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

Chapter 61, "Nanjing Photo Studio," premieres!
Cao Zhong's powerful article silenced the bunch of dogs in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who were throwing money around like crazy.

A fatal blow!
I just spun the dog around in circles.

Because these four words belong exclusively to a certain person.

Cao Zhong's actions, however, exposed the truth of the matter to the public.

So after Cao Zhong published this article, Aji's extravagant spending spree came to a complete halt.

Aki's overseas center was just established last year. They had been preparing for the launch of various funds and were planning to start next year. However, because Cao Zhong had previously criticized Ozu, they took emergency measures and used a lot of money-spraying tactics to attack Cao Zhong.

This had been the case for the past few months, but after Cao Zhong published this article,
They were completely bewildered.

Cao Zhong's actions were a bit too ruthless, leaving Gouzi completely stunned and unsure how to respond.

For a moment, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, running around in circles!
This question wasn't taught!

I don't know how to do this!

……

Han Sanpin was also completely bewildered.

The old man was sitting comfortably in his seat at the China Film Group Corporation, drinking tea, when his secretary came over and told him about Cao Zhong's remarks. The old man almost fell off his chair.

Cao Zhong completely defied expectations, and when Han Sanpin saw the news, he thought he was seeing things.

After reading it, Han Sanpin immediately understood.

He finally understood why Cao Zhong had told him to make sure the last song was finished before today.

Han Sanpin quickly made a phone call to Cao Zhong, "Xiao Cao, if you make any moves next time, let this old comrade know. I have a heart condition."

"I'm doing this all for Chairman Han."

“I understand your good intentions. I will definitely go to the preview screening and the premiere.”

My advice is not to.

"What else do you plan to do?" Han Sanpin asked in surprise.

“I’m going to wear custom-made clothes and a custom-made hat,” Cao Zhong said. “It might be a bit exciting.”

"You underestimate me. I've eaten more salt in my life than you've eaten rice. What clothes or hats could excite me? Do you really think I know nothing?" Han Sanpin scoffed.

A moment later, Cao Zhong took a picture and sent it to Zhao Haicheng.

Zhao Haicheng couldn't help but laugh and showed it to Han Sanpin, who immediately noticed Han Sanpin's lips twitching uncontrollably.

"Young man, I really don't understand. Isn't this going a bit too far?" Han Sanpin was speechless.

“If you don’t come, this is just a grassroots action. Grassroots actions are hard to define,” Cao Zhong said.

Han Sanpin considered it for a moment, "You can do whatever you want with the text, but please be mindful of the impact of the pictures on the clothes."

Cao Zhong was speechless: "I shouldn't have answered your call."

……

On July 29, the concept song "Jade Plate" for the movie "Nanjing Photo Studio" was released.

This song, sung entirely by children, sparked huge controversy upon its release.

If we say that the previous two songs allowed people to feel the close connection between Nanjing and the past and present, then...

This song seems to be just talking about a jade plate and the moon.

But soon, many fans found that this children's song contained a hidden sense of vicissitude, tragedy, and murderous intent, which was shocking.

It sounded like a ceremonial war song. Then, someone commented.

“Since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, whenever a child sings a war song, it means that everyone except children, regardless of age or gender, must go to war.”

The battle song rises, protecting the young, preserving the bloodline, storing the classics, passing on the cultural heritage, and setting out to war!

This song is meant to express the sentiment of the entire nation protecting the country.

This comment was widely reposted by Cao Zhong's supporters across the internet and featured as a headline on major forums and portal websites.

In an instant, the entire internet was moved to tears.

People understood Cao Zhong's deeper meaning.

……

8 month 7 day.

The premiere and first round of preview screenings of "Nanjing Photo Studio" were officially held in NJ City.

On the morning of the film's premiere, Cao Zhong, Huang Xiaoming, Xu Zheng, and other main cast members made a special trip to the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders to lay flowers in remembrance of the victims of the Nanjing Massacre, and then took a group photo at the iconic Zhonghua Gate in Nanjing.

The premiere officially began at 4 p.m.

Under the theme of "Time Imprinting, Memories Endure," the premiere...
The surrounding red carpets didn't look as glamorous; instead, they added a somber atmosphere.

But on both sides of the red carpet, fans had already formed three or four layers deep.

The main actors appeared one by one, including Huang Xiaoming, Xu Zheng, Mei Ting, Zu Feng, Qi Jiuzhou, Yang Zi, Hai Qing and others.

The outcry from outside is growing louder and louder.

Han Sanpin and Cao Zhong finally agreed that since Cao Zhong had messed things up at the premiere, he would attend the remaining preview screenings instead, so Han Sanpin didn't come.

But Wang Zhonglei came; he wanted to watch a movie.

Let's see just how good the movie his brother is talking about really is.

Han Sanpin also called Yu Dong, asking him to come and lend a hand.

This also made the premiere of "Nanjing Photo Studio" seem a bit deserted. Han Sanpin's secretary, Zhao Haicheng, did come, but he was dressed very casually.

The host is Jingwei, a CCTV host, which was arranged by Han Sanpin.

As the crowd slowly walked down the red carpet, reporters around them began to ask questions.

"Mr. Huang Xiaoming, how would you evaluate director Jia Zhangke, who had a heated ideological conflict with director Cao?"

Huang Xiaoming frowned. "This is the premiere of 'Nanjing Photo Studio'!"

Suddenly,
Cao Zhong appeared last.

The reporters went wild instantly, their flashbulbs popping, and they swarmed in!

"Director Cao, Jia Zhangke's new film 'Useless' has been selected for the Venice International Film Festival again. Does this mean that your previous criticism of 'If you are kept by someone, don't talk about independent personality' was just personal conjecture?"

In the reporter's questioning voice,
Cao Zhong finally appeared more clearly in front of the reporter's camera.

The reporter didn't notice at first, but then suddenly his eyes lit up with ecstasy.

The patterns and text on Cao Zhong's hat and clothes

That small concept map
Just one word.

six!
Six times over!
