The Reaffirmation and Expansion of New Mainstream Cinema:A Case Study of Creation of The Gods Ⅰ:Kingdom of Storms
The historical inertia between New Mainstream Cinema and Main Melody films has fostered a ten-dency to equate New Mainstream Cinema with 'revolutionary historical themes' or 'significant national subjects.' However,this trend restricts the creative space of New Mainstream Cinema at a practical level,while also im-posing theoretical limitations,particularly by overlooking the profound relationship between traditional culture and New Mainstream Cinema. This paper uses Creation of the Gods Ⅰ:Kingdom of Storms as a case study to 'reconceptualize' the boundaries and possibilities of New Mainstream Cinema.
