On November 29, the nomination list of the 34th Golden Rooster Awards was released, and Zhang Yimou was nominated for best director for the movie "On the Cliff", which is the second time he has nominated for the Golden Rooster Best Director after 17 years.
Zhang Yimou was last nominated for the Golden Rooster For Best Director or the film Ten Faces Ambush, starring Zhang Ziyi, Andy Lau and Jin Chengwu, which is a costumed martial arts theme that tells the love-hate relationship between two headhunters and a maiko in the torrent of the times. The film's vivid tones are very impactful, very Zhang Yimou's style, and many classic shots are still widely circulated today.
After the release of "On the Cliff", it also gained good popularity, and was previously confirmed by the mainland to be selected as the best international film competing for this year's Oscars. The film tells the thrilling journey of a team of secret agents to carry out a secret mission of Utra for the country in the 1930s, and the spy war plot is tense and exciting, and the tear-jerking scenes of life and death are even more moving.
Zhang Yimou was shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award again with "On the Cliff" this time, which is indeed not surprising. In addition to best director, "On the Cliff" also received five nominations for Best Feature Film, Best Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Sound Recording and Best Art, many of which are heavyweight awards, which shows the quality of "On the Cliff".
It is worth mentioning that there are two people nominated for best actor in the "On the Cliff" crew, namely Yu Hewei and Zhang Yi, both of whom are hot at the moment, and Yu Hewei just won the Best Actor Award for Magnolia Award this year with "The Age of Awakening".
Zhang Yi won the Golden Eagle Award and the Magnolia Award for Best Actor with "Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky", and also won the Best Actor of the Golden Rooster by "Dear".
I don't know who will win the honor of the Movie Emperor this time?
