is less than half a month away, and 2019 is about to end.
Every year-end, there will always be various year-end inventory, which is a summary of this year and a memory of the light and shadow time experienced throughout the year.
So did the Chinese-language movies in 2019 amazed you?
Like previous years, there are many phenomenal film works in 2019. However, in addition to the movies that have attracted much attention from the public, there are still many new works worthy of attention and understanding by more people.
This is also our original intention of launching the "Spiritual Appreciation of the Movie" since 2015: to discover and promote those excellent Chinese-language newcomers in the past year, as well as the works of the most encouraged and innovative young directors.
Now, the appreciation of the mysterious movie spirit has been in its fifth year. Every year, we will choose the ten best works with the most sense of responsibility and courage, the most innovative and the most enchanting movie spirit from the first or second feature films created by young directors throughout the year.
This year's fantasy spirit appreciation, nearly half a month from the initial launch to the present, after dozens of film critics and judges rigorously screening and voting, we finally selected the ten young directors of this year to recommend it to everyone.
In early January 2020, we will also choose one of these ten recommended films, as the annual recommended film of " Movie Spirit Appreciation ", awarded the director 1,895 yuan (the year of the birth of the movie), and use the year of the movie as a number, as a symbol to encourage young directors to carry out independent creation and style exploration.
The annual recommended films of previous years were awarded to Bi Gan's " Roadside Picnic ", Zhang Dalei's "August", Huang Xinyao's " Big Fo Plas ", and Huo Meng's " Pass Zhaoguan ". So which movie will it be this year?
It should be emphasized that the ten movies we chose are all aimed at young Chinese directors who have only directed two feature films, similar to the new director award in the Film Awards.
So, although some Chinese-language movies are also very outstanding, they have been famous for many years and are not among the recommended ones. They are equally excellent, there is no doubt that. In addition, the scope of film selection is more concentrated on the category of more independent or art films, because they need our support and encouragement.

More importantly, Du Jiang also uses these works to let people see his solid acting skills and deep potential. In each movie, he creates completely different characters, with great contrast in character, and also inspires different acting dimensions and presents a rich sense of performance. Whether it is the progressive emotional outbreak or the natural relaxed daily state, it leaves a deep impression on people.
