Xu Hui has commented on domestic literary and artistic films in public more than once, including some directors who focus on literary and artistic films. Wang Xiaoshuai is the most typical example.

Since Wang Xiaoshuai became famous in Rotterdam, he has been a little immersed in the spirit of self-expression.

"Extreme Cold", "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle", "Qinghong", "I eleven"...

A self-analysis of the literary and artistic director's sublimation path was staged...

Abbreviated as death and a director of art films that are far away from the market and the masses...

Of course, his early works were not bad, and with his unique long shots and plain drawing techniques, he showed the poor and backward China to the world audience...

Then he might be a little immersed in this style, with several works in succession, all with similar themes...

Entering the 21st century, especially since the mainland film market has become popular in recent years, no one has paid attention to Wang Xiaoshuai

In the eyes of financial owners, movies that cannot be sold are money-loss goods, and movies that are destined to lose money. Who would invest in them?

In the eyes of the audience, what the hell are you shooting, don’t watch it!

For directors like Xu Hui who can make commercial films, this is the best time;

For art film directors like Wang Xiaoshuai who are only willing to express themselves, this is the worst era!

The bad is the comparison!

With the comparison, the audience realized that domestic movies can be very interesting and can be filmed so that we can all accept them.

With this comparison, Wang Xiaoshuai and his group of people are even more incapable of selling their works.

Of course, there are also those who follow the market and want to make some commercial films. Then they found that commercial films are not as simple as they imagined. The most successful ones should belong to Ning Hao and Lu Chuan. The former is not bad. Ning Hao also said that he is a commercial film director. As for Lu Chuan, a director who is very typical of trying to work towards commercial films but has never been able to reach the threshold...

Wang Xiaoshuai is different from them, so he only makes art films!

To be more precise, he looks down on the director who makes commercial films!

Xu Hui is a very typical commercial director. In other words, he looks down on Xu Hui!

……

At the beginning of the discussion, Wang Xiaoshuai made the first speech: As soon as I went on stage, I found myself getting on the trap. I told myself repeatedly that I must say calmly, don’t be excited and don’t offend others. But seeing this person so calm, I can’t calm down anymore. The film market is now becoming popular, and the box office of over 100 million has become common. But to be honest, I think as a director, those who have over 100 million yuan are not necessarily successful people!

I think these directors must envy me because I can decide that no matter how poor my works are, I have to bear it. Otherwise, people's beliefs will be lost. When Yu Dan said "The Analects of Confucius", it would be unpleasant to collapse once the beliefs are lost... I think these directors must envy me, and director Zhang Yimou will also envy me!

Eighteen years have passed, and countless people have advised me to make commercial films, but I think I should persist. If I can live longer in this life, I will carry longer. If I live shorter, I will carry to a certain point. I firmly believe that movies should have a little cultural meaning. I can't sway, and I will sway like them in one go!

Compared to a few years ago, our art films were almost out of reach, which is a very bad phenomenon! I think our relevant units should set up special funds to support the creation of art films, and movies should always be art! Now that people are rich and willing to do charity, you can do charity for art films, why not protect art films?

Xu Hui rolled his eyes, too lazy to talk to an arrogant artist who couldn't tell the difference between the times and did not understand the market context.

So he didn't take it any further

But Wang Xiaoshuai took his contempt as guilty and deliberately provoked: You are making money, are you happy? You are under great pressure. The next time your movie will cost more than 100 million, you will fail!

You're pretty broad!

I'm curious, Director Xiaoshuai, from which aspect do you judge that I don't like my works? Or, who told you that I can't decide on my works?

Also, in my opinion, it is a very old idea to divide the film into two parts: commercial and artistic. There are so many commercial blockbusters, but the audience calls them no content. But the problem that director Xiaoshuai also calls the so-called humanistic and connotational art films, and the audience will also scold them. The movies you make are accepted by the public, and then it is a good movie, otherwise it is a bad movie!

In my opinion, a movie without a market or audience is a bad movie! Even if it wins the Rotterdam Gold Award!

Movies should not be ideological, but return to the movie itself. Everyone can see that the domestic market is expanding. What should we think about now is how we directors make movies that the audience likes, rather than talking about topics like art films, commercial films, etc.! Hollywood is eyeing it. According to the agreement to join the WTO, after 2012, there are more than 30 imported blockbusters every year!

We cannot allow the audience to be occupied by all Hollywood movies. Once the audience develops the Hollywood movie-watching habits, they will no longer choose to watch our movies! It is at this critical moment, and what is the point of supporting so-called art films?

Xu Hui was just in his prime. How could he accept such a straightforward provocation? Besides, he himself has no good feelings for art film directors like Wang Xiaoshuai and is naturally hostile.

Also, you used to say that the government should not let the government manage movies and leave everything to the market. Now, the market hates you, and you want the government to specifically support art films? You have told you all the time, why?

...Movies are art! The Rotterdam Film Festival is the recognition of all filmmakers all over the world. You actually say it is a bad movie. What qualifications do you have?

Yes, movies are art, but the process of the birth of movies is very commercial. Every link requires money, and even the simplest art films require costs!

You dare to say that art films are simple!

In my opinion, the so-called art film is to create an atmosphere and then find a few male and female actors to interpret some humanity...

You are ignorant!

Well, Wang Xiaoshuai was already angry. If he hadn't been worried about someone taking photos on the scene, he would have thought he would take action!

Xu Hui looked indifferent, but he was never forgiven: We can let the audience speak, after all, they are the ones who buy tickets, not you!

Wu He, the owner of Shanghai's largest theater chain, slowly said: Don't we ordinary people just like to watch movies such as fighting, killing, and joking!

A movie called entertainment first

Many directors also know that they are just unwilling to admit it or unwilling to shoot such a movie.

Because most of them can’t make commercial films well!

To be honest, these people need to have a reputation. Anyone with enough basic skills will be able to guarantee a box office of over 100 million with the current market capacity.

That is why they hold up the slogans of art films to conceal their cowardice in their bones!

……

Chinese-language films, especially domestic Chinese-language films, have been particularly prominent in recent years. The contradiction between commercial and artistic films.

The movies sold at a good box office, and a group of colleagues accused you of betraying the art of movies and actually making commercial movies. You are too vulgar!

Why do you say that? Isn’t it because they can’t make movies that are popular with the audience?

It’s like the crosstalk world opposes Guo Degang and says that he has the same meaning as the three common people.

He tried his best to advocate, ‘You must be elegant!’

This kind of face is particularly in line with the so-called artists!

It is those who think that art is so noble and should be separated from secular industries that ultimately ruin art...

This topic has been revealed, and it is the turn of discussion on "Chinese Film and the World"

Xu Hui was still one of the three of them talking about the group, but the one sitting with him was Lu Chuan...

It's quite embarrassing. The two of them had a fight some time ago!

So in the eyes of the two directors, why can't many of our movies go overseas? Director Lu Chuan, let me talk about it first?
