In the recent "Director Please Advise" program, Cai Kangyong said: When I studied film, movies were great. That era has passed. Movies inspire audiences, and television accompanies them. Movies have reached the era of competition with short videos, originally we had to spend 2 hours in the cinema to enjoy the movie, short video with three minutes to take you to watch the movie, the movie will eventually become shorter.
Cai Kangyong is very keen to find that short videos are "killing" movies.
It sounds so sad, but this is an indisputable "fact" that may happen.
For example, my colleagues, friends, and family members around me now almost all watch movies like this, and fewer and fewer people are walking into movie theaters.
Like my son, there are some new films that I often recommend to him and ask him if he wants to go to the cinema together.
He would reply: I saw this.
yes? Where to see it? This film is new!
On IPAD, a certain short video from the media in 3 minutes to finish the movie, not bad.
I was at a loss...
A good movie needs to be well appreciated and experienced, and many moods and connotations cannot be summarized in 2 or 3 minutes. These other people's introduction and interpretation, always only other people's, you do not go to the full, quiet to watch, only listen to other people's words, that is like other people's chewed sugar cane, you chew again, has a taste? It seems a little sweet, but in fact it is not his original taste at all!
This way of watching movies by the younger generation is actually meaningless and undesirable!
Therefore, our film industry and film practitioners really need to pay attention, be alert, and deal with it.
"Movies are going to get shorter, movies are being erased by short videos."
This is not an alarmist allegory.
In this situation, our screenwriters and directors should indeed be like Guan Jinpeng and Cai Kangyong, keep up with the pace of the times, with an open mind, pay more attention to what young people think, continue to learn, continue to make progress, seize the times, and seize the tastes of young people. Make movies that a new generation of audiences will love. Even if it is a short film, it must be a movie, with emotions, creativity, stories, the expression and thinking of the author, and the real film with artistic taste and pursuit.
So, from this point of view, the show "Director Asks advice" has become very meaningful, not only competitions, gimmicks and quarrels, but also an attempt and innovation. Through the display of the works of 16 directors, we can not only discover many talented, thoughtful and capable new directors, but also let Senior producers in the industry such as Fang Li, Wang Jing, Chen Zhixi and other senior producers in the industry "dig up treasures" and find future cooperation partners; at the same time, we also appreciate many excellent short films such as Guan Jinpeng's "Fireworks in the World", "Love" directed by Director Guan, and "Sale" directed by Wu Zhongtian, and are full of hope for China's future film development. Our domestic films can also deliver a satisfactory answer!
