Several influential and heavyweight movies and TV series have been introduced to Suizhou for filming, which is very important for promoting Suizhou and promoting Suizhou.

He later graduated from the directing major of the Beijing Broadcasting Institute and joined the military art troupe in 1990 to engage in acting work. After changing his career, he specialized in directing and producing films, TV series, documentaries and performances.

2. What’s the story behind the transformation of "The Little Sister Wants to Cross the River" from a drama to a movie? Yesterday, reporters interviewed Miao Weiji, the film’s chief producer, director, and president of Hubei Chinese Radio and Television Media Co., Ltd.

The filming of Enshi Landscape lasted for a month, from the start of shooting on April 28, 2012, to completion on May 29, and then to obtain the public screening license at the end of 2012. On March 20, 2013, it was confirmed that it would be the first film in the country. During the screening, Michael Miu talked about the entire filming and distribution process of the film. A few simple words revealed the hard work and difficulty.

Miao Weiji received the task of making the play into a movie in September 2011. “I started doing my homework at that time. I went to Enshi two or three times to understand the folk customs. It’s getting more and more interesting.”

What makes Miao Weiji feel confident is first of all the quality of Huangmei Opera “The Little Sister Wants to Cross the River”. "My positioning of the film has been very clear from the beginning. It is a feature film, not a stage drama. All the scenes must be shot in real scenes." However, Miu Weiqi also admitted frankly that as a film and television director, how When converting an opera script into a movie script, he had to keep the singing and movements of the original opera unaffected, while also taking into account the actual scene, which took a lot of thought for him.

Fortunately, the filming started smoothly. Miu Weiji recalled the situation during the filming and especially thanked the actors for their cooperation and dedication. "Before the filming started, there were some problems that I did not expect, such as how to get used to the stage." Actors who use exaggerated expression techniques can perform more naturally in front of the movie camera. This requires a process of getting used to."

Zhan Chunyao, the male protagonist in the film and a national first-class actor, said, "I play the role of the heroine. They reminded each other and helped each other, and they gradually overcame this problem. "While filming a scene where Aaron climbed up to a stilted building to have a private meeting with A Duo, Zhan Chunyao was injured. The tendons of two fingers were ruptured and he was almost nailed. Steel nails, but fortunately, he recovered through conservative treatment. "It was a scene of climbing a building. It was originally shot in separate shots, just doing an action. Unexpectedly, the director didn't tell me to stop, so I climbed up in one breath. I didn't feel it at the time. I later found out that my hand was injured." recalled. Zhan Chunyao misses that period of filming very much, "It was very cold at that time, and we were still wearing unlined clothes. Filming a group of young men getting their first 'electric shock' while stretching under the sun, I benefited a lot and gained a valuable learning experience in my life." ."

"The total duration of the movie is 95 minutes, including the Daughter's Party, Maogusi Dance, Tower Party, Crying Marriage, Elopement, and Robbery; Pengjiazhai, Tenglong Cave, Suobuya, and Da The scenic spots in Enshi such as Shuijing and Qingjiang Gallery are all presented. "Miao Weiji said that this film is the first opera film to be released in urban theaters in recent years and will be screened in Yinxing, Tianhe and other theaters.

The flash floods destroyed the soon-to-be-completed Dam, the village party secretary burst into tears, this is the true story of that year. The actor Li Mengnan said that he was moved by the power of Sun Zhenglin and the villagers of Yaozhihe Village. "They created a miracle of development in poor, remote, and cold mountain villages."

6. Miao Weiji, the director of the family film "The World Awakened by My Daughter", said that "respecting the elderly and loving the young" is a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. TV series "Mother", "Father", "Family with Nine Phoenixes" " and so on are more devoted to "loving the young" and conveying human affection through selfless fatherly love and broad maternal love, while "respecting the elderly" is rarely mentioned in artistic works.

The theme of "The World Awakened by Daughters" is "respecting the elderly" and being filial to parents and teachers, which are the moral standards that contemporary children and children should strengthen their learning.

7. Thirty years after the reform and opening up, after we have experienced a period of confusion in emotions, family, and career, rebuilding moral values, calling for true feelings, and carrying forward traditions have become our current topics. Recently, there are many works of art that talk about family affection, ethics, family, and morality. However, most of these works focus on love and family affection; while the values ??of life, ethical relationships, and moral norms in our real world are better reflections of our traditional virtues.

The film "Not Concerned" is set in a corner of a modern city. It looks at the changes in good and evil in human nature from a subjective perspective, shows broad love, justice and selfless feelings, conveys family affection, and embodies the true feelings of the world; It reflects people's loss and awakening in the process of social change, and tests today's young people's tolerance for misfortune; it profoundly reveals that love, marriage, and family career must be profound themes that should be based on correct life values. The film is a thought-provoking family, emotional and ethical film.

Chief producer and film director Miao Weiji believes that love is the purest and most beautiful emotion of human beings, and it is also the beginning of the birth of a family. In this film, this emotion has been extended to the most beautiful harmonious family relationship between husband and wife, elders and younger generations. The family is the basic unit of society. If the family is harmonious, the society and the country will be in peace and stability for a long time. Therefore, we encourage husbands and wives to treat each other as equals, respect each other as guests, have a harmonious family, and live in harmony with neighbors.

Having seen the world, he sincerely lamented, "Wuhan has changed a lot in recent years. To some extent, it is no less than Beijing and Shanghai. The Hankou River Beach has both the richness of history and the prosperity of the city."

11. Michael Miu: Producer, well-known film and television director and producer. His representative works include "Interpol", "Trick in the City", "Tear and Blood" and many other film and television dramas.

Nowadays, the cost of completing a film is increasing year by year. Investments of tens of millions of yuan have become commonplace, and some even cost hundreds of millions of yuan. Due to the staged development characteristics of my country's film and television industry, the income of film and television works mainly comes from box office revenue, and the income from peripheral derivatives is not yet mature. Therefore, another important part of the income after the film is released in theaters is the fee for online broadcast rights sold to video websites.

In Miao Weiji's view: "When it comes to film intellectual property rights, what I consider most now is combating online infringement and piracy."

As a well-known producer and director, every work created by Miao Weiji All became targets of piracy by others, and he suffered deeply from infringement and piracy. "For films that rely on box office revenue, it may be difficult to recover costs when faced with piracy. After theaters are offline, the cost of selling to video websites will also shrink due to the existence of piracy. This seriously infringes on rights and investments. If this continues, it will definitely bring a fatal blow to the film and television drama industry in the long run, and it will be difficult for people to see excellent film and television dramas again," said Miao Weiji.

It is understood that due to the increasing diversification of piracy technologies and means, piracy is no longer simply shooting with mobile phones or video recorders. Pirates use various channels to pirate films that have just been released, and some even It is launched simultaneously with the theater. In addition, unauthorized dissemination of film and television dramas through the Internet without permission is constantly prohibited. In particular, some video sharing websites use the name of user uploads to skirt around the law and illegally disseminate video works.

Should we let piracy run rampant, or should we take up legal weapons and resolutely defend our rights? “Fortunately, more and more rights holders are aware of the dangers of infringement and piracy and have joined the army to combat online piracy. In addition, relevant government departments are also constantly improving relevant laws and regulations and increasing the intensity of punishing infringement and piracy. . Compared with previous years, my country's Internet environment has been greatly improved, public copyright awareness has increased, and the cost of purchasing dramas on video websites has soared, creating many "drama kings". I think this is the first step in the film and television industry. Gospel." he said.

Miao Weiji admitted frankly that the crackdown on piracy needs to be strengthened. “When I was safeguarding my rights, I discovered that piracy rarely occurs on well-known video websites. Online piracy mainly exists among some small and medium-sized websites. Due to the low popularity and large number, legal action is too costly and network supervision is difficult. Big. In this regard, I suggest that the entire industry be mobilized to resist piracy, and relevant departments increase penalties so that criminals will not dare to piracy, and provide a relaxed development environment for film and television dramas.
