Who would say that Private Zhang Ga didn't bring any joy to your childhood?

It's all proof of China's film level.
But what about now? The commercial elements of China's films far outweigh the artistic features. Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and Xiaogang Feng, the so-called "Big Three" directors in China, blindly rely on their previous films to help them get ahead and spend a lot of money to make films with senior qualifications. That movie has lost the charm of film art, but it is full of strong commercial flavor.
In my opinion, although China's films have developed rapidly in recent years, I think the distance between China's films and foreign countries is getting bigger and bigger. I mean, from a literary point of view. A few years ago, 10 years ago, China's film production was far behind now, but its literariness was much better than now. Simple stories and natural operations were not blindly publicized before the film was released. A good movie is the first person to see it, and then spread it to another person's eyes, who thinks it has connotation. Then, a good movie spread like this.
Personally, I think the fundamental difference between China films and foreign films lies in the influence of different cultural and historical backgrounds. We can't simply use a single standard to measure products with two different cultural backgrounds. For example, you can't compare Farewell My Concubine with Singin' in the Rain. Although they are all classics, their starting point and orientation are different. The start of China's films can be said to be in step with the world. In the 1920s and 1930s, China's film level was in the forefront of the world. Of course, I also admit that there is a big gap between China films and western films in terms of production level and level. After all, continuous shooting has to import films, and its own economic foundation is not strong enough. Of course, we don't have the strength to be decorations in people's spiritual life, and we can't realistically compete with the mature foreign film industry.
At present, China's films are really in the transition period from literature and art to commercial operation. People who are used to watching Hollywood blockbusters will of course doubt whether the directors of literary films can guarantee the level of commercial films. There is no doubt that China's films have achieved great success in business. Look at "Golden Flower in the City", "Promise" and "Banquet", and they didn't earn much money. Therefore, commercial success has given many films and directors the opportunity to show themselves in Cannes, Venice Film Festival and even Oscar. But this is just a screening. Major films often go home empty-handed at film festivals, and the grand prizes are taken away by others, because our films only have extraordinary commercial income and lack literature and stories.
I admit that director China's thoughts are not narrow, but very intelligent and imaginative. I still think that many directors' works are much better than before. The Promise also lacks the aura of Chen Kaige in Farewell My Concubine, and The Banquet also lacks Feng-style humor. "Hero" and "House of Flying Daggers" are the pursuit of the exquisiteness of that picture! I may not like some of these movies, so I think this movie is a bad one.
Regardless of literature and art, objectively speaking, there are still many aspects of China's films that are progressive and worthy of our appreciation. Film is an art, an economic means and a propaganda tool. Our films should go abroad to promote China, change foreigners' impression and understanding of China, and more importantly, let foreigners pay for building a smoke-free industry for us in China, which requires cost and minimal packaging. We can't watch our own movies and fight naked with foreign movie mogul, can we? Clothes make the man, but goods need to be packed. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Hero and House of Flying Daggers have successfully entered the international market, injecting fresh elements into their spiritual life, showing them the charm of China culture and making us firmly believe that our culture is affecting the lives of foreigners.
These films have impacted our vision and given us a good reputation for these films for the time being. Note that this reputation is "temporary" and will not be said after 10, but the so-called great success after making a lot of money at present. I hope that China's films will return to simplicity and the embrace of nature. Instead of going further and further, we should pay more attention to art and combine artistic value with humanistic and social value. We should give China film time, have confidence in China films, and rushing for success will only be self-defeating.
Speaking of China movies, I'm disappointed in the actors. I'm not talking about all actors, but I'm not very keen on the phenomenon that too many people become famous overnight. We have too many actors, and their cultural background is too thin to explain their understanding of the role. Their performance is really no different from reading a script. It is the media hype that has created too many such media idols, but these people can't represent our culture, have no ability to show China's profound spirit, and they even lack the standard of personal expression ... And many movies start with inviting big-name stars as the source of hype, and use the appeal and attraction of big names to enhance the value of movies in all aspects. Stars became popular in movies, and movies became popular among a large number of new people. We look forward to talented actors in China's films, artists who can interpret China's 5,000-year-old cultural heritage with performances, and dancers who are eager to show China's impression to the world on the world stage ... and don't let those naive "baby soldiers" blind us; No longer let the gossip all over the sky fill our ears; No longer let the rich copper smell irritate our noses. What we can see with our eyes is an artistic performance that lights up our screen.
Nowadays, many people are particularly interested in and even admire foreign films. Foreign movies are all good, but China movies are all bad. However, we should be soberly aware that foreign films can be shown in China and have a good influence in the world. They are all winners of foreign films, such as Spider-Man and 007 series. They are blockbusters in movies, which are in line with people's reputation, so not all foreign films are great successes. We see few foreign movies, and these movies are the essence. You know, there are also foreign countries. I just hope that not too many people prefer foreign movies.
Let's talk about TV dramas! I like the momentum and humor of China's "Bright Sword", the delicate feelings of "What can I do to save you, my love", and Korean kimchi TV such as "Blue Life and Death Love". I made a lot of tears with little investment! So far, the only TV series I watch in each episode-Prison Break. I felt the gripping comfort of every episode of the first season. Although I think the plot of the second season is a bit slow, it is basically ok, so I won't say it. I look forward to Tuesday like an opium addict (exaggeration), guessing the plot direction of the play, but I only get a little right every time. Sometimes I curse. Why is there only one episode a week? Even stopped for a few weeks, leading to the arrival of the next week. In short, I think this series has one word: good! But what I can't figure out is why so many people like boring idol dramas now. Everyone just watches the scene where stars and idol groups get together. Let's think with our toes. There is also a series of mainland versions adapted from Jin Yong's martial arts novels, which lacks realism. Many exaggerated computer effects are everywhere, which makes people feel that it is not the development of technology, but the poor use of technology. The actors didn't show the heroism, momentum and fearlessness of the heroes in the novel at the critical moment, let alone incisively and vividly. Many actors have stiff expressions and seem to be completely absent from the performance.

Gradually, I began to miss the Liu Hulan organized by all of us in primary school. We are so excited and excited when we watch movies. . . . . . .
