"Shao Shuaijun: I have been working hard for movies!"
"Frankly admitting that the film schedule is huge, Shao Shuaijun responded to the criticism, saying that the Chinese film market needs box office stimulation."
"Don't use art films as an excuse. The only thing a director can prove himself is at the box office!"
Just after the press conference ended, portals such as New Wolf and Bad Fox wrote huge headlines on their official websites, completely amplifying the topic during this period. Shao Shuaijun, as the person involved, invited several teachers from Nortel and the Film Bureau
After finishing their meal, the investigators returned to Dream Chaser Music Company and continued to record "No Makeup" with Liu Yifei.
If the plan does not change, he will rush to the United States soon to direct "The Twilight Saga: Twilight" and will not have much time to stay in the country. Nine years have passed by in a flash, and he must cherish it even more and try his best to regain his life after losing it.
Be more fully prepared before taking advantage of the situation.
He stayed behind closed doors, but there were constant earthquakes outside.
Shao Shuaijun's remarks at the Nortel press conference completely aroused the enthusiasm of the media and filmmakers.
"Shao Shuaijun gave an impassioned speech at the Nortel press conference with a pure heart, calling for the innovation of Chinese films. We can no longer hold on to old ideas and shoot films that do not meet the taste of the public. Art can not be understood, but films will eventually be
Survive by relying on box office." - "Beijing Entertainment News", as a firm supporter of Shao, immediately published a special report to support Shao Shuaijun.
"More than profit, Shao Shuaijun's box office theory is sheer nonsense, a fig leaf for tigers to eat people, and a sign of ideological degeneration. Movies are spiritual food, and what we pursue is for a hundred flowers to bloom. As a filmmaker, we cannot just focus on the box office and ignore the artistry of the movie.
The world is pursuing art, does Shao Shuaijun want to be anti-art?" - "Nandu Entertainment Weekly", as a staunch anti-Shao faction, also immediately issued a supplement. This is its second supplement this month. In the anti-Shao movement,
In terms of career, it cannot be said that he is not active.
"After all, movies are products that entertain the public. We cannot require movies to have profound humanistic care or reveal the essence of life. As Shao Shuaijun said in Nortel, commercial movies drive the market, and only literary and artistic movies can follow suit and vilify and slander one-sidedly.
Commercial films or literary films are both incorrect." - "Yangcheng Evening News".
"Although Shao Shuaijun is honest, the domestic film screening system still needs to be changed. Cinemas must also impose restrictions while pursuing profits. Only by rationally arranging films can the film be more prosperous and not become kitsch." - "Quancheng Japanese Edition"
.
"On March 8, 2006, Beijing time, director Shao Shuaijun, the domestic film box office champion, held a press conference at the International Exchange Center of Beijing Film Academy to respond to the criticism about the film schedule some time ago. Director Shao admitted at the meeting that the film schedule was too large
It is a fact, but he believes that movies are the choice of the market and he has not intervened... Finally, Shao Shuaijun analyzed the path that domestic movies should take from the artistic and commercial aspects of movies, and claimed that he is just a struggling director
.Our reporter will continue to pay attention to how all parties respond." - "Shancheng Evening News" reported the incident in a satisfactory manner.
“The 33 Days of Love’s box office has received envy from others. Shao Shuaijun fiercely retaliates against the fifth-generation directors, saying that some directors do not need to be respected.” - These are the headlines of the tabloids.
"I'm not bragging, "33 Days of Love" has already reached 300 million, and no one can beat it! Shao Shuaijun made a lot of nonsense at the press conference, and was arrogant. He only talked about the box office and slandered the senior director." - This is the so-called eye-catching.
"The old and new directors declare war!"
"The fifth generation of directors can take their last breaths, and the new generation wants to take over the big screen!"
"Is it a genius or a self-aggrandizement? Shao Shuaijun, a reporter from Nortel, will tell you!"
Not only local media and tabloids paid attention to this press conference, but even the People's Daily, which began with the Chinese character "People's Daily", also published a special comment titled "Can box office and humanistic care have both, and where should Chinese movies go?"
A speech delivered at a press conference provided an in-depth and simple analysis.
However, in the end, "People's Daily" did not make a final conclusion. It just declared that Chinese films need more people to explore them. Even if mistakes are made on the way of exploration, they can be forgiven.
The appearance of newspapers with Chinese characters in their names stimulated the fighting spirit of filmmakers. Tianzhuang, who was despised by Shao Shuaijun, responded fiercely in the newspaper that day: "My movie does not need the approval of people who only focus on box office. I am filming "The Robbers"
When "The Horse Thief" was released, Shao Shuaijun might not have been born yet. Only when a person lives to my age can he be qualified to judge the depth of a movie. In his words, I can regard him as a young man who doesn't know the heights of the world. Since the movie was released in 1994
, we have suffered various invasions of Western film culture, perhaps they have affected the younger generation, and we filmmakers need to reflect on ourselves!"
Shao Shuaijun did not respond. As Shao Shuaijun’s friend and partner, Ning Hao, who is also a leader of the new generation of directors, accepted an interview with reporters during the break of planning a new movie and said: "I was born in the 1970s, and I also watched "
"Horse Thief", I recognize Director Tian's attitude towards pursuing art, although I don't know much about his movies. But I feel that whether it is me or Shao Shuaijun, when we make movies, we are trying and groping how to find a way that suits us.
We should follow the path instead of copying the books of our predecessors. We grew up watching Western movies, Hong Kong movies and Mainland movies, and we can distinguish the essence from the dross."
"We should not focus on whether a film is commercial or artistic. I also think that audience liking is the test criterion. But what I want to deny is Shao Shuaijun's attitude towards film arrangement. Our domestic films have a difficult start, so we should give more support to this rare humanistic atmosphere.
Instead of blindly copying the West, open management." Zhang Jian said in an interview with reporters.
Gao Jun, deputy general manager of New Film Alliance Cinemas, the Three Musketeers of Chinese Film Distribution, told reporters: "I disagree with Director Zhang's words. I have been in the distribution industry for more than ten years. Every year we have to allocate a lot of resources.
We support literary and artistic films. However, after so many years of support, we still have not gotten out of a strange circle. Some of our directors have fallen into extreme literary and artistic pursuits and ignored the popular nature of the film. When a domestic literary and artistic film is released, it will face box office losses and reputation damage.
Damage, hairstyle, a Hollywood movie, the reward is more money than you can put in your pocket. Over time, our generation may still be able to persist, but as for the next generation, with the economy highly developed, who will give money to make movies? That was China at that time
The Crisis of Cinema.”
The debate between the media and filmmakers continues to take place, and the fifth week of "33 Days of Love" has arrived. After this period of media bombardment, the potential box office has been exhausted, and it unexpectedly won 10 million box office.
.The total box office reached 308.5 million yuan, becoming the first domestic film to exceed 300 million yuan in box office.
The debate continues, "33 Days of Love" has experienced its final glory, and has finally been released one after another. The final decision is 309.5 million yuan, a difference of 500,000 yuan to 310 million yuan. Of course, there is no objection to Dream Chase Entertainment's external promotion of 310 million yuan.
