China Entertainment: Indulge in Vanity Fair

Chapter 436 Putting aside the facts, where should you reflect?
Let’s not talk about topics that are too deep. Let’s solve the current problem first.

"Let's hold a joint press conference to resolve this issue," Cai said.

"I agree with this. We have no control over international affairs, but we cannot allow outsiders to stir up trouble in our own affairs." Chairman Wu of the Filmmakers Association said.

"I also agree. Our people are fighting for it from the Producers Association." said the president of China Film and Television.

"I agree too." The leaders of the Propaganda Department and the Culture Department said in unison.

Therefore, just two hours later, they held a joint press conference on the He Fang incident at the Capital Hotel.

It immediately attracted the attention of the entire Internet and at home and abroad. Some platforms directly opened live broadcast lines and prepared to broadcast the press conference live.

At 2016:8 pm on August 18, 7, He Fang, Director Cai, as well as leaders from the culture, publicity and film associations came to the scene. Of course, there was also an important party, people from the police department. He is the leader of the Information Department of the Ministry of Public Security.Nearly 30 reporters have gathered at the press conference.

These reporters include reporters from various news organizations based in China, as well as entertainment and social news reporters from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.Because this is not simply entertainment news, but also social news.

A TV station's live broadcast line and an online live broadcast line were set up at the scene. Everyone is looking forward to it. This is not only related to the personal problems of China's most famous director, but also to the problems of Chinese movies. Many people are also waiting and watching. Let’s see if the Chinese film industry will bow to the United States.

When everyone arrived at the scene, the host was Mao Yu, a director of the General Administration. His stopping here means that this is not the matter of He Fang alone, but the matter of the entire Chinese film industry.

After sitting down with the speech in hand, Mao Si cleared his throat.

"Thank you all friends from the media for coming. This urgent invitation is mainly because the famous Chinese director Mr. He Fang has been inexplicably involved in a trap designed by others during this period, and Director He Fang's personal honor and disgrace are related to the overall Chinese film. Honor, disgrace and development.

Therefore, after discussions between our two parties, we finally decided to use a cross-department joint effort by China Film to deal with the incident involving Director He Fang being in jail.Next, I will explain to the media friends the whole incident that we have learned about. After that, if the media friends have any questions, they can ask our leaders and director He Fang himself.

Next, let me explain the whole incident: It started when Director He Fang's new film "Pacific Rim 2" achieved a global box office of US$22 billion, becoming the second highest-grossing film in film history.

This was originally a good thing, but in the eyes of some people, this good thing has turned into an evil that challenges the cultural order led by the United States, and has become the reason for some people to create public opinion incidents.Certain people in China promote this non-existent 'evil', and then engage in acts of beating and violence.

This kind of beating and violent behavior has nothing to do with Director He Fang according to the investigation of the public security department, but some interested people have to blame He Fang.And used this as an excuse to create an act to block He Fang internationally. While creating incidents internationally, he also successively slandered and disrupted China's public opinion in China, shouting, beating and killing He Fang, with the intention of directing He Fang. They poured dirty water on him and even gave him non-existent moral kidnappings.

This kind of behavior against He Fang is actually a suppression of Chinese films. For example, asking Director He Fang to cancel the annual Film Awards is a suppression of Chinese films.Another example is that directors are not allowed to engage in the international film business, which is a disguised way to hinder the progress of Chinese films in the international arena.

Therefore, we express serious concern and severe condemnation.We also inform some domestic people who assist foreign forces to stir up trouble and stir up trouble in the country to pay attention to their behavior. This has constituted a serious crime. We will pursue the inappropriate behavior of relevant personnel through legal means.

At the same time, this matter has attracted great attention from our relevant departments. Anyone who attempts to suppress Chinese films and the Annual Film Awards is against us, and we will resolutely oppose it to the end..."

After Mao Yu finished speaking, several hundred reporters became commotion.

Mao Yu then said: "Now, I would like to ask Officer Wu from the public security department to report on the investigation report on the beatings of media personality Wang Zhian and related people, as well as the investigation results of online rumors that He Fang has teamed up with many actors to act in a play."

The media reporters immediately focused their cameras on Officer Wu, who was sitting on the stage. This officer, who was in his 30s, was very calm, and then he picked up the report and began to read it.

"Regarding the recent public opinion incident in which He Fang hired others to beat Wang Zhian and six other media people, the party He Fang immediately reported to our public security agency. After 72 hours of investigation, we are now reporting the case as follows: According to several people who were beaten, The location of the incident, surveillance, and evidence from passers-by..."

Next, Wu Chu gave a detailed introduction to the case, including when and where several media members were beaten, what the environment was like at the time, whether there were any witnesses, and whether there was any surveillance video.The interrogation process and results after the suspect was caught, as well as the confessions and transcripts of the parties involved...

Officer Wu showed the reporters some evidence one by one, including case records, interrogation videos and signatures of the parties involved. The criminal suspect initially insisted that someone had instigated the crime and who the instigator was.

Then the police asked step by step who sent them to contact them and who the contact person was... The case had some twists and turns, but the public security department still proved step by step that it was not He who contacted them, but... someone else. people.But at this moment, the suspects admitted that it was their spontaneous act, saying that they were fans of He Fang and couldn't stand these people slandering He Fang, so they took action.

Then the police asked them how they found the specific information about Wang Zhian and others?By what means?These people hesitated again.

Finally, through further investigation, the police department finally identified the person who provided information and paid them. The person behind this was a senior editor from a publishing company, and he was a well-known liberal in the country. After investigation, he was suspected of involving secrets and many other things endangering national security, and is currently under the control of the national security department.

After reporting on the case of several media people being beaten, Officer Wu made a statement on the so-called rumor and defamation case, which also involved the senior editor of a publishing company, who had already pleaded guilty.

……

After Officer Wu's briefing, host Mao Yu took over the topic: "The following is a media Q&A session. You can ask questions to Director He Fang and several leaders. OK, this reporter in red."

"Hello everyone, I am the BBC correspondent in China. Regarding the case reported by the police just now, we believe that there is deliberate behavior to clear the suspects. We do not recognize such a result. If there must be a fair verdict, it can be done by the international police Come and participate…”

"I'm sorry, this journalist friend. First of all, this is a Chinese case. No party involves overseas personnel, so international police and laws cannot be used. Secondly, as China's law enforcement department, we can accept supervision, but in the chain of evidence, this is Under perfect conditions, you can't just rely on your imagination to think that we are clearing the suspicion. Everything depends on evidence, and we rely on evidence." Officer Wu became angry when he heard this and immediately retorted.

"No, what if you threaten relevant witnesses to give false testimony? Who can prove it?" the reporter said.

"You mean, we as a country's law enforcement department have no credibility? Can you be responsible for your remarks? According to you, as long as someone questions it, can I also question that the American police have lost credibility? The British police have lost credibility. Lost their credibility? The police in all countries have lost their credibility? Are you sure you want to think so?"

Officer Wu asked angrily, including the Chinese reporters next to him, who stared at the BBC reporter fiercely. This was a bit too much.

Finally, the reporter spread his hands and said no more.

Next, the reporters made further inquiries about the case. Some of the questions were very detailed, and Officer Wu answered them one by one, very professionally.

Then the reporters pointed the finger at He Fang and asked him many questions.

"Director He Fang, how do you view and handle this incident? Why do you think someone is attacking you at this time?"

"As for how to look at it, actually...I'm not surprised at all that something like this happened, because they have criminal records. In order to achieve their goals, they will artificially create so-called 'crimes' and 'evidence', such as using washing powder to represent large-scale crimes." Destructive weapons, etc.

They don't care whether you believe it or not. Anyway, they have produced the evidence they should obtain, and then use their right to speak in the international public opinion field to directly characterize and punish.

What I can say is that the press conference we held today is limited to explaining the situation within China, and it will definitely be reported differently in the international media.For example, 'What crime is China trying to cover up', 'What is the clown-like news performance', 'As an internationally renowned film director, he should be punished' and so on.

In the end, regardless of the truth, they will use their own methods to restrict my film activities internationally.So, I have seen the results of this matter, the results they must have.

As for how to deal with it, you have all seen that no matter how I handle it personally, it is not appropriate. I can only hand over the handling methods to the relevant departments.I can only call the police as soon as possible and report it to the management department as soon as possible.

As for your last question, why would someone attack me at this time? Everyone with a discerning eye knows it. Do you still need me to explain the matter clearly?I don't think it's necessary anymore. "

After He Fang finished speaking, the reporters at the scene became excited again, and Mao Yu pointed to another reporter to ask questions.

"Director He Fang, let me ask you, aside from the facts, you haven't reflected on what happened to this point. Did you do anything wrong?"

He Fang, several leaders, and reporters on the scene were all stunned. How could anyone ask such a shameless question?

"If you put aside the facts, what else are you talking about? Whether it is at the legal level or the moral level of public order and good customs, everyone must talk about one thing, which is the morality of right and wrong based on the facts. You have put aside the facts. What else do you do as a reporter? Aren’t journalists supposed to provide the public with a basic basis for distinguishing right from wrong based on facts?

Also, I don’t understand why a victim should reflect?Reflect on whether I am not strong enough?Think about it, if China is the world's most powerful country, will it then turn around and try to manipulate others?Thinking about it, if Chinese media people protect their country and those who have made contributions like the United States, won’t they be framed?

Or is there something you want me to reflect on?I think some elite British people are very funny now.We are forced to reflect on ourselves at every turn. Some facts and truths are obviously very clear and simple, but they just pretend to be our own mistakes and make us reflect on them.What kind of weird thinking is this?Next questioner! "

He Fang's answer was very angry. Some Chinese people really use reflection as a panacea. Whether it is someone else's fault that has harmed us or our own fault, we must first ask ourselves to reflect.It seems that if we reflect, we can become the world's most powerful country.

So far at the press conference, netizens have been quarreling, especially the BBC reporter's questions and the reporter's "putting aside the facts" simply touched the bottom line of netizens.

"It's really shameless. I don't know what words to use to describe these people. Putting aside the facts, what are you talking about? Are you talking about fallacy? It's just, 'No matter what evidence you present, we think you are guilty anyway. You Don't struggle, you have to confess'. What's the logic of that?"

"Damn it, the more I watch this press conference, the angrier I get. They are all a bunch of bastards. One said they don't believe the evidence of China's police, and the other uses 'put aside the facts' reflection to force Fang Fang to admit his mistake. This kind of thing is also He's so bullying, like a scoundrel who wants to kill him anyway."

"They say media people are there to uphold justice. Look, look, are they upholding justice? This is showing shamelessness."

"I seriously doubt what He Fang will say. International public opinion will still criticize He Fang as worthless, and then impose so-called punishment on He Fang. It's really annoying..."

……

After being criticized by He Fang at the scene, the reporters' questions became a little more normal.For example, a reporter asked Director Cai of the General Administration how to deal with the punishment imposed by the International Producers Association?

"First of all, the International Producers Association is only an organization that certifies and rates film festivals. It has no enforcement power. Therefore, we express our solemn protest against the International Producers Association's so-called punishment. How can we let a What about agencies that don’t have the power to enforce the law?
For example, it is not the International Producers Association's decision to cancel He Fangzai's trophy at the International Film Awards. What really decides this is the organizing committee of each corresponding film festival.

In addition, as one of the 26 members of the association, China will resolutely defend our rights.For example, like the Annual Film Awards, He Fang He has nothing to do with this award. He Fang is just the initiator of this award, but the real organizers are our radio and television and the Film Association and other departments.

It would be unconvincing to cancel a film award because of one person.Moreover, He Fang did not commit any illegal or criminal acts. Officer Wu had just reported the case, and all this had nothing to do with He Fang.Where does an agency without law enforcement authority have the power to punish him?What's the reason?What does this have to do with the cancellation of the annual Film Awards?
