The operation of a movie is a systematic project, of which actors are only one part. However, actors are the largest group in a film project, and they are also the people in front of the stage.
No matter how good the original work is or how good the script is, actors need to express it. Therefore, the chairman of the Film Association must be an actor representative.
As a well-known actor, Chen Daoming is an experienced actor with superb acting skills. He is especially good at playing majestic imperial roles, such as in classic works such as "Kangxi Dynasty" and "The Last Emperor".
In addition to his acting skills, Chen Daoming’s reputation as a character is also worth mentioning. Being elected as the chairman of the Film Association is in line with the structure of the film project. For a veteran actor like him, no one can say anything when he is elected chairman.
As an actor representative, Huang Xiaoming was elected as the vice chairman of the Film Association. Many movie fans may not have thought of this. In terms of acting skills, he is much better than Huang Xiaoming. Why did you choose Huang Xiaoming?
A social organization like the Film Association is actually a negotiation and coordination body within the film industry. For a position like vice chairman, in addition to personal professional abilities, the most important thing is interpersonal skills and coordination and balance skills. This kind of thing is something that some people who like to be in the limelight, like to express themselves, and have too strong personalities are not capable of.
Huang Xiaoming is very popular in the entertainment industry. He is cautious in social activities, has a sense of social responsibility, and is very helpful. Although he is a big-name star, Huang Xiaoming has no airs and is very low-key. These are the most important foundations for dealing with interpersonal relationships, public relations and good popularity.
Another reason why Huang Xiaoming was elected vice chairman is that he is a representative of Republic of China dramas. Although the audience said that he is greasy, how can he perform well in Republic of China dramas if he is not greasy?
Andy Lau, Vice Chairman of the Film Association, in the film industry of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, who else is more famous than Andy Lau? Who else can adapt to the general trend and trend better than Andy Lau? It was very natural and logical for him to be elected as vice chairman.
As for representatives of film companies, in the past few years, the share of films distributed by Bona Pictures in the total box office of domestic films in China has averaged around 17%, making it a leader in the field of private film distribution. As Chairman of Bona, Yu Dong’s election as Vice Chairman is understandable.
As for Wang Jian'er and Fu Ruoqing, one is the chairman of Shanghai Film and the other is the chairman of China Film. These two companies are old state-owned enterprises. Without their film association, would it still be the film association?
As for the director representative, Wu Jing, both as a director and an actor, has been focusing on the field of war and military affairs in recent years. "Wolf Warrior 2", which he directed and acted in, was a great success. As the military is the backbone of the country and the nation, war movies have always been one of the main themes. It is natural that Wu Jing was elected vice chairman.
As for Guo Fan, he is both a director and a screenwriter. In recent years, he has focused on science fiction movies. Period film and television dramas and historical film and television dramas can only tell the audience what happened in the past, but science fiction films can tell the audience what may happen in the future. Only by looking forward on the basis of history can we have a future. In the field of science fiction films, besides Guo Fan, who else is there?
Huang Bo has always focused on comedy. The protagonists in Huang Bo's comedies, such as militiaman Ge Erdan, are mostly small characters, and the stories of small people can be closer to most audiences. The popular line is the mainstream of film and television dramas. Huang Bo himself is very funny. Whether as an actor or a director, Huang Bo can be a representative in the field of comedy.
As for the representatives of film schools and literary fields, let’s not talk about them for now.
The new chairman and vice-chairman of the Film Association have a relatively young age structure, with representatives from historical films, war films, science fiction films, and life films. It seems that China's film industry will continue to have the current structure of film genres in the future. However, the proportion of war films and science fiction films may increase.
