Cinema-going is on the rise in China as the pandemic remains under control, with strong local films set to release in the remainder of the year.

The performance of “My People, My Homeland” demonstrates the extent to which China’s market has recovered in the wake of COVID-19 and remains robust.
一个能走出去的电影,它的故事和表达是有标准的。很多可能我们自己看着非常高兴的电影,未必能够真正地传播出去,因为它不一定是其他民族其他国家的观众非常关注的。所以讲人性的故事,讲人类的故事,讲人类能够共情的故事,这一类也许可以更多地传播出去。
到中国来玩一趟可能很多误解就都消失了。可能有些地区的人还是会觉得中国是极其贫困、衣食无着的状态。
所以到中国看中国的高铁、高速公路已经是世界第一,在每一个省会城市和一、二、三线城市的面貌都是举世皆惊的,所以我认为多沟通多交流很重要。
在当下比较特殊的时刻举办一个电影节的意义是不大一样的。它能通过电影跨越各个国家的文化、语言,用电影来鼓舞人心、来抚慰人心,我觉得本身是一件很温暖的事情吧。
觉得目前最难的一点就是我们怎么建立我们的语言,我们是怎么说我们的故事,怎么用画面表达我们的观点。我们现在在演绎中国的神话题材的时候,还是在沿用他们(西方)的技术。我觉得用他的技术没关系,但你要变成你的。比如一条龙出来怎么样能神龙见首不见尾,怎么能做出虚实并置的一种效果,跟西方系统其实是不一样的,我们不能就用西方系统来讲我们的故事。
We naturally start from the story,from the meanings, the values the director wants to communicate with the movie. It's especially important that it is able to talk to the audience, to touch the emotions of the audience, to let the audience reflect about our society, our reality for what the director wants to transfer to the public.
I'm always looking for originality. Something has to be original, right? That's my kind of obsession that I love to find something which is very original and new. But it's very hard to find something like this. It's hard to invent something totally fresh.
Every time I go to festivals I watched Chinese (movies). This is very big big industry in the world. You can feel there is a root. You can feel this film comes from a country which had a long history. There is another thing which is very interesting for me, there is a lot of good historical films in China.
每次我参加电影节,我都会看中国的电影,中国电影在全球都有非常庞大的市场。你能发现中国影片有自己的根基,这样的根基是来自于一个历史悠久的文明古国。对我来说另一件很有兴趣的事是,中国有很多很好的历史题材影片。
I have one sentence, I think, they can make film by their heart, not their mind. When your film comes from your hearts, all people, doesn't matter the audience from which country, they understand it. When I make film, I believe it from my heart. Everybody will believe it.
