Next, let us interpret a few special "words" together. At the end of the article, we will reveal what the "2023 Chinese Film Annual Keyword" in the mind of host Lan Yu is?
tough
Yin Hong, vice chairman of the Chinese Filmmakers Association and professor of Tsinghua University, the Chinese character for the 2023 movie is the word "toughness".
"Amidst the various uncertainties in the post-epidemic era, Chinese films have stood up tenaciously from the trough, showing a vibrant recovery and development trend with diverse forms, themes, and types."
The film industry has experienced many changes in the past few years. It is a very difficult period, but with the help and support of various policies of the party and the government, we can see that the film industry has made a strong recovery this year starting from the Spring Festival period, to the heat wave of the summer period, and then to the excitement of the Lunar New Year period. Feel the resilience of the film industry in this era. This year, Chinese films have made a good start in recovery, which also provides a good foundation for the continued development of the film industry next year.

Film critic Itoki’s 2023 movie Chinese character is the word "real".
"In 2023, Chinese films entering the context of neorealism will create strong empathy with the audience and achieve a strong connection with reality, which is the basis for gaining reputation and box office. Based on "reality" and "honesty" as the root, Take "solidity" as the background, never forget the original intention, and recover for the better."
In the past year, we can see three "solidities" in Chinese movies. The first is "truth". Many films are based on real people and real events, and It restores our understanding of life as much as possible; the second is the "honesty" of the creator, and the creative attitude of each filmmaker to strive for excellence so that every work can be presented to the audience in the best possible state; the third is "Solid", whether it is the upstream creators or the downstream movie theaters, this year's solid work has ignited a flame of hope for the film market.

Qin
Zhi Feina, a professor at the Film and Television Research Institute of the China Academy of Arts, the Chinese character for the 2023 movie is the word "Qin".
"The industry has been able to recover from the crisis this year, and filmmakers are very hardworking. Actors and actors who have appeared in many films within a year, directors who have created many films, filmmakers who have traveled all over the country for road shows, and who have worked for the industry on various occasions. There are too many entrepreneurs and industrialists to mention."
This year we can see that filmmakers are using their best performance and most diligent efforts to prove that Chinese films are fully recovering; this year we can see that filmmakers Either on the way to the set, on the way to road shows or to various film events.

金
The Chinese character for the 2023 movie in the mind of Zhang Long, a professor at Communication University of China, is the character "jin".
The "gold" on the left side of the word "jin" symbolizes the rapid recovery of China's total movie box office in 2023, which has exceeded 50 billion yuan. The "Silk" on the right side originally means silk fabric and was also used as a carrier for writing in ancient times, symbolizing China in 2023. Many excellent works that record the development of the times have emerged on the big screen. "Gold" represents economic benefits, "Bo" represents social benefits, and the word "Jin" combined with "Gold" and "Bo" means that the development of Chinese films has a bright future, like a flower.
Chinese films this year have shown more diversity, and Chinese films have become more powerful this year. In previous years, there were only a few three or four first films to support the situation of domestic films. This year, there is a splendid scene of a hundred flowers blooming. The situation also heralds a bright future for Chinese films in the new year.
True
host Lan Yu used the word "true" to summarize Chinese movies in 2023.

I was deeply moved by the authenticity, sincerity, and sincerity of Chinese filmmakers and Chinese audiences. Let's join hands. Countless touching stories have been written with images, bringing endless touch and power to this hard-won, colorful spring."
Truth will always shine, sincerity will always move, every filmmaker can capture his true self, and let everyone An audience can see true color, and it also allows Chinese movies to enjoy true love forever.
Let us jointly wish that Chinese movies in 2024 will set sail, like a roc rising with the wind in one day, soaring ninety thousand miles!
