Director’s Legend

"Shao Shuaijun: I have been working hard for the movie!"

"Frankly saying that the number of films is huge, Shao Shuaijun responded to the criticism, saying that the Chinese film market needs box office stimulation."

"Don't use literary films as an excuse, the director can prove that he only has the box office!"

Just after the press conference was held, portal websites such as Xinlang and Ranghu wrote huge headlines on their official websites, completely expanding the topic of this period. Shao Shuaijun, as the client, invited several teachers from Nortel and investigators from the Film Bureau to have dinner, and then returned to the Dream Music Company to continue recording "Su Yan" with Liu Yifei.

If no changes are planned, he will soon rush to the United States to direct "Twilight 1: Twilight" without much time to stay in the country. Nine years passed in a flash, he must cherish it, and try his best to make more adequate preparations before losing the advantage of the reborn.

He couldn't go out behind closed doors, but the outside world was experiencing constant earthquakes.

Shao Shuaijun's remarks at the Nortel press conference completely detonated the enthusiasm of the media and filmmakers.

"At the Nortel press conference, he gave a generous speech. Shao Shuaijun called for the innovation of Chinese film with a heart of innocence. We can no longer hold outdated concepts and shoot films that do not meet the tastes of the public. Art can not be understood, but movies must Relying on the box office to survive."-"Beijing Entertainment Letter", as a firm supporter of the Shao faction, immediately published a special report to support Shao Shuaijun.

"Only profit is a figure. Shao Shuaijun's box office theory is simply nonsense. It is a fig leaf for tiger cannibalism and a clue of depraved thinking. Movies are spiritual food and pursue a hundred flowers. As a filmmaker, you can't just focus on the box office and ignore the artistry of the film. The world is pursuing art, should Shao Shuaijun want to oppose art?"-As a staunch Shao faction, "Nandu Entertainment Weekly" also issued a supplement for the first time. This is its second supplement since this month. In terms of career, it cannot be said to be inactive.

"Film is ultimately a product of entertaining the public. We cannot require that films must have deep humanistic care or expose the essence of life. As Shao Shuaijun said at Nortel, commercial films promote the market, and literary films can follow suit, one-sided ugly and slander. Commercial films or literary films are not correct."-"Yangcheng Evening News."

"Although Shao Shuaijun is frank, the domestic film screening system still needs to be changed. Cinemas must also impose restrictions while pursuing benefits. Only reasonable film arrangement can make the film more prosperous, and it will not flow into kitsch."-"Quancheng Japanese Edition" .

"On March 8, 2006, Beijing time, director Shao Shuaijun, the box office champion of domestic films, held a press conference at the International Exchange Center of Beijing Film Academy to respond to the criticism of film scheduling a while ago. At the meeting, Director Shao frankly arranged too much film. It is a fact, but he thinks that film is the choice of the market, and he did not intervene artificially... Finally, Shao Shuaijun analyzed the path that domestic films should embark on from the artistic and commercial nature of the film, and claimed that he was just a struggling director. The reporter of this newspaper will continue to pay attention to how all parties respond."-"Shancheng Evening News" reported the incident in a proper manner.

""33 Days of Broken Relationship" was jealous at the 300 million box office. Shao Shuaijun fiercely responded to the five-generation directors, saying that certain directors do not need to be respected."-these are the headlines of the tabloid.

"It's not me that brags, "33 Days of Broken Love" has 300 million, no one can beat! Shao Shuaijun's press conference was utterly insulting, only box office theory, slander the senior director."-This is the so-called eye-catching.

"The old and new directors, declare war!"

"The five generations of directors can call for a curtain call, and the new generation wants to take over the big screen!"

"Is it a genius or self-expansion? Shao Shuaijun Nortel reporter will tell you!"

Not only local media and tabloids are paying attention to this press conference. Even the People’s Daily, which starts with the national character, published a special comment entitled "Can you have both box office and humanistic care, and where should Chinese movies go?" A speech at the news conference gave a profound analysis.

However, in the end, the People's Daily did not make a final conclusion. It just declared that Chinese films need more people to explore for it. Even if there are mistakes in the exploration, it is forgivable.

The appearance of newspapers starting with the Chinese character also inspired filmmakers' fighting spirit. Tianzhuang, who was despised in the eyes of Shao Shuaijun, responded fiercely in the newspaper that day: "My film does not need to be recognized by box office people. Shao Shuaijun was probably not born when I was filming "The Horse Thief". Only at my age can he be qualified to appraise the depth of the connotation of a film. In his words, I can be regarded as a young man who knows no bounds. Since the film was opened in 1994, we have suffered various Western film culture invasions. Perhaps they It has affected the younger generation, we filmmakers need to reflect on ourselves!"

Shao Shuaijun did not respond. As a good friend of Shao Shuaijun and a partner, Ning Hao, who is also a new generation director and a flag-bearer, was interviewed by reporters and said: "I was born in the 1970s and I also watched " "The Horse Thief", I agree with Director Tian’s pursuit of art. Although I don’t know much about his films. But I feel that whether it’s me or Shao Shuaijun, we are trying and exploring how to make a movie that suits us. Roads, rather than copying predecessors’ books. We grew up watching Western movies, Hong Kong movies, and mainland movies, and we can distinguish the essence and the dross."

"We should not focus on whether the film is commercial or art. I also think that audiences like it is the test. But what I want to deny is Shao Shuaijun's attitude towards film arranging. Our domestic films have a difficult start, and we should support this rare humanistic atmosphere more. Rather than blindly copy the West and open management." Zhang Jian said in an interview with reporters.

Gao Jun, deputy general manager of the Chinese film distributor Three Musketeers, said to reporters: "I can’t agree with Director Zhang. I’ve been in the industry for more than ten years, and every year we have to allocate a lot of resources. Support for literary and art films. But after so many years of support, we still haven’t stepped out of a strange circle. Some of our directors have fallen into extreme literary pursuits and neglected the popularity of movies. The release of a domestic literary and art film is facing a loss at the box office and reputation Loss, hair a Hollywood movie, the reward is to earn money to hold it in your pockets. Over time, our generation may be able to persist, but the next generation, the economy is highly developed, who will pay to make movies? At that time, it was China. The crisis of the movie."

The air controversy between the media and filmmakers continues, and the fifth week of "33 Days of Broken Relationship" has arrived. After this period of media bombing, it has drained the potential box office, and unexpectedly won 10 million box office. . The total box office has accumulated to 308.5 million yuan, becoming a domestically produced film, the first film to break 300 million box office.

The controversy continued, "33 Days of Broken Love" passed the final glory, and finally painted one after another. The final conclusion is 309.5 million yuan, which is 500,000 yuan to 310 million. Of course, there is no objection to the 310 million external promotion of Dream Entertainment.

Everyone is numb.
