《白日焰火》奪得柏林電影節(jié)金熊獎

The Chinese film 'Black Coal, Thin Ice' won best picture at the Berlin International Film Festival over the weekend, the latest win for China as it seeks global prominence in film.

Director Diao Yinan, who accepted the award for the film on Saturday, spent nearly a decade writing the screenplay. 'Black Coal, Thin Ice' (Bairi Yanhuo , or 'Daytime Fireworks,' in Mandarin) is a detective mystery, set in cold northern China during the late 1990s, that unfolds through flashbacks, telling the story of a detective investigating a trail of murders in a factory town.

Berlin's film festival jury also gave Liao Fan, who plays the detective in 'Black Coal, Thin Ice,' with the award for best actor.

The recognition comes as China's film studios and directors vie for a stronger position on the global stage -- and they appear to be gaining ground. Jia Zhangke, one of China's most provocative directors, won the award for best screenplay at the Cannes International Film Festival last May with his film 'A Touch of Sin.'

Berlin has previously acknowledged other Chinese directors, such as Wang Quan'an, who was awarded best screenplay at the 2010 festival for 'Tuan Yuan' ('Apart Together').

'It's very hard to believe this dream has come true,' Mr. Diao said when accepting his award.

Mr. Diao, a graduate of China's Central Academy of Drama, is also known for his two other films, 'Uniform' and 'Night Train.'

中國電影《白日焰火》(Black Coal, Thin Ice)在柏林國際電影節(jié)(Berlin International Film Festival)獲頒最佳影片獎，這是中國電影在尋求在國際建立聲名過程中最新一項斬獲。

導(dǎo)演刁亦男上周六領(lǐng)取了這一獎項。他花了差不多10年的時間寫劇本?！栋兹昭婊稹肥且徊總商綉乙善?，故事發(fā)生在九十年代末的東北，以閃回的手法逐漸揭示情節(jié)，講述一名偵探調(diào)查一個工廠小鎮(zhèn)上發(fā)生的一起謀殺案。

柏林電影節(jié)的評審們還把最佳男演員獎頒給了在《白日焰火》中扮演偵探的廖凡。

眼下，中國電影制作室內(nèi)和電影導(dǎo)演都在希望在國際舞臺上獲得更大的一席之地，而且他們的地盤似乎正在擴大。去年5月份，中國最具挑 性的導(dǎo)演之一賈樟柯就憑借電影《天注定》(A Touch of Sin)在戛納國際電影節(jié)(Cannes International Film Festival)獲得了最佳劇本獎。

以前就曾有中國導(dǎo)演在柏林獲獎，比如2010年王全安就憑借《團圓》(Apart Together)獲頒最佳劇本獎。

刁亦男在發(fā)表獲獎感言時說，難以置信，看來這個夢是一直醒不了。

刁亦男畢業(yè)于中央戲劇學(xué)院，他的另外兩部電影《制服》(Uniform)和《夜車》(Night Train)也很有名。
