"Snow Leopard" is a puzzle of the world of light and shadow in the Tibetan language of Wanma Tseden
I have many stories and ideas in my heart, and I want to show a pure hometown. Director Wanma Tseden's original intention for embarking on his career as a director was pure, as simple as the origin of the creation of the movie "Snow Leopard" presented at the beginning of the special. A story about a snow leopard jumping into a herdsman's sheepfold, killing several sheep and then falling asleep in the sheepfold became a lingering obsession in Wanma Tseden's mind. This film combines reality and surreality, using living things to reflect the dilemma of mankind. While continuing the style of director Wanma Tseden's previous works, it also adds corresponding dramatic tension and plot conflicts, which is very exciting.
The director’s special features a special review of director Wanma Tseden’s 7 Tibetan-language films from 2005’s “The Silent Mani Stone” to 2020’s “Balloon”, which have won awards at multiple international film festivals. These films have witnessed Wanma Tseden has used unique narrative techniques and ultimate camera scheduling to carry the banner of the new wave of Tibetan-language films for more than ten years. He objectively presents the conflict between the snowy plateau beliefs and modern urban civilization on the screen. Through various audio-visual languages and images, he cleverly and unobtrusively allows the world to re-understand the snowy story. As the 8th Tibetan-language film directed by Wanma Tseden, the movie "Snow Leopard" is undoubtedly an important piece of the jigsaw puzzle in his Tibetan-language films. Through "Snow Leopard", we can get a glimpse of director Wanma Tseden's continuous breakthroughs in his creations to achieve greater success. The rich imagination and world view create a far-reaching, real and impurity-free light and shadow scene on the snowy plateau for the audience.
The story never ends,
Wanma Caidan strives for excellence to perfectly create a surreal context
Film creation itself is a long process, from script to shooting to post-production, it takes two to three years, which for me It's a very special time. Director Wanma Tseden treats his work with rigor, meticulousness and dedication. The special episode also focuses on the filming scene of the movie "Snow Leopard". Through these little-known behind-the-scenes content, we can see the subtle expressions of director Wanma Tseden for the actors. , a detail of drinking water, repeatedly emphasized and debugged, always putting creation first, and using real images to talk to the world. As he said, I don’t want to change reality, nor do I want to beautify reality. I hope to present the current situation of Tibetans, or the situation of language, to the audience. And his words and deeds also made the actor Xiong Ziqi who plays the photographer Wang Xu admire very much. Director Wanma requires a lot of long shots. We will rehearse very carefully. Sometimes a scene takes about ten minutes. (Wanma Caidan) requires a lot of long shots. Make sure it is the most accurate, authentic and best possible state.
In addition, in order for the audience to better distinguish between reality and surreality, under the leadership of director Wanma Caidan, the entire crew overcame many difficulties and, after waiting for the snow to no avail, directly moved the snow from 70 kilometers away. It was transported back to the shooting camp by car, and all the crew went to work artificially spreading snow to create the scene, and finally created a snow scene on the entire hillside during the shooting. Shooting in the snowy areas of the plateau has never been an easy task, but Wanma Tseden persisted for more than ten years, and it became a part of his life like breathing. At the end of the special episode, I face what if I can’t write a novel or make a movie? Director Wanma Tseden fell into deep thought for a long time. After an endless silence, he answered with a slight smile: Movies and novels belong to one's inner world. Life is the same, but it will not be so rich. Behind his calmness lies his deep attachment to creation and his inseparable love for the world of light and shadow.
