Cinematographer Qian Tiantian, a trailblazer in a male-dominated field, recently opened up about her career evolution from her debut film '1942' to her latest project 'The Traveler' in an exclusive interview with CGTN. Her story? A mix of grit, creativity, and the power of collaboration.
Speaking with reporter Yang Yan, Tiantian stressed that behind every cinematic masterpiece is a team effort. 'It’s not just about the lens—it’s about people,' she shared, reflecting on her journey navigating film sets across genres. From historical epics to modern dramas, her work thrives on real-world authenticity, something she says demands 'listening, learning, and losing sleep.'
While the glitz of film festivals might dazzle audiences, Tiantian’s focus stays grounded: 'Capturing truth in a scene is like catching lightning in a bottle—rare, electric, and worth every challenge.' For young filmmakers, her advice? Embrace the grind. After all, the best stories aren’t just told—they’re lived.
