Pingyao, Shanxi, October 15 (Xinhua) -- During the Fifth Pingyao International Film Festival, Chinese "fourth-generation" director Xie Fei and his classmates shared their own innocence at the Pingyao Film Palace in Shanxi.
Xie Fei, a Chinese "fourth generation" director, quoted Luo Xueying's book title "Looking Back at the Age of Innocence", describing the creative process of filmmakers from the 1980s to the 1990s with the "Age of Innocence", and invited students from the 1960 class of the Beijing Film Academy to share their experiences in studying film and share their experiences with young filmmakers.

In the view of director Xie Fei, many young directors' works now "pay attention to self-expression and are very personal, in fact, a director does not only shoot himself, but also shoots a lot." Shi Xiaohua, director of the movie "Spring Water Dingdong", also believes that "to engage in art, you need to have personality, but personality is niche, and we must not forget the social responsibility of art." ”
In addition, Shi Xiaohua recalled that when she was filming her debut film "Spring Water Dingdong", the senior director Xie Jin helped her, "Xie Jin is my teacher, I can ask him." Qin Fusheng, the director of the movie "Joy and Sorrow", said: "The purpose of creation is to show my inner world to the audience and to the reader, not with a strong utilitarian purpose." Shi Jianfan, the director of the film and television drama "Lu Xun", proposed: "Engage in artistic creation and never forget to go deep into life." ”

Regarding the emotions of the film, Lu Gang, the director who shot the movie "Fei Fei From the Shadow", said: "You must love the movie, love it deeply, and love it as a life, so that you can make a good movie." Li Jiamo, director of the movie "Young Friends", said bluntly: "I understand students, many people can't learn well because they don't love, and what they learn well is because of love, these few of us have loved all our lives, we want to love movies, we want true love." Director Ding Yinnan believes: "If you want to do a good job, you must work for a lifetime." ”
In addition, directors Zhang Yuqiang, He Misheng, Cai Xiaoqing, Xi Peilan and Song Chong also shared their stories in the early stages of creation, hoping to become an artistic experience for young creators to refer to. (End)
