The Beijing Film Festival opened, and the stars gathered on the red carpet
In the scorching summer, Beijing seems to have added a bit of enthusiasm to this grand event. On the evening of August 12, the 12th Beijing International Film Festival kicked off at the China National Convention Center.
The red carpet was star-studded, and the festival's judges, the creators of the participating films, and other invited filmmakers all wore their most personal tastes and appeared at this carnival of the film industry.
As one of the judges of the film festival, Qin Hailu was the first to step on the red carpet, wearing a pink dress with black lace at the hem of the skirt, which did not match her figure and was slightly bloated.
The two male judges next to her, Li Xuejian and Wu Jing, one is calm and upright, and the other is humble and polite, both of which give people a bookish feeling. Their attire was simple and elegant, which contrasted with Qin Hailu.
followed by Hong Kong star couple Li Yanan and Wang Zulan, whose demeanor shows strong love. Wang Zulan's short stature makes him more like a cute mascot next to the tall Li Yanan, and this combination of "rich and handsome and white rich and beautiful" has attracted screams from fans outside the court.
This year's largest Chinese-language film "My Extraordinary Parents" team also made a collective appearance. Wu Qianyu, one of the leading actors, dressed boldly, but let Hui Yinghong, who was in the same room, compare her with a smart suit.
The actresses compete for the red carpet, uneven
The festival brings together the hottest young actors of the moment and the most time-tested veterans. With a star-studded audience, it is natural to work clothing to gain exposure.
However, you and I both know that a glossy appearance often does not represent a person's strength and charm. Although many actresses have resorted to catastrophes, their uneven state also betrays their hypocrisy.
As one of the judges of the film festival, Qin Hailu wore a long dress with mixed colors. The long sleeves and skirt make people have a kind of "hot" association, which does not match the climate in the middle of summer.
She wanted to accentuate her figure, but the design of her clothes did not achieve such an effect. In the same shot, she is a few points inferior to Li Xuejian and Wu Jing.
Wu Qianyu has been transforming to the sexy route in recent years, which may be her consideration for wanting to get more exposure in the entertainment industry. She appeared in a crop top, but she also exposed the slight fat on her belly.
This gives people a sense of artificiality, which is slightly inferior to Hui Yinghong, who is wearing a suit and is steady and generous.
Other actresses have also hit a wall. The layers of thick makeup on Deng Jiajia's face made her face a little stiff and unnatural; The sea and land have changed too much, but they have lost the freshness of the past.
These external packaging and embellishments not only cannot hide their shortcomings, but make people doubt their essence.
Therefore, the gorgeous appearance is often easy to cause overlay, so that people can't see the essence clearly. And only inner self-confidence can be naturally revealed, so that the whole person exudes charming charm.
A calm demonstration of the older generation of actresses
Unlike those flower-like actresses who are wrapped in gorgeous coats, the older generation of actresses who have gone through vicissitudes use their calmness to interpret what is the real charm.
They don't need exaggerated makeup, they don't need revealing clothes, they just wear simple clothes to shine brightly. This calm attitude is like a persistent force, enough to defeat the wind, frost, rain and snow that time has brought to them.
One of the most impressive is Yongmei. She is no longer the image of the jade girl she was back then, and the years have left traces on her face. But she did not hide these "flaws", but got along with them generously.
An elegant silver suit set off her round figure appropriately. When she walked slowly on the red carpet with a smile, everyone was impressed by her aura and cheered for her calmness.
Wu Yanshu and Xi Meijuan, two old artists, are also in the same state. It's a simple two-color combination, but it exudes a stunning shine. The traces left on their faces by the years have become the mark of their interpretation of life.
Smiling and communicating with people, every gesture reveals a sense of serenity, wisdom and solemnity.
This kind of temperament is not something that can be constructed by external dressing, but it takes time to precipitate. Just like a well-read wine, the older it gets, the more fragrant and mellow it becomes. Their love and dedication to art have made them unparalleled.
Therefore, the pursuit of true beauty requires us to examine the inside, not the outside. Because the outer color will eventually fade, only the inner sunshine, optimism, wisdom and love are eternal.
This is also the best lesson that the older generation of actresses have taught us.
Outward dressing does not determine a person's attractiveness
This event fully illustrates a truth, the external dress does not determine the whole charm of a person, the real charm comes from the heart.
Many actresses want to create buzz and exposure through exaggerated costumes, but they ignore the most important point - if the external packaging does not match the inner temperament, not only will it not enhance the charm, but it will be counterproductive.
It's like Wu Qianyu wants to show her sexiness by revealing her outfit, but her slightly hurried changes can only give people a sense of contrivedness; Deng Jiajia wanted to emphasize her beauty through heavy makeup, but it caused her face to stiffen and lose her natural feeling.
In contrast, those old artists abandoned the crowd with the simplest of clothes. They don't need to rely on the outside, because the light from within is enough to illuminate them. Yongmei no longer has the skin of a jade girl, but she accepts the marks left by the years and uses elegance to prove the continuation of beauty; Wu Yanshu and Xi Meijuan are the same, and their simple outfits bring out their unique temperament and charm.
Therefore, beauty is a kind of staying power that needs to be accumulated over time. Just like an old wine, the more it ages, the more it develops its unique aroma. A person's experience, wisdom, and self-cultivation are the real source of charm, and if the external decoration is detached from or covers the inner temperament, it will be counterproductive.
In this day and age, we should not be bound by external standards, and we do not need to deliberately package or sell ourselves. On the contrary, we need to experience the bits and pieces of life with a positive and optimistic attitude, and maintain a heart that is eager for progress.
As long as we have dreams and passions in our hearts, the external wind and rain cannot make our hearts wither. This is true beauty – beauty from within.
brief summary
This Beijing Film Festival has witnessed the beautiful situation of the replacement of the old and the new. We should not simply criticize newcomers, but appreciate the beauty of different eras. Because true beauty comes from within, and the outward packaging doesn't matter.
We must maintain a positive and open mind, and continue to improve and grow. As long as we have dreams and passions in our hearts, we have infinite light. This is also a precious life lesson taught to us by the older generation of artists.
