Chapter 233 The Differences Between Eastern and Western Cultures

In the Lin family, the one who loves this child Lin Zhijian the most is his aunt Lin Xiaoling.

This aunt felt like she had found a new toy, which made Feng Chengcheng very worried.

Fortunately, this kind of life did not last long. On June 23, Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng came to Shanghai, and there were many students who went to study in the United States.

Most of these people are graduates from Peking University and Tsinghua University. Peking University is famous for its liberal arts, while Tsinghua University is mostly science elites.

In this era, students who can study abroad are either talented or have family backgrounds.

With so many people walking with Lin Zixuan a little relieved.

As long as he can arrive in the United States, he has made many arrangements to ensure his sister's safety.

Through the years of getting along, he has accepted this family and his sister. Although he is a little reluctant, this is a must-see for a person to grow up.

Going abroad to take a look will broaden your horizons, which is better than marrying a strange man after graduating from girls' school.

The style of the Republic of China is gradually growing, and young people advocate free love. Lin Zixuan supports his sister to find his own happiness. As long as he is not a foreigner, he is not ready to have a foreign brother-in-law.

In this regard, he is conservative.

In later generations, many women wanted to marry foreigners and had foreign nationality, and Lin Zixuan did not agree with this.

From this we can see that conservatism is relative. He was considered a new type of person during the Republic of China period, but in later generations he was a standard conservative.

On the dock, Lin Zixuan sent his sister away and returned home, feeling a faint melancholy in his heart.

This feeling is called ties, and his ties in this world are getting deeper and deeper.

Ruan Lingyu had the same feeling. She felt even more lonely after seeing Lin Xiaoling off.

While missing Lin Xiaoling, she is also worried about her future.

In the girls' school, she is Lin Xiaoling's follower and plays with the girls' school students. With Lin Xiaoling covering her, naturally no one dares to bully her. But now she is very worried about her future life in girls' school.

There is cold campus violence in Chinese and Western girls' schools. Students are the daughters of major families in Shanghai. It is not uncommon to compete with each other and fight openly and secretly.

The family forces behind them are the basis for their survival in girls' schools. Although girls' schools are strictly managed, they cannot be absolutely prohibited.

Think about it, how could hundreds of girls live together all day long, and they could not have conflicts, and they would form cliques and isolate their opponents.

Although they will not fight or curse, the harm caused by contempt and indifference is sometimes more hurtful than beating and scolding, so students who can graduate from girls' school have a strong psychological endurance.

This is also the psychological quality they need to possess after entering society.

Lin Zixuan saw Ruan Lingyu sitting alone on a swing in the garden, and her figure was quite lonely.

He felt that Ruan Lingyu was actually a girl who likes to play very much, not the kind of tragic heroine she played in the movies in the future. When she was with Lin Xiaoling, the two would secretly run to the dance hall outside to dance. ■

I can also read some romance novels from the Mandarin duck butterfly school, and even learn to walk and talk like women in foreign movies.

Before Lin Xiaoling left, she asked him to take care of Ruan Lingyu.

Maybe she should find something to do, so she won’t feel lonely.

Lin Zixuan looked at Ruan Lingyu's appearance at this time and couldn't help but think of a movie.

As the war between the Jiangsu warlords and Zhejiang warlords is about to begin, more and more people are entering the concession. Although the factory business is affected, the entertainment industry is unexpectedly booming.

Especially in the film industry, the number of people who go to theaters to watch movies is increasing day by day.

This is actually easy to understand. These people who take refuge in the concession do nothing all day long, and listening to operas and watching movies is undoubtedly the best pastime.

The celebrity film company launched a new Journey to the West series, the second part of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was screened, and the "Orphans Saving the Ancestor" filmed by Zheng Zhengqiu were all successful.

Meng Xiaodong's reputation is at its peak. She vividly portrayed Huang Rong in the movie and became synonymous with Huang Rong.

The character Guo Jing is not outstanding in the movie, he is relatively dull and clumsy, and is far less popular than Huang Rong.

Perhaps because of knowing the relationship between Lin Zixuan and Meng Xiaodong, the director who filmed "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" naturally knew who should be inclined. As long as you give a few more positive close-ups, you can have unexpected results.

"Orphans Saving the Ancestor" written and directed by Zheng Zhengqiu uses child star Dan Erchun, which is a movie that reflects reality.

He believes that films should shoulder the mission of improving society and educating people's customs. Therefore, the films written by his screenwriters emphasize moral education, focus on practical issues, and pay attention to the connotation of society.

This type of movie is generally called social films.

This was the case when he was in the drama industry. Zhang Shichuan made money and Zheng Zhengqiu wanted to take into account both business and art, so he was naturally not a rival to Zhang Shichuan.

Lin Zixuan supports Zheng Zhengqiu. Anyway, he has many movies that can make money, so Zheng Zhengqiu is responsible for the good reputation of the film company.

He is not worried about the situation of celebrity film companies in the country, he is thinking about how to open up the European and American markets.

The screening of "The Great Trouble in Heaven" which he had high hopes in the United States was not a success.

The movie is very popular among Chinese Americans, but Americans just watch this story that is strange and doesn't understand much.

According to American custom, Lin Zixuan changed the title of the film to "A Monkey Challenges the Gods", but the contrast between the gods in the movie and the gods in the minds of Americans is too great that they cannot accept it.

The Chinese gods are too humane and are not very different from the human world, without a sense of mystery or fear.

The gods in the minds of Americans are angels with wings and Satan in hell. Neither of these will hold a banquet of peaches, but will reap people's souls. This is a mysterious and powerful god.

They do not think that the King of Hell, who was randomly bullied by a monkey, is the great devil of Satan, and the contrast is too great.

This is the difference between Eastern and Western cultures.

As for other movies from celebrity film companies, the effect is similar. Americans just watch Chinese movies with a curious attitude, but they have no sense of cultural identity.

Although he made a lot of dollars, he did not meet Lin Zixuan's expectations. He mainly wanted to spread Chinese culture.

According to lawyer Peterson, if the film wants to succeed in the United States, it must find the commonalities between the cultures of the two countries.

He specifically mentioned that the movie "Shanghai Holiday" is a good example. As an American, he can understand it and is deeply moved. This is a truly good movie.

Lin Zixuan was amused and crying about this.

"Shanghai Holiday" originally came from "Roman Holiday". It is a story written according to Americans' thinking habits. It can naturally be recognized by Americans. It seems that it still has to copy classic Western movies.

He is planning to open up the European and American film markets first, and then talk about spreading Chinese culture.

When he saw Ruan Lingyu's lonely appearance, he wanted to shoot a movie.
