Jackie Chan's way is simple

When I was in school, I always liked Jackie Chan very much. The witty fighting design is very unique, and it is well-known without a substitute. Many movies have become classics.

At that time, Big Brother Jackie Chan had not yet become synonymous with Chinese culture. Every play was serious and innovative, and Big Brother was still very good at playing at that time.

It has been unusual in the past two years, and I don’t know which wicked leader of the dynasty had the idea. In order to highlight our Chinese culture, the elder brother was chosen. Of course, there are reasons for it: obedience, internationalization, and kung fu.

In fact, the previous reputation of the eldest brother was not perfect, but with the appearances on various occasions, the lead singer and the announcement, the businessmen realized the commercial value of the eldest brother, and the eldest brother became more and more popular, and of course his head became more and more It seems less up-to-date. Of course, I'm talking about making movies, you know.

Of course, just like the mainstream comic actor Guo Degang said, the Chinese cultural market allows you to do this. A set of tricks can be played for a lifetime, and you can make money every time you play it. As long as you become famous, it doesn't matter how you act later, the important thing is that you can get money as long as you act.

If so, if I were the big brother, I wouldn't think about any innovation. A single T-shirt, a set of dance techniques, a Western and Eastern theme, mixed with some Forbidden City, the Great Wall, calligraphy, Chinese medicine... Knead it, it's a sum of money, and now filming is a business that can make a profit without losing money. You just don't need to think about it for the rest of your life.

In this society in China, the most powerful business competition is not how awesome products you design. Like Steve Jobs, although every IT person mentions this name, his eyes are red, but you know, this is in the China. I admire these great gods, but I also know that in this magical land, the greatest gods do not rely on that kind of thing to create miracles.

Let’s not talk about the examples of state-owned enterprises. You also understand the stock market. Even if you look at the entertainment industry, you can often see who can play the role of resource integration. These good players read the entertainment news a little bit, and see who often shakes hands with President Han cordially, and it is obvious that Jackie Chan is one of them.

Americans want to play with Chinese concepts, you can come to me, Chinese people, you want to play American routines, you also come to me, I will integrate a little and live together. No one has ever played with our eldest brother when it comes to internationalization and Chineseization.

The problem is that most of the people who make money only by this way of playing have no strong vitality and no nutrition. They are just a new form of so-called cultural fast food. Those arts that are rooted in people's lives, those living emotions, those cultural creations that make people jaw drop, those admirable expressions of light and shadow are hard to see.

Because of the influence of Google, those who do the Internet have formed a concept, which is to maximize the good for users, and "everything is coming." In fact, this is often an unattainable paranoid idealism, but without some paranoia in the world, life would not be so good.
