Beijing Film Festival has come to an end, and many outstanding filmmakers and works were selected at the closing ceremony.
Among them, as the final award of this year, it is Chen Kaige's "Lifetime Achievement Award".
In major film festivals, this award is a comprehensive recognition of actors and directors, which is of great significance. For example, Tony Leung Chiu-wai last time also won the "Lifetime Achievement Award."
When Chen Kaige stepped onto the podium, his joy was beyond words.
Let’s start with an acceptance speech.
Chen Kaige could tell that he had carefully prepared his speech, and his speech sounded like poetry.
also quoted Li Bai's famous saying "Cut the knife to cut off the water, and the water will flow again; raise a cup to relieve sorrow, and the sorrow will become more sorrowful."
added a poetic atmosphere to the festival. ——
"At that time, I felt as if I was cutting water with a knife, but the water flowed more. I raised a glass to relieve my sorrow, but found that the sorrow was even worse. However, at this moment, I suddenly realized deeply that I had deeply loved "Going to the movies."
This feeling is like an emotion that is difficult to let go of, making him more aware of his love for movies.
Speaking of speeches, Chen Kaige did not speak out excitedly like others. Instead, he stopped talking and waited until the audience in the audience finished applauding before starting the next sentence.
is worthy of being an old director who has been working for decades, and he also has the style of a leader's speech.
As a fifth-generation director, Zhang Yimou is also attracting much attention.
Their early films were very ideological. In recent years, Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou have embarked on two completely different paths.
Zhang Yimou has focused on the commercialization of movies. He has produced movies with the same formula at high volumes and hired popular celebrities. He has achieved good box office results during the Spring Festival and National Day movies.
But at the same time, his reputation is also highly controversial. For example, people often say that "Lao Mouzi is not guaranteed in his later years" and so on, which is a kind of pity for Zhang Yimou.
But this cannot be blamed on him. He is over 70 years old and it is good to have his own persistence and original intention.
But when directing a movie, you have to consider the box office revenue after all, which is also your responsibility to investors.
While Chen Kaige's film output is not as high as Zhang Yimou's, he still has his own persistence and persistence in his heart.
and both have the title of director of the top-grossing film "Changjin Lake". Following that, his blockbuster "Volunteer Army" also has a trilogy.
In the eyes of investors who focus on business returns, Chen Kaige's current business status is higher than Zhang Yimou.
Chen Kaige accepted the award, and Lao Mouzi in the audience smiled and applauded.
are all decent people who have seen the world. Even if the camera is pointed at them, there is nothing to criticize.
The reactions of others are even more intriguing.
Generally speaking, the first two rows of the audience are filled with big names.
When Chen Kaige walked onto the podium, all the big names in the first and second rows stood up to see him off.
Take a look at this battle. Several big names are standing tall.
When he stepped down, he shook hands with each of them.
It seems that Chen Kaige’s status in the film industry cannot be underestimated.
It is worth mentioning that when Chen Kaige walked to the audience, he hugged Jiang Wen, Zhang Yimou, Zhang Guoli and other celebrities.
Zhu Yilong and Xin Baiqing stood up and hugged Chen Kaige.
Chen Kaige also shook hands with Zhang Zifeng and other actors from the volunteer army, and, together with Chen Hong, chatted with Hu Ge for a long time.
Yao Chen also stepped forward and hugged him.
, together with Liu Weiqiang and Ni Ni, all shook hands with him and exchanged greetings.
In the grand scene of the film and television industry, which pays attention to respectability, it is actually a world of sophistication.
Chen Kaige has never collaborated with Hu Ge, but they shook hands and said hello. Maybe they had plans to cooperate, maybe they admired each other.
For another example, when chatting with Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, Li Xuejian, Zhang Guoli and others, they also feel sympathy for each other with the same status.
A corner of internal entertainment is also a corner of real society.
