Abstract:
〖WTBZ]Huang Jianxin, Li An, Wang Jiawei and Wang Ying are four wellknown representative directors in the Chineselanguage film. A brief study or an outline of the works directed by them can discover that, during a long period of about 30 years from the early 1980s to the first 10 years of the 21st century, the Chineselanguage film underwent a process from the rise of ideological quest to the subsequent attenuation of this quest. Up to now, it has gone so far as to display an ideological crisis. The main background of the process is the fact that the modernization of the Chinese mainland, which takes the reform and openingup as the chief principle, is continuously deepening. At the same time, the entanglement of cold war mentality in the world are difficult to continue, and the worldwide financial crisis driven by the United States as well as its national overlord behaviors demonstrate a damage for American image, which are also not able to be neglected. The film Gimme Kudos (2004) directed by Huang Jianxin can be rated as one of the most landmarked or most symbolic works. He once showed a great concern for realistic life, and had the courage to probe into the serous problems of society and culture, thus putting up a strong sense of social responsibility and possessing the great ability of innovative consciousness and quest spirit. But now, in this film, he puts forward a false question, which doesn' t need answering or thinking. With this film, other films directed by Li An, Wang Jiawei, etc. are associated. Their works awake us to a sense of how those huge political backgrounds both at home and abroad are gone forever. From that on, people have being looking forward to the transformation of the Chineselanguage film from political thinking quest to academic thinking development.
