pattern is inappropriate for comparison between Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang. From artistic pursuits to presentation methods, from the proficient use of film language to contributions to Chinese films, Zhang Yimou, the fifth-generation director of China, is a master of the generation. Compared with Feng Xiaogang, he is only an outstanding business. Movie director.
Zhang Yimou's position in the Chinese film industry has long been beyond doubt. In the early years, classic works continued, such as "Red Sorghum", "Judou", "Raise the Red Lantern", "Autumn Juju", "Living" and other works, which not only helped Zhang Yimou win the three major international film awards in Europe, but also He has been nominated for Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film many times, and Chen Kaige's pinnacle work "Farewell My Concubine" won this honor. In 2016, director Feng Xiaogang won a serious international award-the Golden Shell Award at the San Sebastian Film Festival.
In addition to the golden awards and honors at home and abroad, Zhang Yimou shot a "Hero", which opened the precedent for domestic commercial blockbusters, explored a set of effective commercial blockbuster operation models, and opened up a decade-long experience. The "outlet" of domestic commercial blockbusters in ancient costume fantasy. The commercial blockbusters of Feng Xiaogang and others have repeatedly set new box office highs, which are more or less related to the "Hero" of the year. Although
has been nicknamed the "national teacher" by many people for directing the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, which astounded the world, it also indirectly shows that Zhang Yimou's superb control ability and artistic expression of different art forms have completely Surpassed most contemporary domestic directors. This year's National Day mass party director, once again proved Zhang Yimou's pivotal status. Relatively speaking, Feng Xiaogang, who served as the general director of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala once, is hard to tell. The
commercial film is Feng Xiaogang's life. "Feng's Comedy" has made Feng Xiaogang's first-line commercial film director's reputation and worth. With enough money and more successes, Feng Xiaogang obviously wants to create a new world in genre films. Starting from "The Banquet", Feng Xiaogang has directed almost everything Both films will give the audience a different viewing experience from the past, but the unsatisfactory box office of "1942" and the replay of the old tune of "Private Custom" have somewhat affected Feng Xiaogang's established thinking.
may have been suppressed by Zhang conspiracy, who has always been both art and commercial films for too long. Feng Xiaogang's inadvertent "money loss theory" (the "Great Wall" that satirizes Zhang Yimou in the interview) seems particularly harsh. Even director Chen Kaige, who has always been narcissistic about making new films, does not want to comment too much on the merits and demerits of directors of the same generation. Regardless of artistic achievements, Feng Xiaogang's pattern has lost more than one city.
