What's wrong with Chinese movies?

Flat head, blue-gray shirt, calm expression, gushing speech, this is Feng Xiaoning, one of the leading figures of China's fifth generation of directors. As the conflict and harmony between traditional culture and movies, yesterday Heavy Youth Daily conducted an exclusive interview with this big name in China's movie industry today. Mainstream movies have not inherited traditional Chinese culture Chong Qing Daily: Feng, how are you? As an art, movie carries the responsibility of inheriting culture, while some movies nowadays, in the pursuit of commercial profits, at the expense of great hype, the film can not find the word culture. However, box office is indeed an important index to measure the success or failure of a movie. How do you feel about this issue, and what kind of ways do you think China should keep the cultural elements in its movies in the age of an impatient movie market? Feng Xiaoning: Actually, what you just said has already answered the question covered in it, and also represents the answer of the majority of Chinese audiences. Indeed, China has not inherited the traditional culture of China or the nation in the mainstream in the last time. In the last ten years or so, Chinese movies have not inherited the traditional culture of China or the nation in the mainstream, nor have they inherited the traditional culture of mankind or the history of cinema. Although there is culture in it, it is actually bubble culture. Another thing is that in the recent period, the commercial movies that appeared consecutively are some of the works that lack culture and taste, and at this point, the whole Chinese people can see it for themselves. China's movie market has entered a monopoly Chong Qing Daily: Some people say that China is now able to create good movie works, but the audience can not see it, what is your opinion about this? Feng Xiaoning: Now the Chinese movie market has entered a monopoly, which includes some strong monopolies and even black market monopolies. Some works that are now hot in the market, they monopolize the theaters and cinemas, and only allow the audience to see those works they created, but not allow everyone to see the good works created by millions of artists, which creates an abnormal phenomenon in the film market. At the same time, many of these monopolized works are really in a hurry to make money, forming the present audience to watch and re-watch the big and bad films with no cultural taste, while a large number of tasteful and good-looking and touching works are invisible to the audience. The reason for this phenomenon is due to many reasons. Filmmakers and artists themselves lack the artistic and literary style of great men like Li Bai and Qu Yuan. Any great man in the world who can be recognized is indifferent to fame and fortune. No one in Chinese history has ever pursued fame or awards. Did Li Bai ever ask for money to write a poem, or did Qu Yuan ever pursue the so-called box office for his works? And all of these have only appeared in the last decade or so. Young readers should read more classical books Chong Qing Daily: Feng guide, here, how should our young readers to inherit our traditional culture? Feng Xiaoning: The most direct way is to read more ancient books, these classics that have been passed down for hundreds and thousands of years are definitely good things, which are rich in national culture and traditional culture. I hope that young readers can go from these classical books to get the baptism of thought. The first Chongqing Culture and Arts Festival, which has just opened, is one of the best platforms for passing on traditional culture. As a son-in-law of Chongqing, my greatest hope is that my new work "Qinghai-Tibet Line" can be premiered in Chongqing, and I would like to take advantage of Chong Qing Newspaper to say hello to my hometown fathers and mothers.
