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

Yi Jianmei said worriedly: "Ah Jun, you have to think about it before you talk about it, this time many of the older generations in the circle have come out, although I am also very angry, but I must learn to be patient when I should endure." In fact, after a period of cold treatment, it has passed, and it is a bit inappropriate to talk on the table? ”

"Sister Mei, I know what you're worried about, is it just that the older generation of filmmakers is well-connected. But so what, I'm not without connections now, how many people above are counting on us to feed, from distribution to theaters, Hong Kong, the United States, there are my companies. I, Shao Shuaijun, am also a predator in the entertainment industry, and 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. And those who are outdated still occupy the moral high ground, hindering the development of Chinese films. Shao Shuaijun is not talented, but he also has the consciousness that the rise and fall of the world is responsible, since he has the ability, why not change this status quo.

Even if you hit your head and break the bloodstream, you have to make a hole.

It is not in vain to be reborn and go this circle.

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

When it comes to the monopoly of film scheduling, it is worth paying attention to.

"I'm very happy to have so many friends from the media here today, and I'm very grateful to Nortel for providing me with the venue. At today's press conference, I mainly want to talk about the number of films in the movie "33 Days of Broken Love" that many people have criticized me before. First of all, I want to confirm that the schedule of "33 Days of Broken Love", we planned with the Film Bureau and major theaters that it was 38%, and later, many movie theaters took the initiative to ask for additional screenings, and it did reach 50% at one time, and even some movie theaters were showing "33 Days of Broken Love" all day.

But I don't think I have a monopoly on the film schedule, I have never asked others to release my films, 38% of the film schedule, and it has not exceeded the boundary, there have been many films that have exceeded 38% of the film schedule. I don't have so much energy to persuade dozens of theaters across the country to increase the number of films, and the reason why I got this number is more because I use my movies to accumulate word of mouth.

Whenever a movie is released, no one doesn't know that I, Shao Shuaijun, is the guarantee, the guarantee of the box office.

They are willing to show my movies because I bring them benefits, "33 Days of Broken Love" is so popular, as long as you are smart, you will naturally think of it. It's not a monopoly, it's the charm of the movie. In the past two weeks, the movie was hard to find, and countless people lingered at the door of the cinema, did they ask the cinema not to meet the needs of the audience?

A lot of people have slammed me for killing the survival of other films, and I want to say, why do my films live and other films can't? Some people say that art films don't have a good box office in the first place, so they naturally can't resist it. I wondered, the box office is not good because not many people watch it, right?

What's the use of a movie that doesn't even have people watching?

If you really have an artistic surname, your box office will definitely not be bad, and there are many examples of art films achieving good box office. Don't always blame box office failures on art film subject matter limitations. Could it be that art is something that only three or five people understand, but no one else understands?

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, the ancient popular literati remembered, at that time everyone regarded elegance as art, until now you are breaking the law, you are a hooligan.

Therefore, I personally always believe that it is art that satisfies the spiritual pursuit of the public, rather than self-righteous self-appreciation.

The previous Grange teacher scolded me for nothing, and I was curious, when I was playing tricks in Hengdian, I taught myself the knowledge of directing. In order to study, I have watched many directors' movies, including his "Hunting Ground Zaza", I watched it back and forth three times, and 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 didn't deserve to be a director. Until now, my films have been released all over the world and achieved good results, but I still haven't been able to understand what "Hunting Ground Zaza" is about. It's a good thing I didn't understand it, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today. This is the art in his mouth, an art that even I, as a director, can't understand!

You can think about whether Chinese films need this so-called incomprehensible art film, or whether they need films that can stimulate the box office and stimulate the market. The film industry is to feed a lot of people, opening a movie theater is not a bank, they also need to maintain equipment, pay rent, pay wages and support themselves by selling tickets.

A movie with high art, but no one watches it, will make him lose money. Will he still open a movie theater after losing money? No, and then the film industry will collapse! A popcorn movie, but it can make him money, let him continue to invest in cinemas, more movies will be released here, art films can also be, and the film industry will live.

Therefore, don't easily belittle other people's films, I respect my predecessors and their contributions to Chinese films. I won't say much about the older generation of filmmakers, not unfamiliar with them in that era.

Let's just say that the fifth generation of directors, I respect director Zhang Yimou, his "Hero" has 1.3 billion people in the world, fighting for the face of Chinese, and "Alive" is a masterpiece. I respect director Chen Kaige, and his "Farewell My Concubine" is a symbol of Chinese cinema in my mind. There are also many directors who I respect, such as director Lu Chuan, "Ke Ke Xili" was exchanged for his life, and he deserves respect.

But I won't respect the director of Grange who made "Hunting Ground Zaza", I don't want to scold him anything, I hope he doesn't scold me casually. I didn't trample on art, let alone stifle Chinese films.

I don't want to brag, but "33 Days of Broken Love" has won the national box office of 300 million, which no one has ever done. I'm relieved that it's in my hands, and I'm even more relieved that it's a national audience's recognition of my film. As a director, I shudder to think about it.

Is there anything more encouraging for the director than to be recognized by the audience?

At the same time, it 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 due to the impact of "33 Days of Broken Love", more movie theaters will be put into operation in the future, so that more movies can earn and feed more filmmakers.

So.

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

I, Shao Shuaijun.

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

Boom, boom, applause.

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