China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Guan Ling’s Weibo post didn’t seem to mention anyone, but it was a strong attack.

Although the entire Weibo post only commented on his own mistakes and kindness to the audience, he still added a sarcastic remark about being petty.

It makes people think a lot!

But even so, it is enough to ignite seventy-two flames of war in the entertainment industry!
And Guan Ling’s meaning is quite clear. Guan Ling himself may not be absolutely satisfied with the two movies "Aquaman" and "Uncharted".

This is big news!
In an instant, the entire entertainment industry was filled with energy.

I can’t sleep at all!
Guan Ling admitted it, but others did not. This sweeping gun was fired indiscriminately at all Chinese filmmakers.

It's just that the words are relatively mild, and the things inside need to be carefully considered.

But this statement was still like a depth bomb, causing huge waves in the entertainment industry!
The film and television industry was suddenly in chaos!
Weibo, forums, and major media platforms were instantly flooded with this topic.

People in the film and television industry suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Only a few words of Guan Ling have been echoing and rising in the hearts of many directors, producers and others in the film and television circles!
It made many people silent!

Netizens took sides one after another, and the spectators watched the drama with great pleasure.

"We are so meticulous! The audience is kind! We feel comfortable when we hear the biggest director in the entertainment industry flatter us."

"We, we, we, have you guys upstairs cut off your clothes to express your aspirations?"

"Director Guan is awesome! He is going to go head-on with those people in the film and television industry who have scolded us before!"

"He stands on the side of the audience unconditionally. Just look at Director Guan's attitude and you will understand why the box office is higher than other directors!"

"When the people don't like it, you accuse us of being penny-wise? Do you have any shame, Feng Xiaogang!"

"Brother Chen Kai is so narrow-minded that he can't even fit a steamed bun in his heart—from Brother Chen Kai's ex-wife!"

"Guan Ling angrily criticized the film and television industry! As long as you work hard, you can get good box office results!"

“Director Guan is right. In fact, many Hollywood blockbusters are not very logical, but people are willing to spend money and release them worldwide. As long as their characters are reasonable and the plot and special effects are well-made, they can still create high box office and become a popcorn movie that people are willing to watch.

In China, it may be because the Chinese market is so small, so many investors are afraid to take risks, so the films that are made are all bad. "

Some people are analyzing rationally.

"Guan Gou, just pretend there. You said you should respect the audience. What's wrong with us wanting to see the emblems swim naked? We just want to see it. We also want to see Xie Na's, Lin Xingru's, and Qin Hailu's. We all want to see them, especially when they swim on their backs. There's a high probability that they will tremble."

"What the above person said makes a lot of sense. It made me hopeful. This is something that the people like to see! But you just went straight to the emblem guy who pioneered it and gave him the title!"

There were also a few people who were trying to take advantage of the situation and actually started to criticize Guan Ling.

He also claimed that those who watch movies are the audience, and those who look at photos on Weibo are also the audience. They should be treated equally and deserve respect.

Many netizens think it makes sense because they also want to watch it.

When Guan Ling saw the news, she didn't bother to pay attention to them. She didn't bother to expose what they wanted to see!!

Countless viewers searched for those people in the entertainment industry who cursed the audience, and posted pictures to compare with what Guan Ling said.

What a strong contrast!

Some people say that being kind to the audience and saving people will only lead to criticizing the audience for their poor aesthetic taste and low level of appreciation.

From this generation of people being inadequate, to this generation of patients being inadequate, when it comes to the film and television industry, it becomes this generation of audiences being inadequate.

Filming in the entertainment industry is a delicate job. A small director may make a classic blockbuster, while a big director may make a low-level bad movie. This is normal as nothing lasts forever.

But many big directors don’t agree with this. The bad movies and poor box office performance seem to have nothing to do with them. In the final analysis, it’s all because of: the media of this generation is not good! The audience of this generation is not good!
The first to be affected was Feng Xiaogang.

As the most well-known person with a bad temper in the entertainment industry, Feng Xiaogang was only known as Huggies at this time, and the hat of little steel cannon had not been put on his head yet, but in recent years, his defense has been visibly broken.

In 2008, If You Are the One was released, and it happened to coincide with Guan Ling's Taken series, so its box office success was half-smashed.

At that time, Feng Xiaogang made an outrageous statement, claiming that film critics were all big-name wolves who pretended to understand movies, causing this group of brainless audiences to vote with their feet.

When Aftershock was released, Chinese actor Sun Haiying, who had just won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Changchun Film Festival, dropped a bombshell on the media: he talked about the market.

He claimed, "Some directors don't care about the lives of ordinary people at all. They just think about the box office all day long. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?"

What froze the atmosphere was that the guy suddenly changed the subject and said, "I didn't even go to see the movie Aftershock that Feng Xiaogang gave me."

The reporters' pens instantly stopped in mid-air, waiting for more explosive content.

The two then had a fierce verbal fight, with Feng Xiaogang angrily accusing Sun Haiying of being an old comrade whose brain had been burned out by passion.

Then, in response to many viewers on the Internet saying that they were not moved at all, he compared the audience with the criminals who chopped children, claiming that the audience who felt bad, dull, and boring in the movie should be allowed to exist, but he sincerely hoped that this group of viewers would not go to kindergarten to chop children!
Afterwards, Zhang Yimou’s dark history was dug up again, but fortunately he used a proxy and at least he did not openly fall out with the audience.

"Three Guns" was a box office success, and just when Director Zhang was feeling good about it, an overwhelming amount of negative reviews came down like a bucket of cold water, which completely pissed off Director Zhang.

Director Zhang directly said, "It's difficult to make intellectuals laugh."

"Some people in the intellectual circle always go to the cinema with a stern face. They have to be picky and have to figure out something. They have to watch movies this way. I can't do anything about it."

The audience were all cultured people, but they were stubborn. Especially when the reporter provoked Zhang Yimou about Han Han's comment, Zhang Yimou paused for a few seconds visibly and cleverly skipped the topic, not wanting to give the reporter a fuss.

Instead, he responded contemptuously: "I don't care much about the opinions of intellectuals and the media. What I care about is what ordinary people say. It's not about whether ordinary people think Zhang Yimou is good or not, but whether ordinary people go to see my films. Looking at the box office figures, I think it's OK."

Afterwards, he had a falling out with Zhang Weiping and blamed everything on Zhang Weiping, claiming that the script was completely immature, that he felt he had fallen into a ditch, that the film lacked cultural value and was a product of commercialism, and that this film was his most unsatisfactory work to date.

Don't say whether he is a hypocrite or not, but at least in this attitude,
It's okay!

At least he didn't curse harshly, he is an old guy worthy of respect!
Netizens decided to spare his life!
Director Chen's Mantou Cult is making waves again. It has been exactly seven years since the bloody murder.

But Chen Kai, who felt insulted at the time, decided to sue the audience for making fun of him, claiming that people should not be so shameless.

And later on, he gave up suing Hu Ge. It was just an overreaction.

This is a personal grudge, and although people still don’t understand The Promise in the past few years, they understand Zhang Baizhi and Xie Tingfeng, so it’s not bad, right?

Just think of it as buying a prophecy with money back then...

And although he has been a bit pretentious recently, at least he made a pretty good movie, "Along with the Gods".

Netizens decided not to scold him.

Jiang Wen was also pulled out for a lecture.

Although "Let the Bullets Fly" is a good movie that is loved by the people, when "The Sun Also Rises" made its grand debut at the Venice Film Festival, a reporter asked, "Some people like to watch "Transformers", but does anyone like "The Sun"?

Jiang Wen immediately countered, "You should go watch Transformers now, don't waste your time. It's like people eating vegetables. I like to eat meat, but I also eat vegetables. But there are people who only eat sweet potatoes their whole lives. I can't do anything about that!"

He then added: "Why are there so many talented directors in France, the United States, and Japan? Because they have many, many audiences who appreciate and are willing to understand art. Now in China, there are many bosses who can confidently say: 'I don't understand Jiang Wen's The Sun Also Rises!' Shameful.

Only in China would good movies fail at the box office and receive no public support because audiences don't understand them.

I don’t understand why young people like you, who are educated, full of ideals and relatively poor, don’t want to be businessmen, but you sympathize with the capitalists.

Why don't you sympathize with artists? What good can capitalists give you? What are you dreaming about?"

He also used the name of great principles to start criticizing the audience.

This has to be sprayed!

And brother Lu Chuan is back on the list.

And because of the "Nanjing, Nanjing" incident, the news of his previous angrily scolding netizens was dug up again.

And it was a message on Weibo. At that time, Lu Chuan was pretending to be cool, claiming that the movie was officially released in New York today and the New York Times gave it a very good review. As a result, an audience member claimed that it was a rubbish movie, and Lu Chuan's response was extremely foul language.

"Is it because I exposed your grandfather's incompetence? Hahaha!"

Another netizen responded to Lu Chuan, "Look at your reply, you are like an idiot."

Then Lu Chuan also responded with a curse word: "Are you sure you are not an idiot?"

This incident didn’t cause much of a stir last year, especially when “Nanjing Nanjing” was eclipsed by “Ip Man”.

When it was dug up again and people took a fresh look at it, they discovered that this man had a crooked butt!
Especially the sentence "Is it because it exposed your grandfather's incompetence?!" made countless people furious!

In your opinion, the Nanjing incident was caused by the incompetence of the Chinese people?
Some people were moved by Lu Chuan's movie before, but at this moment, the situation changed.

Therefore, Lu Chuan, Feng Xiaogang and Jiang Wen were directly singled out for criticism by the audience, and just because of the former's previous hostile relationship with Guan Ling, the netizens' criticism was as strong as 90%.

Lu Chuan accounted for 60% of the total and shared a large amount of battle with Feng Xiaogang.

After all, compared to saying that thing was incompetent, although the scolding of beheading a child was also unpleasant, it was also a bit small-minded.

And that guy's butt was so crooked that it was pointing to the sky.

So Feng Xiaogang’s Weibo posts were filled with curses!

"Did I chop your child? This is the first time I know of such a thing!"

"I voted with my feet? You're such a big shot, Feng Xiaogang, and everyone still has to buy the crap you make, right?"

"Aren't you going to have a new movie coming out? '1942'? It's up to you whether I buy it or not!"

Some people even threatened to buy tickets.

Netizens are obviously much more tolerant towards Jiang Wen.

"Since you won a Golden Lion Award and Let the Bullets Fly is really good, I won't criticize you anymore."

"I really don't understand "The Sun Also Rises". It's not a question of whether I sympathize with the capitalists or not, it's just that I really don't understand it! I'm scratching my head!"

"Jiang Wen, a good movie will not make the audience unable to understand it. If it's a literary classic, then people can't understand it. If you make an audio-visual thing and hide the content inside, people can tolerate it. Someone will analyze it later and understand it. But you have to let people watch it. If it's badly made and people can't watch it, who cares what's in it?"

As for Lu Chuan, the criticism was even more intense!
"Why don't you update your Weibo? Is it because you've been in the industry for so long and haven't updated your Weibo in ten years?!"

"Interview you. You can never beat Guan Ling at the box office. Is it because of your father's incompetence? Or is it because of your incompetence?!"

"Are you Chinese? Why do you never focus your camera on the perpetrators, but always scold the common people? You would rather show the criminals' sense of shame than face their bloody reality?"

"In the future, your family's epitaph will say: Because of your grandfather's incompetence, you were born in China; because of your father's incompetence, your box office never exceeded 100 million; and because of your own incompetence, you have been criticized by netizens your whole life!"

Netizens are still very strong in fighting spirit!

Lu Chuan was accused of being autistic again.

……

Feng Xiaogang Studio,

I saw that I had done nothing but was criticized online.

Feng Xiaogang was in a very bad mood.

The film he is about to release, 1942, is his first work after leaving Huayi. Feng Xiaogang is looking forward to creating another success with this film, but when he sees someone saying they won’t buy tickets, what can he do?!

I can't stand it anymore!

Feng Xiaogang really wanted to respond, but no matter how he responded, it would be uncomfortable.

It was only when he saw Guan Ling's speech that Feng Xiaogang did narrow his eyes.

As a director, who doesn’t have a dream of making a big movie?
But it cannot be expanded overseas, and the domestic market is so small, who can we sell it to?
If there are some bad reviews, won’t the director be furious? !
The work is the child, who wouldn’t protect it? !
Feng Xiaogang is filled with indignation!
"That's it, and you're still scolding me?!"

He took a look at the Weibo post and saw that the insults were really harsh!

I looked at Lu Chuan's Weibo again.

"Tsk, tsk."

In Feng Xiaogang's eyes, those who scolded him became much cuter.

He thought for a long time, liked Guan Ling's Weibo, and then advertised his own movie.

Although I am scared, the traffic is real!

You have to hug this thigh!
...

China Film.

"Can you take care of him? Director Han! China Film Group has invested in The Banquet! Aren't you afraid of losing all your money?!"

The one who shouted in anger was our great talent Luchuan.

A while ago, he was scolded on Weibo to the point of becoming autistic, and today he is being boycotted from all sides.

Everyone in Luchuan is numb!

Han Sanpin spread his hands.

"Isn't what he said true? He said he respected the audience, but you got angry first!"

"This is not about respecting the audience... This is about guiding. Look, he first used the emblem to harm the publicity of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons, and then Director Feng and I did it. This is a visible blow to the competitors!"

"Look, you're anxious again!" Han Sanping said, "Didn't you guys hand over the knife? You can't blame anyone else."

Lu Chuan wanted to say more.

All of a sudden, the assistant came over with a bang.

"Boss Han, Director Guan is making news again."

Han Sanpin was stunned.

"Bring it over and have a look."

The assistant quickly opened the webpage and saw Han Sanpin, which was Guan Ling’s first interview.

"Director Guan, you admit that Aquaman and Uncharted are not absolutely good films, but you still made them for the audience. Is it because you were short of money?"

A very sharp question dug a hole and waited for Guan Ling to fall into it.

Han Sanpin figured out the other party's purpose in just one second.

Lu Chuan was also listening.

then,

Guan Ling's voice came out calmly.

"I am not interested in money. I never touch money. Money is just a number to me..."

Ah this...

Han Sanpin was stunned... (End of this chapter)
