Jia Zhangke's call on the audience to embrace Western films has sparked heated discussions: how to balance market choice and artistic pursuit?
Recently, the remarks of the well-known director Jia Zhangke at the Shanghai Film Festival have aroused widespread attention and discussion among netizens.
He publicly criticized domestic audiences for not liking Hollywood movies, arguing that this attitude not only affects China's international cultural status, but may also lead to the neglect of the domestic film system in the international community. However, this view has been refuted and questioned by many netizens.
Jia Zhangke's remarks revealed concerns about the choice of domestic audiences. He believes that if domestic audiences do not actively watch foreign blockbusters, then domestic films will also be treated coldly in the international community, which will affect the status and award-winning opportunities of domestic films and directors in the world. This view seems reasonable, but when you think about it, there are many problems.
First of all, the success of film as a cultural product does not depend solely on the audience's choice. Factors such as the artistic value of the film, the creative ability of the director, and the acting skills of the actors are equally important. If domestic films can excel in these aspects, they will still be able to win respect and recognition internationally, even if the audience has a cold attitude towards Hollywood films.
Second, the audience's viewing choices are diverse and complex. Everyone's preferences and aesthetic standards for movies are different, so you can't simply equate "not liking" Hollywood movies with a boycott of American films.
Moreover, with the continuous development and maturity of the domestic film market, more and more excellent domestic films have emerged, attracting the attention and love of a large number of audiences. These films have achieved good results at the box office and word of mouth, and have also won more attention and recognition for Chinese films in the world.
Regarding Jia Zhangke's views, netizens have expressed doubts and refutations. Some netizens pointed out that domestic films and directors have won awards internationally, more by virtue of their own strength and talent, rather than the support of the Chinese market.
Some netizens bluntly said that China did not boycott American movies, and Chinese spend their own money to watch movies, and what movies to watch are completely out of their own preferences and wishes, which is determined by the market. If Chinese directors want to win international awards, they should strive to improve their creative ability and artistic level, rather than pinning their hopes on audiences to embrace Western films.
In fact, market choice and artistic pursuit are not mutually exclusive. The audience has the right to choose the type and style of the film they like, and the director and producer also have the responsibility to create excellent film works that meet the needs of the audience. When the two reach a balance, Chinese films can truly go to the international stage and win more respect and recognition.
Therefore, we should respect the choices and preferences of each audience, and at the same time encourage and support domestic films to continue to innovate and make breakthroughs in content and form. Only in this way can we win more respect and recognition in the global film market and inject more vitality and impetus into the development of Chinese films. #美国导演: There are three viruses in the United States##中国电影导演协会提名名单##上海国际电影节##头条创作挑战赛##爆料#
