Forum debut: "The mission of filmmakers is to record the times"
On the morning of November 25, the "Golden Rooster Forum Debut: Inventory of the 2020 Film Phenomenon" was held in Xiamen. Director Yin Li, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, vice chairman of the China Filmmakers Association, and vice president of the China Film Directors Association, spoke first, "This year has passed very quickly, this year has been very long, this year has been very difficult, and the sudden epidemic has disrupted the established rhythm of life. Looking back on the year, changes and challenges are constantly emerging high-frequency vocabulary. ”
Yin Li
Yin Li believes that since the spring festival in 2020, 7 online movies have turned out, "it can be seen that online movies have become a film phenomenon that cannot be ignored from the past to attract young people in small cities and towns in the third and fourth tiers to today." In the future, the concept of Internet company online movies will not be limited to online platforms, and there must be many people trying to occupy a place in large cinema movies. In addition, we can refer to some foreign models, such as Netflix, from the rental company that began to sell DVDs, to today's big network movies and dramas such as "House of Cards", which may give us some path thinking about the future development of online movies. ”
Yin Li specifically mentioned that in the second half of this year, especially since mid-July, mainland theaters have gradually been liberalized, "first of all, with films of the size of "Eight Hundred" leading the brilliant performance of the box office. At present, the box office of about 3.2 billion yuan has indeed boosted the confidence of Chinese films. Movies all over the world are on the decline, they are all closed and closed, and Chinese films are thriving, indicating that after more than ten years of industrialization reform, from 3,000 to 70,000 screens, 3D, 1MAX, from 8K to 34K projection technology indicators can be described as leading the world. Immediately after the Qixi file 550 million box office a day, the National Day file from "Win the Championship" to "My Hometown and Me", all the way to "King Kong Chuan", let us see into the theater to enjoy today's most cutting-edge audiovisual shock, is still the current young people's need for the film industry. ”
Stopping also makes us calmly think about what the future faces? Yin Li finally mentioned, "First, what to do next year from the tactical level? What grain and grass have Been Stockpiled for Chinese Films, which have been suspended for half a year, for next year's and the year after tomorrow's films? Once the theater is fully open, can we still come up with works that attract audiences into the theater? The second is from the strategic level, in today's rapid development of the Internet of Things, cloud computing, blockchain including biotechnology, and artificial intelligence, we can't imagine what movies will look like in the 20s, but no matter how film industrialization progresses, how film technology progresses, movies are always writing about people and writing about people's emotions. Recording the present, expressing the times, and speaking for the people is still the fine tradition of Chinese films, and the mission of filmmakers is to record the times. ”
On the afternoon of the same day, one of the series of activities of the 33rd Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards Ceremony, "China Film Investment Conference • Summit Forum", was also held at Xiamen Tian Yuan Hotel. With the theme of "Integration, Innovation and Development of Financial Capital and Film Industry", the forum held the release of the "China Film Investment and Financing Report", keynote speeches, two roundtable forums and the signing ceremony of film and television industry projects in Xiamen. At the signing ceremony, a total of 32 projects were signed, with a total of nearly 20 billion yuan, focusing on the agglomeration effect of multiple measures in Xiamen's film and television industry.
