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." Director Shi Xiaohua also believes that "to engage in art, you need to have personality, but personality is niche, and you can't 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." Director Qin Fusheng said: "The purpose of creation is to show my inner world to the audience and to the readers, not with a strong utilitarian purpose." Director Shi Jianfan proposed: "Engage in artistic creation and never forget to go deep into life." ”
Regarding the emotion for the film, director Lu Gang said: "You must love the movie, love it deeply, and love it as a life, so that you can make a good movie." Director Li Jiamo said bluntly: "I understand students, many people can't learn well because they don't love, learn well because they love, we have loved a lifetime, 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." ”
