Jia Zhangke talks about Hollywood blockbusters in China, which are gradually becoming less popular, because China's cultural market is not diverse and international enough. There is no culture in the Chinese market.
Jia Zhangke This is a classic that teaches people how to watch movies and how to spend their own money. This is an indisputable fact that the literary and artistic circle and director circle are colonized on a large scale, and the kneeling clan is indisputable.
Hollywood, once the overlord of the film industry, is now in the Chinese market, how did it fall to the same as Snow Black, the Black Mermaid, and Captain Rainbow, which have become after-dinner jokes?
The foreign comprador was anxious, lest his master lose the hearts of the people
First of all, let's talk about the psychology of this "foreign comprador", for fear that the treasure of his master will not be treated well in China, and he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. But the problem is that today's audiences, especially modern people who have been educated in mathematics, physics and chemistry, have a broad horizon and are no longer loyal believers in the "Western-centrism" of the past. The world is changing, but Hollywood still wants to stand still, which is embarrassing.
Moreover, the Western set of ideological shackles is tightly tied in the literary and artistic circles, and if you cross the thunder pool by half a step, you will wait to be blocked. But they still like to pick some "rebels" to sing the opposite, this trick, Gao Ming is clever, but the audience's eyes are bright, after a long time, who will buy it?
Innovation is sluggish, the taste is like chewing wax, and the special effects pile up the soul and lose
The quality of Hollywood movies has declined so much that it is called an obvious one, like a "box office shipwreck" that three aircraft carriers can't drag. used to be an aircraft carrier-level blockbuster, but now it looks like a rubber boat floating on the sea, the audience doesn't buy it, and kneeling and licking it won't help. In the final analysis, it is not that the Chinese audience is picky, but that Hollywood itself has gone astray, lacks innovation, and blindly panders to it, which naturally loses its attractiveness.
Recalling the 90s, "Terminator 2" and "Jurassic Park" at that time were shocking, and the audience exclaimed, and the movie tickets were worth the ticket price. But what about now? Hollywood blockbusters have become an empty shell of special effects, the depth is gone, there is less thinking, but there are more politically correct "seasonings", can this movie still be good?
Look at "The Wandering Earth 2" and "Wolf Warrior", Hollywood's sci-fi and war films, in comparison, are simply insignificant. The tastes of Chinese audiences have been upgraded, and if Hollywood does not wake up and is still obsessed with the glory of the past, then in the future cinema, the place left for Hollywood may only be the dust in the corner.
Therefore, Hollywood, American movies are dwarfed, and Chinese tastes are getting higher and higher. If you don't wake up to the old dreams, the future of the theater corner dust. Hollywood, Hollywood, first look for the cause of the disease!
