Thoughts on Domestic Movies

In my opinion, Chinese cinema is standing at a fork in the road. Going to the left is based on Chinese local culture and oriental wisdom, and caters to the tastes of the Chinese people. His representative works are "Mobile Phone" and "Crazy Stone". this type of movie. There is no big scene, and there is no need to invest tens of millions to go abroad to shoot landscapes, but to deeply grasp the cultural context of Chinese society, and express it through a black humorous way, every time I see it, I can sigh and even sigh. I find some shadows more or less in my own life, and I have endless aftertastes. The more I chew, the more flavorful it is. Going to the right is to imitate the path of Hollywood commercial films, to pursue large investment and large production, and to pursue star effects and sensational scenes. Representative works like "House of Flying Daggers", "The Promise" and so on. Let’s talk about Hollywood commercial films first. The international superstars and the grand special effects and scenes have indeed achieved a shocking effect, but this effect ended as we walked out of the theater. After a few days, I just remembered I saw the movie, but I can't remember what it was about. Even in the United States, the home of Hollywood films, not everyone agrees with the Hollywood film model, but some directors in China are rushing to it. , and as a result, nondescript bad films like "Promise" appeared. Relying on gimmicks and publicity, they completely fooled us, and we made a lot of money, but will we ordinary people be fooled by this next time? In essence, the entertainment duty of the movie is to let the audience relax and enjoy it completely within 90 minutes, while the social duty of the movie is to give the audience more thinking. It is ridiculous and pitiful to abandon the taste and culture of the audience of your own country, and take the success model of others without analyzing and understanding it at all. The common people are not fools, they will not jump twice in a pit. If you want to seek excitement and enjoyment, you can watch imported Hollywood movies. Since you can watch the original scene super movies, why watch those endless movies that learn from tigers and can’t become anti-dogs? In my opinion, this kind of film is not as much thought as a mobile phone or a stone. Fight for stars, fight for investment, fight for special effects, fight for scenes, carefully put together your own net worth, it is better to calm down and think about what kind of films we ordinary people need. With ten films like "Mobile Phone" and "Crazy Stone" every year, there is hope for Chinese films. "Crazy Stone" may not win those beautiful international awards, but it can be praised by the common people; even if "Wuji" can win the so-called international awards, it is probably only "The Blood Case Caused by a Steamed Bread".
