Director’s Legend

"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 older generations in the circle have stepped out. Although I am also very angry, I must learn to be patient when I have to bear it. In fact, it is cold for a while. Time has passed, isn't it a bit inappropriate to speak on the stage?"

"Sister Mei, I know what you're worried about. It's just that the older generation of filmmakers have a lot of connections. But so what, I'm not without connections now. How many people above are counting on us to support me? My company is located in China, America, and the United States. I, Shao Shuaijun, are also a big crocodile in the entertainment industry, and others don’t know that crocodiles eat meat when they shed tears!”

Although the mainland entertainment industry has opened up, there are still not many filmmakers who can keep up with the times. And those who are outdated still occupy the moral high ground and hinder the development of Chinese films. Shao Shuai's army is not talented, and he also has the awareness that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Now that he has the ability, why not change this situation.

Even if the head is smashed, there will be a hole.

It is not in vain to be reborn, walk this circle.

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

Issues related to film monopoly are worthy of attention.

"I'm very happy to have so many media friends here today, and I'm very grateful to Nortel for providing me with the venue. In today's press conference, I mainly want to talk about the issue of the film schedule of the movie "33 Days of Broken Love" that many people criticized me before. First of all, I would like to confirm that the film schedule of "33 Days of Broken Love" was 38% as agreed with the film bureau and major theaters. Later, many movie theaters took the initiative to request additional screenings, and it did reach 50% at one point, and even some movie theaters "33 Days of Broken Relationship" is showing all day.

But I don’t think I have monopolized the film schedule. I have never asked others to release my films. 38% of the film schedule has not exceeded the limit. Many films have exceeded 38% of the film schedule. I also don't have that much energy to persuade dozens of theaters across the country to increase the number of films scheduled. The reason why I got this number is more because of the word-of-mouth I have accumulated with my films.

Anyone who plays movies, no one does not know that I, Shao Shuaijun, is the guarantee, the guarantee of the box office.

They are willing to show my film because I bring them benefits. "33 Days of Broken Relationship" is so popular, as long as they are smart people, they will naturally think of Jiaying. This is not a monopoly, this is the charm of the movie. In the past two weeks, it was hard to get a ticket for the popular movie, and countless people lingered at the entrance of the movie theater. Do you ask the movie theater not to meet the needs of the audience?

Many people criticized me for killing the survival of other movies. What I want to say is, why can my movie survive and other movies can't? Some people say that art films don't do well at the box office, so naturally they can't resist it. I was wondering, the poor box office means not many people watched it?

What's the use of showing a movie that no one has even watched?

If you are really artistic, your box office will definitely not be bad, and there are many examples of art films achieving good box office. Don't always attribute box office failures to the limitations of art films. Could it be said that art refers to something that only three or five people understand and no one else understands?

I admit that the theme of "33 Days of Broken Relationship" is not profound, and I will never admit that "33 Days of Broken Love" is not art. Is art not a trend? In ancient times, it was popular for literati to engage in sex with prostitutes. At that time, everyone regarded it as elegance and art. Now you are breaking the law and you are a hooligan.

Therefore, I personally always believe that what satisfies the spiritual pursuit of the masses is art, not self-righteous self-admiration.

The farm teacher from before scolded me for nothing, so I became curious. When I was playing tricks in Hengdian, I taught myself the knowledge of directing. In order to study, I watched many director's films, including his "Zhasa the Hunting Ground". I watched it 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 wasn't worthy of being a director. Until now, the films I made have been shown all over the world and have achieved good results, but I still haven't been able to understand what "Zhaza the Hunting Ground" is about. Fortunately, I didn't understand it, otherwise I wouldn't have the results I have today. This is the art in his mouth, an art that even I, a director, can't understand!

You can think about it, what Chinese movies need is this so-called incomprehensible art film, or a movie that can stimulate the box office and stimulate the market. The film industry needs to support many people. To open a cinema is not to open a bank. They also need to sell tickets to maintain equipment, pay rent, pay wages and support themselves.

A movie with high art but no one watches will make him lose money. Will he still open a movie theater after losing money? No, and then the film industry collapses! A popcorn movie can make him earn money, let him continue to invest in movie theaters, and more movies will be shown here, as well as art movies, and the movie industry will live.

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

Let’s talk about the fifth-generation directors. I respect director Zhang Yimou. His “Hero” has 1.3 billion people worldwide, and he is fighting for the face of the Chinese people. “To Live” is a masterpiece. I respect director Chen Kaige, and his "Farewell My Concubine" is a symbol of Chinese movies in my mind. There are also many directors, I respect them all, such as director Lu Chuan, "Kekexil" was bought with his life, he deserves respect.

But I will not respect the director of Grange who made "The Hunting Ground Zhasa", because we disagree with each other, and I don't want to scold him, I hope he will not scold me casually. I did not trample on art, let alone kill Chinese films.

I don't want to brag, but "33 Days of Broken Relationship" has won a national box office of 300 million yuan, which is something no one has ever done. I am very relieved that it has been realized in my hands, and I am even more relieved that this is the recognition of my film by the national audience. As a director, I shudder just thinking about it.

Is there any greater encouragement to the director than the recognition of the audience?

At the same time, this also shows that our movie market is getting 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 Relationship", more movie theaters will be put into operation in the future, so that more movie profits can be made to support more filmmakers.

so.

I am here to proudly announce that I am not a sinner of Chinese films, nor can I be called a savior of Chinese films.

I, Shao Shuaijun.

He is a director who has been working hard for Chinese movies and Chinese-language movies. "

Crash, clatter, thunderous applause.

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