In fact, there has always been a debate about commercial films and literary films!

After all, the academy is teaching the European theory...

Valuing the arts, despising the business...

This has led to the fact that most filmmakers despise commercial films!

Before, our film circle was actually very small, with a strict system of master-apprentice inheritance and a group of one, two, three, four, and five generations of directors that extended from this...

It has cultivated a group of so-called film masters who focus on winning awards all over the world and exploring film art.

These people enjoy the honor of no competition in the domestic deformed market.

Therefore, Feng Xiaogang made money by relying on "Party A and Party B", and various criticisms from the critics...

Because he's an outsider!

Also, his presence embarrassed these people!

In the past, it was not a blockbuster, it was obscure, just hold it yourself in the circle, and you will still be honored!

That's right, in their concept, the media is here to promote the film, the journalists are to applaud, and the space is reserved for exclusive interviews...

Once it is commercialized and marketized, this thing is gone!

Because you're commercialized, the judging criteria becomes the box office...

They won't make money at the box office, but by exercising the right of interpretation of art through movies, they not only understand, but also change tricks...

Pulling it back, in short, Shen Xudong's remarks during the promotion of "Mountain Village Fox Wife" were immediately forwarded by major media, and then there were a bunch of criticism from experts and commentators.

"Many awards for niche literary films provide a platform for new directors to show their talents, so that more young ideas can be shared with the world, expose reality, present history, relatively independent literary and artistic films are more pure for "art" and strive to bloom their own lives, individual excellent works are big enough to carry the pain of a nation, it is certainly valuable!"

"I don't understand what's wrong with the promotion of the box office of literary films!"

"Cinema is the seventh art, and its purpose is not just to entertain the public..."

Even Teacher Huang called to ask Shen Xudong...

It's normal, "Peacock" itself is of good quality, let's be honest, among the new Chinese film directors who emerged in those years, the commercial performance was lackluster. )

"Peacock" is different, not only in the comment circle, but also more praise and less scolding, the box office is not bad, the original time and space, the box office of "Peacock" is 13 million.

On the basis of not compromising the independence of artistic creation, to achieve commercial value as much as possible, "Peacock" is an excellent model!

Shen Xudong can be said to have kicked the iron plate!

Although he is targeting the unfairness of comments and public opinion, the media does not care so much, and the critics do not care about these...

Of course, Tianya Forum includes Tieba, and many netizens support Shen Xudong.

It's also a big event in late February.

Shen Xudong did not continue to respond...

A lot of things have to be proven by time!

If he responds now, whatever he says will become a new point of argument.

So, keeping your mouth shut is the best option.

However, after such a fuss from him, "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" and "Peacock" have attracted many audiences into the theater...

The box office was released the next week, and the 11-day box office of "Mountain Village Fox Wife" was 33.6 million, and "Peacock" also had a box office of 8.8 million.

Win-win!

The market feedback is very real...

Popular movies are always blockbusters!

According to the theater estimate, the box office of "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village" should be 40 million!

It's a slap in the face...

The group of critics and film critics who had gathered quickly died down, in fact, many of them had never seen these two movies at all.

Then why scold Shen Xudong?

Nonsense, "The Fox Wife in the Mountain Village", vulgar horror films, "Peacock", winner of the Jury Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival!

Fools know what to choose!

Isn't it just scolding, you can't scold if you haven't seen a movie?

Then, a group of people went to Xiangjiang en masse to do the final publicity.

On the plane, Shen Xudong yawned, then turned his head to look at Brother Hu: "What are you staring at me?" Something to say?"

Lao Hu: "... Do you really think commercial films are more important than literary films?"

"Why should these two be separated... Excellent movies usually have commercial elements and artistic value!"

After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "Commercial films overemphasize commercial attributes and completely abandon the social significance of films,) If it is very detached from reality, it is basically a popcorn movie, and it is good for the audience to forget after watching it, if the story is full of loopholes, then the bad reviews will definitely be overwhelming."

A really good movie should have both literary and commercial attributes, and the best state of the movie is that business and literature are fused together, or it has social reality significance, and also has the value of entertainment and appreciation, interesting and connotative!"

"Then why didn't you say that that day?"

"Everyone understands this truth, so there is no need to emphasize it..."

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong turned his head and looked around: "Where is Yang Xiaomi?"

"It's back to the crew of "Condor"!" Brother Hu was puzzled: "Didn't she tell you?"

"Oh... I just woke up, and my brain hasn't stretched yet..."

Yang Xiaomi will be able to meet the crew of "Condor".

Originally, she said that she would take a five-day leave, but later, the publicity time was added, but there was no way, so she renewed her leave for another three days...

Originally, when she went to Xiangjiang this time, she should have been called, but "Condor" was in a hurry, and Li Xiaowan couldn't bear it, so she had to let her go back to the crew of "Condor"!

Lao Hu asked rhetorically: "What?" Missed her?"

"It's ok... She's funny, though. ”

Fan Yang is really interesting, a little open-mouthed, and she is used to talking back, quite a feeling of sharp teeth...

Well, Shen Xudong has an experience.

It's a pity that the time is too rushed, and I only experienced the mouth sharp...

Brother Hu changed the topic: "I have three days for this Xiangjiang promotion, but the itinerary is only one day... Where are we going in the remaining two days?"

"Where do you want to go?"

“… I want to go to the Central Mid-Levels escalator and Chungking Mansion, I love "Chungking Forest" so much!"

Shen Xudong was surprised: "I thought you were going to experience the Lou Feng on Balan Street!"

After getting acquainted with Lao Hu, you know that Ya is no different from ordinary men, one LSP!

"There is time... You can also experience it and try the quality of the local chickens!"

"Is the price rich?"

"I brought 20,000 Hong Kong dollars!"

"Cheng, follow me, I'll take you!"

The two were chatting, and Weng Hong, who was sitting behind him, joined the chat group: "There are about 20 minutes left, have you ever been to Xiangjiang?"

Brother Hu shook his head, and Shen Xudong nodded: "I've been here once, I came when "Keep Talking" was promoted."

"Keep Talking"..."Weng Hong thought for a while: "Oh, that's also the script you wrote, right?"

"Yes..."

“… Why are you so good?"

"No, it's just a whim..."

Here it is again, every time she chats with Weng Hong, within three sentences, she will definitely show a surprised expression, and praise by the way...

Shen Xudong inevitably felt a little uneasy...
