1905 Film Network News Changchun, known as the "Cradle City of Movies."
Here is the Changchun Film Studio, which has accompanied and witnessed the founding, development and prosperity of New China. Long Film Studio has not only gone through various historical stages such as the revolutionary war period, the construction period of New China, and the reform and opening up period, but also the technological transformation of the film industry from black and white to color, from analog to digital, and from traditional to modern.
Here is the China Changchun Film Festival, the first national film festival named after a city in New China. Here
not only witnessed the development of Chinese film, but also recorded the light and shadow memories of generations of filmmakers.
Some people say that "A Lawsuit in Qiuju" has "the simplest sense of reality".
Before the filming of "A Lawsuit in Autumn Ju", screenwriter Liu Heng felt that Gong Li was not suitable for the role of "Qiu Ju" and it was difficult to associate it with the image of a rural woman in northern Shaanxi.
Gong Li at that time had already become famous with "Red Sorghum". In order to experience the role in depth, Gong Li put on the clothes of "Autumn Ju" after joining the group, the big flower padded jacket and the green cloth headscarf, wrapped her belly, and let everyone Call her Qiu Ju. She lived in a village without electricity for two months. She did her daily life in person, including carrying water, burning fire, cooking and so on. At that time, no one in the village where the crew was located recognized her, thinking she was a pregnant woman born and raised in the countryside.
A good actor creates a role. Gong Li combines herself and the role into one. The actor is the role, making all the audience think she is "Autumn Ju". What’s more interesting is that during the movie screening, the audience asked, "Does this movie have Gong Li?" When they were told that "Qiu Ju" was played by Gong Li, the audience was shocked and said that it is difficult to keep the old man on the screen. The rural women of the soil are connected with Gong Li.
In addition to the realism that actors give to the characters, the success of "Autumn Jujube" is also inseparable from director Zhang Yimou's nearly demanding requirements for lens and shooting effects. In order to better present the works, Zhang Yimou shoots in the form of a documentary. In order to achieve a documentary effect, some of the shots in the film are completed by "sneak shooting". At a later creative sharing session, Zhang Yimou even laughed and called himself "China's earliest candid master". In the movie
, the protagonist "Qiu Ju" repeatedly emphasizes "I just want a statement." The film "A Lawsuit in Qiu Ju" has won the "argument" for Chinese films internationally with Zhang Yimou's documentary expression techniques and Gong Li's "simple sense of reality". At the 49th Venice International Film Festival, this film won two awards for Best Picture and Best Actress. Looking back on the development of Chinese films, the many characters interpreted by generations of filmmakers have left us with too many classic memories. "Farewell My Concubine", "Sorrowful City", "No One Can Be Less", "The Good Man in the Three Gorges", "Red Sorghum", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", etc., these Chinese films have won international film awards.
We have seen many characters with distinctive Chinese cultural characteristics such as "Autumn Ju", "Cheng Dieyi", "Jade Dragon", and "Fugui". They not only played an important role in the development of Chinese movies, It has also demonstrated the unique charm of Chinese films internationally.
In 1993, Changchun Film Studio and Tianjin Film Studio jointly launched "Scented Soul Girl" and won the 43rd Berlin International FilmFestival Golden Bear Award
In the development of Chinese film, Changchun Film Studio has made great contributions to the development of Chinese film through continuous training and delivery of outstanding film talents. After the unremitting efforts of several generations of filmmakers, Changchun Film It has successively produced more than 1,000 outstanding feature films and translated more than 1,100 films from more than 50 countries, leaving a brilliant and colorful stroke in the history of Chinese cinema.
In 1999, the movie "Born in the Sky" was released. This film tells the story of my country's development of the first atomic bomb. This film not only won the Best Chinese Feature Film at the Fifth China Changchun Film Festival, but also Li Youbin won the best actor award at the China Changchun Film Festival for his role as Lu Guangda.
A native of Changchun, a film that is said to fill the gaps in the subject matter of Chinese feature films.
Li Youbin, joined the Changchun Film Studio in 1985. Speaking of him, the first thing more people think of is Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword". The phrase "Second Battalion Commander, where's your fucking Italian gun?" has become a classic line that people often talk about.
In the movie "Born from the Sky", when Soviet researchers burned the drawings and laughed at us for not being able to figure it out, Lu Guangda, played by Li Youbin, said, "It's just an abacus, and it must be typed." What a similar sentence. A line from Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword", "It's all two shoulders with a head, who is afraid of whom!"
Unlike Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword", there is not much Lu Guangda portrayed by Li Youbin in "Hengkong". With physical movements and no exaggerated expressions, Li Youbin vividly interprets an introverted and rigorous intellectual through delicate performances. With his professionalism in observing the weather, the weakness of frowning when drinking, and the decisive denial of the confidence of Soviet experts, Li Youbin used the most subtle performance to interpret the role of Lu Guangda in the most accurate way.
Zhihu netizens said, "Born in the sky" is the best theme movie, there is no one.
Looking back on the history of long shadows, it is a history of creating and shooting movies with the main theme for the people. It is the "red gene" engraved in the depths of blood by generations of long shadows. They used video and audio to vividly record the magnificent struggle of New China, which has influenced the formation of the outlook on life, values and world outlook of several generations. From 1999 to 2020, there have been many outstanding themes of Chinese movies in the 21 years, such as "Assembly Number" (2007), "Wind Sound" (2009), "Tangshan Earthquake" (2010), and "Thirteen Hairpins in Jinling" "(2011), "One Nineteen Four Two" (2012), "Take the Tiger Mountain out of Wisdom" (2014), "Operation Mekong" (2016), "Wolf Warrior 2" (2017), "Operation Red Sea" (2018) .
and "Born in the Sky", the main theme movie, deeply influenced the subsequent development of Chinese movies. Nowadays, the main theme of the film has become one of the pillar types of the Chinese film market.
The best film of the first China Changchun Film Festival "A Lawsuit by Qiu Ju" and the Chinese-language feature film "Born in the Sky" at the Fifth China Changchun Film Festival has a very significant significance in the development history of the entire Chinese Film Festival, allowing Chinese films to go global , So that Chinese films can stand firm. Whether it is the China Changchun Film Festival or the Long Film Studio, they are constantly accumulating power for the development, growth and prosperity of the Chinese Film Festival. The two films, a generation of filmmakers, have set a benchmark for the development of Chinese films. The new generation of filmmakers will surely continue to move forward under the inheritance of classics.
In 2020, the 15th China Changchun Film Festival is about to kick off, and the development of Chinese films is still being written.
A Chinese Changchun film carrying the dream of "Cradle Starts Again"The festival will continue to actively explore to enhance the cohesion of Chinese films.
