Anyone who is engaged in media, film, television, etc., or who has studied related majors will have a cognition, which is generally recognized by the college’s education, that is, national and worldly, and there is basically no debate on this point.

This statement is common, even if it is obtained in other countries and regions. But Wayne's sudden and surprising answer is equivalent to publicly denying the deep-rooted concepts in everyone's minds over the years.

If this sentence was said from others, it might be fine, but his identity was completely different. Especially when the movie "Batman: The Dark Knight" has firmly ranked first in the box office in film history, what he said will cause even more controversy.

"The more national it is, the more world it is."

The moment he decided to express his true thoughts, Wayne was ready to cause trouble for his remarks, but during the entire interview, just saying all kinds of clichés, everyone likes to listen to, obviously made him feel a little unwilling, so he decided to talk about the useful things at the end.

"I think that no matter which country or region, the film academy is taught in this way." Ignoring the host's slightly changing face, he also directly ignored the director's crazy gestures. Since he chose to speak, he must finish his point of view.

Even though he saw the red light on the camera start to flash and realized that he was in close-up status, he continued: "Even in the University of Southern California, where I once attended, the more national, the more world it is. Any movie with artistic connotation is first national, followed by artistic, and then with the universal human nature of human beings.

Only such movies can arouse strong resonance among audiences in different countries, ethnic groups and regions. I actually do not deny this, because my teacher once taught me this way. For example, Asia, which is closer to everyone, is famous for Takeshi Kitano, Abbas of Yin Lang, Hou Hsiao-hsien of Wanwan Province, and Lao To-zi on this land.

They have very similarities. It can be said that they all use their own nation’s rich cultural connotation, national destiny, national personality and national prospects to build their own film shots. They have also won the favor of the world film industry and enhanced their international director status.”

When he heard Wayne's denial at the beginning, he was narrated based on facts afterwards, Bai Wensa and the staff in the studio subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from the current situation, the host does not need to guide him to skip this topic. Even if this foreigner expresses his own opinions, he is very smart. If everything is based on facts, at least it is not unreasonable to deny the deep-rooted concepts of most people.

"Is this wrong?" Bai Wensa calmly took over the conversation and continued to ask: "Since you have received the same education and agree with this view, why do you say that the nation is not the world?"

"Note that there is another premise before my opinion was published, that is, my identity as a friend."

Nodding to the camera, Wayne's face disappeared seriously and a smile appeared. "Personally, I also agree with this view very much, but if I put it on today's topic, I will tell you that nationality has never been the world's. Of course, what I said is only about the film industry."

After pondering for a moment, he continued: "For a market that is still in its early stages of development, if you want to make great strides from the beginning, or even go international, you will definitely face this problem. Hollywood was like this back then, and the land is the same today.

From the perspective of a friend, I personally recommend developing the market with the modern film industry system as the main focus, but please note that I did not say that I completely abandon the traditional national culture. The main reason why Hollywood movies can be marketed globally is that they are inclusive and no one is holding on to the so-called tradition..."

"No, this is Chilolo's capitalist idea."

In a tube building in Beijing, a young man with small eyes and an old-fashioned appearance fell down his cup when he saw Wayne's statement on TV.

As a film director and a well-known film director, Lailai thinks that the foreigner on TV is still sensational like the event at the Film Academy. He even thinks that this foreigner is not kind enough to mislead the filmmaker here.

"Man, no, I said, what are you angry about?"

The young master who was sitting on the sofa watching TV reached out and pushed him, bent down and picked up a big teapot from the ground. "I think this foreigner said is quite interesting. Besides, he will leave in two days. If you don't like to listen, just take it as a pleasure."

"This guy is uneasy..."

"Hey, hey, hey, come on, even if you scold the streets at home, people can't hear it."

The young master shook his head, turned his head and ignored his friends around him, and continued to stare at the TV program that was about to end, watching it with great fun.

In the living room of another tube building in Beijing, Feng's pants with rotten teeth bared and smoked, he laughed at the TV, picked up the big tea jar on the coffee table, and ate a big gulp.

"Now I talk about some people's pain, haha, whoever hurts the pain will feel uncomfortable..."

Wayne's statement on TV is already quite polite. Overall, he is just focusing on the film industry, talking about how to learn the successful experience of Hollywood and how to make movies that people love to watch in a short period of time, which shows the importance of audiences' preferences. In fact, the ultimate goal is to quickly expand your local market.

However, when hearing the meaning of these words, some sensitive people feel different subtexts. It is not feasible to hold on to the so-called traditional national culture. Such films are of no use for the market-oriented development of films except for winning awards, and no audience likes to watch them.

Think about the so-called national films that won awards, deliberately expose national cultural habits, and go to the world with such delusion of ugliness. Is such films really useful for the development of marketization? Apart from those foreigners who are grinning at film festivals, can they be loved by the local public?

The same thing is completely different when it comes to the ears of people who leave the scene. This person is afraid of thinking too much and being told about the pain.

In the eyes of ordinary audiences, they all think that the foreigner on TV is quite down-to-earth and his ideas are sincere. Who doesn’t want to shoot the movies that everyone likes in their own country?

The TV show has come to an end, and the studio director is also scrambling. No one knows now. Wayne finally talked about the national topic in the movie, and would have received a lot of controversy afterwards, but at least from their perspective, what the foreigner said was not too out of line.

Apart from the introduction and ending of the beginning, this show was actually only in just over ten minutes. When the interview was officially over, Bai Wensa looked at Wayne beside her while sorting out the manuscripts on the table.

After hesitating for a while, he chose to stand up and move to the man who was helping to remove the recording equipment by the staff, and said politely: "Director Greenberg, can't the movies that express national culture really go to the world?"

"Hi, white."

Hearing the host's voice, Wayne raised his head in surprise and said with a smile: "I personally see this, how do you say it? This is like the difference between the food cultures of the East and the West. Except for a very special few people, most people cannot adapt to the other party's food."

The reason is very simple. You may also be treated as a taste of fresh food. Maybe you may think it is delicious, but if you let a person eat meat three meals a day, or if you let a North American cook rice every meal, it is not about enjoying the food, but about a horror movie scene.

Bai Wensa nodded deeply. As a senior media reporter and host, he has a very thorough understanding of this aspect. Diet is an indispensable part of his own national culture. Not to mention letting foreigners eat Chinese food for a long time, even Guangdong and Guangxi here have a lot of differences in dietary habits.

"So, my point of view is to retain national elements that can be accepted by most people in the world, such as kung fu." As he said that, Wayne also gestured with his hands a Bruce Lee's signature move. His performance made many staff members in the studio laugh.

"And then through continuous learning, reference, and adding the successful elements of modern commercial films, I personally think that this is the best way to keep national culture in line with the world. Of course, this is just my own opinion."

He didn't say these words on the official program just now. He talked about the film industry from a general perspective, and it would be fine no matter how he explained it, but if it involves specific methods, it would be another matter.

And one thing Wayne is very sure, that is, if you want to expand your film industry, you must embark on the path of commercialization. Don’t worry about anything overseas. The right way is to create a large number of movies that local movie fans love to watch.

Eastern culture itself has a completely different trough from the West, especially in movies, where the expression of some things is completely opposite.

For example, Zhou Xingxing's movie "God of Cookery", which won a box office of more than 40 million in Hong Kong in 1996. It can be said that it was so popular that it also made the comedy king who was silent because of "A Chinese Odyssey" immediately turn over after more than a year.

But many people don’t know that the movie was released in North America at the end of 1996, but the box office was only a pitiful few hundred thousand. The main contribution of this box office was the theaters around the Chinese community.

However, compared with the miserable North American box office, the fantastic ideas and expressions in the movie "God of Cookery" have successfully attracted the attention of many Hollywood filmmakers. On the 1997th, the 20th Century Fox also found Zhou Xingxing, hoping to produce the North American version of "God of Cookery".

It’s just a pity that there are still huge differences in food culture, and the cooperation between the two parties has not been achieved due to these differences.

The same difference is also "Infernal Affairs". Orientals cannot understand the American version of f**k, the rough and bloody scenes, and the absurd ending. Westerners cannot understand the so-called Chinese romance in the original movie.

Therefore, nationality is never the world's.
