Chapter 802. Calling for "Superman"

Inside the bedroom of the Grand Hotel. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Men and women's garments were casually thrown on the ground.

A large soft bed, ruined and unpresentable.

At this moment, the woman lying on her side on the bed half-exposed a touch of snow-white shoulders, which looked even more white and smooth under the moonlight. The kiss marks of the red sè are faintly visible.

The woman's body was facing away from the window, as if because the moon outside the window was too bright. The pretty face with her back to the moonlight was a little tired, but it also gave people a faint feeling of being satisfied. She closed her eyes, her nose fluttering slightly only with her breathing, her exposed arms hugging the pillow, her hands slightly clenched, and she only looked like she was quiet.

Behind the woman, Hollywood? ahref='http:/dianyingdaheng/1950903/'>.Superstar Chen Xiaotang's body was just covered with a thin blanket, and he glanced sideways at Lin Qingxia who was sleeping, Chen Xiaotang opened his eyes and looked at Los Angeles under the brilliant lights at night, and his body could only reflect a not clear outline on the ground under the moonlight...

I don't know how long I watched, Chen Xiaotang wrapped the blanket on his body, sighed, closed his eyes, and began to worry about the big drama that the company was going to open again.

The content of "Superman's Body of Steel" flashed through Chen Xiaotang's mind. I have to admit that aside from the scores smashed by those Rotten Tomatoes, this drama in the previous life was definitely magnificent? ahref='http:/dianyingdaheng/2266042/'>.

And as the screenwriter and producer of this play, Christopher. A name like Nolan is so loud in Hollywood that people have to be convinced.

"Memory Fragments", "The Dark Knight". "Deadly Magic", a series of classics of "Inception", has created Nolan's golden signboard. In Hollywood, countless directors are eager to cooperate with him, the reason is very simple, this young man, known as the "Hollywood Golden Boy Screenwriter", has broken all kinds of shackles and created one legend after another.

If you say, today's Chen Xiaotang is a legend in the screenwriting industry in this time and space. Then another plane, Nolan is definitely a legend within a legend.

"I'm Christopher? Nolan, a typical Englishman, like my predecessor Alfred Hitchcock. Not only a screenwriter, but also a person with whimsical abilities. That's what Nolan says about himself.

There's no denying that Nolan is definitely a wonder in the Hollywood screenwriting world, and he uses bizarre creativity. Explains what Hollywood screenwriters should do. That is to break all shackles and carry out a good story to the end.

From this point of view, Chen Xiaotang's thoughts drifted away again. suddenly understood why he felt depressed recently, Chen Xiaotang also had a sense of depression at this time, but he could look at this problem rationally. His depression is not because his superhuman proposal was vetoed by the fat man Wang Jing and others, but because it comes from the film culture issues he has been considering before.

Why do Hong Kong movies always hang out in a small circle of kung fu themes? Why don't we have a blockbuster like "Superman" in our Chinese films? Why can our screenwriters only make small fights and plagiarize each other? Why can't we have original giants?!

With the precipitation of time, Chen Xiaotang has a deeper understanding of film culture.

Plainly. No matter how awesome the film culture is, it actually carries a kind of culture of its own country.

Take American culture, for example. They advocate ziyou, minzhu, and epic heroism, so there will be a series of heroic movies such as "Superman", "Spider-Man", as well as "Die Hard", "First Blood" and so on.

In these films, violence is not the main theme, but the kind of jing god who helps the needy. Every hero is flesh and blood, and every salvation touches the heavens and the earth.

In contrast, we, who boast of having a 5,000-year-old civilization, have had all kinds of glories in Chinese culture in the long river of history. In the pre-Qin period, there were already hundreds of schools of thought, and then there were Tang and Song poems, Yuan songs, and Ming and Qing novels, which are all representatives of various glorious periods of Chinese culture. Regardless of the form, its deep-seated culture is in the same vein, and the difference in form is only a reflection of the situation of this kind of Jingshen in different times.

But that has changed. After thousands of years of spinning in place, the Chinese nation fell into a circular circle from which it could not be detached, and finally became a politically and economically backward nation at the end of the Qing Dynasty. With the spread of Western learning to the East, the original culture was almost completely abandoned, and the inheritance of traditional Chinese culture was cut off.

In today's Chinese society, it can be said that there are two kinds of thinking, one is the idea of traditional culture, which has not been inherited and carried forward, and this culture is the coexistence of jinghua and dross. The other is a kind of advanced thinking that transcends the conditions of reality. Either way, it doesn't fit the image and god of today's Chinese.

In a word, the weakness of current Chinese culture is precisely due to the lack of a cultural spirit that is advancing with the world and can show the true face of today's Chinese, and the Chinese lack an overall abstract positive image. Among the various forms of culture, there is a lack of images that can truly represent contemporary Chinese.

There is no such god and no such image, which causes many people to worship foreign countries and think that the moon in foreign countries is rounder than in China. This is sorrow, the sorrow that has been precipitated for 5,000 years.

As Napoleon said, China is a sleeping lion, and until now, this lion has not really awakened. China is not so strong that it can see all the mountains at a glance, nor is it a weak person in the eyes of some people who blindly worship foreigners, its potential is huge, but it has a long way to go to truly win the position it deserves. Seeing their own status clearly and determining their goals is what the Chinese need to do now.

Since the eighties of the twentieth century, the Chinese have created many miracles, but this is far from all the strength of the Chinese, once the lion awakens, China can be strong. The key point is to culturally reshape the spirit of the Chinese nation and regain confidence in its own culture. Chen Xiaotang firmly believes that although the United States is now the strongest in the world, it is the Chinese who truly represent the direction of human development. China is the true leader of the world's future, and this is the creed that every Chinese should adhere to.

Chen Xiaotang's idea is not empty ~ out of nowhere, but on the basis of his own knowledge, he has learned through rational thinking. In his mind. This idea of representing the future of the world is definitely not Westernized, and Western culture is indeed excellent today. But it definitely doesn't represent the future. What truly represents the future is the culture of the Chinese.

However, this does not mean that all foreign cultures are excluded. A strong culture not only needs to have a strong influence, but also needs to have a compatible influence. The strengths and strengths of other cultures can be absorbed and then integrated into the national culture. Ancient Chinese culture once had such characteristics, but since modern times. This characteristic is gradually disappearing. When Chen Xiaotang considered a Chinese culture that represents the future, he thought that such a culture is, first of all, the inheritance and development of traditional culture. It is not only necessary to inherit the traditional culture after abandoning the dross. It is necessary to absorb the advantages of other cultures and form a culture.

We do not worship heroism, because we have admired "moderation" from ancient times to the present, and require us not to engage in individualism, but to be proud of the collective, which greatly dampens the positive xing of individual heroes. Perhaps in a sense, this perception is good, after all, the team is more important than the individual. But in a way, people. They are all fantasy animals, with the essence of self-presentation?ahref='http:/dianyingdaheng/4351721/'>.

In other words, why don't we have Superman, we don't have Spider-Man, we don't have Batman? Not because we are poor in creativity and imagination, but because we are bound by ourselves, our traditional culture, and the current mainstream morality requires us to be a mediocre good child, you will be like this for the rest of your life, don't dream, the individual obeys the collective, everything must fight for the collective honor, this is the moral vane, but also the general trend.

But does this restraint really work?

Wrong! Why can a series of Hollywood hero blockbusters break through hundreds of millions in China and become super blockbusters? "Iron Man", "Spider-Man", and "Batman" are on the big screen one by one, and they are very angry?

The reason is simple, we need them and we crave them!

We don't have any "heroes" of our own, so we have to use these "foreign heroes" to masturbate and find our own hero dreams......

I have to say that the fantasy and creativity of the Chinese are bound by our own culture, so we rarely have Nobel, so we rarely have personal heroes, lone heroes; It's like our poor children going to school, they all have to be excellent, to be all-rounders, and not to be unique in one subject. But in reality, how many people can be all-rounders? Edison failed several subjects in the college entrance examination, Newton was even more unresponsive, and Einstein was extremely biased.

Fuck the hell college entrance exam!

his mother's ghost!

This kind of ghost system that only seeks scores and not quality, I don't know how many geniuses have been erased!

With more than a billion people in Greater China, is the probability of genius still lower than that of the United States?

No, it comes down to our own education asking? ahref='http:/dianyingdaheng/4208974/'>.

We crave Superman!

We crave heroes!

We aspire to change ourselves and change the world!

But the cruel reality, the system of cheating fathers is so overwhelming that we can't turn over.

However, this does not mean that we are sinked, because we still have hands and feet, we have brains that have not been washed out, we know how to learn, as long as it is a good thing, it can be used for our own use!

This point has been clearly expounded in Mr. Lu Xun's "Doctrine of Take".

The so-called absorption of the advantages of other cultures is completely different from blindly accepting other cultures, and the key is that the absorber must have his own core culture. Just like a big tree, in order to flourish, the trunk is indispensable for it to be strong and strong. China's 5,000-year-long history and the miracles created in recent years have proved that the Chinese have such a jing, but unfortunately, such jingshen has not been presented through various art forms, that is, various specific manifestations of culture.

When it comes to this kind of culture, Chen Xiaotang is actually not clear, but Chen Xiaotang has vaguely felt its power, which will be the foundation for the Chinese nation to stand tall among the nations of the world. In the final analysis, culture is the root and cohesion of a nation.

The prosperity of culture is naturally not determined by one person, and it takes at least one generation or even several generations of efforts to achieve. Although Chen Xiaotang is only a filmmaker, he is not a cultural giant. He also knew that his efforts alone would not make much difference. On this issue, he felt deeply powerless, but not depressed. Because he saw hope, in reality, he had already seen the jing god that a powerful culture should have.

Think of a few people who know him well, including Fa Ge, Liu Dehua, Liang Chaowei, and even the nonsensical Zhou Xingchi. They all have their own personal dreams. And when these dreams converge, they form a common dream, that is, the strength of Hong Kong films and even Chinese films. By extension, it is the excavation and dissemination of Chinese culture and the growth of the Chinese nation. It is precisely because of the efforts of these people that Chen Xiaotang is full of confidence in the future of Chinese film culture.

All in one. Its profits are broken!

When every Chinese can be proud and work hard for their national culture. The strength of the Chinese nation means that it is just around the corner.

It was with this idea that Chen Xiaotang began to think about his responsibilities and goals again. Yes, it is impossible to rely on him to revitalize Chinese films and spread Chinese culture, but with his talent and status, he can play a leading role. Specifically, Chen Xiaotang's role is also in music and film, if he can drive the development of these two aspects. Form a thriving industry, then. With the wisdom and diligence of the Chinese, a culture that can represent the image and influence of the Chinese will also take shape.

Thinking back to "Superman: Man of Steel", the reason why Chen Xiaotang wants to shoot this drama and play Superman himself is to use the "hero culture" of the United States to create a Chinese version of "Superman Image".

This superman has the traditional Chinese "benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith", the "chivalrous Jing God" that we have been in China for 5,000 years, and the "Shang Wu Jing God" that we have always been proud of but has now been castrated. This is a symbol, a symbol of the new rise of the Chinese, to the world, to the world, we Chinese, there are also heroes!

Then again, why did Chen Xiaotang do this?

Why do you risk losing money and losing your reputation to shoot this drama?!

The reason is simple, because the image of the Chinese is too outdated internationally! Even many foreigners think that the current Chinese still have pigtail braids!!

Such contempt and disdain, ignorance of the Chinese, make Chen Xiaotang, who has always been proud of the nation and proud of the descendants of the dragon, be embarrassed?

I remember clearly that Chen Xiaotang was interviewed by the media once, and the media asked a question, "Is there a McDonald's in China?" Are the Chinese still hungry? Is there no car in China? ”

Such an idiotic question became the subject of that interview, and on the spot, Chen Xiaotang only said one sentence, "You ask me so much, why don't you go to China to see it yourself?" ”

Chen Xiaotang still clearly remembers the reporter's contemptuous look at the time, "Are you going to China?" Oh up, you're going to kill me, I hate their pigtail braids! ”

It is precisely for these reasons that Chen Xiaotang wants to use the play "Superman" to reshape the image of the Chinese, don't you admire Superman very much, so good, let you see the Chinese version!

From Chen Xiaotang's personal aspect, such a decision is very dangerous, and it is not what a successful businessman should do. But on the other hand, if you are timid in this play, then you will regret it after rimming.

Chen Xiaotang hopes to be a person who has no regrets, no matter whether this decision is right or wrong, but how many people can really understand his heart? !

Alas, the loneliest thing in the world is that there is no confidant in trouble. Chen Xiaotang sighed deeply, what he didn't know was that the moment he closed his eyes, Lin Qingxia's originally closed eyes moved slightly.

……

Lin Qingxia's sudden arrival in the United States gave Chen Xiaotang, who had started working non-stop, a sufficient reason to rest.

In just two days, Chen Xiaotang accompanied her to watch a private art exhibition in Los Angeles, when Chen Xiaotang, as a Hollywood superstar, introduced to those Americans, this is our Hong Kong actress, the minds of many men? ahref='http:/dianyingdaheng/1950921/'>.

She doesn't care what others think of her, she only cares about her position in Chen Xiaotang's heart.

Soon, Lin Qingxia will leave Los Angeles, USA. When Chen Xiaotang saw her off, Lin Qingxia suddenly said to him: "Do what you think you should do." ”

"What?" Chen Xiaotang was stunned.

"Although you have been with me for the past two days, you have a lot of worries, I know, you have something on your mind......" Chen Xiaotang didn't expect her to say this.

"Ahem, it's just a little ...... Something about the movie. ”

"So I told you to do it, do what you have to do!" Lin Qingxia encouraged. "Sometimes filming doesn't have to be for the box office, is it?"

Chen Xiaotang's heart moved.

"You're right." At that moment he had a decision.

Seeing Chen Xiaotang's brows stretched, Lin Qingxia was very happy and said with a smile: "That's right, this is the Chen Xiaotang I know, no matter what happens, he is full of confidence." In this way, even if I leave, I can rest assured. ”

"Thank you, Sister Xia." Chen Xiaotang held her hand.

Lin Qingxia's face turned red, and she suddenly said, "It's time for me to get on the plane." ”

Chen Xiaotang: "Hmm. ”

"Just huh?"

"What?"

Before Chen Xiaotang could react, Lin Qingxia suddenly stood on tiptoe, kissed him lightly on the cheek, and then coquettishly said: "Wood!" ”

touched his cheeks and looked at Lin Qingxia, who was as beautiful as a flower.

Chen Xiaotang is drunk

This chapter is written a bit of an outrage, mainly about the education system, which feels too bad and too painful. Alas, everything is in plain sight, everyone understands. (To be continued.) )
