Chapter 514: International Superstar Certified by the Diplomatic Team!
"Hey, Chief Zhou! Come in quickly."
Seeing Zhou Zhengxun at the door, Wang Xintian quickly stood up and greeted him.
Although the Film Bureau is nominally directly under the National Academy, its sign is hung at the door of the Central Propaganda Department and its business is also subject to the guidance of the Central Propaganda Department. Generally speaking, those who pass the customs at the Film Bureau also join the Central Propaganda Department, so Zhou Zhengxun, the third in command of the Central Propaganda Department, is strictly speaking Wang Xintian's superior.
Wang Xintian was not surprised by Zhou Zhengxun's sudden visit early in the morning.
The domestic film market has begun to stir as the summer season is approaching, and several domestic film and television festivals are about to be held. In addition, the political propaganda conscription is also being prepared. During this period, the Film Bureau and the Central Propaganda Department have held meetings every day.
Just yesterday, the meeting on the Film Bureau's national broadcast of modern military film and television dramas and the publicity and support work for summer and autumn conscription was held until after seven in the evening.
"I asked my subordinates to sort out the plan for the exhibition last night. The report will be ready before I get off work. I will send it to you then. I just arrived this morning and wanted to check my phone and fish for a while, but you bumped into me. Isn't this a sign of trouble?"
While taking the thermos to pour water, Wang Xintian hurriedly said this, thinking that Zhou Zhengxun was talking about yesterday's meeting.
But Zhou Zhengxun laughed and waved his hand.
"There is no rush for the report. The conscription propaganda is done every year, and it's the same thing every year. I came here to ask you about someone. When I got up this morning, I was called by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and asked about the information of an artist named Li Youzhi in our country.
It is said that this person made a video that was forwarded by netizens from all over the world, and even this work was reported on the national television stations of Egypt and several countries. I am not familiar with the entertainment and film and television industry. I am not familiar with the entertainment and film and television industry. I am not thinking that you are in charge of this area, so I want to ask you to understand the situation."
Hey?
Just after handing the tea to Zhou Zhengxun, Wang Xintian was happy to hear him say this.
Putting the teapot aside, he turned over the phone that had just been placed on the table.
"Isn't it a coincidence that I was watching this guy's video when you came in. Director Zhou may not pay much attention to this because he is busy with work, but you should know about Li Youzhi. In the previous industrial development report meeting of our Film Bureau, this guy's two movies were highlighted. They are "The Wandering Earth" and "Nezha". You were present at the report meeting!"
Hearing Wang Xintian's words, Zhou Zhengxun stopped raising the teacup to his mouth.
"Oh~ I have an impression. When you gave the report meeting before, I still remember that people in the department joked that your Film Bureau met the God of Wealth last year, and the industrial report was so beautiful. It turned out to be him? The movies he made were good at the domestic box office, so why did he go abroad to shoot videos?"
Faced with Zhou Zhengxun's question, Wang Xintian smiled and shook his head.
After a little hesitation, he roughly recounted what happened to Li Youzhi during this period.
Sitting opposite him, Zhou Zhengxun's brows gradually furrowed as he listened to the recent experience of Li Youzhi and Heguang Audiovisual.
"Old Wang, I have to talk about you. From the actual situation, this young man is not bad. He has strong business ability and is also reliable in consciousness. Your bureau should provide some guarantees for such artists to go abroad.
Now our national strength and international influence are expanding step by step following the national strategy, and the cultural field must also keep up. Isn't the Film Bureau also responsible for international cultural exchanges? We should protect what should be protected and provide resources. Before our culture goes abroad and faces the world in all aspects, it is also good to establish one or two signs first."
For Zhou Zhengxun's admonition, Wang Xintian could only smile bitterly.
You, an administrative person, know nothing...
Is it so easy to establish a cultural signboard internationally?
Not to mention the distant past, let's talk about recent years. How many people have the Film Bureau stuffed into Hollywood by taking the opportunity of Sino-foreign co-production?
What is the result?
No matter how big a star is in China, when he goes abroad, he is at most given a supporting role!
A few years ago, China Film and Marvel cooperated, and spent more than 40 million US dollars, including sponsorship and brand placement from domestic enterprises. Taking this opportunity, China Film sent several top domestic stars to go there, but what happened?
A big star like FBB, who was a popular top star in China at the time and was also well-known in the international fashion industry, appeared in Marvel's movie for only a dozen seconds and then got a box lunch!
It's easy to talk without feeling any pain in the waist...
"Okay, Chief Zhou. I'll look back and if there's a chance, I'll try what you said."
Wang Xintian didn't want to explain too much to Zhou Zhengxun about the difficulties of mainland stars going abroad, so he casually said something.
Seeing that he was just coping, Zhou Zhengxun shook his head and his face became serious.
"Old Wang, I think we are in this era, standing in the position of propaganda, and we should have a sense of mission. You see, our department is called the Central Propaganda Department, and our main work is news and public opinion, macro spiritual culture and ideological and political overall situation.
The reason why we have such business is that our main direction before was the positive development of domestic society. But now the times have changed, and the European and American methods are becoming less and less effective.
Just look at the fact that a video of "Escape from the British Museum" was reported by various national television stations, which shows that the hegemony of European and American public opinion has shown signs of loosening. So what should we do? The right to speak is something that comes from struggle, not something that falls from the sky. China's propaganda can be said to be China's propaganda, but we cannot give up promoting China if we have the opportunity. What do you think? "
Facing Zhou Zhengxun's outstanding gaze, Wang Xintian licked his lips.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded heavily.
…
"Li Youzhi! Open the door for me!"
Li Youzhi was awakened from a deep dream by a violent knock on the door.
At around seven o'clock in the morning, when he heard the loud banging outside the door and Tu Susu's angry roar, he lazily climbed out of bed and opened the door.
At the door, Tu Susu, wearing a pair of sad frog pajamas, had a bulging face and big watery eyes that wanted to release a knife.
"It's so early in the morning. Are you mourning?"
Ignoring Tu Susu's cannibalistic gaze, Li Youzhi yawned and complained.
Seeing his sleepy look, Tu Susu's little chest rose and fell rapidly a few times before she pounced on him.
Eat my aunt and her blood will turn into a river of teeth!
Early this morning, Tu Susu was woken up by the WeChat messages that kept coming from her cell phone.
The news was sent by best friends Guan Jiaojiao and Xu Shirley. Without exception, they all denounced Tu Susu for working on works with the great president without telling her sisters.
Tu Susu was baffled by the accusations from several sisters at first, until she read "Escape from the British Museum" sent by Guan Jiaojiao...
Only then did she realize that yesterday she had unknowingly...been prostituted by Li Youzhi, the unscrupulous boss and the black-hearted president, for a heroine, and unknowingly acted in a sixteen-minute short play!
Regarding the short drama itself, Tu Susu thought it was pretty good. My image in the drama is also sweet and cute, making people fall in love - this can be seen from the sudden increase of more than 400,000 followers on Weibo, which I don't usually manage at all.
but!
That's not what happened!
Without my knowledge, the guy next door used the travel VLOG materials to edit a short drama without any violation.
In theory, this bastard can edit the material about himself into any form - he just needs to add different lines!
What if this guy gets crazy and puts some restrictions on the editing of scenes, wouldn't he be able to become the heroine of an action movie without even realizing it?
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"..."
Standing in front of the sofa, Li Youzhi rolled his eyes when he saw Tu Susu holding his arm through the thick towel bathrobe like a puppy.
Ignoring Assistant Tu's inaudible but dirty accusation, he dragged Tu Susu to the bedside table and picked up his cell phone.
Oops!
As soon as he opened his shaking hands, Li Youzhi's whole body was shaken.
After "Daydreamer", his number of followers has exceeded 100 million.
Although there is some official support from Douishou as an in-depth cooperation artist with Douishou, the actual number of fans is actually tens of millions larger.
Due to the size of the platform, it is actually very difficult to grow after the number of fans exceeds 60 million.
Although Zhi Ge is unparalleled in talent and has the best appearance and temperament in domestic entertainment, Zhi Ge is not RMB after all. It is impossible for more than a quarter of the hundreds of millions of users of Doushou to like Zhi Ge, right?
But after one night, the number of followers that was originally floating around 100 million had reached 103 million!
In one sleep, I gained two million followers!
With the joy of gaining followers that he had not felt for a long time, Li Youzhi clicked on the comment area with trembling hands. Li Youzhi couldn't help but feel happy after seeing the comments from netizens.
"Damn it, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Geng, forwarded "Escape" and came here specially to observe the real owner!"
"x-on: Listen to the advice, little brother Li Youzhi, get up quickly! Look at Twitter, the deputy representative of the United Nations retweeted "Escape from the British Museum", and Cairo TV Station in Egypt also reported it for one minute and thirty seconds. This wave It’s turned over six times!”
"Ah ah ah, the Sixth Princess also retweeted and commented on Weibo, I'm so awesome!"
Wuhu,
Seeing the excited messages from netizens in the comment area, Li Youzhi immediately clicked on Weibo and Twitter.
As expected, the big bosses in the diplomatic system who are usually at odds with him are all promoting the short drama "Escape from the British Museum".
Among them, the one that made him feel uncomfortable the most was the tweet of former diplomatic spokesman Geng Ge;
"We have always paid close attention to Chinese cultural works that have been exported abroad. In order to let people around the world understand China, our previous works tried to use exquisite pictures and beautiful language to show Chinese symbols. But unfortunately, these works have not been exported abroad. Get the heat.
"Escape from the British Museum" is a short and concise work that allows me to see a bridge to deal with people around the world. Empathy is the best way to break down language and cultural barriers. The prerequisite for telling a good Chinese story is a good story.
Cultural relics cry, cultural relics shed tears, and cultural relics tell a history of humiliation. After more than a hundred years of wandering, a foreign land is no longer their safe haven. They are waiting for their mother’s call to come back, and the countryside will never return!
We urge the British Museum to return the looted cultural relics unconditionally. We also hope that people around the world will unite and say no to aggression and theft! "
Look, look, look,
Looking at Gengge's tweet which had received more than 10,000 likes and comments in more than three hours, Li Youzhi grinned.
Diplomatic group certification, what is an international superstar!
o(￣▽￣)ｄ tactical retreat!
