On September 14, 2019 (August 16, 2019 lunar calendar), Wu Yigong, one of the representatives of the fourth generation of directors in China, passed away. Wu Yigong, one of the representatives of the fourth generation of directors in China, the former vice chairperson of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and the chairperson of the China Film Association, passed away at 7:32 on September 14, 2019 in Shanghai at the age of 80. However, little known is that Mr. Wu Yigong has a deep connection with Ningbo. He once served as the honorary principal and director of Ningbo Shangying Film and Television Art School. In addition, Mr. Wu is very concerned about the cultivation of young performing talents in Ningbo. In 2015, he came to Ningbo for inspection and planned to carry out some public welfare performance projects here. In the end, he failed to make the trip for some reason. It is a pity. Wu Gong Yigong is originally from Hangzhou, Zhejiang. He was born in Chongqing in 1938 and has lived in Shanghai since 1948 He graduated from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy in 1960. Since 1984, he has served as Deputy Director of the Shanghai Film Bureau, Manager of Shanghai Film Corporation, Director of Shanghai Film Studio, Secretary and Director of the Party Committee of Shanghai Film Bureau, Artistic Director of Shanghai Radio, Film and Television Bureau, and Director of Shanghai Studios. Participated in the establishment of the Shanghai International Film Festival. As one of the representatives of the fourth generation of directors in China, Wu Yigong's main film works include: "Our Little Flower Cat", "Night Rain in Bashan", "Old Things in the South of the City", "Sister", "University in Exile", "Young Master's Tribulations", "Returning with the Moon" and "Que Li Family". Among them, "Night Rain in Bashan" won the Best Feature Film Award at the first Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award, and "Old Events in Chengnan" won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Feature Film at the 2nd Manila International Film Festival in the Philippines. This is also the first time that a Chinese film has won an international award after the reform and opening up. A school's feelings hope that Ningbo will become a film and television talent base. In addition to Shanghai, Wu Yigong and Ningbo are also very fated. Sixteen years ago, Wu Yigong, who was already the chairperson of the China Film Association, had another identity in Ningbo - the honorary principal and director of Ningbo Shangying Film and Television Art School. He always wanted to make Ningbo a "East China Film and Television Talent Base" at that time, and said that the most important thing for Ningbo Shangying Film and Television Art School is to cultivate multi- Filmmaking and television are not just about actors, but also about directors, producers, filmmakers, scriptwriters, make-up, costumes, and other people from all walks of life. We in the industry often say that a movie requires 39 professions. The film and television art school in Ningbo is to cultivate practical talents in the film and television industry. "In 2004, Wu Yigong said that practical talents in the film and television industry have reached the point of shortage. The average age of working technicians is 47, and young" blood "is urgently needed to join. Wu Yigong believed at the time that a large number of film and television schools had fallen into a misunderstanding when recruiting students, and blindly emphasized the cultivation of big-name stars, so that many film and television school graduates often could not even find ordinary jobs in film studios. Therefore, what Ningbo Shangying Film and Television Art School strives to create is the real material that can be used. They may not be stars, but they will be the best supporting actors, the best field records, and the best assistants. Why did Shanghai Film Group see Ningbo as a future film and television technical talent base? Wu Yigong also explained the reason in 2004. He said that although Ningbo's relationship with the film and television industry is relatively shallow, there is not even a film and television shooting base that can be praised, but "a piece of white paper can draw the most beautiful pictures." Moreover, many of Shanghai Film's artists are from Ningbo, and they are very concerned about their hometown. In addition, Ningbo's local enterprises have strong funds, are enthusiastic about investing in film and television schools, and have strong government support. Therefore, they decided to build a school in Ningbo. But unfortunately, due to the change of partners, the school was also suspended. "I don't remember the specific year it was suspended. It should have been ten years." An insider confided to the reporter. An expectation of Ningbo's cultural benefits made him miss the winter of 2015 the most. Wu Yigong, who was in his 70s, accompanied Cui Jie, the head of the Shanghai Film Group Actors and Theater Troupe, and a group of more than ten people, to Ningbo Cultural Plaza for business inspection, and planned to use the resources of Shanghai Film to continue to do something for Ningbo. Zhou Chiming, the principal of Ningbo Culture and Art Training Center, received Wu Yigong and his party at that time. On the afternoon of September 14, Zhou Chiming was very shocked and regretful when he heard the news of Wu Yigong's death. He recalls: "In 2015, the Ningbo Cultural and Art Training Center and Shanghai Film Group discussed how to carry out strategic cooperation. At the end of December of that year, Cui Jie, the head of the Shanghai Film Group Actors and Drama Troupe, Wu Yigong, the famous director, Zhao Jing, the famous performing artist, and Zhang Wenrong, the performing artist of Shanghai Film Group, made a special trip to Ningbo Cultural and Art Training Center for inspection." We all agree with the development of micro-films, small theater operations, and children's art performances in Ningbo. "Zhou Chiming said that the old artists are very enthusiastic and willing to bring the resources of Shanghai Film to Ningbo to do some public welfare projects." The cooperation between the two sides is a desirable project. Together, we can achieve cultural benefits for the people, benefit the people, and support the people. Just like the Farmers Film Festival, I hope we can successfully build the first micro-film center. " Zhou Chiming was deeply impressed by what Wu Yigong said at the discussion meeting. "They were very happy with their visit to Ningbo, and they were very satisfied with our hardware, software, and venues." Although Wu Yigong had only been with Wu for a day, Wu Yigong left a deep impression on Zhou Chiming. "He is a touching old artist, and he has no airs at all." Zhou Qiming said that Wu Lao was very kind, and he was particularly concerned about the situation of children's performing arts in Ningbo. "Wu Lao was very thoughtful, and the day we met, he talked about a lot of suggestions." Recalling the meeting with Wu Yigong a few years ago, Zhou Chiming felt like a lifetime away. "It's a pity. Thank you very much for your concern for Ningbo. I wish the old man all the best." ( The original title "Director Wu Yigong died, he left his movie dream in Ningbo", the original author Shi Daiwei.)
