just last month, Chinese films ushered in a new starting point-- the box office broke through the 50 billion yuan mark, the number of moviegoers reached 1.448 billion, and the core indicators of the industry made another major breakthrough. Just a few days ago, the third China Film New Power Forum (hereinafter referred to as "the Forum") gathered a group of young directors, screenwriters, actors and other key film creators to speak freely on the development of the industry.

Zhang Hongsen, member of the party group and deputy director of the State Administration of Press, publication, Radio, Film and Television, pointed out at the forum that the new objectives, tasks and requirements of Chinese films in the new era have been clearly defined-- "promoting the prosperity of socialist culture and providing spiritual strength for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, Chinese Dream." The timetable and roadmap for film development have also been finalized-- "closely centering on the decisive period of building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way and 'two 15 years' to enhance the core competitiveness of films, build the soft power of film culture, and form the international influence of films."

hold your head high in the new era, energetic Chinese films are accumulating new strength and embarking on a new journey.

strive to climb a new peak of quality

" the film is prosperous if the creation is prosperous, and the industry is strong if the quality is strong. Improving the quality and level of Chinese film creation is the top priority of the current film work and the central link for us to meet the growing needs of the people for a better life. " Zhang Hongsen said so.

by 2020, the number of film screens in China will exceed 60, 000, with an annual production of about 800 films and an annual box office of 70 billion yuan. China may become the new world film production center after Hollywood and become the world's largest film market-- the goal is no longer far away. In addition to numbers, Chinese films should strive to climb new heights of quality, with "ideological weight" and "poetic character", which has become the consensus of Chinese filmmakers.

"the film still has to return to its creative Noumenon, characterization, film narrative and the artistic charm of the story itself." Yu Dong, chairman of Boehner Pictures, believes that the next 10 years will be an excellent opportunity for Chinese films to surpass Hollywood in an all-round way, and all film creative forces should come together to form an all-round prosperity of content production.

while deeply feeling that "the new era has come, there is new power," Han Sanping, former chairman of China Film Group, is even more determined that Chinese films must adhere to the most essential things-- emotions, feelings, stories, and characters. "if a film can resonate with the audience emotionally and be loved by the audience, it will certainly be a success at the box office."

"Film with the audience" and "with the people" has gradually become the creative consciousness of every film practitioner from a slogan put forward by "the New Power of Chinese Film" three years ago.

over the past five years, Zheng Dasheng, a director who has been working on the adaptation of literary works, admitted that the inspiration for the adaptation of Village Opera stems from his heartfelt admiration for writers like Jia Dashan. "the original novel and this group of actors have taught me that the creator is never anyone other than or above the people. The same feeling, and the same body. We are who they are.

Last week, Su Xiaowei, director of the Film script Center of the General Administration, just led a team back from Hainan to collect customs, this time with the title of Hainan high-speed railway around the island. In Su Xiaowei's view, today's smartphones can tell us all the numbers about the high-speed rail around the island, but they are different from the face-to-face feelings of the builders and those who have experienced them. The numbers come out of their mouths with emotion and temperature, as well as aesthetics and poetry. "if you don't measure the land with your feet and don't touch these people, you won't see the pride in their eyes! Chinese films have entered a critical period from quantity growth to quality improvement, and filmmakers should learn from the spirit of high-speed rail builders to work together.

Su Xiaowei said that over the past five years, the script Center has organized 13 groups of nearly 200 professional screenwriters to go deep into the front line of production and construction, from the fishing village in the South China Sea to the frontier of the North, from Red Ganzhou to the old industrial base, and visited the descendants of Zhejiang folk drama. I also got to know the fishermen on the island. The screenwriters learn from life and the people, and each time they are richly rewarded and moved.

Open up new expressions in China

" in the face of the historical position of socialism with Chinese characteristics entering a new era, based on the world's second largest film market dominated by national film culture, young film creators should focus on the mainstream of the times and tell Chinese stories under the guidance of new development concepts. " Zhang Hongsen said so.

in 2017, young director Wu Jing and his Wolf Warriors 2 created a new history of the Chinese film market and even the world film market. What excites all filmmakers is not only that the box office records have been refreshed again and again, but that Chinese artistic images, Chinese films, and Chinese creation have really stood up and become stronger on the international stage.

in the words of Liu Yi, screenwriter of Wolf Warriors 2: "with Chinese stories, Chinese characters, Chinese spiritual strength and the laws of genre films, our films can go further." Liu Yi firmly believes that genre movies are not exclusive to Hollywood, and that socialist core values have always been universal values of all mankind. Chinese stories, coupled with typed ways of telling stories, can achieve China's cultural self-confidence and value output.

according to Lu Yang, director of "embroidered Spring knife", the Indian film "Wrestling!" The successes of Dad and the Thai film Genius Gunners also have implications for Chinese films to go out. They are not Hollywood-style works, but films with local characteristics that are completely different from the Hollywood model.

Lu Yang believes that Chinese films must look for the oriental core and Chinese spirit, explore the themes and perspectives of creation from the excellent Chinese traditional culture, and make a new exploration in the types of films. "finding out the more valuable things we have, trying to get close to the audience, and providing a film experience that is different from Hollywood is the space for the future exploration and growth of Chinese films."

the director of investigation in Chinatown, Chen Sicheng, is a young father. For him, the greatest wish is that "our children can run in Chinese people's own Disneyland." the artistic images created by me and my colleagues can accompany them to grow up together. Over time, we Chinese films will certainly surpass Hollywood films. We hope that through our own creation and efforts, more people around the world can see Chinese films, understand and fall in love with China through Chinese films.

polish the new business card of the film

"We are fortunate to have a good film era, with the attention of the central government, social concern, and people's expectations; we are fortunate to meet the critical moment of film development and prosperity, with active capital, expanded market, audience support and favorable conditions. We should cherish such an era and moment, with noble artistic accomplishment, correct professional attitude, honest working spirit, simple personality style, and more and better works to repay the times and give the people a satisfactory answer. " Zhang Hongsen said so.

as actor Huang Xuan said, as a type of work in the film industry, acting may only be a small part of it; and as the forum host Professor Yin Hong said, as a profession with the highest attention in the whole industry, "actors are the most important appearance of the film building."

what is commendable is that in recent years, a group of new generation actors are constantly making progress on the performance road and are growing into the backbone, injecting new vitality into Chinese films. At the same time, young actors are well aware of their responsibilities and mission, and most of them do not evade and reflect on the impetuous wind of the industry.

Young actors Jing Tian and Yang Mi talked about the spirit of craftsmanship. Yang Mi believes that the craftsman spirit has always existed in the hearts of many young actors. "I always think that acting is a career that actors need to take seriously with their heart. What we do and the values we convey, we must assume more social responsibility and transmit more positive energy to society. Jing Tian said that the younger generation of filmmakers have to shoulder the important task of exporting Chinese culture. "the splendid culture of the Chinese nation needs to be understood and accepted by more people. Chinese films and Chinese filmmakers are the best business cards."

the new generation of actor Liu Haoran, who plays General Su Yu in the theme movie the Founding of the people's Republic of China, is proud of having the opportunity to convey the Chinese spirit through the film. The new generation of actors have an obligation to shoulder such responsibilities. Only in this way can we have a firm and high degree of cultural self-confidence.

Lu Han, representative of "post-90s" actors, said that as a public figure, in addition to doing a good job with positive energy, he should also shoulder social responsibility and actively participate in the public welfare. "this social responsibility is reflected not only in my words and deeds, but also in my film and television works. Choose what kind of role, what kind of work, this work can convey what kind of values will directly affect my 'fans'. This kind of responsibility will spur me to never forget my original ideals and aspirations, bear in mind my mission, be positive, and set an example for contemporary youth.

the film dream of the new era is described by young filmmakers

Director Xu Zheng:

in film creation, we should actively choose realistic themes to form the core competitiveness and creativity of Chinese films. These works pay attention to the present and life, draw nourishment from reality, depict real stories in film language, and convey hope, love and strength. At the same time, it is necessary to refine resonance in traditional culture and build the soft power of Chinese culture. The Noumenon of the film will always serve human nature and emotion, but not RMB. We should learn to panning for gold from traditional culture, excavate the theme of contemporary value, and carry out the innovation and creation of modern technology.

the military theme is a symbol of the concentration of great power. This theme must be broken through and innovated. There are many front-line pilots among our military advisers, many of whom come from flight practice. These vivid and textured materials give us a great touch to tell modern stories and weave modern feelings into them.

"piss off! Yuan Yuan:

each of us will become the creator and witness of history, the playwright of history, and we are also the playwrights of history, so we cannot shirk the responsibility and mission entrusted by the times. I have always compared film creation to a relay race, but in the past two years I have realized more deeply that it is not only a relay race, but also a marathon relay race. The screenwriter has a long way to go.

actor Huang Xuan:

for a long time, we often go to see how actors from other countries perform when preparing our roles, and learn from them. Now that China is strong, cultural undertakings have entered a new era of prosperity and development. I have a wish that actors from neighboring countries, Europe and the United States will also watch our Chinese movies and see the performances of Chinese actors when preparing their roles in the future, so as to learn from and be inspired by them.

Actor Zhou Dongyu:

We should lead by example and let the star effect serve the public and the society. To be a good actor, we must first improve our cultural quality and personal character, respect and learn the theoretical knowledge and performance skills handed down by our predecessors and schools, so as to make the new journey of Chinese films more dynamic and meaningful.

the profession of acting is pushed by the times, so we should always have a fresh sense of our work and be responsible for the script, characters and audience on the premise of keeping our original mind.
