Chapter 157 Chaos (Part 2)
Before "Wrestle, Dad", or before "Three Idiots Make a Bollywood", what is our impression of Indian movies?
He dances and sings at any time, and action movies are all kinds of tricks!
"The Lion", Newton wanted to hit someone after watching it, and the dynamic picture of Ten Fist Fist is from this film;
"Super Century God of War", nostrils are connected to bullets;
"Love of Bollywood Robots", the hero has an arsenal of armed weapons and is unable to complain;
"The Legend of Warriors Bervara", car crashes into helicopter;
"Everyone's Happy", I specially flipped the car 360 degrees and gave it to the ring...
After watching these movies, I just want to say one thing, are you shooting these for fun?
But in recent years, after Bollywood opened up the natural shackles of censorship, countless works have emerged!
Before "Wrestle, Dad", Aamir Khan starred in "My God" and publicly questioned religion.
There is a line inside: "I have read the Bhagavad Gita, the Quran, and the Bible."
Then after the Chinese translation was translated, the Quran was replaced with ellipses. It was really interesting. This was a translation introduced by the genuine version of the domestic company, not a folk subtitle group.
Aamir Khan's "My God" directly mocked the three major religions of Hinduism, Buddhism and ***. While he mocked these, his country was a country with a strong religious atmosphere.
If we can make a movie that ridicules the Ramen Gang, we don’t need to review it. I guess the person who wrote the script would have to go to Yixi to have tea.
The big hat to undermine national unity is directly on your head!
Of course, even if you really shoot it, few people will watch it. Who has the time to care about ethnic and religious conflicts?
Take a look at the Indian masterpieces in recent years "Wrestle, Dad", "Little Luoli's Monkey God Uncle", "Starting Line", "My God", "Toilet Hero", "Indian English", "Indian Daughter", "Toilet Love", all of which are works that reflect reality!
The subject matter is very similar, the narrative technique is very similar...
"Wrestle, Dad", of course, is a very good sports inspirational film. In fact, a few years ago, there was a similar theme in China, "Olympics of One Person", which tells the story of Liu Changchun.
Who is Liu Changchun? The first person in China's Olympics and the first Chinese athlete to officially participate in the Olympics.
The movie was not very good, but the story was still very complete, especially the inspirational aspects were done well!
The ending ended at the 200-meter starting line, and the final shot was Liu Changchun's firm eyes and ready-to-run figure...
The reality is cold. No matter how passionate we are in our determination, for China at that time, it was already a victory that had been hard to stand in front of that starting line.
Based on the original appearance of facts, we live up to our touch.
In fact, Liu Changchun later gave up the 400-meter race...
Thinking of Iraqi players wearing old clothes competitions at the Beijing Olympics, this story continues in modern times...
Logically speaking, Douban scores are not low for such a story: 7.0 points, so should there be tens of millions of box office?
Unfortunately, the final box office of this movie was 1.46 million...
Many people sigh, why do India have so many excellent works?
There are a bunch of people on the Internet who advocated "Ten high-scoring Indian movies, which make Chinese blockbusters feel ashamed of themselves," "These nine high-scoring Indian movies can almost beat the whole of Asia"...
Get out of here, you're so mad. Have you watched a few movies, but you dare to say that?
In fact, if we really want to talk about the progress of the movie, Indian movies are still in the stage of "torn open their scars for foreigners to see". Similar to the 1980s and 1990s, the subject matter seems to be large, but in fact it is only large for foreigners!
Chinese films have obviously passed the stage of "torn open their own scars for foreigners to see", but they are still in the early stage of slow development of the film industry. Even though they are still very primary, this is very important. A truly powerful film culture is cultural confidence, rather than relying on "ugly" and "evil" themes to attract the attention of the world. Obviously, domestic filmmakers have realized this, and many people have actively participated in it!
The simplest example is that the singer with the same theme counterattacks. How could the 2018 "Mysterious Superstar" be stronger than the 2005 "If Love"?
Unfortunately, in Douban's opinion, it can!
"Mysterious Superstar" scored 7.7 on Douban, and "If Love" scored 7.6 on...
Some people always like to praise foreign countries. In recent years, various films that have forced criticized society in India have a serious overall impression of homogeneity. Then Douban comments basically say, "India dares to shoot such subjects, our country will never dare to shoot"!
This kind of judging criterion that subject matter is first is really incomprehensible. It seems that it cannot be a good movie if it is not literary or anti-social enough!
After the release of "Wrestling, Dad", the box office has been counterattacked with its high reputation, but the hot topics of discussion are not on wrestling or the movie itself. On the contrary, the topics have always revolved around "India is far behind" and "Indian women have no human rights", just like "Qiu Ju's lawsuit" back then. What we agree with is not the movie itself.
Although it is a good work, it would be a pathetic if a country's film system is all similar to this kind of movie.
...
"Next month on the 13th, the Magnolia Award, you must attend. "Wulin Waijie" nominated for Best Screenwriter, Best TV Series and Best Actress, by the way, and the Organizing Committee Special Award..."
After the filming of the day, Pingping flew from the capital and announced Xiaobai's next schedule.
"Apart from Magnolia in June, the Shanghai Film Festival opens, you are the guest..."
"Wait, why am I a guest?"
"…There is no need to be promoted in "The God of Medicine"? You haven't appeared for half a year!"
“…”
The biggest function of the Shanghai Film Festival is to promote works!
The Shanghai Film Festival is already the most bizarre film festival in the world in name. It is not so much an international film festival as a Chinese-language film hypermarket.
The most important main competition unit is completely unwelcome to the media and audience. Even with the complete works of Hitchcock and the classic screenings of many French New Wave masters, it cannot be included in the entertainment section of the host country.
But the media will still report it, after all, it is a mainstream event in the film industry!
This has always been the case. No one pays attention to the content of the competition film. The interviews of the main creators revealed, there are only a few reviews, and there are no surprise views.
By the way, last year, it was probably for the blog post that I awarded three best actors at once...
It can be seen that the Shanghai Film Festival is working hard to organize it and want to become a regional film festival!
In recent years, with the growth of the mainland market, the Shanghai Film Festival has indeed participated in the dividends.
More big directors invited this year are Feng Xiaogang, Guan Kui, Chen Kexin, Woody Allen...
There will definitely be a lot of media follow-up reports at that time, which will definitely be beneficial to the promotion of the movie!
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Judging from the current progress, the movie is about fifteen days away, and the time is plenty!
"besides…"
"besides?"
"...You haven't appeared for half a year. After the filming of this movie, you need to accept a few exclusive interviews!"
"Why do I show up as soon as I am a director? I'm not Feng Xiaogang. Whoever I catch is criticized, I will be honest in filming this year and don't take on so many messy activities for me!"
Xiaobai was very dissatisfied and refused directly!
"You are invited guests of Chinese Film Media Ceremony, Asian Film Awards, College Student Film Festival!"
Chapter completed!
