In Zhang Yimou's opinion, the army had made such a big fuss about this show.
The purpose was simple and obvious. It was naturally to promote the army.
Perhaps in the past two years, fewer young people were willing to join the army?
Or perhaps there was some reason that led to the appearance of this show.
But…
What did Lu Chen mean by asking this question?
Seeing that Lu Chen did not speak, Zhang Yimou became more and more nervous. The atmosphere in the monitoring room became more and more oppressive!
"Five years ago, there was a flood in a certain city. Under the orders of the higher-ups, our army sent a large number of troops to fight the flood.”
"The soldiers fought the flood with all their might, saving countless families and lives!”
"For this reason, some warriors even stayed there forever.”
"The army wants to publicize this matter not to take credit, but to tell the public that with the army and the country around, everyone can rest assured that we will do our best to ensure everyone's safety.”
"But it didn't work for a few days.”
" Because those few days were the wedding day of two artistes. All kinds of media outlets…"
"Overwhelming good news!"
"The army's announcement seemed to have been drowned by a flood. No one knew!”
Zhang Yimou's expression changed!
………………
Five years ago, Lu Chen had just entered the army and was still training in the recruit company.
At that time, he had already made a name for himself in the recruit company.
He was undoubtedly the first in all the assessments!
For this, he even received a commendation from the regiment headquarters. Although it was not a second-class or third-class merit, it was just a commendation.
However, this was already a very rare honor for the recruits!
One day, the army received a notice to go to a certain area to fight the flood.
There was not enough manpower, and even the new recruits were sent out.
Of course, it was to go to a relatively safe place. The dangerous ones were naturally the veterans!
However, in the face of natural disasters, there was no safe place!
On that day, Lu Chen's glory was boundless.
Because he had saved more than a dozen families. Without a doubt, he had made a contribution!
But…
He also saw his class monitor fall into the torrent in front of him and be instantly drowned!
He shouted! He cried loudly! He collapsed!
The squad leader was the person who treated him the best in the recruit company! It was his class monitor!
However, in front of a natural disaster, an individual was too small and not worth mentioning at all.
Even he couldn't save his class monitor from the torrent!
Later, he won the second prize for saving people.
However, holding the small and heavy second prize, his heart was very heavy!
Because he had lost a respectable class monitor!
If it was possible, he would rather not have this second-class merit!
If he could, he would rather sacrifice himself!
That day, he brought the class monitor's letter back to the class monitor's hometown.
The people who participated in the flood control did not leave anything behind in order to avoid accidents.
Therefore, before they set off, they would write a letter in advance.
Which meant…
Will!
But when he returned to the class monitor's hometown, what did he see?
The class monitor's old house had been forcibly demolished, leaving only a lonely old lady sitting in front of the ruins.
It was said that a certain superstar was getting married and wanted to demolish all the houses around here!
He would turn it into a manor and give it to his wife as a gift.
The internet was filled with good news, envy, good man, and so on.
Martyrs who fought against the flood? The house was forcefully demolished?
No one paid attention to it, no one cared.
In their eyes, there were only rich celebrities, not soldiers.
That day, Lu Chen made a move and injured a few people. Later, he was even locked up for two days.
However, he never regretted it. He even felt that he had been too lenient!
………………
"Three years ago, during a disaster relief operation, the army sent out airborne troops to save the people.”
"The funny thing is, no one cares about it either.”
"If I remember correctly, that day was the concert of a certain young idol singer. Everyone was talking about snatching tickets.”
"Also, the scandal of a certain celebrity cheating on her was only discovered in the end to be hype, earning enough attention.”
"That time, the army sacrificed twenty-five soldiers, soldiers worthy of respect!”
"But other than the army, no one remembers their achievements!”
"No one remembers their names!”
Rescue and disaster relief, flood relief.
They didn't want others to know. This wasn't their goal.
However, didn't the events of the past few years make people feel a little disappointed?
The warriors did not receive the glory they deserved!
Not to mention the hardships of the army, and not to mention how many elite soldiers the army had sacrificed.
What about the commoners?
Who cared about the safety of the people who were tortured by the natural disaster?
No!
All the topics were about celebrities, scandals, and hype!
A certain celebrity was holding a concert, and a certain person was filming.
So-and-so cheated on her, and the facial wash recommended by so-and-so was really useful!
The media resources were occupied by such a messy topic.
They did not play the role that the media should play at all!
Entertainment to death! How lamentable!
…………
"Last year, the mountains were sealed by heavy snow!"
"There are more than 100 households in a village, and more than 200 people are trapped.”
"Receiving orders from the higher-ups, the troops will send soldiers to rescue them.”
"The conditions are limited. The troops have to bring a lot of equipment and only a small portion of food.”
"It was them who gave their rations to the people and carried the snow and hunger themselves!”
"In the end, all the civilians were rescued. One soldier froze to death and three starved to death!”
"But…"
"No one knows!"
"I remember that day was a press conference for a certain celebrity's new movie.”
"Director, I think it's Zhang Yimou. Director Zhang, are you right?”
Zhang Yimou's expression changed drastically!
Last year, he had indeed attended the press conference for the new movie. In order to promote the movie in advance, he had used a lot of resources.
At the same time, it also occupied a lot of media coverage.
However, he did not know anything about the snow sealing the mountain!
There was no news at all!
A month later, he heard someone mention it.
The mountains were sealed off by the snow, and the troops rescued them.
Since that was the case, not many people paid attention to it.
They didn't even pay attention to how many soldiers were sacrificed to save the civilians.
Zhang Yimou's face was pale. He lowered his head and did not dare to look into Lu Chen's eyes.
Lu Chen approached Zhang Yimou step by step.
"Now tell me, the purpose of this variety show…"
" What the f * ck is this!?"
