The power of faith
This year marks the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
75 years ago, Shanghai was liberated and China's largest city returned to the embrace of the people. In 1958, the black-and-white film "The Never-Ending Radio Wave " directed by Wang Ping and starring Sun Daolin, Yuan Xia, and Wang Xingang was released. In the film, Li Xia's classic line "Comrades, farewell! I miss you" has infected generations of audiences, and his faith will never fade. More than half a century has passed, from movies to dance dramas to dance drama films, "The Eternal Wave", which symbolizes the relay of inheritance in the literary and artistic circles, has become the opening film of the Shanghai International Film Festival.
At the Golden Goblet Ceremony, Zhu Jiejing and Wang Jiajun, the lead actors in the film and the dance drama, reproduced the classic scenes in the film, paid tribute to the martyrs with dance and images, and said, "This prosperous age is as you wish." Director Zheng Dasheng started from his family background and expressed his appreciation for the glorious city of Shanghai. ""The Eternal Wave" has moved me since I was a child. It is the story of a group of revolutionaries who fearless sacrifice for their glory and dreams." The legend of the hero deserves to be passed down from generation to generation. When the director and team re-enacted this story again, he What comes to mind is to innovatively combine the beauty of the lens with the beauty of dance, find new possibilities between drama and movies, and make heroic stories often told freshly.
However, compared to literary and artistic creation, nothing is more shocking than real history. The ceremony specially invited a special guest - Mr. Li Kangjiang, who is 97 years old this year. Back then, when she was in her early 20s, she and Li Bai and others stayed on the party's hidden front. It was she who received the last telegram from Li Bai at around two o'clock in the morning.The short film sent Li Kang's image of the old man to the Golden Goblet Ceremony, and also heard a voice that transcended time and space - the old man sent a telegram to comfort the martyrs from across the air: "Dear Comrade Li Bai, we miss you very much, we miss you very much." ." This affectionate red love letter links different time and space, paying tribute to the great heroes and the power of faith.
Light of the Times
Taking stock of the global movie hot words in 2023 and 2024, "ai" must be on the list. The rapid development of AIGC has affected the film industry and inspired filmmakers to think deeply and imagine the future.
In the session "Gathered by AI", many filmmakers shared their love for the two-way empowerment of AI and movies. Director Tang Jili's new film "Legend of " is about to be released to the audience. In the film, he used AI technology to create an interesting moment in which the 72-year-old Jackie Chan and his 27-year-old self are in the same frame. In the view of young director Zhang Mo, AI will not replace the creative value of filmmakers. She took the classic IP "Nezha" as an example, "AI is not an ivory tower, but should rejuvenate vitality." Although changes in world cinema are always driven by technological innovation, a good story is always "the foundation of a filmmaker". The enthusiastic sharing at the
Golden Goblet Ceremony may just be an introduction to the Shanghai International Film Festival. Starting today, the Shanghai Film Festival Golden Jue Forum officially begins. Shanghai, the city of movies, is also a city of science and technology and innovation. People expect that the Golden Goblet Forum, which brings together the "most powerful minds" in the Chinese and foreign film circles, will spark more creative sparks. At a time when artificial intelligence has already broken through the conceptual circle and has been implemented in many industries, we are happy to see that the film industry empowered by technology is iterating new technologies, new consumption, and new formats, and the light of the times is blooming in the film city.
