Why do foreigners like China Kung Fu?
A few days ago, Xu Jianbo chatted with a friend who had just gone to study in the United States and asked him what his biggest feeling was. He replied that Americans don't know much about China. In the place where he studied, those "old Americans" still stayed on Bruce Lee, thinking that he was from China, just like Mr. Li, who kept screaming and arresting people. He tried to explain to them the great changes in China at present, but with little success. Friends complain, who says that Americans are civilized, and one by one is also an "axis". I want to tell him that we can't blame each other for the "axis", but our efforts are far from enough. In fact, our country is also aware of this. China's national image propaganda film is continuously broadcast on the big screen of Times Square in new york, and broadcast to the world through international media such as CNN, which is a positive attempt to show the world the current situation of China. However, I think that a great movie, sometimes the effect really may not catch up with a small movie. This reminds me of another thing. Recently, a friend proudly showed us the trophy he just won at a film festival. Last year, he wrote a small-budget movie, which had a good box office and reputation, and it was reasonable to win the prize. However, when chatting with us, he often avoided talking about the film itself, not modesty, but as we all know, his film copied an American comedy in the 1980s, but only changed the story to be more in line with China's national conditions. Although it won the market, as a work, it really has nothing unique. Bruce Lee, a national image propaganda film and a low-budget film, seem to have nothing to do with each other, but in fact they are talking about the same thing-cultural output. Everyone knows that foreigners like China Kung Fu, and we are all proud of it, but few people ask why. Actually, this has a lot to do with Mr. Bruce Lee. It is precisely because of his films' great success in the 1960s and 1970s, such as Big Brother Tangshan, Jingwumen and Raptors Crossing the River and Entering the Dragon, which swept the world, and created a China Kung Fu style in the overseas world. Many martial artists, including Bruce Lee himself, took this opportunity to promote it vigorously, making China Kung Fu have a good reputation all over the world. While thanking Mr. Bruce Lee, we can't help feeling ashamed: nearly half a century after him, so many China films have more influence in the world than Mr. Li alone? As we all know, after Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun Fat, Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi all successfully entered Hollywood, but they were far from reaching the height of influencing the world. Therefore, although China Kung Fu is deeply loved by people all over the world, its popularity in the world is far less than that of Japanese Judo and Korean Taekwondo. We are uncomfortable in our hearts, but it is a fact: Judo and Taekwondo have become mass fitness programs in many countries in the world, but Wushu still stays in people's impression of Kung Fu movies. This paper does not discuss the complicated reasons why Wushu cannot be popularized abroad, but just takes this as an example to illustrate the great influence of movies on people. Besides, the Chinese civilization is profound, and a hundred flowers blossom. So far, only Wushu is world-renowned, which in itself shows that we still have many shortcomings. However, in today's China film industry, where can we find the shadow that affects the world? Nowadays, the film market is gradually developing towards triple polarization, bringing together the best talents in this industry. Pyramids are well-known names, and only they can get investment comparable to Hollywood blockbusters. But Jiang Lang is exhausted, and now everything is going downhill, except some people are falling steadily, and some people are falling freely. In the middle is the traditional Hong Kong film mode, mid-range investment, and finding a few stars to match. Although the story sucks to the beginning, everyone knows the ending, but these stars can also make money. Pyramid Base is a low-budget film made by countless small directors and companies, almost all of which are carved in the same mold. Just like the comedy Crazy Stone, because only this kind of film can make money, and if you are lucky, you can get both fame and fortune like my friend. In order to keep their jobs, the majority of unknown screenwriters and directors can only copy foreign films, and the money is earned, but are they ashamed to sell them abroad? Just don't sue you for infringement. Not to mention the impact on the world, we are far behind South Korea, Japan and even India in Asia. If the domestic market continues to develop like this, the status of China movies in the world may not be much higher than that of China football. A good movie can let people all over the world know about China Kung Fu. Similarly, only by making equally good movies can the world truly understand China now. Holding the money for the opening ceremony of various large-scale sports games, it is better to support the film market, and perhaps the effect will be much better. (screenwriter)
