Hu Weidong is indeed not proficient in literature and art, but after all, he is a traverser, and he knows what successes and mistakes he made in this regard in the first 30 years of New China in history, so he actually still has some ideas in his heart, anyway, Hu Weidong knows that he is only temporarily in charge, and he will definitely be transferred after the development of nuclear weapons enters a critical stage, so that he will not make many mistakes because of his low professional level. On the contrary, because of the incomparable foresight of the traverser, it can provide a lot of valuable guiding opinions for the literary and artistic undertakings of New China.

In Hu Weidong's view, if the literary and artistic works created in the first 30 years of New China in history are of average quality, they are definitely far better than the last 30 years when divine dramas were flying all over the sky. For example, Li Xiangyang, who held a gun with a crosshair in one hand and a gun without a crosshair, was the correct way for the guerrillas and martial arts workers behind enemy lines to use two shell guns with both hands during the Anti-Japanese War.

One of the two guns filed off the crosshair, in order to be able to pull out as quickly as possible, so that in the event of an emergency, it is better if it is a fully automatic "twenty shots", the instantaneous firepower is comparable to a submachine gun, and the critical moment can often turn the situation around. The other gun that does not file the crosshair is usually taken to the forehand, so that the accuracy of the shot can be ensured after the two sides enter the firing phase.

After the reform and opening up, the commercialization of literary and artistic works, especially film and television dramas, has become increasingly obvious, rather than focusing on making good films for the audience. The quality of the works began to decline, and later there was garbage like anti-Japanese dramas that insulted the IQ of the masses, but although their ratings were not high, they won at a very low cost (can they be low in dialogue?). The profit margin is actually very good, so on the one hand, the audience scolds it to the blood, and on the other hand, similar works continue to be filmed

However, in the first 30 years of the new China, the average quality of literary and artistic works was extremely high, and at the same time, the needs of the masses of the whole country for literary and artistic works were not met at all, so that in the early days of reform and opening up, some foreign garbage films and television films were very popular after they were introduced, and the hunger and thirst of the masses can be seen.

This is the case. The reason is actually quite simple. In the first 30 years, although the quality rate was extremely high, too much emphasis was placed on quality, resulting in a serious shortage of quantity, for example, the old "Journey to the West", which only filmed 25 episodes in history, actually took 6 years. At that time, it was already after the reform and opening up. Small quantities are one thing. Fewer types is another story. No matter how good-looking it is, if you appreciate the same type of work repeatedly, you will always be aesthetically tired

Therefore, Hu Weidong's opinion is simple. It is to find ways to increase production and diversity on the premise of ensuring the quality of literary and artistic works as much as possible. The specific method is to divide literary and artistic works into two categories, those that carry forward the main theme and those that are adapted from classics such as the four famous works should take the route of high-quality works, and the criteria for examination and approval should be as strict as possible, so as not to become "one powder is better than ten blacks" or insult the classics, and the rest should be market-oriented, and the examination and approval can be relatively relaxed, so as to speed up the production of literary and artistic works and meet the people's needs for the number and type of literary and artistic works

However, Hu Weidong, who is well aware of history, still set several red lines for the latter, such as the approval of works that promote slave culture must not be approved, etc., in order to prevent the abnormal phenomenon of braided plays in later generations in history in this time and space, which are deeply appreciated by Taizu. There are naturally differences, but because Hu Weidong will immediately ask the central government for instructions when he encounters those issues that may cause controversy, it has not caused any serious consequences, anyway, he is just helping to manage it temporarily, as long as he does not make serious mistakes, no one can do anything to him

In fact, strictly speaking, Hu Weidong's greatest influence on the film industry of New China can be traced back to before he temporarily took charge of the Ministry of Culture. As early as the end of the Anti-Japanese War, Hu Weidong took the time to write some movie scripts, so that the classic old movies in history "Plain Guerrillas", "Railway Guerrillas", "Tunnel Warfare", "Mine Warfare" and "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" came out in advance, and these films were released when the Anti-Japanese War had just ended, so they could resonate with the audience more than in history, and the box office was extremely hot, and the state-run film studios quickly seized the dominance of the market in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and greatly strengthened the cultural propaganda work of the Red Party. At the same time, it also had a direct impact on the operation of private film companies, thus promoting public-private partnerships in the film industry.

In addition, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the U.S. government introduced these five films from China in order to motivate the military and civilians to fight Japan to the end, which caused great repercussions, making the heroic images of Li Xiangyang and other movie characters spread to the other side of the ocean, and "Guerrillas of the Plains" even won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film that was established in advance in 1943

It is worth mentioning that although Hu Weidong advocated that the cultural industry should be placed under the supervision of the party and the government, he opposed the management of too strictly, so he persuaded Taizu to say: "Human beings have a rebellious mentality, and if we read too many literary and artistic works of the same type, we will also be aesthetically fatigued, if our literary and artistic works are all to carry forward the main theme, on the one hand, their propaganda effect will become worse and worse, on the other hand, the masses will only want to see more and more works that we are not allowed to publish, and when the time comes, hostile shili will take advantage of this to make trouble, and the consequences will be very serious." On the contrary, if we allow some works with incorrect views to be distributed in China, the masses will have to see them, and it will not be so rare."

"What's more, the examination and approval power is in the hands of the party, which can ensure that the toxicity of the poisonous weeds will not be too great, and that it can make the cadres and the masses immune like a vaccine without causing great harm, which is much better than directly facing the big poisonous weeds thrown by foreigners without immunity. And if it is completely banned, it is like raising flowers in a greenhouse, how to cultivate the next generation that can withstand wind and rain? Hu Weidong's persuasion eventually had an effect, and it did not only affect the field of cultural propaganda

In addition to literature and art, the Ministry of Sports was also renamed the Ministry of Sports because of Hu Weidong's suggestion, which consists of three departments: sports competition, intellectual competition and other competitions

In this way, it can not only take precautions and pave the way for the emergence and development of new sports such as e-sports in the future, but also add a lot of vacancies, and provide opportunities for some old cadres who were not qualified for local or enterprise leadership positions and were brushed off, but who made great contributions before the liberation, and can be regarded as one of the few proposals by Hu Weidong that everyone is satisfied with (to be continued...... to be continued)
