Chapter 1374 (2/2)
This has caused great shock in the Hong Kong film circle. Many investors, directors and actors in the Hong Kong film circle are lamenting that in a few hours, Makino technology has completed the cultural output that Hong Kong films have not been able to achieve in more than ten or twenty years, which is really amazing.
Zombie movies can't go out of Chinese areas for 20 years, which is also a typical phenomenon of global cultural output in recent years. Our people know too much about western culture, but the western people know little about our culture.
In the Chinese world, our three-year-old children all know about western vampires. They know that they have long tusks, they are nocturnal, they live by sucking human blood. They also know that ordinary people will become vampires if they are bitten by vampires.
However, few Westerners know that there is also a kind of zombie in China. They are caused by some special reasons after the death of ordinary people, such as too much resentment in life, or too much yin in the burial place. On the night of full moon and after the corpse changes, the corpse in the coffin will become a jumping zombie. They can't see it, but they have a keen sense of smell, and are afraid of glutinous rice and red Line, afraid of black donkey's hoof and black dog's blood, more afraid of the peach wood sword and the dead body talisman of the zombie Taoist priest.
Our young people have made Valentine's day, Christmas Eve and Christmas a significant festival. They send flowers on Valentine's day, eat apples on Christmas Eve and open houses with their girlfriends on Christmas day. However, the young people in the West even know little about our Spring Festival. As for the traditional festivals such as Tanabata, dragon's day and Mid Autumn Festival, few Westerners know about them;
Thailand Classic love films like Titanic can sweep all over China, making no one in China know about it. But domestic films like farewell my concubine won Cannes awards abroad, but the total box office in the United States is no more than five million dollars.
We know too many western big stars, have seen too many of their films and heard too many of their songs. But the Chinese movie stars that the Western audiences know have real influence. Apart from Li Xiaolong, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, there is basically no one else.
This is the huge inequality of cultural output. At this point, the United States is like a country with a huge trade surplus, while we are a country with a huge trade deficit, even almost to be regarded as a dumping market by the other side.
It is precisely because of the unequal cultural output throughout the year that the update of ”plant vs. zombie online” is of great significance in the eyes of Chinese cultural industry.
Among them, Hong Kong film circle is the most shocked.
8. In the 1990s, a large number of zombie films emerged in Hong Kong, from Lin Zhengying to Hong Jinbao and Wuma. These excellent Hong Kong actors have made great contributions to the prosperity of zombie films.
However, in Hong Kong, where the film industry is booming, zombie type films have suffered from excessive pressure in a short period of time, with all kinds of rotten films running rampant, so that later, audiences in both Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as in the mainland, have seen enough of this type of films, and the market space has plummeted.
One of the most important reasons is that after Lin Zhengying's death, zombie movies have no real benchmark characters.
Although Hong Jinbao made zombie movies in the early years, he quickly embarked on the path of mainstream movies, and supporting actors such as Wu Ma have a very wide play path in Hong Kong's film industry,
up to now, there are almost no new zombie films in Hong Kong, and this theme is rarely touched in the mainland. Everyone regards zombie films as old semiconductors The radio, which has been thrown into the dustbin or storage room, has put its energy into the more advanced TV and computer. Only a few nostalgic people will occasionally take it out to listen to
the Hong Kong film circle is a peak of the Chinese culture industry. Although it has declined a lot, it did have a very brilliant achievement in that year, so their pattern and vision are relative More internationalized, many people in the film industry have found that the update of ”plant vs. zombie online” has caused a lot of repercussions and strong recognition overseas, and they realize that this may be a good opportunity to let Hong Kong zombie film catch the super ride to all over the world!
