Chapter 302: Summer insects cannot speak of ice
The original "Life is Beautiful" is an Italian film.
It is said that in a small town in Italy, the male protagonist is a waiter in a restaurant and falls in love with a rich woman. He has a humorous nature and interesting behavior, which wins her favor. The woman ignores the opposition of her family, marries him and has children, and the marriage is happy.
As a result, the good times did not last long. The male protagonist was a Jew. The Nazis took him and his children into a concentration camp, and the female protagonist also took the initiative to enter the concentration camp.
In order to prevent the child''s innocent soul from being hurt, the male protagonist lied and said it was a game and made up a set of game rules, such as no crying, no looking for the mother, no noisy eating snacks...
You can get points every day, and if you get 1,000 points, you will get a tank as a prize.
He has been doing his best to protect his children.
Then on the eve of liberation, he was killed by the Nazis, but his children and wife survived.
This film won the Oscar for Best Actor, Best Foreign Language Film, the Cannes Grand Jury Prize and many other awards. In addition to its excellent quality, everyone can understand the Jewish elements in it, which is also the reason why it is loved by Europe and the United States.
"Life is Beautiful" was born in 1997, and "Schindler''s List" was born in 1993.
In the 1990s, Jews basically completed their control of the American media and spread the image of "I am the victim and the whole world owes us." Think about when did China see this?
Most of them started in the 1990s. Readers and Yilin, some wonderful little stories often appeared.
For example, in every Jewish family, the mother will drop honey on the books and let the children lick them. This is to tell the children that the books are as sweet as honey to show that the Jews are smart and wise and love to read...
But this is the early 80s!
The Soviet Union just held a major military exercise last year, and the Black Panther Party in the United States just disbanded this year, and the Jewish tentacles have not yet reached that long.
In fact, if we really look at it, "Life is Beautiful" is better in setting and shaping, and the details are full of loopholes: the concentration camps are clean, the cells are clean, the people have sound limbs, they are not tortured, and there are no infectious diseases. …
Moreover, the male protagonist was able to play a symphony in the concentration camp and use a loudspeaker to broadcast it, without any punishment afterwards.
How is this possible?
But if these are pursued, the movie will not stand because it conflicts with the setting. The setting of "Life is Beautiful" is expressed in comedy, and the brutality of the Nazis is described in profile.
The only frontal shot is when the male protagonist sees a mountain of corpses.
This version of "Life is Beautiful" written by Chen Qi sets the background in Shanghai, turns the Jews into Chinese, and turns the Nazis into Japanese devils. At the same time, the wife''s role is increased, and the couple protects the child together.
He could imagine the impact this script had on some old comrades.
…
"Okay, everyone is here, let''s have a meeting!"
Chen Huangmei chaired the meeting and said: "Today we are still discussing the script of "Life Is Beautiful". We had a heated debate before and everyone expressed their opinions. Now that the creator is back, we all want to hear the thoughts of those involved.
Xiao Chen, would you like to talk first? "
"I just came back yesterday and was not fully prepared. I want to listen to the opinions of experts first." Chen Qidao.
"Okay, let''s talk about it first."
“…”
After a short silence, a theorist whom Chen Qi didn''t know adjusted his glasses and said: "First of all, the characters in this script are meticulously portrayed, the details are in place, and the emotional rendering is very strong, which is very good.
But the tone seems biased. I don’t understand what kind of mentality it is to use the form of a game to describe life in a concentration camp. So unserious!
Everyone knows that the concentration camp is where the Japanese imprisoned prisoners of war and martyrs of our party. The blood of the martyrs flows. It should be taken seriously, let alone be lighthearted and humorous. It lacks basic solemnity and a sense of historical responsibility. "I agree with this point of view!" "
Immediately, another person echoed: "In recent years, there has been a trend of making entertainment films in the domestic film industry. Film studios have increased their investment in martial arts films. Take a look at our first quarter works, what about "The Invincible Mandarin Duck Legs"? "Kyoto Ballers" sold a lot of copies, but what contribution did it make to art?
Comrade Chen Qi, I am not targeting you!
Everyone recognizes the achievements of "Tai Chi" in earning foreign exchange from exports, but I think entertainment films are entertainment films, and serious films are serious films. You must not shoot serious films with the attitude of entertainment films! "
"Hey, that''s right!"
This statement elicited a response.
Both of them were clearly opposed to Chen Qi, and some supported Chen Qi, but even if they supported it, they felt that "Life is Beautiful" was too frivolous, and they put it more euphemistically.
"I have watched it several times. I think the first half is relaxed, natural, and full of life. It is very good and can be made into a separate movie. It tells how the male and female protagonists fall in love, get married and have children, and then the Japanese army invades and the family is separated in the turmoil. , finally reunited after all the ups and downs, it must be a good movie.”
"If you have to add the second half, you can do it. One of the male and female protagonists is an underground party. He was tortured bravely and unyielding, and was eventually killed. However, he successfully passed on the information. You can see how many of them can express the sacrificial spirit of our martyrs!"
""The Eternal Wave"!"
"Hey, that''s right, this is the movie I was thinking about!"
"We have made countless Anti-Japanese War films, and they must be serious."
In short, there were two opinions at the scene, one was clearly against it, and the other was hoping to revise it and add a paragraph about heroic sacrifice.
At this moment, another voice suddenly emerged, saying: "Comrade Xiao Chen''s mission is to earn foreign exchange through exports, which means that his films must be sent out. Our anti-war films have always been screened domestically, or in the socialist camp spread.
If it were to be sent to Europe for an exhibition or something like that, would it be inappropriate for the Western world to see it and for the Japanese to see it?
After all, what if Sino-Japanese friendship is now being advocated and affects international relations? "
The man paused and emphasized: "Don''t misinterpret my meaning. I just want to say that it might not be a good idea to send this kind of film out for exhibitions."
“…”
Chen Huangmei listened silently and looked at Chen Qi''s reaction from time to time. He actually wanted to hear the other party''s own explanation. After all, just reading the script was still a bit one-sided.
Chen Qi stared at the person who just spoke.
The opposition of old comrades is at best due to ideological limitations. It is nonsense to say that Sino-Japanese friendship will affect relations. And this person doesn''t dare to say it openly and keeps it secretive.
He was a little helpless.
It is difficult to change people''s thoughts, especially this kind of old comrade. He feels that even if he explains, these people may not understand.
But he still wanted to give it a try, thought about it for a while, and said: "I already understand your opinions. Let me talk about my original intention of creating and the positive significance that "Life is Beautiful" may bring to us internationally..."
(No more!)
