Starting with Super Girl, he began to train the Chinese entertainment industry.

Chapter 134: The Battle Escalates!
[Tearful! Producer Shen Qing of "My People, My Country" admits: Box office figures were not disclosed so that the film industry could have a good New Year]

People in the Chinese music scene: So you think we can just slaughter everyone in the music industry?

Your damn "As You Wish" has already sold over 430 million copies, selling another 20 in the last month shouldn't be a problem...

That's 450 million sales! Dude, stop killing them, they're going crazy!

Starting in December, many people in the Chinese music scene have begun to reduce their activities, and some singers who released albums in 2006 have simply disappeared from the public eye...

Because the total album sales for 2006 will be tallied soon, and whoever dances the most enthusiastically will be compared to Jane Zhang.

Just go invisible.

In particular, Wilber Pan, David Tao, Christine Fan, Angela Chang, Cai Yilin, Bibi Zhou, Li Yuchun, and others rarely make public appearances.

There was nothing we could do; we lost too badly.

……

The film industry, however, is completely the opposite.

Since Shen Qing held her media conference, many films competing for the 2007 Lunar New Year film season have been unusually active, frequently interacting with "My People, My Country," without any hint of jealousy.

The distributor of "Confession of Pain" said: Congratulations to "My People, My Country" for surpassing 100 million yuan in box office revenue in its first week of release. The movie is fantastic and worth watching for all of us.

The crew of "The Knot" said: "I couldn't help but shed tears while watching 'My People, My Country.' It is because of the hard work of tens of thousands of predecessors that we have such a wonderful life today."

In addition, the production teams of "Chicken and Dog Restless", "All's Well That Ends Well", "Jade Warrior", "Love Transfer" and "Curse of the Golden Flower" also congratulated "My People, My Country" in different ways.

The entire internet was in an uproar.

It instantly generated a lot of buzz for the entire 2007 Lunar New Year film season.

Many people who don't want to watch movies are eager to try it out.

Discussions online and offline are endless, especially on Baidu Tieba and Tianya forums, where related posts can be seen all the time.

In their quest for clicks, major media outlets are employing various tactics, publishing all sorts of unsubstantiated articles on their websites.

Netizens are thoroughly enjoying this gossip!
Netizen A: How come you've broadened your horizons so much?
Netizen B: We'd all die if we didn't open it. Who would dare touch "My People, My Country" at this time? They'd definitely be boycotted by fans.

Netizen C: What a thriving and vibrant scene! It's been a long time since I've seen the film industry so harmonious. No wonder Shen Qing became the film industry's discipline committee member as soon as he arrived.

Netizen D: Haha, the term "discipline committee member" is well used. Shen Qing first rectified the talent show circle, then the music scene, and now he's getting involved in the film industry. With him here, everything is fine.

Professor Wu, a public intellectual: What a pathetic collective delusion! The box office success of a patriotic film is being touted as a "boom in everything." Domestic films rely on emotional manipulation to manipulate box office revenue, and their quality can't even keep up with the exhaust fumes of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2." Faced with the industrial dominance of Hollywood, you people are still using "tribute" and "patriotism" to hypnotize yourselves. Go out and see the world!
Haters of China: Exactly! Professor Wu is right! It's just a bunch of trashy filmmakers indulging in self-congratulation. All the domestic films this year combined can't even beat "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest," let alone "Spider-Man 3" coming out next year. It's just a bunch of clowns having a party.

anger!
This has really struck a nerve with some netizens.

However, some netizens began to doubt themselves and reflect on their actions.

"That seems to make some sense. Sigh, our country's film industry is indeed not developing well, not even a hair's breadth behind Hollywood."

"Although 'My People, My Country' is very well made and I like it very much, Professor Wu is right. After all, he is a public intellectual who studied in the United States."

"Professor Wu is indeed very insightful. He almost made it onto the list of '50 most influential public intellectuals in China' by Southern People Weekly. Domestic films still have a long way to go."

"..."

A wave of lamentation spread online, and the tide of reflection following the euphoria came faster than ever before, leaving people in the film industry bewildered.

Box office data has clearly stagnated, and some films have even started to experience negative growth. What can be done after only a few days in theaters?
While the strength of Hollywood films cannot be denied, completely negating domestic films is not a solution. Many in the film industry have begun to speak out and refute the claims of public intellectuals, but their efforts have had no impact whatsoever; in fact, those intellectuals seem even more amused.

At the same time, some netizens have started a battle, getting into a fight with public intellectuals and anti-China elements.

"Heh, some of you have grown accustomed to kneeling, huh? Have you even tasted the bones bestowed upon you by your master? You've never even seen your master's face, have you?"

"Even if industrial exhaust smells wonderful, you still have to kneel down to smell it. The Pacific Ocean isn't covered; if you want to swim, go lick the West Coast. Don't pollute the domestic film industry here with your so-called 'spiritual victory'!"

For a time, many netizens used the same tone and methods to fight back against that group of people. The two sides fought back and forth, temporarily suppressing the arrogance of the public intellectuals.

But the scales of victory did not tip, and many people still echoed the words of the public intellectuals.

The poor public opinion environment has made the Party media restless. The Banyuetan magazine published an article: Beware of the intrusion of the wave of Westernization!
Many media outlets reprinted the article, but the official tone of "Banyue Tan" failed to resonate with many netizens.

Finally, on December 13, 2006, the scales of this battle tipped completely in favor of justice.

Shen Qing posted on his personal Weibo account, which received over a million likes and over 50 reposts in a single day, completely killing this farce.

[We must be wary of the "evolution" of the "public intellectual group" in every trending event.]

[Public intellectuals, as the name suggests, are public intellectuals. Originally, it was a positive term, but in recent years, whenever a hot topic occurs in society, there are always some people in this group who jump out to criticize and condemn, and blindly fawn over Western society... Their intentions are obvious to everyone.]

We must be extremely careful to distinguish between good and bad people within this group; this is crucial for China today, which is actively embracing the world.

The "public intellectual group," through highly covert methods and disguised expressions, participates in and stirs up the domestic "social perception war," guiding and shaping public perception, and influencing people's emotions, attitudes, judgments, and behaviors.

【…】

[Damn it, I don't care anymore, I'm starting to swear!]

[The industrial fumes spewed from some people's mouths have polluted the film industry! The box office of "My People, My Country," which broke 100 million yuan in its opening week, is a vote from the audience with their money. Meanwhile, some parasites are groveling and licking the boots of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2." The Pacific Ocean isn't covered; if they want to lick, they can swim over there!]

The development of Chinese films from nothing to something, from weakness to maturity, is thanks to the support of millions of viewers. Even if we are not strong enough now, it's not up to you pests to use "spiritual victory" tactics to be sarcastic and cynical. Your Western fathers do not accept you!

Finally, I want to say that China is overworked. It has to compete with Motorola in mobile phones, Toyota in cars, Silicon Valley in computers, Wall Street in finance, and Europe in welfare... But I believe that the day when it can completely catch up and even surpass Europe will surely come, and we will all see it.

That's all, meeting adjourned.

……

"Holy crap, that was satisfying, that was really satisfying to yell at them."

"Well said and well-founded! Shen Qing is amazing. No wonder he wrote 'As You Wish,' 'Ten Thousand Frontiers,' and 'My Motherland and I.' His words are sharp and get straight to the point!"

"I hope everyone wakes up! In the past two years, many people have indeed used the banner of 'fairness' to promote foreign ideas, especially articles in certain digests and readers' magazines, which make me want to vomit."

“I’ve always felt that there was something wrong with the ‘public intellectuals’ group, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. After Shen Qing’s reminder, I’m now convinced that they’ve definitely received funding from the West, and some of them are just pure bootlickers.”

"In their eyes, the moon in America is rounder than the one in China."

"Haha, the public intellectuals should be trembling now."

"I used to be only half convinced by Shen Qing, but now I'm completely convinced. I'm going to take my newly acquainted cousin to the movies right now!"

"Comrades, keep going!"
