My Film City: One Day Countdown to Beijing International Film Festival!
Aaron Kwok, artist in Hong Kong, China. Since his official debut in 1990, he has made remarkable achievements in the fields of film, video and music, so he is also known as one of the "Four Heavenly Kings". In the 1990s, he starred in many classic masterpieces such as Future Cops, Anna Magdalena and The Storm Riders. With his ever-changing images on the screen, he has made unique contribution to the golden era of Hong Kong films. After 2000, he shifted his focus back to the film and television industry again with repeated success. He won many awards at some important film awards with his films such as Divergence and After This Our Exile. Today, Aaron Kwok, despite his great reputation, is still active in the frontline of artistic creation to constantly present wonderful performances to the audience. This year, he will serve as the promotion ambassador of BJIFF and the image ambassador of Hong Kong International Film Festival, and participate in the film feast with all the fans.
Aaron Kwok tells us his stories related to films within one minute.
In 1990, a glass of water started the stage life of a boy. In the next thirty years, Aaron Kwok grew up into a brilliant star as "somebody unknown" with different faces. "Persistence" and "appreciation" are the key words of his attitude toward the career, so that he can witness the growth and transformation of Chinese films in the past years.
He regards film as his way to understand life, so that he can touch love and sorrow in the common life.
As far as you are concerned, does film also coincide with some joys and sorrows in the life?
The 12th BJIFF will specially invite five filmmakers to tell their stories related to films within one minute. Usually, the whole life may be moved within only one minute or by only one camera. However, it was just a normal at the time.
The interview will be hosted by Siu-keung Cheng, the winner of Hong Kong Film Award for Best Cinematography this year. This is one minute for Aaron Kwok and the last day of countdown to the grand opening of the BJIFF.
Let's gather up at the 12th BJIFF to celebrate what we love.
