rebirth of change

"A movie that symbolizes awakening", "Is the policy of keeping a low profile and biding our time changing?" Hollywood Movies"...

After watching Chen Kangjie's movie, a snowflake of news articles and news materials with various titles generally flew to the world's major media.

It seems that every media reporter who watched the movie didn’t care much about the fierce fighting and special effects scenes in the movie. On the contrary, their sharper vision is to see the different logic of the story, especially the strong position that the core of the story wants to express. And this tough stance is aimed at the United States.

Although this movie is a commercial movie, it is in the form of an entertainment movie, but this is what makes people feel surprised.You must know that the investors of this film are Hollywood film companies and Hong Kong film companies, not domestic state-owned studios.

If it is a domestic theme movie, then it’s okay to say, anyway, there have been many such clear-cut theme movies in the past few decades, and they have emerged one after another.

It's just that the influence of the main theme movies shot in China is often limited to the domestic scope, and other countries rarely introduce them, let alone open them in the market --- there will be few people who are interested in them.

And Chen Kangjie's "Dragon Heart" is different. Its investors do not have any government background, the cast is very strong, and the shooting techniques and special effects production are very international.Perhaps in the movie story, there is not such a strong appeal for consciousness, but it is precisely this that is powerful.

Chen Kangjie hopes to adopt a subtle way of infection while avoiding intense disputes.Just like most American movies, they don't want to show American hegemony, justice and supremacy. His values ​​are hidden in the background of the story, hidden in some trivial details.This point was precisely what Chen Kangjie hadn't observed, and he had learned it.

Journalists themselves are a group of people with a keen sense of smell, otherwise, how can they effectively capture the news?Therefore, after watching this movie, while feeling that the plot of the movie is good, everyone can vaguely feel the atmosphere that is different from Hollywood movies.

Of course, in their news reports, it is impossible to completely separate from the movie itself, let alone exclude the role of Chen Kangjie.Therefore, no matter from which angle the reporters interpret the film, its propaganda effect is still there.This is exactly what Chen Kangjie needs.

For this premiere, none of the top executives of the Central Committee attended, Chen Kangjie was not invited, and they did not make a request.Perhaps neither they nor Chen Kangjie wanted to overly add more political color to the film.However, because there was a short-term publicity link for Beijing's Olympic bid, the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Wen Shaoqiang still attended and made an appearance, and he also gave a short speech of 3 minutes.It is nothing more than to welcome these people to the capital, and hope that everyone will like it here and support Beijing's bid for the Olympic Games.

Regarding the feeling of this movie, in addition to those media reporters, many Hollywood stars who are also insiders have also experienced the difference in subtle ways.

On the way back to the hotel from the Great Hall of the People, Cameron had been discussing with Chen Kangjie.

"Long, does your film have a purpose to express?"

"How could it be? Mr. Cameron, you are thinking too much. The story of the movie is just a gimmick, and it is nothing more than hoping to attract more audiences." Chen Kangjie frankly shook his head in denial.

"To be honest, I don't really believe what you said, because I feel very clearly, very clearly, that there is a strong ideological color in it. I am also a film director, and I know very well that no film director makes a film without thinking about anything. Expression, that is unrealistic. Just like a person, without thoughts, can the articles he writes be good? Similarly, if you make a movie without a central idea, can you tell the story completely? Impossible ’” Cameron said bluntly.

"Hehe, I don't deny what you said. If there is anything to say, it is patriotism and national indomitableness. There should be nothing wrong with this, right? Movies in every country in the world seem to be inseparable from this Shadow, American movies, Japanese movies, French movies, British movies, including Russian movies and our Chinese movies, which country will produce movies that are anti-motherland? This is impossible, our choice orientation is the same Yes." Chen Kangjie said with a relaxed smile, not taking Cameron's words seriously.

What Chen Kangjie said can be said to be sophistry, or it can be said to be the truth of the situation.And this truth is almost universal, unless the director who makes the movie wants to overthrow the country he is in, as long as he still has patriotism, the core ideas of the movies he sends out will always be the same, at most there are some differences in the way of expression That's all.

"If you say that, then I have nothing to say... Long, North America is the largest movie market in the world. I am worried that watching your movie will not meet the audience's taste. By then, The box office may not be so ideal." Cameron shook his head and said.

"Mr. Cameron, tell me frankly whether this movie is watchable, I mean in terms of visual and story appeal." Chen Kangjie did not directly confront Cameron's words, but changed a direction.

"Yes, especially to young people."

"That's fine, so why worry? You have to know that even if your American blockbusters are screened in China, the elderly hardly watch them, mainly young people. Since you think it's worth watching, Then I believe that young people in North America will not be repelled. I am not an anti-American movie, you say? I am a young person myself, and I understand that young people do not have so many political concepts in their minds. They are nothing more than hope A movie is attractive, it can only bring him visual enjoyment for a certain period of time. In addition, when it comes to box office, you should know that when I was interviewed by reporters, I said that I don’t really care about box office. I can’t Cater to them completely. As a creator, if you blindly cater to the audience, it’s inferior, but we can actually lead the audience, otherwise, how can there be new movie themes constantly appearing?” Chen Kangjie’s debate It's very powerful, he didn't quote any information, just said it so plainly, it seems that he can't refute it.

Sure enough, Cameron nodded after pondering for a while.

"Mr. Cameron, one thing you may have overlooked is that although my popularity and influence have been obtained from Western society, don't forget that I am a Chinese, a member of the Chinese nation, and a member of the Chinese nation. From this point of view, I express my love and support from the perspective of my own country and nation, is it wrong?" Cameron is a very influential filmmaker in Hollywood, and he is also a very thoughtful There is an iconic filmmaker, so Chen Kangjie hopes to be able to completely convince him, and then let him do it for himself, eliminating some misunderstandings.

"There's nothing wrong with it, there's nothing wrong with it." Cameron said matter-of-factly.

"A French publication said before that I belong to the world, so I will be welcomed all over the world. For his evaluation, I regard it as an encouragement or a kind compliment. In Japan, in order to write songs in Japanese, In the United States, my music and movies are actually very American, and in the Olympics, I represent my country. Didn’t you shoot the "Harry Potter" series of movies? Do you think that in that story What angle am I in? When most people think that the shuffle dance is my first creation, it actually originated in Australia. People all over the world cannot and should not require me to always use a fixed dance. Thinking or consciousness to express or perform. As long as I think it’s fun and pleasant to listen to, maybe one day I will use music or movies to tell an African story, it all exists. As long as I think good things in the world, I They are all willing to understand and learn, why not you." Chen Kangjie patted Cameron on the shoulder and said with emotion.

If Cameron still had some doubts before, after these words, he was indeed completely convinced by Chen Kangjie.

Yes, Chen Kangjie is like an ever-changing star, always able to transfer his identity flawlessly.Audiences who watch "Forrest Gump" will definitely think that the director is American, readers who watch "Harry Potter" will definitely think that the author is British, and those who listen to "The Only Flower in the World" will definitely think that the singer is Japanese. Listening to "Hold in the Palm of the Hand", you will think that he is an Arab, but when you see him fighting on the field, you will find that he is the descendant of the dragon.

He's just so special, so transformative, so why should it be any surprise that he took a new look at "Dragonheart"?

"It seems that my thinking is really complicated. A movie is a movie, as long as it looks good."

"That's right, by the way, have you ever thought about making a movie with a Chinese theme?" Chen Kangjie asked, changing the subject.

"No, not now, I'm not as talented as you, so far, I think I don't know anything about Chinese culture and history. Without a deep understanding of history and culture, it is impossible to make good movies But this time I visited the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, which aroused my interest. If I have the opportunity, I may make a movie about emperors, such as Qin Shihuang, Genghis Khan, etc. Of course, these short-term No, I have to study harder, hehe."

"If this is the case, then I can send you a few books about their history... I forgot, you can't read Chinese, hehe, you should go to the largest Library of Congress in the United States to find information. "Chen Kangjie paused, slapped his head and said.
