Five outstanding young directors from the venture capital platform of the Beijing Film Festival project—— Yang Zi, Tian Li, Yu Qing, Gu Xiaogang, and Xu Lei reunited to talk about the gains and growth of venture capital from the Beijing Film Festival, discuss the only way to become a director, talk freely about the ideals of Chinese film, and prepare for innovation through innovation. The up-and-coming younger students teach the "unique secrets".
Yang Zi, who won the "Most Commercial Potential Award" at the 4th Beijing International Film Festival Film Market Project Venture Capital with the film project "Shout Mountain", is the "big brother" of the Beijing Film Festival Venture Capital and was also a guest of the day. Host. At the beginning of the dialogue, the first question he raised was how everyone embarked on the career path of directors. What's interesting is that everyone has a different starting point.
Tianli was born in the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy. He graduated from the postgraduate school at the beginning of the content development of online students. While participating in venture capital, he was preparing for the web drama "River God". His focus on creation enabled him to quickly seize the opportunity to stand out Yu Qing is a graduate of the Department of Drama and Literature.

Yang Zi mentioned that he had accumulated a certain amount of creative and practical experience before participating in venture capital, and he was also exploring and thinking in solitude, and then he brought his work to the venture capital platform. Verify whether your mind is persistent enough and whether it can support yourself to go on. The opportunities and conditions of the predecessors have inherent reference significance, but they cannot be copied directly. The venture capital platform gives everyone an equal opportunity to display their own works. He concluded that everyone has a different path to becoming a director. What the five directors have in common is to recognize their own path and shoot when they find the opportunity.
Tianli agrees with Yang Zi's "verification" point of view. He said that "Swap the Mandarin Duck" (the 6th Beijing International Film Festival Film Market Project Venture Capital "Special Award" project) is a work he has devoted himself to creating , He always had a desire to complete it, so when he saw the venture capital opportunity at the Beijing International Film Festival, even though he was busy preparing for web dramas, he did not hesitate to participate.
Tianli believes that the charm of art lies in the fact that there is no absolute right or wrong or good or bad. People's feelings about movies are subjective. But art has a golden line. When the creator crosses this line, for example, when he is recognized by professional reviewers or other industry insiders in venture capital, then he crosses the threshold of the film, this film above the gold line There is no distinction between good and bad works, only wide and narrow audiences. Tian Li further stated that it would be irresponsible for the director to talk about the film before reaching this line.
Yu Qing pointed out that venture capital is not the starting point of the director's career, but an "examination" to test the director's comprehensive quality and verify whether the director's preliminary preparations are in place. In this "examination" of venture capital, the script is the most important thing. The second is "tell &rdThe ability of quo; is one of the director’s core abilities. From implementation to shooting, the director must deal with various departments and clearly communicate their intentions to ensure that the team can work together to complete the work.
As a young director, Yu Qing also shared his work requirements: "One is to establish standards, and the other is to execute, and to talk about execution on the basis of establishing high standards."
Xu Lei shared, before joining venture capital. I don’t know many people in the film industry, and no one can guarantee whether he can gain anything through venture capital. Later, he found out that it was like a pony crossing the river, and he needed to really "walk" himself before he knew whether it was useful. For him, participating in venture capital at the Beijing International Film Festival is a "particularly good road". During the process of participating in venture capital, he "blind date" with the producer, met partners, and verified the audience's preferences.
Xu Lei also mentioned that he had dreamed of seeing Yu Zhi and the director. In the dream, he asked Hirokazu Kee: "How do you balance the ideological and commercial nature?" He got a rhetorical question from the dreamer: "Does anyone want to watch a movie without thinking?" According to Gu Xiaogang's description, he participated The process of venture capital investment for the Beijing International Film Festival project is like a blind date meeting or parent meeting, but the work is actually an insider or a child. The two parties in the negotiation set up terms with each other, and finally come together still need to rely on a special fate, which enables everyone to go into a "marriage" together and raise the "child" of the work together.
In 2018, "Spring River Plumbing" won the "special award" and received investment in the film market project venture capital of the 8th Beijing International Film Festival. This year, this film was selected as the "Official Recommendation" unit of the 10th Beijing International Film Festival. The opening film of the online film exhibition meets with the audience, realizing a film project in the North Film Festival infinitely close to the ideal completion. Gu Xiaogang looked forward with a torch: "The Spring River Plumbing has officially ended at the Beijing International Film Festival, and returning to Hangzhou is a new beginning."
