Li Shaohong's contribution to the Chinese film and television industry is not only reflected in the dedication of film works such as "Bloody Morning" and "Red Pink" to the audience, nor in the production of classic masterpieces such as "Daming Palace Ci" and "Orange is Red". From 2011 to 2023, Li Shaohong directed the president of the China Film Directors Association, and has made a lot of contributions to the development of Chinese films and young directors.
From 1988's "Silver Snake ** Case" At the beginning, Li Shaohong's directorial career has been nearly 40 years, in her directorial career, she has created a lot of diverse types and different styles of works, at the same time, Li Shaohong is also a film activist, a deep love for film filmmakers, but also the leader of many young directors, in the past ten years as the president of the China Film Directors Association, she launched the Green Onion Project to insist on delivering talented young directors for the film industry, and at the same time she is running for the Directors Association in various important activities, while hosting such as "The tide is endless." Shadow Lantern Forever: Wanma Tseden Commemorative Retrospective Exhibition" and other types of film festival activities, it can be said that they have made great efforts for the development of the film industry.
In the more than ten years that Li Shaohong has served as the president of the association, behind a series of achievements of the Directors Association, director Li Shaohong's dedication is obvious to all. Some people believe that these industry-oriented transactional work also takes up director Li Shaohong's energy, reducing her time for artistic creation. In this regard, director Li Shaohong has repeatedly said that film and television creation itself needs precipitation and thinking time, she said: "I always say that movies have a growth period, and if the gestation process is not enough, it is difficult to make a good movie." I haven't had many films, and now I'm still in this state, I must have been brewing until I think I can make them, otherwise if I am not ready, my heart will be empty, and I can't form a more figurative appearance in my mind, so I feel that I haven't thought it through, and I will continue to let it ferment. Therefore, I did not let the director's work affect my own shooting plan, on the contrary, because of the director's work, I have more opportunities and new perspectives to reflect on my own shortcomings. ”
Recently, I am also pleased to see that Li Shaohong has dedicated such an excellent female film as "There Is Her in the World" to the audience, and her drama "Hunting", which has been prepared for three years, has also been successfully completed and entered the post-production process, and will meet the audience soon. Li Shaohong also has her own exclusive experience as a director, she summed up the director's work in one word, that is, "shooting", for young directors, director Li Shaohong insisted on helping young people solve the most important link of "shooting". And this link actually involves the entire film industry chain, and it is also the most difficult part of the whole movie. Therefore, the core of the Green Onion Project launched by the Directors Association is the step of "shooting", and this is also the biggest help that Li Shaohong has brought to young directors for more than ten years.
Director Li Shaohong believes that all she and the Directors Guild have done is to teach people to fish, "We help young directors become real directors, not become directors for you, and the final work still has to go through the efforts of young directors." Young people don't just have dreams, but they need to come out on their own and make your dreams come true. Thanks to a leader like Li Shaohong in the film industry, the "dream" can take root and sprout in this industry.
