Special feature of 1905 film network　As a filmmaker, Chen Guofu has rich experience and many identities. In his early years, he wrote film reviews and magazines, changed scripts for Yang Dechang, and worked as a code word. Later, when he was a director, he made movies, from what Wen Qing must see to the type of thriller, practicing kung fu on the camera; Later, he went to Colombia, Huayi Brothers and other big companies to be a "senior administrator" and began to strategize in a more macro dimension.

For today’s Chen Guofu, people in the film circle are used to defining him as a "gold medal producer". From to, from to, Chen Guofu’s producer works are very famous. He assisted Xiaogang Feng and Tsui Hark, and also supported Wu Ershan and Feng Delun. This time, he brought a new director who he thought was brilliant to the audience. The new director’s name was Xiao Yang, and his film was called.

Chen Guofu and Xiao Yang have known each other for many years, but it is the first time to produce a film for him. When interviewing these two people, they all mentioned Xiao Yang’s experience in editing If You Are the One. Chen Guofu said that he asked Xiao Yang if he dared, and Xiao Yang said that if you dare, I will dare. Xiao Yang said that Chen Guofu asked him if he dared to cut it, and said that if you dare to cut it, I will dare to let you cut it. There is a little discrepancy between the two statements, but the conclusion is: both of them dare.

Every time Chen Guofu is asked about his so-called producer experience, he will start with his initial intention, emphasize intuition and temporarily avoid the consequences. He believes that whether a film is commercial or not also depends on the judgment of the result, not the intention or ambition. For so many years, he has always regarded making movies as a gambling game, and when betting, he relied on his own transcendental judgment. He himself said that in this era of big data, this may be a bit out of place. However, Chen Guofu is still very firm now. Facing all kinds of turmoil brought by the Internet to the film industry, he said that people who really know how to make movies are unmoved.

When Chen Guofu was a producer, he always kept an all-inclusive attitude. He could control the big battle of hundreds of millions of investments, and he could also promote some artistic attempts at a small cost. Many people will think that he is in the actuarial market on the one hand and sticking to the literary pursuit of this Taiwan Province director on the other, but Chen Guofu himself doesn’t think so. He said, there are big things to do, and small things to do. From a psychological point of view, there should be no separation in making movies. Just like the Youth Class he made this time, others thought it didn’t sell well, but he thought his film was "the most commercial". He said that business was not an intention, but a result, and it was not the creator’s decision at all.

1905 Movie Network: When did you notice Xiao Yang and his story?

Chen Guofu: I asked him to cut a preview. I have never met this person before. After cutting, I asked him to meet him. I asked him if I asked you to cut a Xiaogang Feng movie. He said if you dare, I will. That’s how we met. In fact, he didn’t cut any long films before that.

1905 Movie Network: Later, he talked to you about his own experience before he wanted to make "Youth Class" into a movie?

Chen Guofu: Yes, I talked to him about this topic when he was cutting my hair. Sometimes he stopped to have a rest and chat. I asked him about his schooling experience, and he said that he was in a juvenile class. I said what is a juvenile class? I haven’t heard of it. He explained it to me. I think this is very strange. How can there be such a thing? He just has a tangled expression on his face. It was not a particularly pleasant experience for him, I feel. Later, he wanted to be a director and film. I said, why don’t you shoot the juvenile class? He said there was nothing to shoot. I said that if I am interested, it means that many people will be interested. This is how it started.

1905 Movie Network: What kind of movie do you think of Juvenile Class?

Chen Guofu: It is still a youth film, a youth growth film. Of course, when I mentioned Youth Class, I didn’t know which direction he would go. I was just instinctively curious about such a subject. I would like to see it. We are always curious about genius, which is a spectacle. Movies want all kinds of wonders. Later, he wrote a few characters for me to see, that is, Fang Houzheng, Wang Dafa, Mike, Wu Wei and Teacher Zhou Zhiyong, whom we see in the movie now. After he wrote these characters, I was sure that there was a movie here. Because I’ve been trying different things, it’s normal for me to try a different theme or not to follow the fashion. I’ve never been in such a rush in my film-making experience. It’s not surprising to me. I’m willing to bet anyone that it is the most commercial film in the same period.

1905 Movie Network: What is its commercial performance?

Chen Guofu: That’s what I said just now, that is, if there’s a theme that I’m so curious to see realized, there must be a large group of people who think the same way, because I’m a high-standard audience, and I don’t go to the cinema a few times a year. If I can pass my pass, I should be able to pass many people’s pass. Isn’t this business? Because business is not an intention, but a result, that is, some people go to see it, many people go to see it, and the film is recycled or even profitable, that is business. Business doesn’t mean that I want to make a commercial film. The result is business.

1905 Movie Network: You have supervised such big productions as Di Renjie and Ghost Blowing Lights, and also supervised such a small cost. What is the difference in mentality when doing these two things?

Chen Guofu: Many colleagues may not believe me when I say this, but when I choose a theme, I don’t think much about the consequences. My standard is the standard I just said. Even "Turn the Mountain" or "Starry Sky" will still be brought up for discussion with me after so many years, which shows that it is not a failed work, but a work remembered by people. So that’s my only criterion. I just want to make something that can stay. Some things that can stay were particularly popular at that time, and some may not be appreciated until many years later, but it doesn’t matter to me. Therefore, my mood is very close, that is, no matter what kind of movie or what theme it is, I must have high enthusiasm, because you have to realize it from the idea of a movie, and finally you have to promote it. The process is very long and hard, and you often feel that you are struggling with it with your life. If you have a little utilitarian purpose, I think this thing is very hard to do. You might as well sell something. I think, to sell insurance or something, you don’t have to worry about that thing when you go home. How much I can do today, I will have a complete rest when I go home today. But it’s not in our line of work. You work 24 hours a day. Sometimes you dream about whether the shot is taken well, whether the cycle is completed, and so on, so I just believe that voice.

Having been deeply involved in the mainland market for more than ten years, Chen Guofu has witnessed every step of the film marketization in China. As a literary film creator who was born as a film critic, Chen Guofu said: The drive of interests is not an original sin, and the buzzwords can also become the theme after dinner. In the era of Internet companies’ unbridled clamor, Chen Guofu stubbornly maintained a kind of literati integrity, and his general attitude was — — Let’s have a lively discussion, because you are at a loss, so you must always find some topics to talk about, even if you can’t find any serious way out, at least you can alleviate your confusion. I have to say, this kind of self-restraint posture is really awesome.

1905 Movie Network: Now everyone is talking about big data. Are you still so intuitive? Is it a bit capricious?

Chen Guofu: I am really out of date. Of course, I can also say modestly that I haven’t learned those things. Every time I see a noun or a concept appear frequently, I will think and reflect, that is, whether I haven’t kept pace with the times. But I don’t know, maybe I am a big data myself. I think that I have accumulated some experience. I have seen many movies and worked in many different movies. I have made countless attempts, some of which are successful and some are not so successful. These will accumulate a certain concept of data on me. Moreover, this industry is highly gambling. I don’t quite believe that any movie is guaranteed to be successful after careful calculation.

1905 Movie Network: Is your work influenced by the Internet?

Chen Guofu: I am personally influenced by the Internet to a certain extent, because I don’t watch DVDs anymore, but I watch movies online. I watch all the movie previews and promotional materials online, but I don’t watch much. This is a change in my specific life. And it will also change my taste in movies, and my aesthetics will be affected a little. However, our industry always comes back to tell stories, no matter how powerful this platform has become, the concept of movie ticket sales, the increase in the number of cinema screens, the rise of third-and fourth-tier cities, etc., no matter how to make this element more and more complicated, this calculation is becoming more and more difficult, but you just want to come back. Our story is to tell a story, and you just want to tell a good story and then have a convection with the audience. That happened in the cinema. It really didn’t happen in your prior marketing activities. Marketing activities can fool the audience into it, but you can’t guarantee that the audience will get the most full and wonderful experience in the cinema. What we have done is still the most fundamental. This has not changed for more than 100 years. Since the invention of the film, this thing has not changed. You just want to surprise the audience, move the audience, make them laugh and make them feel a little happy in the cinema.

1905 Movie Network: Just like everyone likes to say that the Internet subverts movies now, isn’t it a bit alarmist?

Chen Guofu: That can be said, that is, in any case, we always have some topics after dinner. Another important thing is that our colleagues don’t know how to do this industry most of the time, and they have no idea. When they have no idea, they have to grasp some concepts to summarize and explain, and then there will be a bit of a rush inside for a while, because people who know how to do movies are unmoved.

1905 Movie Network: Do you think there is any progress in the mainland market in recent years? Are there any places that are still very troublesome?

Chen Guofu: Both. There must be progress, because after the market becomes bigger, interests will drive people to exert their creativity. This is an unchangeable law, and this is a very economic thing. The unsatisfied place is that it will take time. Everything has a process. China’s films are developing so fast that many people are very anxious and flustered, and they are always afraid of missing something, but it is impossible to make a good film in such a mood. As I said just now, because every project of yours takes a long time, if you always have that kind of mood without grabbing this one, you can’t tell the audience a good story. It’s all normal. I’m still optimistic about this enthusiasm caused by the enlargement of the market and the increase of interests, because sometimes the motivation of people, the motivation of people’s creation and the motivation of people’s hard work come from interests, and I accept this development quite frankly.

After becoming a gold medal producer, more and more people began to talk to him about the market and economy, as if the label of his businessman temperament was becoming more and more obvious. However, some fans still expect him to be a director himself and make some works like personals, instead of making wedding dresses for other directors blindly. However, Chen Guofu himself has been blurring the concepts of these two positions. He feels that no matter what title you hang on the subtitles, there is no difference in the way you invest in making movies.

1905 Movie Network: Is the investment in a movie like Juvenile Class large or small in your experience?

Chen Guofu: It’s average, that is to say, although it’s not a movie like a stand-up super-first-line star, it has to ensure that all the technical content, all the stories and all the details of the performance are in place, and you have to pay a certain price for this. It is also very important that it should meet an industrial standard, which is guaranteed to be achieved in all the projects I participated in. That is, whether I do Di Renjie, Ghost Blowing Lights, or Youth Class, it must meet this standard.

1905 Movie Network: Because "Youth Class" is Xiao Yang’s first work, you also said before that different directors get along in different ways when making movies. What is it like for Xiao Yang?

Chen Guofu: I have a tacit understanding with him, so the cooperative relationship is very different from that of other directors, not because he is a new director, but because I have worked with him for so many years, and I know the roots well, and the tacit understanding is very high, and communication is barrier-free. Sometimes the experience of cooperation is so pleasant that I have a little doubt whether we will screw this thing up, because you know that sometimes it takes some contradictions, some anxiety and some disputes to make good things, but I have nothing to do with him, so I am satisfied with the result, and I am still happy with the process. This is rare.

1905 Movie Network: When you face such a new director, will you feel some pressure for his future?

Chen Guofu: No matter what director I face, my pressure exists, because I just don’t allow the result of my work to be a failure, so there will be pressure. This is a responsibility and of course a sense of honor. In fact, I don’t regard them as new directors. This factor is unlikely to exist in the process of work. On the contrary, they will remind me that I am not very experienced in this field. What do you think should be done? The director who may have made several plays is embarrassed to mention it. I am embarrassed to mention that his loss is not my loss, because his loss is that he may not get more experience because of his feelings. The new director is better in this respect because he always expects you to give him all kinds of nutrients and give him all kinds of more efficient directions. I am also good at cooperating with such a director with psychological quality, not necessarily the relationship between the old and the new, but because he is willing to open himself up, just for the good results.

1905 Movie Network: Do you regard producer as one of your main occupations?

Chen Guofu: The outside world often asks me this question, but it’s a question that I don’t usually think about. It’s just that when things come, I’m attracted. Sometimes it’s because of emotional factors, sometimes it’s because of the theme, and sometimes it’s because I imagine that the result is particularly exciting, so I’m very forgetful. I didn’t calculate which producer is, which I should direct, and how I should plan in the future. I’m a step-by-step person.

Special topic: encirclement and suppression of mobile phone network pornography

　　Since the launch of the special campaign of nine ministries and commissions to crack down on obscene pornography and vulgar information on the Internet and mobile media, the public security organs have stepped up their efforts to crack down on illegal and criminal activities of obscene pornography on the Internet, and there have been new trends in pornographic activities on the Internet. Most servers of pornographic websites have moved overseas, and at the same time, domestic pornographic activities have gradually been secretly transferred to online services such as QQ groups and blogs. Recently, the police in Beijing, Xuzhou, Jiangsu, Yantai, Shandong and Shenyang, Liaoning have cracked a number of major cases of online obscenity and pornography, which have dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of criminals and effectively purified the online environment.

　　1. The police in Jiangsu and other places successfully cracked the case of overseas "Sex Bar sex8" website spreading obscene articles for profit. In December 2009, it was found in the work of the network police detachment of Xuzhou Municipal Bureau of Jiangsu Province that some people in this city participated in the management of overseas "Sex Bar sex8" Chinese obscene pornographic websites. The website is suspected of spreading obscene and pornographic information to China by recruiting moderators and developing members, and gaining illegal benefits through bank transfer and online payment. After preliminary verification, the website has 8 large sections, 22 sub-sections, 124 sub-sections, 3.32 million registered members, 2,400 VIP members, 800,000 theme posts and 6.4 million follow-up posts.

After further investigation, the police investigating the case found out the internal organizational structure and system of the website, identified more than 30 major domestic managers, involving 23 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) such as Jiangsu, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Henan, Hubei and Shandong, and identified more than 50,000 obscene pictures, more than 1,500 articles and more than 1,300 movies. On January 14th, the Ministry of Public Security made unified arrangements, and more than 300 policemen from more than 50 arrest teams in 23 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) successively carried out arrest operations, and successively arrested 81 criminal suspects including domestic moderator Li. After trial, it was found that the overseas "sex bar" obscene pornographic website made profits by collecting VIP members. The website has 2400 VIP members, and the charging standard is,The quarterly VIP is RMB 238, the semi-annual VIP is RMB 398, and the annual VIP is RMB 796, all of which are transferred through the ICBC account. At the same time, the "Sex Bar" website gives 300 yuan to 1,500 RMB per month for 37 managers above the super moderator level of the website.

　　Up to now, the arrest work of public security organs in some provinces and cities is still in progress, and 62 suspects have been criminally detained according to law, and the relevant situation is under further investigation.

　　Second, Beijing police successfully cracked three cases of using blogs to spread obscene and pornographic information. Recently, the Network Security Department of Beijing Public Security Bureau, together with the network security departments and criminal investigation departments of Haidian Branch, Fengtai Branch and Chaoyang Branch, cracked three consecutive cases of using blogs to spread obscene and pornographic information and arrested three suspects.

　　On December 15th, 2009, Beijing Public Security Bureau received a report from netizens, which reflected that there was obscene and pornographic content in the content of a Netease blog. After receiving the alarm, the Network Security Department of Beijing Public Security Bureau attached great importance to it, immediately checked the alarm materials and fixed relevant evidence. After investigation, the "Netease" blog did contain some obscene and pornographic content, so Netease was ordered to close the blog according to law. At the same time, after further investigation, the investigators found that the content of the blog quoted the content of other blogs many times, and three of them, named xiaozhangzuo’s blog, sexyw’s blog and caoyuemei12345’s blog, contained a lot of obscene and pornographic content. The police quickly used technical means to obtain evidence from the above blogs remotely, and all of them reached the standard of criminal filing after identification. According to the analysis of three blogs involved in the case, the location of the suspects was locked, and the Network Security Department of Beijing Public Security Bureau quickly set up a task force with Haidian Branch, Fengtai Branch and Chaoyang Branch to arrest them. On January 8, 11 and 15, 2010, the suspects Zuo (male, 33 years old, from Yinchuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region), Zhang (male, 26 years old, from Shangqiu City, Henan Province) and Shan (male, 40 years old, from Tai ‘an City, Shandong Province) were arrested respectively. After interrogation, the suspect Zuo confessed that during his further study in Beijing, he collected more than 400 pornographic pictures on the Internet and posted them on his personal blog. Now he has been criminally detained by Haidian Branch. The suspect Zhang confessed that between May and December 2009,Collected more than 20 pornographic pictures on the Internet and posted them on personal blogs, which have been clicked by netizens for more than 20,000 times. Now this person has been criminally detained by Fengtai Branch. The criminal suspect Shan confessed that he posted more than 400 obscene pictures on his blog from November to December 2009, which has been clicked by netizens for more than 70,000 times. Now he has been detained by Chaoyang Branch.

　　Third, the police in Yantai, Shandong Province successfully detected the case of "Yantai Seyou Group" spreading obscene articles. Recently, the public security organs of Yantai City, Shandong Province cracked the first case of spreading obscene articles by using QQ group on the Internet in the city, smashed the criminal gang of spreading obscene articles headed by Lu Mou in one fell swoop, and arrested more than 30 criminals, effectively purifying the city’s network environment. This case is the case of using the Internet to spread obscene articles in Yantai with the largest spread, the worst influence and the largest number of people.

　　On November 16th, 2009, the network supervisor of Zhifu District, Yantai City found that someone posted in the Yantai Forum of this city to call netizens to join the QQ group "Yantai Seyou Group". With professional sensitivity, the network supervisor police realized that the QQ group might be suspected of illegal and criminal activities, and immediately launched a follow-up investigation on the QQ group. After a secret investigation, it is found that there are more than 300 links to obscene pornographic movies and more than 100 obscene pornographic pictures in the shared space of QQ group, and nearly 100 obscene pornographic pictures are published by netizens in the group every day. At the same time, the number of QQ group members has reached more than 450, which has caused a bad social impact.

　　Yantai city public security organs immediately dispatched elite police to set up a task force and started their work quickly. After more than 10 days of hard work, the police of the task force fixed the obscene electronic evidence of the QQ group. On the evening of November 26, the police of the task force carried out the arrest operation in a unified manner, arrested the first criminal of the gang, Lu, and seized two computers for committing crimes. After the trial, Lumou confessed to the fact that he founded "Yantai Seyou Group" to spread obscene and pornographic information. On September 15th, 2009, Lumou established the QQ group "Yantai Friends Group". In order to attract popularity, he renamed the QQ group "Yantai Color Friends Group" and uploaded more than 300 links to obscene and pornographic movies in the shared space of QQ group. At the same time, Lumou "promoted" someone to be a group administrator and published a large number of obscene pictures and information in the group. According to the clues, from December 2 to December 8, members of the task force went to Penglai, Fushan, Qingdao and other places to arrest 25 QQ group administrators, including Yu, Lu and Zhang. At present, Lu has been arrested by the procuratorate, and Yu and others have been criminally detained and punished by public security.

　　Fourth, the police in Shenyang, Liaoning Province successfully detected a case of using QQ group to organize prostitution.

　　On December 6, 2009, the work of the network police detachment of Shenyang Public Security Bureau in Liaoning Province found that some people used the Internet to publish information about organizing and introducing women’s prostitution activities in the QQ group named "Shenyang Nightlife". The detachment immediately organized the police to carry out a comprehensive reconnaissance work, and found that the suspect posted information about prostitutes online and conducted prostitution transactions offline. Therefore, the police handling the case adopted the way of "online and offline" encirclement and attack, collecting evidence of the suspect’s organization of prostitution on the Internet, and at the same time conducting on-the-spot reconnaissance, obtaining evidence and guarding it offline to determine the suspect’s true identity and activity track. After several weeks of continuous work, the scouts finally determined the residence places of the QQ group owners and prostitutes through the combination of network technology advantages and traditional investigation methods. From December 28, 2009, with the close cooperation of various police types, they smashed the criminal gang that used the "Shenyang Nightlife" QQ group to recruit prostitutes online and organized women’s prostitution, and arrested the main suspects, Meng Mou, and Zhang Mou and Liu Mou, who helped to shelter prostitutes. At present, Meng has been criminally detained according to law, and Zhang and Liu have been given administrative detention and detention education respectively.
