On the afternoon of January 4, the 2021 China Jinan Wu Tianming Youth Film Summit opened. The summit was hosted by the China Film Foundation and the Shandong Filmmakers Association. After the opening ceremony, the press conference of the book "Story Original Master Class (International Volume)" was held on the spot, and the theme forum of "Talking to Young Friends about Writing with Young Friends" was hosted by Shi Hang and participated by Shu Ping, Zheng Dasheng and Yuan Yuan.
Since 2015, when the Wu Tianming Youth Film Special Fund set up the "Master's Light" Young Screenwriters Advanced Workshop, the Foundation has been committed to cultivating young screenwriters and has successfully held five workshops. This time, the Wu Tianming Youth Film Special Fund of the China Film Foundation cooperated with Houlang Film to compile the speeches of the first three international screenwriter master classes into the "Story Original Master Class (International Volume)". The book brings together the practical experience of eight international first-line screenwriters, including genre creation, IP adaptation, science fiction and other drama methods, as well as interpretations of industry pain points, career growth, and the confusion of newcomers in the film and television industry.
After the book launch, screenwriter and film critic Shi Hang hosted the theme forum of "Talking to Young Friends about Writing", and screenwriter and writer Shu Ping, director Zheng Dasheng, screenwriter and director Yuan Yuan discussed topics such as "the dilemma of youth writing".
Asked how he went from writer to screenwriter, screenwriter Shuping replied: "Because my short story "Evening News" is going to be adapted into the movie "Have Something to Say", so as to go to the road of screenwriting." Shu Ping also revealed that "Have Something to Say" which has now become a classic movie was not optimistic at the time, "the inherent humor and the raw summary of the unique cross-section of the city are also later."
Screenwriter Yuan Yuan is officially participating in "Get Out! Before the "Tumor Jun" project, it experienced countless failures, and the mentality fell to the bottom. A friend casually asked "would you like to make a cancer movie together", and she gladly accepted. Accept to do Get Out! When "Tumor Jun", she did not have expectations for herself, only thinking about how to transform the spirit of the comic into a movie script and then move people, "Looking back at the mental journey in the early stage, it is more like a 'small workshop's way of working, and the degree of completion is very high." But when taking over the second and third projects, Yuan Yuan also found that "the screenwriter has no constant experience, and each one is a unique model."
Speaking of the experiential creation of screenwriters, Shu Ping expressed his views on the idea that young screenwriters and directors often want to do a vote of big news: "Young creators should not think too much, what age to do what kind of things, do a good job, you can succeed." Screenwriting skills improve as experience increases, and is not directly related to whether there is an effort or an attempt to transcend the limitations of horizons brought about by age in the short term. ”
