Confidence and dignity of Chinese films: a "small renaissance" of literature and art at the end of the summer file

    1905 movie network exclusive feature At the end of August and the beginning of September, just as the vigorous summer file created a record of 12.4 billion yuan in gold, three films with literary attributes released at the same time stepped on the tail of the summer file also entered the first round of fermentation of market inspection.

 

    After the "Troika" which was called "Big Mac" in July and the unexpected opening of the situation, many fans finally regained their confidence in Chinese movies. The appearance of "scorching sun" and "hidden mother" at the end of August, although doomed to be unable to compete with traditional commercial films at the box office, made people see the dignity of Chinese films. The topics that accompany several works are endless and worth pondering.

 

Competing on the same stage: is the performance of the three cities in the hot sun good or bad?

 

    As of September 1, the box office results of movies, movies and movies were 162 million, 46.95 million and 11.15 million respectively. This figure is really not outstanding in the Chinese film market where the box office is over 100 million in the first week. But comparing the box office results of several directors’ previous works, there is no doubt that this is an optimistic start.

    Especially for director Cao Baoping, this achievement has condensed too much emotion and bitterness. When Cao Dao’s debut was released in 2007, he had negotiated with the distributor to make 70 or 80 copies and invested 1.25 million yuan to promote the film. As a result, the other party "broke the promise", and finally only spent 20,000 to 30,000 yuan to make two copies. Cao Baoping was so anxious that he made two more copies, and finally used four copies to spread the national cinema. How can you imagine its box office results? Think again that there were only more than 13 million people who have missed the audience so far. Now, "Burning Heart in the Hot Sun" not only won the grand prize at the Shanghai Film Festival, but also created many topics.

 

    For Hou Hsiao-hsien, a willful author and director, Nie Yinniang the Assassin, as its first work to land in a mainland cinema, is even more rare. This film with an investment of 90 million RMB from the mainland can be regarded as Hou’s most expensive work, and to some extent, it can also be regarded as Hou’s work that considers the audience’s feelings. The award-winning aura of Cannes has made the mainland young people who owe Hou’s movie tickets have been hungry for a long time, not to mention that it is the legendary "last Chinese film movie", so the significance of this unique work landing in the mainland cinema today is by no means just a box office figure that can be estimated.

 

    Compared with the above two works, A Tale of Three Cities directed by Zhang Wanting seems to be not dazzling in word-of-mouth and box office. Although some events in recent days have slightly enhanced the topic of the film, the film still lacks the courage to be independent. Some fans even suspect that the husband and wife files are too far from the time when they were filmed, and the film has become+,and these two films are far from expectations in word of mouth and box office.

 

Tite for tat: ordinary young people don’t realize that literary youth "retaliate" to watch movies

 

    "The world is getting worse, starting with Wen Qing being teased." In view of the film Assassin Nie Yinniang, some "unconscious" ordinary fans joked that "the language level was damaged by 10 thousand physical points" and "the picture was too beautiful, but I was not allowed to take screenshots"; Even more poisonous tongue fans spit out that "showing off literature and art as food will lead to famine", "If the film is suitable for holding hands with people you like, you will be excited for a month" and "I can’t tell whether it is a movie or a PPT”… …

 

    Correspondingly, Hou Dao’s veteran fans have completed three brushes and four brushes in less than five days, and even gathered friends and relatives to hold a group, and their enthusiasm is no less than that of the "tap water" of the Great Sage. However, compared with the "bursting" behavior of the "tap water" who blew up the circle of friends, the literary youths who supported Hou Xiaoxian were obviously much more calm.

 

    This is reflected in the following aspects: most of the shared content is about the expanded interpretation and historical background of the film; Hou Hsiao-hsien’s works review, director style, etc., too emotional personal feelings are very rare; Even after some "ordinary audience" left the scene halfway and kept playing mobile phones, film critic Tao Taolin told us clearly that "I don’t want to recommend Nie Yinniang, because I don’t want people who don’t know Hou Xiaoxian to torture other audiences because they don’t like it."

 

    On the one hand, it is not difficult to see the great aesthetic difference of the audience, on the other hand, it also shows that the information coverage of the film is indeed considerable. As of September 1st, the author has personally watched this film in three different cinemas (Dongzhimen Broadway Film Center, Ciyun Temple Yaolai Jackie Chan International Studios, Xidan Capital Cinema). Although the audience really couldn’t stand the long shot and the half-written dialogue, the attendance rate of the film was much higher than expected. For the vast number of mainland audiences, whether they like it or not, at least let them see another possibility of movies.
