On the 5th, the organizing committee of the "New Era International Film Festival • Golden Yanghua Award" issued a notice in Macao to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and announce the public commendation of 100 Chinese films.
This year's Golden Yanghua Award, the films won include "The Eternal Electric Wave" (1958), "Red Sorghum" (1987), "Gathering Number" (2007), "Generation Grandmaster" (2013), "I Am Not a Medicine God" (2018), "On the Cliff" (2021), "Chosin Lake" (2021), etc., the time span from 1958 to the present, the film's themes cover a wide range, including war, action, business, suspense and so on.
As the soul of a work, screenwriters are actually the group that should be paid the most attention, but because of the influence of all aspects, the status of Chinese screenwriters in the entire film and television industry is very low, even inferior to third- and fourth-line stars, which is the burial of talents and the sadness of the entire film and television industry.
In order to improve the current situation and promote the benign development of the entire film and television industry, the "100 Filmmakers with Outstanding Contributions" selection initiated by the "New Era International Film Festival Golden Yanghua Award" attaches great importance to the identity of screenwriters, and a total of 13 famous screenwriters have entered the award list.
The list of winning screenwriters includes Fang Xiayan, Tian Han (representative works "March of the Volunteer Army" and "The Death of Famous Talents"), Yang Hansheng (representative works "Sanmao Wandering", "Iron Plate Red Tears"), Yuan Muzhi (representative works "Children of the Wind and Clouds", "Road Angel", Huang Zongjiang, Lu Zhuguo, Zhang Hongsen (representative works "Western Police", Wang Xingdong, Han Zhijun, Zhang Ji, Li Pingfen, Zhao Baohua ("My French Years", "Guarding Childhood"), Fang Yihua, Zhai Junjie.
Almost all of them are screenwriters of the previous generation, and the works they create are not commercial films or traffic films, but the quality of their works can stand the test of time.
"Children of the Wind" and "Road Angel" were films released in 1935 and 1937 respectively, while Douban was a website established in 2005, after the establishment of Douban, "Children of the Wind and Clouds" scored 7.1 points on it, and "Road Angel" was as high as 8.5 points.
"My French Years" is a movie released in 2004, and after the establishment of Douban, it still has a rating of 7.5 points on it.
None of these screenwriters nor works should be forgotten, on the contrary, they should be remembered.
The director can be said to be the core figure of a work, so the director's award is of course indispensable.
The directors who won the honor of "100 Filmmakers with Outstanding Contributions" are all leaders of different eras in the Chinese film industry, they are Xie Jin, Wu Yusen, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Lin Chaoxian, Jia Zhangke, Liu Weiqiang, Xu Ke, Han Sanping, Guan Hu and others, many of whom are familiar to us.
Lin Chaoxian, Liu Weiqiang, Xu Ke, these three directors have exported a series of acclaimed and acclaimed masterpieces for the Hong Kong film industry, and after they came north to the mainland in recent years, they also quickly adapted to the environment and market of the mainland, and exported the acclaimed and well-received "Red Sea Action", "Captain China", "Chosin Lake" and other movies.
People with real strength can adapt to any kind of environment, and can also make achievements in any kind of environment, and Lin Chaoxian, Liu Weiqiang, Xu Ke, their achievements are the results of their entire life struggle, of course, they should be given a commendation.
From the award-winning works, to the screenwriters, to the directors, the "New Era International Film Festival Golden Yanghua Award" profoundly reflects its fairness, impartiality, and credibility, and it even "sells" feelings, so that forgotten works, screenwriters, and directors return to the public vision.
The motivation for "selling" feelings of "New Era International Film Festival Golden Yanghua Award" is not only a recognition of the relatively pure film and television era in the past, but also a denial of the current impetuous film and television era.
Only a pure heart can create a classic work that lasts for a long time, and the work created by the impetuous heart will be vulnerable.
