Facing everyone's eyes, Lin Yuquan smiled bitterly, he has always been confident and calm, he has almost never shown such a look in front of outsiders, and this fully highlights his mood at this time, and then said with a wry smile: "You have said a lot just now, I have been listening, don't hide it from everyone, until now I am still struggling in my heart, among these five movies, I like the two movies "Assembly Number" and "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai" the most, and of course I also like the other three movies, especially "Crazy Racing", Not only is this movie wonderful and interesting, but it has also brought me a lot of financial rewards. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yuquan showed a slight relaxed smile, and the other judges, as well as Huang Jianxin and lawyer Cui Zhongzai, who were observing, also smiled.

"The reason for not choosing these three movies, I won't say much here, I just want to talk about my personal opinion on "Assembly" and "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai", "Assembly" movie, I have seen it before, "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai" was only watched by this review, there is no doubt that these two movies are very good, and they are extremely rare Chinese masterpieces, among which the large-scale war scenes of "Assembly" show a majestic and shocking momentum, although compared with "Saving Private Ryan", "Pearl Harbor", " There is still a gap between movies such as "Soldiers in the City", but in Chinese films, it has reached a new height, which is very commendable, and the stubbornness and persistence of Gu Zidi in the later literary drama also deeply moved me.

And throughout the film, "The Assembly" is obviously very well-made. It not only restores the reality of war and human nature to the greatest extent. Every scene is handled realistically and believably. At the same time, each character also faithfully reflects his own social identity, they are in that era, that environment, what they can say, what they can do, their most simple and glorious side.

As for "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai", what to say. I rarely watched this kind of movie before, but after watching it, in terms of the Chinese movies I have watched in the past two years, it is the best one, and the outstanding thing is that it really moved me. As far as the film is concerned, "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai" completely shows a Tin Shui Wai full of life flavor, writing substance, sincere warmth and humanistic care through ordinary daily life. I was even more impressed.

It's hard for me to choose that both movies are good movies. It belongs to a completely different genre, one is a commercial film, the other is a literary film, and they all have their own significance, "Assembly Number" is a closed box that is bound to be a costume type out of a Chinese blockbuster, allowing people to see more space for the future development of Chinese commercial films.

"Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai" is in the ordinary daily life, bringing people an overwhelming emotional touch, I believe everyone should have seen my interview with Phoenix Entertainment before, I said in the interview, in fact, many movies are both commercial literature and art, only good-looking and bad-looking distinction, of course realistic themes should be filmed, but what needs to be filmed makes the audience have the desire to watch. hope, emotions can resonate with it.

Obviously, "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai" is such a literary film that can not only tell the story well, but also arouse the emotional resonance of the audience, which is what I have been looking for. Its significance for Chinese films is to encourage our directors to pay attention to realistic themes, and at the same time point out the direction to directors who shoot realistic themes, how to shoot good realistic themes, yes, just shoot like "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai". I haven't figured out what to do yet, so I've been struggling. Lin Yuquan said with a sad face.

Before that, Lin Yuquan thought that the judges of the film festival only needed to choose their favorite films, but sitting in the position of chairman of the final jury, he suddenly felt that he had a great responsibility on his shoulders, not only just to simply like it, but also to see different things in the movie, and to consider things other than the film itself, such as what is the spirit of the commendation conference and how much power it has to promote the film.

For example, when considering "The Assembly" and "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai", his main consideration is how the two have an impact and help for the development of today's Chinese films, the trouble is that in his opinion, the meaning of both is what Chinese films need, and at present, there are too few good Chinese commercial films and literary films that can tell the story well.

How to choose, this is a trouble that deeply troubles Lin Yuquan, even after listening to the opinions and discussions of other judges, he did not make a final decision.

At this time, he finally knew why some film festivals had the phenomenon of laying double yolks, and if he could, he also wanted to list both films as the film of the year.

"It turns out that you have a headache about this, I don't think you have to have a headache, or that concept, I don't think "The Assembly" can be named the movie of the year, there are too many problems with "The Assembly", yes, this is a good-looking movie, but it can't reach the height of the movie of the year, what's worse is that this movie is a typical combination of "Saving Private Ryan" and "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", the traces of imitation and plagiarism are too heavy, and there are big problems in originality, how can such a movie be named the movie of the year?" Xie Fei said loudly.

"That's right, I also think that "The Assembly" is very problematic, in addition to this, excellent war movies are all anti-war themes, but "The Assembly" can't see this at all, the core of its bones is still the shackles and absurdity of the "order" that Chinese films focus on, and there is a serious lack of human nature, I still think "Vote for Fame" is better, at least it is to shape the characters and frame the story from the height of human nature, as a Chinese-language blockbuster, it can also control the scene and afford the title of the film of the year. Huang Jianeng insisted.

"There is a sentence to say, "Assembly" is not a plagiarism of "Saving Private Ryan" and my "Qiu Ju Lawsuit", but it is just a reference, although the structure before and after is unbalanced, but such a combination is not useless, at least it presents a good Chinese film." Zhang Yi shook his head and said.

"Director Zhang is reasonable, overall, "Assembly" is still a good work. Yes. It somewhat replicates the story structure of "Saving Private Ryan" and "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" to some extent. But it itself is a work of great humanistic care and artistic pursuit, and its reproduction is very successful, isn't it? Aside from anything else, this is a work that is widely popular with audiences, a commercial blockbuster with a Hollywood flair to the general public, and a film that touches emotions for the elite. For the official, this is a good main theme movie, in these three aspects, "The Assembly" has taken care of it, if you don't nitpick, it can afford the honor of the film of the year.

And I don't think there is anything wrong with "The Assembly" copying "Saving Private Ryan", "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", or any other movie, we should see the reality of Chinese movies today, there are very few screenwriters and directors who can make up stories, which leads to very few good Chinese commercial films. We need to learn from Hollywood and learn from the good people. There's no denying it. A large number of copying and plagiarism have led to the decline of Hong Kong films, but it is precisely because of this copying that many good movies have appeared, such as "God of Gamblers", which has led to the emergence of a number of excellent gambling films, including "The Saint of Gamblers" and "The Gambler".

In addition, as Director Lin said, the breakthrough in the subject matter of "Assembly" is worth encouraging, there seem to be too many costume blockbusters now, we need other types of blockbusters, Director Lin's current "Immediate Rescue" is doing such a thing, in the future, we need more movies like this. Zhou Liming said with a smile.

"It's not that "Assembly" is bad at all, but its problems cannot be ignored, relatively speaking, I still prefer to choose "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai", this is another masterpiece of Hui Anhua after "Woman, Forty", "Away Autumn Hate", and "A Thousand Words", which is a sublimation of her film." Li Shaohong said immediately.

Looking at the people who were discussing endlessly, Lin Yuquan shook his head imperceptibly, the reason why he was difficult to choose was that the meaning of both was needed in his opinion, and because both movies had their own problems, good, but not so good that they indisputably overwhelmed the other movie, which made him very entangled.

Which one should I choose? Lin Yuquan listened to everyone's opinions, while continuing to ponder in his heart, there is no doubt that the purpose of the commendation conference is to commend those films that should be encouraged, but at the same time it is best to have a strong role in promoting the development of Chinese films, "Assembly Number" is naturally not a film that represents the highest level of Chinese films, but it is definitely a film worthy of encouragement, "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai" is too low investment, it is difficult to hide the roughness of the production level, and the pattern is not enough, But this film is a film that is enough to make her one of the master series, looking at the whole film, it is unremarkable, but touching, as a work without drama, it is not boring at all, and there is no show off and show-off of an art film, everything is perfect, as if it does not require any skill.

Thinking about it like this, Lin Yuquan gradually made a decision in his heart, and when Senior Lu finished speaking, he said with a firm expression: "Everyone, I have already made a choice, I will talk about my views again, and then we will start to vote, first of all, "The Assembly" is undoubtedly a good movie, compared to "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai", it is remarkable in art and commerce, if you consider the level of the film, it is obviously slightly better, and it has been praised by the media, film critics and audiences, I believe that the choice of it as the film of the year will not cause much controversy, but I personally prefer to choose "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai" directed by Hui Anhua. Comparatively speaking, this is a literary film with a pitiful production cost, no big-name stars, a blandly plot, and the production is more simple than many TV series, and even so miserable that there is no money to find a photographer to take more stills, but it is such a movie, it through the continuous accumulation of human feelings and the normal life of life, such as life, old age, sickness and death, and finally unbelievably burst out with overwhelming emotional energy and warm appeal.

Before that, I thought about a lot of things other than the film itself, such as the film of the year needs to be meaningful to promote the development of Chinese films, and the recognition of the awards by the outside world, but is this the real meaning of our commendation conference? No, there is only one thing we have to do at the commendation conference, and that is to encourage those films and filmmakers who have made extraordinary achievements or are absolutely worthy of encouragement, especially those filmmakers and their films that are low-key and pragmatic, but are invisibly ignored by the media and the audience, and I think this is what we should do the most.

From this point of view, looking at the two films again, the value of "The Assembly" lies in the breakthrough in the subject matter, while "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai" lies in the fact that in such an era when commercial films are prevalent, director Hui Anhua has the courage to use such a back-to-basics technique to shoot a theme that reflects the lives of the residents of Tin Shui Wai. I admire her courage, and I admire her for being able to shoot such a realistic subject so shockingly.

We are always expecting a movie that touches people's hearts, and now in the face of such a great film with profound humanistic care, excellent directorial skills and actors' performances, but only a little lacking in technology, are we not brave enough to give it the reward it deserves?

I have always believed in the truth that any film, whether it is an art film or a commercial film, as long as you produce it sincerely, perform it with heart, and tell the story with all your heart, so that the audience's emotions can resonate with it, it is a good movie. I hope that our choice today can give great encouragement to those filmmakers who have made it quietly, and I also hope that through our choice today, the audience will know that there is such a good movie. ”

After serving as the chairman of the final jury, because he wanted to do a good job in the commendation conference, unconsciously, he had lost his original intention and considered too many things that should not be considered. No, not at all. In that case, why think too much about it, follow your inner voice and choose the movies you like and should be most encouraged.

"Okay, that's all for me, let's start voting, everyone write down the title of the film you think deserves the best film, and put it in the box."

Speaking of this, Lin Yuquan did not hesitate to write "Days and Nights in Tin Shui Wai" on the paper, and then got up and put it into the cardboard box in the conference table.

The other judges all recalled what he said just now, many of them showed a moving look on their faces, and some of the judges exhaled after some consideration, their eyes froze, and they seemed to have made up their minds, and then wrote the title on the paper.

After voting, the votes are naturally counted, according to the rules, as long as the nominees have more than half of the votes, that is, the number of votes reaches more than six, the award is won, if no nominee has more than half of the votes, then the discussion is re-discussed, and then the vote is voted again, and so on, and so on.

The counting of votes was carried out by Lin Yuquan, Huang Jianxin, and Cui Zhongzai, and the counting of only 11 votes naturally did not have any difficulty.

Lin Yuquan quickly returned to his seat, and all the judges also had their eyes on his face, waiting for him to announce the results.

"Thank you for your hard work, the number of votes just now has been more than half, we have completed the selection of the first award, and it is also the most important award, and we continue to select the photography of the year, and the shortlisted for this nomination are "Casting Names", "Painting Wall", "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor"

Although Lin Yuquan did not specify which film won the final award, almost all the judges showed a look of clarity in their eyes.

After Lin Yuquan read the nomination and let everyone express their opinions, the fierce discussion suddenly sounded in the conference room again (to be continued......
