In this event, the organizer invited directors Yang Zi and Gu Xiaogang as special guests, while director Li An used remote video connection to communicate with everyone in the cloud.
In recent years, Ang Lee has successively launched two high-frame-rate movies, "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" and "Gemini Killer". In the international film industry, there has been a wave of technology.
Some people praised this as a "future movie", while others were not optimistic. But no matter what the outside voice is, he still insists on the exploration of high frame rate movies, and more than once frankly said in public that if the funds are okay, he still hopes to shoot high frame rate movies next.

Because of these two works, many people put "technical control" on Li Ang, but he said that he is not technical control, mobile phones can only make phone calls, nothing else meeting. Only after shooting movies with film for many years, after shooting "The Fantasy Drift of the Boy Pie", I felt that a change must be made.
"It’s the first time I made a digital movie. It was the first time I was exposed to three-dimensional. It felt terrible in the middle of the shooting. The beliefs I expressed suddenly collapsed. I don’t know how to make a movie. 3D is unfamiliar to me. 'Like a tiger drifting in the Pacific Ocean, I'm very scared. Everything I believe is in disillusionment. So every time I have to find a new piece of driftwood, I have to find a way to communicate with the audience. 3D and digital, human eyes When analyzing these images, the psychology will be different from before. What we are familiar with is the expression of the film era. Suddenly we have reached a new environment, crossing the river by feeling the stones. I think I am still in the learning stage. Hope you all follow me Similarly, find new ways of expression in new media." He said that the emergence of new technologies will inevitably have a new impact on film language, and new combinations and innovations must be made for technology and film. He said that "high frame rate" is not "high", this is the "normal frame rate".
Although he thought so in his heart, he also admitted that this change is also an impact on the entire film industry. "An arm can't twist a thigh. Innovation is not a matter of optical art and technology. It is a struggle with the entire industry and movie-watching culture. It is very difficult." Therefore, he also expressed a bit of sadness. He started to experiment with high frame rate movies. After that, I was actually hit a lot, but I couldn’t help it, "Because the movie is already like that in my mind now."

put aside his two recent works Still obsessed with his "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". He said that after reading the novel, he was deeply attracted by Yu Jiaolong, which prompted him to complete this project. "Later, I thought Li Mubai was like me, Yu Xiulian was like my wife, and Yu Jiaolong was like I wanted to do it. I have had a fantasy about martial arts since I was a child, and I have caught a very touching protagonist, so I really want to shoot it.” On the scene, Ang Li also talked about how he chose to adapt the novel. He admitted that there are certain differences in the length of novels and movies, so he is readingSometimes, I think about how to make a movie instead of just "translating". In this process, he will rely on his intuition to find the point that will most impress him, and this point may support his future script creation.
Now, 20 years have passed since this classic "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and the prequel about Li Mubai has become his favorite theme. But he said, "I hope to reproduce new things, and I also want to make martial arts movies. I have been thinking about the Li Mubai prequel on and off for ten years, but I still want to develop new themes and have more freedom." As for the follow-up of his new work , He said again that there are two works in preparation now. "A Chinese film and an English film, one is writing the script, the other is conceiving." Now, facing the current global environment, audiences are becoming more and more accustomed to watching movies at home. Ang Li said, “Filmmakers must think of new methods of filming and make a revolutionary reform.” Of course, he emphasized at the end that “the advantage of cinemas is a sense of collectiveness and ritual. We must give full play to our advantages, accept challenges, and create a new film.”
New things, I believe in cinemas."
