China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

Chapter 285 Reprimanding Xiaozhi

"Well, don't worry, I still have some influence in the United States, and I won't be affected by the neon forces. Well, I will do my best for the Oscars~"

After Wu Yuchen hung up the phone, he let out a breath. The leader of a certain department in China had just called him. The general message was that he was concerned about whether his current progress at Oscar was going smoothly, and at the same time, he said that he would do a good job in providing rear support for him, so don't worry about it.

Wu Yuchen also knew that with his "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" receiving so many Oscar nominations, certain forces over there began to jump in, not only through protests by foreign teachers, but also by launching many investment campaigns in China. Capital exerts pressure.

To be honest, if it were a less famous director, he might not be able to withstand these pressures. That is to say, Wu Yuchen's status is relatively high now, and he had invited some big leaders to watch the movie at the domestic premiere a few months ago. With their endorsement, the pressure from all parties has now been withstood. All that came to him were a few words of concern.

Xiaozhi offered to meet with him for an interview, but he ignored it at all. He knew exactly what the other party wanted to do with him, but it was impossible for him to agree, so the meeting was a waste of his time and energy. Wouldn't it be better if he had more time to do public relations?

And recently, he also discovered that some media in the United States have begun to come out to whitewash his little life.

In fact, the way to whitewash oneself in Europe and the United States during childhood was also very simple, that is, to talk about the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the air raid on Tokyo, and describe how miserable those victims are until now. To put it simply, it is to be miserable, to put oneself in the position of the victim, to blur the perspective of being the perpetrator, and to cover up the position of the aggressor.

Not to mention, many people in Europe and the United States really believe this. After all, there are still many people who oppose the existence of the atomic bomb, especially when this rhetoric has persisted for decades. Let Neon win a lot of sympathy.

But now that his life is so exciting, Wu Yuchen will not sit still and wait for death. He just takes this opportunity to add some popularity to his movie again!

The next day, in the exhibition hall of a certain cinema, Wu Yuchen was holding a press conference. All exhibitions in this exhibition hall contain information, photos and other relevant evidence about the various neon concentration camps in China during World War II. They are shown as references attached to The Boy in the Striped Pajamas.

At this time, Wu Yuchen was sitting on the stage accepting interviews from reporters:

"Actually, I didn't originally plan to put these out. But every time I attend exchange events or give interviews, there are always protests from neon people or the media, saying that I am deliberately discrediting them with fabricated history. Okay. , now I will present all the real evidence to prove that everything in my movie is documented and based on facts. I hope I won’t hear any related questions in the future!”

Later, Wu Yuchen introduced a Chinese woman next to him: "This is Ms. Zhang Chunru. She is an expert on neon behavior during World War II. She once published "Nanjing Massacre" and also provided me with information for this exhibition. A lot of help.”

Zhang Chunru was specially invited by Wu Yuchen. He admired her very much in his previous life. She had a good family and life, but she always insisted on going on the road of exposing the neon crimes and speaking out for the Nanjing Massacre in the world. Make a great contribution.

But she also fought alone against harassment from neon right-wing groups for a long time, and finally died in 2004 due to unknown reasons. Although it was announced that she committed suicide, she actually died after disappearing. No one knows what really happened to her.

This time, with Wu Yuchen, a tall man, in front, I believe he can share a lot of the pressure she faces.

At this time, Zhang Chunru also said: "I am honored to be invited by Director Wu Yuchen. In fact, I am creating a new work, which is about the history of the mistreatment of Allied soldiers from various countries after being captured by the Neon military, including some American veterans. I have visited many surviving elderly people, and taking advantage of this exhibition, I will publish all the information collected from my visits and investigations to restore a true history! "

The flash lights in the audience kept clicking, and most Hollywood reporters were not surprised by this. This kind of thing has not been done before by organizing exhibitions during the movie's competition for the Olympics. These exhibitions can better help movie fans learn more about the stories behind the movies.

But some neon people didn't think so. At this time, they heard a neon man shouting: "You are deliberately creating conflicts, creating national hatred, and destroying world peace!"

The reporters present were even happier when they saw someone stirring up trouble. They all took pictures of this person, but more people were paying attention to Wu Yuchen to see how the great director would react to this.

Wu Yuchen looked at the neon man who appeared, and then looked at the many media reporters:

“People who have seen my movies, I think they all know what the theme of my movies is.

In fact, I have many neon friends and people I admire, such as Mr. Ryuichi Sakamoto, the composer of the film, and Mr. Hayao Miyazaki, the director of "Spirited Away" who was nominated for the best animated feature this year.

My intention has never been to stir up conflicts and hatred between ethnic groups. Hatred and contradiction will only bring more disputes, more disputes, and more conflicts, paving the way for the next war. "

Then Wu Yuchen said loudly with a serious expression and sharp eyes:

"I just hope that everyone can face up to this period of history, including the Neon People themselves. Only by facing up to this period of history, facing it with a correct attitude, and accepting it can hatred and contradictions be resolved.

In this regard, I think Neon has not done a good enough job. It ranges from smearing me personally and my movies, to revising their textbooks, distorting the next generation’s understanding of history, and covering up the past. Wrong, the tradition of visiting war criminals shrines has even been maintained for decades. You must know that the blood in the hands of each of those war criminals is no less than Hitler's.

These behaviors make it difficult to believe that Neon has truly reflected on its past acts of aggression and war. They need to have a correct attitude and they should learn from the Germans! "

The neon man in the audience wanted to shout, but was dragged out by the security guard.

Many media have already thought about how to report this matter:

"Wu Yuchen: Neon people are not as good as Germans!" 》

"Wu Yuchen accuses Neon of never facing up to the crimes of World War II"

"Wu Yuchen reveals the hidden truth of World War II, and Neon people are furious!" 》

After this episode, reporters began to ask about recent hot topics:

"Wu, what do you think of the war in Iraq that may break out at any time?"

"Wu, do you think Saddam deserves to die? He also used biological and chemical weapons to harm civilians!"

Faced with this problem, Wu Yuchen had to deal with it carefully. Because the last scene of his movie is the scene where the Neon Man uses biological and chemical weapons against the people in the concentration camp.

This time, one of the major reasons cited by the American commander-in-chief, George W. Bush, was that Saddam used large-scale biological and chemical weapons. To be honest, Saddam really has nothing to do with this. During the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, in order to end the fighting as soon as possible, Saddam ordered the dropping of chemical weapons such as mustard gas and nerve gas on Iran. One hundred thousand people were injured as a result, most of them civilians.

Ironically, many of Iraq's weapons were actually provided by the United States. During the Iran-Iraq war, the United States was a staunch supporter of Iraq. During the eight years of the war, the United States never raised any issue of biological and chemical weapons in the international community. The two sides fell out because of Kuwait, and the Gulf War broke out in 1991. So even if Saddam really has weapons of mass destruction now, these are supplies provided to him by the United States.

This time the United States wants to sanction Saddam because he took the lead in de-dollarizing oil and conducting transactions in euros, which shook the foundation of Lao America's world dominance, so it must be attacked.

Of course, Wu Yuchen cannot talk about these in detail. He is a director and not an expert in military and political analysis. It is not appropriate to talk too much about political rights and wrongs and interests.

The problem we are facing now is that if Wu Yuchen says that Saddam deserves to die, then he is supporting Xiao Bu in launching a war. If he says that Saddam should not die, then he is on the same front as the villain in his movie. So the reporter who asked this question really gave him a difficult problem.

Wu Yuchen thought for a while and said:

"Saddam is Saddam, and you cannot confuse him with the civilians of Iraq. I have always insisted on a point of view that the most harmed by the war will be a large number of civilians. Not one or two, nor 10,000 or 20,000, but Ten or more than 20 million civilians will be directly and indirectly harmed by this.

I do not want the Iraq war to break out. I call on the authorities and people to focus their attention on those civilians as much as possible. They are the real majority, and their voices are the ones that really need to be heard! "

He simply downplayed Saddam and always spoke for them from the perspective of the common people. This is absolutely correct.

After the press conference, the media quickly reported information about the exhibition, which also attracted a large number of movie fans to visit.

Backstage, Zhang Chunru sincerely thanked Wu Yuchen: "Director Wu, thank you very much for this movie. You may not be able to imagine how much help it can bring to us! Your movie has the same effect as The impact is far greater than what we have done in the past many years!”

Normally, if such an exhibition were held in Europe and the United States, it would actually attract very few visitors. Because this is a war crime of neon aggression against China. What does it have to do with us Americans? Many old Americans don't care about this at all. And even among those who come to visit, many of them just take a quick look at it, treating it as an ordinary war, and don't take it seriously, and may forget about it after a while.

But this time is different. Many movie fans came to see this exhibition after watching "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas". They themselves feel sorry for the two cute boys in the film and have their own stand, so in After seeing this exhibition, you will be particularly impressed.

This is also the reason why Zhang Chunru thanked Wu Yuchen.

Wu Yuchen smiled at Zhang Chunru and said: "Ms. Zhang, you are serious. As a son of the Chinese nation, this is what I should do. On the contrary, it is Ms. Zhang who has persisted in speaking out for the Nanjing Massacre for many years and defended the Chinese people. I really admire you for speaking out about unfair treatment!”

The two complimented each other a few words, and then Zhang Chunru reminded Wu Yuchen: "Director Wu, I think the neon right-wing group will definitely continue to sabotage and harass you, so please be mentally prepared."

Wu Yuchen nodded, then smiled and said: "Don't worry, Ms. Zhang, I am bound to win the Oscar this time! Ms. Zhang, if you are still being harassed by unknown people, you can contact me at any time, and I will provide as much help as I can!"

"Thank you, Director Wu!" Zhang Chunru felt that the pressure was greatly reduced when someone like Wu Yuchen appeared in front of her. He had much more energy than her.

Wu Yuchen came prepared this time, and even asked his agency to hire a team of bodyguards, just to prevent extremists from jumping over the wall and having any bad intentions against him.

The right-wing forces in Neon are very angry. They have also thought about what to do to Wu Yuchen, but his reputation and influence are too great. If he really does something, it will have a very bad impact on Neon. But normal means are helpless against Wu Yuchen. After all, their power in Hollywood, without Sony, is really incomparable to Wu Yuchen. He can only curse and curse every day, unable to get angry.

…

"Director Wu, do you think I have high hopes this time?"

The person who was consulting with Wu Yuchen at this time was Gong Li, who rushed to the United States without stopping. She was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" this time, and it was also the first time that someone from China was nominated for the Academy Award for Actor, so she had no reason to care and flew over directly.

Wu Yuchen smiled: "There is definitely hope. It's hard to say whether it's big or not, but it all depends on the person! If you come over and cooperate with the team on public relations, then you will definitely have a big hope. If you don't participate in any activities, then you basically don't have to think about it. Won an award.”

Gong Li also nodded. She was actually no stranger to Oscar.

In 1991, "Ju Dou" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, but unfortunately there was no one on the crew. In 1992, "Raise the Red Lantern" starring Gong Li was once again nominated for Best Foreign Language Film, and she was also invited to attend this awards ceremony. In 1994, she came to the Oscars again, because her starring role in "Farewell My Concubine" was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

To be honest, those few years were really the peak period of Gong Li. She produced masterpieces almost every year and achieved results every year. Europe has received awards all over the world, and Oscar nominations are received every year. However, due to poor public relations, it failed to receive any of the three Best Foreign Language Film nominations.

But now because Wu Yuchen is here, and based on his past achievements and energy, Gong Li feels that she may not be hopeless this time.
