The film viewing forum was presided over by Zhou Jianming, a public welfare filmmaker and dean of the Tianxing Musical Theater Academy of Nanjing University of the Arts. Zhou Yuejiang, deputy director of the Jiangxinzhou Subdistrict Office, said in a speech: "The successful release of the movie "Actor" today is a major event for Jiang xinzhou's 'cultural benefit'. Jiang Xinzhou was able to participate in the creation and production of the film, which originated from the islanders who washed their feet and went upstairs and became rich, longed for the wealth of spiritual culture and looked forward to a better life. Just at this time, Professor Zhou Jianming of Nanjing University of the Arts, affectionately known as 'Master Zhou who puts on movies', led the "Film Mark" public welfare film screening team to insist on screening open-air movies on the island every week, opening a bright artistic window for the spiritual world of the residents and friends of Zhou Island. The classic films and heroic images performed by those people's film artists were spread in various open-air screening points such as communities, communities, squares, parks, schools, construction sites, and homes for the elderly in Jiangxinzhou. Since 2017, The main theme of open-air movies has been screened, and the residents of The vast number of Islands have been deeply influenced and infected by the red classic films, the spiritual and cultural life has become increasingly rich, the civilization quality has been continuously improved, and the sense of gain and happiness has been significantly enhanced. ”
Zhou Yuejiang spoke.
The creation of the movie "Actor" lasted for 5 years, and Zhang Xuehu, secretary of the Party Working Committee and director of the Management Committee of the Nanjing Ecological Science and Technology Island Economic Development Zone in Jiangsu Province, and Liu Xuetao, secretary of the Party Working Committee of Jiangxinzhou Street in Jianye District, fully supported the creation.

From going to Beijing to see the rough cut to the premiere to see the film, he was an audience member six times. "Every time I watch it, my heart fluctuates, and through documentary pictures, dialogues, and stories, the film vividly shows the noble character of the older generation of filmmakers who are loyal to the party and have both virtue and art." The participation of the Party Working Committee and office of Jiangxinzhou Street in the creation and production of this film is a vivid practice of actively practicing the core values of socialism and vigorously carrying forward the spirit of patriotism and heroism. He said with emotion.
Yang Juan spoke.
Yang Juan, secretary of the party branch of the Zhoudao Green Garden Community in Jiangxinzhou Subdistrict, who attended the meeting, is an indigenous person who has been living on the island. The "Actor" crew came to the island to shoot, she participated in some work, and after watching the film, she was quite excited. She said: "Jiangxinzhou used to be a rural area, an agricultural island based on the cultivation of grapes and vegetables, and the previous peasant life was very monotonous, and the cultural and artistic life was lacking. Later, Jiangxinzhou was fully developed, the islanders moved into new homes, farmers became citizens, and the living environment changed dramatically. At this time, the new issue facing the street party working committee is how to enhance the new needs of the spiritual and cultural life of the islanders. The emergence of "Actor" is actually just a case of Jiang Xinzhou's 'cultural benefit for the people'. The three film festivals, cultural and art festivals, cultural training, cultural exhibitions and performances held in Jiangxinzhou have accumulated a lot of cultural energy. The vast number of islanders have benefited greatly from their participation. Through the movie "Actor", people can understand the changes of Jiangxinzhou from multiple angles and see the future of Jiangxinzhou full of opportunities. ”
Hua Cheng, a new resident of Jiangxinzhou, made his home on the island 4 years ago, and the changes on the island flashed back to his mind like a movie lens. He said: "Jiang Xinzhou has been using the form of open-air movies that everyone likes to hear in recent years to lead the spirit of the islanders to pursue art, which is undoubtedly a particularly emotional thing. After several years of cultivation, the film and the life of the islanders have been very compatible. From the movie "Actor", I saw the artistic pursuit and touching deeds of the older generation of artists who "drama is bigger than the sky"; I saw the vision and responsibility of Jiang Xinzhou's grassroots party organizations. CCTV Movie Channel is a high-quality platform, and Jiang Xinzhou cooperated with it to launch such a good work, which has done a very meaningful thing to enhance the social reputation of Jiangxinzhou. ”
Yu Yong spoke.
"Actor" is a "love letter" to Chinese films.
Yu Yong, chief planner of the film "Actor" and vice president of the Theory and Criticism Committee of the Provincial Film Association, was commissioned by director Pan Yilin to introduce his creative experience. He said that the movie "Actor" is a "love letter" written by the creator to Chinese cinema and The history of Chinese cinema stemming from his love for old artists. As the first documentary film in China to explore the virtues and arts of actors, "Actor" makes an accurate interpretation of the profession of actor, what is an actor? How to be innocent, act seriously, and be a qualified actor? The film uses this to inspire young actors to inherit the professionalism of their predecessors.
Ji Aiming spoke.
Ji Aiming, a professor at Nanjing University of the Arts, said that after watching the documentary "Actor", there are 12 words to feel - deeply moved, deeply educated, and deeply inspired. This work is very educational, ideological and realistic. The fascinating brilliance and artistic ideas emanating from the older generation of filmmakers and film artists can be found through this film, which is particularly worthy of praise.
Moderator Professor Zhou Jianming.
Professor Wang Fang believes that "Actor" is a work that can evoke memories and has great artistic value. "When the film began, the image of Teacher Yu Lan in her 90s appeared, and the first image that popped up in my head was Sister Jiang in her "Eternal Life in the Fire". For our generation, the images presented by these actors in those movies are very, very familiar, and they are intertwined with the lives we grew up with, very warm. The old artists were also young actors at that time, and their serious attitude towards the role and some of the details of their creations are still fresh in their memories today. The noble personalities and artistic sentiments they displayed are of great practical significance today. ”
Huang Bin, deputy general manager of Jiangsu Happiness Blue Ocean Film and Television Group, also put forward positive suggestions for the market promotion of "Actor". He believes that the success of "Actor" lies in the fact that each character is endowed with a soul, which is the charm of art. The film operator can negotiate to choose a theater for long-term screening, and students can also recommend this film during winter and summer vacations.

"As actors, from the beginning of their careers, the seniors have been emphasizing what acting? What is the basis? In the artistic practice of the older generation of filmmakers in "Actors", in the final analysis, the word "life" is emphasized. How we experience life means how much of the nutrients you can get from the actor's performance. ”
