April and May are the peak months of the festival.
At the just-concluded Singapore International Film Festival, Lin Xiaoling won the Best Director Award for going home, and Liu Lin and Xu Jinglei won the Best Actress together.
The Singapore International Film Festival is a regional film festival for Asian films.
The festival has three competition sections, namely Asian Feature Films, Singapore Short Films and Television Films.
Founded in 1987, this film festival is not very well-known even in Asia, but it is still a film award.
It's a means promoted by Columbia Asia Films, which sends their home to film festivals, either to film festivals or to compete in the section.
With an award won at the Venice Film Festival, other film festivals generally do not turn it down.
Especially for small film festivals, going home can also increase their influence.
Lin Xiaoling and Liu Lin went to Singapore together, and Xu Jinglei didn't go there because she had to prepare for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
This is Xu Jinglei's first Best Actress award.
In the entertainment industry, there is a big difference between whether an actor wins an award or not, and with an award, there is capital.
If you can't get an award as an actor, others will treat you as a star, and only when you win an award will you be considered an actor and admit that you have acting skills, instead of eating with your face.
That's the difference between an actor and a star.
Since Xu Jinglei's debut, she has acted in several TV series and movies.
Especially the series that carries out love to the end, while making her famous, the audience also sees her as an idol star.
In the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon crew, several leading actors are either actors or actresses, while Xu Jinglei has only won the best newcomer.
Now that she has the title of Best Actress at the Singapore International Film Festival, she finally has the qualifications to do it.
At the same time, he also participated in the selection of the Golden Bull Award for domestic films.
This time it was not so lucky, this year's Golden Bull Award was held in Shencheng in the north, and the competition was quite fierce.
There are not only Han Sanping's life and death choices, but also Zhang Yimou's movies.
Han Sanping is now the vice chairman of Huaying Group, with a life-and-death decision at the box office exceeding 100 million, and it is the main theme film, which has been widely praised by the audience and industry insiders.
There are some negative reviews, but that's not mainstream.
Those judges dare to say that this film is not artistic, and dare to say that Han Sanping's directing ability is insufficient In Lin Zixuan's view, Han Sanping has the ability to direct, after all, he has studied in the directing department of the film academy for two years, and has also made several films with certain ideological connotations.
But he is definitely not a top director in China, and can only be said to be above average.
Han Sanping's ability lies in film production and management.
Besides, going home has been coldly treated by the General Administration in China, which has almost no impact, and the chance of winning the award is very small, unless the judges of this year's Golden Bull Awards are staunch lovers of literary films.
Even so, there is Zhang Yimou, speaking of literary films, this is the predecessor who makes literary films.
There are too many off-the-field factors in the selection of domestic film awards, and it cannot be said that the judges are inactive, but helpless.
As investors in the choice of life and death, Lin Zixuan and Han Sanping went to Shencheng, accompanied by Lin Xiaoling and Liu Lin and others.
Even if you can't win the award, for an actor like Liu Lin to attend the Golden Bull Award ceremony, it can also increase exposure.
After arriving in Shencheng, Lin Zixuan chatted with Han Sanping.
The atmosphere of the conversation between the two was quite relaxed, mainly because they left the capital, temporarily put down their respective identities, and were able to communicate better.
If you were in the capital, it would be the kind of mode of talking about work, and you can't let it go.
"Yimou should be able to win the Best Director Award this time, I watched his film, it's very good."
Han San commented.
Zhang Yimou's film tells the story of a rural out-of-school child and shows the current situation of education in rural China.
He originally wanted to participate in the Cannes Film Festival in May this year, but the president of this year's Cannes Film Festival thought that the film was promoting the Chinese government and had political implications, so he refused to allow the film to be shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival.
Zhang Yimou announced his withdrawal from the Cannes Film Festival and broke with Cannes.
Han Sanping and Zhang Yimou don't have much intersection, they belong to contemporaries and have studied in film schools, but Zhang Yimou is a photography major, and Han Sanping only studied in the advanced class for two years.
In the eighties, the two started as directors.
Zhang Yimou became an internationally renowned director, and Han Sanping became the deputy director of Bashan Film Factory, and embarked on different paths.
As a director, Han Sanping actually wants to win an award to be recognized, and he misses that period of life as a director very much.
This life-and-death decision may win the Best Feature Film Award, but it is difficult for Han Sanping to win the Best Director.
"Director Zhang's movies are becoming more and more full of life now."
Lin Zixuan responded.

"Yes, it meets the needs of the times."
Han Sanping nodded.
The two have the same meaning, that is, Zhang Yimou is now moving closer to the official and the market, and is no longer blindly pursuing literature and art.
In fact, Zhang Yimou has always paid attention to the market and considered the feelings of the audience, so his movies have a good box office.
Lin Zixuan and Han Sanping mentioned the matter of filming a longing sequel.
Cooperating with the movie channel is actually cooperating with China Film Group.
Before 99 years, the movie channel and Huaguo TV belonged to the same system, although the movie channel was an independent unit, but the staffing including the host was the establishment of the TV station.
After the establishment of Huaying Group, the movie channel became a subsidiary of the group and had no relationship with Huaguo TV.
For the matter of longing for the copyright of the TV series, Han Sanping also feels tricky.
Huaying Group and Huaguo TV have one in charge of movies and the other in charge of TV, which are at the same level.
Han Sanping felt that the idea of filming a longing sequel was very interesting, needless to say, the influence of the desire would definitely have a strong repercussion in society as long as the quality of the film could be guaranteed.
He has just entered Huaying Group, and his superiors hope to produce results as soon as possible.
The first film produced by Huaying Group after its establishment is quite important, so it has to be a good start.
It is necessary not only to reassure the superior leaders, but also to satisfy the audience, and to obtain praise from industry insiders, and the box office should not be too bad.
So it seems, the longed-for sequel is a good project.
The choice of life and death has become a thing of the past, which represents his achievements in the Beijing Film Studio, and now as the vice chairman of Huaying Group, he has to start again.
"I'll think about it."
Han San commented on his heart.
There are no surprises at this year's Golden Bull Film Awards.
The choice of life and death won the Best Feature Film Award, Zhang Yimou won the Best Director Award, and went home and only won one Best Editing, which was considered a consolation award. t1706231537:
