Chapter 77 Awards
In fact, the official attitude towards Xining First Youth Film Festival is neither encouraged nor opposed.
It's like the official targeting of independent movies.
In recent years, the box office results have been getting better and better, and fewer and fewer directors are willing to make independent movies. After all, dreams cannot be used as food, which is why Wang Xiaoshuai insults the theaters in various ways.
What the market needs is always the most mainstream commercial films.
Independent films have indeed not had any exhibitions in recent years. The creations of new directors often follow the paths that their predecessors have walked.
What are the meanings of various long shots and pseudo-documentary films?
"The times are changing. We directors must keep pace with the times, otherwise we will only be eliminated. Just take advantage of the old money and have one or two things like this!"
...
In a blink of an eye, most of the Xining Youth Film Festival has passed, and most of the entries have been released. Although the reviews are both good and bad, there is a general consensus that the quality of this film is a hundred times better than last year!
Although there is no work that stands out from the crowd, the overall quality is quite good!
Because of Wang Jiawei's support, "Happy Mourning" can be confirmed to win two awards: Best Picture and Best Director.
As for the best actor, it is probably awarded to the heroine Sun Yihan of "My Heart" and an actress under Huayi Brothers.
This thing is really not fake, because many movies do not hire professional actors at all, so it is understandable that Sun Yihan can win the award.
Shen Lin participated in the screening of several subsequent movies. Except for "August", he spoke, and he kept silent in the other movies honestly.
"In this era, it's hard to have a movie that allows me to watch quietly!"
It’s useless, Wang Jiawei doesn’t like “August”.
In fact, all the voting sessions have long passed, and all the results have been placed in an envelope.
...
On the 27th, that night, Qinghai Grand Theater.
The biggest advantage of Xining Youth Film Festival is that without a red carpet, there is no need to take photos or something, just go straight to the topic!
There are not many reporters coming and going, but there are already many people in the past two days!
Especially in the view of Li Ziwei, the founder of the film exhibition, so much media attention has set a new record!
Actually, thinking about it, Chen Kun was the ambassador, Wang Jiawei was the chairman, Shen Lin participated for free, and many outstanding filmmakers were invited to come. This level of appeal is hard to match in many film festivals.
"Director Shen, what kind of fresh energy do you think this year's Xining Youth Film Festival will inject into the Chinese film industry?"
"Inject fresh energy? I dare not say that, Xining Youth Film Festival is just a very small film festival. What we are focusing on is just some of the remains that have not been revealed..."
"But last year's "The Maze of Heart" made the entire Xining Youth Film Festival famous, so many well-known actors said they wanted to participate in the new works of these directors..."
"Is that so? That's great, it means that the influence of Xining Film Festival is constantly expanding!"
"So, in your opinion, what movies are worth recommending this year?"
"There are too many. "Happy Mourning", "August" and "My Heart" are all relatively good movies, which are better than 85% of domestic theaters anyway!"
"When will we see these movies in the cinema?"
"This depends on when we can get the Dragon Mark!"
...
That night, Chen Lin also received a task to present awards to the best actor.
"Emphant", which brought surprises to many movie fans during the screening, won the Best Art Exploration Award, and the Best Documentary Award was awarded "Yesterday Rhapsody".
"Entertainment" is a film with a cost of less than 100,000 yuan by the jury as "the hope of future development of Chinese genre films"!
As for "Yesterday's Rhapsody", it shows the subtle relationship between people and history writing and constructing each other.
Before the award of Best Actor, Chen Lin stood on the central stage of the theater: "The future of Chinese films has always been the heart-wrenching knot of those of us who love films. In this newly opened market, it seems that commercial films are sweeping all screens. Movies choose audiences, and audiences also choose movies. In such a movie ecology, the audience who hopes to see more connotational and artistic excellent films are largely swept away and lost screens that can be watched. "The Maze of Heart" is, "Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix" is, and "The Hundred Birds Paying to the Phoenix". In today's era when feelings will be criticized, how do you explain that there are such a group of people struggling for independent films? I hope that it is not only Xin Yukun, but also Degemu, but also more people. In the first, we see the vitality of young people and the hope of Chinese films."
After saying this sensational words, Chen Lin opened the envelope and said, "Best Actor Winner, Sun Yihan, "My Heart is Escaped""
Then I saw the little girl running up in disbelief and taking the crystal brick handed to her by Chen Lin.
At the same time, the audio-visual sound began: 'The mood of a girl in the turbulent youth shows a long-lost comfort, with a rich and youthful layer in every frown and smile, catering to the endless ambiguity in the light.'
"Thank you, thank you director Liu Ziwei, thank you all the colleagues in the crew, thank you judges, I won the award for the first time I acted, so touched..."
Well, you are young, you say whatever you like.
Judges Chairman Wang Jiawei awarded the Best Drama Award for the film "Happy Mourning". Previously, Zhang Tao, director of "Happy Mourning", had won the title of Best Director.
"The film's profound issues about the loss of roots in the transitional stage of society are concerned about; in the realistic context of the collapse of the traditional family structure ethics, there is no trace of excessive criticism, without showing any expression, calm and thorough."
The above is Wang Jiawei’s view on "Happy Mourning".
The Best Short Film Awards and Best Animation Experimental Film Awards were won by "Creation" directed by Radium and "Baligou" directed by Zhao Yi.
In addition to the above, this film festival has a "College Spirit" unit, which displays 12 student short films from 9 first-class cinema schools around the world.
By the way, the "Double Orange" appeared in the jury award-in-the international short film category. This award was jointly won by the Dutch documentary "Between Us" ("among �
The jury believes that these two works shuttle and reflect each other in the reality of life and film, and are an inseparable projection of a corner of real life in Europe, so they both won awards.
Jury Awards - International Feature Films Vacancies.
The jury said that among the works nominated this year, "there is a lack of awareness, forward-looking, free language and mellow techniques in film works. Therefore, after the jury's research and discussion, the award will be vacant this year. Taking this opportunity, the jury also urged the Film Selection Committee to encourage better young filmmakers around the world to independently and actively submit their works to promote international film exchanges."
