Rooted in life and people, but also looking up to the vast starry sky, the "Shanghai-produced" TV series "Three-Body Problem" shined in the Golden Eagle, won the best TV series and the best director two major awards, and became the big winner of the night.
On the evening of October 20, the 32nd China TV Golden Eagle Awards were announced in Changsha, Hunan. The Shanghai-produced TV series "The Wind Blows Banxia", "Menghualu" and "Flowers" also won the Outstanding TV Drama Award, Qin Wen won the best screenwriter with "Flowers", and Zhao Liying won the best actress because of Xu Banxia. In addition, Wang Jingchun, an actor from the Shanghai Film Actors Troupe, won the Best Supporting Actor for "Police Honor", and the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress were awarded to Fan Wei, the protagonist of "The Long Season", and Gao Ye, the actor of "Sister-in-law" in "Hurricane". The veteran artist You Benchang and the director Zhang Shaolin won the Lifetime Achievement Award of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
"The Three-Body Problem" won the highest honor of this year's Golden Eagle, and the producer remembers the apprehension of all the creators in the face of adapting Liu Cixin's novel 8 years ago, and also remembers the scene where the crew collectively looked up at the starry sky on a cold and snowy night when the crew finished in Heihe 4 years ago. Director Yang Lei said that it is the glory of his life to be able to stand on the shoulders of giants to shoot "The Three-Body Problem". After three and a half years of working at full capacity, he lamented that "Chinese science fiction is not easy". Because when it comes to science fiction production, almost everyone thinks of Western works first. "But for "The Three-Body Problem", I want to take a different path." Yang Lei said, "I hope it is a Chinese science fiction, with a sense of Chinese substitution, and to use realistic solutions to shoot this science fiction." "At that time, Chinese TV drama people who had no successful experience groped all the way across the river, and they didn't know where they would go, but the creative experience of taking root in the people and taking root in life could also be put on the science fiction track." The take-off of Chinese science and technology has given the best soil for science fiction, and all our creators should use Chinese genes to create Chinese science fiction stories, so that science fiction dreams can shine into reality, and the universe will shine for Chinese science fiction. Now, when the global audience sends a video call, the director's original vision has come true, and the Chinese TV series has really done it - this story that celebrates the courage and exploration of human beings in the face of unknown challenges is also the epitome of Chinese science fiction film and television.
For Qin Wen and Zhao Liying, the script of "Flowers" and the role of Xu Banxia have been commended by Magnolia and Feitian respectively. can be repeatedly selected by the three most authoritative awards of Chinese TV dramas, and the two have similarities, both of which draw energy from life.
"Flowers" integrates the story of the little people's struggle in the shopping mall with the passionate wave of the times in China in the 1990s, coupled with director Wong Kar-wai's unique lens aesthetics and stylized Shanghainese dialogue, becoming a phenomenal work from 2023 to early 2024. Qin Wen said: "Screenwriting should be a 'quiet' job, but winning an award is a resounding day in your career", which is the taste of life and the traces of the times precipitated in pork rib rice cakes and Bao Zong's rice.
"The Wind Blows Banxia" is the story of the struggle of small and medium-sized business owners in the steel industry in the nineties of the last century, and it is also the history of the struggle of the female character Xu Banxia and Zhao Liying, who interprets her. From the immature Tong Duoduo in "Golden Wedding" 18 years ago, to the current "The Wind Blows in the Summer" for the actors to win Feitian and Golden Eagle within a month, Zhao Liying's acceptance speech is self-sufficient, and it is not the encouragement of all the actors, "Maintain the simple original intention, firm belief in struggle, and the future will definitely return with a full load."
The true meaning of creation is actually like Wang Jingchun's testimonial, the actor is dipped in the light of the role, "thank the audience, thank life".
