Guo doesn't care

Helmsman of Tiny Times films shrugs off criticism, sets a new box-office record and says money isn't a bad word. Xu Fan reports.

When asked about the longtime criticism of his materialism-oriented franchise Tiny Times, Guo Jingming, the writer and director behind one of the country's most successful movie series, seemed to wave off such reminders at a recent media event.

"They (critics and media) have mocked me for many years," he says. "But I know what I want and the way I prefer to do it."
