Chapter 323 Film Editing Society
Although Shen Lang's new assistant always looked at him leisurely with sad eyes.
But I have to say that Wang Yanni is a good assistant with ideas and action.
It’s so much better than just dealing with this guy Xiaozhu.
Shen Lang turned the laptop screen towards himself and looked at the article Wang Yanni had just finished writing.
"Some experts and media always like to comment on various industries in China from a condescending attitude."
"They claim to be the best in a particular professional field, with profound knowledge and their words are decisive, but the remarks they make are extremely bizarre and out of line, repeatedly breaking the basic consensus and cognitive bottom line of the Chinese people."
"In the eyes of these people, there are problems everywhere in the country and the industry is about to collapse."
"Foreign countries are our ancestors. Everything is more advanced than ours. Whenever we make some achievements, they always pretend to ignore them. Even if they know about them, they still think that foreign products are the best! We just don't deserve to succeed!"
"Some experts have suggested legislation to ban New Year's Eve dinners!"
"Some experts suggest canceling China's totem dragon because it is not as powerful as the dragons from other countries!"
"Some experts suggest that low-income people can rent out their spare rooms or use their cars to do some work to increase their income!"
……
"Some experts think that China's film industry is not as good as that of South Korea. Actors like Shen Lang go abroad because they want to pursue a higher platform!"
……
"Is that really what happened?"
“Is it possible that foreigners are begging our domestic actors to go abroad to film?”
“Is it possible that domestic film companies, holding good scripts, want to expand into the international market?”
"Is it possible that the post-production of domestic films is something that the Koreans simply cannot forget?"
"Without investigation, there is no right to speak. I sincerely hope that some experts and media will stop using the banner of compassion to discredit themselves and boost the prestige of others!"
"What era is it now? Are you still kneeling?"
……
Seeing this, Shen Lang nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, send it directly!"
Wang Yanni let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Boss Shen, can I go home now that I've finished sending this?"
"Sure, sure!" Shen Lang took out the car keys, "Do you want me to take you there?"
Wang Yanni was numb: "No, let's not do it, I'm afraid..."
"Ahahaha, fine then, I'll reimburse you for the taxi fare and midnight snack!"
"Midnight snack?" The sleepy little piglet twitched his nose and opened his sleepy eyes to ask, "Brother Lang, do you have a midnight snack?"
Shen Lang's face turned dark when he heard this. Damn it, if it wasn't for Pei Pei... humph!
The next morning, Shen Lang’s Weibo posted an article that Wang Yanni had written overnight.
As soon as this article came out, it caused a huge uproar.
Netizens were shocked.
"Well said! Teacher Shen has always been a person who likes to tell the truth!"
"That's great. The guy who suggested working on New Year's Eve, come out! Look at my vinegar-jar-sized fist!"
"I am already a low-income group, where do I get the spare house and private car? Fuck, isn't this the modern version of "Why don't you eat meat?"
"So Train to Busan was produced in our country? Now that you mention it, I'm quite looking forward to it! The post-production of the film was also produced in our country? The post-production of our films is not that good, is Shen Lang exaggerating on this point?"
……
[Shen Lang's Weibo article] is really harsh. Now the voices in China are unanimously criticizing the so-called experts and public intellectuals. Wang Yanni's examples can easily make readers' first impression, automatically putting Sohu Entertainment and other media into the ranks of [experts].
However, Wu Qing, editor-in-chief of Sohu Entertainment, is not in a hurry about this.
He reviewed this article.
Although the people under my command included some of their own personal thoughts when writing this article.
For example, recognition of the achievements of the South Korean film industry.
But generally speaking, this article is fine.
The domestic film and television industry is indeed developing, but it is undeniable that there are also a lot of bad movies.
Didn’t you, Shen Lang, comment on some crappy capitalist movies like “Mountains Have Water but No Heart” a while ago?
In the 1990s, with the decline of Hong Kong films, the only country in East Asia that was still thriving was South Korea, and this was witnessed by the whole world.
Although my editor has some intention of boosting others' morale and destroying his own prestige, he did not lie!
Also, you said that China’s film post-production is better than South Korea’s?
Is this a joke?
Everyone in the industry knows that South Korea’s film post-production is at least second to none in Asia; even Chicken with a Feet cannot compare to it.
Our China?
forget it!
It’s not that I, Wu Qing, look down on those people doing post-production in China, they are extremely bad.
From the imperial capital to the magic capital, all post-production studios are accepting orders for 50-cent special effects movies and junk cartoons for infants and young children.
The screen is either filled with red, green and yellow rays, or the mechanical opening and closing of an animated cartoon talking.
Is this called the late stage?
You'll be laughed at if you tell others, right?
Are you Shen Lang also bragging?
Aren't you inciting public sentiment?
"Yes, they stirred up the audience's emotions and blindly praised our country's films, but in the end, the ones they produced were a mess. This is another heavy blow to our Chinese film and television industry!"
When Wu Qing thought of this, he was planning to write an article to hit back at Shen Lang, but then he changed his mind and thought that he was an entertainment media after all, so what he said naturally had little credibility!
"Find a professional to refute Shen Lang's words! We can do an interview!"
Soon, Wu Qing contacted Zhou Xia, the president of the China Film Editing Society.
When Wu Qing saw Zhou Xia, he told her the whole story.
After hearing what Wu Qing had expected, Zhou Xia frowned.
"President Zhou, you are a professional and you know more about the development of film post-production than I do. Can our country's current development in this area catch up with the United States and the United States?"
Zhou Xia did not deny it immediately, but thought for a long time before she said sincerely: "Our society is a platform for all film and television editing workers in China to exchange creative experience. We have also held many seminars on film editing outside China."
"Among them, South Korea and the United States are the countries we invite the most foreign personnel."
“It can be said that there is still a big gap between the editing work in China and those in these two countries!”
"For example, the Golden Rooster Awards' editing awards, although on the surface many of them were won by Chinese teams, in fact, a lot of work was done by foreign studios and companies behind the scenes!"
"Do you understand what I mean?" Zhou Xia asked Wu Qing.
This is very easy to understand.
Zhou Xia used roundabout words to explain a cruel fact.
Our country is really not good in this regard...
Wu Qing nodded: "President Zhou, do you think Shen Lang's behavior of ignoring facts, promoting himself, and inciting the public to be blindly arrogant is right or wrong?"
Zhou Xia heard this and said meaningfully: "Shen Lang's starting point is good, but I think the reason why our country can be so prosperous today is because we know shame and then courage!"
“Knowing where you are behind and then striving to catch up is the correct outlook on life and values!”
