论国产古装商业大片的成败得失

Successes and/or Failures of Chinese Blockbuster

盘点近年的国产商业大片令人喜忧参半。可喜之处是继2002年《英雄》诞生之后,经过电影工作者数年的不懈探索,2006年《夜宴》和《满城尽带黄金甲》等大片赢得空前高额的票房收益,既表征了其商业的成功和艺术的逐渐完善,又能指着中国商业电影的初步成熟;可忧之处则在于两片皆有忽视影片必须具备深刻的人文关怀意识,而将色情与暴力当成最大卖点之嫌。我们必须实事求是地分析评估其题材选择、立意构思以及摄影、构图、色彩、音乐等视听元素的成败得失,以为促进这一商业电影类型的继续成熟和良性发展提供有益的镜鉴。

We feel at the same time gratified and depressed while taking an inventory of recent Chinese blockbusters. What gratifies us lies in the fact that, since Hero came into being in 2002, The Banquet, Curse of the Golden Flower and other blockbusters, after four years＇ unremitting exploration of the movie - makers, have set high records of ticket sale, which not only represent the success of its business and the gradual improvement of its artistry but mark the initial mature of Chinese commercial movies. And what depresses us lies in the fact that the latter two are beth suspected to have ignored the necessary awareness of humanistic concern of the cinema and have taken sex and violence as the biggest selling - points. As a matter of fact, we must analyze and evaluate the successes and/or failures in terms of the selection of its themes, its conception＇s making- up and audio- visual elements such as shooting, composition, color, music in order to provide a beneficial model for the further maturity and sound development of this kind of commercial movies.
