稱電影為人民發聲 「杜琪峰bot」微博被封 內媒料9部新作或遭禁
Director Johnnie To recently attended a press conference at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival, where a reporter asked about the significance of films. He said films were often the first target of dictators, and that “all countries and peoples around the world striving for freedom should support films.” To’s remarks sparked widespread discussion, but netizens discovered yesterday that the “Du Qifeng bot” Weibo account, which reposted his messages and remarks, had suddenly been blocked. According to mainland Chinese media reports, nine films he directed or produced may be unable to secure a theatrical release.
