On December 26th, the Beijing Youth Film Festival ended successfully, and the final judges Wang Xiaoshuai, Shu Huan, Wu Di, Zhao Lixin, Chen Zhixi, Sai Ren, together with many industry guests such as famous filmmakers Xie Fei, Chen Desen, Cai Shangjun, Wang Hongwei, and representatives of 20 shortlisted crews, attended the ceremony to witness the unveiling of the annual top ten honors and cheer for the growing new forces of Chinese youth films.
The movie "Animal World", directed by Han Yan and starring Li Yifeng, won two awards, "Popular Actor of the Year" and "Annual Youth Film Model", becoming the biggest winner of the day. During the banquet, Xie Fei, the representative of the fourth generation of directors, delivered a keynote speech on the spot on the theme of "How New Directors Can Tell Chinese Stories". He pointed out that the "China story" is actually the story around us. Every creation derived from life is the embodiment of the "Chinese story". Before announcing the winner of the "Film of the Year", director Wang Xiaoshuai mentioned that there are many good films shortlisted this time, and he is eager to have more awards. Wang Xiaoshuai also said that many film festivals now provide an "entrance" for these high-quality films, so where is the "exit" of these films? How to push more and better films to more people, this is worth thinking about.
This year's best film nomination can be described as a strong and strong circle, including more than 20 films such as "Animal World" and "Light Blue Amber", and it is inevitable that the flower family will have the regret of leaving a pearl. Among the finalists, the film "Cloud-Shrouded Mountain" was nominated for both "Film of the Year" and "Screenwriter of the Year". On the day of the closing ceremony, the film's producer Ma Chenyang, producer Ding Jianguo, producers Li Xin and Guo Na, director Zuo Zhiguo, as well as the main actors Wang Haitao, Ren Qing'an, Long Shuilin, Li Jue, and art director Yang Zhao, all appeared on the red carpet.
The film uses a "six-line narrative" approach to tell the story of a crime committed by love and a butterfly effect. As early as the world premiere of this year's Warsaw International Film Festival, it has already gained a good reputation and has been personally recommended by the president of the Warsaw Film Festival. The atmosphere of the film is suspenseful and brain-burning, exploring the delicate and profound relationship between people, and the strong contrast between rich and poor presented at the end makes the film thought-provoking. After the screening of the Beijing Youth Film Festival on the 24th, the applause on the spot lasted for a long time. Some viewers said that they were surprised after watching the movie, originally thought it would be a very type of routine, but the shooting was very solid and full of details, and when the movie was officially released, they had to go to the theater to brush two or three.
