1905 movie network news On August 16th, the 12th Beijing International Film Festival Film Power Forum was held in Beijing. Filmmakers such as,,,,,, Huangfu Yichuan and Tan Zheng gathered together to share their creative experience from different dimensions such as director, screenwriter and performance, and to discuss the theme of the forum "Exploration, pursuit and creation of’ peak’ film works".
What kind of movies can be counted as "peak works"? How can we create a peak work? Huang Jianxin, who has multiple identities such as director, screenwriter and producer, said that quantity and peak are equally important. Movies are the work of all departments and jobs, and the creation of peak works also requires the joint efforts of the whole industry. The "peak" needs to be climbed. Only when the team has good stories, people’s feelings, artistic imagination, open thinking and eclectic spirit can it climb up bit by bit.
Dasheng Zheng said that the more "peak" it is, the more it will fall on the ground. Directors should learn to "dive deep" and touch the essence of human emotions. They should have universal expressions that are universally applicable, as well as Chinese’s unique thoughts and feelings, and then find accurate language to convey, so that they can experience the choice of the times and the test of time. Only in this way can a work be called "peak".
From the perspective of performing arts, Zhang Ziyi emphasized the importance of professional ability and firm mind in the current creative environment, and the "peak" works are hard to meet. She said that the performance that makes the audience unforgettable and empathetic will be close to the "peak" performance. But this can’t be achieved by one person’s energy, and it needs collective energy to create.
She also suggested that actors should let themselves enter a state of "flow of mind" with no distractions and all efforts, and abandon all distractions and interference, so that they can hopefully create a "peak" performance. Taking her creative process of self-directing and acting as an example, she tried to be a director for the first time, which broadened her thinking space and enabled her to "understand" and interpret the role more deeply.
Haoran Liu also starts from the actor’s own job, and he thinks that the performance of "Peak" movies can stand the test of time and stay in the audience’s memory permanently and continuously. As for the role of youth power in the creation of "Peak" movies, he proposed that young actors should have fearless spirit, abundant exploration desire and curiosity, combining the roles that Su Yu and Liu Renjing in China have played.
Shu Huan, a screenwriter who has created a large number of comedies, suggested that in the face of the impact of short videos, the short-cut comedy has lost its "position" and filmmakers should return to the essence of comedy. "The lower limit of comedy is to make the audience laugh; The upper limit is drama, that is, characters and emotions. The rise of short content has forced comedy film creation to be more pure, starting with the characters and emphasizing the integrity of the story and the sense of work. "

Lan Xiaolong has been deeply involved in the creation of military works for many years and shared his own experience in creation. Regarding the definition of "peak" movies, he first thinks that movies are sociology and "culture", that is, culture is about people. What really melts civilization into it is the "peak" movie. At the same time, the "peak" film needs the circulation and addition of commercial attributes, but more importantly, it can grasp the impression of the audience and stand the test of time.
