The film received cheers and applause after its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival a few days ago. Hollywood media man Alex Billington called "the Dog Battle of the Tiger" is one of the best films at the Cannes Film Festival. Chinese films once again shine on the international stage.

Director Guan Hu, chief producer Liang Jing, leading actor Peng Yuyan and important actor Dog Xiaoxin took the stage to receive the award in the "one kind of attention" unit, sharing the glorious moments belonging to "Dog Array" and Chinese films. What is touching is that Director Guan Hu not only thanked the judges and the staff in front and behind the scenes of the film, but also commemorated his father on the podium and "shared the glory of tonight" with everyone who gave his strength. The director said, "our film is about a story of 'getting back on the road'. I hope everything tonight turns into a force that can help us hit the road again, always on the road, always on the road."

And this film full of strength and vitality also filled the expectations of the audience.

At the same time, Xiao Xin, the dog actor in the film, also won the Dog Golden Palme jury Award at this year's Cannes Film Festival for her surprise performance. The Dog Palme d'Or jury Award is a special award at the Cannes Film Festival in recognition of dog actors who have performed prominently in the film. At the award scene, Xiao Xin put on his own award collar, which was very cool. Toby Ross, founder of the award, said that "the Dog Battle" is of great significance, and Director Guan Hu devoted himself to the creation with the most authentic attitude. Peng Yuyan received the award with Xiao Xin and shared this honorary moment. Interestingly, Peng Yuyan also delivered an award acceptance speech for Xiao Xin, "Thank you for recognizing our performance, hope to make more movies, bring happiness to more people, and look forward to the next time we walk the red carpet in Cannes." When taking a group photo, Xiao Xin took the initiative to post with Peng Yuyan, which drew a burst of cheers at the scene. Peng Yuyan also expressed his gratitude and unconditional love for Xiao Xin. "Thank you Xiao Xin for letting me share the stage with him. I adopted Xiao Xin after filming. Because I can't imagine being apart from it." The interaction between one person and one dog is very warm, and we look forward to the wonderful cooperation they will bring in the "Dog Array".

The film "Dog Battle" tells the story of Jiro (Peng Yuyan), who just got out of prison, returned to his hometown in a small town in northwest China more than a decade ago. In the face of prejudice and guard, Jiro doesn't know how to start a new life. Forced to make a living to join the dog fighting team, he saved a black stray dog, and he also gained the courage to hit the road again in his relationship with the black dog. One person and one dog embrace each other's new life in the process of mutual redemption.

In the film, Peng Yuyan is accompanied by stray dogs, one person and one dog, communicating in a way that transcends language, and many audiences are moved by the dog's performance, saying bluntly that "the dog deserves a Palme d'Or." In Guan Hu's film, there is no lack of blending and confrontation between human nature and animal nature. this time, the shooting of the dog also surprised the audience. some viewers said, "Guan Hu has particularly discovered the cold, loyalty, loneliness and fatalism of dogs." As for the moving redemption emotion between people and dogs in the film, the audience commented, "one person, one dog, two stray souls find each other, and the warmth and cruelty are just right." As for the film's inspiring theme of "get back on the road", some critics commented, "this is a letter dedicated to brave people in the post-era environment when Guan Hu returns to the animal world." The film is scheduled for release on June 15, and I look forward to seeing this story full of vitality and courage on the big screen.
