There are also Best Director, Best Actor and Actor, Best Artistic Contribution Award, and Audience Award. As well as the "Asian Style" Award for the Best Asian Film, in addition to this year's East Film Festival, there is also a new Kurosawa Award, named after the Emperor of the Japanese film industry, Kurosawa Akira. Of course, awards are given to those who have made outstanding contributions. director, this award can be understood as a lifetime achievement award specially established for directors.
The awards at international film festivals are generally not very numerous, and the awarding process goes very quickly. The Best Artistic Contribution Award was won by Japanese director Morisaki Azuma's "Barefoot Chicks", and the Audience Award was won by the famous Korean movie star Song Kang-ho. "The Barber of Filial Son Cave" won. When the "Asian Style" Best Asian Film Award was awarded, Xu Jinglei, Ning Hao, and not far away Sylvia Chang and Pang Haoxiang all looked nervous. Their films were all shortlisted for this unit. , but there are more than 20 outstanding Asian films that have been shortlisted at the same time, and they are not confident that they will win the award.
Fortunately, the final winner was the Chinese, with China, Japan and South Korea each winning one prize. "The winner of the 'Asian Wind' Best Asian Film Award is 'Green Grass' from China, directed by Ning Hao!" With the host's Japanese and simultaneous English translation, the audience burst into warm applause.
Although he could not understand Japanese and was not very good at English, Ning Hao could hear the lame word "Ning Hao" in the host's mouth. He excitedly hugged his wife next to him and kissed her, and then said, "The villain succeeds." took the stage to receive the trophy and a bonus of US$10,000. Xu Jinglei and other unsuccessful directors also generously gave sincere applause.
The next Best Actor award was won by Ozas Nuspey, the leading actor in the Kazakhstan film "Szo's Love", and the female lead was won by Mirela Pascue, the leading actress in the Uruguayan film "Whiskey". , but she did not attend the film festival, and the leading actor took the lead on her behalf. The winner of the Best Director award was Korean director Lim Jin-sang who directed "The Barber of Hyojadong". The next thing to be awarded is the Special Jury Award. This is the second largest award in the film category of the film festival, second only to Jin Qilin. Lu Chuan's "Kekexili" has the highest voice for winning Jin Qilin. I guess he must be blessing him in his heart now. "Don't be me, don't be me", because it's impossible to win the highest honor, Jin Qilin, if you win the special jury award. But the fate doesn't work out and the special jury award is awarded to "Kekexili". Lu Chuan goes on stage to receive the trophy and 20,000 yuan. Although he was a little disappointed with the US dollar prize, he still looked satisfied and thanked all the members of the jury as well as Huayi Brothers and Columbia who invested in and supported his filming.
The best film Jin Qilin and the US$100,000 prize were won by the Uruguayan film "Whiskey". The film not only won Jin Qilin but also won the best actress award, becoming the biggest winner of this year's East Film Festival.
The final award was the Akira Kurosawa Award. This award was finally awarded to Steven Spielberg and Yoji Yamada, chairman of the jury of this year's East Film Festival. He has directed "The Story of Torajiro", "Twilight Seibei" " and other famous films have a very high status in the Japanese film industry. Spielberg was not present in person, but he greeted everyone via remote camera and expressed his admiration for Master Akira Kurosawa and his joy at receiving this award.
So far, the 17th Tokyo International Film Festival has come to an end. This time, the Chinese-language film won the Special Jury Award and the "Asian Wind" Best Asian Film Award. This is a big gain and has maintained the consistent strength of Chinese-language films at the Tokyo Film Festival. , the participation of a large number of Chinese filmmakers also gave this East Asian Film Festival a Chinese style. In particular, Mai Chong, who is still relatively new to the film industry, stole the show and successfully established himself and "Lanling Mask". ¡·The title.
¡°However, this year¡¯s East Film Festival also exposed some problems. For example, no heavyweight international filmmakers participated in the opening ceremony, and more than half of the participating films were Japanese films. Some activities did not use internationally accepted English and only used Japanese, which brought considerable confusion to many foreign filmmakers. Inconvenience, all these problems can't help but make people doubt the authority of the East Film Festival as one of the top international film festivals and Asia's leading international film festival.
While the East Film Festival was being questioned, many people began to compare it with the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea. As a latecomer, the Busan Film Festival was established less than ten years ago. With the efforts of the Korean government, the Busan City Government and the Korean film industry, With the support, it is getting stronger and its popularity has risen several levels. More and more Asian films and even films outside Asia have begun to use Busan as a platform to promote their films. Now it has become the second largest international film festival in Asia, the Busan International Film Festival. The festival has a tendency to challenge the status of the East Film Festival. However, this is a headache for the organizing committee of the East Film Festival. What worries Mai Chong is when China can have an international film festival or film festival with widespread influence.
Now there is a domestic film director with the reputation of international filmThe most famous one is the Shanghai International Film Festival, and it is also Category A. In addition to awards, it also has a film screening unit, but its influence is far inferior to that of the Tokyo International Film Festival at the same level, and even in film exhibitions and Even the Busan Film Festival is not as good as the Busan Film Festival in terms of promoting local films and introducing excellent international films. Moreover, the Golden Goblet Award and the gold content of the Best Actor and Best Actress of the Shanghai Film Festival have also been questioned by many. In almost every Shanghai Film Festival, the best in the main competition section Almost always one of the three categories of film and best actor and actress must be a Chinese actor. This does not mean that Chinese-language films are bad. Chinese actors are not as good as those from other countries, so they cannot win this award. In fact, the performance of those who can be shortlisted is not bad. Their acting skills are so good. Things are so vague that it¡¯s hard to say who is better than the other, but no more mature international film festival can be so obscene. They tend to favor domestic films and actors. The Shanghai International Film Festival has been held for seven times, but a Chinese person has appeared. The number of movie kings and five Chinese movie queens is enough to make people question its professionalism and authority.
A film festival with a high international reputation is of great benefit to the development of a country's film industry. It can accelerate domestic and international exchanges and narrow the gap. It can also introduce more and better concepts to domestic filmmakers and contribute to domestic film festivals. The audience broadens their horizons and improves their movie-watching taste, but it is a pity that there is no such film festival in China.
After the award ceremony, he slept in the hotel again. The next day, Mai Chong couldn't wait to fly back to China. He also bought a ticket for Chu Xuan and asked her to sit in the first class cabin with him. They were chatting and laughing to avoid suspicion. The big stars who were traveling with them also got to know this famous beautiful reporter and accepted exclusive interviews from her. After seeing the closeness between her and Mai Chong, they couldn't help but try their best to imagine things. speculation about the relationship between Mai Chong and her.
As for Fatty Ou who has not come back for the time being, he still has some business matters to discuss. After "Green Grass" won the award, his net worth has increased significantly. Of course, he wants to maximize his profits. If he can kill, he will kill. If he can't, it doesn't matter. Anyway, "Green Grass" "Grassland" This investment will definitely help anyone pay, and it will also greatly increase his confidence in Ning Hao. He is looking forward to Ning Hao's new work. In addition, it is time to start looking for partners for the Asia-Pacific distribution of "Lanling Mask". While the film businessmen from various countries have not left, some problems can be solved first.
The return date of Mai Chong and his entourage has long been announced, and this was also under Owen's instruction. After all, their trip to Tokyo was quite successful, and they did not have to return home in despair, so when they got off the plane, they encountered a large number of reporters and movie fans. of containment. The combined weight of Mai Chong, Chen Kun, Fan Bingbing, Xia Yu and Li Bingbing is still very heavy. Those fans who like them gathered together to form a powerful force. In order not to affect the normal operation of the airport, Mai Chong and the others also He simply answered a few questions, signed a few names, and left in a hurry. Chu Xuan also took advantage of the chaos to quietly leave Mai Chong and blend into the crowd, and disappeared after a while.
Sitting in the car prepared by the company, he looked at the movie fans holding signs behind him. Although the number of people holding "Maichong signs" was not the most, Mai Chong was in a great mood. It was indeed a great sense of accomplishment to have so many people like him. He remembered that when he first arrived in Beijing two years ago, he witnessed the chaos at the airport caused by Zhao Wei's appearance. At that time, he joked to Luo Qingqing that one day he would paralyze the airport, although he is now It's not even close. His fans stopped making loud noises after being frightened a few times by security guards, but he believes that with the speed of his promotion, this day is definitely not far away.

When Mai Chong and the others were out of the country, the domestic entertainment media never stopped reporting on them. In particular, the "Beijing Daily" was always able to publish some of the most private news as quickly and accurately as possible. This made the "Beijing Daily" The surge in sales has also strengthened Chu Xuan's position in the newspaper, and her reputation has once again become famous in the industry. The title "Sister Xuan" has also begun to spread from within the newspaper to the industry. Many people say that Sister Xuan's background Very tough.
The appearance at the East Film Festival also announced that "Lanling Mask" and "Kung Fu" have entered a high-profile promotion period. The two films have gained good reputations in Tokyo. These reputations have been seen by movie fans through domestic media promotions. They are all excited, which indicates that they will enjoy an audio-visual feast in two months. They will watch "Kung Fu" for fun and "Lanling Mask" for passion. However, for the theater tycoons, this is not the case. This is not a good thing, it indicates that the other party will have more room to bargain with them.
