Acting as a deputy to the National People's Congress for three years from Jianyan film to Jianyan people's livelihood
Jia Zhangke: The motion "break the circle" approaching the elderly
As a deputy to the National People's Congress for three years, Jia Zhangke has increasingly entered the state. His motion this year can be described as "breaking the circle", which has aroused people's attention and attracted netizens' applause.
According to CCTV's "Cultural Culture" report, Jia Zhangke, NPC deputy and film director, submitted to the reality that the elderly in second- and third-tier cities and rural areas are unable to use smart phones to shop online, pay online, and carry out online social activities. A bill on how to allow the elderly to enjoy a digital life and live in their old age.
As a filmmaker, Jia Zhangke's motion this time seems to be closer to people's livelihood, and is no longer limited to the film industry. In this regard, Jia Zhangke said in an interview with CCTV that his deepest feeling is to seek truth from facts, and he should have a more sensitive feeling about all aspects of society.
"Problems" found in the epidemic
In fact, the proposal that the elderly enjoy the digital life and live in their old age comes from everything Jia Zhangke felt during the epidemic. During the epidemic, Jia Zhangke participated in the short film project of Thessaloniki International Film Festival in Greece. The three-minute video work "Visit" created with a mobile phone showed a different kind of life during isolation. The work was completely completed in the indoor space. Jia Zhangke revealed that he used a mobile phone, a computer, and finished the short film in one day. Later, his partners used the simplest software to complete the film in their homes.
In Jia Zhangke's view, the filming method of the film's subject in the past was aggregated and labor-intensive. However, the Greek Thessaloniki Film Festival has the theme of "space", which is a limitation, as is isolation. There is a limitation, and it is also a limitation to make movies under today's conditions. "So, within such limits, being able to make movies, even for two or three minutes, I think to some extent can also be called the victory of life. They show that no matter what difficult situation, human beings Thoughts can still breathe freely through movies. "
In addition, Jia Zhangke also wrote and read books during the epidemic, gave online lessons to the students of the Vancouver Film Academy, and discussed the preparations for the new Pingyao Film Festival through online meetings. Digitization made Jia Zhangke feel the necessity and convenience of intelligence and digitization in this era , But he also sensitively realized that what about those people who cannot get close and operate digitalization?
Carrying a sense of responsibility, Jia Zhangke thus found "problems" in the epidemic. The practical difficulties require us to be able to face them and solve them.
"Warm man" approached the "old man circle"
Jia Zhangke conducted research in Shanxi and Beijing. "In Shanxi, we found that there are some old comrades who don't even have a smartphone. In Beijing, this situation may be less, like pinyin in Shanxi is not enough, so you can't type."
On the eve of the two sessions, Jia Zhangke came to the Taipingzhuang North Community in Chaoyang District, Beijing to investigate the use of smart devices in life by many retired elderly people. There are more than 8,000 permanent residents in this community, and the elderly are over 60 years old. More than 2,000 people.
It can be seen in the show that Jia Zhangke is like a "warm man", who looks at the problem from the perspective of the elderly. For example, the old people say that they can't use the mobile phone directly, and someone needs to guide it.
According to Jia Zhangke's research, nearly half of the elderly who live alone do not adapt to smart living requirements such as online payment, online registration, and online car rental. These elderly people who are unwilling to use smartphones, on the one hand, have concerns about the safety of funds and personal information; on the other hand, they are not with their children and are not trained or taught, so it is difficult to adapt to the new model of Internet life.
Jia Zhangke believes that this is closely related to the changes in Chinese lifestyle. Although many elderly people have mobile phones, they do not have a good grasp of the related functions, which brings great inconvenience to life. For example, there is less cash now. If you do n’t understand digital payment, it ’s really impossible. He felt that there might be an auxiliary method in this regard to provide such a help and support.
The Internet life of the elderly is no longer "marginalized"
To this end, Jia Zhangke submitted a bill on "Helping the Elderly Enjoy the Digital Life" at the two sessions this year. He called on all sectors of society to participate, so that the elderly's online life is no longer "marginalized."
Jia Zhangke also hopes that the community can take the initiative to help seniors "train", and provide online services for seniors, online interest groups, and volunteer online services to facilitate their integration into the digital life in a convenient way that suits their special lives and mental states. In addition, the community can mobilize volunteers. Normally set up some volunteers. They can call or face-to-face. When old friends encounter these problems, someone can find them.
In the past three years, Jia Zhangke has submitted proposals focusing on the cultivation of cultural and creative talents, the protection of copyright rights, the popularization of barrier-free movie watching and the digital life of the elderly. At the 17th meeting of the Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress held on April 26 this year, in the process of soliciting opinions from various parties in preparation for the revision of the Copyright Law, Jia Zhangke submitted the "About Copyright The law gives the rights of directors and screenwriters of audiovisual works and the right to make profits ". This is an incentive for Jia Zhangke, and he is more determined to focus on people's livelihood, convey public opinion, and do his best to perform his duties for the people.
