rising director

"This is the source of Spielberg's statement. Please read it first." The consulate counselor handed Wan Xiaohu a fax after the meeting.

Wan Xiaohu looked at it immediately.

"About the Beijing Olympic Games and Darfur, February 2008, 2. After careful consideration, I decided to officially announce that I will no longer participate in any affairs of the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Olympic Games as one of the overseas art consultants.

A year ago, the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee gave me a contract.But I've never signed because of the thought that one day I'll be able to opt out.During the year.I have repeatedly urged the Chinese government to use its unique influence to bring peace and tranquility to the Darfur region of Sudan.Despite some progress during this period, notably the passage of the UN Security Council Act 1769, the situation in Darfur continued to deteriorate.The violence continued to escalate.

Therefore, my conscience does not allow me to concentrate on my career as usual.My time and energy at this time should not be devoted to the Olympic ceremonies, but to doing everything in my power to help end the unspeakable crimes against humanity in Darfur.The Sudanese government bears most of the responsibility for these ongoing crimes; but the international community, especially the country, deserves to do more to end the suffering of the people there.The country's economic, military and diplomatic ties with the Sudanese government could continue to exert pressure on it.To urge the Sudanese government to change the bad situation in Darfur.The situation has never been more critical than it is now.Although representatives of the United States told me that they are working hard to help end the tragedy in Darfur, the tragedy has not improved one bit.

This is a very difficult decision for me.I cherish the relationship with my colleagues in my country, especially the cooperation with my good friends, famous directors Zhang Yimou and Wan Xiaohu.I've learned a lot from working with them and all the amazing artists.In fact, my greatest reward has been working with the people who bring images and imaginations to a challenging art project: Olympic ceremonies.I admire our spirit of cooperation - a spirit of true friendship and mutual respect.

In my opinion, the Olympic Games is an ideal link of communication and political division, and I am personally committed to building bridges of communication between peoples.I also find that the Beijing Olympics have and are helping to alleviate some of the world's conflicts.

The country's position in the world is very important.There is no doubt that its international influence will continue to grow.However, with increased influence comes increased responsibility.As my country welcomes the world to the 2008 Olympic Games, I also hope to be part of the audience.I also very much hope that, thanks to China's greater efforts, the Darfur region will eventually usher in peace and security. "

After reading the whole thing, Wan Xiaohu smacked his mouth and gave a two-word comment: "Naive."

From this statement, it can be seen that Spielberg's wording is very careful.

However, combined with the current international public opinion’s pressure on China, combined with turning a blind eye to China’s efforts on the Darfur issue, and combined with its intention to link the Olympic Games with politics, it’s easy to say that it’s naive, and it’s hard to say that he has a heart to blame. Nothing is impossible.

"What does Mayor Liu want me to do?" Wan Xiaohu asked.When Liu Qi came to him, it was impossible to just show him the statement.

The consulate counselor rolled his eyes: "Hollywood has a huge influence on the world. Now we are in Hollywood, and the only influential person is you. On behalf of Mayor Liu, I also hope that you can stand up in Hollywood and ease the situation. Take a look at the international pressure on the Beijing Olympics."

"I'm afraid people speak lightly." Wan Xiaohu frowned.

"The film industry is the most influential industry in the world. You are already the most influential Chinese in the world and the business card of the country. We can only rely on you."

"I'll make a call." Wan Xiaohu narrowed his eyes.

"Ok."

Wan Xiaohu called his father-in-law Su Zhicheng. Although he was immature politically, he was not stupid either.This kind of international statement cannot be made casually. He doesn't mind being used as a weapon by the country, but he must make it clear.Liu Qi is just the mayor of the capital city, and it is impossible to make him work hard with a random fax.

0343【Farewell, Spielberg】

darfur.

Located in western South Sudan, it covers an area of ​​approximately 25 square kilometers and has an estimated population of 600 million.Darfur shares borders with the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Chad, the African Republic and the Republic of South Sudan.

Darfur consists of three states, namely North Darfur, West Darfur and South Darfur.There are more than 80 tribes including Arabs, Furs and blacks living here. Most of the Arabs who believe in Islam live in the north, while the indigenous blacks who believe in Christianity live in the south.

In the 20s, with population expansion and overgrazing, desertification intensified here. Arab herdsmen who were accustomed to living by water were forced to move south and clashed with local black tribes over competition for water and grass resources.

Due to the long-term armed conflicts among the tribes in the Darfur region, many places in the region have been in a state of anarchy and chaos.

Historically, because the borders of Sudan were artificially delimited by European powers in the tenth century when they carved up Africa and implemented colonial rule, many tribes in the Darfur region were once divided into different countries. wisps of contact.

In recent years, with the continuous development of mineral resources such as oil in the Darfur region, the struggle among tribes for resources has become increasingly fierce, and some neighboring countries have also been involved in various forms. In February 2003, the black residents of Darfur successively formed two rebel armed forces, the "Sudan Liberation Army" and the "Justice and Equality Movement". They demanded autonomy on the grounds that the government failed to protect the rights and interests of the indigenous blacks.

So the Sudanese government.The war with the rebel forces began, both sides of the war.All caused a lot of casualties.

At the same time, after 2004, the West, led by the United States, changed its previous attitude of indifference and indifference, and intervened in the Darfur issue in a high-profile manner.And actively promoted the United Nations to issue a policy to define the Sudanese government's war against rebel forces as genocide.

And demand that countries that cooperate with the Sudanese government to develop resources recognize and promote the recognition of genocide.And sanction the Sudanese government together.

As we all know, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the diplomatic strategy was to unite the countries of the third world, and the African brothers were the main helpers for the country to regain its seat in the United Nations.In Africa, especially in Sudan, the Chinese government has maintained a good cooperative relationship with the Sudanese government.

And Sudan is an extremely poor country, in this case.Sanctions will only worsen the humanitarian situation in Sudan, and once the genocide is confirmed, the head of the Sudanese government will be sent to the International Court of Justice in The Hague, the Sudanese government will be finished, and the country will lose its trust with its African brothers.

The United States has successfully pushed the country into a dilemma by using the strategy of genocide.

Facing the Western countries headed by the United States to set up a situation.The Chinese government upholds justice without hesitation, stands by the Sudanese government, does not recognize that this is a genocide, but a development issue, and does not recognize that sanctioning Sudan will have a positive effect on the Darfur issue.Therefore, at the UN General Assembly, he resolutely voted against it.

American policy is stillborn.Ever since, outside the market tricks appeared, and public opinion began to be mobilized. The country that concocted the Darfur issue was inhumane, and the country failed to fulfill its responsibility for the Darfur issue.

What is even uglier is that while the U.S. government said to the public that it does not support linking the Darfur issue with the Olympic Games, members of the House of Representatives shouted to boycott the Olympic Games, and mobilized influential private figures such as Hollywood and the NBA to boycott the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Olympic Games.

Shameless tricks, can be described as unprecedented.

Even in the media, a boycott declaration was blatantly launched in the name of Olympic Committee Chairman Rogge.Although because of Rogge's clarification, he said that he did not say so, and apologized.But the goal of public opinion has been achieved, and countless people from the sports, entertainment, and chemical circles around the world who do not know the truth have begun to resist.

When the Olympic torch had to be diverted due to safety concerns, the host of the BBC even laughed out loud several times during the live broadcast of the news, showing schadenfreude unabashedly, and said, ) an embarrassment to the International Olympic Committee, an embarrassment to the Chinese government, and an embarrassment to the city of San Francisco."

American Cable News International Corporation (CNN) news commentator Cafferty attacked the Olympic torch relay while using vicious language to slander Chinese people on the "Situation Seminar" program, saying that "Chinese people have basically been the same in the past 50 years. help mobs and bandits".

O'Reilly, the host of the Fox TV news channel in the United States, and Miller, who made a guest appearance on the talk show "O'Reilly's Truth", couldn't wait to give advice to the anti-government forces and teach the audience how to "disgrace the people of the country".

Some western political politicians even show their innocence without restraint, not only talking about Darfur, but also talking about the Tubo issue.

German Chancellor Merkel changed the former German Chancellor Schroeder’s friendly policy towards China after she came to power, and frequently put pressure on the country. Recently, the German government announced that Chancellor Merkel and her government officials in charge of sports development will not participate in the event. Olympic opening.Merkel also said that although the meeting with Dalai's old bald donkey last month affected the relationship between Germany and the United States, she is willing to meet with Dalai again.

Pelosi, Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, who is known as "not a woman", is keen on "Tuban corruption" and instigated "Boycott of the Olympics", calling on President Bush to refuse to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games No effort was spared.

French President Sarkozy publicly stated during his visit to the UK that "anything is possible" regarding the boycott of the Beijing Olympics.

Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential candidate of the United States, recently publicly called on the incumbent President Bush to boycott the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Beijing.On the contrary, it was her husband, former US President Clinton, who made it clear that he opposed the boycott of the Beijing Olympics.

Czech President Klaus stated that he will boycott the opening ceremony of the No. 20 Olympic Games to be held in Beijing and will not participate in the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games because the government has quelled the violent incidents of fighting, smashing, looting, and burning in the Tibetan Autonomous Region.

Lantos, a former U.S. lawmaker known as a "country black", not only voted against the U.S. granting normal trading status to China.He also strongly opposed Beijing's hosting of the 2008 Olympic Games, falsely claiming that "China is not qualified to enjoy this honor."

The deputy mayor of Paris, Bao Ping, recently made a false statement.The IOC should warn that unless the country commits to improving its human rights record, the Games in Beijing will be moved to Athens.

The President of Poland announced that he would not participate in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Beijing and instead met with Dalai.He even told the media that he was the first person to boycott the Beijing Olympics and he was proud of it.

Because of the Darfur issue, the unprecedented political crisis of the Beijing Olympic Games was triggered. Western countries did not hesitate to use various excuses such as Tibet and human rights.Boycott the Beijing Olympics.

This will undoubtedly bring tremendous pressure to the country that is eager to show itself.

It was in this context that the Chinese government began to work hard to find more support.

Pakistani President Musharraf, IOC President Rogge, US President Bush, Australian Prime Minister Luke, Samaranch, Obama, African Union Chairman, British Prime Minister Brown, Russian Speaker, German Foreign Minister, Danish Foreign Minister, Serbia Foreign ministers and other international dignitaries have clearly supported the Beijing Olympics.

After ensuring that they were not isolated politically, the country began to mobilize civil forces again, and internationally influential stars all supported the government.Rebutting biased reporting in the West.Overseas Chinese from all over the world also took to the streets to march in support of the Beijing Olympic Games and to protest the distorted facts of foreign media on issues such as Darfur and Tubo.

In such a noisy environment, Spielberg's resignation statement exploded with amazing influence.It's like putting the country to death.

In the eyes of many people, Spielberg is just a Hollywood director.

In fact, on the contrary, Spielberg's influence is beyond imagination.He can be said to be the spiritual leader of Hollywood.The director with the highest cumulative box office in Hollywood, one of the Big Three of DreamWorks.The films I made affected people all over the world.In the United States, almost no one does not know Spielberg, deservedly the most famous celebrity.

Among the Jews, Spielberg is also one of the well-deserved leaders.

Because of his resignation, it can almost be said that Hollywood has explicitly boycotted the Beijing Olympics, and the Jewish world will also join in the boycott.

Now, among the Chinese people in the entertainment industry, who can resist Spielberg's influence?
