The first female director in Chinese film history was Xie Caizhen. In 1925, she directed and acted in the movie "The Sadness of Orphans". The film tells the life of women in traditional Chinese families, but the original film has been lost. In recent years, there have been more and more female-themed films in Chinese films, and female roles have become more diverse. There are realistic themes of "Find You" and "Send Me to the Clouds" which interprets the situation of contemporary Chinese women.

Women’s films not only focus on feminism, but also fully demonstrate the charm of different types of women. The director Jin Yimeng, who created "One Night Surprise" and "Very Perfect", is also the first female director with a box office of over 100 million yuan in a Chinese-language film.

A brand-new type of female film."

The chief producer of the movie "Find You" Chen Jie also believes that the film market will break the traditional label of female characters in the future, "from "A Lawsuit in Qiuju" to "Three Billboards" "With the enhancement of female audiences’ self-consciousness, there will be more powerful female roles in female films in the future, and even commercialized blockbuster female roles."

Hainan Island International Film Festival’s filmmaker Yang Ying said, "Now , The major film festivals all over the world require gender equality, and even last year the Cannes Film Festival has more female works and female judges than men. In the venture capital of this film festival, we will also tend to look for young female directors, because They will face more problems than male directors in this industry, hoping to help female directors solve more problems in venture capital.”

They should put aside their prejudices and break the traditional label of female roles. "I hope that both men and women will pay more attention to female films, and that there will be more breakthroughs and more works that show the real plight of women. ”
