According to reports, the mainland opening ceremony of the 9th Cross-Strait Film Exhibition has been held first. On April 13, seven Taiwanese films were screened in Beijing and Baoding, namely "My Egg Male Lover"(mainland name: "Love Frozen"),"Goodbye Daughter","Soul Clock","As Long as I Grow Up","Little Dance in North Lin","Debussy Forest" and documentary "Musician Zhou Lanping".

The main creative lineup of beautiful talented women attracted

the attention of the stars attending the film exhibition on June 1. The main creative lineup was strong, including the mainland film emperor, Tao Zeru, the star of "Hundred Birds Facing Phoenix," Zhang Chao, the male idol, Xia Gang, the fifth generation senior director of the mainland, and well-known directors Xu Haofeng, Yang Shupeng, Wang Xuebo, etc. What is more worth mentioning is that in this lineup, the beautiful women and talented women in the film industry on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are quite eye-catching.

Yao Tingting, director of "Whose Youth Is Not Confused," has a bright appearance and a star atmosphere; Huang Shi, screenwriter of "No Problem," won the Golden Horse Award for Best Screenwriter last year at a young age; and Lin Zixi, the heroine who represented Taiwan films at the Beijing Cross-Strait Film Exhibition to promote "Goodbye Daughter," attended the event in full dress, adding star color to the film exhibition.

In addition, Zhang Mo, the daughter of well-known mainland director Zhang Yimou, also attended the film festival as a director this time and attracted much attention. She brought her debut work "28-year-old Underage". In her speech, she said that she personally positioned this youth drama about the growth of women as a fantasy realistic drama and hoped that Taiwanese audiences would like it.

"Mainland films are so good."

Zhu Yanping, a well-known Taiwanese director, serves as chairman of the Taiwan Film Industry Development Foundation and has also been promoting the holding of cross-Strait film exhibitions. He said that he was very happy to see that the Cross-Strait Film Exhibition was getting better year by year. Recalling the first exhibition held in 2009, he said that for the first film festival, they sent tickets to people, but no one came, and it was very hard to organize.

Referring to the changes in mainland and Taiwanese audiences 'acceptance of each other's films, Zhu Yanping said that perhaps there were initial misunderstandings about each other's films. Mainland audiences believe that Taiwanese films can win awards but are not good. In recent years, the Cross-Strait Film Festival and the "Beijing College Student Film Festival" have worked together to introduce Taiwanese film works to younger student groups and obtain better responses.

For a long time, Taiwanese audiences also believed that mainland films were the main theme. Until "Beijing meets Seattle" was screened in Taiwan, Taiwanese audiences exclaimed that "mainland films are so beautiful." Their attitude began to change and accept them, completely changing stereotypes. As a result, several cross-Strait film exhibitions since then, including "Wolf Totem","Lao Pao 'er" and this year's opening film "The Problem That Is Not a Problem", were screened in Taiwan, and all of them were sold out in seconds.

Zhu Yanping said that cross-Strait film exhibitions will continue to be held so that mainland people can understand Taiwan's life and people's sentiments through Taiwanese films, and Taiwanese audiences can also know more about the mainland through mainland films, thereby helping people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to enhance their films and culture. Exchange and understanding.
