Zhang Neixian's 100% Strawberry

The independent DV by a university graduate has been deleted from Youku but is still showing on Tudou (and also on Youtube). Despite the tribute to Japanese adult video at the beginning, the rest of the film (forthcoming) isn't related except for the comic that it's based on. The following is an explanation from the director, and then a transcript of the film.

Because I am worried about the many problems that could happen afterward, I have to say something. You can tell from looking at the movie poster, much is hidden in the movie, it's just that you don't know it yet. If 100% Strawberry is just a simple porn movie, then there's no point for me to stay in this field. I don't need to worry about censorship, because there is nothing extreme in the film. Also don't tell me that I am poisoning youth, kids nowadays mature very early, look what they are showing on TV these days? They don't need me as a channel to be poisoned.

This film is adapted from a Japanese comic. As for an independent DV film, it's obvious that I don't have the rights. But it's impossible the film will be shown and sell tickets, and it's completely unrelated to infringement of the rights. I am a newly graduated student. A few days ago a Japanese journalist (the name was Katsumata Ayako, but I've forgotten the name of the magazine) came to interview me about the last film I did, but she saw the trailer and other information on my computer. She wasn't unhappy in any way, but thought that this was pretty amusing, she also took the trailer back to Japan. I think that we should have the mentality of a "big country:" If the Japanese don't have a problem with it, why should we feel inferior about it?

In fact this film doesn't have much to do with the original work, it's just that the inspiration comes from 100% Strawberry. I think we should respect the original work but giving it due in the film. If I want to, I can edit the film into something more fly, and change its name, you won't know that there is an original work. How many people do this in China? How many films and TV soap operas, cartoons, music is copied and plagiarized? Only some it's obvious but most people can't tell. I don't have such creative talent, I want to be an honest xx. Apart from 100% Strawberry, I have also imitated a lot more, in the end you'll all know what it is. I like Japanese comics, and I think that the creativity of the Japanese are at this moment in time is more ahead by a few years, this was caused by the system we were under. Even if you are xx, you still have to recognize this point right? My ability is still far from it but I hope that one day I will have enough ability, and will have the opportunity to formally adapt a Japanese comic, and then sell it back to the Japanese, and happily earn money from the Japanese. I think this would be the respectful thing to do.

[SINGS] Refuse pornography. Refuse drugs. Refuse pornography, gambling and drugs.

I want to "high!"

Love City (a download site for pornography) is so annoying!

+ Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet.
+ David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
