Chapter 269: God Creation

Because of the time difference, Berlin is 7 hours behind Hong Kong, but it is still a night with lights shining like stars.

After giving her usual thank you speech and expressing her joy for winning the award, Su Yun said something very meaningful at the end: "This is a good start, but it is only a start."

The confident and heartfelt pride in her face, those in the audience who had witnessed the 46th Academy Awards ceremony where Su Yun shot to fame, seemed to vaguely see the little girl who fearlessly pursued glory.

After the 46th Academy Awards ceremony, there was a report comparing Su Yun and Tatum, who both won the Best Supporting Actress award, from movies to reality, saying that Su Yun represented the future prospects of special effects movies, while Tatum represented the former glory of traditional black-and-white movies...Now, when you connect Su Yun, who has new news every year, with Tatum, who is gradually disappearing from the mainstream, you don't even need to compare the current situation of the two to appreciate how accurate the vision of this report is.

Moreover, it is not known whether it is due to Su Yun's legendary life experience, or the red flag behind her that has begun to stand tall again in the East, which has given her more and more confidence, but Su Yun's performance on stage tonight was obviously much more outgoing and calm than her previous reserved and cautious performance.

When Su Yun walked off the stage holding the trophy, the lights and gazes that came towards her were sparkling and revealed a myriad of complexity.

As the first Chinese director and Chinese-language film team to win the Golden Bear Award, even if she herself has no other thoughts, others will extend a lot of things based on this topic.

Sometimes, people are always very strange: when a bunch of excellent movies compete for the top spot in the same year, people will express endless regret for the movies that lost or failed to get the first place; but when a relatively excellent movie becomes the favorite to win the championship in the corresponding year, winning the championship is like picking a general from a group of dwarfs, and if it does not win the championship, it is likely to be praised as a masterpiece that was unlucky.

Regarding Su Yun, who is almost universally recognized as a legendary iconic figure of the era by both the Chinese government and the public, there are always some people who go against the mainstream not only in later generations but even now. They believe that every time she won an award, it was because she was lucky enough to encounter a time when her competitors were not strong or had not yet fully matured. It was like a blind cat catching a dead mouse, and her real strength was actually very "watery".

For example, The Postman, which allowed her to successfully transition from the front of the screen to behind the scenes, was a typical case of taking shortcuts: Kowloon Walled City itself is a world-class man-made miracle. Any movie that dares to shoot on location at least has a basic base for award nominations. Coupled with the complicated relationships behind Su Yun, it is much easier to promote and build up a legendary supernova than to start from scratch.

Perhaps it is because legendary figures always need to be accompanied by real or imaginary scandals in order to attract the greatest attention and heated discussion. A few months after Su Yun was recognized as a member of the Zhao family, she won the Best Picture Award at a film festival - as for this "coincidence", there are always people who think it is not a coincidence.

Anyway, any random bit of seemingly plausible information can spark a heated debate, and it is difficult to trace on a technical level. So when the blame is put on others, the real culprit can escape attention. The most classic example of diverting trouble is to invest in a movie and then use the popularity of the movie to lead the audience in the direction they want.

If we really talk about special regions that have deep interactions with social groups, from Macau to Taiwan, they are far deeper and darker than Hong Kong.

However, since there are so many Hong Kong films about society, whenever people mention that chaotic yet glorious period, most people subconsciously think that Hong Kong and society are the inseparable pair.

This kind of operation can not only be used to regulate the overall situation, but it is even more effective when used on people. How many celebrities have been slandered and defamed by unfounded rumors during their rising and heydays for various reasons, which eventually led to their reputations being ruined and their psychology being devastated, leading to various extreme endings...all of them are good examples of this kind of operation.

Unfortunately, the operation that had always been successful hit a wall for Su Yun.

Born in the Internet age of rumors and constant disturbances, Su Yun has seen a lot of this kind of operations and even knows a lot about it due to her professional relationship. So when she found this trend, she decisively reported it, and then joined forces with the authorities to suppress it with strong means. She is on the path of becoming an idol with a spiritual symbol, so she is currently in the period of being cultivated into a god by the official and private promoters.

So, if someone wants to discredit this level of future spiritual idol, and is suspected of destroying the cultivation of this legendary myth, what will come to these people next will be various warnings of being banned, various invitations to drink tea and coffee, and even invitations to the dark forces...

Of course, allowing vicious rumors to ferment to a certain extent, and then throwing out a bunch of facts and shocking reversals, can certainly create twists and turns that are very satisfying.

However, when Su Yun thought about the problem that once the rumors developed to a certain extent, some people with mental defects or malicious intentions would always believe in the rumors and continue to spread the rumors, she felt that it would be more practical to nip them in the bud.

Not to mention that even in the Internet age, where people seem to be able to speak freely, there are still armies of censors everywhere; even in this era where print media and official announcements have more say, and people's thoughts are not yet so deviant and they do not have a foundation of "confidence" - then, the official's strong refutations and announcements can definitely crush all malicious rumors and slander.

However, most people in this world still like to watch the show and eat melons "superficially". When faced with serious topics, it is natural that entertainment gossip will appear.

Therefore, in the later generations of online platforms, the quarrel posts about Su Yun's true ability are comparable to the quarrel posts about her love scandals that people talk about.

The funniest thing is, because the number of Su Yun's fans is always much larger than the scattered number of CP fans, every time Su Yun-related topics are mentioned, whether it is a beauty comparison post, a CP comparison post, or a strength evaluation post, in the end it basically turns into a fan gathering and recognition of relatives; then all the jealous quarrels turn into a warm copy and swipe of the screen, and crazy blowing up the legend of Marilyn Sue who has achieved the ultimate from the front to the back of the stage, from acting to directing...

In addition, her beauty that makes her look like a winner in life and her well-documented history of being secretly and openly loved have made people very obsessed with her. The debate has continued for years, both offline and online.

Laymen see the excitement while experts see the tricks. Although there are always people who say that Su Yun is not strong enough and relies on good luck, those with related interests all think that in addition to his first-class strength, Su Yun is also extremely lucky, making him an excellent choice for investment and cooperation.

The ultimate requirement of investors and partners is that a film can make money or win awards.

Su Yun is not only good at both, but also has good luck and is successful in winning awards frequently. This is simply perfect!

Unlike some powerful unlucky bastards, who tried their best to make a good movie, but ended up crashing into several masterpieces of great gods in the same award competition... Although this kind of people are not box office poison, in the eyes of somewhat "particular" investors, they are a pitfall worse than box office poison.

Most importantly, the success of The Rooftop Postman and Su Yun in winning the awards not only represents a major change in the commercial and artistic significance of Chinese films, but also its implied political significance and discussion have attracted the attention of those involved in this matter.

Years ago, when Zhao Liming went to Shenzhen to inspect the real estate industry, he negotiated with Su Yun and brought "The Rooftop Postman" to Shenzhen for a small internal screening.

Rapid development is always accompanied by various sacrifices and temporary mistakes. In the rapid development of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in recent years in response to policies, many problems have also secretly arisen, just like Hong Kong, which had to give up some things in order to promote rapid economic development.

Many times, every developed big city has gone through the inevitable detours and mistakes in development; but even with precedents, latecomers will inevitably fall into the same pitfalls, as if they have to step on and fall into these pitfalls themselves in order to truly understand the pain and mistakes.

However, Su Yun and Zhao Liming, two people who have witnessed this history, do not want to see the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, which they have high hopes for, gradually move towards this state.

It can be said that the reason why Su Yun filmed "The Rooftop Postman", which was later called a "prophetic masterpiece", was not just for the sake of winning awards.

Rather, it is to warn and guide everyone from top to bottom through the popularity and guidance of the film - when everything gives way to development, it is inevitable that under the seemingly gorgeous and glorious shell, unbearable erosions and scars will secretly grow, which will erupt sooner or later.

At the same time, the conscientious industries led by Zhao Qiming will also become the final bottom line and propaganda model to arouse the conscience of some emerging large companies that have not yet been completely polluted by the polluted environment.

Admittedly, acting according to one's conscience is not the ultimate guarantee, so Zhao Qiming gradually came up with the idea of ​​using this as a foundation to move from business to politics.

Su Yun expressed her unlimited support for this.

While the two siblings were still plotting abroad, the morning light once again crossed the horizon, crossed the Victoria Harbor on the Hong Kong River, and came to the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the original window to the outside world, without stopping.

People dressed as simply as passers-by are gathering in offices and conference rooms, immersed in their work.

Faced with the discussion of "pushing Su Yun to become a spiritual idol" and the plan to bring "The Rooftop Postman" to mainland China for broadcast, some young people who have just arrived can't help but wonder: Although Su Yun's movies are great and have accompanied a generation's growth, at this critical stage of development, wouldn't it be a nuisance to introduce such a story theme that is clearly an obstacle to development?

"So what do you think?" The older leader did not scold him right away, but asked back in an unusually gentle tone.

Looking at this young man with tender skin, the old leader couldn't help but take a look at his own dark and rough hands: perhaps this young man from a well-off family could not imagine how many people had sold their goods at a low price over the years, either unaware or fully aware of the situation, in order to promote economic development...

Whether being deceived or forced into a helpless situation, the old leaders who came from the grassroots couldn't help but feel sad and distressed.

However, there is no need to impose the hardships of the pioneers on the next generation. What these young people, like the rising sun, need to do most now is to make good use of their knowledge, stand on the shoulders of their older predecessors, and reach for the farther and brighter light in the horizon.

The young man didn't know what the old leader expected, so he shook his head and honestly said what he was thinking: "Anyway, I'm thinking... we've only had enough food and clothing for a few years, how can we have the time and conditions to think so far ahead?"

"It is because they don't have the time or conditions to think that far ahead that we need to see far ahead for them and think even further ahead - this is our duty and mission." The old leader looked at the young people who were still ignorant and smiled with eager expectation. "So, while we work hard for our people here, we also need a spiritual idol like Lei Feng's spirit to lead people to stride forward towards a foreseeable and beautiful future."

The emerging film and television industry is a new-era communication medium that is far more easily accepted and sought after than traditional paper media in terms of the dissemination of ideas.

Su Yun has worked her way up from the bottom, winning the Palme d'Or for Best Actress at the Cannes Film Festival, the Golden Lion for Best Debut at the Venice Film Festival, and the Golden Bear for Best Film at the Berlin Film Festival... In just ten years, she has undergone a series of transformations from in front of the camera to behind the scenes at a rapid pace, and completed a successful transformation that has garnered great praise.

Coupled with her deep love for her motherland and her unwavering stance from beginning to end, there is no doubt that no one else could have been chosen as the spiritual symbol.
