Chinese blockbusters garner more attention
One of the highlights of the seminar was a conversation about the great success of the Chinese blockbuster War Wolf Two, which achieved massive sales at the box office and was highly praised by the public.
"The great success of War Wolf Two is not accidental as it manages to capture the positive energy of the new era. The spirit of patriotism shown in the film has struck a resonant chord among moviegoers," said Zhou Xing, professor of media studies at Beijing Normal University.
"From Operation Mekong to War Wolf Two, Chinese-style heroism is storming into the hearts of movie fans. A qualified film not only offers a visual feast for viewers, but also inspires them to do something good for China and the world as a whole," said Hu Zhifeng, president of the School of Arts and Communication at Beijing Normal University.
Zhang A'li, president of the Shaanxi Film Producers Association, echoed this point of view.
"Movies sometimes are a presentation of a story. In the past, Hollywood producers and filmmakers are passionate about introducing Western stories to other countries, but now War Wolf Two tells a good Chinese story to the world, and it is positive sign." "It is hoped that more fine Chinese culture can be known to moviegoers worldwide in the future. Therefore, the film industry matters a lot to China."
"Wu Jing, director and actor for War Wolf Two, really impresses me a lot for his rigorousness in terms of work and meticulousness in terms of details. The state-of-the-art technology utilized in the film is rare in the domestic film productions. Also, Wu has lived with military troops for two years. We have to admit that his personal life experience gives impetus to the storyline, as we all know art comes from life," said film director Liang Ming.
