Zeng Guoxiang: I saw very impactful dramas in venture capital_Guangming.com

The project ventures of the 14th Beijing International Film Festival held final review roadshows on April 19th and 20th. Director and producer Zeng Guoxiang was the judge of this year’s project ventures. This was his first time participating in the Beijing Film Festival. As a new-generation director, Zeng Guoxiang is good at capturing social issues and phenomena. His directorial style is delicate and caring about individual values.

At the end of last year, after receiving an invitation from the organizers of the Beijing Film Festival, Zeng Guoxiang immediately agreed to serve as a venture capital judge. He believed that he could get in touch with many young creators at the Beijing Film Festival and was very happy to provide help to some new filmmakers. In addition, he can also gain a lot of inspiration from the creations of his peers. This is his little “selfishness”. “In venture capital, I can always see some very impactful works and scripts.”

During this venture capital project, many works left a deep impression on Zeng Guoxiang. “Half Familiar Family”, which tells the story of a family of three sisters and their parents, is one of them. Many plots and dialogues in the script deeply touched his heart. What has always moved Zeng Guoxiang the most is the “people” and “emotion” in the story of the script. This is an important criterion for him to judge the quality of a script. It is also what he believes can impress audiences from different cultures and even make the drama go overseas. The key factor.

“Diversity” is Zeng Guoxiang’s overall impression of this year’s venture capital project. During this review, he saw many scripts of different types and themes, and he was deeply excited by many of the stories, characters and expressions. When many people are saying that the younger generation is more conservative and “flat”, Zeng Guoxiang sees the side of young people actively pursuing their dreams. When more screenwriters begin to value whether their books can adapt to the market, he believes that targeting a diverse audience is not a bad thing. On the contrary, it shows that young creators are more mature.

“I won’t put my own preference on their works.” Zeng Guoxiang said frankly that although his plays are known for their outstanding emotions and character relationships, this will not give him any special preferences when it comes to venture capital works. Zeng Guoxiang faces young creators with an inclusive attitude. In his eyes, the debut works of new directors are very precious, and the pure expressions in these works should be cherished.

In the venture capital projects of this year’s Beijing Film Festival, many young creators have handed over good scripts, and some completed films are in negotiation with film companies. This industry ecosystem makes Zeng Guoxiang very happy.

Zeng Guoxiang encouraged young creators to watch more movies from different countries, different eras, and different directors, and draw nutrients from these works to inspire and form their own unique style. At the same time, trying different positions in a movie is also a way to accumulate experience and understand what kind of job you are suitable for.

“When making movies, you should also read more books.” Zeng Guoxiang believes that for creators, if they want to have a more unique perspective on things, they need to have knowledge and accumulation outside of their own industry, and these will subtly influence the play. It has an impact on the way of image expression and character creation. (Reporter Yuan Yuner and intern Xie Jingwen)
