1905 Film Network News On April 20, the Beijing International Film Festival held a meeting of the judges of each unit. The jury of the four major units of the short film New Blood Image Project, Focus on the Future, the final review of the project venture capital and the main competition "Temple of Heaven Award" appeared successively, sharing with the media the feelings of communication, watching and judging since the opening.
The chairman of the international jury of this year's "Temple of Heaven Award" is Serbian director Emir Kusturica, and the international jury members include Australian film sound designer David White, Chinese actor Fei Xiang, Austrian director Jessica Hausna, Brazilian director Carlos Saldanha, and Chinese actors Ma Li and Zhu Yilong.
As the winner of the Grand Slam and Double Palme d'Or at the Cannes International Film Festival, Berlin International Film Festival and Venice International Film Festival, Serbian director Emir Kusturica also shared his judging criteria and experience as a judge: "For me, the important thing is to capture the emotions of the film very well, we want to see if the humanity of the film is enough, and we hope to judge it with fair and impartial standards to select what we think is the best work." The value expression of the work is always the core of the jury, it is very closely related to the artistry of the film, and we will also take into account the artistry of the film. ”
Fei Xiang, the "first generation idol" who will regain the audience's field of vision in 2023 with "Fengshen Part 1", said when talking about "what are your expectations for the future of domestic films": "I am full of expectations and hopes for Chinese films, and I think China Electric is now entering a golden age. Because there are so many talents, and more importantly, there are so many good stories in China. These stories are as new to audiences around the world as "The Gods". I hope that Chinese filmmakers will take the initiative to make these stories into movies and promote them to the world, so that audiences around the world can better understand China. ”
Ma Li, who successfully realized the transformation of the type of role on the screen because of "Article 20", was asked by a reporter "When the drama road is getting wider and wider, and it can shape different roles well", she said frankly: "I think this is a particularly good question. As an actor, I definitely don't want to be defined, so I cherish every play now. I hope that no matter what type of film works are in the future, I can work with good actors, good directors, and good teams, and I hope that I can always maintain this learning mentality. ”
As the youngest judge of the "Temple of Heaven Award", Zhu Yilong also interpreted his selection criteria from the perspective of an actor: "For performance, I think the premise is vivid, natural, and unified, which is the premise. For me, the judging of performance is the sense of proportion, and the sense of proportion in the whole performance and the whole film can especially show the overall strength of an actor: understanding of the script, communication with the director, communication with the camera, etc. ”
Dapeng Liu Haoran broke the news that Yu Shi, a "popular filmmaker in venture capital", is looking forward to the growth of newcomers in the short film unit
The final jury of the project's venture capital, composed of the chairman of the jury and director Kwan Jinpeng from Hong Kong, China, Dapeng, Chinese director, screenwriter and actor, Liu Haoran, Chinese actor, Zeng Guoxiang, director from Hong Kong, China, and Zhang Mo, Chinese director, screenwriter and editor, announced the ownership of the lifetime awards later in the day.
Talking about this venture capital experience, Liu Haoran said: "I hope that I have more possibilities and hope that I can grow more. This venture capital is very interesting, and I am fortunate to see my name on the list of invitees for many projects. In addition to meeting many young creators, I also wanted to hear their thoughts and mindsets in their first and second works. In so many projects, I saw a lot of roles that fit my age and my image, and I was very interested in some of them. ”
Subsequently, he and the judge Dapeng also broke the news that the name that appeared the most in the PPT of this venture capital project was Baike. As a partner who cooperated with the other party in "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop!", Dapeng bluntly said that he was very happy for Bai Ke and looked forward to him being favored by more directors and participating in the creation of more works.
At the same time, Dapeng also talked about the slogan of this event, "face the market directly, refuse to be self-satisfied": "As a new creator, the works are often extracted from the people, things, and growth environment that I am most familiar with, including most of the first movies. I don't think we exclude the matter of 'self-hilarity', because only by making yourself 'hi' can we infect the audience, and if you are moved, we can let more viewers be moved by your story, so we are not completely denying 'self-hilarity'. During the judging process, I saw a lot of excellent creators, who stood on the stage to face our questions, and the answers were very firm, which shows that they have been preparing for this for a long time. ”
The chairman of the international jury of the Reelfocus New Blood Imaging Project in the short film section is Jiao Xiongping, a producer and producer from Taiwan, China, and the six judges are Chinese screenwriter Chen Yu, Hong Kong director Xu Hongyu, and Chinese actors Jiang Qinqin, Qu Chuxiao, Yu Shi and Zu Feng.
Jiao Xiongping said: "The shortlisted films have a very diverse performance. Some of the creations are very mature in technology, some are very imaginative in film, some are very strong in artistic expression, and some are very concerned about the relationship between the living environment and humanity. There are also very traditional ones, which are completely dealing with the feelings between people, showing delicate and moving life footprints. ”
In the face of a group of young creators, director Xu Hongyu said: "The biggest gain from watching 15 short films is to see 15 very individual and independent souls, which is the director's display in the short film." I am very happy to be able to see the future of Chinese cinema in these short films. ”
Yu Shi, who served as a judge for the first time, also shared this experience from his own experience: "I have watched so many short films, and I have also learned about these short film workers, many directors and photographers are very young, some are younger than me, but they are very talented and thoughtful. The Beijing Film Festival is a good platform, and talented people need a place to show their strengths, and here it is. Everyone who is engaged in the film industry starts from young people, and I am the same, I hope that talented young people can be seen by everyone, give them help, and hope that one day they will take their film dreams to a bigger stage. ”
On the same day, the jury of the Focus on the Future section, the chairman of the Polish director Jez Skolimowski, the judge Dutch photographer Keith van Oostrum, Chinese directors Yang Lina and Gu Xiaogang, and Chinese actor Yang Zishan also appeared at the meeting and talked about their experiences.
