Since the 80s from the 20th century, western has maintained the vitality of hanging by a thread, take the genre in exploring the Chinese way.
Return to the mainstream commercial film directed by Zhang Yimou
1987 film Western film is known for masculinity, the male tragic beauty to the extreme, and highly symbolic; more significant is that, since the the end of film, and westerns, and how to deal with other Chinese films since the late 80s, more and more intense momentum of the impact of the tide of commodity economy, how it is necessary to remain a western aesthetic taste, but also face the relatively calm market and the audience, made a useful and more successful exploration and experiment. In the film of Zhang Yimou and continue to the fifth generation of some of the western movie elite common features and interesting film, while commercial context for the appreciation of popular culture under the fun and made a positive response to tilt in the film he started mm try to return to the traditional narrative, trying to tell a dramatic climax and have a relatively complete story of the plot; the basic content of the story is also very easy way out, not only includes the fifth generation and the western film a consistent theme of the cultural philosophy of reflection, another to change the theme of the Fifth Generation obscure and esoteric, but as a Live Flesh, frolicking in the bedroom of the secular story to convey his inner feelings of some culture, philosophy The expression of the theme.
1990 year and what level the director introduced the mm highbrow ideas, but the narrative on a prominent position; but it clearly has not departed from the fifth generation of film-making overall characteristics of the completion of the mass plot, dramatic story telling at the same time, it is with attaches great importance to the lens shape and ideographic function of exploration and innovation, becoming tense in the plot, the climax at the same time, this popular, according to the story of the Northwest folk Swordsman film adaptation of the popular mass deep and clear wrapped for the elite culture Double Flag Town, symbol and metaphor for the profound traditional culture of reflection, criticism and a little warmth.
this point, can be said that western Chinese characteristics, and cultural elite from the start, saying arts films or films exploring the art of reaching the corresponding height, finally after 90 years under the commercial context, with the real type of features, and has since taken the type of creative exploration of the way. China is truly the type of business relative to the film forming characteristics, while both the basic western movies of the advent of aesthetic taste, probably can be regarded as the new century, Zhang Yimou's martial arts epic film Pictures side by side written for the mainstream movie standards, and take advantage of the unique subject matter of ancient cultural resources, unique in western China's rough, poignant, tragic natural landscape, and Chinese, International Celebrities have gathered in the standard sense Chinese production of the western genre could successfully provide the basic conditions and elements. The only regrettable that the great production, super-star cast and gorgeous under the form of a sense of the content, the plot is relatively poor and weak and empty and spiritual values The sick and missing.
but the first real attempt, after all, a new starting point, and the film in the overseas film market, the high box office, is enough to prove that a genuine attempt to Zhang Yimou commercial genre's unique talent, big productions and appeal. can be said to costume martial arts film of the film elements, but also to traditional Chinese culture, the spiritual content of their films provide a unique Chinese characteristics, Chinese film industry, type the beginning of production continue to go on the road do the same, continuous improvement in exploration and deepening, should be out of the national characteristics of a film industry of the road, but also to the Chinese film since its birth, the greatest contribution to world cinema, the development time of the oldest and most distinguished artistic genres mm martial arts continue to flourish costume go . In Zhang Yimou's western China is particularly interesting part of the aesthetic.
can be said of the 20th century, 90 years after the new mainland western one of the specific performance of the evolution of film-making tradition to the mainstream commercial film narrative, and even the adjustment of specific genres and regression, the representative of the specific work is He Ping, Zhang Yimou's western movies with the original main aesthetic taste, but also has commercial elements of the classic martial arts movie, and continued in this fusion of the established pattern and type of combination and the creation of a new, more in-depth to reflect the traditional Chinese culture some of the spiritual content and fun, this type of time being named the new Western martial arts commercial films mm.
new Western movies and Western Humanities
theme movies in 90 years after the characters in the western region and the performance of material and content the movie, there are two other solid human life in contemporary western state of mind to express, to show the object movie, which is named according to its characteristics the author of Film The value is also displayed and presented to its problems. on behalf of the work, earlier are: Zhang Yimou's 1991 launch of the fine capture shows the transformation of the era for a new relationship between urban and rural areas, sincere concern and explore.
a commercial film industry in the country's swept under the tide, turning all the mature commercial director, and the young director international influence not yet been established, so most of China's film walk in between the commercial and the main theme of the film, Chinese movies have become very embarrassing, very confused. and Wang Chuan's valuable point is the he did not He showed the independence of an independent film, and this independence comes from the transformation of this great era of the unique experience and the human spirit and the traditional Chinese the same strain. Wang Chuan-an early film western and 80 film and the spirit of the Fifth Generation films are linked to point, with an artistic exploration and cultural characteristics of the elite, but he did more modest, more simple, more human Firestone's Live Flesh, but also convey the hearts of the entire Chinese community in the experience of transition and confusion during the wake.
People in the Western history of struggle. and the film, the characteristics of the film is the inner soul of human, human, human dig deep, one with a distinct characteristic of political ideology, embodied the theme of ideology, which often simplify the complexity of the inner spirit of people, Key highlights of people struggling in poverty, environment and fighting spirit. (of course, the difference between the two films is not absolute, with the New Chinese film after the performance of the overall human progress and in-depth, even the main theme of the film in this regard also continue to progress and deepen, although model, simplified the tendency still exists.) their specific, representative works are: week Friends of the North in 1996 directed the western desert control model based on real life experiences Niu Yuqin created the film tree similar to the subject matter has certainly improved.
the western city of western movies movie themes of concern to the western rural areas has always been based, and often even the world of contemporary Chinese film extraordinary shock of the film industry, 20 80s Early western movie, most real life of China's current status.
so between rural and prosperous in the west between the modern metropolis, a city fringe in the transition zone, the transition zone of the characteristics of the most western city, its appearance is the city , bones, or villages. and this city is the former director Huang Jianxin West Film Studio one of the main performance, he is different from the fifth generation of the other directors, he did not go in the , concerned about the Chinese history and the past on the road; Instead he is concerned and the present reality of city life, have launched a series of urban films.
and spoke in front of the first and second films in 90 years after the western New Evolution In comparison, Huang Jianxin this city during the transition period to object to the performance of the film in terms of choice of subject matter, or in the form of adoption, and personal reflection on thinking you are in a mixed state. His film is basically Some cities have the basic elements of commercial films, but not completely commercialized, often there is always the kernel of the author of the new and old, traditional and the modern period and stand in the transformation of real-life experience and unique perspective of thinking, but he's such a with the experience the nature of the confusion and confusion than the intentionally or unintentionally, shelter, thereby weakening his film to bring people's impact, people are more willing to slice of city life, entertaining to watch the angle of peace and light thinking. his film's overall style is calm, optimistic , even during the transition unite in a mixture of ambiguous and untold frustration; but that optimism and high-spirited tone and theme of the film so unlike some straight Lu, hypocritical.
new strategy
Western Films How to view a more cultural perspective Broad dig deep meaning in western China's new film, how from the industrial, institutional innovation, in terms of legal protection for greater innovation in Western movies that we think, under the context of globalization a new topic.
new face of the new century, the western movie film development context, should continue to maintain and develop the film has been available in Western profound humanistic content and unique national, regional characteristics, while also strengthening and focus on commercialization operations and packaging, production of films can be essentially toward the two directions: one is to take the road of art film, more and more western extension of the original cultural tradition and meaning of the film, reveals the true state of the western people's living and life awareness by originality, regional, national win, type of the production of road, mining and use of the full history of the ancient western cultural resources, by legend, entertainment, commercial big production to win, route can also have some blending between the communication.
that route, but no matter, the characteristics of western culture and the people around the profound grasp of the core should be made; and mature market awareness and the market tends to positive operation of the space will be outside the sound development of the western movie basic security, and excellent production standards and the specific operational skills will be invincible is to ensure that Western movies and real integration into the diverse world of the film pattern feasible way. < br>
