Chapter 536 "The New Condor" starts, the gaze from Ronger!

After the box office of "Partners in China" exceeded 100 million, director Peter Chan clearly pointed out in an interview: "Apart from box office, there is no other standard in the world that is more suitable for measuring a movie."

Judging from this, Peter Chan has indeed succeeded. The box office success of "Partners in China" shows his precise grasp of the mainland film market.

For a Hong Kong director, the risk of making a movie like "The Chinese Partner" is not small. It is a very local story, and the main actors in the film are all from the mainland.

Peter Chan almost tells this story as a lonely outsider, but judging from the viewing effect, there is no sense of "violation" in the whole film.

First, it shows that the mainland's economy and society are booming, and the aesthetic tastes of mainland audiences are becoming more and more "in line with overseas standards";

Secondly, it also shows the hard work of Chen Kexin himself. So many Hong Kong directors have gone north, but the Hong Kong directors who can produce works such as "The Chinese Partner" are in the limelight for a while.

However, while it has received high box office and good reputation from ordinary audiences, "Partners in China" has also encountered fierce criticism from some intellectuals and cultural figures - the focus of the controversy lies in the values ​​conveyed by the film.

Critics generally believe that "China Partners" tells a hypocritical inspirational story, using deceptive "success science" to whitewash reality and anesthetize the audience.

Such criticism is not unreasonable. From the main point of view, it can be said that "China Partners" is to establish a monument for "successful people". Although the characters have some shortcomings, overall they are positive and upward, in love and career.

Often presented as a victim, the only conflict was the dispute over the listing - which is obviously an understatement.

It is worth mentioning that in the 1990s when the protagonist in the film was showing off his talents, mainland humanistic intellectuals also started a big discussion about the "humanistic spirit", regarding issues such as market value, instrumental rationality, and money worship.

, have been discussed in depth.

"Partners in China" uses a campus poet to burn poems, cry bitterly, and cut off his long hair to represent the passing of the 1980s, which more or less hints at the complete change in the mentality of college students in the late 1980s.

Many people, like the three protagonists, gave up their idealism, went abroad or went into business, and their life's destiny changed accordingly.

The English title of the film is American Dreams in China. The so-called "American Dreams in China" subtly explains another meaning of the film:

The reason why the three protagonists can succeed in starting a business is that the core consumer demand is the "American Dream" of mainland college students. The three protagonists confront the United States for infringement of intellectual property rights. In the film, they are cleverly replaced by "questioning the ability of Chinese students"

The proposition is that the obvious lawbreaker has become a hero "bringing glory to the country", which paradoxically contains some kind of nationalistic meaning.

Although the movie "Partners in China" has received mixed reviews, overall, it still has more praise than criticism. On Douban, the score of "Partners in China" is as high as 7.9 points.

As the absolute leading actor in the movie "Partners in China", Cao Jun also aroused heated discussions among many netizens with his role as Cheng Dongqing in the movie.

"With a good foundation in academics + respectable diligence + good popularity + good resources, we have reason to believe that in ten years, Cao Jun will be the leading actor in mainland China, like Leonardo, who has been trained from a humble boy to an acting master.

, lose your vote in seconds for Chen Daoming and Wang Xueqi who exude a coffin-smelling drama style!"

"It's a very inspirational movie. The three leading actors are all very good, especially Cao Jun's acting skills, which are really getting better and better!"

"I like this movie. Three handsome guys compete on the same stage, and they reach new heights. Especially Cao Jun's performance as Cheng Dongqing is refreshing."

"I think Brother Jun no longer needs to prove anything. He needs good looks, good acting skills, good works, popular people, and box office. The only thing missing is the Best Actor trophy. I hope Brother Jun

This time I can win the Best Actor Award! It’s time!”

"I think Brother Jun is still young and he will get the Best Actor sooner or later. Therefore, I hope he won't get the Best Actor so quickly, for fear that he will stop filming after winning the Best Actor!"

"My thoughts are the same as yours. I also think Brother Jun shouldn't win the Best Actor Award too quickly. You see, after he won the Best Actor Grand Slam, he doesn't make many TV series now. He almost only makes movies."

"It's normal. Superstars are like this. Look at Andy Lau, Tony Leung, Chow Sing-chi, Chow Yun-fat and other big names. After they have established a foothold in the film industry, who will come out to make TV series?"

"That's right. International superstars like Cheng Long and Jet Li have never made a TV series in their lives. All they have made is movies!"

"..."

After reading the comments from netizens, Cao Jun is in a pretty happy mood, because most netizens' comments about him are relatively good and positive, with almost no bad comments.

For an actor, receiving praise and recognition from the audience is the happiest and happiest moment.

As the saying goes, a gold cup or a silver cup is not as good as the reputation of the common people.

In addition to the box office, what Cao Jun cares about most is the reputation of the film, as well as the love and recognition of the audience.

On May 22, Jin Yong's martial arts drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", produced by Century Pictures, directed by Jiang Jiajun and starring Li Xian and Li Yitong, officially started shooting at Hengdian Film and Television City.

In addition to the protagonists Li Xian, Li Yitong, Cheng Xiao, and Zhao Liying, Cao Jun, a producer, also came to the scene to promote "The New Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Miao Qiaowei, Heizi, Yin Xiaotian and other powerful actors who are familiar to the audience appeared at the opening ceremony. It is very exciting to have so many powerful actors at the scene.

"I announce that the new Legend of the Condor Heroes will officially launch today!"

Following Cao Jun's order, the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was officially launched in Hengdian Film and Television City.

The scene was filled with thunderous chants and firecrackers also sounded.

At the same time, Cao Jun also noticed that the heroine Li Yitong cast admiring glances at him from time to time.

Cao Jun was used to facing Li Yitong who was secretly flirting with him, because no matter which crew he went to, he could not avoid this situation.

In Cao Jun's view, although Li Yitong has a pure appearance, he has a pair of peach blossom eyes, like a crescent moon, and is full of electricity when he smiles.

Cao Jun is only in his early thirties. After all, he is not an eminent monk. Naturally, he cannot resist the girl's charming eyes. It is difficult for him to think differently.

Especially when he saw Li Yitong put on Huang Rong's costume at the scene, Cao Jun found it even more difficult to calm down. He thought to himself, isn't this the Ronger in his mind?

In order to prevent others from discovering his inner thoughts, Cao Jun pretended to be nothing and chatted and laughed with others.

The play is Jin Yong's classic IP. When interviewed by reporters, Cao Jun talked about this adaptation and believed that "the most important thing is to respect the spirit of the original work." He also said that "the prehistoric part of the play reflects Guo Jing's growth and must be filmed carefully."

”.

Cao Jun expressed the hope that through careful polishing, the spiritual connotation of the original work, which is scarce in the fast food era of the film and television industry, can be conveyed. He hopes that whether it is the righteousness of family and country or the simple and beautiful emotions in the play, it can help modern young people establish a "correct attitude".

The purpose of the view of history, view of life and view of love.
