After the screening of "Friendship Above", the director attended the exchange activities and talked about expressing his own views when creating comedies. "Comedy creation can’t be superficial and funny." He thought that the director should start with what he is interested in and good at, and at the same time, he should create what he believes and stories that he agrees with in his outlook on life and values.
Li Da, director of Rent a Boy, also shared his views on comedy after the screening. "Comedy should be able to break through imagination and be creative, but it doesn’t need to be particularly complicated. It’s just a simple story, so that everyone can enjoy it and laugh."
Through the exhibition and exchange of the Australian University of Science and Technology, the Macau International Comedy Festival helps comedies to approach young people, embrace young people and plant the seeds of comedy creation in their hearts. I believe that more inspired young people will join the comedy team in the future, adding strength to the development of comedy.
