Chapter 117 Playing a big debate with the nun! (

Sister Sando, are you crazy?! The movie of Mr. Corleon was banned and the film did not expect that American audiences have been waiting for this movie for more than a month! Do you do this, have you considered the audience's feelings?! Did you expect that the Hollywood city government would be trampled into ruins by angry people! Did you expect that the Code Executive Board would be dismantled due to the public outrage of the society?!”

"Miss Sando, I disagree with you, I disagree with you very much! You are not only stifling the hope of Hollywood movies, but also blatantly challenging the American people!"

“It’s too unbearable!”

...

For a moment, opposition sounds rose in the screening room, and many people stood up and shouted at Sister Sando and expressed strong opposition.

To be honest, I expected Sister Sando would make suggestions for revisions to my movies, but according to my estimates, she only asked me to cut a few shots at most. How could I think she would ban my movies?

Looking at her calm and composed in the face of everyone's accusations, I have to admire her concentration.

"Miss Sandor, please explain your reasons." Hayes said in an angry tone.

"Yes, tell me your reasons!"

Others asked Sangduo to give reasons. It seems that if this old nun could not say that he was Chou and Yin and Mao, the outcome would be very ugly.

Sister Sandou smiled, stood up calmly, and walked to the front of the screening room, where there was a large blackboard with the main contents of the Hays Code.

"I believe everyone here is more clear than me about the content of the Hays Code. If you want me to give me the reason, I will talk about it." Sister Sando said in an extremely calm tone, and with a smile, she pointed to the blackboard.

"The first thing is that one must not express immoral sexual relations. Everyone has seen this movie by Mr. Corleon just now. There are dozens of scenes in which there are scenes that express sexual relations, such as Butt who is trapped in the castle and made peace with the female vampires, Dracula and Ellen, Dracula and Lucy, etc. These sexual relations are extremely immoral. How much impact will such scenes have on society when appearing in the cinema! Shouldn't movies be banned from being screened in such a movie?"

"The second article is that there is no nude shot that is not artistic and has nothing to do with the theme of the movie, which is purely to attract the audience's sensory stimulation. Sir and ladies, do you remember clearly how many naked shots you have just seen?! They twisted their bodies towards the audience, and I can't see where their artistic qualities are. Instead, I saw you confused by this physical stimulation! Such a movie is a cancer that poisons the human soul! If we do not remove it, it will pollute our souls!"

"The fourth article, transitional violence and blasphemy are not allowed. You have seen it just now. In this movie, there are scenes of killing, blood everywhere, and the broken limbs of people and earth. Although the scenes of fighting are very good, the audience sees scenes where living people are stabbed by swords and finally lose their breath! Isn't such a scene violent?! Isn't it too much?! Also, the most important reason why this movie should be permanently banned is that it seriously unforgivable to blaspheme our Almighty God. As we all know, vampires have been declared evil things by the church since the Middle Ages and listed as taboos. However, this movie has sang Dracula enthusiastically

, Look at his will when he picked the cross, look at his face when he killed our clergy, Director Corleon used all the upward shots when he showed all this. I think everyone here knows that this shot is specially used to shoot those great people! This sinful method reached an outrageous peak at the end of the movie. Dracula used demons to blow up our sacred church, which is where our Lord lives! When he was about to die, he did not repent and provoked God! For such a demon, Mr. Corleon not only did not criticize him, but arranged for him to be reborn in the dark and arranged for him to obtain love. What is this called blasphemy?

"He violated three of the five main codes. Shouldn't he be banned from the screening?!

"Also, the code stipulates that the methods of murder, robbery and theft cannot be described. In the plays that show the environment of that era, there are many scenes of robbery, let alone murder. Mr. Corleone used the movie to teach the audience a vivid murder cultivation class! There is a provision that the scenes of rough treatment of animals are not allowed. Look at the white wolf in it, what are they abused?! The code does not vilify any religious beliefs, faithfully express history, politics, etc.

The rule system, historical figures and the provisions of the nations outside the region, but Mr. Corleon's film extremely distorted the society at that time, and only showed the dark side and the depraved side, but did not reflect the bright side! Such a film almost violated two-thirds of the terms of the code. You said that it was not right and deleted a shot. Everyone, what's the use of this code?! Mr. Hayes, is this code named after you a piece of waste paper?!"

Sister Sando was like a machine gun, and was so arrogant in front of the screening room that she was full of words and a tough attitude. The people who supported her in the back row applauded repeatedly, and those who originally supported Hayes and Hayes herself were both stunned by her.

"On behalf of seven colleagues, I support Sister Sando's opinion. This evil movie should be permanently banned!" Donnayan.

"Boss, it's over." Even Jack next to me lost his confidence.

Hayes and Grant sat in front, their faces as if they were earthy. From her position, the words said by Sister Sandor made some sense. Hayes and Grant could not refute them at all. Even though they knew the value of my movie, if they could not refute Sister Sandor's argument, they would have no way to do so.

The others stared at Hayes and Grant with big eyes, and no one spoke.

Looking at Sister Sanduo's smug smile, I felt that I was going to take action. If I didn't take action, this movie would be permanently banned.

"Dear Sister Sando, dear committee members, can I defend my movie?" I stood up and walked forward.

Hayes and Grant finally found their savior, and the two looked at me gratefully.

My appearance made them find a way out.

"Mr. Corleon, of course you have the right to defend your work, and we will listen carefully!" Hayes looked at Sister Sandor and said loudly.

"Yes, Mr. Corleon, you have to criticize some people and let them open their conservative minds!"

Many people from the audience applauded me warmly for my coming on stage.

"Thank you, Chairman Hayes, thank you everyone!" I nodded, walked to the blackboard and looked at it, then turned around and said to everyone, "I am also one of the masterminds, to be precise, one of the main masterminds. I remember the above content clearly than anyone else. What I want to tell you is that I, Andre, face-to-face, isn't that going to go with money?!"

Hahahaha! There was laughter in the screening room.

I also smiled, glanced at Sando, and continued, "These terms are worthy of compliance by all filmmakers. There is no doubt that those who know me know that I will not do anything that degenerates society! I think this, do you agree?"

"Agree, of course! Mr. Corleon's movies are thought-provoking!"

Someone shouted below.

I nodded: "That gentleman is right. My movies will not show some scenes of singing and dancing, nor will everyone indulge in false happiness. I want everyone to know the pain. Only when you know the pain can you cherish your happy life now. This is the reason why I made this movie."

"Miss Sando said I violated the first article, saying that there are many scenes describing sexual relationships. I agree with her last sentence. But I absolutely object to the previous sentence. You read this article carefully. It clearly states that it is not allowed to express "immoral" sexual relationships. So let's see whether the scenes of sexual relationships in the movie are immoral. But the scene between Butt in the castle and the female vampire. Sister Sando said it is immoral. I think as a nun, you should know better than me that even the Bible describes the believers accepting temptation and ultimately resisting temptation. This scene is like

This shows how a person chooses a bright path after enduring the torment of his soul in the face of such irresistible temptation. As for the shots between Dracula and Ellen, the shots between Dracula and Lucy, all of which have profound meanings, meaning people's love, choice between light and darkness, and meaning the meaning of life, which are expressed in the Bible. In this case, Sister Sandor said it was immoral. Does it mean that the words similar to these in the Bible are immoral?! Should the Bible be permanently a forbidden book?!"

"Okay! Mr. Corleon said so well!" There was a cheer from the audience, and even Hayes and Grant could hear a comfortable hum.

No matter how good Sister Sando is at eloquence, she has a braid in my hand: She is a clergy, and no matter when, I cannot oppose the Bible, I associate these shots with the Bible. Even if she has a thousand mouths all over her body, she cannot refute me.

Sure enough, Sangduo was so angry that his whole body was shaking, but he had no way to do anything to me.

I smiled slightly and continued, "As for the second article, there is no nude shot that is not artistic and has nothing to do with the theme of the movie, which is purely for attracting the audience's sensory stimulation. It is even more untenable to say that I violate this! Everyone has seen these shots, and the key parts of the actors are not shown. If I want to attract the audience's visual stimulation, why do I do this?! Say these shots have nothing to do with the subject of the movie, and you can see if it has anything to do with it?! I think Sister Sando may only focus on the last few words of this bill, "Nude shot", Sister Sando opposes that the nude shots appear in my movie. Is it, Sister Sando?

Haha, I think this is really ridiculous. Everyone is from a civilized society. The teacher told us since childhood that the source of our civilization was ancient Greek civilization. May I ask, at that time, the statues we now consider to be statues of artworks, which one is worn in clothes?! Which one is not exposed in naked bodies and even physical organs! If I want to ban my movies, then, should I destroy all these artworks?! Should I throw those ancient paintings and paintings that are almost naked into the fire?! Sister Sando, do you think this is correct?! Will the people agree?!”

"Okay! Well said!" There was another cheer in the audience.

My words were completely annoyed to those depressed guys.

This time, I related the movie to ancient Greek civilization, and all I said were facts, so Sister Sando had nothing to say.

"My nun Sando said that there is excessive violence in my movies and serious blasphemy, which is the most unacceptable term for me! Everyone knows that I am a devout believer, a devout believer, how could I blasphemy?! The nun said that my movies were violent, and that there were blood everywhere everywhere. This is not false. What I want to say is that the blood here is not enough, and the residual limbs are not enough! Everyone knows that the real history is a history of accumulated blood and corpses. Compared with it, what is this movie shot! In the Bible, God often destroys a nation and makes the earth bleed and drifts. Do we call God violent? Of course, we cannot, we

It is said that God is punishing humans for the sins committed by human beings! The same is true for the violent scenes of the movie. It allows us to face history while facing human nature, and face human nature like never before! The more this scene is, the more it can hurt the nerves of the audience, make him think about his current situation, and let him do good! Is such a scene prohibited?! Regarding blasphemy, the nun said that Dracula was provoking God in the end, which was purely your preconceived understanding, and I don't accept it! You said that it was provoking God, haha, you also saw it, it was a down shot, God looked at him from a high place, and Dracula was at most accusing God of his destiny, not provoking. In the Bible, that was made by God.

Didn’t believer Job also do similar actions? Didn’t he be rewarded by God in the end?! Job can, why can’t Dracula?! I arranged love for Dracula, dare to ask Sister Sando, do you understand the meaning of love?! You don’t understand! It is the most precious thing in the world! It is enough to change everyone’s lives! Who said that vampires cannot have love?? Finally, arrange Dracula’s rebirth, and this ending is my respect for the Almighty God. Everyone knows that God is the most loving and can forgive all the sins we have committed, even if it is a ruthless person. I arranged Dracula to be reborn to give him a possibility to recognize his mistakes and a chance to reform himself! Isn’t this in line with God’s will?!”

My voice became louder and louder, and Sanduo was speechless when I spoke, and his old face turned red.

Play debate with me, I will play you to death!

You know, at that time in school, I was also the best debater!

"Ms. Sando said that I showed criminal methods such as theft and robbery in the movie, and said that there were scenes of murder. This statement could only make me laugh and cry. Is the Los Angeles of 1900 like this? Is it like this on the streets that people suddenly robbed other people's things at any time?! I am not showing criminal methods, but deeply exposing the society at that time. Besides, if I pounced on them in broad daylight and robbed them, I would be dying of laughter. If Sister Sando had time, she could go to the cell to ask those robbers who had been arrested. You find the stupidest one, and then ask him if he would choose such a criminal method. If he answered yes, I would withdraw my bean immediately!"

Hahaha! My words made Hayes and Grant on the stage laugh out loud.

"Also, I'm sorry for the white wolf, Sister Sanduo. Look at the animals in the movie that are stronger than the calf. I'm lucky if it doesn't abuse me! I'm saying that I bent history and only showed the dark side, but did not show the bright side, so I'm going to ask Sister Sanduo, did this dark side exist in the society at that time? Of course, it exists! What I did is not distort history. I just intercepted one level of history to show it to everyone. This method is called "individual research method" in sociology. You won't know it, right?"

I made the final summary one by one: "The Hays Code is an extremely important code, which is a powerful weapon to ensure that Hollywood will not go to depravity and darkness. The Code Executive Bureau under Mr. Hays is a knowledgeable person who is responsible to society and the people. From the moment the Code was promulgated and from the moment the Executive Bureau was established, I have supported Mr. Hays and the work of the Bureau without hesitation. I respect Mr. Hays and this institution very much, but I do not want to see someone using the rights granted by the people to treat our films according to their own personal preferences. This practice is truly irresponsible.

I hope that everyone here should be like Mr. Hayes, starting from the personal interests of the American people, starting from the essence of art, and from the experience and lessons of human history, treat movies fairly and filmmakers fairly. Don’t act arrogantly. Don’t think you are the master and boss of the filmmakers, and don’t treat filmmakers as slaves. You must know that the rights in your hands are given by the filmmakers and given by the people. The people can give you rights and take them back! At least, thousands of filmmakers in Hollywood think so, and they are also united together. If they may make up any trouble, it will be bad for everyone! My speech is over, thank you everyone!"

I talked endlessly on the stage for more than half an hour, not only did Sister Sando's accusations against me all the movies, but also made her understand at the end that I am not easy to bully, and maybe everyone will break up. Anyway, most filmmakers in Hollywood now have opinions about the Executive Board. Maybe I will sign up and everyone will rebel. Then I will set up an office or petition. I don't believe that the government will be so stupid that it will give up the tens of thousands of taxes it draws from Hollywood every year to support an organization with more than 20 people.

My speech severely hit Sister Sando's arrogance. This old woman, no, is an old virgin, almost fainted when she stood on the stage. She had no way to refute my point of view, and knew that my influence in Hollywood could only be helped down like a toad by the two people below.

Hayes and Grant stood up and took the lead in applauding me. The more than 20 groups of people in the hall sat in the dust and were not moving, and the others were shouting my name loudly, very proud.

Hayes raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Mr. Corleon's words just now made me feel very moved. The Executive Board of Code has not been established for a long time. Mr. Corleon is one of its founders. If he does not support our work, he deliberately made things difficult for us. I am the first one to not believe it. This movie is even better than his first two movies. I think everyone can feel it. So, let's raise your hands to vote now."

Grant stood up and picked up the counting volumes.

"My opinion is that if you do not make any changes to any of the shots in this movie, the movie can be screened directly to the public!" Hayes looked straight at Sister Sandor and others with a firm attitude.

"I agree with Chairman Hayes!" Grant agreed.

"I agree too!"

"I agree!"

...

One by one, I thought about the supportive voices one after another, I looked at it, 17 people

Only Sister Sandor and Donner were left in the screening room.

"Miss Sandor, what do you think?" Grant asked with a smile.

"I stick to my original idea and ban this movie forever!" Nun Sanduo's face did not have a trace of expression, like a stone carving, and remained unmoved in everyone's eyes.

I have sex! This old virgin has sex! I was almost bleak! It seems that what I said just now is in vain!
