"Shao Shuaijun: I've 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 literary films as an excuse, the only thing the director can prove himself is the box office!"

As soon as the press conference ended, portals such as New Wolf and Rancid Fox wrote huge headlines on their official websites, completely expanding the topic during this time. Shao Shuaijun, as the party concerned, invited several teachers from Nortel and investigators from the Film Bureau to have dinner, and then returned to Dream Chasing Music Company to continue recording "No Makeup" with Liu Yifei.

If the plan doesn't change, he will soon be in the United States to direct "Twilight 1: Twilight", and there will not be much time to stay at home. Nine years passed in a flash, and he had to cherish it and try to be more prepared before losing the advantage of the Reborn.

He closed his door, but the outside world was full of earthquakes.

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

"At the Nortel press conference, Shao Shuai gave a generous speech and called for the innovation of Chinese films with a pure heart. We can no longer hold on to the old notion that we can make movies that do not meet the taste of the public, art can not be understood, but movies will eventually depend on the box office to survive. -- As a staunch pro-Shao faction, the "Beijing Entertainment Letter" immediately published a special report in solidarity with Shao Shuaijun.

"Profit-seeking, Shao Shuaijun's box office theory is simply nonsense, a fig leaf for tigers to eat people, and a hint of ideological degeneration. As a filmmaker, you can't just care about the box office and ignore the art of the movie, the whole world is pursuing art, does Shao Shuaijun want to oppose art? -- As a staunch anti-Shao faction, "Nandu Entertainment Weekly" also issued an additional supplement for the first time, and this is its second supplement since this month.

"After all, movies are the product of entertaining the public, and we can't expect movies to have deep humanistic care, or expose the essence of life. As Shao Shuaijun said in Nortel, commercial films promote the market, and literary films can follow suit, and one-sided scandalization and slander of commercial films or literary films are incorrect. -- Yangcheng Evening News.

Although Shao Shuaijun is honest, the domestic film screening system still needs to be changed. Cinemas should also make restrictions while pursuing profits, and only reasonable film scheduling can make movies more prosperous and not flow into kitsch. -- "Quancheng 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 the film schedule some time ago. At the meeting, Director Shao admitted that it was a fact that the number of films was too large, but he believed that movies were the choice of the market, and he did not intervene artificially...... Finally, Shao Shuaijun analyzed the path that domestic films should take from the artistic and commercial surnames of films, and claimed that he was just a struggling director. How the parties will respond, this reporter will continue to pay attention. -- The "Shancheng Evening News" reported the course of the incident in a regular manner.

"The 300 million box office of "33 Days of Broken Love" was popular, and Shao Shuaijun fiercely hit back at 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 me to brag, "33 Days of Broken Love" is already 300 million, and no one can beat it! Shao Shuaijun's press conference will make a lot of nonsense, no one in his eyes, only the box office, and wantonly slander the senior directors. This is the so-called eyeball.

"Old and new directors, declare war!"

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

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

Not only local media and tabloids paid attention to this press conference, but even the "People's Daily", which starts with the national character, also published a special commentary titled "Can the box office and humanistic care be both, and where should Chinese films go", making an in-depth analysis of Shao Shuaijun's speech at the Nortel press conference.

However, in the end, "People's Daily" did not make up its mind, but only declared that Chinese films need more people to explore, and even if there are mistakes on the way to exploration, it is forgivable.

The appearance of newspapers starting with the national character has stimulated the fighting spirit of filmmakers. Tianzhuang, who was despised by Shao Shuaijun, responded fiercely in the newspaper on the same day: "My movie doesn't need to be recognized by box office only people, when I was filming "Horse Thief", Shao Shuaijun was probably not born yet. When a person lives to my age, he can be qualified to identify the depth of a movie. Since the opening of the film in 94, we have suffered from various film culture invasions in the West, 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, also a partner, and also a new generation of directors to carry the flag Ning Hao, during the planning of the new movie, interviewed reporters: "I was born in the seventies, I have also watched "Horse Thief", I recognize Director Tian's attitude towards pursuing art, although I don't know much about his movies. But I think that whether it is me or Shao Shuaijun, we are trying and groping for movies to find a path that suits us, rather than copying the books of our predecessors. We grew up watching Western, Hong Kong and mainland films, and we were able to distinguish the best from the worst. ”

"We shouldn't look at whether the film is commercial or artistic, and I think the audience's liking is the test piece. But what I want to deny is Shao Shuaijun's attitude towards film scheduling. Our domestic films had a difficult start, and we should support this rare humanistic atmosphere more, rather than blindly copying the West and managing it openly. Zhang Jian said in an interview with reporters.

Gao Jun, the Three Musketeers of Chinese Film Distribution and Deputy General Manager of the New Film Association Cinemas, told reporters: "I don't agree with Director Zhang's words, I have been doing distribution in the industry for more than ten years, and every year we have to allocate a lot of resources to support literary films." But after so many years of support, they still haven't come out of a strange circle, and some of our directors have fallen into extreme literary and artistic pursuits, ignoring the popular surname of the movie. The release of a domestic literary film is faced with box office losses and damaged reputation, and a Hollywood movie with a hairstyle is to earn money that cannot fit in your pocket. Over time, our generation may still be able to persevere, but what about the next generation, the economy is highly developed, who will pay for movies? At that time, it was the crisis of Chinese films. ”

The debate between the media and filmmakers continued to be staged, and the fifth week of "33 Days of Broken Love" arrived, and after this period of media bombardment, the potential box office has been exhausted, and it unexpectedly won 10 million box office. accumulated a total box office of 308.5 million yuan, becoming a domestic film and the first film to break the box office of 300 million.

The debate continued, "33 Days of Broken Love" passed the final glory, and finally painted one after another, and the final decision was 309.5 million yuan, with a difference of 500,000 to 310 million, of course, no one objected to Dream Chasing Entertainment's external promotion of 310 million.

Everyone was numb.
