The ceiling of Chinese movies is probably not Jiang Wen , nor Zhang Yimou . At present, it seems that it should be Xie Jin !
In recent years, as I got older, I gradually discovered that there was a great forgotten director in China, Xie Jin, Mr. Xie, the kind of great director who can be called a people's artist!
Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, and Zhang Yimou, apart from being directors, would be great if they could be called artists, let alone be called people.
Mr. Xie can be called the Akira Kurosawa of China.
The Chinese music scene is basically divided into three parts: Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan
Hong Kong is the most dazzling region in the film industry.
Hong Kong has produced many outstanding directors through large-scale production:
Wong Kar-Wai , the most literary director, whose Hong Kong style of literature and poetry is unique in the world of film; unfortunately, judging from the subject matter, his influence is limited.
Wang Jing, the most successful commercial director
Tsui Hark , the brand of Hong Kong movies is martial arts, and the brand of martial arts is Tsui Hark. There is no big gap or breakthrough between Hu Jinquan and Cheng Xiaodong . In fact, there is not much breakthrough.
Liu Weiqiang , a late blooming gangster! Infernal Affairs is comparable to The Godfather, but it is not as profound and has a grand theme. After this peak, it will be difficult to continue Diao
John Woo , "A Better Tomorrow" is a classic among classics, a peak among peaks! There have been few good works since then, which is a pity!
Stephen Chow : Nonsense, an actor turned director, more successful than Jackie Chan , Sammo Hung . It's a little less artistic and a little more philistine than ours, but it's very capable of catching the audience's needs. In essence, he is similar to Liu Laogen.
Taiwanese directors, including Edward Yang, Hou Hsiao-hsien , etc. In recent years, Wei Desheng , Huang Xinyao , Nine Knives, etc.
Edward Yang
Hou Hsiao-hsien
In the Mainland, there are only two directors who can really talk about going abroad: Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen
Both are called masters and are the pride of the Chinese language!
In terms of artistry and seniority, Zhang Yimou beats Jiang Wen (Zhang Yimou coached Jiang Wen as a director); in terms of criticality and international integration, Jiang Wen is the first person
Chen Kaige , who was at the top when he debuted, Farewell My Concubine is so good
Jia Zhangke , the scary thing is that it is always improving, it is too critical, too sharp, and slightly lacking in artistry. It will also be the pride of Chinese in the future or it is already
. I used to think that the best in Chinese is Jiang Wen
The brand of Chinese is Jiang Wen
until I saw the works of Mr. Xie!
Xie Jin
That is the real master!
He has some of the above-mentioned directors, and also has some of the above-mentioned directors who don’t have them!
Wrangler
Its criticism is deeper than Jiang Wen and Jia Zhangke, but it is so natural; its narrative and literary nature are smoother than Wong Kar-wai and Farewell My Concubine, and there is room for satire, comparison, and criticism in the middle; there are also some popular works in recent years Buddha Plus and the Family of Thieves reveal the reality of society...
Furong Town
Mr. Xie is the Grandmaster
The last Grandmaster in Asia was Kurosawa Akira.
If we include Uncle An, he can be regarded as a great master.
There are only two people who can represent the ceiling of the Chinese language: Xie Jin and Li An
You may not buy Mr. Xie’s account. After all, he has not won any major awards, nor has he Serve as a judge at some major film festivals. However, there is a problem with the era in which the old man lived. Everyone is welcome to see Mr. Xie’s works, the works speak for themselves!
