Following the opening of the application channel for each award unit of the ninth "Wenrong Award", the organizing committee of the 2022 Hengdian Film and Television Festival has sent a message to officially announce the list of the jury of the ninth "Wenrong Award". The famous director Guan Hu served as the chairman of this year's jury, and Ren Dahua, Liu Ye, Huo Tingxiao, Luo Pan, Tian Yusheng, Qi Xi, Tianxia Ba Singing, and Xu Tianfu served as judges.
The Hengdian Film and Television Festival, which began in 2012, has been leading the new trend of the film and television industry. One of the most interesting events, the Wenrong Awards, has been held for eight years. As a representative of the industry film and television festival awards, the "Wenrong Award" has become a "big parade" of the original new generation of the film and television industry, as well as a dream stage for the concentrated presentation of film and television innovation forces.
The purpose of the establishment of the "Wenrong Award" is to encourage film and television enterprises to produce more and better film and television works, discover and support new film and television talents, and participate in the promotion of excellent film and television works to further promote the prosperity of the film and television industry. This year's "Wenrong Award" continues to adhere to the selection criteria of openness, fairness, authority, and ning que, and is judged by authoritative film and television practitioners such as well-known directors, actors, screenwriters, artists, and cameras as members of the jury to ensure that this year's "Wenrong Award" gives young filmmakers a "serious look" from a professional and cutting-edge perspective, focusing on light and shadow, and shining into the future.
The chairman of the jury of the previous "Wenrong Award" has gathered Gao Xixi, Zheng Xiaolong, Tang Guoqiang, Hou Hongliang, Li Shaohong, Yu Dong, Huang Jianxin, Zhang Guoguo and other well-known directors, producers and actors. The chairman of this year's jury is the famous director Guan Hu, who in his early years has launched films such as "Hair Is Messed Up", "Get on the Car, Let's Go", "Xi Shi Eye", and the TV series such as "Black Hole", "Winter Solstice", "Seven Days", "Migrant Workers of Survival" and so on are also extremely influential, and his works are sharp, vivid and have a strong humanistic care spirit. In 2009, he won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award at the 46th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards for the movie "Bullfighting". After that, his films "Killing", "Cook Drama Leper", "Old Cannon" and so on won many domestic and international awards. In recent years, his works "My Motherland and Me", "Eight Hundred", "King Kong Chuan" and so on have also had a great impact, and the word-of-mouth box office has been double-harvested.
At the same time, the famous actors Ren Dahua and Liu Ye also helped. Ren Dahua is a representative of a generation of Hong Kong filmmakers, who has filmed more than 400 film and television works for more than 40 years, and won the "best" 21 times in various international film and television festivals and exhibitions. Liu Ye is one of the most powerful actors in the Mesozoic Generation in China, and has won many best actor awards such as the Golden Rooster Award, the Golden Horse Award, and the Golden Jue Award with his superb acting skills. This time, the two will professionally judge the new works of the newcomers of the "Wenrong Award" from the perspective of senior actors.
In addition to senior actors, the jury of the 9th "Wenrong Award" also includes well-known professional creators such as screenwriters, artists, and videographers. The addition of Huo Tingxiao, president of the China Film Art Society, Luo Pan, a famous photographer, and Tianxia Basing, a famous screenwriter and writer, has undoubtedly broadened the industry's in-depth perspective of the "Wenrong Award". The birth of a masterpiece is inseparable from the cooperation of creators in many aspects such as screenwriters, producers, directors, art, and videographers. This time, Huo Tingxiao, Luo Pan and Tianxia Basing joined the jury of the ninth "Wenrong Award", and will jointly select new forces that can represent the future development of the film and television industry from the perspective of film and television industry creators, and truly tap the outstanding young creators behind the scenes through the potential displayed by the works. Xu Tianfu, chairman of Hengdian Film and Television, as a well-known film and television producer in China and the representative of the organizer, will also participate in the whole process of judging.
The jury of the Ninth "Wenrong Award" also invited two judges, young director Tian Yusheng and young actor Qi Xi. As a director and screenwriter, Tian Yusheng created the "Former Raiders" series, which was widely praised by young audiences. The actor Qi Xi once won the Golden Horse Award for Best New Actor and the Best New Actor Award at the Asian Film Awards for "The Mystery of the Floating City". I believe that the two "post-80s" joined, more understanding of young filmmakers, more able to give young filmmakers the most sincere help and care.
The 2022 Hengdian Film and Television Festival and the 9th "Wenrong Award" focus on new forces, and hope to build a bridge between film and television newcomers and film and television companies and film and television projects, so that more people can pay attention to the new forces and new formats in the film and television industry, gather young forces, and jointly help the take-off and development of China's film and television industry.
Guan Hu, chairman of the jury, said: "The Hengdian Film and Television Festival reflects the new trend and new pattern of the development of China's film and television industry. Youth is the new force of China's film and television industry, and it is also the hope for the future. Supporting young filmmakers is also to accumulate industry strength for the future. In the next judging work, it is hoped that the jury can take 'the avenue is self-expansive and the integrity is surprising' as the standard to select a group of good works and young filmmakers who are worth looking forward to in the future. ”
