813 Meaning of Kung Fu Movie (1/3)

"Transformers", "2012", "The Day After Tomorrow", "Super Battleship", "Harry Potter", "The Lord of the Rings", "Fast and Furious", "Iron Man", "Spider-Man", ......

These classic blockbusters that have collected box office frenzy all over the world in their previous lives have a profound and clear picture in Yang Ming's heart.

There is no doubt that these classics will be moved to the screen of this world by him one by one.

If nothing else, success is inevitable, and box office results will break every record one after another.

This form lasts for at least 10 years.

During this period, Yang Ming and Oriental DreamWorks will sweep the entire world film market, and he is not surprised at all, because he has another world classic resource to support.

To be honest, if it's just like this, Yang Ming just needs to copy the classics of the past life to the present life step by step, and wait for the arrival of success.

Achieved fame and fame all over the world.

A qiē will come naturally!

This kind of thought, after Yang Ming's successive successes in several films, the sense of accomplishment became weaker and weaker, and there was no surprise at all, even when filming "2012", he didn't feel much pressure.

Sometimes, he wonders how much motivation he still has year after year.

Even, he sometimes thinks that if he just copies the classics from the past life to the present life and sweeps the entire world film market, then he can now type three words "the end of the whole play"!

It can be over!

There's nothing to look forward to, there may be some twists and turns, but the victory is definitely his own.

After the success of "2012", Yang Ming sometimes thinks about where his life goal is, after many days of contemplation, or from the motivation for filming "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" to the upcoming release, the goal in his heart is becoming clearer and clearer.

Now, he can be completely sure.

Since he came to this world, he has always told himself that he will definitely lead Chinese films to the world and to glory, although this ideal is a bit too vain, or empty.

But since he entered the film industry, the success of several films has told everyone that if the filming of the movie is not meticulously crafted, there is no logical and rigorous script, and there is a mentality of picking up a handful and leaving, it will never make an excellent classic movie.

Yang Ming did this.

At the same time, he set himself a higher goal.

That is to make the world accustomed to movies from China.

Now, Yang Ming has found this entry point, that is, kung fu movies!

Let fans in other countries around the world get used to Chinese kung fu movies, take this as a starting point, and then shoot some movies with the imprint of Chinese culture.

Moreover, Chinese kung fu has never been a simple skill fighting skill, but with a strong philosophical thinking.

Chinese martial arts have a long history, a long history, broad and profound, and are the excellent cultural heritage and treasure of the Chinese nation.

There can be no doubt about that!

Chinese martial arts and traditional Chinese medicine are all using the philosophy of the pre-Qin period, and these Eastern mystic philosophies have had unexpected revelations on nature and life, and it cannot be said that they are not sufficiently sophisticated.

Even, from ancient times to the present, people who are involved in the profession of boxing have an average cultural accomplishment, su zhì and level that surpass ordinary people!

Yang Ming can be 100% sure that if he simply makes a movie with a strong Chinese cultural color and releases it abroad, it is estimated that the vast majority of foreign fans and audiences will be drowsy and don't know what to do.

He had seen too much of this kind of lesson in his previous life.

Even, even if Chinese kung fu appears in the movie, it seems to foreign audiences that it is considered a kind of witchcraft or magic, which does not conform to the idea of normal human beings.

And domestic movie fans and audiences, if they see those movies that fly on the wall and go high and high, they immediately know that this is a martial arts movie, all kinds of major schools, all kinds of internal skills, what no sword is better than a sword, what Jiuyang magic skills, it is simply exciting.

The two reactions of fans and audiences at home and abroad also tell us, the indoctrination of one person, and the filming according to our own ideas, expecting foreign audiences to accept and get used to it, which is absolutely unrealistic.

In previous lives, this was also proven.

When the Hong Kong film market is not down, the fight scenes in Hollywood action movies are always the kind of boxing that is repeated over and over again, without any beauty or visual impact.

It can be said that at this stage, the gap between Hong Kong films and Hollywood blockbusters is not very big in Hollywood movies, except for special effects.

However, due to the congenital defects of Hong Kong films, the film market is too narrow and the influence of Southeast Asia is too obvious, and it is simply not capable of making large-scale films.

During that time, there were too many people in the Hong Kong film industry who were looking for death, and they made many movies that smeared the north, so that the mainland has always held a cautious and strict attitude towards Hong Kong films.

Without the support of the huge film market in the mainland, the decline of Hong Kong films would have been doomed.

After the glory of Hong Kong films ceased to be gone, many talents of Hong Kong films were diverted, some of them went north to the mainland to develop, and some of them were absorbed by Hollywood, thus opening up the glory of Hollywood action movies and making up for the last shortcoming of Hollywood blockbusters.

The most impressive is the second part of "Mission Impossible" directed by John Woo in Hollywood, and the violent aesthetics in it made all Hollywood studios stunned.

And several famous martial arts classes in Hong Kong, after integrating into Hollywood, have made Hollywood action movies have undergone earth-shaking changes.

Sharp fights, shocking visual impact, although some of the skills in Chinese kung fu that are regarded by many people as flamboyant are not valued by everyone, but when used in movie shooting, it makes the action picture a better scene.

Hollywood quickly absorbed the essence of Hong Kong kung fu movies and embarked on a path of kung fu design that suited their Western ideas.

And those martial arts kung fu with Chinese cultural colors were thrown aside by Hollywood and never taken into account.

Whenever Yang Ming thinks of this, he always feels a pity in his heart, in fact, he also knows very well that if there is no strong Huaxia, there will be no cultural centripetal force, and there will be no convincing force in the world.

However, in this life, Yang Ming wanted to give it a try.

"Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" is in the Greater Chinese Cultural Region of East Asia, he has no worries and will inevitably succeed.

But in the United States, he is full of worries.

Therefore, Yang Ming did not arrange a large-scale screening of "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" in the United States, even if "Shaolin Temple" was successful in front of it, and Carmichael strongly requested, it was also denied by Yang Ming.

5 theater test screenings!

Originally, Carmicha Cinemas guaranteed to arrange 500 theaters to be released, but Yang Ming thought about it and forgot it, compared to "Shaolin Temple", the fights in "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" are full of too many kung fu moves and Chinese culture that foreigners can't understand!

Don't say anything else, just one word: "Zhongzheng Anshu"!

Can foreigners understand?

And this is precisely the key to Zhang Sanfeng's Phoenix Nirvana, even if Yang Ming used the most suitable translation of this word, he still felt uneasy.

Therefore, this time he decided to use 5 theaters to test the screening, and if the audience in the United States can accept it, he will expand the scale of the screening at that time.
