Abstract:

Judged from the perspective of globalization, blockbusters, which tell stories in wide space and are characteristic with intercultural discourse, can best represent the film production scale, discourse strategies and the influence on cultural transmission of a country. In recent years, that some imported foreign blockbusters are highly appreciated has proved the cultural and artistic charm of blockbusters. Comparatively speaking, Chinese blockbusters lack the quality and experience to become international ones. In particular, they are deficient in the choice and management of story subject, the construction and organization of discourse pattern, and the arrangement and employment of discourse strategy. Especially in the aspect of narrative space, Chinese blockbusters are short in global vision and discourse strategy as well as in the artistic imagination of the present and the future. In the long run, Chinese blockbusters have to work hard on globalizing their discourse construction and deepening their universal meaning before becoming influential around the world. Blockbusters should think as blockbusters, combine artistic creation with the global cultural pattern, and devote themselves to the communication between China's national culture and the cultural needs of other nations.

Key words: global vision, Chinese and foreign blockbusters, narrative space, artistic feelings, discourse pattern
