On June 18, the well-known director Feng Xiaogang attended the Shanghai International Film Festival and fired at the scene to "scare" the audience, saying: "There are so many garbage movies because there are many garbage audiences."

Comment

Domestic movies in the past two years have indeed made people discouraged, shoddy manufacturing, horse racing money has become a common phenomenon in the industry, some so-called big IP, small fresh meat, variety show movies have made this pool of muddy water more and more dirty. In 2017, there was even a decline in the size of the box office, which was chilling.

Feng Xiaogang's "cannon" personality has long been understood by everyone over the years, this time, the "small steel cannon" has thrown the dagger of criticism at the general public, angrily denouncing "the audience has poor taste to have so many garbage movies", then, the question is, does this pot audience have to back?

Modern economics believes that it is not demand that creates supply, but supply that creates demand, which is what the great Jobs said, "Users don't know what they want until you put the product in front of them", the hegemony of Apple's mobile phone is not because users want smart phones, but Jobs told you: This is good.

Feng Xiaogang believes that "the audience decides the film" is actually inverted cause and effect, the audience often does not know what kind of film is good, which requires the director to exert his own initiative, which is also Feng Xiaogang said "to be the opponent of the audience, conquer the audience." As your opponent, the audience can not decide what cards you play, he can only choose whether to take the move, you blame the audience for watching garbage movies, so please ask, when the cinema is full of garbage movies, do you let the audience stifle the need to watch movies? Cancel this entertainment? Obviously, you have "nourished" the audience's appetite, but in turn accusing the audience of low taste and harming you can't produce a good movie, how absurd is this?

What is even more ridiculous is that many viewers actually feel the same way about this, they have always believed that their "taste" in watching movies is high, others are very low, and the words of the small steel cannon have made them find the resonance of superiority.

In fact, when we look back at Feng Xiaogang's firing over the years, we will find that he, as a disciple of the courtyard, always has a condescending sense of adjusting the taste of the people, seeing that others need education, seeing that the more they look at the more comfortable, I don't know if in the dead of night, he has been red-faced for "Night Feast", "Private Customization" and so on, and it is difficult to sleep? I think he didn't, so he could say it straightly: I blame you.
