The film itself is Indiana Jones-style. No matter in terms of structure or subject matter, this direct imitation has the lowest cost and the best benefit. But other than that, the meaning of the movie "Searching for the Dragon" is beyond the broadcast, which makes people think.

1. A major breakthrough in the film censorship system For a

long time, the electric censorship system has directly restricted the creation of films in China. Personnel of various disciplines from major ministries and commissions have to criticize and interfere arbitrarily with regard to their own subject matter. The layman to guide the expert directly hindered the prosperity of the film market. However, the electric censorship system has always existed in the film shooting history of various countries, whether Hollywood or European countries, the electric censorship system has existed for a long time. As for the gradual liberalization of the electric review system, we can only wait for a movie to make a breakthrough, taking small steps.

In "Looking for the Dragon", the shackle of "no tomb robbery" becomes the direct shackle of creation. The answer given by the main creator is that bad people rob tombs and good people are forced, but this still ignores the simple fact that Huang Bo is also robbing tombs for anglababy. In the promotion of the film, this clever design actually avoided the risk, but still did not deny the fact of tomb robbery.

The second is that there are no ghosts. If Shu Qi said at the end of the film that everything is an illusion is at least a perfunctory answer, how to explain the strange way of death of the Red Guards who went deep into the tomb at the beginning of the film, and how to explain the corpse transformation of the big zongzi? What is the reason for the repeated death? How to explain the lost way in the tomb? In an almost ambiguous way, the film flashes past these dilemmas, in fact piercing the window paper of the electric trial.

To put it bluntly, the electric review system has been slowly ebbing, leaving more and more creative space for filmmakers. There is nothing that can’t be done, only unexpected, the restrictive color of the electric review system will gradually fade away, and this requires the efforts of filmmakers one film at a time.

2. The huge imaginary space for the second creation of the movie

"Looking for the Dragon" has always been created around Xiaowei Mojin. However, in the original work of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Xiaowei Mojin was a general in Hefaqiu Zhonglang, a Taoist who moved mountains, The four major sects of tomb robbers are juxtaposed by Xieling Lishi. It is conceivable that there is a huge space for secondary creation in "Searching for the Dragon", and it can completely achieve a series.

The success of the film "Looking for the Dragon" and Lu Chuan's film attempt of "The Nine-Story Demon Pagoda" undoubtedly added a new genre to mainland movies - tomb robbery movies, which contributed to the creation of few domestic genre movies.

The scenes such as the ancient tomb scene and the remains of the Japanese army that appeared in "Looking for the Dragon" have the potential to be directly transformed into a playground. Thinking of the theme park projects launched by Huayi in Suzhou and other places, the "Long-hunting" series of theme parks have landed in theme parks, and the possibility of building scene entertainment projects is greatly increased.

3. The value of the Chinese film market

In 2015, the total box office of Chinese films was 44.069 billion yuan, still increasing at a rate of 48.7%. Over the same period, U.S. and Canadian box office receipts totaled $11.1 billion, up 7 percent from 2014. At the current growth rate, China may become the world's largest film market in 2017. In 2015, Chinese movie box office revenue accounted for more than 61% of the total box office, up from 54% in 2014. In 2015, China added about 9,000 new screens, and the total number of screens increased by about 40% to about 32,000. But that figure is still 7,000 yuan less than that of the United States, which has only a quarter of China's population.

This data has two meanings.

1. China is about to become the largest box office market in the world, and most of the film box offices are occupied by Chinese films, and the trend is becoming more and more obvious
. 2. The world's largest film group companies do not have Chinese companies

. World-class film conglomerates will emerge in China to compete directly with Hollywood films internationally. Relying only on the domestic market, Chinese film companies will become super predators in the world market. As for who has hope, I believe I don't need to say more. This is why Wang Jianlin began to open his mouth to Hollywood, and a large number of Internet companies began to enter the creation of film and television works.

Fourth, the lack of talent in the film industry

It is obvious to all that the overall quality of employees in the film industry is not high. For a long time, traditional mainland students have been excellent children admitted to 211 prestigious schools, while those who are beautiful and do not like to study enter the performing arts career. This is different from the situation in Hollywood. For example, Emma, ​​the movie star of Harry Potter, was admitted to Brown University, and Matt Damon and Natalie Portman were all admitted to Harvard University. Most domestic movie stars only have looks and no wisdom. At present, the low quality of movie stars cannot even be compared horizontally with the quality of movie stars in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

However, the quality of many positions in the domestic film production link is very low. With the rapid development of the film industry, it will inevitably attract a large number of talents to enter this industry with obvious rising income. We also look forward to the emergence of performers with higher education and higher quality in China in the future.

The film itself is fast-paced, and it perfectly creates an imaginary world for people. On a weekend afternoon, let people completely forget the troubles of reality and experience an incredible story. The film brings personal pleasure, the aftertaste outside the film, and bold imagination, looking forward to a booming and wonderful domestic film market.
