Coquettish Rebirth

So, is "Hero" popular in the United States?Of course it's red!First of all, after the premiere, when the lights in the theater were turned on, the group of American audiences were still a little bit unsatisfied.Then the audience stood up one by one and applauded Jia Hongjian who was sitting at the back!The 1 people in the audience applauded, and the applause lasted for more than a minute. What kind of rush is this?Some media were still waiting for interviews at the door after the movie ended. For example, CNN reporters picked a few viewers to come over for interviews.And the interviewed audience really said in front of the camera that this film was well shot, meaningful, interesting, and worth watching repeatedly!

Of course, I don't know if what the audience said at this time is true or not.Americans are also vain, just like Jia Hongjian in his previous life watched a spoof of a TV show, fabricated the names of a few athletes, and went to interview passers-by on the street during the World Cup or when, asking them if they would watch the game.Those passers-by bragged that they often watched it, but when the reporter asked them what they thought of so few athletes whose names were fabricated, these passers-by really bragged as if there was such a person, saying That's really a set!From this point of view, there is really not much difference between Americans and Chinese!And as far as it is now, these audiences have just watched the movie, and there are so many people standing and applauding in the theater. They may applaud along with the crowd, even if they think it is not very good-looking, can they say that they think it is not good-looking after they come out?

In case everyone says that this film is good-looking, it has deep meaning.Then he said it was not good-looking, so does that mean that he is low-level and didn't understand it?With this vanity gone.I am sure everyone will subconsciously follow the crowd and say good things. This is a bit like "The Emperor's New Clothes"-the adults all say that the emperor's clothes look good without clothes!However, Jia Hongjian didn't care whether the interviewed viewers liked the film or liked it or not.Anyway, these audiences have already spent their money, as long as they say on TV that the movie is good, that's fine!He, Jia Hongjian, wanted to shape the reputation of "Heroes"!

Sure enough, the next day, after the film reviews from various media came out.That's basically a compliment to "Heroes"!According to those reporters and film critics, although the shooting technique of "Hero" may be a little flawed, the picture is beautiful and the colors are beautiful. At the same time, this movie is not like a movie at all, and it fits so well behind the scenes. The real situation in the United States!This is simply a model of combining film and reality, and the most amazing thing is that such a thing really happened in Chinese history.It really has a true story!

For example, the film critic David Ji Pengna commented on such a "Hero" in the newspaper in this way-"In this era, Hollywood is paying more and more attention to the global market, but the result of paying attention to the global market is the lack of individuality. The more the film It is becoming more and more suitable for people all over the world to watch, but it is becoming less and less American, and less and less like a movie for Americans. Moreover, there are more and more boring and mentally retarded lines in the movie, and it is getting more and more stupid. It's almost drowsy. A work with a box office of only 1 million U.S. dollars in the U.S. market may have a box office of 2 million U.S. dollars in the global market. The more empty, in the end it seems to have become a pure visual impact! At this time, Americans are filming films for foreigners, so who will film for Americans? We are very lucky. There is a Chinese He has been making films for us Americans—Jia Hongjian.”

"When "Infernal Affairs" was released more than a month ago, I was surprised, how could a Chinese make such an American film! But now I see "Hero" again, I know, this is because people have studied The United States, this is because they are making films for the United States! Jia Hongjian has supported a local Chinese director this time. This director surnamed Zhang is quite well-known in European art film awards such as Cannes and Venice. Now, in the With the help of Jia Hongjian, he started to shoot commercial films. Just like his colleagues in Hollywood, he also set his sights on overseas markets. Fortunately, the United States is the largest overseas market in the eyes of Chinese directors. This market is even bigger than their local ones. The market is much bigger, so they have to make films for us."

"In such a film, if we look carefully, we can find that Jia Hongjian and Director Zhang have fully utilized their artistic expertise, but also incorporated many commercial elements, so that the film has suddenly become a film. A commercial blockbuster that is so relevant to reality. In this film, we can think of the "Patriot Act" and the terrorist attacks on our country and our country's response. It can be said that such a film is borrowed from China 2000 years ago The historical story of the current situation has been changed to describe the situation in modern America, so such a film has become at least the best political science film this year. For those who have a little understanding of the current situation, watching such a film will The story behind the politics is very easy to understand. I understand how many policies are made. From this point of view, I want to give this film a perfect score of 5! Jia Hongjian once said before the film was released that this film is absolutely perfect. It’s not just a movie, this sentence is true!”

At the same time, "Washington Post" reporter Stephen Hunter also wrote a film review, "Jia and Zhang's "Hero" is obviously influenced by Chinese director Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but this time Jia and Zhang Zhang's even bigger hand, "Hero" is said to have set a record for the highest production budget in China. Expressive, energetic, and beautifully choreographed martial arts action. The 90-minute film is engrossing and pleasing to the eye. It is a spectacular film Although the film as a whole is still a film with a heroic view of history, it still praises the decisions made by heroes as correct decisions, but the magic is that the content they express makes people have to think of the current world political situation. To a certain extent, we, the United States, are Qin. We want to bring our advanced system and experience to the world, but some people and countries are resisting. They would rather have their own culture that is inhumane than better The more advanced American culture is even hostile to us and carries out terrorist attacks on us. Isn’t this the same as the plot in the movie? In order to guarantee their ideology, Yan State actually carried out state terrorism assassination against Qin State, even Thinking that as long as King Qin dies, everything will be over and the world will be peaceful! This is simply a joke!"

"It's like in the modern world, terrorists think that the United States is the enemy. Could it be that without the United States, their world would be peaceful and beautiful? It's impossible! Without the United States, Saddam Hussein is still squeezing Their people, Israel and the Arab countries in the Middle East without the United States are still fighting. Regional wars have not stopped for decades. If these regions had listened to the mediation of the United States, would there have been no wars? But they hate The United States, they think that as long as they attack the United States, everything will be peaceful. Is it really a fantasy? Just like King Qin criticizing Yan Zidan and others behind Jing Ke, this is a naive view of history. Is it all peaceful? Impossible! Qin King is dead, Qin State will definitely retaliate more harshly, Yan State can only usher in greater losses! Only more people will die! Why don’t they understand, don’t do these things If the matter that provokes Qin State, Yan State will not be so miserable?"

From this point of view, for a while, it seemed that Jia Hongjian's area suddenly became the general direction of political correctness in the United States.It seems to be giving the United States a reason to send troops to Afghanistan. It seems that it has never started to make trouble in Central Asia, that is to bring peace!From this point of view, this is really exaggerated.But Jia Hongjian also knew that those people had no choice. The current situation in the United States was because of 911, so the whole country was indignant and wanted revenge!Under such circumstances, whoever stands up and says that it is wrong to take revenge and send troops is wrong, that is simply the type of traitor!This film is too closely connected with the situation in the United States. To criticize this film is to criticize the sending of troops by the United States, that is to criticize the war in the United States, and that is to be unpatriotic!Even if you are not patriotic, there will be no political pressure, but all kinds of readers will object. If there are too many readers objecting, why should this newspaper apologize or something?Don't you want to embarrass the reporter?So from this point of view, Jia Hongjian's design is truly a success!He successfully brought the Americans into the role of the Qin State, so naturally they can only accept and praise King Qin's defense!

Such a practice that almost all critics praise such a movie has become popular in the United States-because everyone says that this movie has a profound meaning, so it seems that if you don’t watch this movie, you will be a bit out, no It seems that there is nothing to talk about after watching this film, and it seems that if you don’t watch this film, you are a fashion outcast.So for a while, when it really became popular, people have to watch this movie, even if they don’t watch it, they have to go to the Internet to find some spoilers or something, so that people who haven’t seen it can follow There are materials to use when people are bragging and chatting!And such a result, it is really a bit like in the next few years in China, the iphone will become an arcade!It seems that buying an iPhone is a fashion, and it seems that watching this movie is a smart person who can understand it!So under such circumstances, the box office of "Hero" has been rising all the way...
