Chapter 613 twists and turns
The National Broadcasting Equipment Expo in Las Vegas is one of the most prestigious exhibitions in the electronic media industry. It attracts more than 10,000 professional visitors from more than 16o countries and regions around the world every year, becoming a platform for many 16o equipment manufacturers to display the latest products and application technologies of the electronic media industry.
At this time, a booth in the northwest corner of the exhibition hall was particularly hot, and the waiting team in front of the booth stretched for nearly a hundred meters, and this was the red-one booth.
Last year, when Red Company launched the idea of launching Red-one at the expo, there were only drawings and requested reservations, which were considered a liar by many people. This year, Red Company not only brought a prototype, but also 4k movie clips shot by Zhang Ran with red-one. As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused a sensation at the expo, attracting countless people to watch it.
At this moment, the large screen of the booth is playing a clip of "Tangshan Earthquake", which is a scene when the earthquake comes. In the large screen, the house is collapsing, and everything is extremely clear in the 4k high-definition picture, and even the falling sand is clearly visible.
Zhang Ran was talking to the famous director Steven Soderbergh in a corner of the booth. Zhang Ran promised Red Company that he would bring movie clips to the expo platform, which is also a rare opportunity for "Tangshan Earthquake". Soderbergh came to find out after hearing that there were 4k cameras at the exhibition.
Zhang Ran told in detail about his feelings about using red-one, and finally concluded: "The picture we got is very good, with no particles at all, and it has three-dimensional mass. I feel like I can penetrate deep into the silver screen, because the depth of the picture is really unbelievable, and I am really conquered by this machine."
Soderberg stared at the picture of "Tangshan Earthquake" and exclaimed: "This picture has the quality of 65mm film, which is incredible. How is this machine used?"
Zhang Ran pondered and said, "There are many accessories, which takes some time to adapt. The heat dissipation is poor, and the temperature is high and it is easy to crash. However, it is enough to put an ice bag on the body. Other aspects are very good. It is lighter than a film machine. You don't need to change the film. What's more important is that you can see the shooting effect on the computer after shooting. After using red-one, I will just feel it, let the film machine go to the hell!"
Soderberg nodded and said, "I am preparing for a Che Guevara biopic recently. I want to shoot in the mountains. Using red-one should be a good choice!"
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "A smart choice!"
The next day, relevant media reported a lot of sensation caused by red-one at the exhibition; entertainment media were not interested in 4k cameras, and their focus was on Zhang Ran and "The Great Tangshan Earthquake". Many media exclaimed that "the first 4k movie was born in China."
At the same time, the controversy over "God's Will" in China has become increasingly fierce, and the two sides have quarreled, and even led to a discussion on how historical dramas make up real things.
A group of media and experts who use "Xinjingbao" as the "Shenjingbao" criticizes "God's Will" for smearing Fuxi, and the plot is fabricated too outrageously and will mislead the audience.
Supporters of "The Will of Heaven" insist that this is a science fiction drama, not a historical drama. Will you take the things in it as real after watching "Journey to the West"? At the same time, they insist that Long Xi in "The Will of Heaven" is not a villain and has not done anything too much. Even if there is a real reversal of time and space, Long Xi may not necessarily teach civilization to mankind. It is only Han Xin's guess that human civilization will disappear, but Han Xin is not wrong. Even if Long Xi promises to teach civilization to mankind again after reversal of time and space, will Han Xin dare to believe it? What if Long Xi regrets it?
Everyone knows the conflict between Century Peak and Huayi. Media such as "New Crystal News" have a good relationship with Huayi. "God's Will" has caused this incident. Fans naturally think that Huayi is making trouble. They began to look for Huayi's black spots to crack down on the mastermind behind the scenes.
Unexpectedly, they really found a shocking huge black spot, the TV series "Seventh-grade Li's Head Shave"!
The play "Seventh-Level Li Shaved Head" tells a series of stories that led to the Qing army entering Sichuan in the early Qing Dynasty. In order to conquer the Han people spiritually, they promoted the shaving and braiding. The director of this play is Zhang Zhien, who directed "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", and wanted to continue to follow the light comedy route of "Liu Luoguo".
However, Zhang Zhien made a mistake. The "bandits" who were wiped out in the play were rebels who were unwilling to shave their heads; and millions of people died because of the promotion of shave and changing clothes. Such a tragedy was portrayed as comedy, which is unreasonable in any case.
In fact, since the start of "The Seventh-Level Li Shaved" has caused a lot of criticism on the Internet, but it has not spread. Now things have suddenly become a big deal. Countless netizens were angry by this drama, and the entire Internet world was full of curses. Zhang Zhien and the Wang brothers were greeted by many generations. Angry netizens began to call the hotline of the General Administration and demanded that the broadcast of the General Administration be banned, which caused the General Administration to have all the calls.
In Huayi's office, Wang Zhonglei yelled angrily: "Are these people sick? Isn't it just a drama? Why do you have to exaggerate it?"
Wang Zhongjun was also very depressed. Hua Yi was really in a mess. Two major dramas in "Night Banquet" and "Mo Gong" were smashed in succession. Hua Yi lost more than 20,000 yuan. He was expecting several TV series to return to his book, but he didn't expect to have such a mess again, which was extremely unlucky.
After attending the expo, Zhang Ran was also a little stunned when he returned to China. In "God's Will", Han Xin stood up to death in order to protect the civilization of this nation, and was a hero who protects the Ming Dynasty. This drama is a drama that promotes positive energy. How could it be linked to a garbage drama like "Seventh-grade Li Shaved Head"?
This is really bad news! It's simply a huge bad news!
Zhang Ran was extremely distressed. He knew that ethnic and religious issues were the red line of the General Administration. Film and television dramas involving such issues often went unforgivable. Therefore, "The Seventh-Level Li Shaved" would definitely be banned. However, this drama itself is indeed too much. Such a subject dared to become a comedy. It was self-proclaimed that it was self-proclaimed. Some things cannot be joked about.
But in the eyes of the General Administration, the recent storm was picked up by "God's Will", and they will definitely beat the 50th board. I ban you all, and it depends on who will dare to cause trouble in the future! Therefore, after banning "Seventh-grade Li's Head Shave", "God's Will" will be in trouble.
Zhang Ran really wants to scold her, especially the Wang brothers' mother, which is really a bloody disaster!
Sure enough, at noon the next day, Zhang Ran, who was resting in the office of the Olympic Operations Center, received a call from Cai Yinong.
"Mr. Zhang, something happened!" Cai Yinong seemed very anxious. "I received a notice from the General Administration that "God's Will" is not suitable for broadcasting on satellite TV for the time being!"
It is not suitable for broadcasting on satellite TV for the time being, it is just banned, but it is just a bit tactful. Zhang Ran lamented in his heart, and it was still here. He took a breath and said in a calm tone: "There is no way, please modify it! After the correction is made, I will submit it for review!"
Cai Yinong knew that Zhang Ran had a good relationship with the General Administration. He originally wanted Zhang Ran to have a relationship with the General Administration, but he didn't expect that he directly proposed to modify it and he hesitated: "How to change it?"
Zhang Ran frowned and said, "Do you know Brother Chen Kai's "Lu Bu and Diao Chan"? We will change it as much as he changes it!"
"Lu Bu and Diao Chan" is a costume TV series based on "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It is a big drama in which Brother Chen Kai and Mr. Chen Hong and his wife got involved in the screen. However, after the broadcast, many viewers complained that history was changed randomly and too bloody, so they were banned by the General Administration. Brother Chen Kai and others had to change the names of the characters in the whole play to names that had nothing to do with "Three Kingdoms". Lu Bu changed his name to Tianya, Diao Chan turned into Butterfly Dance, and finally re-aired with the name of "Butterfly Dance Tianya".
If it is modified in this way, then everything else in "God's Will" except Ji Jiang will be revised, which is a big project. Cai Yinnong is very depressed: "Mr. Zhang, is there no other way?"
Zhang Ran really has no good idea now: "Just do it like this!"
Zhang Ran is not afraid of revising it. What he is really worried about is that the General Administration will have a one-size-fits-all approach. Just like when there are some problems in the broadcast of the dramas involved in the case, time-travel dramas, etc., the General Administration will directly order these types to be banned. If the General Administration takes science fiction dramas one-size-fits-all approach, then things will be really troublesome. Not only will "God's Will" be over, Zhang Ran's planned online drama series of "Dragon Group" may go bankrupt.
However, things took a turn for the better two days later. Zhang Ran received a call from Cai Yinong. Her tone was very cheerful: "Mr. Zhang, you are still amazing!"
Zhang Ran said in an unknown way: "What's so great?"
Cai Yinnong laughed lightly: "I received a notice from the General Administration in the morning and asked us to submit "God's Will" to review again."
Zhang Ran was stunned. Things turned around. What was going on? He couldn't help but ask: "Are you kidding?"
Hearing this, Cai Yinong realized that the matter should have nothing to do with Zhang Ran, but it was not Zhang Ran. Who else has such a relationship with heaven? She said suspiciously: "It's really not the relationship between you looking for someone to connect with me?"
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "This matter is so big, how can I suppress it!"
Cai Yinongqi said: "Who could it be?"
Zhang Ran was also very surprised. After hanging up Cai Yinong's phone, he leaned on the chair and pondered for a while, but couldn't figure out what was going on. Since he couldn't figure it out, he could just ask. He picked up his cell phone and called Zhang Hongsheng, deputy director of the General Administration: "Director Zhang, I am Zhang Ran, I want to ask you something!"
Zhang Hongsheng said lazily: "What's the matter? Tell me!"
Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Our company's TV series "God's Will" was not suitable for broadcast a few days ago, but today I received a call and asked us to re-submit the review. What's going on?"
Zhang Hongsheng laughed: "Zhang Ran, young people should pursue progress and should pay more attention to current affairs!"
Zhang Ran felt strange. What did this have to do with current affairs, so he said: "The Olympics are busy, and I have been reading the news recently. Director Zhang, don't keep it a secret. What's going on?"
Zhang Hongsheng coughed and said seriously: "Yesterday, the General Administration learned the important speech of Chief No. 1 on 'continuous promotion of cultural prosperity'. You can understand by looking at Chief No. 1's speech."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran found the speech mentioned by Zhang Hongsheng online. This speech was presented by the head of the first day of the year when he was hosting a symposium on literary and artistic work in Peking. It mainly focused on "how to find the right direction of my country's cultural exhibition, enhance the international competitiveness of my country's culture, and enhance the country's soft power."
The speech was not long, and Zhang Ran finished reading it soon. He knew why the General Administration let go of "God's Will". When talking about the film industry, Chief No. 1 pointed out: "To produce refreshing, fascinating science fiction film and television works that show Chinese imagination, Chinese style, and Chinese style."
"The Will of Heaven" is undoubtedly a science fiction work that shows Chinese imagination, Chinese style, and Chinese style. It is an oriental science fiction with a strong sense of history. If "The Will of Heaven" is banned, isn't this equivalent to slapping the face of the No. 1?
Zhang Ran was not sure whether this was related to whether he mentioned science fiction movies in his last report. Since the No. 1 mentioned in his speech that he wanted to show science fiction films, the General Administration's virtue will inevitably relax the review of science fiction films, at least in terms of censorship scale, which is similar to other movies.
This is a great thing for Chinese films and even the entire film industry.8
