Chapter 1104 The Biggest Difference Between Theme Movies at Home and Abroad

In fact, too much of any subject matter may indeed cause the audience to experience aesthetic fatigue, but the most critical reason is not this.

Because a good movie will never be abandoned by the audience because of the subject matter.

"Speaking of it this way, it seems to be true." Chen Wen and the others couldn't help but frowned slightly, quite puzzled.

"Then what do you think caused it?" Lin Yunbin couldn't help asking.

"In fact, what do you think are the similarities and differences between our domestic theme movies and Hollywood theme movies?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

Chen Wen and the others buried their heads in deep thought.

"The similarity is that most of the current domestic movies have the shadow of Hollywood movies, right?" Zhou Guo raised her head and said.

"Yes, this is one point, but the bigger key lies in the difference." Li Yi naturally has his own set of logic.

Of course, it is not fabricated out of thin air, but seeking truth from facts.

"The difference?" Everyone looked at Li Yi curiously.

"Have you found out what was the most scolded in "Wolf Warrior" back then?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

"Is there a shadow of a divine drama?"

"Too exaggerated?"

"The protagonist who can't be killed?"

Of course they are no strangers to "Wolf Warrior", Lin Yunbin also played a role in it.

At the beginning, although "Wolf Warrior" had a very high box office, in fact, its reputation was not particularly good.

It is because the leading actor in "Wolf Warrior" does have the shadow of many Hollywood-themed superheroes in it.

The same is to fight a group, and the same is to turn the tide.

To put it simply, the expression of individual heroism is very close to those Hollywood movies in this respect.

And this is where "Wolf Warrior" is scolded the most.

"Yeah, in fact, since then, I have discovered that "Wolf Warrior" itself has actually highlighted a little sign. If you want to talk about aesthetic fatigue, then I think that this kind of combat power is beyond the charts. One person beats a group of people. The model of personal heroism is what makes many audiences feel tired. Because whether it is Hollywood or domestic, in fact, audiences really watch too many heroes and protagonists of this kind." Li Yi said.

"Then why did "Wolf Warrior" get a lot of praise? And why did it get a high box office?" Li Yi continued to ask.

"Isn't this because of the dividends of the times?" Chen Wen asked bluntly.

This is actually one of the biggest reasons why many people are jealous of the high box office of "Wolf Warrior".

There is a saying: I can do it myself!

In fact, many people just think that "Wolf Warrior" is just because of the bonus of being the first person to eat crabs. What bonus?
The dividend of the rise of national self-confidence.

In fact, Li Yi does not deny this point. It can be said that the reason why the previous main theme movies were invincible is actually because of this bonus.

Objectively speaking, because the market needs such films, the public needs such films, and such channels to vent their frustrations.

In the early years, the so-called first-class foreigners can be said to be everywhere, and this is also true.

For many people, although it is easy to talk about it, how many people in the country don't want to see the real strength of their motherland?

But now that our motherland has really become stronger, then this demand must exist.

In the past, if a movie was made to talk about the strength of the motherland, some viewers might only think it was YY, because there was no basis for reality, but now, it is not YY.

For example, "Wolf Warrior", yes, the protagonist in it is indeed somewhat exaggerated, but the problem is that the incident itself is real.

There are real events as the basis, which is the most important thing for the audience to accept this movie.

"Actually, have you found out that the main theme movies made in China, and those movies that hit the blockbusters, all have real backgrounds!" Li Yi expressed his thoughts.

It's not like he's talking nonsense.

This is the case.

Not to mention anything else, such as "The Garland Under the Mountain" and "Wolf Warrior" all have realistic or historical prototypes.

This can be said to be the biggest difference between domestic-themed movies and Hollywood-themed movies.

Looking at Hollywood's main theme movies, in fact, most of the story backgrounds are blurred, because they don't have so much historical material to write.

But Huaguo is different. Huaguo has too many real historical stories that can be adapted.

Li Yi has always felt that there is really no need to make up so many unreal stories for domestically-made movies with the main theme, because there are too many real stories that are suitable for adaptation.

"That said, it seems to be true!" Everyone couldn't help feeling suddenly enlightened.

The main theme movies in China are really based on the adaptation of real events, and this kind of movies are obviously more successful.

"That's right. Although Hollywood's main theme movies seem to be very popular, in fact, the same is not uncommonly complained about. It turns out that this is the problem." Chen Wen couldn't help but exclaimed.

is not that right?

As far as the domestic theme movies are concerned, from ancient times to the present, in fact, if you count them in detail, most of them have prototypes.

Whether it's biographies or campaigns, there are prototypes.

This can be said to be truly different from Hollywood's main theme movies.

And just like what Li Yi said, the current main theme movies that can be regarded as successful are actually this kind.

On the contrary, movies with the main theme of those fabricated stories feel like a tree without roots. After the craze subsides, it is revealed.

"However, there are many such films that fail. Some of them look good, but the results are unsatisfactory. For example, "Heroes of the Sea of ​​Fire", such as "Ordinary Brave", are also adapted from real events. But why is it neither applauded nor seated?" Zhou Guo asked with a frown.

Li Yi knows about these two movies, because these are the two movies with the largest cast among the main theme movies this year.

The movie "Heroes of the Sea of ​​Fire" is adapted from real events. It tells the story of an ordinary worker in a factory who, after a fire broke out, paid the price of his life to stop the expansion of the fire.

According to the promotion of this movie, the main line can be said to highlight a civilian hero, which seems very down-to-earth.

It actually looks pretty good too.

"I know "Heroes of the Sea of ​​Fire". I was invited back then, but at that time I had no schedule so I declined. I read the script and it was indeed quite good. The firefighter is an ordinary worker, but for some reason, after the movie was released, it did not achieve the expected results, and instead was scolded by many audiences for being unfair." Chen Wen said.
