YY's borders

The first "Ip Man" was a bit of a grievance that it was born out of time. At that time, there was basically only one room in the theater for this film, and the audience lined up to buy tickets, which forced the mainland box office to exceed 100 million. "Ip Man 2" is lavish, and it broke 100 million in the first week. In the film, Ye Wen fought hard against the British boxing champion, and the scene of the final glorious victory caused applause in many theaters, and Sammo Hung's sentence "I can endure for life, but I can't insult Chinese martial arts!" It seems to remind us again. The era when "Huo Yuanjia" was all the rage. As for this battle, two voices on the Internet have scrambled together. Some say that this is nationalistic YY, which can only show the fragility of the national mentality; some say that the nation is innocent and YY is justified.
The so-called YY / crooked, is the meaning of obscenity. This is not a bad word at all. The Fairy Jinghuan in "A Dream of Red Mansions" said to Jia Baoyu: "If you are born with an infatuation in your talent, my generation calls it 'meaning obscenity'. The word 'meaning obscenity', only The heart can be learned but not spoken, and the supernatural powers can not be expressed in words." That is a very high level. But this word of love between men and women is placed in the political and cultural environment of film and television, but it is not so beautiful.
The Chinese-style movie YY is concentrated in kung fu movies, and the typical routine is that the thin Chinese martial artist defeats the arrogant foreign giant. But YY is by no means "made in china". Movies around the world have their own YY ​​style. France, as a big film country, is naturally unwilling to be under the people: it was obviously humiliating in World War II, and the French traitors were no less than the Chinese traitors, but they made a lot of movies like "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth", portraying the Germans as fat pigs, idiots and squinting, And the French people are all loyal, brave, brave and lucky, and even painters and conductors can play the German Wehrmacht; commercial films like the "Taxi" series also have a YY complex that the French can't put down - French Peugeot is easy Outperformed the German Mercedes-Benz; the more classic national YY series is the "Gallic Heroes" series. This series of movies based on the famous French comics "Asterix and Auberix" made the French people's back then. The ancient ancestor of the Gauls, who was bullied by the Romans, not only repeatedly played Caesar as a clown, but also defeated the Viking pirates. He also used cartoons to instill in the French children "Heroes of the Gauls, shame of the Romans" The YY spirit.
Japan and South Korea are also countries that love YY very much. From the title of a movie like "All Sinking Outside Japan", you can see that the Japanese are spoofing and throwing their phobia of island sinking on the heads of the people of the world; special shots like "Dinosaur Express" that you saw when you were a child The film also does not lose to American superheroes at all, basically creating a big monster to scourge the world, and then the righteous Lai Fuling on behalf of the moon strangles the monster to death! Compared with South Korea, which has expanded its mind to accommodate the world in recent years, Japan is still a little witch. It is said that there is no Korean in the 10 languages ​​supported by Apple's iPad, which fundamentally eliminates the danger that they can count the iPad as their own invention. The Korean film "The Expedition of Mount Huangshan" is extremely satirical about the Tang Dynasty, portraying the generals of the Tang Dynasty like a clown; "Drunken Painting Fairy" even demolishes Chinese traditional paintings to be useless...
As the world's largest film exporter, Hollywood is naturally also YY's masters, but since YY is usually the weaker fantasizing to beat the strong, so they have to save the earth and defeat the aliens. Of course, acting as a parent like this is a bit annoying, but fortunately, there is no bitterness and hatred, and you can watch it as a fun-sometimes Laomei is also quite cute, such as repeatedly "vomiting the game" for the British and beating the world invincible The YY story of the hand may be from the feelings of the relatives in the old continent.
YY may not be a very normal demand, after all, the phrase "we used to be much richer than you" is hard to say, but the public likes it, it's simple and refreshing, and it doesn't need to be beaten to death. The key is whether it can be always new and change the pattern? Don't you always take the brainless Western Dongyang Erlang into the ring, and then tease the audience with an eyeful of national bitterness and tears? Take a look at "The People's Liberation Army Occupies Paris" that came out in France in the 1970s. Although it also smeared our people's army, those who can laugh at themselves are the real hipsters.
