장양은 제6세대 감독 중에서 대표적인 상업영화 감독이면서, 동시에 가장 주선율적인 색채가 농후하다는 평가를 받는 감독이다. 그의 영화는 소시민의 애환과 삶을 다루면서 시종 온정어린 시선을 유지하고 있는 것이 특징이다. 가족애의 회복과 사랑의 추구 등 전통적인 가치관과 인간애에 대한 가치에 주제를 두고 있지만, 한편으로는 현대중국사회의 모순과 사회적 약자가 안고 있는 비루한 삶의 원인에 대해서는 외면한다는 지적을 받고 있기도 하다. 이러한 점에서 그의 영화는 상업적인 외피를 두르고 있지만, 집단주의를 옹호하고 발전된 현대 중국의 찬란한 장면만을 담아내는 주선율적인 요소를 내포하고 있다고 할 수 있다. 이에 본 논문은 장양의 영화에서 나타나는 상업성과 함께 상업영화에 내재된 주선율적인 요소를 탐색 하고 있다. 구체적으로는 그의 영화가 어떠한 주제와 서사구조를 가지고 있는지 알아보고, 그의 영화가 어떠한 방식으로 상업성과 주선율적인 요소를 담고 있는지 살펴보고 있다.

This study of modernism examines the antithesis between high art and mass culture, which Andreas Huyssen closely analyzed in After the Great Divide (1986). Calling this antithesis the divide, Huyssen elaborated the Adomo/Horkheimer version of this chasm. Suggesting the necessary relationship between "High Modernism" and mass culture, Huyssen marked a comer of modernism--that is to say, the avant-gardism-- that had a positive relationship to mass culture. Dealing with the formation of early modernism and its avant-gardism, first I explore how modernism fits into the commercialization of the industrialized society. Modernist works become the commodities in mass culture, even while modernist writers assume "relentless hostility" to the conversion of their works into "easily consumed products." Though the unearthing early modernism has many controversial facets and writers, I mainly focus on Eliot and Pound, briefly presenting the examples of H. D., Joyce, and Lawrence. As Pound declares, Eliot's The Waste Land was a landmark that manifested the justification of the movement of their modem experiment since 1900. Pound was deeply involved in the editing stage of The Waste Land as well as in the historical process of its publication. As Lawrence Rainey says, the price of The Waste Land was actually that of literary modernism. Along with the historical account of marketing modernist works, literary journals between 1900-1930 are also crucial, in that they were the important venues for modernist poetic experimentation and avant-gardism and of first to publish modernist writers' works. For instance, in 1917, the editors of The Little Review, the American avant-garde magazine, proclaimed that they would "make no compromise with the public taste." However, at the same time, by employing a prominent advertising agent, they adopted plans to market the magazine. This inconsistency can be also found in the marketing strategy of The Egoist, for the poet Richard Aldington even suggested hiring sandwich-board man to march around London advertising and selling copies of The Egoist. While Eliot's The Waste Land was a terminal result of modernist poetic experimentation and avant-gardism since 1900, his and Pound's marketing strategy of The Waste Land was also to follow its determined course as in other modernist writers'. Thus, the publication of The Waste Land inevitably records the canonization and commercialization of literary modernism, which were socially and historically constituted.
