【禁闻】中国上演“卑鄙的我”

2013年12月10日时政
【新唐人2013年12月11日讯】全球火红的动画人物“小黄人”,终于可以登上中国大陆银幕了。日前大陆媒体援引业内人士的消息说,美国“环球公司”制作的全球票房火爆动画片《卑鄙的我2》,暂定于2014年1月10号在大陆上映。这部动画片第一集在2010年亮相时,遭到中共广电总局禁播,当时流传片中的人物造型之一,与中共前党魁江泽民相似,而遭中共当局封杀。如今,中共前政治局常委、中央政法委书记“周永康被捕”的同时,中共当局突然开放此片,用意为何?格外引人关注。

美国好莱坞3D动画电影《卑鄙的我》,片中可爱、搞笑又无厘头的“小黄人”,终于有机会跟大陆民众见面了。

大陆媒体引述“环球影视”的消息报导,《卑鄙的我2》,暂定于2014年1月10号在中国大陆上映。目前这部动画片已在全球收获9亿1400万美元的高票房,排名动画类影片票房成绩的第四名。

片中一群短胳膊、短腿,长得像胶囊药丸的“小黄人”,是使用变种DNA、脂肪酸加香蕉泥做成的机器人,其中,还分为单眼和双眼的。这些“小黄人”数量众多,拥有自己的语言。

2010年《卑鄙的我》没有在中国大陆上映,而《卑鄙的我2》差点又因为中共广电总局的阻挠,无缘和中国观众相见。但广电总局否认阻挠《卑鄙的我2》在中国上映,声称从未收到制片方的审查要求。

外界猜测,禁播《卑鄙的我》的原因,很可能是因为剧中人物“小黄人”的造型,太像“前中共领导人”江泽民,其中,人物动作,不管是坐着还是打招呼的姿势都像极了江泽民,而且两人的共通点都是﹕戴着招牌的粗框眼镜。

有网友说:“看这蛤蟆镜,这高腰带⋯⋯”“这应该是它不在中国内地上映的真实原因!”还有网友表示:裤子提到胸,戴着蛤蟆眼镜,形象相似就算了,片名还要叫“卑鄙的我”,实在是太放肆了!

不过,《卑鄙的我2》,在大陆公映的片名已更改为《神偷奶爸2》。

独立评论员邢天行:“因为这个片子除了形象让人联想到江泽民,同时他这个片名叫‘卑鄙的我’,它这个名字其实是点到骨头上了,所以任何敏感的东西都是不允许存在的。为甚么在这个时期解禁,至少说明了江泽民原来在中共各层面的势力已经彻底不存在了,这是一方面。同时在这个时候,广电局报出来,是不是跟周永康抓捕有关系,下一个目标是江泽民。”

最近有关中共前政治局常委、前政法委书记周永康被抓的消息,被外界炒得沸沸扬扬。

根据香港媒体整理的资料,周永康涉及的丑闻包括﹕意图将“薄熙来”推上中共总书记大位,以便自己成为“太上皇”。以及,两度指使亲信,分别以炸弹与毒针计划暗杀中共党魁习近平。另外还有﹕设计车祸害死前妻,以迎娶小他28岁的现任妻子。以及让中石油前董事长蒋洁敏在任内图利自己的长子“周滨”。并纵容兄弟姊妹在外收取钜额贿赂、接受下属性贿赂、与薄妻谷开来传奸情等。

其中传闻尤其强调“周永康企图政变”而被拿下。据美国《大纪元》新闻网报导,周永康“政变计划”是由前党魁江泽民主导。

北京艺术家、独立制片人杨伟东:“现在的局势很不明朗,习近平和江泽民他们的权力争斗,现在都在传周永康被抓了,现在官方没有证实,下面都已经传开了,可能也是一种现任领导允许进口这个片子,这也是一种政治权力争斗的结果。”

中共当局虽然还没有正式发布周永康遭调查的消息,但近来在网路上可搜寻到“周永康贪腐”的消息,这在网路言论管制严格的中国十分罕见。

与此同时,中共当局突然解禁《卑鄙的我》,外界不禁联想,下一位被双规的中共高层,会是谁?

"Despicable Me 2" to Hit Chinese Movie Theatres

The international animated little yellow people
will finally be hitting Chinese movie theatres.
State media recently cited industry sources,
that prosperous Universal Studio's box office
animation "Despicable Me 2", is scheduled for
release on January 10, 2014 in Mainland China.
The first film appeared in 2010, and was
banned by the China Radio and TV Bureau.
One of the characters was deemed similar to former
Chinese Communist Party (CCP) leader Jiang Zemin.
Currently, Zhou Yongkang, former member of the
Politburo Standing Committee, and secretary of the
Central Political and Law Commission is under arrest.

Is there another intention behind the Chinese
authorities released this film at this time?

Mainland Chinese people will soon have an
opportunity to meet the 'little yellow people'
of Hollywood 3D animation Despicable Me 2.

Mainland media citied sources from Universal Studios.

Despicable Me 2 is temporarily scheduled
for release in China on January 10, 2014.
Currently, this animation has surpassed
$914 Million in box office sales globally.
It is ranked fourth in animation box office results.

The films story portrays how the 'little yellow people',
shaped like capsule pills with short legs, are robots
made with variant DNA, fatty acids and bananas.

There are many 'little yellow people',
who also have their own language.

2010 film "Despicable Me" was banned in Mainland China.

"Despicable Me 2" almost passed by Chinese
audiences because of CCP SARFT obstruction.
SARFT denied obstructing "Despicable Me 2"
being released in China, and claimed it never
received a review request from producers.

Overseas speculation suggests the ban on Despicable
Me is likely to be due to the fact that some little yellow
people look like former Communist leader Jiang Zemin.

The sitting and greetings the character portray are most
like Jiang Zemin. They also all wear thick-framed glasses.

Some netizens commented: "Look at the glasses
with the huge lenses, and the high waistbands……"
"This could be the real reason that
it can't be released in the mainland"
"Chest high pants, wearing toad glasses, not only similar
in appearance, but the title of Despicable Me is cheeky too!"

However, the title Despicable Me 2 has been
changed to "Daddy Thief 2" in Mainland China.

Xing Tianxing, independent commentator: "It is not
only the characters remind people of Jiang Zemin.
It is also the title Despicable Me. The name is actually
crucial, and it is not allowed for sensitive reasons.
The release of the film at least suggests Jiang Zemin's
faction are becoming non-existent at all levels of the CCP.
That's the main point.
Meanwhile, the national broadcaster's release
might be related to Zhou Yongkang's arrest.
Does that mean Jiang Zemin is the next target?"

Recently, news of Zhou Yongkang arrest circulated widely.

Zhou is a former China Politburo Standing Committee
member, and Secretary of the Politics and Law Committee.

According to Hong Kong media reports, Zhou's
scandal involves the intention to elect Bo Xilai
as CCP Secretary, so he can be an 'overlord'.

Additionally, he ordered cronies and planned twice to kill
CCP leader Xi Jinping, using a bomb and a poisoned needle.
He also planned a car accident to kill his ex-wife,
in order to marry his 28-year-old current wife.
He also facilitated his son Zhou Bin to make profits
from PetroChina, with former chairman Jiang Jiemin.
He allowed his brothers and sisters to
receive large bribes, including sexual bribes.
He also reportedly committed adultery
with Bo Xilai's wife Gu Kailai.

These allegations emphasize that Zhou Yongkang's
arrest was because of his attempt at a military coup.
According to the US based The Epoch Times, Zhou's
coup plan was led by the former leader Jiang Zemin.

Yang Weidong, Beijing artist, independent
filmmaker: "The situation now is uncertain
for Jiang Zemin and Xi Jinping's struggle.
This is because Zhou Yongkang's arrest has not been
officially announced, even though it's news has spread.
Releasing the animation film might
be the result of a political struggle."

Although Chinese authorities have not officially announced
the news of investigating Zhou Yongkang, news of his
Yongkang corruption can be widely searched on the Internet.

This is rare under the strict controls within 'Chinanet'.

The Chinese authorities suddenly releasing
"Despicable Me 2" has made observers curious.
Who will be the next senior CCP
official to be detained and interrogated?
