On January 5th, the "New Era International Film Festival Golden Yanghua Award", which has attracted much attention in the industry, announced the list of winners in Macao.
In the list, not only 100 outstanding film works were announced, but also 100 filmmakers who have made outstanding contributions to Chinese films will be publicly commended.
Many people are not familiar with the "Golden Yanghua Award", in fact, it is an important award held by the 1978 Excellence Award, mainly through the active and prudent selection and evaluation of the organizing committee, the outstanding works and filmmakers of the past century are commended and encouraged, and the gold content is extremely high.
It is not difficult to see from the list that the first place is "Children of the Storm" in 1935.
Its director, Yuan Muzhi, is known as one of the pioneers and founders of China's film industry, and is also a well-known left-wing progressive filmmaker, who led the construction of the Northeast Film Studio after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
Children of the Storm
As the earliest anti-war feature film, the fame of this "Children of the Storm" is quite loud, and director Yuan Muzhi used the most simple and direct creative means to leave an indelible impression on the audience and has become a well-deserved classic.

And "Furious Case", released in 2021, has also grasped the tail of the times and deservedly entered the shortlist.
This classic Hong Kong war film is the legacy of the famous director Chen Musheng to the audience.
Since the date of release, it has won the box office championship for many consecutive days, with a Douban score of 7.2, which is not only a win-win situation and box office, but also praised by netizens, and is the "most Hong Kong film peak level" movie.
In the film, Nicholas Tse accurately grasps the "rape" of the character and the emotions of the characters.
Let this unkind "Qiu Gang'ao" interpret the evil charm wild and sinister poison to the fullest through different eyes and more micro-expressions.
Unsurprisingly, Nicholas Tse also successfully won the nomination for "Best Supporting Actor" at the 34th Golden Rooster Awards with this role.

Of course, a series of "new main theme movies" such as "Wolf Warrior 2", "Red Sea Action", "Fanghua", "My Motherland and Me", "Eight Hundred", "Chosin Lake" and so on have also successfully dominated the list.
Their corresponding box offices are: 5.695 billion, 3.651 billion, 1.424 billion, 3.170 billion, 3.111 billion and 5.774 billion, respectively.
From these data, it can be seen that the "main theme" movie is not only the "top pillar" of the major schedules, but also the type of film that Chinese audiences preferentially choose to watch.

In the list of winners of the "100 Filmmakers with Outstanding Contributions", Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Li Xuejian, Chen Daoming, Gong Li, Jiang Wen, Ge You, Pan Hong, Zhang Ziyi, Wu Jing, Zhang Hanyu, Jet Li, Hui Yinghong and other "drama bones" are on the list.
These literary and art workers are either diligent and dedicated, or sincerely devoted, or "drama maniacs" or "old drama bones", they defend the dignity of film with their love of performance.
Jackie Chan's highest achievement, known as the "Light of the Chinese", won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, becoming the first Chinese winner of the award.

Andy Lau, on the other hand, is recognized as a "national idol" and has stood in the entertainment industry for 40 years.
He has won the Best Actor Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards three times, the Best Actor Award at the Golden Horse Awards of Taiwan Film two times, and won the "Filmmaker of the Year" award many times.

Wu Jing is "the latecomer to the top".
In recent years, Wu Jing has become not only a "Mr. 10 Billion" but also a "national idol" of the national audience with a series of main theme movies such as "Wolf Warrior", "The Wandering Earth", "King Kong River", "Chosin Lake" and so on, 3 hits in 4 years.

I have to say that the 100 filmmakers commended by the "Golden Yanghua Award" are absolutely deserved.
They either lead by example and make an excellent example for young actors, or they put forward many insights for the development of domestic films.
Personally, I think that the Golden Yanghua Award is still an award with great transparency and credibility, dear netizens, what do you think?
Do you think this list of winners is still well deserved?
