| Referring to Jing Wong and his film will appear two extreme views:one is declared his vulgar, vulgar or obscene movies, imitate from other works, no new, artistry more impossible. Another says his film funny, humorous, high box office, to seize the advantages, can be said to be contemporary examples of successful commercial film. Either support or against, it is not difficult to find that everyone acknowledged that Jing Wong comedy movies one characteristic:his film rarely filled with paternalistic lecturing. Instead it is a kind of typical entertainment spirit. Although Jing Wong works a lot and has a lot of classic, but he has never said he is a film director, instead, he said:as I am I, of course, is a businessman. Jing Wong once said in an interview "I made movies for many kinds of types, over the years, a lot of people say I am a commercial director, but I think a film is not commercial or art, as long as you want to live in battle, no matter how high is your film in the art of composition, required for support of business market you will be alive". Jing Wong said both art and commercial films, have to admit that a movie is need money, only don’t lose money to produce more work, so want to survive in the film industry, you must learn to obtain commercial interests. Hong Kong’s colonial gradually grow up business in the process of urban development, so the Hong Kong film inevitable zone with a very strong commercial nature, it can’t fully summarized as a kind of with business for the purpose of film form, but with a Hong Kong native culture, also can saying is with enough elements of Hong Kong. Commercial films are generally opposed to art film is a kind of film with commercial interests. In the early days of film development and most of the time, all the period of commercial movie is to occupy the mainstream status, In terms of modern industry, the Hong Kong film is no doubt that commercial society. Commercial film as a kind of mature type, there are a whole set of its own narrative strategies and market operation specification. Overall, tortuous bizarre story, and there are patterned star system and media hype, etc., is a commercial movie consistent strategy. Of course, there are a number of film artists, efforts to weaken the commercial films, by their own work and declaration, alienation commercial film. The nature of film has always been a hot topic, a prominent Hong Kong movie action choreographer, directed by Yuan He Ping has a profound understanding to this, he thought:"the film is a commodity. It is a kind of entertainment audience. The movie must be entertaining, for viewers like to watch, the boss also can make money. He will invest. Otherwise, he lost one, lost two, lost three, if each film are at a loss, then there is no one to invest in the film, only if audiences like to watch, the film can be to survive, so I always make the audience like to watch movies, no matter it is a martial arts films, comedy, romantic movies are the same." Especially the commercial nature of the Hong Kong Film, has significant influence in the history of Hong Kong film development, also can say, commercial movies is synonymous with Hong Kong cinema, to leave business this cultural context, the Hong Kong film don’t talk about, even if the Hong Kong film industry has a good artistic film makers. Jing Wong’s comedy movies pale on the humanities concern, Jing Wong will be hollowed, his humanism in the film completely leaving only funny clips, only to be successful. Chinese traditional films, however, always has a kind of social responsibility, is the so-called articles reflect the reality, carrying the traditional Chinese film need transfer education significance of positive energy, and professor Yu Ji stressed several times in class Zheng Zheng Qiu on the film of the conscience of the socialist ideas "in business, with a bit of conscience":on the one hand, advocates film of conscience, but called for both markets, Jing Wong’s comedy film is out of this position, completely conflict with traditional Chinese film, where Lu Xun once said, comedy is to make life tears worthless things to the people. Jing Wong, his movies don’t grab something of value, just get all kinds of useless patchwork of humor for a variety of joining together to finish his commercial work, this is Mr. Wong’s comedy movies. This paper is from the commercial value and the weak culture two aspects dialectical analysis of Jing Wong’s comedy movies, from Hong Kong movie business cultural context to before and after the transformation of Hong Kong movie market, local comedy director and director of Jing Wong from Hong Kong compared to the mainland comedy director and Jing Wong’s contrast, present a Jing Wang comedy strong commercial and hollowed out the state of humanity. |
