At a symposium on "Challenges Facing Asian Films"held at the Hong Kong International Film Festival on the 16th, Jia Zhangke blasted the pride of mainland filmmakers and said that Hollywood and mainland co-productions were only for making money. At the same time, he also pointed out that the lack of talent reserves is the biggest crisis facing the mainland film industry. But for some other co-production projects, Jia Zhangke's attitude is positive,"China's film market is very large, local scripts and stories certainly not enough to support such a large industry, so co-production or purchase."

at the forum on "challenges facing Asian Film" held at the Hong Kong International Film Festival on the 16th, Jia Zhangke blasted mainland filmmakers for their pride, saying that Hollywood co-produced with the mainland only to make money, and he also pointed out that the shortage of talent is the biggest crisis facing the mainland film industry.

the original title Jia Zhangke angrily complained that mainland filmmakers are too proud: if you have money, you don't like anything.

as we all know, the famous director Feng Xiaogang is known as "Little Steel Cannon", but Jia Zhangke, who can break dance in front of people, also has the potential to be a sprinkler. On March 16, Director Jia suddenly threw himself on himself, blasted the pride of mainland filmmakers at a forum on "challenges facing Asian Film" held at the Hong Kong International Film Festival, and then blasted Hollywood for co-production with the mainland only to make money.

Director Chen Desen very much agrees with Jia Zhangke's point of view: "the last film I made in the mainland encountered this problem. Many of the staff were not very professional, but I dare not talk about them at all, because as soon as they talked about their bad work, they quit, and they really didn't come the next day." Chen Desen said helplessly, "there are too many job opportunities in the mainland. although many people have entered the film industry, they have no sense of struggle at all. this is indeed a great crisis for the film industry in the mainland."

after listening to Chen Desen's words, Jia Zhangke felt deeply. He continued to "fire the gun". "mainland filmmakers are too proud now, because if they have money, they don't like anything. In fact, we still have a lot to learn, more cooperation and more learning in order to make up for our shortcomings. " Referring to the current predicament of mainland films, Barbara, chairman of the Venice Film Festival, said: "the Chinese film market is huge. In fact, there is no need for a foreign market at all. China can meet all the needs. But I think Chinese films still need to improve the quality of their films most."

Jia Zhangke said, "for Hong Kong films, I think it would be a pity to weaken the locality in order to cater to the mainland market." Jia Zhangke denied bluntly whether he would compromise with investors in order to make the film. "I am a very pessimistic person. If one day no one invests in my film, then I will not make it. I don't have to be a director. I don't miss being a director too much, so I won't cater to the market just because I want my film to continue."

when it comes to film cooperation between Hollywood and the mainland, Jia Zhangke is even more angry. "Hollywood films are privileged in China. Chinese directors cannot make films of that kind. Now Hollywood wants to combine with China. What else can they do but make money?" How can they help us? " However, for some other co-production projects, Jia Zhangke's attitude is positive. "the film market in China is very large, and local scripts and stories are certainly not enough to support such a large industry, so there will be more and more co-production or buying foreign film IP, and regional cooperation is also very helpful. For example, "the Dead of Mountains and Rivers" is a Sino-French co-production. When this film is released in China and France respectively, it can enjoy the preferential policies of the two countries. " Jia Zhangke also revealed that his company has just bought a work by Japanese reasoning novelist Keigo Higano and will put it on the big screen in the future.

South Korean director Wu Sheng-wook believes that special attention should be paid to co-production with any country or region, and must be investigated clearly before starting. "Korean films have worked with Hong Kong before, but facts have proved to be not very successful." Chen Desen believes that "Hong Kong is a very difficult place to survive, and it is impossible to meet the production cost of a film by relying solely on box office receipts, so Hong Kong filmmakers still have to rush out of Hong Kong to survive." Chen Desen said, "I have seen some Malaysian works before, and many of them are very good. In fact, if other countries and regions have good scripts and ideas, we should all cooperate."
