at the forum, new generation filmmakers including ma yuke, chen jianxi, li jiakai, zhang jiajia, yan fei, dong runnian, wurina, liu jiangjiang, wang zichuan, and long fei elaborated on their creative thoughts on topics such as "the audience appeal of genre films", "new comedies and new audiences", and "how to innovate film language".
director dong runnian believes that comedy films should not only be funny, but also reflect the issues that the audience cares about. comedy film creators should go deep into life and record what they find funny and interesting. for example, "the annual meeting can't stop!" took 3 to 5 years to make. many comedy plots are real things that happened in real life, which is of great help to the creation.
there is no premiere for "a small shop at the edge of the clouds" directed by zhang jiajia. the four character lines in the film are advanced together, which is called "unprecedented type" by everyone. he believes that the audio-visual language of the "post-00s" is more cultivated by online dramas and short videos, so only by developing new types belonging to the young people of the new era can the film industry have a new "golden age".
"innovation and tradition are not antonyms." director liu jiangjiang said that in his recent movie "safe entry and exit", the character modeling borrowed from the sheng, dan, jing, mo and chou in chinese opera. when sharing his ideas with the modeling teacher, he said that this was quite fresh. in fact, it is not new, as our ancestors had used it hundreds of years ago.
on the same day, senior practitioners such as zhang yimou, huang jianxin, yin hong, xu zheng, ran ping, and shu huan also expressed their wishes for the new force of chinese film based on their own work and practical experience.
screenwriter shu huan said that 30 or 40 years ago, a person could watch 10 or 20 stories a year, but now if you use your phone more frequently, you can watch dozens of stories a day. if movies are fragmented and made into short videos to cater to the audience, they will surely die. "when the audience watches a comedy movie, they look down on the person and feel superior to him for the first 70 minutes, and then they want to become him for the last 20 minutes. this is what i think a good comedy is, a story about growth and empathy."
director zhang yimou said that decades ago, he also represented the new force of chinese films. at that time, reform and opening up gave them opportunities. at that time, chinese films made great progress, which was also the result of being in line with the theme and spiritual power of the times. so when opportunities come, filmmakers must study and hone their skills seriously and hard, adapt to the needs of the times, and then tell new and good stories.
the event also included a review of the 10-year survey of chinese film audience satisfaction and the release of the new force film list. nearly 100 new force works that appeared at the forum will meet chinese audiences soon. (end)
