"Auspicious" won the 55th Golden Horse Award for Best Feature Short Film
At the 2018 Taiwan Golden Horse Awards Ceremony, there was such an award that surprised everyone. That is the short film "Auspicious" directed by Dapeng.
It won the 55th Taiwan Golden Horse Awards for Best Feature Short Film.
After this film, the audience also has a new understanding of the style of dapeng's film.
Audiences accustomed to Dapeng's funny and amusing nature are surprised to see a documentary realistic style film with a "literary" atmosphere.
Movie "Auspicious"
In my opinion, the movie "Auspicious" is an alternative realistic film with experimental overtones.
The story told in the movie is very ordinary, so ordinary that it is something that we experience every day around us.
Dapeng's third uncle Wang Jixiang and Lili
The story tells the family story of a girl named Wang Lili who returned to her hometown in northeast China for the New Year.
Wang Lili's father was called Wang Jixiang, Wang Jixiang was middle-aged ill and had dementia, and her mother insisted on divorce and took her away.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, Wang Lili's grandmother suddenly passed away, she returned to her hometown in the northeast, at this time, the family and family contradictions continued, coupled with the father's demented appearance, a bunch of trivial things were in front of her.
The movie "Auspicious" records some bad things that happened at this time.
Why did you make "Auspicious" an experimental film?
Director Dapeng
First of all, the film's shooting method adopts a combination of documentary shooting and plot, and the previous plot part tells the story of Wang Lili's return to her hometown in northeast China.
Later, it is about the creation, shooting, post-recording and other plots of this story.
It is equivalent to shooting the film "Auspicious", there are two crews working at the same time, one group shoots the story of Wang Lili, and the other group records the process of the production of this film.
These two paragraphs are combined, so there is a full version of "Auspicious Ruyi".
Movie "Auspicious Ruyi"
Secondly, in addition to the role of Wang Lili as a professional actor, the other characters in this movie are played by Dapeng's relatives.
The only professional actor in the film, Liu Lu, plays Li Li
In the end, when the film was filmed, there was no script, according to Dapeng's words, it was by providence.
What will happen, he himself does not know.
For a movie, the actor's performance is extremely important, fortunately, Dapeng's relatives do not contradict the camera, and the effect presented is also very natural.
Although the name of the movie is "auspicious", the story that the movie wants to tell is not so "auspicious".
In fact, the original name of this film is called "Grandma", look at this name should know that its protagonist is an old man, in fact, Grandma is Dapeng himself's grandmother.
Although this film does not have a script, you can know from the name that this is a warm movie that records grandma, but there are unexpected storms in the sky, and when the film is filmed, Dapeng's grandmother suddenly left. I think that the providence he said also includes this!
What followed was the adjustment of the story, the change of the director's mentality, because of the death of Grandma, the tone of the movie "Auspicious" changed accordingly.
In my opinion, "Auspicious" is more like the director's own emotional sustenance, the remembrance of the loss of loved ones.

The quarrel between brothers, the helplessness of the juniors, the helplessness of the demented father, the quarrel of the city alley.
In this film, they are so real, and what happens in the movie is so close to us, it's like what happened in our own home.
True and False Lili This paragraph is heart-wrenching to watch
Although the film is very ordinary and very lifelike, it involves family problems, emotional problems, and the contradictions between our generation and the previous generation.
These are everywhere in our daily lives, but they cannot be completely solved, and the film moves us at the same time because we are the same experiencers.
Wang Lili represents thousands of migrant workers in a foreign land, lonely sons and daughters who cannot be resolved in the face of family conflicts.
I believe that in addition to expressing the director's private feelings, this film also wants to express some of the problems faced by young people, the elderly, and in life in society.
It only said half of these problems in "Auspicious", and the rest remained in the movie "Auspicious Ruyi".
The main creative team of "Auspicious Ruyi"
I've always thought that good movies are ones that can mix more real feelings and penetrate people's hearts. And "Auspicious Ruyi" is such a movie.
Life is not auspicious or satisfactory, but its contradictions and complexities can more truly make people feel another kind of beauty in life, and the same is true of "Auspicious Ruyi".
My heart is to hope that more can see its beauty, its auspiciousness.
Douban score
Since the movie was released on demand, Douban scored 8.3 points. Even Zhang Yi and Liu Haoran highly recommended it, and he did not live up to everyone's expectations and received praise from many audiences.
Rave reviews
The director called Beast Yi Xiaoxing even lamented that "a director can make such a movie in a lifetime." Enough to see the excellence of this movie.
