Yang Ming didn't have such a good impression of Hollywood in his previous life. ← Dingdian Novel,...o

In fact, since the birth of Hollywood, the image of Chinese people has appeared in the movies filmed in Hollywood, but what is puzzled is that the Chinese in these movies are not played by Chinese, but are actually played by white people.

He remembered that he saw these information dug out on the forum in his previous life, and was shocked by these contents.

It's too nonsense to play the Chinese.

But the facts tell Yang Ming that this is indeed the case.

How can I act without Chinese actors? The answer is very simple. Let white people paint their faces yellow to play Chinese. This lowest-level racial discrimination was nothing at the time. Even today, painting their faces black to play black is an absolute taboo. However, painting their faces yellow is still one of the common makeup techniques used in Hollywood.

It can be said that this is discrimination against Chinese people.

Yang Ming remembered that when he saw this information, he didn't get angry. However, he was reluctant to make a local movie at that time, and even tried his best to make a movie that caters to Hollywood flavors. He gave it to the grand prize.

But will the Hollywood Oscar be awarded to Chinese movies?

You should know that the Oscar represents the cake of the American film market. How can we allow Chinese people to come and get a share?

Just think about it and know that this is simply impossible, but what Yang Ming doesn’t understand is the so-called well-known directors who just send the movies, let alone win the award. Once they get nominated, they will be filled with joy. Those who don’t know will think that those domestic big-name directors have won the award!

When Chinese actors really have influence in Hollywood, they should start with Bruce Lee.

The appearance of Bruce Lee did indeed make face for Chinese people in Hollywood and even the whole of the United States. He not only broke the weak oriental image of the traditional Western impression, but also made Hong Kong-style martial arts movies and martial arts popular in the West. It can be said that to this day, Americans' concept of Chinese martial arts is what Bruce Lee shows.

In fact, to put it bluntly, in Yang Ming's view, Hollywood in his previous life was just a hypocritical, uncivilized and profit-oriented place.

Even on the eve of Yang Ming's time travel in his previous life, more and more Chinese elements were added to Hollywood movies? That was just because the box office market in China was too tempting.

Although Yang Ming liked to watch Hollywood blockbusters in his previous life, he did not have a good impression of Hollywood.

Although Hollywood has not discriminated against Chinese actors like in the previous life in this life, it is certain that it is excluded.

Of course, the same is true in China.

Most of the white people in Chinese movies are negative.

Whether it is China or Hollywood, it is impossible to shoot a movie based on the other party’s skin color as the theme!

But Yang Ming found that in the confrontation with Hollywood in this world, Yang Ming was gradually at a disadvantage just like his previous life, and even had a trend of collapse, which made Yang Ming confused.

You should know that China in this world is one of the most powerful countries in the world.

Whether it is economic or military, it stands among the world's powerful countries. China's culture can be said to be innately in a strong position.

However, the entertainment industry in China has not grasped this advantage well in this life. The Greater China cultural circle is currently only radiating to the entire Southeast Asia, and is not like Hollywood, which has left the Americas and influenced the entire world.

What is the reason for this?

Yang Ming didn't know what was going on, so he kept studying this issue in his office.

After all, he has established a branch in Hollywood now. It can be said that he has taken an important step in films. If he does not understand this problem and does not clarify these problems, it will have a great factor in the movies he will choose later.

Local movies in their previous lives were really not good. India has their Bollywood, and it still produces movies with Indian characteristics with the second largest production in the world. Japanese and Korean films have developed rapidly, not only developing their own film industry, but also the production level has been in line with the international level. Korean movies have even been frequently remade by Hollywood in recent years.

But look at the Chinese film industry, which movies have become popular in recent years? "Lost in Thailand", which is well-known and popular in China, is a second-rate production that copied Hollywood genres. In Yang Ming's opinion, even "Little Soldier Zhang Ga" is not as good as; "Tiny Times" is actually a slide-like movie with no standard, a pure brand launch conference, with a total box office of only 20,000 US dollars in North America...

Chinese filmmakers seem to have lost their cultural character, no ability to think and sense of social responsibility. On the other hand, the profit-oriented atmosphere swept the society, and art films have no room for survival. The result of the combined effect of various factors has caused the international cultural image to be unable to be improved.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Chinese people expect Americans to look up to themselves on the one hand, but on the other hand, they look down on themselves.

The deeper reason why Chinese people are self-deprecating towards their own nation is their self-deprecating towards their own culture. This is the biggest factor that Yang Ming believes that the Chinese film industry could not beat Hollywood in his previous life.

If you even alienate yourself from your culture, who do you expect to promote it?

Chinese filmmakers seem to always be obsessed with making their reputation through international film festivals and international awards. Behind this is also a reflection of their contempt for their own culture. Only truly pure national culture is attractive to foreigners.

Ang Lee's success is because his films bring an oriental perspective and the charm of traditional oriental culture, which is exactly what Hollywood needs. The success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" attracted domestic filmmakers to imitate it. In the following years, costume dramas have been continuously released. To put it bluntly, this can only be said to be a manifestation of lack of cultural backbone. It is impossible to imitate the same method.

If the Chinese people’s self-depreciation towards their national culture in their previous lives is the most important factor in the lack of core in the local film industry, and it is also the biggest reason why China’s film industry is humiliated by Hollywood;

So in Yang Ming's view, China's excessive self-confidence and stubborn traditional concepts are actually the roadblock to the further development of China's film industry in this life.

That's right, a great man who never appeared in his previous life led China to sweep the entire world in World War I and World War II, turning China into the most powerful country on this planet.

The confidence of the Chinese people also reached its peak under the guidance of great men.

It can be said that in China this world, there will be no such phenomenon that foreign moons will definitely be rounder than their own country.

Admiring foreign countries and fascinating foreign countries? On the other hand, admiring China and fascinating men!

However, it is this excessive confidence that after decades of precipitation, the film industry in China is like a stagnant pool. Any change will attract countless accusations, making the situation in China's film industry deteriorated day by day, so that now facing Hollywood blockbusters, they are beaten to no avail.

This is the problem in this life.
