This introductory chapter employs the theoretical concept of Sino-enchantment to explore the cultural, political and ideological complexities, contradictions and complicities of contemporary Chinese fantastic films. The chapter briefly maps out the history of the fantastic in Chinese cinemas and locates the contemporary resurgence of the fantastic in that historical timeline. The theoretical exploration of Sino-enchantment emphasises the playfulness inherent in fantastic cinemas, which serves as a means for audiences to find re-enchantment in a modern, disenchanted world. Finally, the chapter threads the individual key points that the separate chapters articulate into a larger theoretical framework in order for readers to understand the key appeals that contemporary Chinese films make when they deploy the fantastic in newly reconfigured ways.
本导论章运用“中国魅力”的理论概念,探讨当代中国奇幻电影在文化、政治和意识形态上的复杂性、矛盾性和复杂性。这一章简要地描绘了中国电影中奇幻电影的历史,并在这一历史时间轴上定位了当代奇幻电影的复兴。对“中国魅力”的理论探索强调了奇幻电影中固有的游戏性,这是观众在一个现代的、祛魅的世界中寻找重新魅力的一种手段。最后,本章将各章所阐述的各个关键点串联到一个更大的理论框架中,以便读者理解当代中国电影在以新配置的方式部署奇幻时所产生的关键吸引力。

Domesticity, Sentimentality and Otherness: The Boundary of the Human in Monster Hunt 家庭性、多愁善感与他者性:《捉妖记》中人类的边界
Pub Date : 2021-06-30 DOI: 10.3366/edinburgh/9781474460842.003.0011

The 2015 Chinese box-office hit, Monster Hunt, in its appropriation of classical Chinese fantasy tales, raises questions about the differences between the human and its strange other. As a successful contemporary narrative that incorporates elements from both popular culture and Chinese classics, this film has much to tell about China in the new millennium. In what specific ways does a modern society try to reconnect with the imaginative world of early China, and to what extent are domesticity (family relationships) and sentimentality, or qing (personal feelings), identified in Chinese cinemas, applicable once again to these new-fangled monster films? This essay contends that the film’s assemblage of the strange and the miraculous as captured in traditional tales and the abnormal points to the haunting monstrosity of contemporary life.
2015年中国票房大片《捉妖记》改编自中国古典奇幻故事,提出了关于人类和奇怪的他者之间差异的问题。作为一部成功的当代叙事电影,它融合了流行文化和中国经典的元素,这部电影讲述了新千年的中国。现代社会试图以什么样的具体方式与早期中国的想象世界重新联系起来?在中国影院中,家庭生活(家庭关系)和感伤(个人感情)在多大程度上再次适用于这些新奇的怪物电影?本文认为,这部电影将传统故事中捕捉到的奇怪和奇迹与不正常的结合在一起,指出了当代生活中挥之不去的怪物。

The Sacred Spectacle: Subverting Scepticism in Tsui Hark’s Detective Dee Films 神圣的奇观:徐克狄仁杰电影中的颠覆怀疑主义
Pub Date : 2021-06-30 DOI: 10.3366/edinburgh/9781474460842.003.0009

Among the group of Hong Kong filmmakers who have transitioned into the mainland Chinese film industry, Tsui Hark brings years of experience depicting traditional Chinese beliefs and religion in films such as Green Snake and Zu: Warriors from the Magic Mountain, thus contributing significantly to mainland China’s new fantasy-friendly market. This chapter looks closely at the director’s three Detective Dee films to demonstrate how, through collage, the films’ visual and special effects (for example, the use of qinggong in traditional wuxia literature and films) subvert their own negative narrative framing of the supernatural and religion. This is preceded by a brief discussion of the history of the representation of the supernatural and religion in Chinese cinema, followed by a review of Tsui’s related oeuvre.
在进入中国大陆电影行业的香港电影人群体中,徐克带来了多年来在《青蛇》和《祖祖辈出》等电影中描绘中国传统信仰和宗教的经验,从而为中国大陆新的奇幻市场做出了重大贡献。本章将详细分析狄仁杰导演的三部《狄仁杰探案》,以展示影片的视觉效果和特效(例如,在传统武侠文学和电影中使用青功)是如何通过拼贴手法颠覆其自身对超自然和宗教的负面叙事框架的。在此之前,我们将简要讨论中国电影中超自然和宗教表现的历史,然后回顾徐克的相关作品。

Heroic Human Pixels: Mass Ornaments and Digital Multitudes in Zhang Yimou’s Spectacles 英雄像素:张艺谋眼镜中的大众装饰与数字大众
Pub Date : 2021-06-30 DOI: 10.3366/edinburgh/9781474460842.003.0002
Jason McGrath
This chapter considers how Zhang Yimou has reimagined traditional Chinese culture and history through the use of CGI in his blockbuster film Hero (Yingxiong, 2002) and his choreography in the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. It examines but refutes the accusation that he has pursued a totalitarian or fascist aesthetic by looking closely at how the ‘digital multitude’ is represented in the film and the ‘mass ornament’ is manifested in the Olympics ceremonies. Ultimately, the mass spectacles organised by Zhang tell us more about the ‘harmony’ of contemporary China with globalised capitalism than about either totalitarian aesthetics or nationalist propaganda, and they demonstrate the logic of digital labour in a globalised economy.
本章探讨张艺谋如何在他的大片《英雄》(2002年,英雄英雄)和2008年北京奥运会开幕式和闭幕式的舞蹈设计中,通过使用CGI重新想象中国传统文化和历史。影片仔细观察了“数字大众”在影片中的表现,以及奥运会开幕式上的“大众装饰”,驳斥了他追求极权主义或法西斯主义美学的指责。最终,Zhang组织的大规模活动告诉我们更多的是当代中国与全球化资本主义的“和谐”,而不是极权主义美学或民族主义宣传,它们展示了全球化经济中数字劳动的逻辑。

The Restrained Fantastic in Hou Hsiao-hsien’s The Assassin 侯孝贤《刺客聂隐娘》中克制的幻想
Pub Date : 2021-06-30 DOI: 10.3366/edinburgh/9781474460842.003.0005
Andrew Stuckey
The acclaimed Taiwanese director Hou Hsiao-hsien’s 2015 film, The Assassin, is adapted from a Tang Dynasty tale that is one of the first instances in Chinese literature to describe a swordswoman. If for films such as A Touch of Zen or Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon the ethical dilemmas particular to a woman in the underworld of martial arts rivers and lakes are navigated by means of the visual spectacle of bodies in flight and in fight, Hou’s heroine, Nie Yinniang, is quite different. She emerges victorious over her enemies, but they are not vanquished. She maintains her own moral standards but retreats into seclusion by the end of the film. Likewise, Hou’s camera is often at such a distance that fighting sequences are as much obscured as revealed in the film. Thus, Hou’s famed style of exceedingly slow narrative presentation comes into fruitful tension with the generic conventions emphasising the fantastic elements of martial arts film. This chapter examines the reduced status of these fantastic features of the film, the way that Hou’s style naturalises and, indeed, construes them as realistic components of the narrative, and how these seemingly oppositional tactics come together to inform Nie Yinniang’s moral stance.
广受赞誉的台湾导演侯孝贤2015年的电影《刺客聂隐娘》改编自一个唐代故事,这是中国文学中最早描写武侠的例子之一。如果说《侠客》或《卧虎藏龙》等电影是通过身体的飞行和战斗的视觉奇观来解决武术江湖中女性特有的道德困境,那么侯的女主人公聂隐娘则完全不同。她战胜了她的敌人,但他们并没有被征服。她保持着自己的道德标准,但在影片的最后却隐退了。同样的,侯孝贤的镜头经常在如此远的距离,以至于打斗场面在电影中被掩盖了。因此,侯逸凡著名的缓慢叙事呈现风格与强调武侠片奇妙元素的一般惯例形成了富有成效的张力。这一章考察了影片中这些奇异特征的地位的降低,侯的风格是如何将它们自然化的,实际上,是如何将它们解释为叙事的现实主义组成部分的,以及这些看似对立的策略是如何结合在一起,告诉聂隐娘的道德立场的。

Almost Wild, But Not Quite: The Indexical and the Fantastic Animal Other in China-Co-Produced (Eco)Cinema 近乎狂野,但不完全狂野:《指数》和《神奇动物Other》在中国的联合制作(生态)电影
Pub Date : 2021-06-30 DOI: 10.3366/edinburgh/9781474460842.003.0010
Yiman Wang
This chapter studies two recent Chinese co-productions, Born in China (2016) and Wolf Totem (2015), which foreground the construction of the indexical and the fantastic wildlife in the very process of renegotiating the parameters of Chinese cinema. Navigating multilayered boundaries between ethnicities, species, and media industries, I analyse how the two films construct and address the tension between and intertwinement of the indexical and the fantastic wildlife. I describe the films’ de-anthropocentric impulse, articulated through technological mediation, as almost wild, but not quite. More specifically, I argue that Wolf Totem features ‘cultivated wildness’, while Born in China depends on ‘intercepted wildness’. Both bespeak fantastic ecocinematic consciousness without carrying it to full fruition.
本章研究了两部近期的中国合拍片,《我们诞生在中国》(2016)和《狼图腾》(2015),它们在重新谈判中国电影的参数的过程中,突出了指数和梦幻野生动物的构建。在种族、物种和媒体行业之间的多层次界限中,我分析了这两部电影是如何构建和解决指数野生动物和神奇野生动物之间的紧张关系和相互交织的。我把电影中通过技术中介表达出来的去人类中心主义冲动描述为近乎狂野,但又不完全狂野。更具体地说,我认为《狼图腾》的特点是“培养的野性”,而《我们诞生在中国》则是“截获的野性”。两者都是幻想的生态电影意识,却没有实现它。

Coda: Sino-Enchantment in a Time of Crisis 结束语:危机时期的中国魅力
Pub Date : 2021-06-30 DOI: 10.3366/edinburgh/9781474460842.003.0013
K. Chan, Andrew Stuckey
In the coda that concludes this volume, the book’s editors confront COVID-19 as a global phenomenon that forces into view cultural anxieties about critical work on fantastic Chinese cinema. The key question the pandemic raises is not just the significance of studying the fantastic as a cinematic form but also how one’s understanding of the fantastic, especially as seen through the theory of Sino-enchantment, can help reconceptualize the understanding of life on this shared planet, as one is ‘re-enchanted anew’ toward the hope of better days to come.
在本卷的结束语中,本书的编辑将COVID-19视为一种全球现象,迫使人们审视对中国奇幻电影的批评工作的文化焦虑。这场大流行提出的关键问题不仅是将奇幻小说作为一种电影形式进行研究的重要性,而且还在于,当人们对美好未来的希望“重新着迷”时,人们对奇幻小说的理解,特别是通过“中国魅力”理论所看到的,如何有助于重新定义对这个共同星球上生活的理解。

Tracing the Science Fiction Genre in Hong Kong Cinema 追溯香港电影的科幻类型
Pub Date : 2021-06-30 DOI: 10.3366/edinburgh/9781474460842.003.0007
T. Cunliffe
This chapter traces the sporadic historical development of the science fiction genre in Hong Kong cinema and analyses several films made in Hong Kong since 1979, which adopt science fiction elements to negotiate cultural and ideological anxieties related to modernity, coloniality and Chinese nationalism. The films analysed in this chapter blend science fiction motifs, iconography and narratives with other local genres such as wuxia, kung fu, comedy and the undercover cop/agent thriller. This mixing of genres foregrounds Hong Kong cinema’s particular ideological perspective, which sometimes undermines, challenges or embraces the conventions of the science fiction genre. In this experimental stage from the late-1970s to the 1980s, Hong Kong science fiction films reveal the locus of Hong Kong cinema as one that shuttles between the local, national and global, both resisting and welcoming the modernity that the imagination of science fiction offers. This negotiation is a reaction to Hong Kong’s position in-between Chinese nationalism and British colonialism.
本章追溯了香港电影中科幻类型的零星历史发展,并分析了1979年以来香港制作的几部电影,这些电影采用科幻元素来谈判与现代性、殖民主义和中国民族主义有关的文化和意识形态焦虑。本章分析的电影融合了科幻主题、图像和叙事,以及其他本土类型,如武侠、功夫、喜剧和卧底警察/特工惊悚片。这种类型的混合凸显了香港电影独特的意识形态视角,有时会破坏、挑战或拥抱科幻类型的传统。在1970年代末至1980年代的这个实验阶段,香港科幻电影揭示了香港电影在本地、国家和全球之间穿梭的轨迹,既抵制又欢迎科幻想象力所带来的现代性。这次谈判是对香港处于中国民族主义和英国殖民主义之间地位的回应。

An Auteurist Journey through the Fantastic Mode: A Case Study of Ho Meng-hua 怪诞模式的导演之旅——以何梦华为例
Pub Date : 2021-06-30 DOI: 10.3366/edinburgh/9781474460842.003.0006
S. Chao
This chapter uses Hong Kong commercial filmmaker Ho Meng-hua and his fantastic work to address three main lines of inquiry: the articulations of the fantastic mode across different genres, the kinds of mise-en-scène of desire facilitated by the public forms of generic conventions, and the sorts of preferred subject positions animated by different kinds of mise-en-scène of desire in question. Along with the particular manoeuvre of the fantastic mode across three key genres (fantasy adventure, martial arts and horror genres), coupled with a changing formulation of the fantastic’s double appeal to what the author terms ‘fantastic impossibility’ and ‘spectacular probability’, this chapter comes to the conclusion that Ho Meng-hua’s career at Shaws studio during the 1960s and 1970s reflected the way the Hong Kong people negotiated their distinct subjectivity in a transnational framework, which is the socio-political significance of the fantastic mode in its Hong Kong articulation.
本章使用香港商业电影导演何梦华和他的奇幻作品来阐述三条主要的探究路线:不同类型的奇幻模式的表达,由一般惯例的公共形式促成的欲望场景的类型,以及由不同类型的欲望场景所激发的首选主体位置。随着奇幻模式在三种主要类型(奇幻冒险、武侠和恐怖类型)中的特殊运用,加上奇幻的双重吸引力(作者称之为“奇妙的不可能”和“惊人的可能性”)的变化,本章得出结论,何梦华在20世纪60年代和70年代在邵氏工作室的职业生涯反映了香港人在跨国框架下谈判其独特主人性的方式。这就是奇幻模式在香港的社会政治意义。

This chapter offers a case study of Zhang Yimou’s film The Great Wall (2017) and the way it became emblematic of debates around co-productions between China and other filmmaking nations, especially the USA. Principally, it analyses the way visual effects are used to present fantastic imagery that shapes the visual identity of the film through a blend of Chinese and Hollywood conventions. A burgeoning visual effects industry in Chinese cinema, sustained by a wider interest in fantasy films, consumer electronics and the international marketability of visual spectacle, serves as a site of contest and cooperation, where national and cultural symbols are rendered with a combination of state-of-the-art technology and quasi-ancient designs. The production histories of The Great Wall, and the critical discourses accompanying its reception, illustrate how visual effects give visual form to the material infrastructure of film, inflected by the cultural contexts in which they are made, even as they work to efface and conceal the traces of their own manufacture.
本章提供了张艺谋电影《长城》(2017)的案例研究,以及它如何成为中国与其他电影制作国家(尤其是美国)之间关于合拍片的辩论的象征。主要分析了视觉效果如何通过融合中国和好莱坞的传统来呈现奇幻的画面,塑造了电影的视觉形象。由于对奇幻电影、消费电子产品和视觉奇观的国际市场吸引力的更广泛兴趣,中国电影中的视觉特效行业蓬勃发展,成为竞争与合作的场所,在这里,国家和文化符号通过最先进的技术和准古老的设计相结合来呈现。《长城》的制作历史,以及伴随其接受的批评性话语,说明了视觉效果如何给电影的物质基础结构赋予视觉形式,这些基础结构受到制作它们的文化背景的影响,即使它们在努力抹去和隐藏它们自己制造的痕迹。
