金雞百花無懸念落幕

第十九屆金雞百花電影節周六在長江邊的江蘇小城江陰落下帷幕。 The 19th China Golden Rooster and Full Blossom Festival ended Saturday in Jiangyin, a small city on the banks of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province.

中新社報道，為期5天的第十九屆金雞百花電影節周六在長江邊的江蘇小城江陰落下帷幕，盡管江陰投入了極大的熱情和財力物力，但仍舊難挽電影節頹勢，周迅、范冰冰、黃曉明等提名獎獲得者紛紛缺席，從昨晚的評選結果看，發展至今的百花獎，已成為一場“從開始就能窺到結局”的小把戲。

電影《建國大業》獲得最佳影片，趙薇和陳坤無懸念成為百花獎“帝后”, 馮小剛憑2008年的浪漫喜劇《非誠勿擾》獲最佳導演，蘇有朋憑借《風聲》如愿成為最佳男配角，許晴、王嘉并列獲得最佳女配角，徐箭憑借《驚天動地》獲得最佳新人獎。

由于承辦地具有很大的流動性，金雞百花電影節也迅速成為國內某些城市推廣城市形象的新手段。為了舉辦這屆電影節，江陰投入達5000萬，值得一提的是，江陰市政府沒有投入毫厘，所有資金幾乎都來自近百家贊助商。江陰還新建了國際會展中心作為頒獎禮的主場館，并建立了一家大型影城，還將原先的兩家三星級酒店的標準升級為五星，主干道也進行了再規劃。同時，江陰也將自己的城市廣告打進各大媒體頭版。

No surprise at film festival

The 19th China Golden Rooster and Full Blossom Festival ended Saturday in Jiangyin, a small city on the banks of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu Province, China News Service reports. Despite the city's large investments in the film festival, it is becoming less popular. Several nominees, such as Zhou Xun, Huang Xiaoming and Fan Bingbing, did not attend the five-day festival, apparently knowing they would not win any awards.

The Founding of the Republic won Best Feature Film. Favorites Chen Kun and Vicki Zhao picked up Best Leading Actor and Actress awards. Feng Xiaogang won Best Director for his 2008 romantic comedy If You Are the One. Alec Su won Best Supporting Actor for the spy film The Message, while Xu Qing and Wang Jia were named Best Supporting Actresses. The Best New Artist award was given to Xu Jian for her outstanding performance in Jing Tian Dong Di.

Held in a different city each year, the film festival has become a new method for many cities to promote their image. To host the festival this year, Jiangyin made headlines by raising 50 million yuan from hundreds of sponsors to build a large theatre and an international exhibition center for the main venues. Two three-star hotels were upgraded to five stars, and the main roads were revamped. Not a single yuan came from the city government.
