, said Fu Ruoqing at the launch ceremony. In the current and future period of time, the tasks and challenges faced by Chinese filmmakers are still arduous. In this regard, he puts forward three goals. One is to focus on content creation, the other is to strengthen pioneering and innovation, and the third is to insist on collaborative progress. I am also confident in the film market: "Today, more than 8,500 theaters across the country have resumed work, and many heavyweight new films and blockbusters have been released in the near future. The film market is gradually picking up. With the joint efforts of Chinese filmmakers, the film industry has stabilized.

In Chen Daoming's eyes, Chinese filmmakers are like-minded people, because they have the pursuit of film, ideals and beliefs in this industry, as he said at the launch ceremony: " Filmmakers want to send a share of light and heat, and not forget the original aspiration of our film. This original aspiration is not simply the original aspiration of filmmakers, but also the original aspiration of being a Chinese."
Film people also said that 2020 is for China. A test for the film industry, but Chinese film practitioners are bound to rise to the challenge and meet the dangers. Chinese films have lofty ambitions, and Chinese filmmakers will live up to expectations and reach far beyond. Chinese filmmakers are standing at an unprecedented development node, and will more actively communicate and cooperate with filmmakers around the world, spread Chinese film culture, and lead the trend of the new era.
And the 10th Beijing International Film Festival will further rely on Beijing’s advantages, continue to help Chinese movies move forward, build a bridge between Chinese movies and world movies, and let the world understand Chinese stories and Chinese wisdom in movies. With the continuous optimization of the market environment, a more prosperous movie ecology is just around the corner.

Among them, classic films such as "Paradise Cinema", "Akira", and "The Matrix" trilogy were all robbed of tickets. Domestic masterpieces such as "The Moon in Hand" and "Mu Ling, Yi Ming, Wei Ming" are also very popular and sold out early, which shows that different types of films have strong audience support, and the tastes of movie fans are still very diverse. . The good news is that this year’s film festival made up for the pity of movie fans’ "slow hands", “Beijing Screening" unit has set up an online screening link for the first time.

The "Beijing Market" will give full play to the role of industry connection and linkage to help the film industry flourish. The "Beijing Market" is divided into five sections: investment exhibition, project venture capital, industry dialogue, special events, and signing ceremony.
