July 7th afternoon.

Beijing Film Academy is particularly lively. Although it has already been summer vacation, many students in Beijing have flocked back; the security guards closely guard the school gates, blocking a large number of young movie fans and media reporters.

On the beautifully landscaped modern campus, the roads are neat and surrounded by green trees, and it looks like a young university atmosphere that is very suitable for studying.

The old Beijing Film Academy campus is indeed picturesque!

On the campus road of the main teaching building, a large group of people surrounded a young man with a black haired dress in a gray and black casual shirt and jeans. He was next to him, and a few young men of similar age and a few foreigners...

"Principal, don't be so grand. We come here to promote it, it should have occupied the light of Beijing Film Academy!"

Zhang Huijun looked proud: "...It's not okay to be grand. The two most famous directors in the history of Beijing Film Academy have to return to their alma mater, of course they should be grand!"

“…Senior Yimou is the most famous director, I definitely can’t count it!”

"...You are even more powerful than Yimou now. Your dormitory has now become a place for a group of new students to worship!"

"So exaggerated?"

It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang Junsheng has donated a large number of equipment and equipment to Beijing Film Academy every year in recent years, and has also set up a novice director program. Students in the director department of Beijing Film Academy can apply for director funds of less than 500,000 yuan. Of course, the project must be approved by the person in charge of Yuehua...

...

In the multi-functional screening hall, there is a stage covered with a red carpet in front of it, and there are pleasant flower pot plants. Zhang Junsheng and Lao Mouzi sat on the mahogany chair in the center of the stage, holding a microphone and mineral water was placed on the ground.

The wide screening hall below the stage was full, with some leaders and invited media reporters sitting in the front row. Behind them were young students from Beijing Film Academy, the director's department, the art department, and the performance department...

"Okay, today, the two great directors who went out of Beijing Film Academy returned to their alma mater to discuss the movie with you. You can ask any questions you have!"

The host spoke, and someone immediately raised his hand, and it was a boy.

"I would like to ask Director Zhang Junsheng, you have won the Palme d'Oscar now. Do you think you are better than Director Zhang Yimou?"

This question is very interesting. There are always a group of people on the Internet who insist on binding Zhang Junsheng, Zhang Yimou and Ma Xiaokang together.

Zhang Junsheng smiled and asked back, "What kind of concept is it?"

"It's influence..."

"That's far worse!"

Zhang Junsheng continued: "We mentioned the director before, and there is no need to say anyone. Everyone knows that this refers to director Zhang Yimou!"

Zhang Yimou was a little embarrassed: "It's not that exaggerated..."

"Then say that this is indeed something?" Zhang Junsheng added with a smile: "I'll tell you something that everyone doesn't know. The Berlin Golden Bear, directed by Yimou, was actually completely lucky!"

"luck?"

The audience off the court didn't understand what Zhang Junsheng meant...

"At that time, the General Administration originally wanted to send Chen Kaige's "King of Children" to Berlin. Director Chen Kaige didn't know what he thought, but maybe he felt that his aura was more in line with Cannes... In short, he refused, and then Director Zhang had the chance. Everyone knew what happened next!"

Lao Tozi became the first director of the fifth generation to win the highest honors of the three major European film festivals, and since then he started his life as a madman in awards...

"By the way, "King of Kids" won the Cannes Golden Alarm Clock Award. This matter must be reported!"

As for publicity, of course you have to step on others!

Who is better to step on?

Of course, that's still Brother Chen Kai!

The most interesting thing about the two heroes of the empire is to step on each other!

Lao Taozi is a kind person and never takes the initiative to step on others, so let Zhang Junsheng come over!

When "Hero" was criticized by "all over the country", Chen Kaige also criticized: "I don't like "Hero" because it has a high box office. I filmed "The King of Qin" and lost 70 million..."

"The Promise" was released, and Lao Touzi didn't say a word...

...

When talking about the shooting of "The Great Wall", Zhang Yimou suffered a lot:

"Actually, I don't like Hollywood's industrial system, I feel it's a shackle on art!"

"I have no doubts about the script, the right to adapt, this... is too painful!"

Zhang Junsheng was a little embarrassed: "In fact, the Hollywood industrial system protects the entire set of order. Movies with investment of more than 10 million US dollars must be intervened by a trade union and a third party, that is, an insurance company. Once the insurance company intervenes, the director, producer, and actors cannot modify the script that has passed the review at will!"

"The production cost of "The Great Wall" is close to 100 million US dollars, which is definitely a popcorn commercial film. The script is in depth until it reaches its peak. We must consider the aesthetic perception of global audiences!"

The reporter from the Beijing News stood up and asked: "Mr. Zhang, why is the release of "The Great Wall" in the mainland one week later than overseas... Some people say it is because they have to cooperate with "The Great Founding of the Party". Is that true?"

Zhang Junsheng smiled disdainfully: "Why is the release of "The Great Wall" a week after it is postponed? Don't you know why? Go and ask your editor!"

"What does it mean, I don't know very much..."

"It's not just to block your mouth. Which movie is director Zhang Yimou released? You are not the one who dances the most? Tell me, how much did you charge this time?"

There was an uproar in the audience...

Zhang Yimou was about to say something, but Zhang Junsheng waved his hand and picked up the microphone: "A few people from our public relations department have received the news that some of their peers have spent more than 20 million to hire navy troops to discredit "The Great Wall" and director Zhang Yimou!"

The reporter was so angry that his face turned red and his neck was thick: "...You are slandering!"

"...Is it a slander? You know in your heart. When the movie is released tomorrow, everyone will know!"

Zhang Junsheng stood up: "I'll tell you a story. At the Beijing press conference of "Heroes", a reporter asked: "What else does "Heroes" have besides fighting, scenery and big stars?" When director Zhang Yimou answered the question, the reporter ignored him and started to call his cell phone..."

"I really don't understand why everyone has such a big prejudice against director Zhang Yimou. No matter who asks me, I will say that in the past thirty years, director Zhang Yimou has made the most contribution to Chinese films. He has laid the glory of Chinese art films in international films and opened up the era of Chinese commercial blockbusters. He is definitely a milestone figure in the history of Chinese films."

"Director Zhang Yimou is a very respected director in Europe and Hollywood, but he ended up being "comparable to merits and demerits", "mixed praise and criticism", and "unpreserved in his later years"..."

"Heroes opened the era of Chinese-language commercial blockbusters and truly saved the entire Chinese film, with great achievements and benefits to this day."

"The Internet was not yet developed in the early years, and the paper media still had considerable influence, and the public lacked understanding of movies. These "film critics" who came to the Internet and liked to pretend to be in the clouds and mountains also had the right to comment on movies to a considerable extent. In their words, "Hero" is actually a bad movie!"

"If you want to compare the achievements, Director Zhang Yimou can beat all Chinese-language filmmakers, especially those Taiwanese and Hong Kong film masters, Yang Dechang, Hou Xiaoxian, and Cai Mingliang. How many times have they won the Golden Globe nominations? 0 times, Director Zhang Yimou won the nominations alone! "

"All the awards won by Korean directors can't beat Zhang Yimou, but it's ironic that such a national treasure-level director and artist are still being hacked every day and always being hacked."

"As of now, "The Great Wall" has won a box office of US$160 million worldwide, and it is certain that it will be a profit. This is a very successful commercial film!"

"Business films do not pursue box office, are you sick?"
