Yin Li, chairman of the jury of final appeal, said that in the past year, young directors made their mark, excellent works on realistic themes emerged constantly, and competition for various honors was fierce, and "professional position and director’s vision" was the criteria for the selection of the nine jury of final appeal.

 

Jia Zhangke won the most weighty "Director of the Year" award that night with "Children of Jianghu". In his acceptance speech, he said: "It’s the first time that I’ve been filming for 20 years and won the honor at home. "Jianghu Children" was very emotional when it was filmed. The people who make movies are actually children of the rivers and lakes, who are at home all over the world and have no fixed place to live. The movies are full of feelings and righteousness in the rivers and lakes. " He did not forget to invite Liao Fan and Zhao Tao, the two main stars of the film, to share the joy on stage. "Without them, there would be no such honor."

 

The actress of the year honor was won by Ma Yili, the star of Finding You. Ma Yili’s performance of breaking through the image and sacrificing himself in the play was unanimously recognized by the judges. On the stage, she recalled the tortuous course of Finding You from the script to the final formation. "At that time, there were not many directors willing to direct this play. Thank you for joining us as’ women’. I would also like to thank Yao Chen. No matter who wins, it is the common honor of both of us. Without her, there would be no me. " In addition, Ma Yili also talked about the importance of the director’s encouragement to the actors: "Every encouragement is very important to us, and every actor deserves to be hugged."

 

Eric Wang beat Xú Zhēng, Liao Fan and other powerful actors to win the actor of the year award, which surprised many people. He also repeatedly said that he didn’t expect to reap such a heavy honor. "Thank you, director, for giving me food. I will enjoy this meal, chew it slowly and digest it well." In the backstage group interview, he said with tears in his eyes that the person he most wanted to thank at this time was his late mother. "My mother had a long struggle with illness, and this experience also enabled me to quickly enter the character state in the play."

 

In addition to the actor of the year, Dying to Survive also won the film of the year and the young director of the year, which was the biggest winner that night. Muye Wen, a graduate student majoring in directing at Beijing Film Academy, invited her two mentors, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Wang Hongwei, to take the stage to share the honor. "Thank you very much for your guidance and help. Young directors have a chance to emerge because of the help of their predecessors, and we will help more young directors in the future. As the teacher said, I will shoot the next movie as if I had never filmed Dying to Survive. "
