1905 movie network news At 12:30 noon today, director Feng Xiaogang released an open letter to Wanda Group Wang Jianlin on Weibo, using Pan Jinlian’s tone to attack Wanda Group because the former leader left to go to Huayi, which caused Huayi’s films to be 30% lower than the average of major theaters in the country. The most direct influence was directed by Feng Xiaogang. Its language is also very sharp: it has affected Chairman Wang’s hegemony over the world, and the little woman is a big crime.
"There is a small company called Huayi," Feng Xiaogang said in the open letter. "In order to save the fate of its destruction, a small corner was dug from your group – no, no, Chairman Wang, forgive the misnomer of the little woman, the corner of the small wall is not considered, it is just a small piece of wall skin." The implication that Wanda Group’s former executives left to Huayi caused internal dissatisfaction. Since then, Huayi’s films have been banned by Wanda Cinemas, and Wang Jianlin has been mocked for being "childish in business without talking about business". The current chairman of Wanda Group is Wang Jianlin, and according to people familiar with the matter, the former Wanda executive involved in the incident is Ye Ning.
Later, Fan Bingbing also forwarded the Weibo post from Director Feng to express his support, saying that "movies are not easy, and it is important to help each other."

Then, Wang Sicong responded to Feng Xiaogang and said: You are only allowed to squeeze out others, are we not allowed to be displeased? And warned Feng Xiaogang that if the box office is good, we will of course increase the number of films.
Then, Feng Xiaogang quickly forwarded Wang Sicong’s Weibo, saying: What I like most is your open-mindedness and honesty! And questioned the principle of Wanda’s dedication agreement.
However, the matter did not end like this. Huayi Brothers issued an official statement saying: As a listed company, the decision should be made to protect and respect investors as the first premise. As a listed film company, it should promote excellent films and industries as its own responsibility. Wang Zhonglei then forwarded Wang Sicong’s Weibo response, taking Du Yang, the former director of Huayi Brothers’ film marketing, and the former co-general manager of Huayi Brokerage Company as an example, saying that the personal flow in the industry is very normal. And the words also expressed their anger.
Lu Chuan, the famous director, also later expressed his views on the incident: "If a loud and noisy uproar can be transformed into attention and scrutiny of the film itself, this may be the greatest blessing for the film; if the empty ground is left with chicken feathers and melon rind, and the film is stranded on the beach alone, this is the greatest sorrow for the filmmaker." Lu Chuan went on to compare "I Am Not Pan Jinlian", a critical realist film that has undergone rebirth, to the local "120 Frames" and "Intermission". Finally, he also expressed his blessing for the film’s box office.
