"As filmmakers, we know very well that in the end it\'s about the ability to touch people\'s hearts," said Ang Lee.
The Chinese film industry is on the cusp of surpassing the United States in box office revenues but is still relatively immature in terms of capital and talent, the 赌博app Forum heard yesterday at the ongoing Shanghai International Film and TV Festival.
The forum discussed China\'s booming box office and the making of good films and was joined by Ang Lee, Xu Zheng, Jeff Robinov, Ye Ning and Yu Dong .
Lee, the Oscar-wining director and maestro of storytelling, said China’s film industry should take advantage of the prosperous current conditions to lay the groundwork for future filmmakers.
The industry, he said, should be focusing on building basic skills and knowledge instead of being restless. It should not look down on technology because the development of film should be naturally comprehensive and diverse.
"I hope now is the beginning of a golden age. We should take the opportunity to establish a positive cycle in the industry so everyone can get better and better," he said.
Lee explained two traps the Chinese film industry may be facing. The first is making films solely for monetary reasons. This approach would result, he said, in audiences losing interest after repeatedly seeing the same style of production.
"The increase in capital is a good sign, a very good thing, because it\'s a means of survival for films. But it\'s easy to walk into the trap and become boring," he said.
"When audiences are not just disliking the genre, but are thinking that watching films no longer matters, we become our own victim," he added.
The other trap, Lee said, is the excessive pursuit of stars and celebrities. By spending most of a film\'s budget on star actors, film production values and set construction suffer.
"Celebrities attract audiences, and people like to hear gossip, it\'s part of the culture and is understandable," he said."But as filmmakers, we know very well that in the end it\'s about the ability to touch people\'s hearts," he said.
Xu Zheng, known for his comedy films "Lost In Thailand" and "Lost In Hong Kong," said the new challenge faced by Chinese filmmakers is how to express themselves while satisfying the aesthetic tastes of audiences.
