Hong Jinbao and his son were interviewed in Cannes: using Chinese films to export Chinese culture
Samuel Hung interviewed
"At present, the Chinese film market is very prosperous. For a period of time, overseas films came to our market and exported their culture to us. I have always had a desire to make better films so that they can understand Chinese culture and let more audiences from different countries understand our culture." During the Cannes Film Festival, Hong Jinbao said in an interview with the media.
Samuel Hung hopesCreate more high-quality Chinese films to enter the international market
Hong Jinbao will also start a diversified cooperation with Tianying Media to create more high-quality Chinese films to enter the international market. As a generation of Chinese "kung fu guru", Hong Jinbao has been promoting Chinese martial arts as the core for more than 60 years. He has starred in classic action films such as "Enter the Dragon" and "Summer Lucky Star" one after another, and has served as the finger, director, and producer of many well-known films. At the moment when Chinese films are booming, Chinese films have accelerated the pace of going global, and the effect is not as ideal as expected. The Chinese way of storytelling is not understood by overseas audiences. We need to stand in the perspective of the world and develop new models.
When talking about Hong Tianming, Mr. Hong Jinbao introduced that at present, Hong Tianming is "full of wings" in his career and has his own ideas and plans. As the eldest son, although Hong Tianming has not "inherited his father’s business" and become a star, he has taken solid and powerful steps on the road of film. After opening the studio in early 2017, Hong Tianming admitted that he will participate in film production as a producer, producer, director and other positions, and looks forward to filming and starring in films with his father and family. Hong Jinbao is very supportive of this and looks forward to concocting more exciting works with his son.
