As a personalized form of image production, DV has broken the state that image production has been monopolized by a few elites for more than a hundred years. Image production is no longer the right of a few people. The right to speak in images has been subverted.

"DV movies" can participate in large international film festivals with film carriers as the standard, or can be made and distributed, and screened in cinemas. Strictly speaking, DV video works that have not been "magnetic to glue" cannot be called real "DV movies". Such works are now strangely and awkwardly called "TV movies" in the industry.

Compared with traditional film movies, DV movies have great flaws in color saturation, tolerance, excessive levels, etc.

However, DV also has some of its own characteristics. To explore the essence of DV movies, we must abandon some standards formed by the traditional film industry, including technical standards and aesthetic standards.

Wang Tong thought about it carefully for a while before then he raised his head and looked at Chen Fei: "Okay, then I'll listen to you, start with the DV movie."

"Think about it?"

"Yes." Wang Tong nodded heavily: "I believe in you, so I listen to you."

"Do I want you to write a script?"

"You want it!" Wang Tong answered immediately without thinking.

Chen Fei stood up, searched everywhere at Li Yu's house, and found a brand new notebook and a pen. After that, he sat on the dining table and started writing.

He wrote to Wang Tong the script of Jia Zhang Ke's first DV movie work - a public place.

"Public Places" is a film directed by Jia Zhang Ke and was released in France on November 28, 2003.

In 31 minutes, Public Places successively displays the things it records, which are:

A late-night waiting room at a suburban railway station, a bus station at dusk in the mining area, a bus heading in unknown direction, a small restaurant converted from an abandoned bus, and a waiting room at a long-distance bus station, which combines various functions such as billiards halls and dance halls...

The film also records the people coming and going in these spaces at the moment of shooting, which are: a middle-aged man in a military coat. He waited for a long time, and a train brought him a woman of similar age and a bag of heavy flour.

An old man patiently zipped the shirt behind the iron railings; the car took the old man away, but a young woman was panting; the woman was waiting boredly, and the bells rang under the sky in the mining area; a young man came, they joked and got on the next bus together;

The picture trembled slightly as the car bumped, and the expression on a standing boy's face kept changing, and he could not control his toothache;

As night fell, the business of the bus restaurant gradually became prosperous; in the waiting hall, there was someone playing billiards, and a man and a woman were practicing social dance. In the corner, two men were looking for someone to carve stamps to change documents. Two middle-aged women who collected tickets at the entrance were talking about something from time to time. A bald man was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing sunglasses, with a serious expression, looking around.
