"Wish Dragon": Aesthetics has the final say, or quality control has the final say

In Zigong, Sichuan, the company's project was filmed outside, finding time to avoid lethargic thoughts, and chose the last one among the three options of coffee shop, street sweeping and cinema. Zigong floats a little rain that entertains itself, which is neither annoying nor likable. Under the wetness of the silk thread, I opened the car door to smoke, and clicked on the ratings, introductions, short reviews and trailers of each movie in theaters. At this moment, "Wish Dragon" came into view, and the sentence "My future life takes a look at it." I can see the end.” It touched me quickly, deeply, and heavily. In the most confused years of my life, avoiding the path of the visible future was almost my stubborn insistence. buy tickets.

How to say it, the shortcomings in the trailer are almost completely mapped to the feature film: routine production, fast-moving/fast-selling quality, the main logic of the plot is based on the consumption of Jackie Chan's IP, in order to leverage the market (bar). This is an unhealthy production ecology. It is a kind of film that is based on speculation and research on audience preferences, rather than a film that guides aesthetics. However, in this unhealthy production ecology, I can also see a little thought of the director, some insertions with personal aesthetics. Although it can't affect the overall quality, it does let me see the light in the dark. Combined with the brutal growth of the mainland film industry over the past decade, I would like to say that the ecology that is unfriendly to producers is first expressed as an ecology that is unfriendly to audiences. It is visible that the audience is fed with little nourishment of industrial production, the producers are controlled by the loot, which is invisible. When it comes to the value of a movie, first of all, it is about aesthetics. Whether it is in the hands of high aestheticians or strong quality controllers, the impact on the quality of the movie is not the slightest bit. Who has the final say, first of all is about power, and then about aesthetic ability - almost the development trajectory of all walks of life. I am waiting for the people, and the producers and capitals who cannot interfere with the huge volume seem to be able to do nothing but wait quietly.

Of course, Tucao is aimed at the national work, but I didn't expect it to be a co-production between China and the United States. I'm a little puzzled - "Kung Fu Panda" is so successful because the right of quality control is in the hands of the aestheticians, but how to understand the failure of "Inseparable" and "The Great Wall"? I thought that aesthetics were not based on skin color.

Ps. I'm looking forward to the sale of creative manuals such as the art of on this theme. And that teapot is also quite fond of, don't you consider making it a peripheral?
