A different director [entertainment circle]

It turned out that the "Qin Culture Research Society" was the first to attack Qin Yan. They directly published an article on the Internet titled "Adaptation is not random compilation, joking is not nonsense - a small review of "Hundred Schools"", directly pointing out that Qin Yan Various mistakes made in "Hundred Schools".

"There are too many mistakes in the historical research of Qin in the movie. First of all, it is language...and Qin Shihuang's character...and eating habits..."

"Since Qin Yan named the movie "Hundred Schools", he should be responsible for its historical accuracy."

"Among the various classics, the two characters 'Gongshuzi' and 'Shuihuaisang' do not exist in the Mohist school, and they are obviously completely fabricated characters by Qin Yan."

"Forcibly creating two fictional characters and adding some stories that do not exist in history and cannot be verified is a random rewriting of history."

"As the top director in the country, Qin Yan can't just think about making money. He should shoulder his own social responsibilities and know how much his words and deeds will affect the whole society."

"Now "Hundred Schools" is indeed very popular. It is said that there have been tens of millions of viewers. Do you know what this concept is? Every hundred people have accepted these wrong historical information! This is for the A misinterpretation of our thousands of years of history and civilization!"

"Here I appeal to every Chinese person to resist such nonsense movies. Do you want your children to forget our most brilliant history in the future? Do you want other countries to misinterpret our history in the future?"

"Boycott "Hundred Schools" is everyone's responsibility."

"Moreover, I hope that Director Qin Yan will have the consciousness of a public figure, publicly apologize and clarify as soon as possible, and don't let the mistakes continue."

In the article of "Qin Culture Research Society", Qin Yan was described as a opportunistic person who used history as a gimmick, disrespected historical facts, and made random adaptations.

This is not an academic discussion, this is clearly a call to arms, and it is short of putting the hats of "Qin Yan's old thief", "national/ethnic traitor", and "cultural tamperer" on Qin Yan's head!

And this is just the beginning. Next, various academic organizations such as the "Confucian Culture Research Society" and the "Pre-Qin Legalist Thought Research Society" all stood up and condemned Qin Yan in various aspects.

""Hundred Schools" is the biggest misreading of Confucian culture!"

"The Legalist Rule of Law and the Contemporary Rule of Law"

"Qin Yan should apologize immediately!"

These research associations of various schools of thought demonstrate the error and vulgarity of "Hundred Schools" from various angles.

The most mainstream rebuttal is that the heirs of the Hundred Schools of Schools are absolutely impossible to live in mediocrity like in "Prosperity", and they will definitely join the Mohists in resisting Qin Shihuang's tyranny/government.

There are more and more reports of Qin Yan's criticism, and even several provincial news media have written articles to criticize.

These societies do not have a good reputation on the Internet, but they can publish their articles in newspapers and periodicals at all levels in the country.

It is true that the Internet media has developed rapidly in recent years, but the number of paper newspapers and periodicals is still close to 2000, holding the absolute right to speak in society.Subconsciously, everyone seems to think that paper newspapers are more reliable.

After the online platform indicated that these articles were reprinted from "Literature Monthly", "Cultural Studies", "Huaguo Culture" and some sounding serious and authoritative newspapers, a torrent of public opinion soon formed.

In fact, many fans of Qin Yan felt that their criticisms were exaggerated and sharp, but after investigating these seminars, they found that they were actually backed up by relevant institutions.

Later, even scholars and professors from some universities came out to stand on the platform one after another, as if they wanted to stand up for justice and uphold justice.

The final conclusion is that "as a historical film, we must bear the responsibility of spreading history, and we must not let others misunderstand the history of China."

In the field of Chinese studies and traditional culture, these experts hold the absolute right to speak, so many parents and passers-by began to wait and see "Hundred Schools".

For parents, what is more important than the education of their children?As long as this matter has something to do with education, everything starts to deteriorate.

"Hundred Schools" is like a scourge, which will make their children's Chinese academic performance plummet.

This war of public opinion is indeed fanned by Jiang Deshan. It is definitely useless to evaluate "Hundred Schools" based on the quality of the film, so Jiang Deshan tried to exaggerate the nature of "Hundred Schools" and then used dimensionality reduction to attack.

Jiang Deshan did spend a lot of money to invite some so-called experts and scholars to speak out, but later more and more people took the initiative to join this debate.

Because this is a mutually beneficial thing!

In the field of culture, mastering the discourse power of evaluation means mastering the source of wealth.If they can successfully smear "Hundred Schools" from a cultural point of view this time, if there are any related works of art in the future, no matter music, games, or animation, they will have to pay homage to them and pay protection fees.

This is a very profitable thing, that's why the public opinion is like an avalanche, and people continue to stand up and criticize Qin Yan with righteous words.

Of course, this is also related to the characteristics of Qin Yan's "Hundred Schools". After watching the movie, many viewers have a vague feeling that many traditional concepts have been broken in an instant.

The entire society has become more and more heated about the boundaries of film content and adaptation. It is not an exaggeration to say that this has surpassed the attention that a film should deserve, and has shifted towards the cultural issues of the entire society.

There are now two clear-cut views in online discussions.

One faction believes that movies related to history should completely follow the historical facts, which are close to the strict requirements of fundamental/religion/purpose/ism, and strive to restore and respect.

The other row of voices said that movies are entertainment works, so there is no need to be too strict with it.

For the time being, the two factions on the Internet seem to be divided, and no one can do anything to the other.It seems that as long as Qin Yan chooses to obey the second statement, he can break free from the swamp of public opinion.

But Qin Yan, who is keen, has long seen that there are actually traps on both sides. .

Does Qin Yan dare to directly admit that his plot is a random adaptation?As long as he admits this sentence, "Hundred Schools" will immediately be at a disadvantage on the cultural front.

And does Qin Yan dare to admit that movies are just entertainment, and have nothing to do with art, history, or culture?He didn't dare either.Qin Yan was sure that the other party would attack him with the idea of ​​"entertainment of movies".

In fact, these two points of view are traps set by Jiang Deshan for Qin Yan, and it has to be admitted that Jiang Deshan is really good at manipulating public opinion.

Many times it seems that you are given options A and B, but in fact both options are wrong answers.

Not only Qin Yan, but also many people have seen through Jiang Deshan's thoughts. After all, there are many smart people in this circle.

Everyone was lamenting that Jiang Deshan really worked hard this time, and wanted to fight Qin Yan to the death.

At the same time, everyone knew that this was Jiang Deshan's last attack, because the scope of his attack this time was too wide.

Originally, the film industry quietly made movies to make money, but it insisted on using cultural standards to measure movies.

If Qin Yan can't find a way to break the situation, not only "Hundred Schools", I am afraid that in the future, all films with traditional cultural themes will have to carefully consider whether they will encounter similar criticism.

It can be said that Jiang Deshan's actions have opened a door of reporting and incitement, behind which there is only an endless abyss.

It can only be said that Jiang Deshan is really trying his best to "death" Qin Yan, he will definitely be infamous for a long time, but Qin Yan, as the other party, will definitely be affected by Chi Yu.

"Without Qin Yan and "Hundred Schools", none of these bad things would have happened."

Fortunately, Qin Yan had already made preparations, and he didn't have any timidity in the face of the menacing public opinion on the Internet.

It's not because Qin Yan guessed that Jiang Deshan would use such a sinister plan, but because "Hundred Schools" has undertaken Qin Yan's ambition to surpass the movie itself from the very beginning.

From a certain point of view, Qin Yan has to thank Jiang Deshan for making the topic of "film and culture" known to everyone, and he does not need to direct and act to promote the ferment of public opinion.

After two or three days of verbal and written criticism of Qin Yan on the Internet, a well-known film media showed up and published an article saying:

"As far as I can tell from the heart, is the movie "Hundred Schools" good or bad for Huaguo culture?"

From the very beginning, the article stated frankly that ""Hundred Schools" does have many facts that do not conform to the facts, but its cultural core is not excessively distorted."

"Director Qin Yan has a concept that I particularly agree with—any movie should have its own precise goal and overall body, and no movie can be liked by everyone in the world."

"That's the question. Besides making money, "Hundred Schools" has its own goals. I think it does. Director Qin wants to make more people fall in love with Huaguo's culture."

"What is cultural self-confidence and cultural export? It's not that we force 'culture' into other people's mouths, and then force them to swallow these things."

"This kind of behavior will only bring about the rebellious psychology of others. The real cultural propaganda should make the other party happy and flock to it."

"Whether "Hundred Schools" can achieve this goal, I don't think any of our viewers or experts can directly make judgments, we should see how the entire market reacts."

Because of the concept put forward in this article, everyone began to think about what the purpose of Qin Yan and "Hundred Schools" is, and at this time Qin Yan posted a Weibo at the right time——

Qin Yan: I hope that the whole world can fall in love with the history of China through "Hundred Schools", and then learn about it step by step.

This is what many cultural workers have said, so after Qin Yan posted Weibo, no one thought he was arrogant, but began to think seriously and focus on reality.

Experts and scholars said that ""Hundred Schools" will give children a wrong view of history", but after watching the movie with their children, the children will keep asking "what is the Mohism", "who is Qin Shihuang", "what is the burning Books pit Confucianism"...

Older children will not think that Qin Shihuang can really go to heaven and earth and deduce the future, and will not form a wrong cognitive view.

As for the younger children, they believe that the Monkey King will fall for thousands of miles, and believe that the white lady is in love with Xu Xian, so what if they have illusions about the ancient history of China?

The only thing that is certain is that the audience has become interested in the ancient history of Huaguo and various schools of thought, at least they will not reject them.

There are also professionals who have given a lot of relevant data, such as the audience's attitude and emotional changes after watching "Hundred Schools"; cognitive structure deviations and so on.

You said "Hundred Schools" will make people lose faith in history, on the contrary, it will make people more curious; you said that changes will make culture lose its sanctity, on the contrary, it will only make the audience feel proud...

These evidences are all data that can be repeated experiments, which are placed in front of the public and cannot be refuted.In 2015, when discussing issues, we don’t pay attention to evidence, but also resort to authority. It’s over early in the morning!

In addition to the domestic market reaction, the same is true for the international market.

The box office results of "Hundred Houses" are enough to prove all this, and it is trying hard to challenge the records set by "Fortress Earth".

Maybe the challenge may not be successful, but it is enough to make people excited!The nature of the two films is not the same! "Hundreds of Schools" is the most successful overseas Chinese film.

Of course, some people will find fault with the egg, saying that Qin Yan is discrediting Chinese culture to please overseas markets.

Naturally, there is a large amount of evidence to refute it. In the past half month, searches and discussions on terms such as "Hua Guo", "Hua Culture", "Hundred Schools", "Qin Shihuang" and other words on various websites around the world have skyrocketed!

Moreover, related searches are all positive and active discussions, and many people are praising seeing a completely different Huaguo.

It can be clearly seen that foreign netizens are becoming more and more interested in Huaguo because of "Hundred Schools", and have a more comprehensive understanding of Huaguo.

No longer a backward country with pigtails, bound feet and everyone using 'kungfu'.

"How the culture of the Sun Country is exported to the world, isn't it just relying on animation works that are liked by the market?"

"The films of the Lighthouse Country also gain the right to speak in the world by virtue of their brilliance and popularity."

Those works that keep saying they are promoting culture, how much contribution have they made to the spread of culture?Qin Yan didn't answer this question, he chose to let the audience think for themselves.

Qin Yan's answer obviously jumped out of the two choices given by the public opinion on the Internet - if you want to discuss whether my movie is good or bad, use the actual results to answer this question.

Of course, Jiang Deshan, who hides behind and manipulates everything, will not give up easily, he has "gambled" on his future.He is constantly manipulating public opinion from behind, like a beast driven to a desperate situation, and has completely lost its mind.

There are new slanderous reports every day, such as which academic point of view in the movie is wrong again; the clothing styles in ancient times were wrongly designed; what should be the living habits of ancient people...

"In the final analysis, Qin Yan chose these opportunistic methods because he lacked self-confidence. If he really has the ability to directly conquer foreign audiences, then I would say he is great."

"These crooked ways will not go far after all."

"You said you￥%#￥, you should find a good director."

The debate on the Internet has not stopped.

Although Qin Yan had tried his best to pay attention to the historical facts and restore the history during the filming process.After all, this is just a movie, and it is still a 3D modern commercial movie, which requires certain modifications.

The truth of history has become mottled in the long river of time, how can it restore history [-]%.If it is completely faithful to historical materials, the effect of "Hundred Schools" will definitely not be as good as it is now.

However, all Qin Yan's hard-thinking choices are considered unforgivable sins by some media.

In fact, Qin Yan intentionally left some places for people to attack in the movie, just to make the discussion more intense this time.

How can you lure a snake out of its hole if it's impenetrable from the start?

Because "Hundred Schools" has already involved issues such as traditional culture and cultural self-confidence, the scope of discussion is wider than everyone expected, and even many scholars have started discussions from a professional perspective.

Shangda Tianting can describe the current situation of "Hundred Schools" very well.

However, after two reports came out, they directly decided the world!

The first is the social section of "Gong/Min Daily", which published a commentary titled "What the People Love to See".

"The great Prime Minister once said: The people like it, but you don't like it, how old are you?"

"Art should never be put on the shelf. Why do young people dislike many traditional arts over the years? The reason is very simple, because many people have forgotten that art and culture are for the broadest masses of the people."

"Art is definitely not what a few people say it should be, it is what it is!"

“We must keep this point in mind in our artistic creation—art is nothing without the masses.”

Another article is a joint letter from several domestic academic leaders-"Some Suggestions on Art Work".

"How can art ensure its vitality? We old guys often discuss this issue in private. The academic research in our country has reached the point of being picky and striving for perfection. However, a real problem we face is what we have researched. Except for academic workers, no one is willing to understand."

"How to bring our history back to life, this is a question we have been thinking about. We have also tried... The effect has not been satisfactory."

"But we didn't give up, we were always looking for more possibilities."

"When the movie "Hundred Schools" was filmed, we had already discussed various futures with Director Qin Yan. We prefer to regard "Hundred Schools" this time as an attempt."

"If we put a modern coat on the spiritual core of our traditional culture, can it conquer the young people in our country and the whole world?"

"If you want to bring traditional culture back to life, you have to make people like them first!"

These few scholars are not "experts" that Jiang Deshan spent money on, they are all master-level figures in their respective research fields, and they have absolutely authored works.

After seeing these two articles, the audience suddenly realized that "Hundred Schools" was created with a purpose beyond the movie itself from the very beginning.

Of course, the final convincing evidence for everyone is that three weeks after the film was released, "Hundred Schools: Prosperity" has officially become No.2 at the summer box office!

The war of public opinion on the Internet is finally settled, and no one will go against the official and academic circles.Isn't this courting death?

As for Jiang Deshan?Qin Yan didn't care about his reaction at all, Jiang Deshan was never the goal of his plan, at most it was a piece of wood to support the combustion.

"Still reading the comments on the Internet?" Xie Beiyang put the coffee cup in front of Qin Yan, put his hands on Qin Yan's shoulders casually, and helped Qin Yan relax his rock-hard muscles.

Qin Yan grabbed Xie Beiyang with both hands, hugged Xie Beiyang into his arms, and said with a smile, "I'm not [-]% sure this time either."

"I always believed that you could succeed."

Xie Beiyang leaned over and kissed Qin Yan's forehead, comforting his boyfriend.No one knows better than him how exaggerated the pressure Qin Yan is under.

If Qin Yan is willing to change the background and name of the movie, the box office performance will not be affected in any way, but it will definitely reduce a lot of doubts.

But Qin Yan still chose the most difficult path.Xie Beiyang asked Qin Yan why he did this, and Qin Yan's answer at that time was:

"In fact, film and television works have boundaries. The big difference between commercial films and literary films is that the latter is always trying to break the film's justification."

"I want to see if I can confuse the market a little more. Don't you think it's interesting?"

Although Qin Yan was joking about this matter, Xie Beiyang understood Qin Yan's unspoken ambition—in the commercial film market in Huaguo, everyone is used to lying down to make money, and few people try to make money. same thing.

However, such a conservative style is not suitable for the development of Huaguo Film Industry, let alone confronting international films.

If there is no one else to do this, then let me, Qin Yan, do it.Let me blaze a trail that no one has traveled before you try to catch me.

Xie Beiyang thinks that he may not have the courage to open up the world like Qin Yan, but he can choose to stand beside Qin Yan and work hard together, and he will be honored!

Within a few days, Qin Yan received news from the relevant department that it was said that the relevant organization was considering further relaxing the standards for reviewing film and television works.

However, this matter still needs to be discussed in a meeting.

At the same time, the domestic capital market still maintains a wait-and-see attitude. They are not sure whether the success of "Prosperity" is a coincidence.

Qin Yan knew that if he wanted to accomplish his goal, he was still short of a fire, a fire that was enough to make himself a god, and a fire that was enough to make everyone surrender!

August 8th!It was the day of Qin Yan's arson!
