Major portals quickly reprinted this joint statement and placed it on the headlines of the entertainment version; then major media also quickly reprinted it, so the entire public opinion situation quickly reversed.

This statement was naturally forwarded to Tianya, and Maopu and other forums have sparked heated discussions on the Internet.

"That's great, finally a heavyweight came out to speak for the king!"

"Supporting mainland actors is so united and moved. I like Zhang Ran and Zhang Jingchu more and more, and my views are so positive!"

"Support the ban on Zhang Weijian, Nicholas Ting, Wang Jing!! Ban "Little Fish and Hua Wuque"!"

Many netizens in Tianya began to organize signing activities to boycott "Little Fish and Flowers Wuque", and some netizens even began to organize emails to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, call to complain, and demanded that "Little Fish and Flowers Wuque" be banned.

This joint statement also attracted great attention from Xiangjiang. If so many mainland big names come forward to speak, the whole thing really became a conflict between Xiangjiang and the mainland film and television industry.

Although many people in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong look down on the mainland, the Hong Kong film and television industry is now in trouble, and directors and celebrities are looking for a way out. If this incident causes serious confrontation between the mainland and the Hong Kong film and television industry, the consequences will be quite serious.

So, the old artists in Xiangjiang began to speak, including Zeng Zhiwei, Huang Rihua and Xue Jiayan, and many artists said that whether it was accidental or intentional, they should apologize after all. Almost everyone revealed a meaning, hoping that big things would be made small, and that this incident would not ruin the image of Xiangjiang artists and affect the cooperation between the two places.

Wang Jing received a call from the producer, and the General Administration received a large number of complaints, demanding the ban on "Little Fish and Flowers". Now Wang Jin realized that the matter was getting bigger, so he quickly visited Wang Bozhao in the hospital. Not only did he apologize in person, but he also explained his previous actions: "I was too anxious at the time. After something happened, I just wanted to press it down quickly. So after listening to the simple report of the people around me, I did not come to do a careful and in-depth investigation, nor did I come to the hospital to visit my injuries, but said the words at the press conference."

Immediately afterwards, Xu Xiaoming, vice president of the Xiangjiang Performing Arts Association, went north to visit Wang Bozhao in person and gave him condolences. After watching Wang Bozhao, Xu Xiaoming immediately went to the set of Huairou's "Little Fish and Flowers" to find Zhang Weijian and Nicholas Tse, who were filming, to communicate. You two can't mess up the good situation just because of you.

Under pressure from all parties, Zhang Weijian and Nicholas Tse finally went to the hospital to visit Wang Bozhao's injuries and apologized in person.

The next day, the newspaper published a joint statement between Zhang Weijian and Nicholas Tingfeng, officially and publicly apologizing to Wang Bozhao: "I Zhang Weijian and Nicholas Tingfeng are deeply sorry for accidentally hurting Mr. Wang Bozhao in one of the martial arts scenes during the filming of the TV series "Little Fish and Flowers". We hereby declare that we have absolutely no intention of hurting Mr. Wang Bozhao by accident. We are very sad and regretful to the harm caused by Mr. Wang Bozhao. We hope Mr. Wang Bozhao will be considerate. We will express our deep condolences during this Mid-Autumn Festival and wish Mr. Wang Bozhao a happy holiday and a quick recovery."

In the small theater of the Nortel Meter Guide Building, Chen Dao put the newspaper heavily on the chair: "Isn't it over to apologize early? If you insist on making trouble to this level, these people are so arrogant!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "This is a good thing, the bigger the trouble, the better. Now co-production is the general trend. We do need Xiangjiang's film and television talents, especially those in action and special stunts. However, the cultures of the two places are different. In addition, Xiangjiang actors are superior to the crew, there will definitely be friction. This time, such a thing will not be the last time. Taizu said that by struggling for unity, unity will survive; by giving in, unity will perish. This time, even if there is a conflict in the future, it will be restrained!"

Chen Daoming nodded, then looked at Zhang Ran and asked, "I'll ask you something! A few days ago, I read media reports that the American Actors Union put two Hong Kong actors who beat people on the blacklist. You have been in the United States and learned acting. You should be more familiar with the Actors Union's set, right?"

Zhang Ranying said: "The blacklist of the Actors Union should be fake. I have never heard of a blacklist in the Actors Union. Even if they really want to issue a blacklist, they will definitely investigate it. It is impossible to be so fast! However, the Actors Union does have many measures in protecting actors."

Chen Daoming said: "Tell me what are the protection measures for actors in the regulations of the Actors Union!"

Zhang Ran didn't know why Chen Daoming asked about this, but since the other party asked, he briefly explained the various regulations and terms of the Actors Union.

After hearing this, Chen Daoming sighed: "We should learn from others. If we have an actor union, will two actors in Xiangjiang dare to beat people so unscrupulously? Our cultural market is not standardized, especially in the fact that actors take on film and television dramas and protect their own rights and interests. Actors need to have an organization to protect their own rights and interests.

People protect their own things, protect their employment rate, and protect the basic protection of the industry. What they are doing is right. We also have to protect ourselves. Whose mother does not protect their children? Can this child love this mother? Therefore, for their own protection, from our producers, to our management departments, to the directors, if they have this awareness, they will respect you. It is not easy to go to the mainland to make gold. They will not make money, and they will turn around and say you are stupid!"

Zhang Ran shook his head with a wry smile: "This matter cannot be changed in a short period of time. This situation will not only not alleviate in the next few years, but will become more serious!"

Chen Daoming was stunned: "Why is this?"

Zhang Ran said: "In the eyes of many people, especially investors, Hong Kong and Taiwan are superior. There are even many hosts imitating Hong Kong and Taiwan accents and feel fashionable. Investors tend to look for actors. Zhang Yimou's "The Ten-Plane Ambush", Feng Xiaogang's "The World Without Thieves", and Chen Kaige's "The Promise" are almost all Hong Kong and Taiwan actors.

More importantly, now the Hong Kong and Taiwan teams are heading north, and co-production has become the mainstream, and investment has hit Hong Kong and Taiwan directors. People in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles have always been very good at grouping together. They basically use Hong Kong and Taiwan actors. Actresses are better, because co-production requires mainland leading actors, and they will use mainland actresses, but male actors are miserable. Mainland actors like Chen Kun and Liu Ye have no chance to make a comeback and can only match Hong Kong and Taiwan actors. In the next few years, mainland young people will have a hard time!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Ran looked at the students rehearsing on the stage and sighed slightly: "Chen Kun and the others have become famous at least, and they can at least play supporting roles in movies. Jia Niaoliang and his group of actors from 1980s to 1985 are the worst. They don't get any chance, and they can't even play supporting roles!"

Chen Daoming slapped the handle of the chair with a palm, making a "bang" sound: "Why? This is not normal. If you shoot movies in Hollywood, the United States, and if you don't join the union, you won't let you shoot movies. Why do you let you shoot? Where did you come from? Others can have such a system, why can't we have it? When the CPPCC meets next year, I will propose a proposal to establish an actor union, implement an industry access system, and protect the interests of mainland actors."

Zhang Ran remembers that later, the Actors Union seemed to be established in China, but this Actors Union was completely empty and had no effect on the protection of actors: "The situation in China is different from that in the United States. The Actors Union in the United States has great power. No matter how big a superstar is, as long as it is fired by the union, they can only act in non-union movies. Non-union movies are basically small movies worth tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and their future in Hollywood is over. Our situation is completely different. Even if we become a union, we do not have substantial rights and will not play any role."

Chen Daoming doesn't think so: "I know I can't change it, because it involves institutional issues. My proposal can only be said to be a call to make everyone pay attention to this matter."

Zhang Ran nodded and said, "We do need someone to speak out, and someone as respected as you needs to stand up and speak out!"

Chen Daoming looked at Zhang Ran and said, "It doesn't work just because I shout, but you directors must use more mainland actors. We don't even praise our own people, why should the director of Xiangjiang praise you!"

Zhang Ran laughed and said, "I filmed "Three Fools" just to support the students in our class. I have taught them for four years, hoping that their future path will be easier. Moreover, our Beijing Film Academy has recently been preparing to join forces with universities in Japan and South Korea to concentrate on three advantages to train commercial film directors. I believe this situation will improve in four or five years!"

Chen Daoming said with emotion: "The future can only be achieved by you young people. You have ideas and more courage than us. This is great!"

After chatting for a few words, Zhang Ran said to Chen Daoming: "Teacher Chen, are you free at night? Our class will watch a group movie tonight. If you have time, go with us!"

Chen Daoming said in surprise: "What movie? It's not "The Ambush on Ten"?"

Zhang Ran smiled and waved his hand: "I filmed "The Aviator". The US publisher hopes that "The Aviator" will represent China in the competition for Oscar foreign language films, so that it can get good publicity. Participating in the competition at Oscars must be commercially screened in the cinemas in their country before October 1. The release date of "The Aviator" is December 16. In order to participate in the Aviator, we found a cinema for a seven-day preview. Today is the last day!"

Chen Daoming laughed when he heard "The Aviator": "The domestic media have praised your movie to heaven, I just happened to see if it's that good!"

The incident of Wang Bozhao being beaten was concluded because the two beatingers apologized. Nicholas Tse has been cleared of relationships with Ying and Huang, and Wang Bozhao himself has no big objection to Nicholas Tse and has not been greatly affected. Zhang Weijian was tragic, and what awaited him was a two-year ban. For a popular actor, two-year ban means that his career was ruined.

This is the price of arrogance!

However, this incident made Zhang Ran realize that the plan of the Asian Film Academy is correct and that it must vigorously train mainland actors and directors. He was the enemy in his own land and was discriminated against by foreign actors. It was an international joke to tell it! During the entire National Day, Zhang Ran did not go out and stayed at home to write the plan of the Asian Film Academy.

On October 4, the Oscar officially announced the selection list of best foreign language films at the 77th Academy Awards. The works representing the mainland's Olympics are not "The Aviator", which is highly praised, but "The Ambush on Ten"!

The media was in an uproar, thinking that the General Administration was crazy about gaining and losing his mind. "The Ten-Ambushes" had such a bad reputation and was actually sent to participate in the Oscars. Are you a fool to be an Oscar judge? Isn't this a shame for Chinese movies?

Zhang Ran was a little regretful, but he could understand why the General Administration did this. Zhang Yimou had a qualification there and had been nominations for three times in the Olympian foreign country. Although "The Ambush" has a bad reputation in China, it has a high overseas evaluation. The General Administration must be inclined to "The Ambush".

However, three days later, Zhang Ran received some comfort from the nomination list announced at the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards. "The Aviator" won eleven nominations including Best Drama, Director, and Leading Character, becoming the biggest winner of the nomination list of this year's Golden Horse Awards, with a glory.
