Chapter 724

It was late at night, but Wu Kebo was still busy in the office, although there were still more than three months before the Chinese New Year, but the preparations for the release of "Ink Attack" had already begun.

was looking at the plan sent by the company's publicity department, when suddenly the phone rang, and Wu Kebo hurriedly grabbed the phone.

"Yes, I know, Mr. Chen rest assured, okay! That's all!"

In less than a minute, Wu Kebo put down the phone, looked at the publicity plan for "Ink Attack" in his hand, and sighed deeply, his face full of exhaustion.

It is said that Orange Sky Entertainment's development is not bad now, because it successfully leveraged Wang Jinghua at the beginning, making the company's star lineup very large.

The works launched in the past two years have achieved good box office results, but Wu Kebo is not satisfied, especially with such an obvious reference as 1+1 company, compared with each other, Wu Kebo is not disheartened, even if he is determined.

Especially last year's "The King of Kung Fu", which brought together Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Li Bingbing, and the Hollywood production team, was pinned on by Wu Kebo, and the result was ~~~~

Alas~~~~~~

Wu Kebo originally wanted to create a fantasy classic, but the audience didn't buy the film, and after the release, criticism continued, and it was even said to be a hodgepodge.

In fact, if you really want to talk from the heart, the setting of the story "The King of Kung Fu" is still good, but unfortunately, the heart of the main creator is too big, and he wants to conquer the domestic market, and he also wants to please the audience in Europe and the United States, but he was messed up.

The film brings together Li Lianjie and Cheng Long, two kung fu superstars, originally thought that this would definitely attract the audience's attention, but the first big screen showdown between the two people felt like Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong, which was not a compliment, but a sarcasm.

The most concentrated criticism of "The King of Kung Fu" lies in the alienation of Chinese cultural symbols in the film, the story of the Monkey King's havoc in the Pan Tao Club, mixed with the silent monk of Shaolin Temple, the drunken boxing ranger, and the little girl throwing darts, and then linked with the experience of an American young man, and through the legend of the golden hoop stick, it became a hodgepodge of decisive battles on the top of the purple gold, which inevitably made Chinese audiences feel that the bull's head was not the horse's mouth.

But Wu Kebo has always believed that the alienation of Chinese culture in "The King of Kung Fu" is not entirely a bad thing, after all, this is a mainly English-speaking film, which is made for European and American audiences, and the domestic box office is just the added value of the box office of this film, and Wu Kebo's target audience is not here.

For European and American audiences who are not familiar with Chinese culture, it is the most important thing to be able to include this film in their field of vision, first of all, to let them know that there are cultural elements such as the Monkey King and the Golden Hoop Stick, and then to improve their understanding on this basis.

Some viewers think that it is awkward for the Jade Emperor to speak fluent English, but don't the ancient Egyptian priests in "The Mummy" also speak English?

Didn't the ancient Greek nobles in "Troy" also speak English?

Don't the Soviet Red Army soldiers in "The Contest in the Decisive Battle" also speak English?

If Chinese filmmakers want to export their own culture, they must approach them in a way that is acceptable to the other party, and deepen step by step, in order to achieve the goal of peaceful evolution.

In Wu Kebo's original plan, "The King of Kung Fu" was just the first step, first to familiarize European and American audiences with these Chinese cultural symbols, arouse their interest, and then come back to the real thing.

If you look at it purely from this point of view, "The King of Kung Fu" is undoubtedly a success, you must know that some countries do not hesitate to spend a lot of dollars in order to export their own cultural hero symbols, while European and American audiences still have to pay out of their own pockets to watch "The King of Kung Fu".

The fact that you can earn money and promote your own culture is in itself a testament to the profound appeal of Chinese culture.

Moreover, in "The King of Kung Fu", the characters of the Monkey King, the Silent Monk, and the Drunken Immortal are certainly somewhat different from the existing concepts in traditional Chinese culture, but they are still above board in nature, and they are all righteous and kind, representing the power of truth, goodness, and beauty.

"The King of Kung Fu" has created an alternative Monkey King, but no matter how you say it, this Monkey King is still a symbol of a screen hero, and a spiritual idol of American youth who have traveled thousands of miles to "the door of no door", for an American audience, the Monkey King is no different from Batman, Superman, and Spider-Man, so in the general direction, "The King of Kung Fu" promotes Chinese culture and enhances the image of our nation's screen culture.

Moreover, don't look at so many people in China jumping out to accuse "The King of Kung Fu", but you don't necessarily understand the Monkey King more thoroughly than others.

In these years, how many people still read Wu Chengen's original text seriously?

The image of the monkey god is originally derived from the influence of Hindu mythology, and the predecessor of the Monkey King is said to be Hanuman or Wuzhiqi, in fact, think about it from the perspective of an outsider, in the Chinese culture that lacks mythological traditions, a monkey suddenly jumped out of the sky and into the earth, which is a bit of an evil thing.

"The King of Kung Fu" has opened up the boundary between humans and gods, the Jade Emperor and the Jade Frontier God of War are more like the rulers of a feudal country, and the immortal mountains they live in are also something that ordinary people can kill and enter.

From the perspective of Western culture, this is also understandable, the gods and mortals in ancient Greek mythology often interacted, and if they didn't do well, they often got married and gave birth to a hybrid of human gods or something.
