One sighed that South Korea's excellent performance in the 2015 Asian Cup in Australia made me unhappy. I am a country in the sky, and the national celebration is only due to the top eight. It is really not very demanding, ranging from the first-class in Asia to the third-class in Asia. When I lost to North Korea and Thailand, and seeing the rise of South Korean football, I was full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
The second is the movie itself. The past year was the year I watched the most Korean movies, "Snowpiercer", "Day of Landing", "Sunshine Sisters", "The Defender", "Horror Live", "Strange Her" , and then to "Ming Liang Sea Battle", the climaxes are repeated, and the surprises are repeated.
In the past, the definition of Korean film and television programs was that women’s footbindings were smelly and long, including university professors who also warned us not to watch Korean dramas. In fact, the status of women in South Korea is very low, so the plots of princes and princesses in Korean dramas are all about Korean women’s lust. the result of.
Because of my work, I rarely like to follow dramas. Korean dramas even make me sneer. I feel that the stories of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, illness and death and the content of our Manchu customs and tearing devils are half a pound. I know that I have seen the above Korean movies. I have to express the emotion of the questioner on Zhihu: Is the depth of Korean movies beyond the reach of domestic movies? Why?
If Jiang Wen's "One Step Away" overestimated the audience's aesthetic sentiment, the mainland box office would never stop at 28 billion this year, and breaking the integer barrier is not out of reach. The box office TOP20 list is also equally divided between China and foreign countries, but whether the movies on the list are on the list Is it really as glamorous as box office receipts?
Obviously not, "Little Times 3", "Macao Times", "Jingcheng No. 81" received a flood of bad reviews, so how did they squeeze into the top 20?
Celebrity appeals, marketing methods, and industry bonuses are nothing more than a big pot of rice that the film industry told the development of. The team that used to work mainly did the outdoor advertising part of film promotion. I heard that this year, the teamleader's own performance reached 140 million. How to do it? of? Industry bonuses.
Therefore, the rapid surge in box office revenue in the Mainland does not mean that Chinese movies have really made a "quality" leap. The fact that "Heart Flower Road Fang" can climb to a high position is just a clever plot, aiming at the stressful living conditions of the Chinese people, I want to give Xu Zheng and Huang Bo praised them for being a model of commercial films. But movies are commercial, and movies are also art. How many of the TOP20 movies at the box office are worth watching again and again? How much will be worthy of our nostalgia? miss?
The smashing of the halberd and sinking into the sand in films such as "Embroidered Spring Knife", "Return", "Golden Age", "Tuina", "One Step Away" can not be said to be a wake-up call, but looking back suddenly, the Chinese people are more and more fond of spoofing jokes, I didn't say that Not good, but if you blindly cater to the audience, how can the soul of Chinese movies not be missing?
After watching Lou Ye's "Massage", I can only tell my colleagues that there are N sex scenes, and I said bitterly, in fact, I am saving the country through curves, such a good movie, how can I say that this nation does not pay enough attention to the marginalized human beings in society, everyone I don't even want to watch it anymore. I'm already stressed and I just want to relax. Lou Ye is really neither pornographic nor violent, but why was he banned? Is it a threat to the ruling class? Awakened to free will? I'm afraid that without the SARFT, the audience's aesthetic orientation has already kicked Lou Ye out of this industry feast.
. . . . . . . . . . . Dividing line. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Having said too much content that has nothing to do with this film, it is hard not to compare the Mingliang naval battle with the Jiawu naval battle at the end of the Jiawu year. There is a victory and a defeat.
The Wanli Korean War behind the Mingliang naval battle reflects the decline and powerlessness of the Ming Dynasty everywhere. If it weren't for the weakening of the country's strength, it would not have provided so many TV drama materials for Jianzhou Jurchen. Even if it declined to Sri Lanka, it was still written in the edict to Toyotomi Hideyoshi during the two wars: "Knock down thousands of miles and plead with it."
There must be a price to pay for the failure to pretend, and only then did the Mingliang Sea Battle unfold. The arrogant Chinese civilization cannot always rely on external causes to obtain a sense of urgency.
In contrast, the construction of spiritual civilization in China has long been abandoned. High-end people pay homage to Tibetan Buddhism, and small entrepreneurs are full of Sinology, and nothing can cover up the lack of belief of a whole generation after the Cultural Revolution.
In fact, my country's cultural industry is also facing a "sounding sea battle". It seems like a hundred flowers are blooming, but in fact pan-entertainment commercial films are thriving. Who will save China's cultural industry? Sanma's shareholding in Huayi Brothers is nothing but the profit-seeking nature of the capital market.
Finally, I want to give "Ming Liang Sea Battle" a compliment. Chinese businessmen and literati, is this kind of backbone and belief we lack? Chinese films should never admit defeat like Yi Sun-shin.
Do you still think it's not the dead place for Chinese movies now? I wouldn't say that commercial films are psychotic poisons, but they are actually serious nutritional deficiencies. It's like a delicious braised pork meal, if you eat it every day, everyone will get bored.
Don't be deceived by the rising box office revenue in the Mainland, and don't be brainwashed by the Chinese elements of Hollywood blockbusters. The Chinese film industry still has a long way to go. In blessing the colleagues of AIA, we should also take a bigger step, and don't be afraid to get involved.
