Guangzhou, China
I would say the same, at least the cities and coastal areas are like that. He said it was very developed, very beautiful, and completely different from what I thought.
I recommend him to watch "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog". After watching it, he felt incredible. He said that if it was really like in the movie, your Chinese countryside is beautiful and the Chinese people are very warm.
The beautiful Chinese countryside
I say, probably represents 70% of the Chinese people.
How to make a film, as long as it is within the legal scope, I think it is fine. I support the directors to have unique opinions. My only hope is that Chinese film and television do not participate in Western film festivals and win Western awards.
Once you want to participate in Western competitions and win Western prize money, you will subconsciously shoot according to Western requirements, accept their "artificial selection" (PUA), Westerners want to squint, you will shoot Squinting, Westerners want to see the Chinese as ignorant and backward, and you will photograph the Chinese as ignorant and backward.
The ancestor of the shepherd dog is a wolf. After generations of domestication, it has become a "tool dog" for human beings. For the benefit of the "master", it is actually very sad to fight for the life and death of its fellow wolf.
Westerners have been domesticating , the third world, , and some people often "voluntarily" accept their PUA for US dollars and green cards, becoming the "shepherd dog" of the West.
When are Westerners willing to treat us as equals, evaluate us objectively and fairly, and when is it worth communicating with them. ——Before this, I hope that we Chinese film and television people can stand to earn foreigners’ money, instead of distorting our image to cater to and please Westerners.
