Award winning record

Character evaluation

Li Qiankuan has a bright smile, and the free and easy character revealed in his energetic speech and manner has an invisible appeal (review of Journal of Beijing Film Academy). He is a director who is good at making important subjects. The few films he made that reflect the life of ordinary people also show extraordinary boldness and courage, that is, he has the courage to reveal social contradictions and expose ugly phenomena. His film creation is no longer satisfied with being able to narrate a story from beginning to end. In his creation, when telling a story, he also wants to be more beautiful and more poetic. At the same time, he tries to let the audience get some philosophical thinking when watching. Therefore, his choice of scenes, the scheduling of scenes and the composition of pictures, are carefully designed (review of film literature).
