Hosted by director He Ping and film critic Zhou Raymond, the first session featured Chinese director Feng Xiaogang and writer Liu Zhenyun talking about the importance of finding the right story.
They agreed that every director faces the problem of how to come up with a great story but Liu believed knowledge and experience mattered more than just finding the story.
"If someone is very knowledgeable, he can find a story that suits him," Liu said. "After the story is found, his experience will influence which direction the story goes, and its depth will definitely be linked to his knowledge."
Feng talked about his new film Remembering 1942. In order to develop the story, he took his team on a trip to Henan, Shanxi and Chongqing.
"I think this film will let us know where we come from," Feng said. "Looking back, our people are full of disasters. When we know where we come from, we will know the path before us."
In discussing how to tell the world a Chinese story, Feng said it didn\'t matter too much as people often misunderstood that we are very important, which, in fact, we are not.
"It\'s not a matter of us telling a story to the world, but whether the world has the interest to listen to our story," he said.
The second session of the summit was joined by producer Gary Kurtz, director and screenwriter Nicholas Meyer, Phoenix Pictures Chairman Mike Medavoy and Shanghai Film Group President Ren Zhonglun.
Kurtz, who has produced Star Wars, said the priority of making a film was to like it, because the size of the target audience is unknown before shooting.
Hollywood has always been good at telling stories about ordinary people, but now their stories are for the whole world to consume, just like candy, Meyer said.
