Huayu: Are you even sitting up straight? You're going to be the director?

Chapter 34 No problem, I'll also write a magnificent piece.

Cao Zhong's answer left Wang Renjun momentarily speechless.

Wasn't it you who criticized it at the project launch ceremony?
He couldn't understand what Cao Zhong meant by those words at all.

Cao Zhongdao said: "I talked about the chaos in art education, but I was only targeting one person in the article. Aren't those who are driving this issue just a small group of people? Like the ones you're thinking of. Many people just haven't voiced their opinions for various reasons. These people are not necessarily bad or rotten in nature. From beginning to end, our target has only been Yasujiro Ozu and his loyal fans. That's all."

Now, not only Wang Renjun was confused, but Qi Jiuzhou next to him was also a little confused.

The topic was discussed on such a grand scale before, how come it seems that the enemy you mentioned has already been cut up in an instant?

Seeing their confusion, Cao Zhong explained, "Let me give you a simple example. Do you think Teacher Cui Xinqin belongs to this group?"

"Does not belong to it."

"So you think all people in the directing department belong to this category?"

Cao Zhong asked a more detailed question.
“Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, and other well-known directors from our Beijing Film Academy may be obsessed with the Oscars and the three major European awards, but at least they have never talked about the ups and downs of their daily lives, right?”

Wang Renjun nodded, then shook his head. "Never heard of it."

"so."

Cao Zhongdao,
"My nephew is not a monolithic group. Some criticize his physical condition, some are simply jealous of their fellow countrymen's success, some are pro-American, some are pro-Russian, and some are pro-Japanese. In short, in their eyes, the moon in foreign countries is rounder than the one in China."

When there is no conflict of interest, or when they are not blamed for their actions, they may revel in the traffic, but expressing their opinions is insignificant.

Therefore, these people are enemies, but they are not enemies either.

At least for now, even if they act aggressively towards us, all we need to do is remain hidden from their viewpoint.

"I still don't understand, what should we do?"

At this moment, Wang Renjun felt that following Brother Zhong was simply wonderful. Although he didn't know how many meals he would get in three days, the excitement was off the charts.

Especially what Zhong Ge said, although he didn't quite understand it, he just felt that what Zhong Ge said made a damn good sense.

"Simply put, days for playing the piano are rare."

Cao Zhong focused on the main contradiction and appropriately boosted the confidence of Wang Renjun and Qi Jiuzhou.

"Jia Zhangke, Su Mu and the like, although they definitely belong to the group we criticized before, and most of the directors in the department are also included in our criticism, it is not necessarily true that everyone will be involved."

Our public opinion is an extreme news event, but it's also a cesspool.

If it jumps in, it might not get clean.

And if they leave the field, we'll pretend we don't hear a thing.

You should know that many rare people are speculators with a strong will to survive, but lack conviction and passion. They are selfish and will always be watching the winds.

Therefore, we must be precise in our opposition.

We only need to oppose those who dare to resist us.
For example, we should target those online who make ambiguous, glorifying, or extreme remarks about the Nanjing DTS incident. Mr. Mao, who published a lengthy article online yesterday, is our primary target.

If we simply direct our criticism at Mr. Mao, it will be enough for us to make our voices heard more clearly!

As for the others, we can certainly tolerate them as well.

Wang Renjun grew anxious: "You think you can back down?"

Although he hadn't slept, Wang Renjun's mental energy was at its peak, and he was even starting to resemble Zhang Fei.

"What is our goal? To make movies. On this path, we must forge ahead and clear all obstacles. But you must understand that rarity is not an isolated phenomenon. If we keep focusing on fighting rarity, will we still be able to make movies?"

Cao Zhongyan spoke earnestly, "Enduring this is also a way to build up strength, so that we can slap them even harder when the time comes."

Qi Jiuzhou said, "I understand a bit. It's like a group fight. What Brother Zhong means is that we should first pin down the leader and beat him to death."

“That’s right.” Cao Zhong nodded; Qi Jiuzhou was indeed a promising talent.

"This statement may be crude, but it makes sense. Although four major battles have been launched online, we will not get involved in the other three. Whether it's the battle for fans and traffic, the battle for art and humanity, or even the battle for the historical status of the film 'Tokyo Story,' we will not participate in any of them, even though we started them."

This three-way battle is essentially a meat grinder, with each side talking to itself and no one able to convince the others.

Their goal is to launch a comprehensive and extensive online promotion campaign for the film "Nanjing Photo Studio".

And we...

Let's take the perspective of the World War II narrative, criticize the relevant personnel with all our might, occupy the absolute moral high ground, and fight a battle we are bound to win!

What we're resisting isn't the disputes over art, morality, status, or fans; we're resisting fundamental principles. The Nanjing DTS incident shouldn't be forgotten. We're not resisting art itself, but rather the rare, and specifically, that small group of people who are exceptionally rare!

Qi Jiuzhou and Wang Renjun were aroused by Cao Zhong's words.

Both of them were young men under twenty, and their political background checks were both acceptable.

For a moment, I felt my soul burning!

It's burning up!

A battle we are destined to win.

These four words completely swept away the two young men's worries that night.

"Brother Zhong, what do you suggest?" Qi Jiuzhou clenched his fist. "From now on, I will be Brother Zhong's Green Dragon Crescent Blade."

Wang Renjun was also eager to express his attitude to Cao Zhong, so much so that he even spoke in the Liaocheng dialect of Shandong Province.

"I am a ten-foot-long spear."

"You two go and organize the school's supporters to post online and fiercely attack the relevant personnel across the entire internet. You must grasp one central point and two basic points."

"Brother Zhong, you speak, we're listening."

"The war that was fought in the center was a war of annihilation, killing tens of millions of our people, and for seventy years they have refused to admit their guilt."

One of the fundamental points: There are no good Japanese devils.

Without any hardship, good people, humanity, the sanctuary still stands there.

The second key point: "Nanjing Photo Studio" was created to reflect the status of China as a victim of World War II.

The narrative of World War II has a low global status.

For example, Westerners have a very limited understanding of the Asian theater of World War II.

To this day, many Westerners still have different perceptions of the victims on both sides of the ql subject, and some even believe that we are the aggressors.

Compared to the tragic and devastating events caused by the invaders in China, many Europeans and Americans believe that the peaceful lives annihilated by nuclear weapons are those of victims of World War II.

Qi Jiuzhou was shocked by this.

Is this true or false?

"This is true."

Cao Zhongdao said, "But it doesn't matter anymore. As long as we use their information gap to spread propaganda in China, many of my nephews will immediately fall into a state of internal conflict, and this group will be no threat to us."

"Brother Zhong, what are you going to do to deal with Mao Yushi?"

Wang Renjun thought of Mao Yushi's powerful article and was so angry he gritted his teeth.

Cao Zhongdao:
"No problem, I'll also write a magnificent piece."
