Nandu News Reporter Liu Yifan On August 29, the 7th China Film New Power Forum was held in Changchun, Jilin.

On the forum, the well-known director Zhang Yimou posted a relevant message. He said: "We often say that movies are for young people. Young people are not talking about physical age but mental age. Our forum is called New Power. Let me briefly explain. How should work be done? Please correct me if I am wrong.

"I am also an example. I myself represented the new power of Chinese film decades ago. At that time, the country's reform and opening up gave us opportunities. Looking back, The film innovations at that time appealed to the spirit of the times. Chinese films had made great progress at that time, which was also the result of being consistent with the theme and spiritual power of the times. During the reform process of China's film industrialization, some of our explorations in film language were enthusiastically recognized by society and audiences, so this was an opportunity.

"When opportunities come, filmmakers must study and hone seriously, and tell the stories of the times in compliance with the needs of the times. Today we are in a new era, and the new era has new challenges and opportunities, as well as new changes and requirements. Everyone I have said a lot. I think all the film colleagues here know that it is not easy to make a good movie. Judging from the current universal standards, the quality of a good movie is not only reflected in art, not only in social aspects, but also in terms of social aspects. It must be reflected in the market.

"A movie must recover its costs and make a profit to form a virtuous cycle of industrial processes. That is to say, from a director's point of view, if your movie loses money or unfortunately continues to lose money, which company will Can I still invest money in you? If you cannot recoup your costs, your creation will not be able to continue. What is your next step? What is a director? To put it bluntly, the director's job is to use other people's money to complete his own ideas and then give others an explanation.

"How do you explain it if you lose money? There are very few examples in the world of directors spending their own money to make movies. If there are one or two examples of selling houses and cars, it will become a legend for decades, so the movie It is not only an art, but also an industry. We must adapt to the changes of the new era and tell Chinese stories well. In other words, this Chinese story is not only something you like, but also something that the people like, and everyone wants to volunteer. Buy a ticket to see it, so that the director will have more opportunities to create, and more young people will emerge, so that the waves behind the Yangtze River will push the waves ahead.

"Since movies are young art, they need young newcomers like you." Strength follows the times, seizes opportunities, and draws, learns, and tempers from life. We often say that the future is bright, but the road is tortuous. Everyone here is a new force in Chinese films. They all have missions and responsibilities to make Chinese films better and better, and to make the Chinese film industry better and better. So let us overcome difficulties together and study hard. Let us learn to make a good movie and learn to tell Chinese stories well. The key is to make a good movie and tell a good story, otherwise it will be useless. "

This forum is hosted by the Central Propaganda Film Bureau, hosted by the China Film Art Research Center, and co-organized by the Propaganda Department of the Jilin Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China (Jilin Provincial Film Bureau). The theme of this China Film New Power Forum is "Inheritance, Innovation, and Practicing - —Movies and Audiences Together”, more than 200 people from the industry participated.
