Six Characteristics of Chinese Movie Posters

Posted under film, movie clips, movie poster, movie posters

Chinese discount movie posters belong to their own genre of movie posters. They not only are great representations and memorabilia items for quality Chinese movies, but they can also be viewed as remarkable works of art. When selecting a Chinese movie poster you will want to take a look at six characteristics that are common to this genre of movie posters.

Lettering

The first characteristic of Chinese movie posters that you will want to examine is its lettering. Good movie posters in this genre will have both lettering in Chinese characters and in English characters. The quality of the Chinese characters are going to influence the future value and the collectibility of the movie poster. The lettering needs to be clear, bold and properly formatted.

Color Choices

Another element of Chinese movie posters that you will want to evaluate when buying movie posters is the color palette that was selected. The color palette will usually include traditional color combinations of red, gold and black. The richness of hues of these traditional colors will impact the quality of the poster and the richness of the look of the poster. Deep and rich hues are preferable to lighter, washed out hues.

Chinese Symbols

The third element that you will want to look for in a great Chinese movie poster is Chinese symbolism. Chinese characters like dragons, water and fish all add a cultural element to the poster. While not all Chinese movie posters will have these elements, many will.

Popular Chinese Actors and Actresses

If you are starting a collection of Chinese movie posters then you can consider focusing your collection on specific Chinese actors or actresses. This focus will give your collection a uniqueness that will make it stand out from other people’s collections. If you are not familiar with popular actors and actresses from China you can conduct a little research for this genre of international films.

English Conversions

Another focus that your Chinese movie poster collection can have is a converted English movie poster. These posters will be similiar to those produced for American and European countries. The difference will be that they will contain both English titles and names and Chinese subtitles. These posters can be used to expand general movie posters into the international movie poster genre.

Chinese Artwork

If you are intrigued by Chinese artwork then you can focus on Chinese movie posters that feature artwork instead of photographs. These posters can include artist renderings of scenes from the film or they can include cartoon characters from the film. These posters are more rare and more difficult to find. However, if you keep them in good condition they do have the potential to become collectors items in the future.

Conclusion

Chinese movie posters are unique and fun to collect. They are infused with elements from various Chinese cultures and make a great addition to any art or movie poster collection. However, not all Chinese movie posters are created equal.

Survivor
http://riff-o-matic.com/riff-a-day/eye_of_the_tiger/06collection.jpg
is an American rock band formed in 1978. The band achieved its greatest success in the 1980s with its pop-rock sound, which garnered many charting singles, especially in the United States. The band is best known for its 1982 hit “Eye of the Tiger”, the theme song for the motion picture Rocky III (US #1). Singles like “Burning Heart” (US #2), “The Search Is Over” (#4 US), “High on You” (#8 US) and “I Can’t Hold Back (US #13) continued to chart in the mid-1980s.

The band tweaked its musical direction in 1988 with the release of the slightly heavier Too Hot to Sleep, but due to changes in the music industry and shift of popularity towards bands like Mötley Crüe and Poison, the album barely reached the Billboard 200 in the United States. Because of this, the band split. Singer Jimi Jamison later toured as “Survivor” in the mid-1990s, to the chagrin of the rest of the band. Jamison re-united with the band’s other members in 2000 and the band released Reach in 2006, but Jamison left the band after its release and was replaced by Robin McAuley. The band has continued to tour with McAuley into 2008.

“Eye of the Tiger” is a song performed by the American rock group Survivor, and is taken from the album of the same name. It was released on January 1st, 1982, and was written at the request of Sylvester Stallone for the film Rocky III. The original mix of the song, heard in the film, features tiger growls, though the single omits them.

Lyrics :

Risin’ up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I’m back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don’t lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

Chorus:
It’s the eye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he’s watchin’ us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin’ tough, stayin’ hungry
They stack the odds ’til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

chorus

Risin’ up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I’m not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive

chorus

The eye of the tiger (repeats out)…
