commercial films, many commercial blockbusters have begun to reap the box office, so that people have a certain misunderstanding that movies should be like commercial movies, not anything else. In fact, people have been spoiled by commercial movies.
Commercial film is a type of film whose main creative purpose is profit. When the film was born, commercial films brought a novel way of entertainment to the audience, so it naturally became a profit-making tool for film merchants. After the development of film companies, many producers have been born. They have to use low-cost investment and high-yield output as the main investment means, and cater to the tastes of the public as the main shooting mode, thus obtaining high returns. After the emergence of the Hollywood film industry, it brought spring to commercial films. Hollywood movies can be mass-produced and produced, most of which follow a routine, but there is no shortage of audiences. When people watch Hollywood commercial films, they mostly watch big scenes, big productions, and stars, rather than small-cost productions. As a result, many sci-fi films, spy films, horror films, action films, etc. appeared in Hollywood commercial films. The commercial is the matrix, and the box office performance is used to measure film quality. The process of making a film is the process of financing, and the process of film screening is the process of making money. , Of course, there are also works of smashing the sand, with a lot of investment, but little income.
Most Hollywood blockbusters have some stimulating factors, such as fighting, drag racing, crime, gunfights, alien battlefields, ghosts, monsters, etc. In addition, there are many famous cars, famous watches, luxury hotels, etc., plus some encounters. As a flavoring agent with love, it attracts a lot of people. In the previous Hollywood blockbusters, the first half of the film was fully prepared, and the second half began to climax, stimulating people's nerves. The current Hollywood blockbusters are not designed this way, otherwise they will lose a lot of viewers. Nowadays Hollywood blockbuster film directors calculate the time people are tired. Generally speaking, five to eight minutes will design a stimulating plot, or chase and fight, or drag racing collision, or the appearance of monsters, or passion in bed, etc., which continuously stimulate people. People’s nerves keep people constantly being stimulated from the beginning, and when they see the end, they think that the film is very good, but in fact it is just the result of being continuously stimulated, but the plot of the film is so bad. Humans are animals with emotions and are more emotional.Especially when you are appreciating works of art like movies, it is easy to be misled by sensibility. The director of a commercial film is to create a continuous visual impact on people, so that people can get a sense of self-consciousness in the constant visual stimulation. In fact, the audience is still calculated by the director.
After watching these commercial blockbusters, and then watching those art films, you will find it meaningless. In fact, I have been spoiled by my appetite. I don’t know why there is such a disgusting appetite. feel. Art films do not produce so much continuous stimulation, but slowly unfold the plot, let the camera narrate, and bring people into the story together and feel the protagonist’s joys and sorrows. The ending may not necessarily be a reunion like a commercial film. Some are still a total tragedy, and some people can't guess the end after watching the beginning, unlike commercial movies that make people guess the end after watching the beginning. Although the current commercial film directors are trying to change the stereotype that people can guess the end after reading the beginning, they try to set some reversal plots, but they are still too blunt, out of the real life, and a bit pretentious. The continuous stimulation of commercial films can make people misunderstand films, thinking that films should be like this, and there shouldn't be realist genres, nor should there be literary films. In fact, they are just the result of capital operation.
Realistic movies are not welcomed by the capital market, and often do not make money. Most of the big directors can make real movies because they use commercial films as a bargaining chip in exchange for them, and of course they don’t make money. Literary films do not make money, but if you adapt the themes of literary films and make them into commercial films, you can make money. Chen Kaige 's " Mei Lanfang " was made into a commercial film, and Wong Kar-wai 's " Grand Master " was made into a commercial film, but none of them won international awards. Some films that are not commercial blockbusters can be shortlisted for international film festivals and even win international film festival awards. South Korea’s " parasite " has little conflict in most plots.It wasn't until the end that the tragedy caused by the huge difference in class suddenly appeared. I am afraid that people who are used to watching commercial blockbusters can't finish such movies, and even drag the progress bar to fast forward and browse. It is not accidental that "Parasite" won the Oscar Award, but marked the cultural connotation and artistic foundation of film art. Look at the movies that won Oscars. Most of them are literary films, not commercial blockbusters.
The continuous stimulation of people’s vision by commercial blockbusters is very powerful. It can not only stimulate the scene, but also cause a certain amount of misleading consciousness, making people think that a good movie is like this, and others Movies without continuous excitement, movies without big scenes and big productions, or even movies without stars participating in performances are not good movies. In this way, the misunderstanding of many people will make the real film art lose its living space. The movie market is mostly lackluster. After the capital is involved in the operation, the major theaters are vying to release profitable commercial films first, instead of showing realistic films or literary films. After all, the audience’s appetite has been spoiled by commercial blockbusters, and they have to pay to watch some exciting commercial films. I don't like those realistic films or literary films anymore. The main purpose of the theater is to make money, and of course commercial films must be released. Then, the movies that people see are mostly commercial movies.
It seems that capital-led film and television shooting can really change people's perception of film art, but people who understand what film art is will still maintain a proper calm and sobriety. If you don't know what is a commercial film and a literary film, then take a look at the " Great Wall " and " one second " directed by Zhang Yimou, and you will immediately understand.
