Who is the number one director in China? This answer is different in the hearts of movie fans, but if you say who is the most accomplished director in China, then I think it should be Li Ang. Films made by Chinese people have always had a big drawback, that is, they cannot go abroad. In recent years, with the rise of the mainland market, most directors have developed in the mainland with peace of mind, but this practice has contributed to the long-term development of Chinese movies. It is disadvantageous. In the long run, Chinese movies can only leave a "rest on its own".
is the veteran director of the 8th and 90s who maintained a very strong momentum. The films such as "The Great Wall" and "Shadow" filmed by Zhang Yimou in the past two years are all facing the world, but Lao Mouzi's films are The influence in the world is not great, and there is still a big gap between Ang Lee and Lee.
Looking through Li Ang’s profile, you will find that he has not made many films in his life, only 14 films, but his global achievements are the highest among Chinese directors, especially "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in 2000. This film made Ang Lee's name resound in Hollywood, and he also won the title of Hollywood's No. 1 Chinese Director by virtue of the film.
To this day, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has scored as high as 8 points or more on many rating websites at home and abroad. The battle of Ang Lee completely sensationalized Hollywood. The film also won four Oscar awards in 2001, including Including the extremely heavy award for Best Foreign Language Film, the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is not only reflected in the awards, but the box office produced by the film that year was also very impressive.
The production cost of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is 15 million US dollars. This money can only be regarded as a small-cost production in Hollywood, but it was a huge sum of money in China that year, enough to produce a large-scale epic. It’s a war movie, and it’s something that all directors couldn’t even think of to make "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Fortunately, the film eventually cost 213 million US dollars and became the most profitable Chinese movie of the year.
Although the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is inseparable from Li Ang's credit, it is also inseparable from the contribution of the film's overall team and actors. Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi and others also contributed a lot to this film. Zhang Ziyi did As a newcomer, being able to participate in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is the harvest of her life, and the film also allowed her to successfully break into Hollywood.
In fact, Zhang Ziyi’s contribution to the film’s success is also very large. Many foreigners are attracted by her "Oriental beauty" before buying tickets. As a newcomer, Zhang Ziyi can shine on the international stage. She The box office was really strong. Although her development in Hollywood did not go smoothly, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is enough to make her international resume more perfect.
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made Ang Lee become famous in the first battle. After that, he also directed "Hulk", "Fantasy Drifting of the Boy Pie" and other highly-known films. These films further established him in the whole world. World influence and popularity. On October 11 this year, "Gemini Killer" directed by Ang Lee and starring Will Smith will meet with fans. I believe that with the strength and reputation of these two people, this will be another box office and word of mouth. A good film for double harvest. What is your opinion on this?
