Q1: Who organizes the Iron Elephant Award?

A: The Iron Elephant Award is a film award spontaneously selected by film journalists as film lovers. The initiator is several print media reporters in Shanghai. I am very happy to have received responses from film journalists from all over the country. , currently more than 80 journalists from nearly 20 cities have participated.

Q2: Why do you want to hold the Iron Elephant Award? Why is it called the Iron Elephant Award?

A: It’s a long story about this, and it’s hard for us to repeat such sensational words. If you want to know about Tie Xiang’s past and present life, please read our press release carefully: “We Who Love Movies” ! Iron Elephant Award for Film Lovers"

Q3: Is the Iron Elephant Award legally binding?

A: Regarding this, we have already explained that the Iron Elephant Award is currently equivalent to a social event for film journalists, but this does not affect the fairness of the award. We publish the entire process through a blog, and we also strive to make this event fair and open both internally and externally.

Q4: What is the difference between the Iron Elephant Award and other film awards?

A: In addition to being a spontaneous event, the biggest difference of the Iron Elephant Award is that the judges who participate in the voting are all front-line film journalists, and we strictly stipulate that only those who have participated in film reporting in the past year Only front-line journalists are eligible to vote.

Q5: Why is the selection scope of the Iron Elephant Award only limited to films that have been released?

A: The films that are limited to release are based on two considerations. One is that film journalists generally arrange to watch movies due to work needs, so in theory, all released films have been watched by reporters in theaters. This is important to everyone. All films are fair. On the other hand, there are indeed many outstanding films that have no chance of being released in theaters. It is a pity to exclude them from the selection, but this can also encourage films to take the path of theater distribution while ensuring fairness.

Q6: Why does the Iron Elephant Award have fewer basic awards than the general film awards?

A: Based on the selection of the top 10 Chinese-language films of the year, the Iron Elephant Award has established "Best Film", "Best Director", "Best Screenplay", "Best Actor", "Best Actress", "Best Supporting Actor", "Best Supporting Actress", "Best Cinematography", "Best Film Score", "Best Newcomer", etc. 10 We will not consider awards, including many important awards in the film industry such as art, lighting, editing, costumes, etc., for the time being. This is based on the consideration of the current film journalists' review capabilities. Relatively speaking, film journalists have a greater say in the overall quality of my films and the performances of the actors. Other technical awards are also very important for movies. We do not select them for the time being not to be dismissive, but out of respect for these professional fields.

Q7: Why is the Iron Elephant Award not selecting "Best New Actor" and "Best New Director", but "Best New Filmmaker"?

A: Ben In the spirit of “prefer not to waste”, we tried to reduce the awards as much as possible in the early days of the founding. New actors and new directors are the new forces in the film, and this award should still be established to encourage them. It should be noted that if an experienced actor becomes a director for the first time, he can also participate in the selection of Best Newcomer, but only his directing work will be considered.

Q8: Is the most disappointing film at the Iron Elephant Awards the "Golden Raspberry Awards"?

A: While setting up many positive awards, we also set up a special "Most Disappointing Film" award aimed at promoting the progress of Chinese films. The films selected for this award are not the worst of the year, but the films with the largest gap between the year and expectations. We believe that this award is not a criticism but a promotion. We believe that the "award-winning" films and film companies can also Look at our award with a tolerant and kind attitude.

Q9: Since all film journalists are judges, why is there a jury?

A: The Iron Elephant Award Jury was established mainly to facilitate the nomination of individual awards. After all the journalist judges selected 20 outstanding films in the first round of voting, the important task of nomination for each category was handed over to the jury. The jury was responsible for proposing 5 candidates for each award, and then handed it over to each judge again. Selection. The Iron Elephant Award jury is composed of nine people. While taking care of the balance of geographical distribution, it also considers the participation of online and TV media. In principle, all journalists take turns to serve on the jury. Out of respect for industry experience, the first Iron Elephant Awards jury basically selects influential film journalists from all over the country who have served for a long time. We will make a specific list. Announced around January 10th.

Q10: When will the selection for the Iron Elephant Award end?

The nomination list for each individual award will be announced before January 15th, and the full list of winners will be announced around January 28th.

Q11: Will there be an award ceremony for the Iron Elephant Award?

A: Well, we feel that the result is greater than the form~~ (Khan), as a film journalist, our most important thing is to tell everyone about the films we think are worth recommending. As for the awards, we will do it online. The results will be announced in a certain way, and some interviews will be conducted with the winners (this is not difficult for us). However, we do not rule out that we will give you some surprises in the middle of the year.
