Wang Jing, a famous Hong Kong director, has a unique style of works, ranging from classic works to criticized "bad films". However, in any case, his reputation in the Hong Kong entertainment industry has always been consistent and is loved by many artists. Recently, Wang Jing frankly expressed her views on movies in an interview and expressed her views on the current situation of mainland actors in overseas markets.
Wang Jing believes that for him, film is more of a business than a pure art. He admits that as long as the film can make money, as long as it is legal and compliant, he will make it. This frank attitude also makes people know more about him.
Wang Jing said that in the current China-Hong Kong co-production films, male stars from Hong Kong are usually chosen as male protagonists, while female stars in the mainland are used as female protagonists. And male stars in the mainland rarely have the opportunity to become leading actors. He believes that this is because the use of mainland male stars as starring roles will lead to the abandonment of overseas markets, which will affect the box office of the film.
Wang Jing mentioned that in recent years, although mainland traffic stars have been very popular in China, their influence in overseas markets is far less than that of Hong Kong's established stars. He believes that this is because many traffic stars, although they have good looks, lack real acting skills.
Salary and film quality: As salaries continue to rise, will it affect the quality of films? Does a high salary really bring high box office?
The future of Hong Kong-China co-productions: With the rise of the mainland film market, can Hong Kong-China co-productions continue to maintain their unique charm?
Film and Cultural Export: How to make Chinese films go abroad and become an international cultural export tool?
Wang Jing's view undoubtedly provides us with a new perspective on the current situation and future of the film industry. It is hoped that China's film industry can continue to progress, go international, and become a truly world-class blockbuster.
Wang Jing's candid views reveal some practical problems in the film industry, but in addition, there are many other aspects of the film industry that deserve our attention and discussion.
Film censorship has become a hot topic in countries in recent years. How can directors maintain their creative freedom and the artistic value of their films while complying with censorship regulations? This is a question worth pondering.
With the advancement of technology, the shooting and production technology of films is also constantly evolving. From 2D to 3D, and now to IMAX, 4DX, etc., the movie brings a more shocking viewing experience to the audience. But can these technologies really enhance the artistic value of films, or are they just a gimmick?
With the development of the Internet, movies and other media, such as television, online dramas, short videos, etc., began to merge. This fusion brings more creative possibilities to the film, but it also brings greater competitive pressure.
For the long-term development of the film industry, the cultivation of talents is particularly important. Each country has its own film school, which has trained a large number of talents for the film industry. But how to ensure that these talents can truly contribute to the film industry, not just pursue fame and fortune, is also a matter of concern.
The development of the film industry is not only a matter for directors and actors, but also a comprehensive embodiment of the entire society, culture and technology. Only when we look at movies from multiple perspectives can we truly understand its value and meaning.
