Hello, dear readers! Have you ever wondered whether a director makes a film in pursuit of artistic excellence, or just to satisfy the needs of the audience's pocket? The film industry of this year's Spring Festival file can be described as unsettling, and four of the eight movies collectively announced their retirement, including many works with a double harvest at the box office and word of mouth, what kind of dispute is this?
Four films have announced their retirement, including "Let's Shake the Sun Together" and "Mr. Red Carpet", which makes people wonder, is it really just to pursue high box office? Is the enthusiasm of the audience really understood by the directors during the Spring Festival? Let's uncover the mystery of the withdrawal of this Spring Festival movie.
As of 14:45 on February 17, 2024, the box office situation shows that the enthusiasm of the audience is still there, and the box office of the top four films has exceeded 1.2 billion yuan, and the movie-watching boom nationwide can be described as continuing to rise. However, four films have chosen to withdraw, among which the box office of "Let's Shake the Sun Together" and "Mr. Red Carpet" has approached 100 million yuan. Does this indicate that directors have a problem with their understanding of audience preferences, or that they are unable to find a balance between art and commerce?
As for the reasons for the withdrawal of these four films, are the explanations given by the directors trustworthy? They claimed that the schedule was chosen incorrectly and that it would be released again at the right opportunity, but this explanation aroused doubts and ridicule from netizens. The audience has said that this is to treat the Spring Festival movie theater as a playground, only caring about chasing the box office, and they are not satisfied with the box office of nearly 100 million. In this regard, do you also think that directors ignore the quality of the film itself and only pursue a higher box office?
Among them, the resources of the two films "Eight Rings: The Nether of the Canopy" and "The God of Wealth Cat" are relatively poor, but the directors have voiced their requests for help through various means before the release of the films, does this make you question the professional level of the directors? Is it true that the audience's reputation of the movie is only because of strong competitors, rather than the directors' own problems?
And for the audience, what kind of movies they like and when they are willing to go into the cinema are all things that directors should have a deep understanding of. The audience has lost their enthusiasm, will the directors be able to regain their strength when they release it again? Or, has the retreat of the Spring Festival stalls made the audience lose confidence in these works?
Between art and commerce, directors may need to rethink and pursue high box office while not ignoring the audience's requirements for the quality of their works. Film is not only entertainment, but also an art, and directors need to maintain their dedication to art while pursuing commercial success. Perhaps, this retreat turmoil is an opportunity for directors to reflect, hoping that they can handle the relationship between art and commerce in a more balanced way in their future creations.
