Chapter 630 Such a Director
The evil director is a famous director in the country and is also considered a relatively famous director. As a newcomer among the tenth generation of directors in China, he has produced several works that have won awards abroad.
Of course, these works only won awards abroad and were not released in China. To put it bluntly, they involved too many dark sides, so they would not pass the review at all.
If we talk about the film censorship system in China, it is quite strict. At least in the eyes of those people in Hollywood, it is quite strict.
The annual limit system for Hollywood film introduction is enough for Hollywood's top six (or seven) film companies to sigh when they look at the giant-style cake of China, and then fight for the dozen or twenty places.
However, not all domestic people can understand the system of protecting Chinese local films. They only feel that China's market is not open enough and too strict, but they will not think about whether these Hollywood movies are really just movies?
Lin Dong has read related books and knows that the Chinese film industry has experienced several major crises.
One of the more famous times was in the early days of reform and opening up. Because of the opening up, foreign films were displayed relatively wide, and there were many blockbusters coming in.
If, according to common sense, a country that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state that is in a state of rebuilding is not left.
Fortunately, although the opportunity was given to them, the people and the people were not on their side. At that time, those who rushed into China were not only Hollywood movies, Eastern European movies, but also Japanese movies.
During that period, China and Japan were in the best period of that century. In order to compensate for the harm caused to China by the war of aggression against China, the Japanese government provided China with a large amount of interest-free loan. At that time, the people were also quite friendly to Japan's "friends", of course, except for the group of elderly people who had been infringed.
After all, after opening up, people discovered that the country had developed to that level!
What followed, including Japanese cultural products, and those who experienced that era knew how popular Japanese film and television works such as "Chasing", "Blood Clotting", "Volleyball Female Player" were at the beginning!
The directors who filmed movies such as "Red Sorghum" at that time were also praised by the Japanese to heaven.
Of course, in fact, they are also unhappy. Just like the current praises of France, Britain and other countries for the tenth generation of directors, they only use the hands of the Chinese to exaggerate the dark side of the Chinese at the bottom.
The reason why that "cultural invasion" failed to succeed was that no one expected that the final hero was actually "pirated version"!
Yes, it's pirated!
At that time, China was in a mess, and various laws were not sound, and the crackdown on piracy was not as strong as it is now (also not big enough now). Whether it was film and television works from Japan, Hollywood, or other countries, they were besieged by overwhelming pirated products before they were released in theaters. If it had an impact on ordinary people, it would be absolutely huge. But if it had profits, it was basically not possible.
Although Hollywood is responsible for helping to promote the "universal values" of the United States, those people are businessmen after all, and they will not do things without profit.
Therefore, in the eyes of those who understand, the attack was fierce, but retreated silently. In the eyes of ordinary people, they only saw a large number of foreign film and television programs flooding the market, but quickly disappeared and disappeared.
Later, with the gradual improvement of the domestic system and the quota system, the door to prevention was blocked. Although many people complained, people with a discerning eye could still see that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.
Turn around, let’s talk about this black director.
China's censorship system for domestic films is very general, and this has been a long time since it has been dirty. I hope that film censorship can imitate Europe and the United States and implement a hierarchical system. This is the dream of filmmakers.
However, for a while, there was no hope in this thing. It was just thinking about it.
The predecessors of the black directors actually experienced similar things. With a passion, they first filmed the shadows of China that are unknown to the public. These films may carry the director's efforts, ambitions, struggles, ideals, etc., but to be honest, no matter which country, such a type of film, would probably not allow such a film to be screened on a large scale in their own country.
For example, go to Hollywood to shoot a film about the first American president, Washington, who ordered a massacre of Indians on a large scale? Although this is a historical fact, the Americans will never let such a film appear on the public screen.
Or filming a campus shooting in the United States, where the police kill black people for no reason, there should be no superheroes. Just filming such a thing, do you see if you can pass the trial?
By the same token, no one wants these low-probability events to mislead the public to think that their world is like this.
Therefore, as for the type of films of the black director, Lin Dong just watched them and stopped paying attention to them. Such films that have not been reviewed cannot be screened on a large scale in the mainland. Only filmmakers in Europe and the United States who are committed to promoting the backwardness of China and "popularizing science" the "truth" in China, the country and society will pay attention to such films.
In the past, those generations of directors would have won a certain unit award at the Cannes Film Festival in France, or were on the red carpet, and then they would have been widely reported by domestic media, and then they would have become famous in China, and then they would have started filming the main film, gaining both fame and fortune.
Although the black director has also won a certain unit award in France, as the transparency of news increases, many industry insiders have understood that the so-called French love for Chinese movies is just to show the bad side of China and show that they attach great importance to "Chinese culture". In fact, most of the so-called award-winning content will not be broadcast on French media at all. The "Impression of China" accepted by the French people is still the content regulated by the government.
Because of this, although the black director "winned the award", he is not very famous in China. To be honest, in this era when fast food culture is flooding the Internet, there are really not many people watching the films he has made.
So, the black director came to Lin Dong.
He has talked with Lin Dong twice, hoping to put his movie on Bifang virtual platform.
