Some people say that Jia Zhangke quit out of self-righteousness. What do you think of this?

Recently, I believe Jia Zhangke suddenly announced on the eve of the closing of the Pingyao Film Festival that starting from the fifth edition, he and his team will withdraw from the Pingyao International Film Festival, and the right to host the film festival will be handed over to the Pingyao government. This news shocked many people when it was reported. As we all know, the creation and development of the Pingyao Film Festival went through many difficulties before reaching its current height. In this regard, someone commented,

It can be said that Jia Zhangke single-handedly made Pingyao become China’s Sundance. He and his team have made Pingyao, an old city that has remained unchanged for many years and only relied on history and culture, begin to glow with youthful vitality through the charm of light and shadow. There is nothing better than this: old trees and new flowers.

Jia Zhangke can be said to be like an old father to the China Pingyao Film Festival. Jia Zhangke does everything large and small at the film festival himself. Jia Zhangke’s efforts can be seen almost everywhere in the film festival. Effort. So when his wife learned that he would withdraw from holding film festivals in the future, she said with emotion, Goodbye Pingyao Film Festival! Director Jia no longer has to ask for help for the film festival, and I can finally sleep. I am quite happy. ?

From this we can see Jia Zhangke’s efforts for the Pingyao Film Festival. It is precisely because of Jia Zhangke's love for movies that we are honored to have seen many excellent Chinese-language films in the previous Pingyao Film Festival, which also allowed us to see the outstanding new forces in the Chinese film industry. It can be said that Jia Zhangke has been striving for the development of the Chinese film industry all his life. Even when he withdrew from the Pingyao Film Festival, Jia Zhangke’s response was that the film festival is run from generation to generation. It is not one person, and this mechanism should not be You can't do anything without a person. So I think it is very urgent for us to leave early, train a new team early, let the new team take over, and let the Pingyao Film Festival get rid of the shadow of Jia Zhangke and let it gain independent vitality, so we chose to leave when it is strong. ?

Of course, we should respect his choice. Since he made this decision, it must have been carefully considered and not a self-righteous choice. Jia Zhangke's "Pingyao Film Festival" has successfully concluded, but the development of Chinese films has just begun to enter the right path. I believe that in the near future, Chinese films will frequently enter the world stage.
