(Taipei) Films from mainland China led Taiwan’s Golden Horse Awards last night as expected. Internationally renowned director Zhang Yimou won his first Golden Horse award. The posthumous film Elephant Sitting on the Floor by young mainland writer and director Hu Bo who committed suicide earlier won the best award.For the feature film award, the actor is Xu Zheng, I am not the god of medicine.
The 55th Golden Horse Awards Ceremony in Taiwan was held last night at the Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall in Taipei, hosted by Tao Jingying.Most of the nominations for this year's major awards at the Golden Horse Awards went to filmmakers from mainland China.After the results were announced, among the four major awards, only Best Actress won by Taiwanese actress Xie Yingxuan who fell in love with him first.
The 68-year-old Zhang Yimou has won many awards at international film festivals, and was nominated for an Oscar in the United States for his role in The Red Lantern. However, he has never won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director before. Last night, he finally filled this gap with his film.
When Zhang Yimou received the award, he said: I never expected that after so many years of filming, I was nominated for the Golden Horse Award for the first time. Thank you to the judges for giving me this award.In fact, I have seen several directors this year who are very strong, which just represent the inheritance of Chinese directors. There are young directors, and there are old directors like me who were nominated for the first time.In addition to thanking the creative team and the company, he also thanked his family for their silent support.
Gong Li, the chairman of the jury, cried
The chairman of the jury for this year's Golden Horse Awards is Gong Li, a famous actress from mainland China.When she saw her old partner win the award, the media camera caught her crying sitting in the audience.
When the actor Xu Zheng received the award, he said: When we stand here to speak, why are we sometimes nervous?Because I think this is a hall of professionalism, a hall of film, and all filmmakers gather together like a family. I believe that Chinese films will definitely get better and better.
However, the left sentence inherits Chinese movies, and the right sentence Chinese movies will definitely get better and better, which touches the sensitive nerves of some Taiwanese netizens.Netizens in mainland China may also be dissatisfied: the best documentary award was awarded to our youth. In Taiwan, the film is based on Taiwanese Sunflower Student Movement star Chen Weiting and Taiwan-loving Lu Sheng Cai Boyi.
One of the more solemn moments of last night's awards ceremony was when the award for best feature film was awarded at the end.The Elephant Sitting on the Ground is the first and last film directed by 29-year-old Hu Bo. He lived in extreme poverty during his lifetime. After the film was finished, it is said that he had disputes with the producer due to issues such as film length and editing, and finally chose to hang himself.Suicide expresses the persistence and persistence in creation.When Hu Bo's mother went on stage last night, she only thanked the judges and the audience, but she was so excited that she couldn't continue, and she left crying.
