After watching Chen Kangjie's movie, various titles of news releases and news materials flew to major media around the world.
It seems that every media reporter who has finished watching does not care much about the fierce fighting and special effects scenes in the movie. On the contrary, their sharper vision is that they see different story logic, especially the tough stance that the core of the story wants to express, which is targeted at the United States.
Although this movie is a commercial movie and an entertainment movie, it is surprising that this is what makes people wonder. You should know that the investors of this movie are Hollywood film companies and Hong Kong film companies, not domestic state-owned studios.
If it is a domestic main theme movie, it would be fine. Anyway, for decades, there have been many clear-cut main theme movies, emerging one after another, all of which must reflect the image of a country or government party that is constantly improving.
However, the influence of the main theme films filmed in China is often limited to the domestic scope. Other countries rarely introduce them, let alone open screens in the market - there will be no more people interested in the screenings.
Chen Kangjie's "Heart of Dragon" is different. Its investors do not have any government background, the cast is very strong, and the shooting techniques and special effects are very international. Perhaps there is not much conscious demand in the movie story, but this is the most powerful thing.
Chen Kangjie hopes to avoid strong disputes while adopting subtle ways of infecting them. Just like most American movies, they do not have the same way as Hongguoguo to express the hegemony, justice and supremacy of the United States. His values are hidden in the background of the story and hidden in some trivial details. This is not something Chen Kangjie has observed, and he has also learned it.
News reporters themselves are people with a keen sense of smell, otherwise how could they effectively capture the news? Therefore, after watching this movie, while thinking that the plot of the movie was good, everyone vaguely felt the different atmosphere from Hollywood movies.
Of course, in their news reports, it is impossible to completely detach from the movie itself, and it is even more impossible to exclude Chen Kangjie's role. Therefore, no matter which angle the reporters interpret the movie from, the promotional effect is always there. This is exactly what Chen Kangjie needs.
None of the central government's senior executives attended the premiere, Chen Kangjie did not invite him, nor did they make any requests. Perhaps, neither they nor Chen Kangjie wanted to add more political colors to the movie. However, due to a brief promotion of the Olympic bid in Beijing, the Municipal Party Committee Secretary Wen Shaoqiang still attended the event, and he also gave a brief speech for three minutes. It was nothing more than welcoming these people to the capital, hoping that everyone would like it and support the Olympic bid in Beijing.
In addition to those media reporters, many Hollywood stars who are also insiders also have subtly experienced the differences in their feelings about this movie.
On the way back to the hotel from the Great Hall of the People, Cameron had been discussing with Chen Kangjie.
"LONG, is your movie purposeful to express?"
"How could that be? Mr. Cameron, you think too much. The movie story is just a gimmick, just to attract more audiences." Chen Kangjie shook his head calmly and denied.
"To be honest, I don't believe what you said, because I am very clear and very clear and feel that there is a strong ideological color in it. I am also a film director. I know very well that it is unrealistic to not express any movies made by a film director. Just like a person, without thoughts, can the articles written by him be good? Same, if the movie you make does not have a central idea, can you tell the story in its complete form? It's impossible." Cameron said very directly.
"Haha, I don't deny what you said. If you insist on saying anything, it means patriotism and the indomitable nation. There should be nothing wrong with this? The movies of every country in the world seem to be inseparable from this shadow. American movies, Japanese movies, French movies, British movies, and Russian movies and our Chinese movies. Which country's filmed movies are anti-motherland? This is impossible, our choice orientation is the same." Chen Kangjie said with a relaxed smile, not taking Cameron's words as solemn.
Chen Kangjie's words can be said to be a quibble or a truth. And this truth is almost universal. Unless the director who made the movie wants to overthrow his country, as long as he has patriotism, the core ideas of the movie sent out will always be similar, at most it is a little different in expression methods.
"If you say that, then I have nothing to say. LONG. North America is the largest film market in the world. I am worried that watching your movie will not meet the tastes of the audience. At that time, the box office may not be so ideal." Cameron shook his head and said.
"Mr. Cameron, you can be frank about whether this movie is watchable. I mean it is based on visual and story appeal." Chen Kangjie did not directly fight Cameron's words, but changed his direction.
“Yes, especially for young people.”
"That's fine, what are you worried about? You have to know that even if you American blockbusters are shown in China, the elderly hardly watch them, mainly young people. Since you all think you have a good impression, I believe that young people in North America will not be rejected. I am not an anti-American movie, do you think? I am a young man myself, and I understand that young people don't actually have so many political concepts in their minds. They just hope that a movie is attractive and can bring him a certain amount of time to see.
It's just enjoyment. In addition, when it comes to box office, you should know that when I was interviewed by a reporter, I said that I don't care much about box office, and I can't cater to them completely. As a creator, if we just cater to the audience, it's inferior, and we can actually lead the audience, otherwise how could new movie themes continue to appear?" Chen Kangjie's eloquence is very powerful. He did not quote any information, but just said it so plainly, and it seemed that he could no longer refute it.
Sure enough, Cameron nodded after pondering for a while.
"Mr. Cameron, there is one thing you may have ignored, that is, although my popularity and influence were obtained from Western society, don't forget that I am a Chinese, a member of the Chinese nation, and a descendant of the dragon. From this perspective, I would like to express my love and support from the perspective of my own country and nation. Is it wrong?" Cameron is a very influential filmmaker in Hollywood, and a very good and iconic filmmaker. Therefore, Chen Kangjie hopes to completely convince him, and then use him to happen for himself and eliminate some misunderstandings.
"There is nothing wrong, nothing wrong." Cameron said truthfully.
"A French publication said before that I belong to the world, so I was welcomed all over the world. I saw his evaluation as an encouragement or kind praise. In Japan, to create songs in Japanese, in the United States, my music and movies are actually very strong in the United States. In the Olympics, I am representing my country. Don't you shoot the series of movies in "Harry Potter"? What angle do you think I am from in that story? When most people think the traverse is the first to be created, it is actually originated from Australia. People all over the world cannot and should not be required to always express or express it with a fixed mind or consciousness. As long as I think it is fun and good, I can't say that one day I will use music or movies to tell an African story, which all exists. As long as I think it is beautiful, I am willing to understand and learn, you are the same." Chen Kangjie patted Cameron's shoulder and said with emotion.
If Cameron had some doubts before, after these words, he was indeed completely convinced by Chen Kangjie.
Yes, Chen Kangjie is like a versatile star, and he can always achieve flawless identity transfer. The audience who watches "Forrest Gump" will definitely think that the director is an American, the readers who watch "Harry Potter" will definitely think that the author is an English, the singer is an Japanese, and the singer is an Arab when he listens "Holding in the palm of his hand" will definitely think that he is the descendant of the dragon.
He is so special and so good at transforming. Since that's the case, what's so strange about him shooting a "Heart of Dragon" from a new perspective?
"It seems that I'm really complicated to think. Movies are movies, as long as they look good."
"That's it, by the way, have you ever thought about shooting a movie with a Chinese theme?" Chen Kangjie asked by changing the subject.
"No, not yet, I am not as genius as you. So far, I think I still know nothing about Chinese culture and history. Without a deep understanding of history and culture, I cannot make a good movie. However, this time I visited the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, which aroused my interest. If I had the opportunity, I might make a movie with the theme of emperors, such as Qin Shihuang, Genghis Khan, etc. Of course, I can't do these things in a short period of time, so I have to strengthen my studies, haha."
