The glory of the "Soviet Union" film belonged to the "Soviet Union", and now it also belongs to Russia, a legacy of honor. The streamer turned dark, "the former Soviet Union" was no longer "the former Soviet Union", but became Russia; "the former Soviet Union" films were no longer "the former Soviet Union" films, but became Russian films.
It has become a historical term, but it has not disappeared.
It is inherited the consistent style on heavy subjects: fine art, atmosphere, poetry, literature, and complex and heavy human nature. Our generation, born in the 1990s, has directly experienced a lot of things that don't seem to work, but can become popular in the future. Whether those things are new, philosophically, is still open to debate, but our generation is really used to change. So we are torn between being flexible and accepting the truth, between sticking to the rules and finding a new way.
The development and improvement of genre films have indirectly established film hegemony in many aspects: dramatization, filming, editing... If you don't do this, you are indifferent.
Type films, that is, routine films, there are traces to follow in each of the means and styles of play. Hong Kong people have to follow even in content creation. Movies and TV dramas are full of similar plots, and their victory lies in that all plots are almost effective.
It is said that Huang Baiming is the king of bridges. In fact, he is also a member of the "Seven Eccentrics of Xinyi City". Later, Zeng Zhiwei, Tsui Hark, and Shi Nansheng went out to form their own companies one after another. "They've all grown up, and they should have been named marquis everywhere." (Mai Jiayu)
This time art has evolved to this point, and it has basically been "globalized". The set of genre films has been perfected to automatically divide and attract audiences from all over the world. If you don't follow it, you will be eliminated. Is the decline of Hong Kong cinema just because it is shoddy? Why do audiences switch to watching "Western films"? This is to blame on the gains and losses of genre films. Local genre films are constantly self-replicating, but they are in a desperate situation without perfecting the rules of the genre; "Western films" are far superior to Hong Kong films in terms of investment scale and production level, and the genre is constantly improving. It is so that Hollywood has absorbed a large number of famous directors from all over the world, set a benchmark for genre films, prescribed narrative rules, and became a convention.
At the very least, Hollywood has the right to speak in mainstream commercial films such as disaster films, fantasy films, action films, and suspense films. At the beginning of the millennium, when "blockbuster" became a buzzword, some people thought it was cultural hegemony, part of aggression, and "peaceful evolution". In fact, that's just part of "globalization," which is economical and culturally acceptable.
After the collapse of the bipolar pattern, American movies also agreed that the enemy of the state is Russia. Russia is strong, but Russian films are weak, and it seems that it doesn't care about its image in the eyes of other countries. However, it is an indisputable fact that Russian films learn from Hollywood. After all, things in the world that can pass are naturally good. The more it can pass through the world, the more it can prove that it belongs to the world. At this point, nationality has to give in. Movies cannot be private or confined to regions. In the language of movies, we all know no borders.
Russian films, in this part of contemporary themes, are a little too far from west to east. It lost the soul! Superhero movie "Guardian: Century War", learn from Marvel, learn from DC, fail; food, love movie "Paris Kitchen", copy Hollywood, copy "Delicious Love", fail; disaster movie "Deadly Metro", copy Hollywood, you can't draw a tiger.
In other words, some things are invented by others, and the best destination may be others. Adoption, adoption, is not a good outcome.
In other words, it is unrealistic to want to learn Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do and then use Jeet Kune Do to defeat Bruce Lee.
The same goes for the movie. After all, foreign audiences are more familiar with New York than Moscow.
