类型拓展、“工业美学”分层与“想象力消费”的广阔空间——论《流浪地球》的“电影工业美学”兼与《疯狂外星人》比较

Expansion of Types,Stratification of “Industrial Aesthetics” and the Vast Space of “Imagination Consumption”: on the “Film Industrial Aesthetics” of the Wandering Earth and the Comparison with Crazy Alien

《流浪地球》以其大场面、“重工业化”大制作,成就中国电影工业化的新高度,更以其大想象、大人类情怀和大宇宙格局成就其美学品格。《流浪地球》与《疯狂外星人》走中国科幻电影的两条路向,分别代表了不同的工业美学形态,也代表了中国科幻电影发展的两个方向。《疯狂外星人》呈一种“中度工业美学”走向,在“本土化”、现实性、“作者追求”、荒诞喜剧风格等方面为中国特色类型杂糅的科幻喜剧片探索做出了自己的贡献。它们都以当下新的电影“空间生产”之成果,在一定程度上满足了当下中国观众日益增长的“想象力消费”或“虚拟消费”的精神需求,有着重要的文化价值。

The Wandering Earth , with its grand image and “heavy industrialized” production, promoted Chinese film industry to a new height. It also has an aesthetic character because of its grand imagination, grand humanity feelings and grand universe pattern. The Wandering Earth and Crazy Alien represent two paths of Chinese science fiction film, as well as two kinds of industrial patterns and two directions of the development of Chinese science fiction films. Crazy Alien is a “medium industrial aesthetics”, and it contributes to the exploration of the mixed style of Chinese science fiction films in terms of “localization”, reality,“author pursuit”, and absurd comedy. They all use the achievements of current “space production” to suffice the increasing spiritual needs of Chinese audiences for “imagination consumption” or “virtual consumption” so that they have important cultural values.
