After chatting for a while, I officially entered a large theater to watch the opening ceremony of the "Shanghai International Film Festival" tonight!Of course, before the movie is played, the host will tell the history of "Shanghai International Film Festival" on stage. James Cameron, the chairman of this jury, also came on stage to make a speech, which was nothing more than those polite words, which were very appropriate!
However, after all, James Cameron's reputation is everywhere. Even his official speeches have attracted applause from the audience!
For "Shanghai International Film Festival", this film festival can actually invite a director like James Cameron, who is internationally renowned and truly internationally influential, and with the arrival of Hollywood superstars, he has definitely done a lot in the face project!
Moreover, as far as participating in this "Shanghai International Film Festival" is concerned, it is definitely the best in history, with thousands of movies registered alone!There are dozens of movies from Japan and South Korea!There are even a dozen Indian movies!Of course, there are also many films from European countries that have also signed up to participate in this film festival!
This is the symbol of the influence of Chinese films becoming increasingly out of the international world!
There is no doubt that the front page headlines of entertainment in the past week will revolve around the Shanghai International Film Festival!
There are many unprecedented grand festivals, and many Hollywood superstars have appeared in the invited celebrity guests, which fully demonstrates that Chinese films are becoming more and more in line with international Ah!
There will definitely be many media spontaneous reports on such news tomorrow, which will naturally be of great benefit to the recent promotion of the Shanghai International Film Festival!
Chen Hao doesn’t care much about these so-called face-saving projects. If Chinese movies want to fully develop, even surpass Hollywood, it is not enough even before he is reborn!
Before his rebirth, Chinese films only had a box office market rise, and there was actually a big gap between the various techniques of filming and Hollywood!
After all, Hollywood movies have been developing commercial films for a century, and they cannot be completely caught up in just one or two decades!Of course, first of all, the box office market can catch up, which is already a very amazing advantage!
With the box office market, other shortcomings can be slowly compensated!
Soon, the opening ceremony video began to be played!
This time, although many foreign guests were invited, the organizers did not choose to take care of international friends and play a foreign film for the opening ceremony!Instead, I chose to play a film "Labor Love" that is very meaningful to Chinese film history!
For foreign friends, this film undoubtedly looks a bit old and dull. Although it has English subtitles on it, it is still drowsy!
But "Labor Love", as an old movie in the early stages of Chinese films, is definitely not an empty and meaningless film!This film is the earliest existing film in China.If you want to know the style of the earliest Chinese films, then this movie must not be missed.
"Labor Love", also known as "The Fruit Rose", this 22-minute black and white silent film was released in 1922. The film was filmed by Star Video Co., Ltd.The Star Film Company is the earliest film company in China and was co-founded by Zhang Shichuan, Zheng Zhengqiu and others.This film is one of the four short films of the celebrity film company's entrepreneurial work in 1922. The other three are "The Funny King's Visit to Shanghai", "The Story of the Monster Theater" and "Zhang Xinsheng". Except for "Zhang Xinsheng", the other three short films are all funny films.
This film is directed by Zhang Shichuan, written by Zheng Zhengqiu, and starring Zheng Queqiao, Zheng Zhengqiu and Yu Ying.The plot of this movie is not complicated and mainly tells the story of the young businessman Zheng Carpenter pursuing the doctor's daughter.The plot of this film takes place in an alley in Shanghai. Carpenter Zheng, who switches to sell fruits for a living, falls in love with Miss Zhu, the daughter of Dr. Zhu, in the clinic opposite. So he often gives some fruit to Miss Zhu to show his love.
One day, Carpenter Zheng mustered up the courage to take fruit to Dr. Zhu to propose marriage, but unexpectedly he was rejected by Dr. Zhu. Dr. Zhu said to him: It is not okay to exchange fruit for his wife.You can make my business prosperous, and I will marry my daughter to you.The disappointed Carpenter Zheng finished work early and went home to sleep, but was awakened by the noise of the guests in the club upstairs.
Carpenter Zheng, who couldn't sleep, remembered the rejection of his proposal for marriage. Suddenly he had an idea. He used his skilled carpenter skills to convert the stairs of the club upstairs into a movable staircase that could be controlled by him.Then he quietly hid in the corner of the first floor. Whenever he heard someone going downstairs in the club, Carpenter Zheng controlled the moving stairs, causing the guest who was going downstairs to slip and fall and injured.
In this way, the guests who came out of the second floor club went to Dr. Zhu's clinic because they fell from the stairs. Dr. Zhu's clinic was immediately overcrowded.After Dr. Zhu and his daughter finished their work, Carpenter Zheng once again suggested to Dr. Zhu that she wanted to marry Miss Zhu. Dr. Zhu happily agreed to the marriage between his daughter and Carpenter Zheng.
The lovers finally got married, and the video ended here.When you see this, you will find that in the film, Carpenter Zheng, is a little useless to marry Ms. Zhu. Although the noise of the guests on the second floor of the club disturbed Carpenter Zheng's rest, most of the guests who fell and injured were gamblers who lingered in the club.
Compared with the plot, another highlight of this film is that through this film, we can see the life faces of some of the people at the bottom in the early 1920s, from people's clothing to residences to entertainment venues. These films alone can be regarded as a very precious image, not to mention that this film is a complete short story.
The character creation of this film is relatively successful. The witty Carpenter Zheng, the smart doctor of the world, and the Jasper of the Little Family.Other characters in the film, several rogue gangsters, tea shop owners, and gamblers who eat, drink and have fun in the club, are all portrayals of small people in the market in that era.There is another performance in this film that is shocking. So many male and female actors who play club guests suddenly fell and slid down from a wooden staircase about two meters high in batches. It hurts a lot when you look at it, and people can't help but admire the actors from that year.
This film is humorous and interesting, similar to today's entertainment film.It can be seen that the acting style of the actors in this film was influenced by Chaplin's comedy, and the plot of the stairs turning into slides draws on Buster Keaton's 1921 "Haunted House", which also shows that the director of this film admired and learned the popular American comedy films at that time, and thus evolved into his own local Shanghai comedy film. This is also the earliest exploration of Chinese films.
The movie is progressing, and the times are progressing. Perhaps watching this movie now feels outdated, but this movie is also a microcosm of the development of early movies!With the changes and continuous transformation, the development of Chinese films has ushered in the 21st century. Chinese films in the 21st century will surely reach a new peak!
