Golden Rooster Award Special Series Planning ｜ A New Journey of Striving for Harmony with Golden Rooster

Special feature of 1905 film network In the next few days, the special planning series of the 35th China Film Golden Rooster Award of Today Film Review will follow the footsteps of this year’s Golden Rooster with the audience, and tour the excellent domestic films together. Through the light and shadow, we will look back on China’s self-confidence and China’s strength in the works, and strive for a new journey with the Golden Rooster. This issue focuses on the six best feature films nominated by the Golden Rooster Award. As a new benchmark for China films, what kind of China story will impress the audience?

This year’s Golden Rooster Award for Best Feature Film has been nominated by the jury. Why can they stand out from many films? Yin Hong, a professor at Tsinghua University, said: "These six films reflect the best level of film creation in China in the past year. Military action films include The Battle at Lake Changjin and Sniper, thematic tribute films include Me and My Father, and realistic works include Life Events, Love Myth and Miracle Stupid Child. A wide range of themes and diversified styles represent the main characteristics of China films in recent years. "

The six films nominated are a manifestation of the diversity of China’s films, and you will find that, like Love Myth and Life Events, they are all directors’ first films. After combing the previous Golden Rooster Awards, in fact, few new directors’ works can be shortlisted for the best film lineup. On the one hand, it reflects the phenomenon of successors in China films, and the younger generation of filmmakers began to take over and become the main force of China films; On the other hand, it also shows that the Golden Rooster Award, as a professional award, is selected according to the degree of innovation of artistic works.

Yin Hong said: "Like" Love Myth ",people don’t really believe that it is a debut. Its audio-visual language is so mature, the deployment of actors is very complete, and the actors perform their roles brilliantly, and every scene is very vivid; The whole art scene deployment of "Life Events" is full of fireworks in the process of flowing on the streets of Wuhan. You will feel that the younger generation of directors, due to the richness of the media, are growing and maturing faster than before, and it is easier to talk and integrate with the most advanced audio-visual language and create their own style. "

Love Myth and Life Events are not only directors’ first films in common, but also small-scale films. As a professional award, the Golden Rooster Award pays more attention to the artistic completion of the film on the premise of correct thinking, and has nothing to do with the cost itself. From the market point of view, the six nominated films have performed very well, which also shows that not only the Golden Rooster Award is choosing films with high artistic completion, but now the audience is becoming more and more mature and aware of what a good film is. A really good movie has nothing to do with the cost, but pays more attention to the penetration of emotion and the resonance of the audience.

The nominated Love Myth, Life Events, Sniper, and Miracle Stupid Child, which tells the story of Qian Qian’s desperate struggle outside, have one thing in common, all of which are small-incision narratives. In recent years, China filmmakers have been deepening the people-centered creative orientation. In their works, they don’t necessarily have to describe the great man or the heroic image of Gao Daquan, but more often show ordinary life, including ordinary people in a great event, and how they can play their role in a great historical stage. Yin Hong mentioned: "This also reflects the needs of the audience. Now many ordinary people are willing to watch ordinary people stand up and take responsibility in life, including the courage to face crises, hardships and challenges. These works all have this feature."

In the past two years, we can see that the main melody films have become more and more popular and popular. Among the six best feature films shortlisted for this year’s Golden Rooster Award, there are three main melody films, namely "My Father and I", "Sniper" and The Battle at Lake Changjin, all of which have their own characteristics.

Me and my parents

"My Father and I" is an important tribute work after the founding of the Party for a hundred years. Several directors presented their best and most familiar styles to the audience, and the audience saw a collection of films with different styles in one film.

Snipers

Sniper is a war genre film with a small incision narrative, which reflects the new exploration of China filmmakers in war genre films. Different from the grand war scenes movies in the past, a small battle action can now be made into a genre film, which is gripping and full of twists and turns.

The Battle at Lake Changjin

The Battle at Lake Changjin, on the other hand, is a film that embodies the production level of China’s film industry. It has achieved very high results in characterization, scene design, narrative ability, audio-visual stimulation and impact, and it is really gratifying at the box office. It can be said that The Battle at Lake Changjin has presented the best level that China’s film industry has reached at present.

The finalists of this year’s Golden Rooster Award represent the responsibility and responsibility of filmmakers in the new era to strut, work hard and move forward bravely. In the next journey, what kind of film works will China film workers use to better express the spirit of the times and enhance the spiritual strength of the people? What kind of China story can better impress the audience? Yin Hong said: "The 20th National Congress put forward many requirements in its report, which are to enhance cultural self-confidence and self-reliance and enhance China’s cultural influence. This is an important creative direction for filmmakers. It is necessary to explore the themes that can bring spiritual support to the people in China’s history and reality, and present them in movies. It is necessary to better take root in life, be familiar with history, and better grasp the development context of the big pattern of the times. While highlighting the creation of the main theme, let it resonate with contemporary audiences, and show the world a respectable, credible and lovely image of China through the presentation of these events and characters. "

Golden Rooster and Singing, striding on a new journey, among the six films nominated this time, the most intuitive feeling is the deep feelings of home and country, the warmth of home, and the confidence of the country. At the same time, it also allows us to see China’s past, present and future. I hope that in the future, China will become more and more broad on the road of becoming a film power, and can produce more excellent films to meet the audience’s demand for watching movies, and at the same time show the world the beauty of films that belong to China alone.
