The counterattack of the outdated star started from the divorce variety show

Chapter 261 Nonsense
"Honestly speaking, although the current Chinese market is attractive, it is more difficult to grasp than before. Chinese audiences seem to prefer film and television dramas with local cultural connotations. In the past, we internally evaluated ordinary movies, which were surprising in China. The box office of China is a big hit, but now we carefully prepare and take more initiative to cater to China's blockbusters, but the box office is often far lower than expected. Your domestic market is even more open than before, and the so-called "movie protection month" is basically closed. Opening the restrictions... What a ghost!"

Jackson, who was obsessed with wearing a suit to attend the party, was extremely obese, with a sunken nose and a pair of small round eyes, which looked quite funny under the fat on his face, but his lips were very thin, probably Because I like to talk endlessly, I don't want to stop for a moment.

Li Che had never met such a long-winded person, and he didn't know how Wei Chu survived nearly ten years under his command.

But Li Che still listened to his ramblings with a smile, because Jackson might rise up to become the CEO of Universal Pictures at any time, and become the head of one of the five major film and television companies that ruled Hollywood.

And Jackson's talk was pretty funny.

It's not that the content of the words is interesting, but his accent, the end of each sentence is quite playful, and the speech is fast but not inaudible.

The flow is smooth, the rhythm is good, and he likes to rhyme occasionally. I guess he was a rapper who trained hard when he was young.

"In fact, if Hollywood still sticks to the production philosophy of the past, maybe Chinese audiences will still like it."

Li Che shrugged.

Li Che's oral English is very proficient. He and Jiang Yi had worked hard on the English movie lines. After all, it would be weird to speak the translated lines.

Translation basically belongs to re-creation.

"Hahahaha, I think so too."

When Jackson laughed, his whole body felt like the earth was shaking, but the laughter was very thin, so the lethality was average, but the pollution was extremely high.

Li Che's own subtext is first of all the growing political correctness in the American and European literary and art circles.

Not only the Oscars are deliberately sought after, but the mainstream commercial blockbusters of all companies must also have the correct elements.

Black people, women's rights, and homosexuality, the three mainstream demands for political correctness brought a lot of voices in the name of respecting diversity, which brought too many constraints to the creation of film and television works.

Without these political correctness, there will be all kinds of criticism, opinion leaders, online boycotts, actor strikes, and even demonstrations. The continuous troubles will make the film and television dramas without political correctness wear disrespect, arrogance, and discrimination. The hat has become a heinous "evil symbol".

This requirement naturally violates the original intention of film and television creation.

If the cultural propaganda attributes of film and television works are emphasized separately and let it advocate correct values, the logic of creation cannot be ignored because of this.

Even European medieval court historical dramas can forcibly include black people, and it is not correct that the main actors do not have black people.

A group of white people love a black man to death, and most viewers will doubt their IQ when watching such a film and television drama.

In addition to affecting the logic of creation, political correctness also caused the collapse of aesthetics.

The last batch of European and American international superstars and goddesses with outstanding looks became popular ten years ago. In the past ten years, there are only a handful of Hollywood superstars who have become popular in the world and have a wide influence in the world. Today's Hollywood is almost Being pretty is a sin.

Skin color and authenticity, no matter how self-deceiving they are touted, will not make the audience really think that it is beauty in their hearts.

Most audiences like the most superficial beauty, the ugly and the inner beauty, and the beautiful and inner beauty, and the audience will definitely choose the latter.

This kind of aesthetics does not only refer to the appearance, but also to acting skills.

In today's Hollywood, when stars are vying for roles, acting skills are really not that important, the buffs on their bodies are the first.

As for the newcomers competing for the Oscars, they are basically the "princesses" and "princess" that the major companies have chosen to make films for them to compete for the awards, in order to create momentum for the final award.

Artists with good acting skills want to mix up their status, which requires far more effort than in the past.

Nowadays, the works produced by Hollywood, except for one or two top-level commercial films every year, the rest of the works are basically films and television dramas with logical and aesthetic problems. For audiences outside the United States, if there are other film and television dramas to watch , such as Huaxia, how much Hollywood value transmission can it accept?
Some people attribute the gradual decline of the influence of European and American film and television dramas to the fact that special effects blockbusters and IP comics have squeezed the market space of other works, but Li Che does not think so.

Li Che's second subtext is Hollywood's so-called efforts to cater to the Chinese market, and it really is better not to do it.

Taking their own stereotypes of China and forcibly fitting them into Hollywood's value system, they think they are pandering, but in the eyes of the Chinese people, it is more like an insult.

It is almost difficult for Hollywood practitioners to correct this kind of arrogance that they can't even achieve basic respect and want to be accepted by others.

So it's better to stick to the past concept.

Many Chinese audiences are annoyed by political correctness, but many people still agree with the universal values ​​of democracy and freedom in the past.

Jackson laughed and agreed mainly with Li Che's first meaning, although he is now preparing to play the politically correct card, planning to pull down the current CEO of Universal Pictures.

Although the host of this party, the international superstar is also black.

Everyone tacitly complained together, and the conversation was naturally enjoyable.

However, complaints are complaints, and what you really have to do should be done according to the existing rules.

"Tony talked about you when he met me last year. He told me that when looking at the Chinese market, he must put you first. If Universal wants to succeed in the Chinese market, you may He is the best partner. His evaluation was beyond my expectation, because the people he said this twice before ended up with scandals and lawsuits every day. So I am too curious about you."

Jackson said a lot of things half-jokingly again.

Tony is Wei Chu's English name. Li Che didn't know about it in China. After hearing it in America, what should he say...

It seems to suit his temperament quite well.

As for Jackson's words, what Wei Chu told Li Che in advance was that all remarks can be taken as random fabrications, and Jackson's words are only true if they are signed and stamped on the contract.

So he was making meaningless one-liners again, thinking he was humorous.

He was just making fun of Li Che.
