Beijing International Film Festival’s Opening and Closing Film Announced： The Battle at Lake Changjin’s ＂Lanxin Grand Theatre＂
1905 movie network news On September 10th, the opening and closing films of the 11th Beijing International Film Festival were officially announced and will be presented at the opening ceremony, closing ceremony and award ceremony respectively.
The Battle at Lake Changjin adds mature masterpieces to the main melody war films.
Joining powerful actors adds more aesthetic interest
In the past ten years, the market of China films has been booming, the industrial prospects are promising, and the audience’s tastes have been improved and changed several times. Whether it is the wonders of large-scale industrialization or the traditional realism, it has its own story space.
Beijing International Film Festival also actively responded to the call of the market. In the past, the choice of opening and closing films, such as … all followed the market. Although films of various types and themes have their ups and downs in the past ten years, the significance of the platform provided by Beijing International Film Festival has never changed, firmly demonstrating the due responsibility of a mature film festival — — Professional diversity, courage to innovate.
In 2021, the Chinese-language films recovered as a whole, and the main theme films also completed the evolution from exploration to formation. The Battle at Lake Changjin, which was released on September 30th, was the opening film at the right time. Relying on the heroic war background, it tells a magnificent history of Chinese people’s Volunteer Army’s going to the Korean battlefield and turning the war around with iron will in extremely cold and harsh environment. On the occasion of the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), The Battle at Lake Changjin paid tribute to the "loveliest person", which not only had a positive commemorative significance, but also aroused widespread resonance among Chinese people.
The high-cost investment of famous directors from big factories has also provided strong quality assurance for The Battle at Lake Changjin, which can represent the high level of Chinese war films in recent years, whether it is industrial strength or creative choice. It is worth mentioning that the 10th Ambassador of Beijing International Film Festival and the current Ambassador of Beijing International Film Festival Youth Promotion jointly participated in this film. The joining of the heavyweight filmmakers not only added aesthetic interest to the film, but also extended the historical temperature and injected fresh blood into the heroic story.
"Lanxin Grand Theatre" shows literary style with black and white images.
Work together to write spy war stories
Different from the industrial strength represented by The Battle at Lake Changjin, Lanxin Grand Theatre, as a closing film, focuses on the ups and downs of little people’s fate in the great era, and writes "great history" with "small narrative". With the joint efforts of director Lou Ye and starring Gong Li, it presents a personality and author style, which is a unique stroke for this film feast.
This style not only contains an international vision, but also embodies in the international lineup composed of,,, and so on; It also means a film style, which is manifested in the script structure of the play, the black-and-white interlaced picture style and the director’s iconic hand-held photography.
Among them, there are not only the skills that Lou Ye praised when he made his way to the world, but also the innovation that challenges new themes and styles. And Gong Li, who is good at grasping the role, and Lou Ye, who is good at exhausting the talents of actors, what kind of sparks can generate have in this film? It is also worth looking forward to by fans.
The Lanxin Grand Theatre, which combines Chinese style with international norms, also coincides with the theme of the Tiantan Award, "Harmony between Heaven and Man, Beauty and Harmony". I believe this "International China Story" with both amorous feelings and patterns will draw the best conclusion for this film festival.
Film Festival is a long-term immersion, it needs one good film after another, and it also needs the collocation of different types of good movies. The combination of opening and closing of The Battle at Lake Changjin and Lanxin Grand Theatre, an iron horse, passionate blood, the cruelty of war and the heroic sacrifice of volunteers, is moving and gives people courage. A mysterious wave of clouds, black and white interweaving, the cunning of spy war and the choice of life and death of intelligence personnel are regrettable and alarming. One bright and one dark, one firm and one soft, one strong and one light, organized a unique breathing rhythm for the 11th Beijing International Film Festival.
Choosing a high-quality and valuable film as the opening and closing film is the rule of telling a good story and conveying a good voice in the film festival. The Battle at Lake Changjin and Lan Xin Grand Theatre will be a splendid chapter in this film festival. On September 21st, let’s wait for the curtain of the 11th Beijing International Film Festival to open!
