What they say

Guo Jingming is, no doubt, an impressive narrator of his generation's spiritual world.

Chen Xiaoming, literary critic.

I talked to many young writers, but many of them think only how much they can earn, what I can give them. Guo is different. He kept telling me how much he can earn for me and what he can do for me. He is very smart, he knows that he has to earn money for others before he earns for himself.

Li Bo, vice-president of Changjiang Literature and Arts Publishing House, in an earlier interview.

To me, Guo is more like a brilliant manager, who knows well about creating and selling cultural products.

His movie is such a brand new genre on the market that its freshness frightens me. It is his passport to the world of filmmaking, and maybe the epitaph of the older generation of filmmakers, including me.

It is tailored for those younger than 25 years old, but the controversy and discussion it raises will reach a much wider group.

Zhang Wenbo, vice-president of New Classics Media Company and a friend.

Guo is anything but a waverer. He knows exactly what he wants and once he decides something, he goes for it.

Some directors think they are artists, but Guo knows clearly he wants the film to sell. He does interviews from 10 am to midnight, and never censors questions.
