“Best Li, I Best You”: A song for female flexibility
The female -focused drama of “Better Me, Better You, directed by Hao Ming and Li People, is a new trend for the group that focuses on comedy so far. The movie” Stars “, which also works as a producer, depicts Bi Leving, a northeastern sponsorship that escapes home violence.
“What attracted me at the beginning was the influencing relationship between the two women in the story,” says what diverse. “Bai Liping, the nanny, Tang Shwin, the retired teacher, have completely different identities and backgrounds that do not have an intersection.”
The story follows Bay’s trip to Beijing, where Tang Shwen (playing Zhao Shozen), a single elderly woman. Their relationship from the world’s opposing views develops to deep mutual support.
“The emotional bond between Liping Bai and Tang Shuyin represents a dual -direction and support.” “Through the film, I aim to convey the message” Self -Love and be itself. “
What, who will continue to focus on realistic topics in future projects, hopes that the audience will find the courage to film the film for the unexpected human communication. “I hope those in difficult situations can attract courage from it, and they believe that they can also get beautiful feelings, and get out of the shadows to embrace hope.”
“In the depths of the mountains”: a comedy of absurd crimes with a moral heart
“In the depths of the mountains”
Beijing International Film Festival
Director Li Yongy brings his wide experience in Tahrir to his first appearance in the director “Deep in the Mountains” (entitled “Ruyi Hotel” in Mandarin), a crime stimulant with comic elements found in the early 1990s.
The film is followed by a police officer Yao Sishn, who has become intertwined in a missing truck that leads him to the remote village of Maoniahi. There, he moves on a complex network of characters including truck driver Yang Chuwiwi, his daughter, village officials and series killing, eventually revealing multiple murders committed to financial gains.
“When I read the text program for the first time, he gave me a very new feeling.” “In my opinion, it is not a traditional movie of crime, but rather a silly comedy that wears the story of the crime.”
Lee, who was the director of Zhang Yimo’s editorial in films including “Cliff Walker”, “Sniper” and “Full River River”, brings his experience in telling stories in this hybrid type.
“I hope to show the intense confrontation and intertwining between good and evil for the public through a mixture of ridiculous comedy and black humor,” explains to me. “Although the story occurs in the depths of the mountains and it seems that evil is buried deeply, what I want to express is that regardless of the extent of the chilling of the path of justice, the light of justice will penetrate the darkness in the end.”
After this guideline project, it brings me to its role in the editorial of the new movie “The Silenting of Ensects”, although he continues to read texts for future guidance projects in the future.
“Trapped”: an existential crisis in the face of a desert
“Besieged”
Beijing International Film Festival
For the first time, the director, Sajara, is “trapped”, a tension in a remote border town besieged by the armed bandits during the sandstorm.
Film stars Pay K in the role of “Night Owl” XIA, one of only three police officers with one rifle defending the city against 44 sectoral sectors led by Beishan (played by Shen Becing).
Sajara, who holds a doctorate in Dramatorgi, has previously distinguished himself as an editor in movies including “Hidden Man”, “Youth” and “Gone with the Bullets”, for the first time in this high -risk alive.
“I always wanted to ask a question through the movie: How should people face a feeling of loneliness?” Sajara explains about his objective focus. “I chose the scenario of facing the desert because in such severe difficulty, people’s fears, conflicts, desires and pain are amplified.”
The Chinese title of the film is translated into the “Great Wind massacre”, which reflects both the craftsmanship and the metaphorical chaos that sweep the characters.
“In this movie, I want to tell a nice but sad story,” says Sagara. “There is a group of missing people and not those who do not go in the story, in addition to a group of gentle warriors … I hope that the heroes in the movie are brave, and since their courage and garment depend on openness and altruism, their courage is nice.”
Sajara, who won the title of “promising annual cinema editor” at the thirteenth Chinese Film Manufacturers Forum, who won the Hanixing Editorial team with international awards for their trailers, remains open about its future direction, saying that he has no specific plans to go beyond this movie.
The three filmmakers bring distinct voices to compete, which represents the expansion of the contemporary Chinese cinema – from intimate female bonds and strange crime arousal to the existential desert confrontations – where they compete for appreciation in a cinematic festival in China.
The fifteenth International Beijing Film Festival will be held on April 18-26.
