Director’s Legend

Chapter 154: 【Lecture】

"Sister Mei, please contact the reporter. I want to hold a press conference." Shao Shuaijun said lightly.

Yi Jianmei said anxiously: "A Jun, you have to think about it. This time, the older generations in many circles have been out. Although I am also very angry, I must learn to be patient when I should bear it. In fact, deal with it coldly. Time has passed, is it a bit wrong to speak on the table?"

"Sister Mei, I know your worry is that the older generation of movies has a wide network of people. But what about it, I am not unconnected now. How many people above are counting on us to feed, from distribution to theaters, Hong Kong And the United States has my company. I, Shuaijun Shao, are also a big crocodile in the entertainment industry. Others don’t know that crocodiles are eating meat when they shed tears!"

Although the mainland entertainment industry has opened up, there are still few filmmakers who can keep up with the times. Those who fall behind still occupy the moral high ground, hindering the development of Chinese film. Shao Shuaijun is not talented, and he also has the consciousness of being responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Now that he has the ability, why not change this situation.

Even if he hit his head and broke the blood, he would have to hit a hole.

It's not in vain to rebirth, walk this circle.

Soon, news spread that Shao Shuaijun was about to hold a press conference. The press conference was held as scheduled at the Nortel International Exchange Center on Women's Day on March 8. In addition to hundreds of media, many Nortel teachers and students attended this press conference, and even the Film Bureau sent several investigators to observe.

It is worth paying attention to the issue of monopoly of film arrangement.

"I am very happy to have such a multimedia friend today, and I am very grateful to Nortel for providing me with the venue. Today's press conference, I mainly want to talk about this. Before many people criticized my film "33 Days of Broken Relationship", the issue of film schedule I must first confirm that the schedule of "33 Days of Broken Love", we worked with the Film Bureau and the major theaters to draw up 38%. Afterwards, many movie theaters voluntarily asked for additional screenings, and indeed reached 50% at one time, and even some movie theaters. "33 Days of Broken Love" is shown all day.

But I don't think that I have a monopoly on film scheduling. I have never asked others to show my films. 38% of the film schedule has not exceeded the limit. Previously, there were many films that exceeded 38% of the film schedule. I also don't have the energy to convince dozens of theaters across the country to increase the number of films. The reason why I got this number is more of the reputation I have accumulated with my films.

No one does not know that Shao Shuaijun is a guarantee for any movies that are shown, and a guarantee for the box office.

They are willing to show my movie because I bring them benefits. "33 Days of Broken Relationship" is so popular, as long as you are smart, you will naturally think of adding it. This is not a monopoly, this is the charm of movies. In the first two weeks, it was hard to get a ticket for the popular movie, and countless people were hovering at the entrance of the movie theater. Do you ask the movie theater not to meet the needs of the audience?

Many people criticized me for stifling the survival of other movies. What I want to say is, why my movie can live, but other movies can't? Some people say that art films do not have a good box office, so they can't resist it. I was wondering. A bad box office means that not many people watch it, right?

What's the use of showing a movie that no one even watches?

If you are really artistic, your box office will definitely not be bad. There are many examples of art films getting good box office. Don't always blame box office failures on the subject of art films. Could it be that art means something that only three or five people understand, but others don't?

I admit that the theme of "33 Days of Broken Love" is not profound, and I will never admit that "33 Days of Broken Love" is not art. Art is not a trend. In ancient times, the popular literati used prostitutes, and everyone used it as elegance as art. Now you are breaking the law and you are a hooligan.

Therefore, I personally always believe that it is art that satisfies the spiritual pursuit of the masses, not self-righteous self-respect.

The former Tianzhuang teacher criticized me for nothing. I was curious. When I was running in Hengdian, I taught myself director knowledge. In order to study, I have watched many directors' movies, including his "Hunting Field Zaza". I watched it back and forth three times. After watching it, I wanted to give up being a director.

why?

Because I couldn't understand it, I didn't understand it after watching it three times. I thought I was too shallow and I was not worthy to be a director. Until now, the movies I made have been screened all over the world and have achieved good results, but I still don't understand what "Hunting Ground Zasa" is about. Fortunately, I didn't understand it, otherwise I wouldn't have the result today. This is the art in his mouth, art that even the director of me can't understand!

You can think about whether Chinese films need such so-called incomprehensible art films, or films that can stimulate the box office and stimulate the market. The film industry needs to feed many people. To open a movie theater is not to open a bank. They also need to sell tickets to maintain equipment, pay rent, pay wages, and support themselves.

A movie that is high in art but no one sees will make him lose money. Will he open a movie theater after a loss? No, then the film industry collapsed! A popcorn movie can make him money, allowing him to continue to invest in movie theaters. More movies are shown here, and art movies are also available. The movie industry will survive.

Therefore, don't easily start to belittle others' films. I respect the predecessors and their contributions to Chinese films. I won’t say much about the filmmakers of the older generation. They are not unfamiliar at that time.

As for the fifth generation of directors, I respect director Zhang Yimou. His "Hero" has 1.3 billion worldwide, and he fights for the face of the Chinese. "To Live" is even more a masterpiece. I respect the director Chen Kai, his "Farewell My Concubine" is a symbol of Chinese movies in my mind. There are also many directors. I respect them. For example, director Lu Chuan, "Kekexili" is in exchange for his life, and he deserves respect.

But I don't respect the director of Grange, who made "Hunting Zaza". I don't want to conspiracy. I don't want to scold him. I hope he will not scold me casually. I did not trample on art, nor did I stifle Chinese movies.

I don't want to brag, but "33 Days of Broken Relationship" has won a national box office of 300 million, which no one has ever done. I am very pleased that it is realized in my hands. I am even more pleased that this is the recognition of my film by the national audience. As a director, I tremble all over when I think about it.

Is there anything more encouraging to the director than to gain the recognition of the audience?

At the same time, this also shows that our film market is becoming more and more prosperous, and more and more people choose to go to the cinema to watch movies. I believe that under the impact of "33 Days of Broken Relationship", more movie theaters will be put into operation in the future, so that more movie revenues will be made and more filmmakers will be supported.

and so.

I am here to proudly declare that I am not a sinner of Chinese movies, nor can I be called the savior of Chinese movies.

Me, Shao Shuaijun.

He is a director who has been struggling for Chinese films and Chinese films. "

Wow, wow, thunderous applause.

Shao Shuaijun stood up and bowed deeply to the reporters, teachers, and students in the audience.
