Chapter 200: If you don't explode in silence, you perish in silence
Chapter 200 does not explode in silence, but perish in silence
The market guides the audience, and who guides the market?
This is an issue that must be faced, and it must not be taken lightly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Now it's like this. Zheng Xixi nodded, "What do you show to the audience, and everyone has a herd mentality, everyone else went to see it, and before they knew it, they went with it, the movie is to be invested, if the cost can't be recovered, who will invest next time?"
"So, if Director Zhang succeeds this time, at least there will be a territory left for the Dragon Kingdom movie?" asked Wang Yao.
"If it happens, at least when Western blockbusters enter the country, there will be a benchmark. Zheng Xixi smiled, "It is a general trend for the film market to be dominated by Western films in the next few years, because the other party has matured, and the domestic strategy is to let them in, and then wait for them to open up the market, and then domestic films will be on top again." ”
"It sounds like a long-term development strategy, but what if domestic films can't get off?" Wang Yao asked with a smile.
"Feng Shui takes turns, and there will always be a day when Western movies are tired of being watched by the audience, and when the time comes, it will reincarnate us. Zheng Xixi smiled.
Wang Yao shook his head: "No. ”
Zheng Xixi was stunned.
"Film is the most important channel for the export of soft culture in the future, there is no problem with your market decision-making, they will use a lot of their own capital to invest in the development of the domestic market, if the number of moviegoers is 50 million now, then the number of moviegoers may reach at least 100 million in a few years, but the entire society and culture in recent years will fall westward. Wang Yao's face was serious.
"The decline of domestic culture and the rampant of Western culture will cause a subtle admiration of foreign flattery, people are contrasting, if there is no culture that can compete with it for a long time, then it will affect the foundation of the entire culture, causing serious consequences. ”
Zheng Xixi blinked, "But the domestic film industry does not have the ability to develop the market, this price is too great, and global communication and exchange are close at hand." ”
"When a businessman is pursuing profits, won't he think about the future?" Wang Yao frowned.
Zheng Xixi pursed his lips and nodded, "Because making money is the foundation of a business." ”
Wang Yao was silent for a moment, "I understand, but I don't agree." ”
Zheng Xixi smiled helplessly, "What do you mean?"
"You may think it's a market problem, but the impact is actually much worse, a few years, enough to affect two generations. Wang Yao pointed to himself, "At my age, there is a generation younger than me, they have lived under the influence of KFC, McDonald's, Western movies, and Western pop music since childhood, they have no way to feel the traditional Chinese culture, and they will even think that the Western culture around them is the culture of China." ”
Zheng Xixi frowned.
"Then they will forget the tradition, forget the suona, forget the yellow earth, red sorghum, forget the opera, forget the Hanfu, forget the embroidery, forget the poetry and songs, they will forget the whole of China. Wang Yao's voice was a little low.
Zheng Xixi swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and looked at Wang Yao with some restraint inexplicably.
"I agree with the theory of the reincarnation of aesthetic fatigue you said, but this is not a reason to abandon the Chinese tradition, human beings are developing from generation to generation, and the previous generation is aesthetically fatigued, is it possible that their next generation is tired at birth?" Wang Yao asked with a frown.
"Well, that seems to make sense. Zheng Xixi blinked and nodded.
"If you look at the market, the whole domestic market will eventually become a cow in the West, it seems that they have developed the market for us, but if you think about it, will these companies in the future be foreign? Because you, the investors, prefer their mature model, which is the lowest risk. Wang Yao frowned and said
"Your money, invest in them, they squeeze the domestic labor force, and then make domestic money in the domestic release, in the end the money you make is still the Chinese, and the money they make is also the Chinese, in the long run, it is a vicious circle for the market, what is our own? The bottom workers make money for foreign companies, domestic consumers buy foreign products, everyone is influenced by foreign culture, and when everyone is Westernized, the so-called reincarnation is not the reincarnation of the East and the West, but the reincarnation of the West. ”
Zheng Xixi pursed his lips, "It shouldn't be that exaggerated." ”
"You're underestimating the conscious output of soft culture. Wang Yao said solemnly, "After Western pop music entered China, the entire folk music system was impacted. Who conveyed this concept?"
Zheng Xixi gasped inexplicably.
"Traditional bands are more earthy than Western bands, who conveyed this concept?" asked Wang Yao again.
"It's a businessman. At this time, Zhang Yiyan's voice came from behind him.
Wang Yao and Zheng Xixi turned their heads at the same time and looked at Zhang Yiyan and the others standing behind them.
Wang Yao and Zheng Xixi were hiding in a small hall next to the living room, the living room was too hot and smoked, and they chatted too much and didn't notice when Zhang Yiyan and the others behind them came.
Wang Yao blinked, "Is it really a businessman?"
"At first, it was really unintentional. Zhang Yiyan sighed lightly, "This was commercial competition at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to develop into a cultural tumor, and Western music was not welcomed when it came to China early, because the common people did not listen to foreign things, but with the entry of Western culture, the status of Western music was repeatedly raised, and finally became the biggest enemy of the decline of traditional folk music." ”
"Why? It stands to reason that it wouldn't have such a big influence. Wang Yao frowned, a little different from what he thought, he thought it was a conspiracy of the West.
In the early eighties, after the end of the turmoil, the two words tradition became a code name for feudal remnants, superstition, backwardness, exploitation of working people, and landlords. Zhang Yiyan sighed lightly, "Then some local businessmen introduced Western music from the West, started to promote it from the bottom, and then slowly monopolized the red and white ceremonies at the bottom." ”
Wang Yao was stunned, it turned out that it was because of this.
"I have to say that for the people who just came out of the old era in that era, they hate the word tradition, and they don't like tradition when they enter the country with new things from the West, so they try foreign things, and this try will be out of control. Zhang Yiyan smiled helplessly, "From food to clothing, entertainment to culture, it's all foreign things." ”
"I see. Wang Yao said in a low voice, "Is it an internal trouble?"
"No, it can only be said that the domestic ideology was too backward at that time, coupled with the restructuring of state-owned enterprises, most people began to be private, and the bottom market suddenly flourished, and when you want to control it again, it will be too late, which is a remnant of the times. Zhang Yiyan smiled, "This is the progress of the great era, and every country has such a moment in evolution." ”
"But tradition has been reduced to waste. Wang Yao pursed the corners of his mouth.
"It has something to do with the minds of the people. Zhang Yiyan smiled, "Because I hate the old era, I will abandon the tradition so completely, and in the context of globalization, cultural export is unavoidable, after all, we can't close the country again." ”
"So, the current situation of traditional culture is still expected by someone?" asked Wang Yao with an eyebrow.
"That's not something we can handle. Another middle-aged man laughed, "What we need to do is to protect this last part of the tradition." ”
"I have always been afraid to speculate on the people of the Dragon Kingdom with the worst malice, but I did not expect or believe that they would be so cruel. Wang Yao whispered what Lu Xun said.
This is from one of his biographies "In Memory of Liu He Zhenjun", and there is another sentence in it.
'Silence, silence, if you don't explode in silence, you perish in silence. ’
Liu Hezhen was a progressive young woman during the Republic of China, a hero of the anti-Japanese war, and the outbreak of the 'Dagukou Incident' was caused by the fact that Feng Yuxiang's army stationed in Tianjin was forcibly added by the Western powers in a dispute with Zhang Zuolin's army in violation of the "Xinchou Treaty", and several countries jointly forced Feng Yuxiang to open the Dagukou.
Since ancient times, Dagukou has been the barrier between Beijing and Tianjin, and the best place to log in, once opened, it is equivalent to opening the country to invaders.
Feng Yuxiang, who was under pressure, finally opened the Dagu Pass, which was opened in the morning, and Dongying's warships drove in in the afternoon, but because there was no contact in advance, Feng Yuxiang's army fired a signal, but he didn't expect the Dongying army to open fire directly and bombard Dagukou, resulting in hundreds of national casualties, Feng Yuxiang's army counterattacked, and the Dongying army was expelled.
After the expulsion, the Dongying army took a bite and ordered Feng Yuxiang's army to withdraw from all armed defenses in Jinmen on the grounds of sabotaging the "Xinchou Treaty", dismantling the defense fortifications at Dagukou, and making unreasonable demands such as the transportation from the capital to the sea mouth without any obstacles.
This is equivalent to directly opening the country, and the next day the warships of the Eight-Nation Coalition gathered at Dagu Pass and began to threaten with force.
Such blatant bullying finally aroused public indignation, and the two parties held an emergency meeting at that time, but the 'March 18 tragedy' broke out
The armed demonstration of the Eight-Nation Coalition Army aroused public indignation, and Li Dazhao and other revolutionaries organized 5,000 people to protest at Tiananmen Square, but they were suppressed by force by Duan Qirui's army, and 47 people were injured on the spot, more than 200 people were injured, and Li Dazhao and others were all wounded.
One of them was Liu Hezhen, who was only 22 years old at the time, intelligent and shrewd, and was admitted to the Southern Normal School with excellent results, and loved the literature of Mr. Lu Xun and Mr. Li Dazhao, and was one of the important promoters of the women's movement in the New Dragon Kingdom.
During the Republic of China, a young woman with short hair, she was the initiator, and often gave anti-Japanese speeches on the street and engaged in anti-Japanese movements.
