This director is so innocent.

Chapter 130 Shishi: Su Jin, you're abusing your family.

The little girl is blind.

She finished filming her scenes in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and just returned from Hengdian yesterday.

She also brought him a lot of Hengdian specialties, as well as this uncut version of "The Story of Liang Tang," saying they would appreciate art together.

Upon hearing Su Jin's words, Liu Shishi stopped pretending, lowered her hand, and looked at him openly.

Judging from the blush on her cheeks, she was quite shy.

This was the first time she'd ever seen such an explicit film in her life, so her heart was pounding incredibly fast—thump-thump-thump!

Liu Shishi stole a glance at Su Jin, who was sitting on the other side. He looked calm and composed, seemingly not embarrassed at all.

She suddenly became curious, so she asked, "Brother Jin, do you boys often watch these kinds of movies?"

"No, these kinds of films are too dull. Apart from professional filmmakers, very few people like to watch them."

To be fair, although Li An's film is politically incorrect, it has a very accurate grasp of human nature and the psychology of the characters.

If you look closely and attentively, you can feel the tragedy and poignant beauty within it.

His camera work is also incredibly visually appealing; the opening scene of him playing mahjong, along with three passionate scenes, are truly artistic.

Most directors don't have that kind of skill; they end up making a Category III film while filming, like "Apple".

While both films feature explicit sex scenes, the bathroom battle in "Apple" feels like a simple release of primal desires, devoid of any sense of beauty.

That's not what I meant.

"Not this one? Then which one is it?"

"Yes—it's one of those movies, the kind with two people acting in it." Liu Shishi stammered, her voice growing softer and softer, like a mosquito's hum.

Su Jin immediately recognized what movie it was from her tone, so she raised her hand and said, "Lean over a little."

"What are you doing?" Liu Shishi looked at Su Jin suspiciously. She had a feeling that if she leaned out, she might get beaten up.

"Nothing! It's just that I haven't seen you in a long time, and your skin looks smoother. I want to touch it." Su Jin's lips curved into a smile, revealing a row of white teeth, making her look harmless.

"Really?" Liu Shishi was dazzled and excited, so she leaned out without hesitation.

"It is indeed quite tender." Su Jin casually touched it and pinched it.

Liu Shishi was happy, even somewhat intoxicated by the moment, but in the next instant, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her cheek.

It turned out that Su Jin had pinched her cheek at some point and said seriously, "What are you thinking with your head at such a young age, asking all sorts of nonsense questions?"

"Ah—it hurts—it hurts—" Liu Shishi grabbed Su Jin's hands with both hands, trying to break free, but she couldn't pry them open at all, and the more she pried, the more it hurt.

"Brother Jin, you lied to me again," Liu Shishi said reproachfully.

"I'm not lying to you! Your skin really is great, smooth and delicate." Su Jin smiled, but then her face hardened. "If you dare ask that kind of question again, I'll definitely tell your parents and have them give you a good scolding."

Liu Shishi, however, was not afraid. Instead, she looked at Su Jin defiantly and threatened, "If you dare to tell my parents, I'll say you touched my face and my butt."

Su Jin was slightly taken aback, and even the pressure on her hand unconsciously lessened a little. She frowned and asked, "When did I touch your butt?"

"What do you mean, 'no'? Last summer, when I came back from Shanghai, you treated me to dinner. On the street, didn't you touch my butt?"

Upon hearing this, Su Jin immediately remembered that there was such a thing, but it was different from what Sister Xia had said.

"Don't try to change the subject; it was hitting, not touching."

"So what if I hit you? Does hitting involve physical contact? Did you touch me?" Liu Shishi shouted.

"You really know how to argue! Hitting and touching are two different things, don't confuse them."

"How did I confuse the two? Did you touch me?"

Damn it!

Confucius was right; it has always been said that women and petty men are difficult to deal with.

You should never try to reason with a woman.

Su Jin released her grip, stood up, and decided to use her strength to reason with Sister Xia.

Liu Shishi rubbed her face and saw Su Jin stand up with a blank expression and walk towards her. A bad feeling rose in her heart, and she quickly apologized.

"Brother Jin, I was wrong, I'm sorry."

"You chickened out so quickly? I still prefer your defiant attitude from before." Su Jin looked down at her, a cold smile playing on her lips.

Liu Shishi clasped her hands together and said pitifully, "Brother Jin, I was really wrong, I'm sorry."

She tried everything – acting cute, pretending to cry – but Su Jin remained unmoved.

He quickly reached out one hand and grabbed Liu Shishi's slender wrist tightly, while his other hand embraced her delicate waist, and then lifted her onto his lap.

Immediately afterwards, a clear and loud sound rang out in the quiet screening room.

"Smack!!!"

"Ouch!!! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts—"

Liu Shishi screamed in pain, her originally fair face turning bright red instantly.

She writhed in agony, trying to break free of her restraints, while repeatedly begging for mercy: "Brother Jin, I was wrong, I was really wrong."

However, Su Jin ignored her pleas for mercy and raised her hand again.

"Smack!!!"

The crisp sound echoed through the air once more.

Liu Shishi felt that this time it hurt even more than the last time. Her little bottom was burning, as if it were on fire and the pain was unbearable.

Before she could even beg for mercy, Su Jin's slap landed again, making a crisp sound.

This time, Liu Shishi's body trembled violently, a sharp pain spread throughout her body, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

"Su Jin, this is domestic violence!" Liu Shishi shouted.

"You're not my wife, so what kind of domestic violence is this?" Su Jin chuckled, put Liu Shishi back on the sofa, and turned to leave.

Looking at Su Jin's back, Liu Shishi made up her mind, immediately got up and caught up with Su Jin. She leaped up, wrapped her arms tightly around his neck, and clamped her legs tightly around his waist.

Immediately afterwards, she opened her small mouth and bit Su Jin's shoulder hard.

I'll bite you to death if you say I'm not your wife.

"hiss----"

Su Jin gasped in pain and shouted, "Liu Shishi, are you a dog?! You love biting people so much!"

That time I spanked Sister Xia's butt, she bit me. She bit me again this time. Does he have a grudge against dogs?

"Who told you to hit me, and hit me so hard?" Liu Shishi said loudly without fear.

Su Jin didn't want to argue about these trivial matters with her, and said directly, "Get down here."

"No, apologize to me—no, let me spank you three times, and I'll get down."

"roll."

"Is there no room for negotiation?"

"If you don't get down here soon, you're in for a world of hurt."

"You actually dared to threaten me? Brother Jin, you're really getting out of control!"

'

"Why is this person stealing his lines?!"

"Liu Shishi, you've really grown bold, daring to say that to me."

"So what if I've become capable? What can you do about it?"

"What's wrong—" Su Jin sneered, and taking advantage of Liu Shishi's momentary lapse in attention, she grabbed Liu Shishi's wrists with both hands, twisted them forcefully, and with her left hand over her head, pulled the blind woman in front of her.

Liu Shishi looked at Su Jin, completely bewildered. How could the balance of power have shifted so quickly?

Why not just keep your mouth shut while you're ahead? You had to be so sarcastic; now your backside's going to suffer.

"If you don't discipline someone for three days, they'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles!" Su Jin said with a half-smile.

"Hehe—" Liu Shishi chuckled awkwardly, "Brother Jin, would you believe me if I said I have multiple personalities?"

"Do you think I'd believe that?" Su Jin retorted.

"I will believe you." Liu Shishi nodded emphatically.

"I don't believe you," Su Jin smacked her on the head, then pointed to the sofa and said, "Go lie down over there."

"Can we save it for next time?" Liu Shishi subconsciously touched her buttocks and said weakly.

"What do you think!" Su Jin glared at her and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and go over there, don't force me to take action."

"oh----"

Liu Shishi walked slowly with a bitter face, turning back every few steps, hoping that Su Jin would change her mind.

"If you turn around again, I'll hit you even harder than before," Su Jin said expressionlessly.

Liu Shishi was startled and quickly walked over, then obediently lay down on it.

"Lie still and don't turn around. I'm going to get a drink of water." Su Jin smiled slightly, watched for a while, and seeing that the blind girl was behaving well, she turned and left with peace of mind.

Time passed by, but Su Jin still hadn't returned. Liu Shishi thought something had happened to Su Jin, so she quickly got up to look for her.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Su Jin sitting on the sofa leisurely watching TV, and realized that he had been tricked.

Her temper flared up instantly. She rushed over, straddled Su Jin's lap, grabbed his collar, and shouted, "You didn't even tell me you weren't going to spank me! I thought something had happened to you!"

'

""

So, it's my fault if I don't spank you?

"If you dare do that again, I'll spank you until your butt is raw and bleeding."

Upon hearing this, Su Jin's face immediately darkened. Was he spoiling his blind sister too much? She was becoming increasingly disrespectful.

Upon seeing this, Liu Shishi's pupils constricted sharply, thinking she was about to be beaten again. She quickly clung to Su Jin's chest, pretending to cry, "Brother Jin, you mustn't do this again next time. I'm so worried about you, you know?"

"If something happens to you, how will I live?"

"I don't want to live either."

Su Jin was speechless after being teased by the blind woman and lost the mood to scold her. She gently patted her back and said irritably, "Get up, I won't hit you anymore."

"No! Let me lie down for a bit, you smell so good," Liu Shishi said coquettishly, wriggling her body.

Su Jin straightened up, ignoring Xia Jie's objections, forcibly released her arm, threw her onto the sofa, got up and walked out, her steps suggesting a hasty escape.

Liu Shishi didn't chase after her, but giggled and smiled.

She just realized something: it turns out that Brother Jin also has feelings for her.

Thinking of this, her cheeks flushed.

Pooh----

shameless.

The movie "The Coffin in the Mountain" has been taken off the screens.

The film was released for a total of 31 days and its final box office was 1.32 million yuan, temporarily ranking first among domestic films in the annual box office.

Zuo Shandiao called her to ask if she wanted to apply for a key and extend the deadline by one month.

Su Jin said no, because the film market in November is too competitive.

Besides Li An's "The Story of Liang Tang", there are two other Hollywood movies.

15日《虎胆龙威4》上映，20日《谍影重重3》上映，30日《苹果》上映。

11 month 7 day.

The press conference for the launch of "The Invisible Guest" was held at the Sheraton Hotel.

This is the second film by director Su Jin, whose films have grossed over 100 million yuan. The female lead is international superstar Gong Li, which has attracted a lot of media attention, with over a hundred reporters in attendance.

The content was the same as previous press conferences for the start of filming, mainly introducing the story synopsis and the four main actors, and that was it.

Some media reporters shared their opinions on "Liang Tang's Works".

Su Jin wanted to say that he was just standing there watching, so how else could he watch?

But thinking about it carefully, he didn't like the movie "The Legend of Liang Tang" to begin with. He could tolerate the three explicit sex scenes, but he was wrong to whitewash traitors.

As Mr. Zhang Peiheng once said: "Literature is a vivid reflection of social life that uses language as a tool and emotion to move people."

"The reason why literary works can move people with emotion is, on the one hand, because the writer himself is deeply moved by emotions and has a high level of expressive ability."

"On the other hand, it's because, under normal circumstances, a writer's emotions are based on human nature, so they can resonate with readers."

"I think the same goes for movies!"

What did I see in "Liang Tang's Works"?

At this point, Su Jin paused, and seeing the reporters below growing impatient, he continued, "I saw the darkness of human nature, I saw the whitewashing of traitors, and I saw the insults against revolutionary martyrs."

This statement caused an uproar.

The media reporters whispered among themselves, very excited; this trip was definitely worthwhile.

Since its release, "The Story of Liang Tang" has been the subject of much controversy.

Some supporters believe that art should not be linked to politics; it's just a movie, and its significance should not be exaggerated.

There are neutral observers; I simply enjoy a movie without judging it as good or bad.

Some critics argue that the film is vulgar and lowbrow, and whitewashes traitors.

But none of the opponents were as famous as Su Jin.

"I wonder if everyone knows that the character Wang Jiazhi is based on a real person, Ms. Zheng Pingru, an anti-Japanese war martyr."

"She did not sell her body. After failing to assassinate the notorious traitor Ding Mocun, she sacrificed herself for her family and for the sake of personally assassinating Ding Mocun."

"But what about Wang Jiazhi? She fell into Mr. Yi's trap of gentleness, and in the end, she even leaked information, leading to the failure of the assassination attempt on Mr. Yi—"

There's a saying that goes like this: "Lust is the art of the bedroom, and abstinence is a six-carat diamond ring that represents money."

"I'd like to ask Director Li An, is it possible to disregard national righteousness and responsibility when faced with these two choices?"

After the press conference, Su Jin received many phone calls.

He's just too outspoken.

Currently, no one in the industry dares to openly criticize Li An; he's the only one who's stubborn and acts like a fool.

Huang Jiaqiang and Zhao Shan also had some reservations about their boss's words, but dared not express their opinions, so they called Zhong Li instead.

"Su Jin, I'm really fed up with you. Couldn't you have just held a proper press conference? Of all people to mess with, you had to pick on Li An," Zhong Lilao complained.

"Don't worry, Sister Fang, I know what I'm doing. It's nothing," Su Jin said nonchalantly.

"You still know what's going on? Next time, can you please not be so impulsive before you speak? If you offend Li An like this, you can forget about winning the Golden Horse Award for your future films."

"It's okay, I never thought about the Golden Horse Awards, it doesn't matter whether I win or not."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Li was speechless. After a long while, she finally said, "I'll go to your company now, and we'll meet and talk."

"No need, just focus on your work, it's a small matter."

"Stop talking nonsense, that's it. I'm hanging up now, let's talk again when we meet."

Su Jin stared at the disconnected phone for a long time without saying a word. He really thought it was a trivial matter and nothing to care about.

As long as he has no interest in the Golden Horse Awards, he has absolutely no reason to back down from Lee An.

Before he could put his phone in his pocket, it rang again.

Upon picking it up, I saw it was Zuo Shandiao (a famous bandit leader).

"Third Master."

"Su Jin, you've really grown up."

Su Jin thought that Zuo Shandiao was calling to criticize him, but Zuo Shandiao's tone was smiling, which meant that he was not angry.

In fact, Han Sanping also disliked "The Work of Liang Tang". He had served in the army and looked down on "The Work of Liang Tang".

If it weren't for the greater good, "The Works of Liang Tang" would have been banned long ago.

The overall picture is that this year's domestic films have really fared poorly.

If it weren't for the unexpected success of "The Coffin in the Mountain," which saved face for domestic films, it would have been even worse.

The top five highest-grossing films of the year are all Hollywood movies.

《变形金刚》2.82亿、《蜘蛛侠3》1.49亿、《哈利波特与凤凰社》1.45亿、《加勒比海盗：世界的尽头》1.25亿、《007：大战皇家赌场》9200万。

Sixth is "Protégé" with 6250 million, seventh is "Confession of Pain" with 6180 million, and eighth is Jay Chou's "Secret" with 48 million.

00 million.

Ninth is "Flash Point" with 3500 million, and tenth is "Invisible Target" with 3300 million.

Domestic films have fallen below the 50% threshold, accounting for less than 35% of the box office.

This is why the State Administration of Radio and Television was so lenient with "The Legend of Liang Tang"—the box office trend was good!

The box office reached nearly 1 million in two weeks.

Otherwise, it would have been taken off the shelves long ago.

"Third Master knows?"

"How could I not know? News of your attack on Li An has already appeared online, causing quite a stir."

"Those reporters are really fast; it hasn't even been an hour yet!"

"Alright, I'm very busy, so let's not waste any more time on small talk. Your criticism of 'Liang Tang's Work' won't be a big deal, since we're all on the same side, and there's some truth to what you said."

But you need to be careful in the future; don't talk nonsense so easily.

"Yes, Third Master, I've got it."

"Bye, bye-bye."

Not long after, Zhong Lilao arrived in a great hurry.

Upon seeing Su Jin, he launched into another round of criticism.

Then, they called an emergency meeting with Huang Jiaqiang and Zhao Shan to deal with the reaction to the news.

To be fair, his criticism of "Liang Tang's Work" has generated a lot of buzz, and the media reporters have really gone all out to promote it.

Baidu Tieba, Tianya, Hupu, Sina, Douban, blogs, and other websites have practically swept across every corner of the internet.

If this were the premiere press conference for "The Coffin in the Mountain," with this level of hype, it could save five million in publicity costs.

Look at what they're saying.

"At the press conference for her new film, Su Jin launched a scathing attack on 'The Story of Liang Tang'."

At the press conference for the start of filming of "The Invisible Guest", Su Jin questioned Li An.

"Su Jin speaks out for revolutionary martyrs, posing three questions to Li An."

The media reporters all used the title "The Invisible Guest" in their headlines and articles.

Those opponents, upon seeing the news, seemed to have found a spiritual leader, and, carrying Su Jin's banner, charged into battle.

When you argue with someone, you either say what Su Jin said, or you say that Su Jin is so great that she said "Liang Tang's Work" is whitewashing traitors. Are you even more great than Su Jin?

Many other writers have also spoken out publicly.

For example, female writer Yan Yanwen stated clearly on her blog that she listed three major sins of "Liang Tang's Works" and that Li An should apologize to the Chinese people.

When Su Jin asked her final question, a well-connected reporter found Li An, who responded to the question.

"I can only say that this is an artistic creation, and it has been created twice."

"I think Eileen Chang chose this story as the background because it was a very sensational event in Shanghai at the time, and it also reflects her own experiences, with many complex elements."

"But viewers and readers really like to put these things together, and because this matter has high news value, the media is reporting on it."

"We started with Eileen Chang's novels and then created the film. It is very different from the real events. During filming, I didn't even show the actors Zheng Pingru's information."

"We didn't study that period of history, and we had absolutely no intention of referencing this true story."

After Li An responded, many reporters wanted to find Su Jin to ask for his opinion on the matter.

Unfortunately, Su Jin stayed on set, focused on filming, and declined all interviews.

Let's talk about the cast of "The Invisible Guest".

Gong Li plays two roles: lawyer Chen Jiajun and housewife Xie Qing.

Sun Honglei plays Jiang Yi, a tech upstart and domineering CEO.

His technology company is a mobile phone company, sponsored by Gionee Mobile – 1500 million.

At that time, Gionee phones were incredibly popular, ranking first in mobile phone sales, second only to Nokia and Samsung. They had Andy Lau as their spokesperson and Feng Xiaogang in a pornographic video.

Ni Dahong plays Li Jianguo, Gong Li's husband, a retired BMW engineer.

Why BMW engineers, and not Mercedes-Benz or Audi engineers?

Because someone else sponsored 1000 million!

The lover is Fan Xiaopang, played by Wang Jinsong, the male lead's private lawyer.

Ticket seller Su Jin herself played the role.

The son role was changed to a daughter, and the actress is Xia Jie.

This character has very few scenes, only two: the first is a car accident, and the second is waking up in the trunk at night.

The rest of the footage either lives on in newspapers or in photographs.

The male lead's wife and daughter also have three or four scenes. Tangtang was invited to make a cameo appearance, and the daughter is Zhang Zifeng.

The main filming location was Beijing.

The cost was 30 million, with Jianmu Media holding 60%, China Film Group 30%, and the remaining 10% going to five cinema chains.

They are Shanghai United, Southern New Express, Beijing Wanda, Lingnan Pearl River, and Zhejiang Times.

In terms of salary, Gong Li is the highest; it can be said that she is the highest-paid actress in the Chinese-speaking world.

For her role in "Miami Vice" in 05, she received $500 million. This time, her salary is $500 million in cash, plus $15 million.

% of the box office revenue.

Next is Sun Honglei, with 90, and Fan Xiaopang with 80.

Ni Dahong 40, Wang Jinsong 40, Liu Shishi 20.

Su Jin is the director, screenwriter, and producer, with a salary of 100 million, plus 12% of the box office revenue.

"The Invisible Guest" is full of Rashomon-like elements. The plot seems very mind-bending, but you can divide it into four parts.

The opening statement will last 10 minutes.

The story told by the male protagonist, Sun Honglei, lasts 50 minutes.

The story told by lawyer Gong Li lasts 20 minutes.

The truth and the ending will be revealed in the final 20 minutes.

The lawyer was actually Gong Li in disguise; she was the mother of the victim, "Liu Shishi."

Naturally, her purpose in going to the male protagonist, Sun Honglei, was not to help him appeal, but to get him to confess and bring him to justice.
