On the shore of Yanqi Lake, the stars are shining. Yesterday, the opening red carpet of the 15th Beijing International Film Festival was held at the Yanqi Lake International Convention and Exhibition Center in Huairou Province.

The tandem show pays homage to classic films

Chaplin's black top hat and mustache in "Modern Times", the reporter and princess riding motorcycles in "Roman Holiday", the cheongsam and suit in "In the Mood for Love...... This year coincides with the 10th anniversary of the birth of world cinema and the 0th anniversary of the birth of Chinese cinema, and the red carpet of the Beijing Film Festival has set up a special opening show to pay tribute to film and television classics with 0 sets of performances.

The curtain opened, and the filmmakers appeared in the style of classic films, presenting "Dingjun Mountain", "Modern Times", "Angel on the Road", "Roman Holiday", "Jingwumen", "Zorro", "Journey to the West", "In the Mood for Love", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "The Wandering Earth", "Nezha" and other tandem performances.

Black suit, black top hat, exaggerated eyebrows and dark eye makeup, coupled with the iconic mustache, Yin Xiaotian, who appeared on the red carpet, has been dressed as Chaplin, making people completely unrecognizable. In the tribute performance, he gave full play to the advantages of being good at dancing, imitating classic movements such as Chaplin's bow, figure-eight step, and turning and kicking. "In my opinion, Chaplin is a humorous way to respond to the helplessness and frustration that life brings." Yin Xiaotian said frankly that the biggest difficulty in this performance was to grasp the balance and show Chaplin's "elegant clumsiness". "Chaplin can shoot more than 300 for a scene in "City Lights", and this kind of meticulous craftsmanship of the work is worth learning from."

Zhang Yuqi was wearing a cheongsam, Xu Weizhou was wearing a suit, and as soon as the two appeared, they knew that this was a tribute to the movie "In the Mood for Love". Talking about this performance, Zhang Yuqi said frankly that the biggest difficulty is to reproduce Maggie Cheung's towering retro hair in the film. "We went to the film's stylist, Zhang Shuping, who called the hairstylist who was doing Maggie Cheung's hair at the time, and when we called, the store was closed and no one could be found. Later, it took a long time to find a teacher who made retro styling to make it, and I was very touched that there were so many people to help. In order to get into the mood, she began to play movie clips and songs over and over again from the day before, immersing herself in the story.

Wang Dongcheng and Zhong Xintong performed the romantic love between the princess and the reporter in "Roman Holiday". Wang Dongcheng said that this movie has always been his favorite, two people from different worlds obviously love each other, but they are not together in the end, this regret is heartbreaking. "I think everyone has experienced this kind of unforgettable emotion, and maybe imperfection is the most beautiful. I hope that everyone can cherish the moment, cherish what you love, and grasp it when you encounter true love. He also revealed that he originally planned to take Zhong Xintong on the red carpet on a motorcycle, but he didn't expect the rain to be too heavy to do so, "But it doesn't matter, just let everyone feel this classic love story." ”

Many new domestic films are fancy publicity

The red carpet of the Beijing Film Festival is an excellent position for the promotion of new films, and many domestic new film crews use tricks to introduce their works to the audience.

Chang Yuan held a bouquet made of grilled sausages, Wang Yaoqing held a cup of wolfberries, Yi Xiaoxing simply made the grilled sausages into a hairpin and put it on his head, and the crew of "A Good Start in Life" brought laughter as soon as they appeared. Director Yi Xiaoxing said that live streaming is very popular now, but it has also brought a lot of problems, and he wants to explore the truth and falsehood of life through this theme. Chang Yuan said that he contributed a lot of laughs to this hilarious comedy. Wang Yaoqing, who was on the side, added that the film not only has comedy elements, but also makes a lot of criticism of some of the current situation of modern society, which has a certain seriousness.

When the main creator of the movie "Ruyi Hotel" walked on the red carpet, although he wore a suit and leather shoes, he put a towel printed with the words "Ruyi Hotel" on his arm. The story of the film takes place in the Ruyi Hotel, the plot is compact and full of suspense. Pan Binlong introduced that this time he played a very happy role, simple and optimistic but ill-fated. Qiao Shan, who has starred in comedies many times, does not have too many funny scenes in this work, he plays a more persistent policeman. Wang Yanhui said in a mysterious tone that he played a "gentle and introverted" boss in the film.

Directed by Qiu Litao and starring Andy Lau, Ni Ni, Ou Hao, Huang Yi, etc., the economic crime-themed commercial blockbuster "Gold Hunting Game" will be released on 1/0. Lin Xiaoqiang, the producer of the film, said that this work presents various "unspoken rules" and bad works in the financial circle to the audience in a relaxed style, and hopes that everyone will invest carefully after watching the movie and protect their wallets. Ou Hao revealed that in the film, he played a young migrant worker who was lucky enough to get a ticket to the financial circle, met the master played by Andy Lau, and "upgraded to fight monsters" all the way. Huang Yi, who plays President Li Hailun in the film, said with a smile that she "acted coolly" this time: "This character looks like she is ready all the time, she has a blueprint in her brain, and she can strategize for her subordinates and work layout, this kind of domineering feeling is too good!" ”

Jiang Wen's six judges appeared

Under the leadership of Jiang Wen, chairman of the jury, Chen Chong, Ye Jintian, Ni Ni, David Yates, Taimu Nikki, and Vincent Perez, judges of the International Jury Committee of the 15th Beijing International Film Festival "Temple of Heaven Award", appeared on the opening red carpet. Chen Chong said that she is particularly looking forward to the next work of the judges, and wants to see the 15 works shortlisted for the main competition unit as soon as possible and discuss them with the six outstanding filmmakers. She also lamented that the rain that day "fell very well", saying that it was "the first time in her life to walk the red carpet in the rain".

Actor Ni Ni, who served as a judge of the "Temple of Heaven Award" for the first time, admitted that she had participated in the Beijing Film Festival many times, but it was the first time to be a judge of the main competition unit, "everything is very fresh". "I would be nervous if I participated in a work, but this time I can calm down and watch the movie and discuss it with the teachers." Compared with Ni Ni's excitement, Jiang Wen, the chairman of the jury, was much calmer, and he had his hands in his pockets throughout the whole process, looking domineering. When asked about his plans to be a judge, he simply said, "Let's talk about it after reading it", and sold it enough.

Chen Sicheng, Rao Xiaozhi, Dong Runnian, Xu Yuezhen, Zhang Zifeng and other 5 filmmakers constitute the lineup of the final review committee of this year's Beijing Film Festival venture capital unit, and screenwriter Zhang Ji serves as the artistic director. Talking about the selection criteria, Chen Sicheng, the chairman of the jury, said that he most valued whether the works had the potential to move people and whether they could "sincerely dialogue with the world". In his opinion, a good film project needs to be both artistic and commercial. "Throughout the ages, all works of art have been of great commercial nature, so that they can be handed down. If there is no commerciality, artistry is empty talk. This is also a goal that all of us creators should pursue consistently. Rao Xiaozhi agrees with this, saying that there is no contradiction between emotional resonance and creative expression. He hopes that young filmmakers will pay attention to the characterization in their works, and write scripts with "love and pathos for the characters".
