Chapter 645 A Little Confused

When Shen Santong spoke, his brows were not furrowed, nor did he look bitter or resentful.

His expression and tone were calm and composed.

He does not position himself as an exporter, but rather as a sharer and discusser.

What Shen Santong said was also true, but for one reason or another, it was not made public in the public opinion, and no one spoke it out with confidence.

There are many public celebrities and people in the cultural field who hold this stance, but very few have the voice of Shen Santong.

Those that occasionally appear appear in the form of certain stereotypes, which in turn push ordinary people out and give people a feeling of being educated.

Shen Santong is different, and he brings movies and works with him.

The ceiling lights in the premiere hall were still glowing white.

In the front row of the guest seats, the official representative related to culture looked to the side, and the representative of another system happened to meet his eyes.

Their eyes met, and they instantly understood each other's meaning.

The people involved exchanged glances, twitched their lips, and quickly reached a consensus.

One of them left first, and then the others also picked up their briefcases.

The local representatives, wearing neat suits and with serious expressions on their faces, stood up quietly one by one and filed out from the side door.

They walked steadily, but there was a hint of anxiety in their eyes.

Representatives from the film industry followed closely behind with complicated expressions on their faces.

There is both recognition of the content of the film and concern about Shen Santong's remarks.

The group gathered together at the emergency exit, left the cinema and found a conference room.

There was some silence for a moment.

They had prepared themselves mentally before coming, but Shen Santong's remarks still made their scalps tingle.

The subsequent impact will spread and will have a significant impact.

However, Shen Santong's influence is also enormous, and the decision to release the film is not just the opinion of a certain department.

The person in charge of the film said: "From the perspective of the film, it is undoubtedly full of elements of people's historical perspective and national self-reliance, which is highly consistent with the mainstream narrative of remembering history and building consensus. Especially the serious attitude towards national suffering and the criticism of the 'three mountains', every sentence is like a sharp knife, pointing directly to the core of the problem."

"The movie fills in our perspective on this period of history, and Shen Santong also severely criticized the blind action and did not use national sentiment to create a stir."

Another said: "At this critical juncture, the relationship between the two sides is tense and nationalism is on the rise. The movie is fine, but his remarks may add fuel to the fire."

The local representative said: "He drew a line in the sand and was highly critical of 'down with the book' and the U-lock."

"The film has a good direction. It starts with the little people in Nanjing. Even without saying it explicitly, every sentence proves the correctness of the path we are on and responds firmly to the historical conclusions."

"We also need such a movie in our local area to tell everyone that the truth of history cannot be tampered with and the dignity of the nation cannot be trampled upon."

The 2009 film “Nanjing! Nanjing!” and the 2011 film “The Flowers of War”, as films with the same background, did not play their roles well and lacked historical authenticity.

The humanized portrayal of Japanese soldiers in "Nanjing! Nanjing!" and the vague historical stance, as well as the fictional plot and commercial entertainment tendency of "The Flowers of War", also weakened the seriousness of this period of history.

It is even shaking the authenticity of history and undermining the established consensus.

We can only objectively promote public attention to the Nanjing Massacre through discussions or controversies derived from related movies.

To put it nicely, it plays an indirect role.

The museum's film and television archives do not include these two films, but mainly documentaries, such as "The Rape of Nanking" and "Memories of Nanjing 1937", as well as oral videos of survivors. A popular and narratively "clean" theater movie can play a good role in historical education, and can also further consolidate consensus and play a direct role.

The representative of the cultural direction said: "The word 'moderation' may be a bit negative, but sometimes we do need to be mature and prudent. National sentiment and international demands need to be balanced, and historical dignity and national dignity also need to be maintained.

"And how should I put it? Objectively, Shen Santong was also fighting for the right to interpret history, trying to interpret history in his own way. He also expressed this tendency when he was interviewed by the Flower Society."

After discussing it for a while, they all felt like they had a headache.

Shen Santong's respect for history and pride in the nation are great.

It is also good to cherish the past and look to the future.

However, Shen Santong also has his bad points.

Too blunt and to the point.

In particular, he directly called the book "Akita Dog", and the harshness of the wording was obviously beyond their tolerance.

The speech also sharply criticized the Kuomintang, especially the words "bald people are turtle sons"...

"Should we ask the leader for instructions?"

I don't know who made the suggestion, but it was quickly agreed by others, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Put down our opinions. We have no way of deciding how to deal with the public opinion on a director with international influence like Shen Santong."

BJ An office.

On the windowsill, a daffodil adds a touch of green.

The dark brown bookcase takes up the entire east wall, with work reports from previous years neatly stacked inside the glass doors.

The desk was covered with a layer of transparent glass, with a newspaper of the ribbon-cutting ceremony and a few photos underneath, most of which were work photos.

On the right side of the desktop computer, there is a pile of documents waiting to be signed and approved, and on the top is a notebook open to a certain page with the preparations written on it.

The armrests of the chair had light white lines worn out, and the chair was covered with a neat towel. Sitting on it was a man who was neither tall nor short, about sixty years old, but still in his prime.

After reading the "1937 Public Opinion Briefing" that had just been reported, the leader was also a little confused.

I exclaimed in my heart, Wow! If someone like Shen Santong were to work in some industrial field, it would be understandable how great his achievements would be.

But in the cultural field, it is extremely rare to have such a person emerge.

Generally speaking, people who have this understanding will not roll around in this mud pit. If they roll around too much, they will eventually be worn out.

I can only say that young people are different.

Made comments on the document.

Cautious acquiescence.

Neither openly supportive nor explicitly critical.

Santong Entertainment is just a private enterprise, and Shen Santong only represents Santong Entertainment as an individual and as the legal person.

After all, those who have been whitewashed can go on the list, those who have been confused can go on the list, and Shen Santong should be able to go on the list as well.

The stage is here, no one can say anything about anyone else.

Time will tell what happens.
