Last update date: 2020-05-11 07:01Under the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic, if the pause button is pressed all over the world, work and daily life must be stopped. For many people, this is a grim situation, but for Owen Jie, who has won the "Best Director" of the Hong Kong Film Awards, the epidemic has brought rest space to the creators and has more time to calm down and create, Do data gathering.
"Actually, this time it will have a good impact on me, and I will do more intensive cultivation," Owen Wen said bluntly that the epidemic creates opportunities for thinking and makes creativity more powerful. However, he also understands that many people in the industry face the zero-income dilemma, and proposes that people in the industry may temporarily transform to try different jobs. "I propose that this kind of slapstick is made, but there is a saying that" the poor changes, the change "Change your mindset or have other gains."
The film industry series for survival in the epidemic:

Reflective creation in an epidemic situation: Adversity is even more forced to come out
"Ten Years" and "Shu Da Zhao Feng" are representative local movies in recent years. Owen Jie is also one of the directors of the two sets of films. He also won the "Best Director" award for the "Shu Da Zhao Feng". He has won many awards, but he is very forthright, putting on slippers for interviews; speaking straightforwardly, and laughing from time to time.
He explained in an interview with "Hong Kong 01" that because of the different positions in the film industry, behind-the-scenes personnel can participate in the shooting of three to four sets of films a year, but the creators such as directors may have a set of works in two to three years. Therefore, the epidemic has more positive impact on him, and he has more time to create. "The data collection has no big impact, but can reflect on the creation point."
In the face of adversity, Ou believes that it can inspire creativity more: "Peace and prosperity, heh, heh, ha, ha, and too much will be taught. Comfort is not necessarily the most ideal creative environment, and adversity is even more forced to come out." The epidemic situation also changed the normal working mode. Owen Jie described the past as a "trapped beast fight", and other creators kept collecting information in the office. At present, you can stay at home and communicate in a visual way. "Take the line when you are done, and take more time to watch the film and do other things."
Some (work) may not be the same as the essence, but when you can change your mindset, you may get others, especially if you talk about life to the creator, it is art, and Hong Kong people are more famous and flexible.
Owen JieHebei government support must be timely
The Hong Kong government did not help the movie industry much during the epidemic. Europe believes that the Hong Kong movie industry has too many constraints for investors. "It is hard to make money and is unhappy. Too many investors are discouraged." There are more policy support, such as tax exemption. In the short term, support should be provided to the film industry, especially those who are "unemployed", but Europe emphasizes that support must be timely. "A plant will die. Is it useful to shower with water after three months?"
Four years of zero income in "Shu Da Zhao Feng"
He believes that filmmakers should not expect the government ’s subsidy to solve the urgent problem, but should think about or can transform to try other jobs first, and laughed and said, "I ’m being honest!" Ou took his example as an example and frankly wrote "Take the Wind" There are four years of zero income, so tutoring for children, filming in accountants' offices and teaching in universities, etc. "Everyone feels like it's like, obviously I am a director and screenwriter."
But in the process of part-time work, Europe has gotten different. "Putting Mandarin to help children use Mandarin, so I first had the idea of creating" Dialect "in" Ten Years "; the accountant building had to wear a suit while filming the film. He encouraged his peers to change their mindsets or gain other gains, although the nature of their other jobs is different from the film industry.
I hope that the industry can now "plow the field from scratch"
Co-productions in Hong Kong and the Mainland have emerged in recent years, but co-productions in the epidemic will be the first to be suspended. Owen Jie believes that co-production is not a problem, and it can provide an additional opportunity for the industry, but if only co-productions are left, or if the co-productions reduce the number of local movies, the problem only appears. "What is the way out of the co-production film? I believe that the industry will return to Hong Kong after experiencing social movements and epidemics, because the mainland's funds, or may have a bad taste for Hong Kong directors."
Ou described the Hong Kong film as a "slim field", and hoped that the industry could "plow the field from the beginning, but not only relying on a new generation of directors, but also relying on the return of seniors to promote Hong Kong films." He refers to new and old directors making more local movies together and re-establishing the Hong Kong film brand.
