Arts Studies and Criticism

The director is an important existence in the film knowledge system and the film culture industry. The director system of the film was first introduced from abroad, which was translated and introduced to China by the filmmaker Lu Jie in 1921. After the emergence of the concept of "director", the director theory of Chinese film development has been gradually transformed from spontaneous to conscious, and the concept of "film" which emphasizes film language and the concept of "performance" which emphasizes drama performance have been differentiated. In the ups and downs of the development of the century-old film history, the concept of Chinese directors has continued to develop, and has gradually been sinicized and modernized. The profound changes in the film industry have also gradually developed and changed with the direction of the director's status.
