Yan Bingyan and her "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" seem a little out of place among the five finalists, the other four are all stars, and she is an actor, the other four movies all have a box office of over 100 million, and "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" is only 2.5 million, not a joke, nor a scolding, it was painted after 14 days of release because the box office was too poor, and the cumulative box office was 2.5 million yuan.

The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by the famous female writer Fang Fang, telling the ups and downs of the life of Li Baoli, the "female flat dan" played by Yan Bingyan, and the warmth, pain and helplessness of life, this is a standard literary film, but it is also a good-looking literary film, which feels a bit like "The Piano of Steel" to He Mu, in fact, it is very interesting, after the release, it was strongly recommended by Guo Degang, Ni Ping, Ren Zhiqiang, Yu Dan, Cui Yongyuan, Cui Jian and other celebrities, but unfortunately the box office table is mediocre.

But God is still fair, although the box office of "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" is poor, but there are many awards, speaking of which, Yan Bingyan is definitely a strong competitor of the popular Zhang Ziyi, with the role of Li Baoli, Yan Bingyan has won the Best Actress at the 20th Beijing University Student Film Festival, the Best Actress at the 13th Chinese Film Media Awards, the Best Actress at the 15th China Film Huabiao Awards (co-won with Zhang Ziyi) and the Best Actress Award at the 3rd Beijing International Film Festival. Yan Bingyan and Zhang Ziyi are not compatible.

It is worth mentioning that director Xie Fei, chairman of the jury of this year's Golden Dragon Awards, is still the producer of this film, and I don't know how this relationship will affect this good movie of "the emperor on word-of-mouth and the beggar at the box office".

As an actor, He Mu cares about the situation of the best actor and actress. Similarly, as a director, he will definitely pay attention to the shortlist for Best Director and Best Picture. glanced at it a little, well, yes, with his name, it seems that he is really more promising as a director.

He Mu has no directorial works in 13 years, and his shortlisted work is "Zi Buyu 3" at the end of 12 years, and the big directors who are tied with him include Chen Kexin ("Chinese Partner"). Wong Kar-wai ("The Grandmaster"), Johnny To ("Drug War") and Feng Xiaogang ("1942"), He Mu is the youngest one to be shortlisted with these four. He Mu has nothing to say even if he doesn't win the award in the end, just being shortlisted already represents the audience's and judges' affirmation of him.

In addition to the two awards of Best Director and Best Actress, the ultimate award for Best Film "Zi Bu Yu 3" was also shortlisted.

In the shortlisted rules announced by the Golden Dragon Award Organizing Committee a month ago, all award nominations are five. can only be less. Not more, but the best film is an exception, and the organizing committee has changed the rules so that the number of best films is not fixed. In the new rules, 10 films are first selected after several rounds of selection, and then the judges vote for the ten films with one vote each, and the top five are the shortlists for the best film, but there is one. Any film with more than 10% votes will be eligible for the shortlist. In other words, there can be up to 9 Best Picture nominees.

Of course, that's the ideal state, because these works must have big hits, the votes are very high, and some are relatively unpopular, 5 out of 10, it's not easy to get 10%, fortunately, there are six movies with more than 10% of the votes this year, so there are six shortlists for the best film, in addition to "Zi Bu Yu 3", there are also "Chinese Partner", "The Grandmaster", "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart", "1942", "Da Ming Tribulation", and the four films that unfortunately fell off the list include Xu Zheng's "Thai Embarrassment" and Fei Xing's "National Witness" , Zhao Wei's "To Youth", Wei Desheng's "Shennongjia Big Footprints", all of them are movies of Shuimu Forest, I don't know if they were secretly suppressed.

Among these six movies, "Zi 3", "The Grandmaster", "1942", and "Partner" have a combined box office of more than 2 billion, all of which are masterpieces with equal emphasis on box office and word-of-mouth, and are the movies with the widest audience this year, while the combined box office of "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart" and "Da Ming Tribulation" is less than 10 million, but no one will ignore them, because they have the same director - Wang Jing!

Although the associate professor from the Department of Photography of Beijing Film was not shortlisted for the Best Director Award, he has two works shortlisted for Best Film, even if he does not have that title, but in the hearts of many people, he is the best director, and the two films he presented in 13 years are all movies with high reputation and ratings, but because there are no big-name stars and vigorous publicity, the box office is mediocre, but it retains some good reputation for Chinese films, at this time He Mu began to pay attention to the teacher Wang who taught him the use of photographic equipment when he was in class at the film school.

"Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" and "Da Ming Tribulation" can appear in the shortlist of best films, but "Thai Embarrassment" and "Shennongjia's Big Footprints" do not, which fully shows that the Golden Dragon Award attaches more importance to the connotation and depth of a film, reflecting the respect for film art.

In fact, the Golden Dragon Award did it, as soon as the shortlist was announced, director Wang Jing suddenly became well-known from obscurity, and his two films were not only shortlisted for Best Picture.

In addition to the Best Picture nomination, "The Great Ming Tribulation" also has a nomination for Best Supporting Actor (Dai Liren) and a nomination for Best Original Screenplay, a total of three nominations. In addition to the nominations for Best Picture and Best Actress, "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart" was also shortlisted for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Soundtrack, and Best Sound Effects, a total of five nominations, which is quite a lot of nominations among all the shortlisted films, and the Golden Dragon Award is definitely a great love for director Wang Jing.

With five nominations, including two of the four awards, it is definitely the favorite of the Golden Dragon Award, but there are also super favorites that are more powerful than "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart".

"Chinese Partner", a reality-themed film filmed by Chen Kexin based on the founder of New Oriental English after the box office reputation failure of "Martial Arts", achieved a win-win situation at the word-of-mouth box office, and was shortlisted for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor (Tong Dawei), Best New Actor (Du Juan), Best Original Screenplay (Lin Aihua/Zhou Zhiyong/Zhang Ji), Best Cinematography (Christopher Doyle), Best Original Music (Jin Peida) A total of eight nominations were made in the Golden Horse Awards list, and all of them were heavyweight awards.

In addition to Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor, there are also ten nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Supporting Actor (Li Xuejian), Best Supporting Actress (Wang Ziwen), Best Cinematography (Lu Le), Best Art Direction (Shi Haiying), Best Styling Design (Tim Yip), and Best Sound Effects.

At the 50th Golden Horse Awards, "The Grandmaster" received 11 nominations, and finally won 5 awards, and the Hong Kong Film Awards received an astonishing 14 nominations. At the Golden Dragon Awards, "The Grandmaster" also did not lose the momentum, and it has the meaning of winning the award to the end, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor (Zhang Jin), Best Cinematography (Philip. Lesu), Best Editing, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Action Design, Best Sound Effects, Best Visual Effects, tied the number of Golden Horse Award nominations and was shortlisted for 11 awards.

However, "The Grandmaster" is not the most nominated at the Golden Dragon Awards, and the most nominated honors belong to "Zi Buyu 3", a sequel movie, a movie adapted from a girl's comic, a strange and chaotic movie in which children sing the leading role, and a work of He Mu's hard work.

Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Original Score, Best Original Song, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects, Best Editing, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup, a total of 13 nominations! This is the most popular series of movies in the mainland "Zi Bu Yu" at the Golden Dragon Awards, He Mu has been watching it, and more than half of them can see the name of "Zi Bu Yu", he is very proud, which shows that the movie "Zi Bu Yu" created by him is deeply loved and has reached a very surprising balance between art and business.

From this shortlist, it can be seen that there are four popular movies on the Golden Dragon Awards, namely "Zi Buyu 3", "The Grandmaster", "1942" and "Chinese Partner", they are distributed by Shuimu Forest, Bona, Huayi Brothers and Guangguang Media, with a box office of more than 300 million, and Douban Time.com scores are above seven points, which is a masterpiece with both word-of-mouth and box office. Considered to be a blockbuster dark horse at the Golden Dragon Awards, it is the fifth hit after the four hits, and this movie has been mentioned repeatedly recently, which has played a role in neutralizing the Golden Dragon Awards' excessive emphasis on the market, bringing a touch of literature and art to the Golden Dragon Awards.

In addition to the above five films, there are also some shortlisted films that have also received considerable nominations, but because they failed to stand out in the four awards, they are slightly inferior, the first is "To Youth" directed by Zhao Wei, which has even more nominations than "Ten Thousand Arrows Pierce the Heart", including Best New Director (Zhao Wei), Best New Actor (Yang Zishan), Best Supporting Actor (Bao Bell), Best Supporting Actress (Liu Yase), Best Adapted Screenplay (Li Wall), Best Original Song (Faye Wong), There were seven nominations for Best Art Direction (Li Yang).
