Exploring the Industrialization of Chinese Films Don’t hesitate because the road is far away
Wu Ershan
Over the past decade, film workers have made unremitting efforts in exploring themes, and director Wu Ershan is one of the representatives. For ten years, he has been pursuing how to integrate visual feast with profound stories and the wisdom of Eastern philosophy.From " Painted Skin " and "Searching for the Dragon" to "Fengshen Part 1" and the currently being screened "Under the Stranger", these works convey to audiences around the world with sophisticated production and fascinating Chinese stories. It reflects the vitality and charm of the booming Chinese film industry.
What exactly is Chinese film industrialization? In the exploration and practice of film creation in the past ten years, Wu Ershan summarized four points: the expansion of Chinese film genres, the contemporary expression of Chinese traditional culture, the application of high and new technologies, and the training of new actors.
Last summer, "Fengshen Part 1" became a phenomenon-level movie. The film started in 2014. "At that time, after a series of inspections, studies, and research, we decided to use the creative method of the mythical epic genre to retell China's most classic literary works." Wu Ershan said that this decision was a bit risky at the time. But in the end, after nearly five years of script adaptation and creation, more than two years of preliminary preparations, 18 months of continuous shooting, and more than three years of post-production visual effects work, the first part of "The Trilogy of the Gods" was finally released. Will meet the audience in the summer of 2023.

He also expressed his unchanging heart in the exploration of China's film industrialization in one sentence: "Don't hesitate because the road is far away. As long as you set off, you will arrive."
Where there is director Guo Fan, the word science fiction is inseparable. As an emerging film genre in China, science fiction films have extremely high requirements for production level and industrialization. He recalled that in the past ten years, "the biggest challenge in creation is how to make a qualified science fiction movie that does not lose money and that the audience can like."
The lack of methodology, standardization, and industrialization is the key factor in the preparation of "The Wandering Earth" Difficulties and challenges encountered during the season. Guo Fan revealed that after six years of review and summary of various experiences and lessons, and the exploration, practice and application of new technologies, the "Film Industrialization Laboratory" has completed the first batch of project results and is planning to compile them into a volume, which will be presented soon. for everyone.
In the next ten years, Guo Fan said that he will continue to delve into science fiction movies and create more science fiction movies with Chinese characteristics and highlighting Chinese culture. He also hopes to provide more support and help to the younger generation of filmmakers. He modestly said that in the next ten years, he hopes to work hard to become a qualified director.

Making good movies is the only reason for our existence." Wang Changtian revealed that Enlight is planning about 100 movie projects, which will be launched one after another in the next ten years.
Yu Dong, vice chairman of the Chinese Filmmakers Association and chairman of Bona Pictures, believes that in the next ten years, allowing Chinese films to win applause from the world is the direction of every film worker here. He revealed that in the future, Bona's films will use a global perspective and an international production team to make Chinese films with Chinese themes, showing a credible, lovely and respectable image of China to the world.

On the one hand, filmmakers need to learn more from a cultural perspective, and on the other hand, they need to bring themselves into modern thinking.
