Is Shanzhai Culture a Challenge to the Authority?

!: Is Shanzhai Culture a Challenge to the Authority?

"Shanzhai culture is a challenge to the authority."

With the rise of Shanzhai products, the monopolization on market has been well challenged. A number of years ago, the Chinese cell phone market were mostly dominated by NOKIA, SAMSUNG, MOTOROLA, and SONYERICSON. But now all this has changed.

According to an online survey, in the year 2007, the sale of the home made "Tianyu" cell phones has exceeded the sale of LG, SAMSUNG as well as MOTOROLA, which made these world famous manufacturers to reconsider their plans to fit for the fierce competition in the electronic products market. Shanzhai products in Xiushui Street, Beijing, are also welcomed by foreigners. If Shanzhai products could compete with the products in monopolization, they can urge the whole industry to take on a new look.

Shanzhai culture stood out as a strong competitor to CCTV Spring Festival Gala and met the psychological demands of common people and also could be a comfort to their minds. It has been complained for several years that the traditional CCTV Spring Festival Gala cost a large sum of money every year but fails to cater to the majority of audience each year.

Traditionally, in the New Year's Eve, the members of a family will sit in front of the TV to watch the program, but in recent years, people would like to watch the rebroadcast of this event, due to the always-the-same scale and boredom this program impressed the audience. Then Shanzhai Spring Festival Gala, with its full diversities, might be another choice for these people.

"Kung Fu Panda" - The Transmitter of Chinese Culture

!: "Kung Fu Panda" - The Transmitter of Chinese Culture

"Kung Fu Panda" which is filled with Chinese culture and Chinese elements travels throughout the world and use its Chinese elements to become popular among the world. From another aspect, it performs the role of the transmitter of Chinese culture and elements.

From the analysis above, many people will have such kind of feeling, the Chinese elements expressed in this film are the common things we often meet in our daily lives, the Chinese culture it shows is known to every Chinese people. But, how can these things which are originally ours are labeled with Hollywood brand and spread successfully throughout the world and welcomed received by all the people? "Kung Fu Panda" becomes successful, however, what lessons we can draw from this film?

When enjoying "Kung Fu Panda", I believe that most audience will have the illusion that this animation is made by Chinese directors, for the Chinese elements expressed in this film make Chinese people feel it is close to our daily lives and we even can't find an air of clumsy provincial imitation in this film. From there, we can see the foreigners have prepared a lot in the production of this film. According to understanding, the directors of "Kung Fu Panda" is nuts about the culture of China.

It takes him about ten years to research on the culture of China. Meanwhile, this film takes those five years to finish. During their five years, they come to live in China for a few days, and go to Li Jiang and Guilin these places of interest for a visit. They also have a study on so many Hong Kong made sword-play films in the period of 1970s to 1980s. These prepare and efforts reflect the producers obtain the quality of the rigorous attitude to learn Chinese culture and scientific methods to produce the film.

Comparing with the foreign directors, Chinese directors' speed of directing film seems more "instant" than the foreign directors. The block buster made in China need one or two years to finish. They all hold the view to promote Chinese culture and bring some Chinese traditional plays which is known to everyone for them to direct.
