Chapter 730 Golden Dragon Award: Competition for Short Films

Because the current film and television industry as a whole has entered a relatively powerful environment, few people care about documentaries that are not profitable. The grass-roots team drawn up by a young director has no hands, no funds, and an empty ideal. It is certain that they will not be able to make a perfect documentary.

Therefore, domestic documentaries should not be too strict. In the selection of the Golden Dragon Awards, there is no distinction between feature films and short films. China" is particularly eye-catching.

The development of domestic documentaries has always been in its infancy, there are really not many good works, and the audience has not developed the habit of enjoying documentaries in theaters. Even the famous superstar director Jiang Wen personally dubbed the Chinese narration for the documentary master Jacques Perhan's "Ocean". But the mainland box office is still very embarrassing.

In comparison, the development of documentaries in Taiwan is relatively healthy, and there is no shortage of high-quality products, such as "Seeing Taiwan", which won the Golden Horse Award last year. How many years has it been since the mainland released such a "A Bite of China" in It has aroused great repercussions at home and abroad, and it can be regarded as opening a new era of domestic documentaries. Regardless of the profitability and production methods, it is worth learning from other documentary practitioners, so its award is definitely expected.The next thing to be awarded is the best short film award. In order to distinguish it from the best animated short film later, it can be called the best live-action short film award. The famous director Jia Zhangke presents the award. Many future great directors may start from a ten-and-a-half-minute long film. It is possible that one or two real directors will emerge from the shortlisted directors.

It can be seen from the video clips on the silver screen.Among the five shortlisted works are "Call Me Dad", which shows the affection between father and daughter; Peerless Master".In addition, there are "Bad Future" with a sci-fi flavor and "Scavenger Boy", which has already won the Golden Horse Best Short Film Award.

The director of these five works, He Mu, basically knows or even knows each other. Needless to say, "Call Me Dad", the director is called Beast Yi Xiaoxing, a pioneer of Internet photographers, and has a good relationship with He Mu. Tudou.com is a strategic partner, and Wanhe Tianyi and Tudou.com jointly launched "Unexpectedly" and "Report to the Boss".

Bi Xinye, the director of "I want to be in the top ten", is a student of China Media and Li Fatty's younger brother.His mother is an insider and has worked with Mizuki before. His directorial debut film "Goodbye Jinhua Station" was also recommended by He Mu on Weibo.He appreciates the talent of this young man. "I want to be in the top ten" is the second part of his high school trilogy. It is said that he will invite stars to participate in the filming of the third part. "Hip-Hop Trilogy" consists of three parts, directed by director Lu Zhengyu. "Peerless Master" is the first one.It is completely in the style of Shaw Brothers old Hong Kong films. It looks very interesting and makes people marvel at the director's whimsy. Lu Zhengyu has now signed a contract with Shuimu Forest. He was one of the screenwriters of "Qin Shihuang vs. Aliens". The huge box office sales also gave Lu Zhengyu the capital to negotiate with Mizuki, and now his second big movie plan has started.It's the type of comedy he's good at.

Li Yang, the director of "Bad Future", is the "bad pilot" who created "The Adventures of Li Xianji". Back then, He Mu bought the right to adapt the short animated film.However, there has been no mature adaptation idea for a long time. Now that Lan Mingzhu and Dewey have taken over the case, they will create a big production full of whimsical ideas, and finally they can have an explanation to Li Yang.

The last "Scavenger Boy" has long been famous, and it has already won an award at the Golden Horse before it was broadcast on the Internet. Now it is a big favorite to win the award with the Golden Horse Yuwei and the Golden Dragon. After all, this is a very sentimental film. The filming technique is also very mature.

Mainland online short films and micro-movies have been very popular in recent years, and a large number of classic works have emerged, and they have also exported many thoughtful talents to the mainland film industry. The Chopsticks Brothers should be regarded as the most prominent example. Their big movie "Old Boy" "Way of the Dragon" is currently filming in the United States.Those Internet shooters from grassroots have great fame on the Internet, but directors who don’t want to go to theaters are not good directors. Internet directors with ideas are definitely not satisfied that their works can only be spread on the Internet, making a feature film , to be screened in theaters, this is the wish of each of them. For this wish, all five directors came to the Golden Dragon Awards site, waiting for the announcement of the final result. The great director is also very good, maybe it will help me in my future development.

As Jia Zhangke opened the envelope, five cameras pointed at the five directors in the arena, "The final winner is..."Call Me Dad", named Beast Yi Xiaoxing, congratulations!"

Under the stage, Ming Beast with a tea egg head stood up calmly, very different from his usual funny style, while Bai Ke (Wang Dahammer), Liu Xunzimo, Kong Lianshun and others around him all applauded desperately, They acted more excited than they won the award. Their boss won the first Golden Dragon Award. The road ahead will definitely be smoother. In fact, they are already very good now. Bai Ke and Kong Lianshun even joined Han Han's team Although "The Future Will Be Unexpected", although it is only a small role, it can be regarded as an important step from the Internet to reality. Their achievements in the future will definitely not be limited to the Internet.

Yi Xiaoxing, who is known for being funny and commercial, conquered the judges with a 9-minute short film that is slightly exaggerated and funny. Unknown young directors and young actors who have fought tens of thousands of times on the Internet are sensational, and they came from grassroots. It is not easy for them to walk this way, and it is even more difficult to get ahead. As the most typical and successful Internet photographer, Yi Xiao Xing cherishes what he has now, but he is also full of enthusiasm and ambition for the future.

After the best live-action short film is the best animated short film. The situation of the two is similar. When making short films, there are many excellent works that are well-received. The scores on Douban are basically above seven points, and there are quite a few eight points. It is often difficult to get good reviews for feature films.The five nominated animated short films are all well-produced and well-received, namely "Kung Fu Rabbit and Vegetable Dog", "Entrance Exam", and "Running All the Way!" ! ", "Fox Fairy", "Wu Zhi Meng".

After watching the clips of the five short films, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, because judging from the clips alone, these five works are really excellent, especially the two cg films "Entrance Examination" and "The Story of the Fox Fairy". Especially the animation works, the animals and characters in it are lifelike, and even have the level of Hollywood cartoons.

"Fox Fairy" is a story about a beautiful fox demon and two hunters produced by Ma Chao, a Chinese student who graduated from the French animation school supinfo. It took four people to make it together for a year. Although the story is relatively ordinary, the technology It's already top-notch.

"Entrance Examination" and "Fox Fairy" are both CG animations, close to the mainstream Hollywood animation style. It is a sincere work created by a young couple in the city, Tang Boqing and Zeng Xiaolan, with 5 computers and 15 months. It tells the story of several little mice being tested to steal eggs. Finally, after one failure, a little mouse realized the secret and completed the journey of stealing eggs.Once this animation was released on the Internet, it aroused wide acclaim. After watching it, He Mu once told Ye Xuan that as long as their "Shook and Beta" can have the agility and level of "Entrance Examination", it will definitely cause a sensation. This 7-minute short film also inspired all the colleagues in Lotus Leaf Animation. They have so many animation elites, such sophisticated equipment, and such advanced technology. If they are compared by a young couple, it would be a shame. Yes, their goal is to do better than the "Entrance Examination".

Coincidentally, "Entrance Examination" already won the Golden Dragon Award, the highest honor in the animation industry, last year. I don't know if it can win the Golden Dragon Award in the film industry.

The other three shortlisted works, "A Dream of Martial Arts" are also CG animations, and their production is far inferior to "Entrance Examination" and "Fox Fairy". It was independently produced by a teacher named Li Jin from Communication University in three years. Although the production It is a little rough on the surface, but the setting of Zhen Zidan pk Bruce Lee has attracted a large number of kung fu fans. In this animated short film, Bruce Lee is resurrected and has a big battle with the latecomer Zhen Zidan, which makes people excited to watch. Finally It is also embarrassing for Bruce Lee to leap into the air and turn into a wisp of dust.

"Kung Fu Rabbit and Vegetable Dog" actually became famous on the Internet nine years ago, and its unique style was loved by the majority of netizens, but at that time it was called "Shaolin Rabbit and Wudang Dog", and later changed its name to "Kung Fu Rabbit". Two years ago, its director Li Zhiyong established Jiang Jiang Studio, and only then did he determine the current name, and made every effort to build this brand. Coupled with the full support of China Media behind him, the creation speed has also been greatly improved.

"Running all the way! ! "is a collective creation work. The animetaste animators led by Liu Cong and Wang Tianfang take running as the theme, express the texture and style of their own animation in a few seconds of video, and finally put all the short The videos are collaged together in a pre-designed fashion to form an excellent animated short.

The five short-listed animated short films are all momentary masterpieces. Compared with the Best Animation Award, it is difficult to pick out five nominated works. In fact, there are still a few short-listed animated short films that are quite good, but five shortlisted The number of places cannot be changed, just as only one award cannot be changed, "The winner of the best animated short film is..." The award presenter Nicholas Tse paused for a while.
