Zhang Yimou is going to make a TV series, and Xiaogang Feng is making an online drama: What happened to the fifth-generation film director?

Zhang Yimou is 70 years old this year.

But he is still active on the screen.

In an interview, the writer Chen Yan revealed that his work "The Leading Role", which won the Mao Dun Literature Prize, is being adapted into a TV series.

At present, the script is about to start shooting, and the director is Zhang Yimou.

Movie master, a world-famous city, has actually started making TV series.

Many people can't believe the news.

Coincidentally, Xiaogang Feng, who is as famous as Zhang Yimou, is also reported to be filming a TV series "Journey".

Two people are the most famous fifth-generation film directors in China.

But now they are making a TV series. What happened to them?

Take Zhang Yimou's new film One Second as an example, which has been released for nearly two years.

It has a good reputation. Published 14 days, and scored 7.8 so far.

But the box office is a mess, so far only 65438+25 million.

In the cat's eye prediction, the final box office of the film is 65.438+32 billion.

Even a youth film under the guise of "depression" can't compare with it.

I have to say that director Chen today does not "resist" the box office.

Besides, after the "Mobile Phone 2" storm, Xiaogang Feng did something that only the cloud knew.

The evaluation of movies has always been polarized.

On Douban, the first comment is:

A movie is like a cup of boiled water.

Feng Dao, who has always been famous for his commercial films, suffered a box office failure.

Even under the vigorous publicity, it only got the box office of 65.438+59 billion.

You know, from the beginning of Party A and Party B of 1997, Feng Dao has been on the domestic box office throne for many times.

But today's movies have lost their appeal in the past.

And a multi-billion-dollar movie is not worth mentioning.

Not to mention Chen Kaige, who was spit out by various kinds in variety shows.

Today's director Chen is not only controversial, but also unsatisfactory at the box office.

The Legend of the Demon Cat has been filmed for several years, and the cost has not been recovered.

His "My People, My Motherland", as the general director, finally got a high box office.

As a result, my own White Meteor was also questioned as one of the worst.

At that time, Xiaogang Feng, Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige were called "Troika" directed by China.

But now they are all questioned:

Lian Po is too old to eat.

But even in the face of this dilemma, the great guides still did not stop.

It goes without saying that Zhang Yimou's "high yield" is well known.

Apart from Xiaogang Feng, I am not Pan Jinlian of 20 16, Fanghua of 20 17, and Mobile Phone 2 of 20 18. Only Yunyun of 20 19 knows it.

Basically, it is a movie every year. On Douban, Feng Dao has several plays in the planning.

Even Chen Kaige, which is relatively "low-yield", is now producing new works.

Xiaogang Feng, the youngest of the three, is 62 years old.

But they still enjoy making movies and are becoming more and more "sincere".

Feng Dao, who has been filming commercial films in the past, has also begun to face himself in recent years and shoot nostalgic youth, only the cloud knows.

In the past, both Party A and Party B were ashamed to express their feelings, but now they are really affectionate.

20 16 before the release of "I'm not Pan Jinlian", Xu Zhiyuan interviewed Xiaogang Feng and asked if it would bother him if the film was not successful in business.

Aside Xiaogang Feng, sincere replied:

If I have been melodramatic at the box office, why do I choose to shoot? Besides, they are 60 and 58 years old. Unlike some young directors, they still have plenty of time. If they can, they can have one, but if they can't, they can have another.

During my effective time, I still feel that movies should be directed at my heart.

Feng Dao's words actually spoke their minds.

After the movie "From Decline to Prosperity", they still want to leave something behind.

So movies didn't work, so I tried TV series.

Even in their sweet years, they are willing to start again and again.
