Chapter 592 591. Subtitle group

  Lu Kian did not conduct a global publicity, because he believed that the subject matter of this film is relatively unique, and the ideas conveyed in it cannot be understood and accepted by people all over the world.

There are creators in this world who want their creations to attract the general public as much as possible. Such creators have two forms of development. One is to grasp the commonality of human beings and to transcend the national, ethnic, ideological and cultural level. Emotions are used to create works, no matter what country or what kind of people see these works, they will be touched.

Another form of development is to package what you think is right into a form that everyone can accept, such as superhero movies, which seem to be a stack of special effects and big scenes, but in fact it is a culture of personal heroism and liberalism output.

There are also some creators who focus on creating something that only a small number of people can appreciate or accept. Their works are full of nationality and regionality. If you don't have a certain understanding of their creative background and culture, then the basic It's hard to understand what's in it.

   Of course, what belongs to the nation is what belongs to the world. As long as the content is good enough, it will attract many people to study these cultures and understand the content created, which can also be regarded as a kind of cultural output.

Therefore, Lu Bian's "Nine Streams" contains the thinking that is closer to the Chinese people often say that self-cultivation, balancing the family, governing the country and the world, each and every Jiuchuan person upholds the idea of ​​​​being wise and helping the world. These cores may be in foreign countries. Considered collective over the individual, enforced personal sacrifice, and even oppression of human rights.

  From a cognitive point of view, Lu Bian believes that Chinese people are more accepting of the content and easier to complete the task.

   Anyway, his purpose is not to make money, but to change everyone's perception.

   However, Lu Kian's behavior obviously exceeded many people's expectations.

  Especially when he announced that the premiere of "Nine Flows" was only in China, the foreign media's comments were the loudest.

   This land tie, is it floating?

   His previous films, not to mention fame and fortune internationally, were at least huge hits. This "Nine Flows" should obviously consolidate its previous position and reap another wave of box office in the world, causing a frenzy.

   But Lu Kizuna did not authorize the premiere in overseas theaters, not even the subtitled version.

   This means that this "Nine Flows" can only be seen in China.

   What is he doing with his money and not earning it?

   Of course, the thoughts of the media reporters can't change Lu Kian's decision.

   One week before the long holiday on October 1st, some foreigners began to buy air tickets to come to China and prepare to watch the premiere in domestic cinemas.

   In addition, they have to face a problem, that is, they do not understand Chinese.

   When Lu Bian’s films were released abroad before, they were either the original sound with subtitles or dubbed. I don’t mention the quality of the translation, at least it was not difficult to understand.

   But now this movie has no English subtitles, not even Chinese subtitles, not to mention foreigners, some Chinese people think that they may not understand it.

There has never been such a movie without subtitles in history. The early movies did not have subtitles, and everyone was still happy to watch them, but the actors at that time were very high-level, with clear articulation, sonorous force, cadence, and the lines a treat.

  Nowadays, many actors have poor basic skills in their lines, and they can't speak clearly. Without subtitles, they really don't know what they're talking about.

   In the two trailers of "Nine Flows", the first one is full of words, which makes people ignore the existence of subtitles. Even after watching it, many people realize that there are no subtitles.

  The second trailer is simple and sincere, as if the people around you are talking to you. They speak more down-to-earth and do not use the tone of subtitles.

   Therefore, most viewers feel that the presence or absence of subtitles should have little impact on "Nine Flows".

   As for foreigners, sorry, please learn Chinese.

In foreign forums, some translators of Lu Bian’s early works added subtitles to the videos uploaded by Lu Bian on the Internet and became a subtitle group. Some members of the subtitle group are going to watch it for the first time this time. Finish the movie, and then give foreign audiences spoilers!

   College student Stephen is a member of the subtitle team.

He studied in the Chinese Department of Yannan University. He speaks fluent Chinese. If he just listens and speaks, people will probably think that he is a minority. Many domestic reports about Lu Bian are translated abroad through him. on the fan forum.

  This time, he also received an important task, that is to go to the premiere of "Nine Flows".

  Stephen, like many foreigners who came to China, was interested in kung fu, opera, and Yannan roast duck. As soon as he saw the trailer of "Nine Flows", Stephen fell in love with this movie madly.

   In Stephen's opinion, Lu Bian's previous films were somewhat meant to cater to the audience, while "Nine Flows" reflected traditional culture. Stephen was very curious about how Lu Bian would present these.

  October, the first day of the university holiday, he bought the pre-sale tickets and went to the cinema next to the school to catch the morning show.

  The ten o'clock show was sold out, and the cinema was full of people. Stephen also saw some people who were the characters in the works before cos became Lujian. He cheekily took a photo and was very satisfied.

   When it came to the entrance, the speed of the movie theater was also unprecedented for Stephen.

In the past, when he watched a movie, many people had already started the movie. The first episode was almost finished and it was long overdue. He used his mobile phone to illuminate the seat to find a seat, which affected other people's viewing of the movie. Yes, that really completely ruined the movie viewing experience.

   And this time, the commercials haven’t even finished, and the auditorium is already full of people.

  Stephen is satisfied.

   He sent a message to the subtitle team on the chat software, took a picture of the screening room, then muted the phone and put it in his pocket.

  The theater was completely darkened.

  After the logos of the producers of several movies flashed, the familiar Silent Media logo appeared, and then it was dark.

   In the dark night, there is a village looming.

  The camera came to the village, a child was wearing sackcloth and mourning, kneeling in front of the mourning hall, and in front of him were two coffins.

   After a few simple conversations, Stephen learned that the deceased were the parents of the child, and today was the first seven, the night of returning to the soul.

  The candles flickered, the paper money burned quietly in the brazier, and the child knelt in front of the coffin, silent.

   Beside, there is a man wearing sunglasses watching this scene, seems to be thinking about something.

   Just then, a gust of wind blew.

   The flickering candle light flickered twice and then went out.

  The child raised his head and looked at the extinguished, still smoking candle.

   From behind him, there was a faint call, calling his name.

  The child turned his head, and the next moment, he was blindfolded by a hand.

   "Some things are better out of sight."

  The man wearing sunglasses came to the child's side at some point, covered his eyes, and protected him behind him.

   Then, he said a few words to the empty mourning hall, to the effect that the parents of the child should not worry and reincarnate in peace.

   After a gust of gloomy wind, the candle actually burned again, and the mourning hall became bright. The child did not know what happened. He looked at the man and wanted to know the answer.

   "In this world, the more you know, the more unfortunate you will be. Live well."

  The man patted the child on the shoulder and walked out of the courtyard.

  The camera is pulled up, and the mountains under the moonlight are continuous.

The    calligraphy outlines a little bit and writes the title of the movie.

   "Nine Streams".
