"Nezha" went to the Oscars to run, looking back at the road to the Olympics, full of Chinese martial arts dreams

has recently been popular all summer, "Nezha: The Devil's Birth" has once again become the focus of everyone. According to reports, "Nezha" will be selected as the "Best International Film" Award for this year’s Oscar in Mainland China (previous recent foreign language film) )s work. This makes many people pay attention to the impact of Chinese films on the Oscars again.

In the history of Chinese film, our films are very popular among the three major European film festivals, including "Farewell My Concubine", "Red Sorghum", "The Good Man in Three Gorges" and other films have been discounted in the three major European film festivals. Gui. But for the Oscars, apart from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Chinese films have repeatedly failed to hit, and the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not a selected work from the mainland. There has not been an Oscar in mainland China movies.

​​Among all the Chinese films that are nominated for Oscars, in addition to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", which has won an award, six other films have been nominated. Among them, Li An and Zhang Yimou each have three nominations, and Chen Kaige has one nomination. In the early days of Chong'ao, the selection of Chinese films tended to be biased towards realist themes, which was also due to the influence of three major film festivals in the early years. Zhang Yimou’s "Raise the Red Lantern" and "Judou", Ang Lee's "Diet and Man", "Wedding Banquet" and Chen Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" were nominated for Oscar for Best Foreign Language in the early 1990s. The film was unsuccessful.

After winning the award for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", many directors discovered that perhaps martial arts, the most Chinese element, is the most suitable for us. In the following years, most of the Chinese Chong'ao films will adopt the form of martial arts films. Among them, "Hero" successfully won the Oscar nomination for best foreign language film, and "Ambush on Ten Sides" and other films have also been recognized by many judges.

Actually, it has been a long time since Chinese films used martial arts films to hit awards. The first Chinese film to win awards at the three major European film festivals was the master Hu Jinquan’s masterpiece "Xia Nv". Although it missed the Golden Palm, "Xia Nv" won It won the highest comprehensive technology award at the Cannes Film Festival that year.

The martial arts culture is more confident, calm, and free than the western knight culture. This is the cultural core nurtured by Chinese history. As early as in Sima Qian’s "Historical Records", "The Biography of the Ranger" was written, and the article wrote "The words must be believed, the actions must be fruitful, the promises must be sincere, not loving his body, and going to the plight of scholars... Yes, but not against its virtue." Such a quality has been passed down to future generations. In the last century, with the prosperity of the new school of martial arts novels, there was a wave of martial arts craze. This also allows the concept of martial arts to penetrate the hearts of Chinese people.

Now the subject of martial arts has surpassed the carrier of novels. For example, there are various martial arts dramas in film and television dramas, the new games "Dream World", "Dream World 3D" and other games featuring martial arts themes, as well as various animations. Various forms have allowed the spirit of martial arts to continue to be passed on.
