In response to a question about the similarities and differences between "good news, good stories and good movies", Zhu Xuedong, former editor-in-chief of China Weekly and editor-in-chief of Nanfeng Window, mentioned: "Good news is not necessarily a good story, but a good story that is true in real life must be a good news material; a good story is a good movie material, and a good news report content can also become a good movie material." ”
Liu Tianchi, founder of Liu Tianchi Performance Workshop, mentioned: "The film and television industry should pay attention to the most real news at the moment, because we must come from the real, because the first two points of the performance are to have a sense of faith, to have a sense of reality, when we do not fully understand the story, we must find it from the authenticity to create a realistic story, after all, it is impossible to be all true." Liu Tianchi also stressed that film and television works must always convey truth, goodness and beauty.
"To fabricate it, to fictionalize it is to lose the standard for itself, and to lose the standard in the field of directing is a disaster." "I'm fine in other places" director Li Mo said.
"The news is very objective, it is like a grape, and for a story, it is like grape juice, the film and television drama is derived from reality, just as grape juice is derived from grapes." "Undocumented Crimes", "Stick! "Juvenile" producer Qi Kang thinks.
Vikram Channa, senior vice president of The Discovery Channel Asia Pacific, said in a keynote speech at the forum that after the epidemic, compared with the offline cinema market, the global OTT (Internet TV) platform is deeply integrated, and the ratings of the head platform are rising steadily. The theme of realism occupies a large share of the global OTT market.
Wei Keran said that South Korea's "Parasite" and the just-on-fire "Squid Game" reflect the reality of pluralism in a multipolar world. Documentaries are increasingly emphasizing storytelling and entertainment, and many films are more realistic or textured. The recent success of the film "Chosin Lake" partly reflects the fact that we are telling the history of the past well in a way that is suitable for young audiences to understand.
