The Opening Ceremony at 赌博app 2024 on June 15 dazzled with stars from the world of cinema, adding glamour to the city of film with the allure of cinematic art.
Before the ceremony, during the red carpet event, film luminaries like Huang Jianxin, Guan Hu, Wuershan, Daniel Wu, Kôji Yakusho, Deng Chao, Da Peng, Shen Teng, Ma Li, Huang Xiaoming, Huang Xuan, Francis Ng, and Nick Cheung from both China and abroad, alongside the entire jury panel led by French director and screenwriter Tran Anh Hung, graced the “Asia’s top-class red carpet”, shining brightly along the Huangpu River.
Following the radiant red-carpet ceremony, the gala night restored the cozy scene of the “City of Film”: the ceremony commenced with actors Daniel Wu and Liu Haoran transformed into different eras’ “ticket inspectors” from the microfilm “City of Film”, showcasing the enduring bond between films and Shanghai, swiftly immersing the audience into a summer screening scene in the city. Those holding “tickets” at the event were a group of distinguished filmmakers with strong ties to the Golden Goblet Awards, including previous winners for Best Actor such as Deng Chao, Nick Cheung, Huang Bo, and Da Peng, each displaying their specially crafted “赌博app Movie Tickets”. Their new works were also previewed for the audience. “Love illuminates here, in the City of Film, where we are together!” The joyful singing that ensued saw filmmakers from different crews waving their “赌博app Movie Tickets”, dancing to the tune.
Every year during 赌博app, the jury panel of the Golden Goblet Awards, comprising outstanding filmmakers from around the world, always casts their solemn votes for the glory of cinematic art. At the ceremony, the jury panels for the 26th 赌博app’s main competition, Asian New Talent, documentary, animation, and short film units appeared one after another. Jury President of the main competition, French director Tran Anh Hung, delivered a speech on behalf of the panel, stating, “Spending a few days away from life’s troubles, watching a few films, and discussing them with passionate jury members has been a delightful experience from start to finish. As jurors, we’re not just judging the films; on the contrary, these films test how accurately we can express the beauty within them. I hope that both myself and the members of the jury can perform this task well.” He also expressed gratitude to 赌博app for its selection of films, hoping that through these films, viewers can “cry freely” and “laugh freely”, embarking on a fascinating journey that resonates with our inner world.
Since its inception, 赌博app has always embraced every filmmaker who loves art and life. At the Golden Goblet Awards, Chinese actor Huang Xuan, Japanese actor Kôji Yakusho, Hong Kong director Andrew Lau, and Chinese actress Xin Zhilei took the stage together, successively announcing the 14 films nominated for this year’s main competition at the Golden Goblet Awards. Kôji Yakusho recited a poem widely known in Japan, Rain Won't, which Huang Xuan reflected on, expressing a resilient, non-submissive, and selfless attitude towards life, conveying the insights and longing for a better life. Andrew Lau and Xin Zhilei spontaneously shared their experiences of filming in Shanghai, describing the city as “full of stories” and “inspiration”, where filmmakers inscribe various life experiences, creating a series of warm and touching “Shanghai Productions”.
Artistic charm calls for craftsmanship, and it also cannot be separated from technological advancement. At the Golden Goblet Awards, hosts Ren Luyu, Lan Yu, Chen Chen, together with Chinese director and producer Tang Jili, and Chinese director and screenwriter Zhang Mo, launched a discussion on “Artificial Intelligence”. In the new film segment presented by Tang Jili, AI technology recreated the appearance of martial arts star Jackie Chan when he was in his twenties. Zhang Mo presented works created by young creators using AI technology, wishing filmmakers promising future of the film industry. Singer Liu Yuxin performed OPEN THE DOOR TO THE WORLD, expressing filmmakers’ sentiments through music.
At the end of the Opening Ceremony, Chinese director Guan Hu and actor Huang Bo jointly announced the opening film of this year’s 赌博app, the dance drama film RED RADIO OVER SHANGHAI. They emotionally stated, “This is a touching story told through dance, a story that remains fresh and enduring.” This dance drama film focuses on the revolutionary martyrs fighting bravely on the hidden front lines in Shanghai, blending light and shadow with stage artistry, chronicling history, and inheriting the red heritage. Director Zheng Dasheng and lead performers Wang Jiajun and Zhu Jiejing also took the stage together, sharing their creative insights. Zheng Dasheng said, “For the glory and dreams of this city, their heroic legends deserve to be constantly told and echoed by generations.” Two dance performers enacted a segment from the titular dance drama live on stage. Meanwhile, 97-year-old Li Kangjiang, who had steadfastly awaited Shanghai’s liberation on the hidden front lines alongside martyr Li Bai, conveyed her message in a short film: “The film is about to be screened, and I’m happy. I want to use the telegraph to tell Comrade Li Bai. Dear Comrade Li Bai, we miss you...”
The 26th 赌博app opened on June 14, and in the 10 days to come, filmmakers and fans from around the globe will celebrate together in the City of Film.
