Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 536 "New Condor Shooting" starts, from Rong'er's gaze!
After the box office of "Hua Guo Partners" exceeded [-] million, director Chen Kexin clearly pointed out in an interview: "In addition to the box office, there is no other standard in this world, which is more suitable for measuring a movie."

Judging from this, Chen Kexin has indeed succeeded. The box office hit of "Hua Guo Partners" shows his precise control of the mainland film market.

For a Hong Kong director, the risk of making a film like "Hua Guo Partners" is not small. This is a story with strong local characteristics, and the main actors in the film are all from the mainland.

Chen Kexin is almost alone telling this story as a lonely outsider, but judging from the viewing effect, there is no sense of "violation" in the whole film.

First, it shows that the economy and society in the Mainland are booming, and the aesthetic tastes of mainland audiences are becoming more and more "in line with overseas";
Secondly, it still shows Chen Kexin's own efforts. So many Xiangjiang directors have gone north, but Hong Kong directors who can make works like "Huaguo Partners" are all in the limelight.

However, while reaping high box office and good reputation from ordinary audiences, "Hua Guo Partners" has also encountered fierce criticism from some intellectuals and cultural figures. The focus of the controversy lies in the values ​​​​conveyed by the film.

Critics generally believe that "Hua Guo Partners" tells a hypocritical inspirational story, using deceptive "success studies" to whitewash reality and anesthetize the audience.

Such criticism is not unreasonable. From the point of view, it can be said that "Hua Guo Partners" is a monument to "successful people". Although the characters have some shortcomings, they are generally positive and upward. Often presented as a victim, the only conflict was the controversy over the listing - which is obviously an understatement.

It is worth mentioning that in the 1990s when the protagonist in the film made great strides, the humanistic intellectuals in the mainland also started a big discussion on the "humanistic spirit", regarding market value, instrumental rationality, money worship and other issues. , have been discussed in depth.

"Hua Guo Partners" uses a campus poet to burn poems, cry bitterly, and cut off his long hair to represent the disappearance of the 1980s, more or less implying the complete change of mind of college students in the late 1980s.

Many people, like the three protagonists, gave up their idealism, or went abroad or did business, and their destiny was changed.

The English name of the film is American dreams in China. The so-called "American Dreams in China" subtly interprets another meaning of the film:
The reason why the three protagonists can succeed in starting a business is that the core consumer demand is the "American Dream" of mainland college students, and the three protagonists confront the United States because of intellectual property infringement, which is subtly replaced in the film with "questioning the ability of Huaguo students" The proposition that the obvious lawbreaker has become the hero of "winning the country", and there is a paradoxical meaning of nationalism in it.

Although "Hua Guo Partners" received mixed reviews, generally speaking, there are more praises than criticisms. On Douban.com, "Hua Guo Partners" scored as high as 7.9 points.

As the absolute hero of the movie "Hua Guo Partners", Cao Jun also aroused heated discussions among many netizens by virtue of his role as Cheng Dongqing in the film.

"A good background + respectable diligence + good popularity + good resources, we have reason to believe that in ten years, Cao Jun will be the leading actor in the mainland, like Leonardo, who has been honed from a small boy to a master of acting. In seconds, Chen Daoming and Wang Xueqi who smell like coffins and have a dramatic voice!"

"It's a very inspirational movie. The three leading actors are all very good, especially Cao Jun's acting skills are really getting better and better!"

"I like this movie. The three handsome guys are playing on the same stage, and they have reached new heights, especially Cao Jun's Cheng Dongqing, which is refreshing."

"I think Brother Jun doesn't need to prove anything anymore. He needs good looks, acting skills, works, popularity and box office. The only thing he lacks is the best actor trophy. This time we can get a best actor! It's time!"

"I think Brother Jun is still young, and sooner or later he will get the best actor, so I hope he won't get the best actor so soon, I'm afraid he won't make movies after he gets the best actor!"

"My thoughts are the same as yours. I also think that Brother Jun should not get the best actor too soon. You see, after he won the Shidi Grand Slam, he doesn't make much TV series now, and almost only makes movies."

"It's normal, superstars are like this, look at Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Chow Xingchi, Chow Yun Fat, after they have established themselves in the film industry, who will come out to make TV dramas?"

"That's right, international superstars like Cheng Long and Jet Li have never made TV dramas in their entire lives, and all they shoot are movies!"

"..."

After reading the comments from netizens, Cao Jun is in a good mood, because most of the comments from netizens are relatively good and positive, and there are almost no negative comments.

For an actor, getting praise and affirmation from the audience is the happiest and happiest moment.

There is a saying that gold cups and silver cups are not as good as the reputation of ordinary people.

In addition to the box office, what Cao Jun cares most about is always the word-of-mouth of the film, as well as the love and affirmation of the audience.

On May 5, Jin Yong's martial arts drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", produced by Century Film and Television Company, directed by Jiang Jiajun, starring Li Xian and Li Yitong, officially opened in Hengdian Film and Television City.

In addition to the protagonists Li Xian, Li Yitong, Cheng Xiao, and Zhao Liying, the producer Cao Jun also came to the scene to promote "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Miao Qiaowei, Heizi, Yin Xiaotian and other powerful actors familiar to the audience appeared at the opening ceremony. It is still very exciting to see so many powerful actors in attendance.

"I announce that the new Legend of the Condor Heroes will officially launch today!"

With Cao Jun's order, the drama "New Legend of the Condor Heroes" was officially launched in Hengdian Film and Television City.

The scene was thunderous, and the sound of firecrackers also rang.

At the same time, Cao Jun also noticed that the heroine Li Yitong cast admiring glances at him from time to time.

Cao Jun is used to facing Li Yitong, who is secretly flirting, because no matter which crew he goes to, he can't avoid this situation.

In Cao Jun's view, although Li Yitong has a pure appearance, he has a pair of peach blossom eyes, like crescent moons, and he is full of electricity when he smiles.

Cao Jun is only in his early thirties, after all, he is not an eminent monk, so he can't resist the charming eyes of the girl, so it's hard to think differently.

Especially when he saw Li Yitong wearing Huang Rong's costume at the scene, Cao Jun's heart was even more difficult to calm down. He thought, isn't this the Rong'er in his mind?
In order to prevent others from discovering his inner thoughts, Cao Jun pretended to be a normal person, talking and laughing happily with others.

The play is a classic IP of Jin Yong. When Cao Jun was interviewed by reporters, he talked about this adaptation and believed that "the most important thing is to respect the spirit of the original work." ".

Cao Jun expressed the hope that through careful polishing, the spiritual connotation of the original work, which is scarce in the fast food era of the film and television industry, can be conveyed. He hopes that whether it is the righteousness of the family and the country or the simple and beautiful emotions in the play, it can help modern young people establish a "correct" History, life, and love".
