China Aims to Become ‘Strong Film Power’ Like U.S. by 2035

[Menthol]

I extremely rare watch Chinese movies.

So far, in my opinion Chinese movie is lack of good story, feel kinda cheap, and not well thought made.

2035, 15 years from now, I think there will be enough time to develop, as long as the team have a good leadership and high taste.

Yep, "china will never have the technology to threaten US supremacy", "china will never have supercomputer to even match 1/4 of the US", "china can only make cheap product, will never make high tech product"... on and on and on.... look at same stupid people who get owned over and over and over during the years followed after they made their prediction.

That's because you just didn't pick good Chinese movies to watch. Chinese movies routinely win big international film festival awards. You even admitted you don't watch Chinese movies a lot, so your sampling size don't even matter to begin with.

Sci-fi movie development in Iran

Sci-fi movie is a good indicator for any global superpower, especially when concerning one's future space achievements.

China has released its most successful sci-fi movie in the international market, 'The Wandering Earth', only this year in 2019, that is one year before the start of the construction of its space station.

The space station is expected to be completed after two years by 2022.

Related experiment preparing for 90 days in weightlessness have only started in November 2019.

▲ 1. China leads the way with the 2019 sci-fi movie 'The Wandering Earth' released one year before starting to build its space station!


Therefore, Iran will release its first sci-fi blockbuster only shortly prior to starting the construction of its own space station. Meaning when it becomes a global superpower.

And Iran will benefit from a good teacher in this field!

Iran can learn from China about sci-fi movies: Reza Mirkarimi

November 22, 2019

TEHRAN – Iranian director Reza Mirkarimi has said that his country can learn from China about making sci-fi and action movies.

He made the remarks during a question and answer panel held after a screening of his film “Castle of Dreams” at the Tsinghua University in Beijing on November 7, Global Times, an English-language Chinese daily, announced last Tuesday.

The film was also screened at the Beijing Film Academy at the same time.

“These genres in Iran are not mainstream. We don’t have enough capacity to achieve what we want,” Mirkarimi said.

“China and Iran are both in the East of the world. We have these common Eastern feelings. There are many Chinese film experts that I’d like to work with, as I’ve seen their works on the screens at international film festivals,” Mirkarimi added.

“Castle of Dreams” is about two young children, whose mother has just died and their father, Jalal, after long years of absence, returns to sort things out, but he does not want to take the children with him.

The film won three main honors at the 22nd Shanghai International Film Festival, including the Golden Goblet Award for the best film.

The film also brought Mirkarimi the best director award, and the film’s star, Hamed Behdad shared the award for best actor with Chang Feng, the Chinese actor of “The Return” by Qin Hailu.

Mirkarimi is currently considering shooting a family drama set in a small city in China and making an animated TV series for children, possibly about the Silk Road and cultural exchange with China.

To get a good story, you have to invent new idea. Nobody wants to watch the same thing forever. Because they can become a cliche.

The problem is fresh idea sometime cross the line. Something that ccp is not ready to face.

But we cant blame ccp censorship alone. Because theres always taiwan and hongkong which is outside ccp juridiction. But they also failed to create new blockbusters. So what wrong with our creativity?

Winning international festival award does not mean it will become everyone favorite. Indonesia also has a lot of winning buy they failed in the market

I'm not a fan of Chinese movies.

They have a different mindset.

And most of their movie is just focused on the teenager audience.

More patriotic films is the last thing China needs to woo foreign audiences.

China is never going to have the soft power of cultural attraction the US enjoys.

Forget the USA even countries like South Korea, Japan, India have more soft power than a country like China that just want to force its view on others.
