Chinese Film Report and beijing film academy student representatives came to Babaoshan Cemetery
1905 Movie Network News is qingming again. At this time of year, people mourn the deceased through the way of sacrifice.
For Chinese films, there are also countless artists of the older generation who are highly respected and worth remembering and remembering. On this occasion, together with student representatives from the Beijing Film Academy, we came to the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery in Beijing to pay tribute to the founders of the light and shadow of the republic.
We first came to the tomb of Chen Bo'er, China's first female director. The white marble stele only wrote her name in a plain way, and there was no more description. However, her short life was magnificent.
Comrade Chen Bo'er's tombstone
At the age of 24, Chen Bo'er starred in her film debut "Youth Line", after which she cooperated with Her husband Yuan Muzhi's "Peach and Plum Robbery" to make her famous in the film world;
In 1937, with the rise of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Movement, Chen Bo'er also joined the anti-Japanese propaganda activities on the front line, and later arrived in Yan'an to organize the creation of plays and films, and successively participated in the creation of anti-war films "Eight Hundred Heroes" and stage plays "Comrades, You Have Gone the Wrong Way" and other works.
The most significant and far-reaching influence of Chen Bo'er on Chinese cinema was the initiative to establish China's first film art cadre school, the predecessor of the Beijing Film Academy, after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Nowadays, "Nortel" has become a world-famous film professional college, from which a large number of outstanding filmmakers have emerged, and they have also become a solid force to promote the development of Chinese films.

After carefully wiping and sweeping the tombstone, the students solemnly observed a moment of silence and presented a bouquet of flowers to express their respect for this outstanding female director.
On that day, another filmmaker we paid tribute to was Mr. Wang Yang, who was the director of the "North Film Studio" for 35 years. Driven by him, the North Film Studio gradually developed from a simple small factory mainly engaged in filming documentaries to one of the production bases of new Chinese films, and it was also during this period that Wang Yang organized the creation of a number of classic masterpieces such as "Camel Xiangzi" and "Little Flower", helping the "North Film Studio" to form its own brand.
The group bowed to the remains of Wang Yang's predecessors
Mr. Wang Yang's children Wang Chong and Wang Linshan, who came to pay homage to us, also told us in detail and vividly about their fathers in their eyes. From a small art assistant to a "long factory", Wang Yang relies on the end of his love for research and the obsession with film art.
For example, when the film team performed to set up the venue, repeated dismantling was quite laborious, Wang Yang figured out a set of "tent-style stage", like an umbrella, a few young men can complete the performance with one support. This invention has also been borrowed by many literary and labor troupes;
Wang Chong, Wang Linshan told everyone about her father's deeds
In the subsequent production and creation, every time he gets a project, whether it is a sub-shot script or a sample, Wang Yang personally checks it one by one. For Wang Yang, whether his identity is an artist or a factory director, there is no difference, money, fame and fortune are not important, art is the pursuit in his mind. He was equally strict with his family and would never allow them to profit from his position.
Daughter Wang Linshan confessed that when she was a child, she and her siblings did not understand her father's dedication to work, and now that she thinks back: "This is the place where my father makes us feel great and proud the most." She also said that this indifferent spirit of fame and fortune in her father is what she most hopes to be passed on to the future generations of the film to learn.
As a student of the Beijing Film Academy and also a "fresh blood" of Chinese films, several students have felt a lot after participating in today's festival.
A male classmate said that from the expression of Wang Yang's family, he felt a spirit of dedication, which is also in line with the concept of "learning for the people, serving the people, and being a people's artist" conveyed to them by the school.
As filmmakers in the new era, they hope to strive to realize the dream of The Chinese film industry as a film power, and at the same time always reflect and remind themselves that they must inherit the spirit of selfless dedication of the older generation of revolutionaries, focus on art and their own career pursuits, and contribute to Chinese films.
