Chapter 1194 Kung Fu Comedy

Jiangxia is now in Bollywood.

Standing next to him is Kapil, an actor who is a national treasure of India.

Kapil is the first on the celebrity list in India, similar to Jiangxia in China, the difference is that Jiangxia has a huge reputation in the world and is a world-class superstar, while Kapil is only famous in India, and even in several adjacent countries, not many people can recognize him.

The two talked a lot, mainly about movies.

"Jiang, I admire you very much, you alone led the recovery of the entire Chinese film, and now Chinese film is a big force in the world, which is all your credit. Kapil said.

"I wanted to be humble, but when I thought about it, it was indeed my credit. Jiang Xia said with a smile.

Kapil said: "It was originally your credit. ”

Jiang Xia said: "In fact, you can also take Bollywood movies to the world, a few years ago, at the Oscars, Bollywood movies also hit the awards, and the results are not bad." ”

Kapil shook his head and said: "It's different, our films are rooted in our environment, more based on Indian culture, and without the soil of our culture, our films will not be so vibrant." ”

Jiang Xia nodded and said: "Actually, your movies are also doing very well, I have seen some of your movies, the quality is very good, but the dissemination is not wide, if you really go out and release it, you can also compete with Hollywood movies." ”

Kapil said: "It can't be done. The great thing about Hollywood movies is that they can survive without their native culture, which is determined by the overall style of the country where Hollywood is located, they are a country of immigrants, a country of cultural integration, and the shadow of any culture can be found in Hollywood movies. Our films can't do that, and even if a few movies occasionally go abroad, they are all promoting universal values, which are out of touch with our local films themselves. ”

Jiang Xia nodded and said: "That's right, this is also a point that I am very puzzled about, why don't Bollywood movies try to change?"

"We tried, but failed. "We don't need a master of Chinese and Western cinema like you, who can make a name for himself in the Western world and take root in his native country." More importantly, the environment in India is different from that in China. ”

Jiang Xia said: "Indeed, China has been bombarded by Hollywood blockbusters for a long time, so it is no stranger to the international vision and rhythm. Bollywood's movies are too vigorous, and you don't accept foreign culture and movies, so foreign movies can't occupy you, and you can't kill them. ”

Kapil agreed: "That's right, this is the shackles of Bollywood films, we have some actors who can go out, but they can't stand firm, and it's too difficult without the support of local films." ”

Jiang Xia said: "Local culture is the support point of local films, and it is also the focus point. Chinese films now rarely promote local culture, and are more like Hollywood. The film I came here to shoot was also an attempt by me to start going back to the roots, digging into our local culture, and then finding a balance with business. ”

Kapil said: "Your idea is very good, I have also watched China's current movies, a little impetuous, it seems to have forgotten that you are a country with a history of 5,000 years, this should not be, you can think of this, it is indeed Jiang." ”

Jiang Xia laughed and said: "It's just a little idea, the older I get, the more I think about it." I'm not sure if it's right or wrong, so I can only try, maybe I can't say if I'll be famous for a lifetime. ”

"No, you're the best director in the world today. Kapil said.

The two talked a lot in the Bollywood showroom, and Kapil introduced Jiang Xia to the origins and history of Indian cinema.

Jiang Xia's basic impression of Indian movies is still on "Three Fools in Bollywood", Aamir Khan's movie is one of the few movies that Jiang Xia has watched several times. In the Indian movies of this life, Jiangxia really hasn't come across a movie that can catch up with "Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood" that can be watched many times.

The limitations and advantages of Indian films are obvious, and the strong local vitality is something that Chinese films should learn, but it must not only have local vitality, but also have tension that can spread.

"Three Fools in Bollywood" is such a movie, but unfortunately Jiang Xia is really old now, and his own movies have also conquered India, and his popularity in India is also quite high, which is the super influence of a world-class superstar.

In other words, 20 years ago, Jiang Xia came to India to make a movie, and he would definitely want to take the time to make "Three Fools Make a Mess in Bollywood" and make a pure Indian movie on Indian soil for them to see.

The current Jiangxia is very peaceful, and he won't do this kind of thing of standing on other people's heads and and asking people to borrow paper.

However, he also thought that he might be able to hand over the script to Zhang Luofu and ask him to change it to shoot it.

"Three Fools Havoc in Bollywood" is a very good movie, which can be hung up under the banner of classics, let Zhang Luofu shoot it, and also add some good works to Zhang Luofu.

Planning this in his heart, Jiang Xia came to the crew.

In India, he will shoot the quintessential scenes of Jackie Chan's movies from "The Myth," which are scenes of kung fu comedy.

Jackie Chan has become a top superstar in the world because of his unique kung fu comedy, which is the most quintessential thing in all his films.

Whenever Jackie Chan abandons this essence part, the movies he makes will lose some flavor, although he still dares to fight, but there is less shadow in his memory.

Jackie Chan was able to take over Bruce Lee's class and become a kung fu spokesperson, relying on his unique kung fu comedy.

Bruce Lee hit someone, but after being punched, he hit him back.

Jackie Chan hit someone, after being punched, he screamed in pain, and then hit back.

Comedy has a wide range of acceptance, so Jackie Chan can succeed.

Jiang Xia has never made a Jackie Chan movie before, and among the three box office giants of Hong Kong films in the 90s, "Double Monday Success", only Jackie Chan's movie Jiang Xia has not been filmed, and now it is made up.

There are three main female characters in "Mythology", one is a Goryeo princess, one is Mr. Goo's assistant, and one is an Indian girl.

Playing the Indian girl Sammansha in Jiangxia's version of "Mythology" is Kapil's daughter Siwani, a very beautiful Indian girl, only nineteen years old, and the runner-up of this year's Miss World.

When filming really started, this beautiful girl with a good figure chased Jiang Xia around, she was a fan of Jiang Xia, and she especially liked Jiang Xia's movies, which gave Jiang Xia a headache.

But there are also benefits, that is, in the scene of the sticky mouse board, there is a scene that requires the actress to be naked, and Jiang Xia is afraid that the actress will not agree, but now it's okay, he just mentioned it, and Sivani nodded like a chicken pecking rice, which made Jiang Xia feel a little sorry for Kapil.
