In the past few days, the news of Hequ Youth Sugong Haodong was spread by the interview with CCTV's "Focus Interview" column, and his hometown people liked him. The film "Night Coming" directed by Tan Haodong won the "Excellent Production Award" of the 12th Beijing International Film Festival Project Venture Capital.

On August 20, the twelfth Beijing International Film Festival ended on the banks of Yanqi Lake in Beijing. After twelve years, the Beijing International Film Festival has grown into an important force of world movies, and it has also set up a bridge between China to communicate with the world movie. Since the epidemic, the film industry has encountered great difficulties. This year, thanks to the implementation of a number of governments' relief policies, signs of recovery in the film industry began to appear.

In the face of the century's epidemic, this year's Beijing International Film Festival set the theme as "concentric and deeds." Not only does the North Film Festival make Chinese and foreign filmmakers more closely condensed together, it also provides more young people who love movies with the stage of display.

After three rounds of fierce competition, although Quan Haodong failed to get the investment of the product, his work "Night Complete" won the "Excellent Production Award" of the project venture capital. He also exposed many investment institutions and production companies through this platform, and he has achieved a closer step to his dream.

In 2012, he entered the film industry in 2012. In the past ten years, he has been a recording recorder, tunnel, director, and a screenwriter. He used to work in the mine to accumulate filming funds for a year; he also participated in the exhibition to find opportunities. This time, in three months, his work "Night Is Coming" reached the final from 853 venture capital projects.

In an interview with CCTV reporters, Xuan Haodong said: "I have several script projects now, and I can shoot these projects in the future. This is my greatest expectation."

Those who are familiar with Kan Haodong said that this Shanliwa from the small county has stepped onto the international film festival step by step, and grew up into an emerging young director. It was not easy, but it was not surprising.

Xuan Haodong was born in an ordinary peasant family in Shaping Village, Qu County. His father is a coal mine worker. In his thoughts, graduating from the child's school to work in coal mine is the way out. So when he graduated from Hao Haodong, he obtained the mining major of Datong University and completed his university dream. In the second year of college, Jia Zhangke, director of Shanxi, showed its style in the film industry. At that time, whether it was on the screen or the film director on the magazine, they were showing another broad and colorful world to Haodong.

That world is shining, with the charm of the small town of Jinbei, which is different from his life. As a result, his director's dream was embossed. He collaborated with several classmates, directed the first film "Youth No Regret" in his life, and received praise from the audience. Since then, Sugao Haodong has been devoted to his own movie world. His works such as "Blind Blind" and "The Shepherd by the Yellow River" filmed by He Qu have been recognized by professionals. This time, his work "Night is Coming" won the "Excellent Production Award" of the project venture capital at the Beijing International Film Festival, which was even more affirmed to him.

During the interview, Sugao Haodong said: "My earliest creative inspiration came from my hometown, and later I thought about going to other places to shoot, but I always felt that I did n’t take more free, more familiar, and my own ideas. The first movie is my first movie. It may be released on the national cinema next year. I hope that the father and fellow of my hometown can see this movie and like it. "

Tan Haodong said that he likes to record the local customs of his hometown with a real shot, and make more people like the place of Hequ, the people and stories here through the movie. No matter how deeper the mountains can't cover the morning sun, no matter how far away, they can't stop the footsteps of the dreamer. The persistent pursuit of the film stems from his persistence when he faces difficulties, and the "death" without hesitation. In the process of realizing his dreams, although he has experienced countless hardships, Xuan Haodong still goes forward and is unsatisfactory.

Hequ is the hometown of Chinese folk art. It is located in the intersection of grassland culture and Central Plains culture. It is known as the "three provinces of chickens". Here, the water of the Yellow River gathers the soul soup of the Jin and Shaanxi culture, and the folk songs of the west are far away from the village sounds. The typical Loess Plateau landforms in He Qu constitute the unique natural and human landscape here, attracting many tourists at home and abroad, and also become a focus of shooting outside scenes in the film and television industry. Forty years ago, the famous director Xie Jin made a movie "Ah! "Cradle" has won the Ministry of Culture's Outstanding Film Award. After that, more than 20 films and television crews such as "Decisive Battle", "Glacier Death Line", "The Place of the Yellow River" and "The Yellow River Man" came here to shoot here.

In the past two decades, there are more than 80 film and television works such as movies, TV series, music and television, music and television films filmed in He Qu. Essence He Qu made film and television producers shine, and film and television producers have injected a new spiritual vitality into the soil and soil of He Qu.

Young directors such as Tan Haodong have experience in short filming, and under the guidance of professional mentors to carry out creation, accept training, and attract investment, they are growing up to professional talents in the film industry step by step.

Li Weiqiang, chairman of Poly Film Investment Co., Ltd., said: "A film work has a long process from creative incubation to forming film. Creative incubation, as well as expert evaluations, and investment to encourage young creators to create. I think Chinese films will be passed on in the future. It has gradually become an important platform for the Chinese and foreign film industry transactions and comprehensive promotion, and has also become a booster for the development of the film industry. As of now, the Beijing International Film Festival has promoted a total of 346 key projects to negotiate the contract. The market signing amount has jumped from 2.794 billion yuan in the first session to 35.223 billion yuan in the eleventh, and the cumulative exceeded 200 billion yuan.

Yu Junsheng, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee, said: "I think the future direction and focus are to continue to innovate and combine industrial development. We must strive to build the Beijing International Film Festival into a vane of the national film industry and become the high Chinese film industry. The powerful engine of quality development has created an important hub for Chinese movies and world movies, and the best temple for people to enjoy film art. "

Faced with the global epidemic challenge, the Chinese film market took the lead in recovery. According to data released by the National Film Bureau, as of 16:38 on August 13, my country's 2022 summer box office reached 7.382 billion yuan, exceeding the summer of 2021. The film market has a good momentum. Behind the achievements is not only the strong support of the government's resumption of work, but also the result of the film industry reform over 20 years. "Concentrics, the family inside and outside the Great Wall is as close as a family; the road is long, the road will eventually arrive." With 20 years of reform, there are extensive Chinese and foreign exchanges, we will definitely see more and more excellent works from Chinese filmmakers.

At this year's North Film Festival, there are more than 300 young directors with short film shooting experience like Sugao Haodong. I believe they will become the future new forces of the film industry. Since the establishment of the North Film Festival's project in 2012, 37 works have been incubated from 108 final review projects, and the incubation rate has reached 34%.
