"There are various posts involved in filmmaking, such as cinematographers, sound designers, makeup artists, hairstylists. The level of Chinese filmmaking will surely improve if more vocational institutions dedicated to the art form can be established," he said.

He added that the artistic and technical merit of a film could not be achieved solely by a group of creators.

Rather, it is built from each detail and each procedure of filmmaking. Jia also made an appeal to revise the copyright law to allow directors to become the copyright holders of films.

"It is very common practice that film directors are the copyright holders of films in the West. It is important for directors because it would allow them to enjoy the dividends from the copyrights of films," he said.

Jia said that he is on course to write a screenplay, and there is a chance that another film will be put into production by the end of this year.
