They had their own ideas and styles, and they often had many different things. Able to obtain a relatively high degree of international recognition. Among them, there are many excellent directors, such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. But there is good and bad. The society allows you to keep innovating, but it doesn't support too unreasonable and unfounded. However, there is such a maverick director that many people have not heard of now. He is Zhou Xiaowen.
was in the limelight during the first few years of his debut, and he was once known as the "commercial film pioneer". This title is enough to show how popular his works at the time were. The first film he shot was "Song of Qin", which is different from other films in that it was the first commercial film to introduce foreign capital. The funding for the filming of this film comes from Hong Kong Dayang Pictures, because of the support of foreign investment, the cast of this film is very strong. Not only the protagonist was Jiang Wen, who was at the time glamorous, but also Ge You and Xu Qing, and even the supporting roles were also well-known actors.
"Song of Qin" won a foreign film festival award after being screened abroad, but when returned to China, there was no such scene at all, and many people didn't even know the existence of this film. So it was forced to go offline just a few days after it was released, and then it went online again after a year. The specific reason also starts from the story background of this film. The movie
is based on Jing Ke, Gao Jianli, and King Qin. However, the story in the middle is very different from the original work. The serious inconsistency with the history makes many people unacceptable, which leads to this time-consuming and laborious film. This was put on hold.
netizens commented on this six-year-old film, there are fictitious and real, and some are true and false. Although the fictional part accounts for more than half of the whole story, it is indeed well-deserved as the first commercial blockbuster. If you don't delve into the historical adaptation part, this film is still worth watching.
