"Chinese films are inseparable from the power of young directors, and they are inseparable from valuable support programs, and the most influential one is the Green Green Project.
Green Green The plan can be described as the inheritance of the Chinese film dream. The plan is directed by the National Film Bureau and sponsored by the China Film Directors Association. It aims to tap potential young director talents, and its outstanding film projects from scripting, production, investment and financing, publicity, etc. The link carries out public welfare film activities supported by the entire industry chain. In the past five years, hundreds of young people with dreams have realized their film dreams.
actively participates in film festivals, industry associations, film institutions, and film companies. The business environment that is helping young directors grow up becomes better. Director Li Shaohong, chairman of the Directors’ Association of China, believes that directors nurture directors, which is a long history and a heritage of value. "I hope to learn from this method. Set out to help the industry solve some more practical problems in filmmaking. Since its inception, the
Shallot Program has received wide attention from the industry and abroad. Its milestone initiative has almost attracted strong support from the entire industry chain. With the help of the influence and resource platform of the China Film Directors Association, Xie Fei, Nearly a hundred instructors such as Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, Tian Zhuangzhuang, Jia Zhangke, Ning Hao imparted their accumulated years of experience and professional skills to young directors, and contributed to the Chinese film market. Director Li Shaohong said with satisfaction that in the past five years, The young directors judged on this platform can represent the level and greatest potential of future movies.
is full of envy for the green project, and several directors on the scene are full of envy. Guan Hu said that he regretted that there was no platform like the green project when he made his first film. The most difficult problem encountered at that time was funding, so that it made him from extreme self-confidence to doubt his qualifications, which can be said to be strong support.
Because of the lack of funds, "relying on strong support for the debut" is obviously a lot of celebrity guides. In a common encounter, the first film directed by Wanma Caidan was "The Quiet Mani Stone". He said that it was also financially distressed, and was still filmed at the time, and the equipment was not enough, so he was very anxious to shoot. The director said that the Green Onion Project relieves young directors of their anxiety back then and can help them create better creations. "The debut of the debut is critical to the establishment of confidence and the accumulation of experience. "Z1z
should not blindly care for the young directors, and spoil
as the chairman of the sixth green onion project, and Guan Hu said with a smile that he "leaves the lineup of young directors so quickly and becomes a senior, a bit nervous." When I was young, I expected someone to escort me, and now I am very happy that I can escort a group of young people. "Z1z
Green Onion Project is like a big harmonious family. Several mentors are parents. They are strict fathers and mothers. Director Li Shaohong is motherly. "Accompaniment" and "protection" are on our lips. "We hoped that someone would help , There is no chance for birth, now we are more companions to the green onion students, to talk about shooting ideas, it is more important to observe them, and the initial ideas are the most important. "She said that she will protect the creativity of young directors, give them technical experience, and even sacrifice some technical presentations, but also protect their original ideas. She hopes to understand and protect young directors on the basis of full respect for individuality and creativity. , Care and help.
Wang Hongwei, vice chairman of the China Film Directors Association and chairman of the Green Project, is a strict father. He believes that young directors now have less anxiety and doubts than Guan Hu and Wanma Caidan when they made their debut. "It may be related to the environment. However, compared with the previous directors, the young people’s ability to ask themselves is too weak. The latter directors should take a warning. Self-doubt is actually a way to adjust and take in nutrition for themselves. It is more serious and less thoughtful. , The young director should be like nowLike the only child, don’t blindly care and spoil them. "In the view of Teacher Wang Hongwei, let you be confident and talented. Don't be arrogant. The industry needs practical operations. The
Shallot Project will pay more attention to intensive cultivation in the future. Z7z
Wang Hongwei said that the personality of the Shallot Project has kept it in the film industry. "Core advantage", it is not a venture capital, but a professional, complete, and continuous support system: "The Green Onion Project is not a venture capital platform. Nowadays, the overlap rate of many Chinese film projects at venture capital meetings is very high. The Chinese film environment is now not a time for quantity, but more for quality. We will work hard. "Z1z
Therefore, the instructor of the Sing Cong Project is definitely not a name, and occasionally inquires about Sing Cong's work. Wang Hongwei recounted that director Wanma Caidan took Sing Cong students to the set to watch their own films, so that they have the first-hand and most intuitive experience. Feeling, "Director Wanma is a training camp instructor, and he also covers food and accommodation, because he thinks that if he is a producer, he needs to understand the director, the time spent with the instructor and the students is the basis for mutual understanding. "Z1z
Guan Hu said that in cooperating with young directors, in addition to helping them, he also hopes that he can absorb more nutrition from young directors and not be eliminated by the times.
and "help each other to learn from each other's strengths" is obviously a consensus. In Guo Fan's view, The producer is like a training partner. Rao Xiaozhi directed "Hello, Madman!" and Guo Fan was the producer. "That was the first time I was a producer. It was like a'acting producer'. It was more of a director’s point of view to provide advice. Finding the right place, coordination and balance, and good communication can make the film smoother. "Z1z
Rao Xiaozhi said that when he was a producer for Xu Lei, he was in the mood to find a talented person, hoping to help him complete the work. "With so many young directors, we don’t necessarily know everyone. We need to have this. A platform for us to help each other. "Z1z
young director + mature producer has become the standard equipment of the industry. The contribution of the seniors' experience and coordination of resources is a great guarantee for the survival rate of young directors' film projects and the production level of the film industry. Z1z
has gone through the previous "venture investment". "Blowout period", the industry’s attention and support for young directors is becoming more rational. In the next step, the Green Onion Project will also advance to the 2.0 era, making this support more accurate, matching and effective. Wang Hongwei said that under the new mechanism , The selection and entry of the Green Onion Project will be more stringent, "Before the top 30, now the top 20, and the top 20 are all eligible to receive training sessions, no more round trips, and the highest share of the industry.
