Chapter 221 If you want to be a gun, you can't have too many personal ideas

Film Bureau, Zhang Hongsen’s office.

"Your book is good. In order to save his daughter, the father is willing to risk everything to fight against the evil forces. It not only reflects correct values, but also has certain educational significance."

Zhang Hongsen nodded first, then said: "There are a few points in it that you need to pay attention to."

"Director Mori, I just feel like I can't grasp it, and I want to ask you for advice.

"First of all, you can't shoot this film in the mainland. This kind of plot can't happen in the mainland. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand."

The emphasis has always been on stability and prosperity.

If it is filmed as a story about the mainland, what is the intention? Is it to go against the higher-ups?

……

"Then let's shoot it in Hong Kong or abroad. What do you think?"

"As for Hong Kong Island, as you know, I don't have a very good relationship with them. Countries in Southeast Asia should be suitable."

"Well, this gang organization is a bit sensitive. It's best not to mention the specific name. You can use a code name."

"Okay, Chief Mori."

"Also, change the protagonist's identity and background. Don't write him as a secret agent. Change him to a bodyguard. This way, it won't affect the characterization."

"You're right, I was negligent."

"That is, when filming, you should pay attention to the relevant situation and the relationship between the country where the filming is taking place and us. You should carefully consider it."

"Yeah, I'll definitely pay attention."

"Otherwise, there are no problems."

"Thank you so much, Director Sen. I now suddenly understand something." Lin Yicheng said sincerely.

I suddenly realized something.

He wrote two versions of this book.

One version is the one Zhang Hongsen is seeing now, which has several problems.

The other one is completely fine and avoids all sensitive points.

Why do you want to do this?
Since you are asking for advice from the leader, there must be some problems so that the leader can give you some guidance.

The leader has given you guidance and is familiar with you. When something good happens in the future, he will naturally think of you.

Otherwise, if you show your leader a perfect answer, what do you want him to say?
You can't always find fault with everything.

This is called human nature.

……

"Hehe, kid." Zhang Hongsen smiled.

"Xiao Lin, I have something I want to ask you."

"Director Mori, you say."

"Do you have any opinions on the censorship?"

"Ah? I have no objection."

"Sincerely?"

"Of course I'm telling the truth. I think the current censorship standards are pretty good. Content that shouldn't appear won't appear. Only in this way can the domestic film and television industry develop healthily."

Lin Yicheng really meant this statement sincerely.

There are many films in China that are very inappropriate.

Especially some banned films and horror films, the content will make you feel sick after watching them, you will not be able to eat for several days, and you don’t want to think about them again.

This is the case even when there is censorship. Just look at the nature of these domestic directors. Without the ropes to tie them up, they can fly into the sky.

Being a director requires a lot of talent and ability to make a living.

Many directors lack these two qualities.

What should I do?
Take the crooked path!

Once the ropes on their necks are loosened, they will go straight to the lower world, even dare to give birth live in a movie!

This is nothing. What I should be afraid of are those people who have crooked butts.

For example, if there were no censorship, how would Rikutaro's "Nanjing! Nanjing!" turn out?
I'm afraid they are going to whitewash Xiao Ri and portray them as innocent people or even victims!
He can definitely do this!
……

Although there are constraints with the review, it can really prevent some bad things from appearing.

Of course, since the review is done by humans, some of the rules and regulations are decided by these people.

Whether it is out of subjective consciousness or based on personal preference, it is inevitable.

There is really no good way to deal with this. Even if we replace these people with another group, can we completely eliminate this problem?

Since Zhang Hongsen asked this, Lin Yicheng was willing to tell a few truths. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, it was always an opportunity and he wanted to try it.

"I do have a bit of immature advice, though."

"I knew you would have some ideas. I've been waiting for you." Zhang Hongsen said with a smile.

He knew Lin Yicheng well enough to know that this young man was not a man who followed the rules.

"I just think, can we treat everyone equally when it comes to review?"

"Tell me more specifically."

"For example, the Hollywood movies we import are all about biochemical mutations or virus transformations. They can film these kinds of things, but what about us..."

“You want to shoot this kind of thing too?”

"It's not that I want to shoot this kind of film, but I feel that Hollywood is now so aggressive that domestic films can't hold their heads up high." Lin Yicheng paused and continued.

"It's like a boxing match. The other person is tall and strong, while we are thin and small. In this case, the rules for both sides are different, so there is no way we can fight!"

"Well, what you said makes some sense. I'll think about it and bring it up to Director Tong. Let me ask you, if we treat everyone equally, can we compete with Hollywood?"

"It's difficult. It's very difficult. Director Mori, you know that Hollywood has been developing for nearly a hundred years, while our commercialization has just started. Whether it's the industrial base or the quality of the personnel, the gap is too big."

"They are formal companies with mechanized assembly line production. What about us? To put it nicely, we are township enterprises, to put it bluntly, we are just handicraft workshops. How can we compare?" "Alas, I don't know if I can ever see the day when we surpass Hollywood." Zhang Hongsen sighed.

"Of course we can. In the past two years, the domestic economy has developed rapidly, the consumption level of the people has increased significantly, and we have a population advantage."

"As long as the higher-ups come up with some support policies, under the leadership of you and Director Tong, we can all work together with one mind and one strength. That day will definitely come."

"However, a blacksmith must be strong himself. He must first cultivate his inner strength, and then learn from the foreigners to defeat them."

……

"Is there something hidden in your words? Just say it, don't hold it in." Zhang Hongsen said.

"Director Sen has a keen eye. As expected, nothing can be hidden from you." Lin Yicheng smiled embarrassedly and continued.

"I mentioned this to you and Director Tong last time. There are too many chaotic situations in the domestic film and television industry. Many people are obsessed with money and have no overall view. But..."

"You want to know why there is no progress on what we talked about last time, right?"

"You are wise."

"I won't talk about unity or unification. Let's talk about movies. What do you think is the most important thing about movies?"

After hearing what Zhang Hongsen said, Lin Yicheng shook his head.

“It’s a compromise.”

Zhang Hongsen pointed out: "People's will and public opinion must be compromised, policies and guidelines must be compromised, market funds must be compromised, content review must be compromised, you have to compromise, Director Tong and I must compromise, and the higher-ups must compromise even more. Do you understand?"

Zhang Hongsen really admires Lin Yicheng.

This is a piece of jade.

It just lacks polish.

He even felt that if the domestic film industry wanted to catch up with Hollywood, Lin Yicheng would play a crucial role.

Seeing Lin Yicheng deep in thought, Zhang Hongsen wanted to say a few more words.

……

"You are still young. Young people act impulsively and are clumsy. Everyone will understand and the higher-ups won't care."

"But you can't keep being impulsive. You are the flag and leader of the young generation."

"You like to use analogies, so I'll give you one too. You are like a general right now. If you ignore everything and continue to charge blindly, others will follow you."

"Think about it, can we win this battle? If we lose, who will be held responsible? It will be you, the defeated general!"

"In war, the key factors are the right time, right place, and right people. You can't change the time. You can only cooperate with the right place. The only thing you can decide is the right people."

"Unite all those who can be united, win over all those who can be won over. You also understand this principle."

"For some people, it doesn't matter whether they are black cats or white cats. As long as they can catch mice, they are good cats!"

"Of course, some cats that eat their own food but help others catch mice are still not useful."

"When most of the mice are caught, some cats..."

Zhang Hongsen stood up and patted Lin Yicheng on the shoulder affectionately.

"Go back and think about it carefully. If you think it through, your future will be smooth sailing. Otherwise, you will fall flat on your face sooner or later."

"Thank you, Director Sen. I will go and think about it carefully." As he said this, Lin Yicheng bowed to Zhang Hongsen.

If Zhang Hongsen didn't treat him as his own, he would never say these words given his status.

……

After leaving the film bureau and sitting back in the car, Lin Yicheng realized that his back was a little wet.

Lin Yicheng smiled bitterly.

There were some things that he thought he had done perfectly, and he had found the right measure and timing.

Is this really the case?

If you want to know something, what can’t you find out?

Apple Daily and Oriental Daily, Fang Zhouzi, Pony.com, and Star Media.

He knows how he did these things, and his superiors know better!

Lin Yicheng realized that he was still careless.

Some things are done too roughly and too conspicuously.

There are also some things where his methods are in the gray area.

……

Are Zhang Hongsen's words his own thoughts or are they spoken on behalf of others?

Lin Yicheng didn’t know and didn’t want to worry about it.

The words have already played their role.

From now on, there are some things that I really can no longer do myself, and there are some methods that I can no longer use.

This time, the higher-ups were tolerant of him and gave him face.

He has to be careful and not think that he is so awesome and invincible.

His gun is really needed up there.

He felt very satisfied after stabbing someone this time.

But what if he gets used to stabbing, who will he poke next time?
What if it ends up spreading to other circles, or to someone who shouldn't be exposed...

Above, of course we should care about this.

Since it's a gun, you can't have too many personal thoughts.

You must not stab anyone you want according to your own ideas.

otherwise.

Put it aside and replace it with another one. This is still the lightest one.

It would be serious if it had to be recycled and made into new again!
