Chapter 1143 Follow-up
In fact, it is not new for the Japanese government to spend money overseas to maintain the image of Japan or discredit China. The budget projects submitted to the government every year by the Japanese Foreign Ministry include "foreign strategic communication". According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the project "will mainly target important issues such as territorial, historical understanding, and security guarantee", strengthen international public opinion analysis and external communication capabilities related to Japan, strengthen the communication and promotion of foreign media, strengthen the construction of think tanks in the diplomatic field, and increase academic research and external communication involving territorial and historical issues.
Two months ago, British media reported that the Japanese Embassy in the UK paid 10,000 pounds per month for British think tank "Henry Jackson Association" to help Japan make and exaggerate "***". After this incident was exposed, only Russian Today, Indian Express and other media reported, and Japanese media remained silent, while most of the mainstream media in the UK and the United States did not follow up on the reports.
However, the situation is different this time. After the report of the Sunday Times came out, Zhang Ran quickly forwarded it and commented: "No wonder I think the reviews of some film critics are not like film reviews, like political comments. So that's what it is!"
After Zhang Ran forwarded and commented, many Zhang Ran fans and movie fans followed up and put the news on the hot search list. While they were forwarding, they cursed Shelley Claze and others: "I watched "The Angel of Justice" at the New York Film Festival, which is definitely a perfect masterpiece. When I saw Shelley Claze and others scored 10 or 20 points, I was shocked! How could such a good movie have such a low score? Now I finally understand!"
"It's shameful, it's really shameful! As a film critic, he actually charged money to attack other people's movies. This is even more shameful than the David Manning incident! David Manning is just false propaganda! And Sheley Claze and others are attacking a good movie!"
"I always thought the critics were a group of self-righteous bitches, but they didn't expect that they would charge money to attack other movies. Sheley Claze and the others were exposed. How many of them were not exposed?"
Subsequently, many mainstream European and American media followed up quickly and conducted large-scale reports on the topic of "Media Revelation of Well-known Film Critics Receive Money", which quickly turned the whole matter into a hot topic on the streets and alleys.
Sheley Claze and others desperately denied it, claiming that the Sunday Times owner Murdoch and Zhang Ran were close to each other and deliberately smeared themselves, but their denial was very powerless and no one believed them because the Sunday Times had tangible evidence.
The critics who had not been pointed out were frightened and said that their articles may be unreasonable and biased, but they absolutely did not charge money; the critics who did not write "Angel of Justice" but jumped out to criticize Zhang Ran were secretly glad that they were fortunate that they had not written the film review, otherwise they would have been unlucky as well. So they quickly turned their fingers and opened fire on Shery Kraze and others.
Many critics who have nothing to do with this war have stood up and condemned Shery Kraze and others. They are very clear that the actions of Shery Kraze and others have seriously affected the voices of the film critics. It can be said that they are smashing everyone's jobs and must not stand by. Christopher Orr, a film critic of "New Republic" magazine, said: "I was shocked by this news. This is definitely a big scandal, a bigger scandal than the David Manning incident!" "Rolling Stone" critic Peter Travers denounced: "This behavior is destroying the entire film critic industry, it is really terrible!" "Entertainment Weekly" film critic Lisa Schwartzbaum emphasized: "Sheley Kraze and others must be severely punished!"...
Zhang Yimou wrote to Jacob, saying that "No One Can Be Left" has no political stuff, but Jacob insisted that "No One Can Be Left" was propaganda for the government. Zhang Yimou was very angry and wrote an open letter announcing his withdrawal from Cannes and withdrew his film.
In the open letter, Zhang Yimou said: "These two of my films are about the theme of love. "Neither one is missing" expresses our love for children and our concerns about the current status and future of the overall cultural quality of our nation. "My Father and Mother" praises the truth and purity of love. This is a shared and praise emotion for human beings. However, what is puzzling is that you criticize the film for the reason of "political", which is a political or cultural prejudice."
Although Zhang Yimou's two films withdrew from Cannes, "None Can't Leave" won Zhang Yimou the second Venetian Golden Lion, and "My Father and Mother" won the jury award at the Berlin Film Festival in the second year.
Zhang Ran admires this very much. Many domestic directors kneel and even lick Cannes. They can’t lick it, but Zhang Yimou can withdraw from Cannes with a tough heart and break with Cannes. This backbone is really something that ordinary people can compare!
After Shery Kraze and others threw out the evil comments of "The Angel of Justice", Zhang Ran first threw out the view that "Shery Kraze and others' reviews are not film reviews, but political comments", which attracted Shery Kraze and others to fight back fiercely; then Zhang Ran threw out the article "The Seven Deadly Sins of Film Critics", which attracted more film critics to jump out and make things completely bigger; then, Zhang Ran analyzed and compared, and argued that Shery Kraze and others' reviews were abnormal and had obvious political tendencies; in the end, he threw out the evidence through the media, completely slapped Shery Kraze and others to death.
In the war between Zhang Ran and the film critics, Zhang Ran won a comprehensive victory, and Sheryl Claze and others were removed from the film critics. Rotten Tomatoes and MTC deleted the malicious negative reviews of Sheryl Claze and others. The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes in "Angel of Justice" rose to 78, and the comprehensive score of MTC rose to 79 points. At the same time, after this storm, many viewers who were not interested in this movie became interested in the movie, hoping that after the movie was officially released, they could go to the theater to have a glimpse.
However, Zhang Ran believes that things are not over yet. The Japanese attacks and smears on "Angel of Justice" will not stop. They will try every means to stop the movie from making a difference in the Oscars. However, Zhang Ran is very confident in "Angel of Justice" and believes that his movie can last the end.
On November 9, the results of the US presidential election counting showed that Republican candidate Donald *** had won 276 electoral votes, with more than 270 electoral votes winning criteria, locking the throne of the US president. This result was beyond the expectations of many people, and most people thought Hillary would win.
*** The president-elect caused a sensation in Hollywood, which was simply awesome. The one who responded the most intensely was Reddy Gaga. As soon as the election result was announced, she immediately drove downstairs to the Trump Building to demonstrate downstairs. As Hillary's big fan, Katie Perry, a fruit sister, posted consecutive articles on Fly, saying that "the revolution is coming" and "we will not be silent" pointed the finger at Trump. Although other stars are not so radical, their sadness is also beyond words, and there are wailings on Fly.
Almost everyone who knows a little about Hollywood knows that *** will have an important impact on the direction of the Oscars' best film this year. Originally, the two films that competed for the best film with "Angel Justice" were the two films, "Moonlight Boy" and "La La Land", but because *** is anti-globalization and is considered to have racist tendencies, Hollywood, as the base camp of anti-***, will inevitably vote for "Moonlight Boy" when voted for the best film, expressing support for people of color and dissatisfaction with ***. "Angel Justice" is a film with an internationalist tendency, and it is a Chinese story. It has a large number of Chinese faces and will inevitably win a part of the vote.
