In the film industry, there are many stories and countless people have put their efforts into them.

Today, we are going to tell Chen’s story. His life is full of passion and perseverance. At the same time, his experience also reveals the many factors behind the film industry. These factors are like bridges, connecting movies from the past to the future, shaping the development pattern of movies.

Chen plays two roles in life.

Not only does he have an ordinary job, he also shoulders another extremely important responsibility, that is, serving as the dean of a film school.

These two identities keep his life in a busy and fulfilling state.

He not only manages the daily affairs of the college, communicates with teachers and students, and plays a key role in the management of the college; at the same time, his passion for film creation also prompts him to continue to devote himself to film shooting.

This transition between roles is not simple and requires rapid adjustment across a variety of work environments and ways of thinking.

In the film production stage, he needs to use an artist's sensitivity to capture all potential inspirations; as for his role as dean, he needs to use an administrator's calm thinking to manage the affairs of the college.

Chen's investment in film production is huge.

He invested a lot of time in the filming process of the movie.

It took him about six years just to conceive a movie in his mind.

During these six years, he carefully polished every detail of the film, from the creativity of the script to the layout of the scenes.

He had to consider how to present the elements needed for the film in a setting city in Hubei Province.

His long-term investment reflects his high standards for film quality. He is unwilling to hastily complete "fast-food" film works, but is committed to showing the audience a film with rich content and profound connotations.

During the filming process, Chen used modern filming techniques.

He mentioned that during the filming process, part of the film was done using a green screen.

Specifically, this technique was used in three parts of the film.

This shooting technique is not uncommon in the contemporary film world, but when Chen uses it, his purpose is quite personal.

This way he wanted to have more control over the look and feel of the film.

Thanks to the green screen, post-production has a lot of room for development. It allows a wide variety of special effects and background elements to be added at a later stage.

He uses this technology to allow the audience to more directly experience what he wants to express.

Using green screen technology, he is able to create scenes that would be difficult to achieve in the real world, or those that would be riskier. This not only ensures the personal safety of the actors, but also ensures the complete presentation of the picture.

Shooting with a green screen also posed challenges for his creative team.

They must establish specific ideas for picture composition at an early stage so that the desired effect can be accurately achieved in the post-production stage.

From the lighting design to the actors’ movements, everything must match the post-production synthesis requirements.

Prior to filming, the team needed to engage in multiple discussions and planning to ensure that each shot would be integrated with the special effects so that the visuals of the film would meet the expected quality standards.

Chen's film is set in the Tang Dynasty.

He conducted in-depth research on the history of the Tang Dynasty in order to reveal to the audience the true scene of that era.

In the movie, he hopes to show not only a fragment of history, but also hopes that the audience can deeply feel the prosperity and diversity of that era.

He put a lot of effort into shaping the background of this era. Whether it is the layout of the city or the clothes of the people, every detail has been carefully crafted.

He was committed to restoring the style and color of urban architecture in the Tang Dynasty, and firmly believed that architectural style was one of the important parts that reflected the characteristics of the era.

After in-depth research on numerous historical documents and archaeological finds, he ensured that the layout and decoration of the buildings in the film are highly consistent with the Tang Dynasty style.

The characteristics of the Tang Dynasty are also emphasized in the creation of characters.

He depicts people from all walks of life of that era, including prominent officials and ordinary people.

He hopes to show the life and ideological attitudes of people of that era. It was a prosperous era with all kinds of people living and thinking in different ways.

Through character exchanges and story progression, he revealed the profound cultural heritage of the Tang Dynasty, covering many fields such as social etiquette, culture and art.

In order to turn the city in the film from a simple background into a realistic and vivid scene, Chen took an amazing step. He planted 20,000 trees.

This behavior not only reflects his high standards for film quality, but also demonstrates his firm pursuit of environmental restoration.

The city may have just been a lackluster film and television shooting location at first, but the planting of trees has gradually given it an ecological feel.

The location of tree planting needs to be carefully selected to match the urban layout in the movie and also meet the needs of the filming.

This act also brought other meanings.

On a practical level, these trees have a positive impact on the local environment.

After the filming was completed, the environmental quality of this area was improved due to the presence of these trees.

In the movie screen, if the plants cover the real world, the natural harmony presented by the lens will be stronger, making people feel as if they are on the scene, as if they have traveled to the ancient capital.

For the past three years, Chen has also served as the director of the Film School.

He is well aware of the impact his character has on young Chinese filmmakers.

Along the way, he has always had his original passion for movies, which is like the unchanging innocence in his heart.

He hopes to pass on his personal insights and passion for movies to the younger generation through words and deeds.

He firmly believes that China's young film workers will be the bright stars of the film industry in the future, and they have huge development potential and rich creativity.

He used the influence of his predecessors in film as an example to impart experience to young filmmakers.

He mentioned the senior who passed away on November 26 at the age of 77, who had a great influence on him.

His predecessors taught him many basic and key knowledge about film shooting, such as shot composition should be guided by the director's conception and should not be bound by stereotypes.

This kind of inheritance is not only the transfer of technology, but also the transfer of love for movies.

Chen's film "Earth" was discovered by a famous person, and this discovery brought him more development opportunities.

After that, he had more cooperation and exchanges with young filmmakers.

In the movie "The Last", he worked hand in hand with the new generation of filmmakers. Not only that, he also played a small role in the film.

The film ultimately won nine Best Awards, which is undoubtedly a huge recognition for him and the entire team.

There is a rich story behind this success.

The movie won many accolades, and Chen's reunion with his seniors in Los Angeles became an unforgettable experience.

They talked there for five hours.

This scene shows the collision of their different opinions on movies during the exchange, and also reflects the harmonious atmosphere when people of different ages in the film industry discuss the future direction of movies.

In your mind, what significant impact does a person like Chen, who can play a variety of film roles and continue to spread film concepts, have on the development of Chinese films?

Which of his actions do you think are most worthy of our praise?
