When the mind thinks, it echoes.
Before December 30, the famous director Zhang Yimou had won 9 Golden Rooster Trophies. He said: "I really haven't worried about any awards before, and I've really worried about whether I can have a perfect one in the past few days." ”
At the 34th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards ceremony held on the evening of December 30, Zhang Yimou won the Best Director Award for "On the Cliff", which made him "perfect" at the Golden Rooster Awards.
In addition, Zhang Yi and Zhang Xiaofei won the Best Actor and Actress Award for "On the Cliff" and "Hello, Li Huanying"; Fan Wei and Zhu Yuanyuan won the Best Supporting Actor and Actress Award for "One Second" and "My Sister" respectively.
The Golden Rooster Award is not only a review and summary of the excellent works of the past year, but also a touching and profound humanistic care.
Shortly after the awards ceremony began, a sad video was played on the stage screen, rolling over the filmmakers who everyone was familiar with but had left now, Li Qiankuan, Zhang Zhao, Zhao Yingjun...
A total of 19 awards have been set up at this year's Golden Rooster Awards.
In the promulgation of the best directorial debut, Jia Ling's first big movie "Hello, Li Huanying" grossed more than 5.4 billion yuan, which was a big hit to win the championship, but unfortunately lost. Dan Zhen Wangjia won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Directorial Debut for "Drifting with the Wind".
Zhang Xiaofei won back a city for "Hello, Li Huanying", and won the Best Actress of the Golden Rooster Awards for "Hello, Li Huanying" by defeating Liu Mintao, Zhang Zifeng and Liu Haocun, which was also the only award won by "Hello, Li Huanying" that night.
Zhang Xiaofei delivered a speech
Zhang Xiaofei said in his speech: "I once thought that my dream would never be realized, and reality proves that we must firmly grasp the dream and do not give up." Thanks to the director Jia Ling, with all my love and thoughts to make this movie, thank you for handing over your mother to me to act, now it seems that maybe I live up to my trust. Thank you my mom, thank you aunt Li Huanying in heaven, moms, your daughters are all great! ”
Zhang Xiaofei thanked Jia Ling at the award ceremony: "I graduated from film school for a long time and did not really have the opportunity to play female number one, thank her for her bold use of me." But I never gave up on the idea of being a good actor. ”
Zhang Yi successfully won the crown of best actor at this year's Golden Rooster Awards with the role of Zhang Xianchen played in "On the Cliff". His acceptance speech was touching: "I have never taken such a weighty trophy, so I am very nervous and excited." I saw "Red Sorghum" in 1988 at the cinema near Harbin's Central Avenue when I was 10 years old, and after 30 years, that is, when I was 40 years old, I finally walked into the director's screen, called "One Second". Later, when it came to "On the Cliff", Mr. Lin Mu restored the central street, and the director's monitor was on the street where I lived when I was a child, so shooting movies every day was like coming home. In the 40th year of Jinji, he won this very important trophy. I really love movies and I love my profession. ”
Zhang Translation
In the backstage interview of the Golden Rooster Award, Zhang Yi also specifically mentioned Yu Hewei, who is both a partner and a competitor. "I'm sorry for him, I think he's acting better than me, and before I announced it, I felt like I had no hope, and I wanted to choose to give up and lie flat. The best actor in my mind is with Viagra, and I'm sorry, really sorry, that I'll invite him to dinner. ”
But to say that the biggest winner of this year's Golden Rooster Award, Zhang Yimou of "Perfect perfection" is unyielding. Zhang Yimou won the Best Director Award for "On the Cliff", which is his tenth Golden Rooster Trophy. Zhang Yimou went on stage to receive the award, and said emotionally: Filming "On the Cliff", my mother just passed away, she went to my set for more than ten or twenty years to see, I think this perfect, is also for her, this award is also for her. "In Zhang Yimou's view, it is the actor who makes the director, and it is the screenwriter who makes the director, so it is a good thing to have a good script and a lot of good actors to celebrate." The director is a craftsman, and we adhere to the spirit of craftsmanship. ”
Zhang Yimou
In 2021, Zhang Yimou's "On the Cliff" and "One Second" were released, and the two films won a total of 5 trophies of the Golden Rooster Award.
In addition, the film "White Snake 2: Green Snake Robbery" won the best art film, the movie "After 90" won the best documentary/science and education film, the film "Drifting with the Wind" directed by director Dan Zhen Wangjia won the best directorial debut, and the movie "Fish Under the Ice" won the best small and medium cost feature film.
This year's Golden Rooster Awards also added the "Best Foreign Language Film" award, with Zhang Yimou as the guest of honor, and "Father Trapped in Time" won the award. The jury believes that the film is unfolded from the perspective of Alzheimer's patients, and the male protagonist leads the audience to the complex troubles of the character's inner world with a fascinating performance, showing a deep realist humanistic care, expanding the display power of space art in image shaping and plot promotion, and contributing to the innovation of film language.
Shortly after the awards ceremony began, a sad video was played on the stage screen, scrolling with filmmakers who were familiar with the filmmakers who had now left.
With Zhao Yingjun's singing "Send You a Little Red Flower" sounded, the audience was solemn. On February 3 this year, the well-known singer Zhao Yingjun died of illness at the age of 43. His obituary reads: "Mr. Zhao Yingjun is wise and open-minded, optimistic and transparent, pursues his dreams endlessly, advocates rock and roll, and in the days of fighting against illness, he still maintains a positive attitude to face life, and has not stopped exploring music." In the last part of his life, he braved his illness to create "Send You a Little Red Flower", which is also a true portrayal of himself.

On the same day that Zhao Yingjun died, producer Zhang Zhao died at the age of 58. He was the CEO and executive director of LeTV Pictures and was praised by hollywood authorities as the Renaissance standard-bearer of China's film industry. He has participated in the production of many films, and his works as a producer include Zhang Yimou's "Return", "The Great Wall", "Shadow", and Guo Jingming's "Little Times" series.
In an interview before his death, Zhang Zhaozong called himself an "industrial person" rather than a "filmmaker" and wanted to do something to promote the domestic film industry.
There is also a Li Qiankuan who won the award but passed away on August 12 this year. Li Qiankuan is a famous director of Long Film, a national first-class director, and the honorary chairman of the China Filmmakers Association, and won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 34th Golden Rooster Awards of Chinese Film.
Liu Ye
Actor Liu Ye introduced his mentor Li Qiankuan affectionately on the stage, and he recalled Li Qiankuan's teachings to him, asking him to perform honestly, don't play small cleverness, and once said choking. Xiao Guiyun, the director of Li Qiankuan and the famous director of Changying, who sat in the audience, burst into tears, and the whole audience was in awe, touching and unwilling to infect every listener at the scene.
In the end, Xiao Guiyun came to the stage to receive the award on behalf of Li Qiankuan. Li Qiankuan and his wife Xiao Guiyun have worked hard in the film industry for more than 50 years, and have co-directed many popular works such as "The Founding Ceremony", "General Sabre", "Chongqing Negotiations", "July 7 Incident", "Sweet Girl", "The Yellow River", "The Field is a Green Yarn Tent" and many other popular works, and the film "Founding Ceremony" has won five awards such as Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Editor, Best Screenwriter and Best Supporting Actor at the 10th Golden Rooster Awards of Chinese Film.
At the scene, the organizing committee deliberately reserved Li Qiankuan's seat next to Xiao Guiyun, with the Golden Rooster Trophy they had won together before, as well as Li Qiankuan's favorite hat before his death.
