In today's film industry, directors not only attract the attention of the audience with their works, but their remarks often become the focus of public attention. Recently, director Lu Chuan caused an uproar due to his evaluation of the movie " Catch a Baby ".
Lu Chuan commented on a certain platform: "The domination of the Chinese film market by low-quality, strong-base comedy films is a tragedy for the culture." This comment quickly aroused widespread heated discussion. Regardless of the right or wrong of his views, as a director, whether it is appropriate to comment so openly and sharply on the works of his peers is worth pondering.
In a diversified film market, films of different types and styles have their own value and audience. Comedy films bring joy to the audience and relieve the stress of life in a light-hearted and humorous way, which is understandable in itself. However, Lu Chuan characterized it as "low quality and strong base" and raised it to the level of "cultural sadness". This kind of overly absolute and negative evaluation may not only hurt the creative enthusiasm of colleagues, but also easily mislead the audience.
What is even more unexpected is that after triggering heated discussions, Lu Chuan and his company claimed that their accounts were stolen and content that was not posted by him appeared. This explanation certainly makes things more complicated. If the account was indeed stolen, then Lu Chuan is undoubtedly the victim; but if this is just an excuse to escape the pressure of public opinion, it is a great harm to public trust.
Just when both parties were insisting on their opinions, the third-party platform responded: "The users deleted it themselves." This response made the incident even more confusing. What kind of technical judgment and evidence is the platform’s statement based on? If the platform’s judgment is accurate, then Lu Chuan’s explanation is untenable; conversely, if the platform’s judgment is wrong, then Lu Chuan’s reputation may be unfairly damaged.
Looking back at similar incidents in the past, it is not difficult to find that public figures often need to be more cautious when making remarks. Once remarks cause controversy, trying to escape responsibility by denying or making excuses is often counterproductive. Because the public’s eyes are sharp, what they want to see more is sincerity and responsibility.
For the director, his identity has a special influence. Their evaluations not only represent personal opinions, but may also affect the atmosphere and development of the entire industry. Therefore, when making comments, you should analyze it from a professional perspective based on an objective and impartial stance, rather than jumping to conclusions based solely on personal preferences or prejudices.
At the same time, if you really made inappropriate remarks on impulse, then bravely admitting your mistake and taking responsibility will win more respect and understanding from the public than making excuses to deny it. In this era where information spreads rapidly and widely, integrity and responsibility are the most valuable qualities of public figures.
In short, Lu Chuan’s incident has brought profound enlightenment to the entire film industry and even society. We hope that directors can face the public with a more professional, responsible and sincere attitude and bring us more excellent works and valuable remarks. At the same time, we also hope that the platform can continuously improve its management mechanism, ensure the authenticity and fairness of information, and provide the public with a clear and credible communication environment.
