My rearview mirror can change my life

Seeing that Shen Fei insisted on going to the film library first, the editor-in-chief took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the top of his head.

Just in middle age, he has a Mediterranean haircut. Just a layer of sweat appeared, and it looked even more oily.

The editor-in-chief still looked a little panicked, but under Shen Fei's determined eyes, he regained some confidence.

Still nodded, leading Shen Fei to the film library.

Like most domestic TV stations, C6 TV uses Data Tape Libraries and Optical Disc Storage Systems as media storage solutions for long-term archiving and backup.

These storage media have higher storage densities to safely preserve large amounts of movie and program content with the reliability of long-term data preservation.

Therefore, the programs of TV stations have a high resolution and high degree of restoration that are incomparable to other channels.

Located on the fifth floor of this TV station, the film library is a deserted and gloomy place.

Like a large library, an astonishing number of high-definition video tapes, CDs, and copies of films are stored in rows and rows of shelves.

The editor-in-chief introduced Shen Fei to the contents stored on each shelf in turn.

As a senior movie fan, Shen Fei came to this place as if he had come to home.

Leaving aside the first two shelves full of copies of various variety shows purchased in recent years, he walked straight towards the shelves with nostalgic classic videotapes inside.

The shelves are located in the deepest part of the library, and the packaging of the tapes on them is very old, and the handwriting on some of the covers is already a little blurred.

But Shen Fei could easily recognize them through the scribbled handwriting.

One is "Pirate Ninja", which was one of Shen Fei's favorite animations when he was in school. Seeing it, Shen Fei seemed to have returned to that carefree time, and Shen Fei was still the child who was addicted to sailing adventures.

There is also "Slam Dunk", which was Shen Fei's idol when he was a teenager. Shen Fei once followed it crazily, and he didn't lose an episode. Even now, Shen Fei will revisit it from time to time and feel the bloody world.

Shen Fei found some video tapes of movies on the shelf next to him, including "The Godson", "The True Story of Jenny", "Charlotte's Redemption" and other Shen Fei's favorite classics. Seeing this, Shen Fei was even a little ecstatic.

Shen Fei reached for another pile of videotapes and found something unexpected.

Stored there are some cult films, the so-called niche classics. Although these movies may not be well-known to the general public, they all have their own unique charm and unique fan base.

For example, "The Devil of the Flesh". This is a typical cult movie, its content is direct, and there is a deep exploration of social Xi. Shen Fei still remembers one of the lines: "At my age, you are either ravaged by life or ravaged by life."

These films are very familiar to Shen Fei, but he is very curious that the TV station will collect such film and video tapes. Could it be that these movies have actually purchased the copyrights?

There are also films such as "Five Beauties" and "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance", although they cannot be regarded as mainstream films, but they have a deep fan base. Shen Fei even found a film like "The Frog at the Bottom of the Well" that deeply reflects on human nature and social reality.

Shen Fei thought in his heart that the value of these niche works should not be ignored, but should be cherished by us, because they all have their own unique thinking and depth. Our audience has the right to engage with these diverse voices and to the wider art world. The TV station should be the stage where these works can be shown, not just those bad movies that have no depth, only seek eyeballs, and only seek profits.

Looking at those good films that were sealed in the dust, Shen Fei became more and more determined to Shen Fei.

"We used to have so many films, why have I never seen them on TV?"

Shen Fei looked back at the editor-in-chief, he looked a little cramped, Shen Fei couldn't help but feel funny.

The editor-in-chief was surprised that the director didn't know about these common-sense things.

However, Shen Fei is now the director, and the editor-in-chief has no choice but to patiently explain them one by one.

"We brought in these films in the late '90s and early 2000s. At that time, the film market was just starting, and everyone was very curious about these new things in foreign countries. The editor-in-chief explained, "But then the policy changed, and the introduction of foreign films began to be strictly restricted, so although these films were introduced, they were never broadcast."

He watched those obscure but high-quality movies, and couldn't help but feel a sense of helplessness in his heart. Television should be a platform that provides rich and diverse culture and information, rather than a stage that is manipulated by the interests of a few.

After visiting the film library, Shen Fei looked at those good films that were sealed in the dust, and felt full of anger in his heart. These are all good works that the audience loves, but they are ignored by others, which is simply a desecration of art.

And those unscrupulous programs, boring variety shows, and those films that will only give the audience a headache occupy most of the space here.

Shen Fei couldn't help but clench his fists and said to himself: "Don't we have a lot of good films to broadcast, why do we want to show bad movies?"

The editor-in-chief couldn't help but be a little nervous when he saw him suddenly speak so arrogantly.

He cautiously asked, "Director, do you have any instructions?"

Shen Fei retracted his thoughts and looked at him, his eyes full of determination. "Pick them all out, and we're ready to play. "This is our responsibility as a television station, for our audience, and for the art of film."

"Our station has always been committed to showing excellent movies...... But these films either didn't pass the censorship or were out of fashion. They are not very suitable for my broadcast. The editor-in-chief said hesitantly: "I don't know what you mean by ...... director"

Shen Fei said his thoughts.

"First of all, I'm going to show these classics in prime time. He looked at the editor-in-chief and saw his reaction.

The editor-in-chief's face immediately turned pale, and he seemed to understand what Shen Fei had just said.

"Then, I'm going to show horror and cult movies at midnight. He continued, continuing to observe the editor-in-chief's reaction.

The editor-in-chief's eyes widened, he began to break out in a cold sweat, his throat moved, but he didn't say anything.

"Finally, for children's program time, I would like to show some classic excellent foreign animations. Shen Fei finished smiling, looking at the editor-in-chief's reaction: "For example, "Pirate Ninja". I love this one. The

editor-in-chief's face turned pale, he looked a little weak, his face was covered with cold sweat, he looked shocked, his eyes looked at Shen Fei, as if he was expecting Shen Fei to say that it was a joke.

But Shen Fei didn't, he continued to stare at him, waiting for his reaction.

"Director, if you do this, the relevant departments will definitely not sit idly by. The editor-in-chief looked very worried, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Shen Fei looked at his expression and understood his concern.

The editor-in-chief fears that the authorities will penalize them for violating the ban, which will cost their TV stations dearly.

However, Shen Fei knew all this.

He just wanted to take advantage of the time when he was the director of the station to make a big fuss about the TV station.

It would be better for the departments concerned to investigate? It would be

better to do a good job of investigating the good deeds done by the director of the Taiwan Stage.

Now Shen Fei can't wait to send the director to prison.

However, Shen Fei was ready to make some superficial statements on his lips.

He was ready to borrow the director's mouth to say some high-sounding words to dispel the editor-in-chief's concerns.

Although the director doesn't have any useful skills, these useless pieces of soup are a set of words.

"Only by bravely meeting the challenges can we change the status quo and truly serve the audience and let the audience enjoy high-quality film and television programs. Shen Fei said solemnly. "I know what you're worried about, but, we're doing the right thing, and we owe that responsibility for the sake of our audience. The

editor-in-chief looked at him with confusion and worry in his eyes.

"But, director, you know, it's all banned. We can't do it in violation of the law. The editor-in-chief's tone was filled with nervousness and fear.

"I know it's all banned, but we also know that these are excellent works that deserve to be broadcast and deserve to be enjoyed by the audience. Shen Fei said firmly, his eyes sharp, and his tone full of determination.

"Director, I understand your thoughts, but it is too risky to do so, and we will be investigated and dealt with by the relevant departments. The editor-in-chief's tone was full of worry, and he looked at Shen Fei with fear in his eyes. "Even if you're not afraid yourself, you have to think about us, right?"

Shen Fei sighed lightly, looking at the editor-in-chief in front of him who was as nervous as a string, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Okay, I understand." We're not going to show the animation for now, but Midnight Theater has to have a new choice.

Shen Fei observed the editor-in-chief's expression for a moment.

The editor-in-chief breathed a sigh of relief, but his doubts did not diminish in the slightest.

"So director, what do you want to play?"

Shen Fei took the records in the current film library, glanced at the list in his hand, looked up at the editor-in-chief, and read out one name after another.

"Teacher of the Mountain Village", "The Road to the Underworld" ......

" The editor-in-chief's eyes widened, as if he was looking at a madman, his fingers trembled and pointed at Shen Fei, and he stammered, "These... These films... It's all... It's all unpassed... We can't play it..."

What about 'Midnight Call'?" Shen Fei gritted his teeth and insisted.

"Definitely not...... the editor-in-chief's answer was almost reflexive, and he didn't hesitate at all.

Shen Fei said several more names, but the editor-in-chief's reaction was like a wave drum.

"Sure enough, can't you?" Shen Fei let out a long sigh.

Seeing that the director had the intention of giving up, the editor-in-chief seemed to let go of the big stone in his heart, and the fear and tension in his eyes gradually lessened, and he returned to a slightly natural expression.

Shen Fei's gaze wandered around the room, and suddenly stopped on a corner shelf with a box of straps on it. He reached out and gently picked up the box of straps.

"Can this be broadcast?" asked Shen Fei.

The editor-in-chief didn't react for a while, looked at the strap in Shen Fei's hand, and then looked at the list, he nodded, "This...... It's a little subtle......

""Oops, what are you nervous about. It's just an anti-Japanese drama. Shen Fei picked up the tape and blew the floating ash on it: "What are you nervous about?"

"Oh yes," the editor-in-chief took out the handkerchief again and wiped his forehead: "What's this...... Although forcibly speaking, this is also an anti-Japanese drama. But I can't guarantee ......"

Shen Fei patted the editor-in-chief on the shoulder. "No one will pursue whether an anti-Japanese drama is healthy or unhealthy, right? The

editor-in-chief of "That ......" was still a little hesitant.

Shen Fei raised his head, stared sharply at the editor-in-chief, and said loudly, "Just broadcast this! I will take all the responsibility!" The editor-in-chief's

eyes widened and looked at Shen Fei.

But he knew that this director was no longer someone he could question at will. He nodded and answered.

"Okay, Director. He said.

"Remember, if anyone asks, just say that I asked for it!" Shen Fei said: "Fill in my name on every form!

The editor-in-chief suddenly grinned.

Shen Fei looked at him, not knowing why he suddenly became so optimistic and confident.

The editor-in-chief showed a thoughtful smile and looked at Shen Fei with a completely different look. "I suddenly understood! You should have told me sooner...... So that I can serve you better.

Shen Fei didn't know what the editor-in-chief suddenly understood. But he didn't want to dive into it.

Anyway, he only has 24 hours, and after 24 hours, all the responsibility will be borne by the director.

"It's good if you understand," Shen Fei smiled slightly, and patted the editor-in-chief on the shoulder, "Let's make changes together and make this TV station better together."

After speaking, Shen Fei left the film library with him and started the next step.
