Yu Qi has made a lot of efforts in his film career, and his works have attracted much attention. Some of his works have won the Golden Rooster Award and the Excellent Film Award of the Ministry of Culture.

Yu Qi was born in 1924 in an ordinary peasant family in Renqiu County, Hebei Province. He has been eager to learn since he was a child and has a curiosity to explore. His parents would rather scrimp and save than pay for his schooling.

1938 In May, driven by the torrent of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression revolution, Yu Qi, who was only fourteen years old, resolutely joined the army and came to the firewire drama club. In the army art troupe, he likes everything, singing, dancing, acting, painting, stage installation and so on. He learned to do everything, and he did it quite well. Comrades all like this hardworking, intelligent, lively and dark-skinned child. Yu Qi received training in writing and painting in the army, and sometimes went behind enemy lines with the army to engage in propaganda activities. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Yu Qi became the business backbone and generalist of the Art Troupe.

1948 was promoted to vice chairman of pioneer drama club of Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Fourth Column. How did Yu Qi become a film director? This goes back to the war of liberation. 1947, Yu Qi's army took part in the battle to liberate Shijiazhuang. Wang Yang led photographers from North China Film Group to the army to shoot documentaries and filmed yangko and other programs performed by Yu Qi and others at the celebration. All these attract Yu Qi. Since then, he has developed a strong interest in movies.

Past experience

"On Earth" stills 1949. During the army's March into the northwest, Yu Qi suddenly received a phone call to make a movie.

1949 10, in the sound of the birth of new China, Yu Qi took off his military uniform and reported to the actors section of Northeast Film Studio. During his two years in the Northeast Film Studio, he played the role of a soldier in the films "Glorious Home" and "Distant Country". Co-directed the translated film On Earth with Zhang Ping, and acted as a voice actor in translated films such as On Earth and Donbass Miner. He also co-directed the drama Darkness Before Dawn with Zhang Ping.

From 65438 to 0952, Yu Qi was transferred to the Science and Education Film Group of Beijing Film Studio. The first science and education film he directed was Destroying Flies. This is his first time dealing with animal actors. Since then, he also directed China's first magazine film, Science and Technology. At that time, the science and education film industry in New China was in its infancy, and it was difficult to start a business. The key is learning. During this period, Yu Qi selected many foreign science and education films, such as Cosmos and Raising Ducks, to watch and study. He secretly made up his mind that he must use movies to reveal the mysteries of nature and devote his life to the science, education and film industry of the motherland. In the same year, China established the first professional science and education film studio-Shanghai Science and Education Film Studio. Yu Qi participated in the construction of Shanghai Science Film, and directed the science and education film "Mother and Child Are Safe" that year.

From 65438 to 0954, Yu Qi directed the science and education film Freshwater Fish Culture. This is a film that introduces the life habits of silver carp, silver carp, grass carp and herring in China, promotes the domestic fish technology in rivers and lakes in China, and popularizes relevant biological knowledge.

From 65438 to 0955, Yu Qi directed the science and education film Landscape of Guilin. This film is full of local poetic features. In this way, Yu Qi won many honors for the motherland with his excellent science and education films.

In 1956 and 1957, Yu Qi directed two sports films: running technique and throwing technique. Speaking of making sports science films, Yu Qi is still an amateur sports lover. His interests are very extensive, and he often practices calligraphy and fine arts, all of which are just "achievements beyond poetry", which is of great help to Yu Qi's artistic accomplishment as a director.

From 65438 to 0957, Yu Qi also instructed biology teachers. This film vividly describes the general principles of biology and introduces the teaching method of integrating theory with practice by interviewing a middle school biology teacher.

From 65438 to 0958, Yu Qi and Du Shenghua jointly edited and directed Song of Life. This film praises the deeds of medical workers in rescuing Qiu Caikang, a steel worker with extensive burns. This film is regarded as an art documentary.

196 1 in the winter of, Yu Qi began to prepare for the filming of Night Owl (also known as Uneven Quiet Night). Before that, he had seen many excellent foreign biological films, such as On the Arctic Ocean of the Soviet Union, Quiet World of France, Le Island of Hungary and so on. He thought that foreign countries could make such a difficult but wonderful film. Why can't we make great efforts to make a difficult science film? This winter, he made a lot of efforts to shoot the whole film Night Owl.

During the ten years of turmoil, he suffered enough for it. Because he and the comrades of the film crew once used the word "the conviction for the owl", which was falsely accused of political conviction out of thin air, they criticized Yu Qi again and again.

After the downfall of the Gang of Four, Yu Qi was very excited when The Night Watch was released again. Published an article entitled "Let the Owl Fly Out of the Cage", expressing the desire to continue to make more contributions to the science and education film industry. As early as 1963, Yu Qi became the deputy director of Shanghai Science and Education Film Studio. At that time, he also wrote and directed his own films. Shortly after the downfall of the Gang of Four, Yu Qi returned to Shanghai Keying Factory as the director.

During the ten years of turmoil, Shanghai Keying's creation and production were greatly damaged. After taking office, Yu Qi faced a lot of work. He United with other leaders and comrades in the factory, adhered to the party's literary and artistic principles and policies, unswervingly implemented the party's guiding ideology and a series of major decisions since the Third Plenary Session, set things right ideologically in his creation, and gradually put the creation and production of science and education films on the right track, paying special attention to how to improve the quality of science and education films. Yu Qi became the director, but you can hardly find him in the director's office. He arrives at the factory very early every day. Besides meeting and writing plays, he often goes to the studio or creative department, even if he just takes a walk and has a look. Sometimes, he also helps solve practical difficulties in shooting and guides specific shooting work. Yu Qi pays attention to the quality of movies. First, he controls the script and the sample. Second, we should be specific and meticulous, try our best to help creative people come up with ideas and find ways to solve practical difficulties. For example, when discussing the script adoption of "In vitro Seedlings" and "Carp", he proposed to change the planned animation shots to live shooting, which not only made the film more vivid, but also shortened the shooting time. For another example, in the filming of the movie "Fighting Mites with Mites", due to the difficulties caused by temperature problems, it is necessary to buy air conditioning equipment. When Yu Qi was informed, he approved the increase of equipment in time, which ensured the smooth shooting and the quality of the film. As long as Yu Qi has time, he will review some or all samples. The directors are also willing to let him review the samples early and listen to his opinions. Every time he watches a demo, he has to adjust and abridge the structure of the film and the lens, and even put forward specific opinions on a commentary. Sometimes I go to the editing stage to "pull the tab" to adjust the lens, help the directors to repeatedly scrutinize and modify, and so on, and act as a staff member for the directors. Over the years, young and middle-aged directors and other creative workers in Shanghai Keying Factory have gradually become the backbone of creation. In order to improve their professional level, Yuqi encouraged them to go deep into life and make bold innovations. On the one hand, editors and directors are organized for professional study, and some comrades are invited to take classes for them, so as to improve their literary and artistic literacy and enhance their necessary scientific knowledge. At the beginning and end of each year, we always set aside a period of time to hold a creative meeting to mobilize the employees of the whole factory to carry out the activities of selecting excellent films, so that everyone can speak freely, sum up experiences and lessons combined with one year's film creation, and "stick to the dichotomy and pass the next level". In recent years, the output is increasing every year, and the artistic quality of movies has also been greatly improved. Some films won the Golden Rooster Award and the Excellent Film Award of the Ministry of Culture. Faced with these achievements, Yu Qi was not satisfied. He said modestly and seriously, "No, the artistry, scientificity and ideology of the film are still not high, some old rules and regulations have not been broken, and the film is too long and dull ..." Obviously, in his mind, artistic creation is endless, and we must make unremitting progress. Yu Qi wrote and directed more than twenty science and education films. Now he is the director of Shanghai science film Factory, the director of China Film Association, the executive director of Shanghai Branch of China Film Association, and the deputy secretary general of Shanghai Popular Science Creation Association. He has a heavy workload. Although he is nearly sixty, he is full of energy and ambitious. He also plans to explore the mysteries of the natural biological world, shoot several science and education films and popularize biological knowledge.
