Director’s Legend

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

"Frankly speaking, the amount of films scheduled 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 only prove himself at the box office!"

Right after the press conference was held, portal websites such as Xinlang and Ranhu wrote huge headlines on their official websites, completely magnifying the topic during this period. As the party involved, Shao Shuaijun invited several teachers from Nortel and investigators from the Film Bureau to eat, and then returned to Dream Music Company to continue recording "Su Yan" with Liu Yifei.

If the plan doesn't change, he will rush to the United States soon to direct "The Twilight Saga: Twilight", and he doesn't have much time to stay in China. Nine years have passed in a flash, he must cherish it doubly, and try to make more adequate preparations before losing the advantage of being reborn.

He stays behind closed doors, but the outside world is full of earthquakes.

For Shao Shuaijun's remarks at the Nortel press conference, the enthusiasm of the media and filmmakers was completely ignited.

"Shao Shuaijun gave a generous speech at the Nortel press conference, calling for the innovation of Chinese films with a pure heart. We can no longer hold outdated concepts and shoot films that do not meet the taste of the public. Art can be misunderstood, but films will eventually Relying on the box office to survive." —— "Beijing Entertainment News", as a firm supporter of Shao faction, published a special report in support of Shao Shuaijun at the first time.

"Profit is all about profit, Shao Shuaijun's box office theory is simply nonsense, it is a fig leaf for tigers to eat people, and it is a sign of degenerate thinking. Movies are spiritual food, and what we pursue is to let a hundred flowers bloom. As a filmmaker, you can't just focus on box office and ignore the artistry of movies. The world is pursuing art, so Shao Shuaijun wants to be anti-art?”——Nandu Entertainment Weekly, as a staunch anti-Shao faction, also issued a supplement for the first time, this is its second supplement this month, after Dao Shao’s In terms of career, it is not inactive.

"Movies are ultimately a product of entertaining the public. We cannot demand that movies must have profound humanistic care, or expose the essence of life. As Shao Shuaijun said at Nortel, commercial movies drive the market, and literary and artistic movies can follow suit. One-sided ugliness and slander Both commercial and literary films are incorrect." - "Yangcheng Evening News".

"Although Shao Shuaijun is frank, the domestic film screening system still needs to be changed. Cinemas must also make restrictions while pursuing interests. A reasonable arrangement of films can make films more prosperous and prevent them from becoming kitsch." - "Quancheng Daily 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 the Beijing Film Academy to respond to the criticism of the film schedule some time ago. At the meeting, Director Shao admitted that the film schedule was too large. It is true, but he believes that movies are the choice of the market, and he did not intervene... Finally, Shao Shuaijun analyzed the path that domestic movies should take in terms of the artistry and commerciality of movies, and claimed that he is 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 regular manner.

""33 Days of Broken Love" was envied at the 300 million box office. Shao Shuaijun fiercely fought back against the five generations of directors, saying that some directors do not need to be respected." - these are the headlines of the tabloids.

"It's not my bragging, "33 Days of Broken Love" has reached 300 million, unbeatable! Shao Shuaijun's press conference will be full of nonsense, defiant, only the box office, and wantonly slander the senior director."——This is the so-called eye-catching.

"Directors old and new, declare war!"

"The five generations of directors can call their curtains down, and the new generation wants to take over the big screen!"

"Is it a genius, or is it self-inflated? Shao Shuaijun, a reporter from Nortel, will tell you!"

Not only the local media and tabloids paid attention to this press conference, but even the "People's Daily", which began with the Chinese characters, also published a special commentary titled "Can the box office and humanistic care have both, and where should Chinese films go?" A speech at the press conference made an in-depth analysis.

But in the end, "People's Daily" didn't make a conclusion, it just declared that Chinese films need more people to explore, even if mistakes are made on the way of exploration, they can be forgiven.

The appearance of newspapers starting with the Chinese characters has aroused the fighting spirit of filmmakers. Grange, who was despised by Shao Shuaijun, responded fiercely in the newspaper that day: "My film does not need the approval of box office critics. When I was filming "The Horse Thief", Shao Shuaijun might not have been born. When a person lives Only at my age can he have the qualifications to appraise the depth of a movie’s connotation. His words, I can be regarded as young people who don’t know the heights of the sky and the earth. Since the opening of the movie in 1994, we have been invaded by various Western movie cultures. Perhaps, they It has 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 the flag bearer of the new generation of directors, said in an interview with reporters during the planning of the new film: "I was born in the 1970s, and I also watched "" "The Horse Thief", I agree with Director Tian's attitude of pursuing art, although I don't know much about his films. But I think, whether it is me or Shao Shuaijun, when we make films, we are all trying and groping, how to find a way that suits us The road, rather than copying the books of the 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 art. I also think that the audience's liking is the test standard. But what I want to deny is Shao Shuaijun's attitude towards film scheduling. Our domestic films have a difficult start, and we should support this rare humanistic atmosphere even more. Instead of blindly copying the West, open management." Zhang Jian said in an interview with reporters.

The Three Musketeers of China's film distribution, Gao Jun, deputy general manager of New Film Federation Cinemas, told reporters: "I don't agree with Director Zhang's words. I have been in the industry for more than ten years, and we have to allocate a lot of resources every year. Support literary and artistic films. But after so many years of support, we still haven’t gotten out of a vicious circle. Some of our directors have fallen into extreme artistic pursuits, ignoring the popularity of movies. Distributing a domestic literary and artistic film is facing box office losses and reputation. Loss, hair style a Hollywood movie, the harvest is that the money can’t fit in the pocket. Over time, our generation may be able to persist, but the next generation, with a highly developed economy, who will spend money to make movies? It was China at that time. The Crisis of Cinema."

The debate between the media and filmmakers continues, and the fifth week of "33 Days of Broken Relationship" is coming. 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 has accumulated to 308.5 million yuan, becoming a domestic film and the first film to break 300 million box office.

The debate continued, "33 Days of Broken Love" passed through its final glory, and finally drew one after another. The final conclusion was 309.5 million yuan, a difference of 500,000 yuan to 310 million yuan. Of course, no one objected to Dream Chasing Entertainment's publicity of 310 million yuan.

Everyone is numb.
