The 38th Hundred Flowers Awards ceremony is held in Beijing on August 10, 2026. Photo: VCGWhen the 38th Hundred Flowers Awards, one of China's three major film awards, concluded in Beijing on Tuesday, AI emerged as one of the event's new participants, alongside the stars on the red carpet and filmmakers receiving honors.
For the first time in the 64-year history of the awards, this year's edition introduced an AI-generated content (AIGC) recommendation unit, giving AI-generated films a new pathway into a major film award platform.
The move reflects a broader shift in the relationship between technology and cinema.
Rather than replacing filmmakers, AI is increasingly seen as a creative tool that lowers production barriers, expands visual possibilities and allows more people to turn ideas into films, Zhang Peng, an associate professor at Nanjing Normal University, told the Global Times.
The AIGC recommendation unit, launched on June 30, attracted 2,038 entries from around the world in just over a month. After evaluation, six productions received the "Hundred Flowers AIGC Recommendation Honor," covering categories including animation, visual effects, technology, creativity, directing and short films.
For many young filmmakers, AI has opened a new path into the industry. Multiple award-winning creators said at a seminar on the sidelines of the Hundred Flowers Awards that AI tools such as Jimeng and the Seedance model helped them with visual development, shot design, dubbing and maintaining emotional continuity.
Zhang Bohang, a representative of the team behind Yi Meng (A Dream), which won the award for Best Animated Work, said at the seminar that animation had long been a dream for the team, but high production costs had previously made it difficult to bring that dream to life. "The emergence of AI has given us a way to make our dreams come true," he said.
Lu Qiwei, a representative of the creative team behind Yecha Crossing the River, which won the Best Creative Work award, said at the seminar that Seedance allows creators to input characters, scenes, visual styles and directorial ideas, then select and organize the generated material themselves.
However, filmmakers at the event also emphasized that AI does not replace human creativity. Director Liu Shuheng, whose work Out of Control received recognition, said AI had lowered the threshold for creating visual images while raising the expectations for creators' decisions.
"AI makes it easier to create a picture, but it also makes people think more about why they choose to shoot it this way," Liu said at the seminar.
The shift is not limited to AI-powered filmmaking. The awards are also expanding recognition for emerging forms of storytelling.
The 38th Hundred Flowers Awards also introduced a new short-drama recognition section, marking the first time the awards had recognized short dramas. It marked the first time the awards had included short dramas in their recognition system, organizers said.
AI also featured prominently in the event's audience experience. Global Times reporters observed interactive installations that allowed audiences and celebrities to generate personalized digital keepsake photos, while AI was also used during the red-carpet livestream to provide real-time commentary, answer viewer questions and enhance visual backgrounds.
The Hundred Flowers Awards' embrace of AIGC comes as major Chinese film festivals increasingly explore AI's role in cinema.
Since its launch in 2024, the Beijing International Film Festival's AIGC Film Section has been the first dedicated section at a major film festival worldwide to focus on AI-powered image-making. Meanwhile, the Shanghai International Film Festival this year has launched a new "AI Studio" section, aiming to create the first experimental platform dedicated to exploring AI-assisted collaboration in film production.
From competition entries to audience experiences, these developments suggest that AI is no longer just a behind-the-scenes production tool, said Zhang.
"AI is gradually moving beyond being a filmmaking tool and becoming part of the broader film festival ecosystem," Zhang noted.
"From AI-generated films to short dramas, the move also shows how China's mainstream film platforms are embracing emerging formats and recognizing new forms of storytelling."
。 8月26日讯曼联官方宣布，签下布莱顿中场巴莱巴，根据相关报道，转会费的总价达到约7000万英镑。英媒《每日电讯报》发文分析巴莱巴。电讯报表示，曼联20年来一直希望解决中场问题，最终将目光投向了巴莱巴。曼联迫切希望这位喀麦隆国脚能够最终填补布莱恩·罗布森、保罗·因斯以及罗伊·基恩后的中场空缺。曼联对卡洛斯·巴莱巴漫长的追求，中间也经历了球员身价的下跌，同时也表明了拉特克利夫爵士时代的策略——至少绝不签下那些他们认为高溢价的球员。去年夏天，布莱顿老板布鲁姆对巴莱巴的估价甚至高于凯塞多，后者在2023年以创当时纪录的1.15亿英镑身价加盟切尔西。今年1月，随着巴莱巴的状态被普遍认为较2024-25赛季有所下滑，布鲁姆依然将其定性为一名身价1亿英镑的球员。到了今年夏天，这一数字已降至7000万英镑——更确切地说是6500万英镑加上500万英镑的浮动条款，这种方式压低了名义上的转会费，对两家俱乐部都有利。无论如何，对于一名2023年仅以约2600万英镑从里尔引进的球员来说，这笔交易都是布鲁姆的又一次胜利。据了解，这家法甲俱乐部保留了二次转会分成条款。在埃利奥特·安德森的争夺战中，曼联输给了曼城，他们也不打算匹配热刺为托纳利支付的1亿英镑、或是马特乌斯·费尔南德斯的8500万英镑。甚至连7500万英镑的吉马良斯也超出了他们心理预期。相反，曼联将资金分散到了下一个档次的的三名球员身上安德雷·桑托斯、蒂莱曼斯和巴莱巴。曼联从去年夏天前场重组中汲取了信心——当时他们以约2亿英镑的总价引进了姆伯莫、舍什科和库尼亚——并将这种理念应用到了中场。虽然相比曼城显得相当保守，但这确实是实打实的一步提升。他们的同城对手在这个转会窗结束时，看起来将同时签下安德森、布阿迪甚至恩佐——两名转会费过亿的中场以及一名身价8600万英镑的年轻人（布阿迪）。当然，曼城也通过一些大手笔的出售获得了收入，而且未来还会有更多——这正是曼联至今仍感到棘手的问题。即便如此，英超联赛对曼城的诉讼案已持续近四年仍未结案，这让人不禁觉得有些匪夷所思。巴莱巴是一名6号位球员，在其处于最佳状态时，有能力覆盖曼联防线中暴露出的关键区域——尤其是在鲁本·阿莫林时期的战术体系之下。他习惯使用左脚，具备在防守和进攻区域赢得球权的能力。

B | 他是一名优秀的传球手，尽管算不上得分手。他能够在面对压迫时接球并妥善理球。作为一家曾经围绕布莱恩·罗布森、保罗·因斯、罗伊·基恩等一众中场巨星建立起来的俱乐部，曼联在 21 世纪签下同等质量球员的纪录与其辉煌的历史相去甚远。

C | 迈克尔·卡里克，算是其中表现较好的一位——但即便连他，也称不上是无可挑剔的成功。在卡里克加盟后的七年里，弗格森爵士只进行了三笔重磅中场引援：欧文·哈格里夫斯、巴西人安德森以及五年后的香川真司。后者从来都不是传统意义上的中路中场。哈格里夫斯加盟时，正值弗格森基本垄断顶级英格兰本土球员转会市场的时期；在伤病终结其顶级职业生涯之前，哈格里夫斯是球队夺得2007-08赛季辉煌的重要功臣。自那以后，曼联相对于转会投入的中场引援纪录一直令人堪忧。甚至有观点认为，在所有弗格森时代之后的引援中，费莱尼是最奏效的一个。他在队内效力了长达六年。埃雷拉未能带来颠覆性的改变，施魏因施泰格与施奈德林没能打出来，随后是8900万英镑签下的保罗·博格巴——这笔交易完全没能像预期那样改变曼联。马蒂奇贡献了五年稳健的发挥，但无论从什么标准来看，那都算不上是一个黄金时代。范德贝克则成为了曼联挥霍无度的典型缩影。俱乐部在卡塞米罗身上花费了巨额的转会费和工资，他直到上赛季结束离队前始终保持着主力首发的位置。

D | 然而，曼联并没有得到他的巅峰期，埃里克森也是同理。引进巴莱巴和桑托斯这类球员的目标，在于曼联至少能够从今夏的这些签约中收获球员的巅峰期。芒特和乌加特目前为止尚未取得成功。

E | 在过去20年里，曼联的领袖角色往往由进攻球员担任，如鲁尼和B费，上一位担任曼联队长的传统意义上的纯中场是卡里克，他在2017-18最后一个赛季接替离队的鲁尼戴上了队长袖标。而上一位长期担任队长的纯中场则是罗伊·基恩，他在20多年前离开了曼联。巴莱巴或许无法达到那种历史高度，但当他审视许多后来者时，会发现这块门槛其实并没有那么高。
