Zhang Yi, Zhang Hanyu, Yi Yangqianxi, Xiao Yang, Donnie Yen competed for Best Actor, and Zhang Xiaofei, Zhang Zifeng, Zhou Xun, Xu Fan, and Wang Danni competed for Best Actress.

The strength is too strong! Zhang Zifeng, Zhang Xiaofei, and Zhou Xun competed
The five actors nominated for Best Actress at the first Five Continents International Film Festival (China Unit) are all strong. Of the five actors nominated, three are new actresses at other festivals in recent years.
Zhang Xiaofei won the 34th Golden Rooster Award for Best Actress with "Hello, Li Huanying", and Zhang Zifeng won the Best Actress at the 16th China Changchun Film Festival for "My Sister". This time, the two competed in the first Australwood Five Continents International Film Festival, who can win the award again?
Xu Fan, 55 years old this year, and Zhou Xun, 48 years old, were goddess-like existences when they were young, with both appearance, figure and acting skills, and as the years passed, although the goddess gradually aged, her acting skills became more and more sophisticated. Xu Fan's performance in "All About My Mother" was excellent and won Best Actress at the 13th Macao International Film Festival.
Zhou Xun is a powerful actor with stable acting skills and a rare aura, which can be quickly integrated into the role. In the movie "The Eleventh Time", Jin Cailing, played by Zhou Xun, is a beautiful woman and a powerful woman, she cleans up her husband Ma Fuli to obey, but she can't do anything about her daughter. Zhou Xun, can you win the best actress with this film?
In contrast, Danni Wang's popularity is not too high. But as a newcomer to the film, her performance in "Anita Mui" is very satisfying. She has a tenacity and arrogance, no wonder that the moment she looks up in the Red Hall in the film, she can have Sister Mei's flaming red lips, and the charm and beauty of a single horse over the fireworks in the sky. Whether she can win the best actress crown, we will wait and see.
Fierce competition! Who can win Zhang Yi, Yi Yangqianxi and others?
The competition for the nomination (China Unit) for Best Actor at the first Australwood Five Continents International Film Festival has become more intense.
The 44-year-old Zhang Yi is not only very popular, but also has pure acting skills, and has won numerous awards in major awards with "Above the Cliff", especially winning the 34th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards.
Yi Yangqianxi, who is only 22 years old, his acting skills have been proven in many film and television works such as "Young You" and "Send You a Little Red Flower", and his performance in "Miracle Stupid Child" is very wonderful, and this time he is also a strong contender for Best Actor.
Zhang Hanyu's restrained and calm performance in "Chinese Doctor" has won the affirmation of many authoritative film critics and media, and he has the strength to stand out in the competition for this year's Huading Awards.
The other two nominated actors also performed well. Xiao Yang was nominated for "Manslaughter 2", and Donnie Yen was nominated for "Furious Heavy Case". The above five actors, who were nominated for Best Actor (China Unit) at the first Australian Five Continents International Film Festival are not surprising.
A number of god-level directors and screenwriters competed
The director is the soul of a movie. The six directors nominated for Best Director at the First Australwood Five Continents International Film Festival (China Unit), Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Tsui Hark, Lin Chaoxian, Sun Haipeng, Wen Muye, are excellent directors of the god level in the eyes of many fans around the world, with distinctive directorial styles and are the backbone of the current international film industry.
The screenwriter is the foundation of a movie. Tong Yongxian, Shao Yihui, Li Yashin, Zhang Benyu, Kodak, Liu Xunzimo, Yu Xi, Huang Xin, Zhao Ningyu, Yu Yanlin were nominated for Best Screenplay. They are talented, and under the new pattern of full grafting of capital markets and Chinese films, they can adhere to artistic thinking and tell Chinese stories well.
The Best Picture nomination is an excellent work with good reputation and artistic standard from the audience
"Above the Cliff" and "Changjin Lake" are both commercial blockbusters with the main theme. The former tells the story of agents who fight wits and courage with the enemy under severe trials and carry out covert operations. The latter shows the whole picture of the Battle of Changjin Lake in an epic way.
Above the Cliff's sophisticated cinematic footage and audiovisual language provide an immersive viewing experience. "Changjin Lake" brings the audience realistic battlefield cognition and deep emotional experience with shocking visual effects.
These two works are masterpieces that embody the spirit of national spirit and patriotism. The interplay of light and shadow evokes physical and mental resonance, which is the charm of the movie.
The other 3, "Hello, Li Huanying", with its high resonance emotion, was nominated for Best Picture as expected. The complex emotions and human secrecy of the characters of "Miracle Stupid Child" moved the audience and the judges. "Lion Boy" was nominated for its unique artistic temperament and high artistic standards.
The author judges that "Changjin Lake" is more likely to eventually win the best picture.
