Recently, the famous director Feng Xiaogang appeared in the United States, along with his wife Ms. Xu Fan, and their daughter Xu Duo.
It can be seen from the disclosed pictures that Feng Xiaogang is dressed casually, wearing a dark casual jacket on the upper body, khaki casual pants on the lower body, and open-toe slippers on his feet.
Ms. Xu Fan is also wearing similar casual attire, and the couple is dropping off guests at the door of the mansion, judging from their movements and expressions, the guests are very different, and their attitude is very enthusiastic.
Their youngest daughter Xu Duo is their adopted child, has been treating it as their own for many years, enjoying the best educational resources when she was young, and now she has just reached the age of adulthood, and has followed her adoptive parents to Los Angeles to settle in the United States, presumably will stay in the United States in the future.
Feng Xiaogang is one of the most outstanding directors of the fifth generation of China, his works have a great impact on the development of China's film industry, his existence is of far-reaching significance to the Chinese film industry, he now takes his family to settle in the United States, does it indicate that he is about to bid farewell to the film industry and return to the field!
He was born in Beijing, a native of Beijing, his family is ordinary, but he caught up with the best times, because of his military career, he was fortunate to meet the group of people represented by Wang Shuo, which laid the foundation for his later film career.
Looking around his more than 30 years of directing career, it can be described as "Chengye Xiao He Defeat and Xiao He", his most famous works are almost all small-budget films rich in the cultural characteristics of the Beijing circle, and he is good at making works that use black humor to satirize the social situation.
It's a pity that he is not willing to do this, after the wild flow of capital entered the film and television circle, he and a number of directors have transformed and moved closer to Hollywood blockbusters, and the result can be imagined, the director no longer has the right to speak, and they have become pawns of capital.
Feng Xiaogang's last film was directed and filmed in 2019 "Only Yun Knows", and the response was average, and his "Fanghua" filmed in 2017 became a real swan song.
That is to say, Feng Xiaogang began to prepare for the next life plan five years ago, this "Only Yun Knows" is his test of the water of the trapped beast, since the response is mediocre, he also died of determination to continue directing, planning to return to the countryside.
Leaving his hometown, where he has lived for more than sixty years, was an extremely painful decision, but there was no better way for him because he didn't have many options.
He needs to stay away from the disputes in the entertainment industry, but also needs to find a place he is familiar with, and he also needs to arrange his daughter's academic problems, and the United States, where he has purchased real estate, has undoubtedly become the best choice.
Feng Xiaogang bought real estate in the United States in 2014 and 2018, spending $5 million and more than $6 million respectively, and the mansion they live in now was purchased for $5 million, with a current market value of about $6.53 million.
If there are only these two real estate assets left in life, a family of three can live comfortably without any labor. But their capital is much more than that.
Feng Xiaogang's wealth mainly comes from filming and investment income, he participated in nearly 100 film and television works in his lifetime, he received a part of the dividends from these works when he completed his works, and can continue to receive dividends from these works.
According to incomplete statistics, there are five companies where Feng Xiaogang is the legal representative, and two are still in existence. There are thirteen companies in which it invests, most of which are in existence.
Xu Fan followed her husband all the way and participated in the performance of many film and television works, Xu Fanhuo's era, there was no tense environment in the entertainment industry today, the salary she has accumulated in this life can be imagined, and the dividends recovered from the investment of these salaries can be imagined.
The end of the actor is the director, the end of the director is the merchant, and the end of the businessman is cash.
People live a lifetime for nothing more than two things: one is fame and fortune, and the other is self. The former they already have, even if they can earn more, there is not much meaning, the latter is the goal they most desire at the moment, to return to themselves, find comfort, and enjoy life.
And all this needs to be based on money. Visible and tangible banknotes are the source of the security these people need in their old age.
Feng Xiaogang has passed the age of huajia, and many netizens are concerned about whether he will return to China one day to shoot movies, and the answer to this question can be found from some details.
Some netizens noticed that Feng Xiaogang had emptied all the content of his personal social account, leaving only an empty title and more than 22 million fans who didn't know where to go.
If he only lives in Los Angeles temporarily, he will most likely not be able to empty his domestic social accounts, and he has only one purpose in doing so, which is to completely bid farewell to the past, completely bid farewell to the film and television industry, and welcome a new life.
As a director, he left behind many classics and has fulfilled his mission, and he is qualified. As a public figure, his personality, words and actions are controversial, just like his last decision, still very personal.
