Chapter 493 War of Words

"The Stone" has exceeded 100 million, and its biggest impact is to raise the reputation of Tianmei Company to a higher level!

In the past, only China Film, Huayi, and Bona could achieve box office sales of more than 100 million yuan, followed by Tianmei Company...

And a small one can make a big difference.

Not only was it a huge success at the box office, but it also introduced a bunch of actors...

As a result, a lot of seminars on "The Stone" were held, and even the General Administration held a seminar at the Film Archive...

However, instead of being out of the circle, it was the seminar at Beijing Film Academy that had the greatest impact, because Gao Fenfen directly cursed!

Well, at the beginning, experts put forward some opinions on some characters, plot settings, picture performance, etc. in the film.

Hu Ke, a professor at Communication University, said, "The details of ridiculing the Thousand-Armed Guanyin in the film are not appropriate, because after all, it is an excellent program showing disabled people. In addition, the female images in the film are in a weak position, and they do not contribute to the film. What a highlight.”

Some experts invariably pointed out that some scenes in the film were too "dirty" and would cause adverse physiological reactions in people.

Another said, "I'm sure that commercial films like this are just passing by, and you won't remember anything after you go crazy!"

But when Professor Huang Shixian of BJ Film Academy pointed out that "this film is a farce rather than a comedy"...

Gao Fenfen "can't bear it": "I would like to ask all the professors and experts, under the market environment, should movies satisfy the common people or the professors?"

"The two major domestic movie websites, Shijiao.com, have nearly 30,000 people who have rated "The Stone", and Douban.com, about 10,000 people have rated "The Stone". The ratings are 8.8 and 8.6 respectively, and the full score is 10 points...I Wonder if their rating tapes represent public opinion?”

"In addition, everyone's definition of what an art film is is different. Are art films sacred and inviolable? Have various professors seen the connotation reflected in "Stone"! Unpaid wages to migrant workers, disputes between businessmen Interests, the lives of people at the bottom, including their living environment... That's not dirty, it's realistic! "Stone" was filmed last year and is a real record. Professors, please go outside and take a look. Not everyone lives in a high-end hotel in the community. !”

"It's an art film. If it's promoted as an art film, no one will buy tickets!"

"Let's understand, now is the era of market economy, not planned economy. A film that can stimulate the economy is a good film. Ordinary people say: "It's good to watch!" "That's beautiful!"

"Xudong told me before that movies are popular art! If the audience likes it, they will tell with the movie tickets in their hands! In my opinion, burning hundreds of millions of things to fool the people is really in bad taste!"

"As for the passing of time... I remember that at the "Titanic" seminar, an expert said, "Titanic" may win the popularity of audiences around the world, but as far as "movies" are concerned, the film is just a joke. It’s just a game to throw money around.’ This shows the level of some domestic professors…”

"In addition, with the market economy, I feel that directors and film creators are not qualified to teach the audience a lesson. Only the audience has the right to use the tickets in their hands to teach the director and film creators a lesson..."

"From now on, we won't bother professors to comment on the commercial films we make. Anyway, you will definitely not like it, but it doesn't matter, as long as the audience likes it!"

Slap in the face!

Gao Fenfen can be said to have become famous in one battle.

The outside world knows that Shen Xudong's company is called Tianmei Media, and they also know that the boss of the company is a woman...

This time he finally appeared in public!

A group of professors were speechless and had nothing to say.

Netizens also contributed assists:

"This film shows the sadness, helplessness and black humor of little people, laid-off workers. How can these professors not understand this?"

"Damn it, it's against you. Is it you who has the final say or the audience?"

"These professors from Lao Shizi, "The Promise" is so bad, they didn't come out to criticize it, but "The Stone" was liked by everyone, but they jumped out and scolded everyone!"

“It is true that some people, mostly older and senior intellectuals, always live in their own small circles and think that the world is as simple, pure and beautiful as they think.

We can't control their dreams, but we ordinary people can't live if they do that - shouldn't our ordinary people's living conditions be seen?

You are not allowed to talk, you are not allowed to moan, and you are not allowed to joke around and have fun? "

"Professors think it's dirty, probably because their living environment is relatively superior, so they feel that "some pictures are too "dirty" and will cause people to have adverse physiological reactions, but it doesn't mean that they can't see it. None. I think this movie is one of the few realistic movies in recent times. It uses an absurd story to show the most realistic side of the Chinese people’s living conditions..."

Well, even though "The Stone" was released, it still sparked a lot of discussion!

…

Shen Xudong was uncharacteristically different. In an interview, he said, "Don't care what they say. If what they say makes sense, we will listen. If what they say is wrong, we won't listen. It's okay. Evaluating movies is a very subjective thing. If someone likes it, just do it." Some people don't like it, it's normal.

"I have read the opinions of various experts. Others don't matter, but some professors said that they are spoofing the Thousand-Armed Guanyin... I want to refute this. You can go to the performance troupe in the county to see, there are basically performances of the Thousand-Armed Guanyin...

In addition, Thousand-Hand Avalokitesvara is not a performance exclusive to disabled people, but the Spring Festival Gala magnifies this matter, and the Spring Festival Gala focuses on showing the beauty of Thousand-Hand Avalokitesvara. If it is to show disabled people, why not create a 500-hand Avalokitesvara? ’

Shen Xudong took the initiative to refuse the scolding war...

Nothing meaningful.

Everyone has different values. You are like Huang Shixian, a professor at BJ Film Academy, who was the teacher of Jia Zhangke and Wang Xiaoshuai...

People just admire art films.

Are you talking to him about the market?

useless!

The good movies they think are the ones exclusively for film festivals. "The Stone" was a big hit. They think that now Chinese-language movies are moving closer to the commercial side, people are becoming more and more impetuous, and fewer and fewer people are making movies with peace of mind...

To put it bluntly, these old experts are still self-centered and monopolize the right to interpret movies. It doesn’t matter how the market is, whether the people like it after watching it or not – it’s important that they themselves enjoy it after watching it.

The appearance of "Stone" broke the inertial thinking of this group of people...

Otherwise, why didn't "The Promise" criticize it, but instead caught "Stone" and criticized it fiercely?

It's normal for old guys to be like this. It would be strange if they applauded!

Who told...a group of people in Tianmei Media have nothing to do with the system...
