On November 7, the nomination list of the jury of the 33rd Chinese Film Golden Rooster Awards was released, and 6 "Shanghai-produced" films were nominated for 15 Golden Rooster Awards. Among them, the word-of-mouth literary film "Under the White Clouds" became the biggest dark horse, and was nominated for 4 awards, including best feature film and best director. "Shanghai-produced" films such as "Spring Tide", "Climber" and "Beneficiary" have also received multiple nominations. In addition, "Zhenguan Event" was nominated for the Best Drama Film Award; "Da Luan - The Story of Zhou Enlai's Childhood Reading" was nominated for best art film.
It is worth noting that the "Shanghai-made" film and television works have continued to improve their creative quality in recent years. In 2019, 11 films with the logo of "Produced in Shanghai" have won awards at well-known film festivals at home and abroad, and three works have been shortlisted for the main competition unit of international A-category film festivals. The works such as "Under the White Clouds", "Spring Tide", "Zhenguan Event" and "Climber" that were shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Awards have been recognized by many film awards at home and abroad. Commercial films that achieved box office success and art films that swept through major film festivals were recognized, showing the rapid improvement in the quality of Shanghai films.
The movie "Under the White Clouds" tells the story of a Mongolian herdsman couple on the vast grassland, who stayed in the grassland to live a stable life, or went to the city to experience the differences in life. His wife, Sarula, believes that the good life is to rest with her husband at sunrise and sunset on the grassland, while her husband Chao Ketu chooses again and again to explore the rapidly changing world outside. "Under the White Clouds" is like a gift from the prairie, although we can't personally embrace the grassland scenery, but we can immerse ourselves through a mural-like scene.
As one of the first batch of new domestic films to be released in the "post-epidemic" era, "Under the White Clouds" won the "Best Artistic Contribution Award" in the main competition unit of the Tokyo International Film Festival in 2019, and was screened as the opening film at the 2020 Shanghai International Film Festival "Belt and Road Film Week".
"Spring Tide" is a drama film written and directed by Yang Li na, starring Hao Lei and Jin Yanling, and co-starring Qu Junxi and Li Wenbo. Through the story of a three-generation Chinese family, the film shows the pain of the "original family" in the context of an era. On June 18, 2019, the film premiered at the 22nd Shanghai International Film Festival. "Spring Tide" has been shortlisted for the main competition unit of the 15th Osaka Asian Film Festival, the nomination for the best feature film of the 13th FIRST Youth Film Festival, the main competition unit of the Golden Jubilee Award of the Shanghai International Film Festival, etc., and Jack Pollock won the "Best Cinematography" award.
The 3D panoramic Peking Opera movie "Zhenguan Event" has entered mainstream theaters in major Japanese cities as a commercial screening, and many Japanese citizens have purchased tickets to watch this news, and the response has been enthusiastic. At the "Golden Angel Award" award ceremony of the 15th Sino-US Film Festival held in Los Angeles, USA, "Zhenguan Event" successfully ranked among the top ten films of the year, and Shang Changrong won the Lifetime Achievement Award specially issued by the organizing committee.
The film "The Climber", produced by Shanghai Film (Group) Co., Ltd., is based on the true story of the Chinese mountaineering team that launched two sprints to Mount Everest in 1960 and 1975. "The Climber" entered the top ten domestic film box office last year for 1.094 billion yuan, and won awards such as the "Smokeless Film and Television Award" in 2019 and the "Best Technology Award" at the Golden Deer Award of the 15th China Changchun Film Festival.
The animated film "Da Luan - The Story of Zhou Enlai's Childhood Reading" tells the story of Premier Zhou Enlai's reading when he was a teenager, subtly guiding the majority of teenagers to understand red culture, enhancing cultural self-confidence, and better stimulating the resonance and cultural identity of teenagers.
