Thinking about what the topic is good, but the ambiguity of the "Chinese game in the eyes of foreigners" and the clumsy "foreigners in the eyes of the game in the Chinese world" are difficult to see, so simply refurbished a 90 's street tabloid the most common headlines ...
More than 20 years ago, China was a piece of red cloth wrapped around half the world, quite fresh to see the outside of the universe, will inevitably be disturbed, will inevitably care about the people outside the door to their views.
Therefore, "Foreigners in the eyes of China" became a few days after the headlines one, how many people from the article after the title to seek a brief comfort, slowly recover the lack of a century of national pride.
However, a country or a person, is always living for themselves, outsiders can not take the view of eating. But when others take these ideas to send rice, but also send very fragrant, our hearts how much not the taste. What I want to say today is the Chinese elements appearing in the European and American Games and movies, and some interesting phenomena in the design of these elements.
Subconscious Intentional
With the expansion of the Chinese market, now in the European and American films (given the piracy rate in China, the game is a little bit close), if not a bit of Chinese elements seem to be unable to sell.
After we watched more than 10 20 years of censored film, "Iron Man 3" the first time let the people know what is called "Add Version", although the addition of Chinese drama almost ruined the film, but at least it is "well-intentioned."
Of course, I still hope that this superfluous, grandstanding small trick is best not to use, we China has long been proved, a "large American" enough to earn over billion, do not need to walk the duck step of Fan Bingbing.
In these Chinese elements, if you pursue them carefully, you will find a lot of things that are mixed with ideology and the impression of the hundred years. We always think that the foreigners who love the pursuit of details, but often make a number of mistakes made us ridiculous.
For example, "Basic deduction Law" in a certain episode, Chinese actor Liu stood in a "snake", signed as "deodorant" in the Chinese murals before the very exultant to say.
If this error is because the director thinks that Western audiences can not recognize the Chinese at all, just to find a few words to write, and still belong to the production of rough, then some other Chinese elements of the design seems to be subconsciously intentional.
Let's take a look at BioWare's role play "The Emerald Empire", the IGN once gave its host version of the Chinese fantasy background game 9.9 is actually pretty good. The most criticized Chinese player is that the Chinese ancient background of the world is too far away from the reality, there is too much self assumption.
is not a pizza
First of all, "Jadeite Empire" background set in a full of "Jing Hai", "Liao Zhai Zhi Yi" and even the "Journey to the West," The color of the fantasy Chinese ancient world. This dynasty undoubtedly adopted the feudal emperor system and was undoubtedly filled with corrupt officials.
This design is full of China from ancient times to the West's original impression, eventually evolved into this seemingly bizarre, but have to accept the results.
Second, the world is full of ghosts, Fox and various Immortals, this design is fine, in absorbing the "Jing Hai", "Liao Zhai Zhi Yi" created after these magical elements do not look abrupt.
However, the other parts of the Emerald Empire, especially the Kung fu part, reflect Westerners ' traditional ideas about Kung Fu: for example, they can paralyze the enemy's acupoint and can knock over the enemy's iron ram.
Arguably, this design will make the Chinese players feel cordial, but the "Emerald Empire" is like a pizza pie, the elements of the single take out all right, indiscriminately mixed together is not the case.
Moreover, Zhang Ziyi, Michelle Yeoh, Bruce Lee "Reincarnation" of the protagonist, but also let the players feel that the game is the producers know all the Chinese elements are put in and then a stir. This kind of haphazard practice, although has certain research and the consideration, but compared with the real reality, still has the certain disparity.
In this year's widely awaited "Pacific Rim", Chinese fans are looking forward to China's debut in the sci-fi epic of human and alien machine armour, since the Chinese machine armour has been in the war.
A while ago, the Chinese machine a "red Typhoon" finally revealed the true face, the author in anticipation of the situation, or once again a small disappointment.
Ancient and modern, backward and savage
First of all, why do you have to bring a "red" in the name of any Chinese thing? Perhaps you can say that Chinese like red, or with our flag and ideology-but not nearly everything is called red xxx.
Then there is the cheap sense of the machine, which is the "new element" in recent years. With the proliferation of Chinese Shanzhai, it seems that the Chinese products in movies and games all have a "cheap", "poor quality" and "fast manufacturing" elements overnight.
It seems that the Chinese suddenly have the "super power" to make any product fast and then occupy the market by quantity-but it seems to be true.
Recently saw a very hot Korean film "New World", and found an interesting phenomenon, that is, compared with Europe and the United States, our neighbors to China's shape is worse.
It is reasonable to say that the closer we are to the country the more we should know more about China, but on the contrary, we see in the European and American films in China, although there is such a problem, but overall is consistent with the "old and modern" this description.
On the contrary, Korean dramas and some countries in Southeast Asia, China is often shabby, backward and even savage. The idea is very complex, with some self-awareness and a few strands of jealousy.
These Southeast Asian countries, not neighboring China is a little bit of friction with China, the specific situation of China is clearly seen, and difficult to tangle. To know, even the Chinese themselves, really want to refute the "celestial is a cottage," this assertion, but also to spend some consideration. In exchange for these outsiders, nature will only be able to elephant, to the nearest to see, contradictory and inaccurate feelings expressed.
If we add some negative attitude, then the eventual melting of some old and backward image, it is estimated that has been mercy.
carved into the creator's marrow in the celestial
I have always believed that works of art can best reflect the truth, because they seize, is always the most prominent impression of a country.
It's like the Victorian City of London will be under the fog, the Soviet Union will songs loud and sound, Africa will certainly be someone to jump belly dance, Chinese people will kung fu ...
China took off the old mysterious hat, but put on a "cottage", "environmental difference" and so on new hats. The idea of foreigners is a bit sweeping, but the Chinese "cottage" is indeed a high-speed rise, "first pollution after governance" is not groundless. Literary works always highlight impressions, whether they are outdated or exaggerated, and they do form a concept carved into the creator's marrow.
This carved into the creator of the Marrow of the Celestial kingdom, to be a little bit of fault, only a few are related to reality. But this "celestial", is the image which we give to the outsider, in the end it expresses, but it is a actually incomparable impression. From the reality, to outsiders to observe, and then created by outsiders, and finally exported to us, is a world: it is full of false appearance, but considering the role of ideology, and everywhere is close to reality.
Heard that "three body" is about to go out of the country, in China science Fiction received a century of "education" in the West, finally began to use their own works to influence the Western readers. Perhaps only in such a work can reflect the most authentic China.
Although, in the "Three bodies" there is also a "red revolution" description, but compared to let outsiders finger-pointing, I would like to be carefully described by their own people.
