Behind the Scenes of Shanghai International Film Festival (Part 2) Mobile | Reporter | Shanghai International Film Festival

Many people are curious, do journalists have an innate advantage in watching movies at film festivals? Unfortunately, journalists not only had to grab tickets, but also had to work until 4am due to their busy schedules, and reluctantly gave up desperately pressing their phones to get the tickets. Therefore, ticket inspectors often work in teams to jointly plan topics and share anxieties. Everyone generates power for love and fully invests in the pursuit of stars. Why do you spell it that way? Because at the annual Shanghai International Film Festival, we are so close to the top of the cultural and entertainment industry pyramid - movies. We not only see big stars, but also the tears and smiles of the true leaders, producers, and directors of the film industry. The experience of journalists grabbing tickets is in the exhibition unit. If they want to watch their favorite films, they also need to prepare strategies and grab tickets in advance. Moreover, considering the heavy reporting tasks during the film festival, priority should be given to work

On June 20th, at the "Magnolia Dialogue" forum at the Shanghai TV Festival, NHK program production company director producer Ryuta Kotani displayed the portrait of "Zhuge Liang" on a PPT, which made the audience and guests understand and laugh. However, despite the popularity of Chinese historical stories in Japan and the experience of working with the Chinese team, there was still a "mistake" on his PPT that caught the attention of domestic peers - "4000 years of history." At the "Empirical China: Songze Liangzhu Civilization Archaeology Exhibition" currently held at the Shanghai Museum, every trace of China's 5000 year history of civilization can be clearly seen.

In Chinese culture, "Jiangnan" is a proprietary term that creates a collective homesickness among people in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Here, the natural landscape is diverse, and the cultural background is rich, with atmosphere, inclusiveness, openness, and pragmatism as its foundation. Today, how should we understand and narrate Jiangnan? On the afternoon of June 20th, the launch ceremony of the large-scale documentary "Jiangnan" and the global collection of Jiangnan images was held at the Tianhou Palace Square in Suhewan, Shanghai. The nearby Tianhou Palace ancient stage and the winding Suzhou River are also to some extent witnesses of Jiangnan culture. Why is it "Da Jiangnan"? The large-scale historical and cultural documentary "Da Jiangnan" was produced under the guidance of the Propaganda Department of the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, with support from the External Propaganda Office of the Shanghai Municipal Committee, and produced by Shanghai Radio and Television Station. The documentary consists of 9 episodes, each lasting 50 minutes, focusing on the land and hot land of Jiangnan

At the beginning of this century, a literary competition led to the emergence of a group of young authors and their rapid rise to fame. After overnight fame and endless glory, where have those writers who make us crazy gone? Are they okay? Have you lived the expected life yet? Wang Ruoxu, born in 1984, was a firsthand witness to this literary frenzy. In his 190000 word novel "Fanaticism", he portrayed three young people whose fate was changed by a writing competition at the turn of the century. The three of them became acquainted in 2000, and in the following decade, they influenced and interacted with each other, serving as background plates for each other, thus showcasing three levels of the "post-80s literary frenzy period". Someone may ask, it is already 2022, more than 20 years past the starting point of that year. What is the significance of publishing this novel now? Wang Ruoxu said, "Fanaticism

It was later used as the office of the Shanghai Instrument Bureau and is now the site of the Liberation Daily.

At the 25th International Film Festival, there was a very eye-catching performance of love and marriage between middle-aged and elderly people in "I Love You". 63 year old Hui Yinghong and 60 year old Ye Tong played the female lead, together with Ni Dahong and Liang Jiahui, portraying the love pursuit and perseverance of middle-aged and elderly people in the entanglement of aging and disease. I am delighted to see middle-aged and elderly actresses as the main characters on the big screen. This phenomenon has been rare in recent years. Last year, the collaboration between Wu Yanshu and Xi Meijuan in "Mom!" also featured strong female lead roles, adding attention to the middle-aged and elderly population to the current Chinese screen. Especially for Wu Yanshu, an elderly woman born in 1938, her performances are meticulous and profound, whether she plays the rural grandmother who has been with her husband for a lifetime in "Love and Family" or the Chinese foster mother who went to Japan to find her adopted daughter in "See Nara Again"

I submitted an interview outline for 50 lines and was deleted to 5 lines. During the 30 minute interview, I engaged in a battle of wits and courage with celebrities. However, I encountered a frown from my agent and was interrupted by propaganda personnel. Similar to anxiety, I was relieved at the Shanghai International Film Festival. The production team came one after another, and stars were everywhere. Stars were even chasing their idols, bowing for photos, no different from small fans.
