As a major component of Chinese cinema,mainstream blockbusters have gradually formed their own unique aesthetic style.In the past ten years,with the history of Chinese film development,the box office and word-of-mouth performances are among the top ten in the box office list,such as “The Assembly” “Bodyguards and Assassins” “Aftershock” “The Founding of a Republic” “Beginning Of The Great Revival” “The Founding of An Army” “The Taking of Tiger Mountain” “Operation Mekong,Mei Gong he xing dong” “Wolf Warriors?”.Mainstream blockbusters have formed these mainstream blockbuster aesthetics,such as audio-visual language aesthetics and narrative aesthetics.It is believed that the mainstream Chinese blockbusters in the past decade have broken the mainstream situation of the main melody films,commercial films and art films,and played an important role in carrying and conveying mainstream values and positively spreading mainstream culture.Mainstream movies cover social,human,cultural and other themes.Through the new way of telling heroism and collectivism,in order to gain the recognition of the audience,social progress is the driving force of personal actions.In order to obtain the recognition of the audience,social progress is the driving force of individual behavior,and human narrative has a certain modification effect on ideology.While pursuing the international market,the mainstream blockbusters pursue the expression of common values and construct different vivid and vivid characters in different cultural environments.In the aesthetic aspect of the mainstream large-scale audiovisual language,the scene focuses on the medium scene and the close-up,showing the emotional changes and psychological changes of the characters,and through the panorama to explain the background of the event.The color corresponds to the theme of the film,in order to better realize the profound expression of the theme,such as the war film is mainly black and white,and the disaster film is mainly cold color.In the use of light,the main light is smooth and side light.The smooth light is used to highlight the scene and the subject,and the subject elements in the picture are displayed.The side light is used to express the shape and texture of the object.In terms of narrative aesthetics,the mainstream blockbusters re-rewrite the relationship between individuals and beliefs through the rewriting of revolutionary history,presenting fragmented and legendary features in the narrative structure,visually presenting obvious characteristics of popularization and entertainment,with the help of wonders.Image enhancement narrative effect,starization,type hodgepodm become the main means of mainstream commercialization,set the twists and turns of the plot to create a suspenseful beauty.The box office receipts of mainstream blockbusters have been famous in the top ten list in the past decade.Some mainstream blockbusters have achieved great success both at the box office and in word of mouth,and even become a major cultural phenomenon of the year.Under the influence of commercial blockbusters and Hollywood blockbusters,the mainstream blockbuster pays more attention to the commercial packaging and operation of the film.Some films emphasize brand building,and the series of films fosters a fixed audience and develops and attracts potential audiences,such as "Three in the founding of the country","Ye Wen" series,"War Wolf" series.The mainstream blockbuster has gradually developed into an important pillar of the Chinese film industry,and it is increasingly able to compete with imported blockbusters.However,there are still some shortcomings in the mainstream blockbuster.First,it pays attention to the improvement of image technology and ignores the inherent logic of storytelling.There are some shortcomings in the narrative,and the story cannot withstand scrutiny.Second,the mainstream blockbuster has been obtained in the domestic market.Excellent achievements have even become an annual cultural phenomenon,but the cultural output ability of “going out” is still insufficient.“War Wolf 2” has achieved outstanding results in the domestic market but it is an example in the overseas market.The mainstream blockbuster wants to win internationally.To be recognized,we must strengthen our own construction.
