Chinese Director Zhang Lu: Movies Should Move towards a Wider Area
2023-08-11
The 2023XPLUS Chinese Language Film Exhibition, co hosted by the Seoul Chinese Cultural Center, Seoul City East Cultural Foundation, Orange Entertainment, and the Korean Film Association, is currently taking place in South Korea. Recently, director Zhang Lv, who released the film "Long Confession" in August, came to the exhibition site to interact with the audience and gave an interview to a reporter from China News Agency after the exhibition. In "Long Confession", Lidong, a young man, once fell in love with a woman named Achuan. After nearly 20 years of passionate waiting, the two met again. This deep love in my heart has also intensified in the pursuit of love in her hometown. This film is a slow paced film, but it is precisely in the current fast-paced life that if a slow paced film can successfully establish emotional connection with the audience, it will go even further. "Zhang Lv told reporters that during the exhibition that day, the audience's feedback fully met his expectations, I feel that people who come to watch movies have some understanding of China, and their reactions when watching movies are very accurate. I am very happy, "Zhang Lu said, referring to the message that this movie aims to convey to the audience." I think what I want to convey is still my understanding of love. "Regardless of the audience in any country, regardless of their age, there will always be a period when they have experienced love. In the context of fast-paced lifestyles and social development, people are becoming increasingly unfamiliar with this long love story. As the Chinese saying goes, 'flipping articles is extremely fast,' but the protagonist's' this one 'in my movie cannot be flipped over for 20 years.' 'Long Confession' was once the opening film of the Pingyao International Film Festival and was also screened as an ICONS unit of the Busan International Film Festival. In the 35th China Film Golden Rooster Award Awards, he won two awards: the best small and medium-sized feature film and the best supporting role. Regarding the emergence of excellent Chinese language films on the international stage, Zhang Lv stated that as a common medium of expression, 'the farther we go, the better'. Audiences from different countries and cultural backgrounds watch a movie, and they will understand the culture you want to express, the emotions, emotions, and lives of the people in the movie. If these audiences can empathize with the movie after watching it, the creator will 'earn'. "On August 1st, Zhang Lv accepted an interview with a reporter from China News Agency. As a Chinese Korean film director, Zhang Lu worked and filmed in South Korea for several years. I have the opportunity to grasp the emotions of the populations of China and South Korea, and I can also see commonalities from them. Because China and South Korea are both East Asian countries and influenced by Confucian culture, their audiences have similar cultural backgrounds, emotional states, and even moral preferences. This makes it easier for Korean audiences to understand the core of Chinese language movies, "Zhang Lu said. Whether it's movies or people's emotions, they still need to move towards a broader area. "Zhang Lv said," In the past, Korean films were more influenced by Chinese and Hong Kong films. Now, Korean films are developing rapidly, and we need to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and communicate more. Only by accommodating more emotional states and stories from different groups can film creation go further and do better
