Regarding the silence of the "ghost director" Jiang Wen in film creation in recent years, it has indeed attracted people's attention and speculation. Judging from the available information, Jiang Wen did not have any new film works after 2018's "Evil Does Not Prevail Over Justice". But this does not mean that he has embarked on the "road of no return", but it may be that he has encountered a bottleneck in his creation, or is waiting for a suitable time and subject.
First of all, Jiang Wen, as a talented director and actor, has always attracted much attention for his works. His previous works, such as "Let the Bullets Fly", have been recognized by the audience and the industry. Therefore, it is only natural that expectations for his new work are high. However, creating a good film is not an easy task and requires an investment of inspiration, time, and energy. Jiang Wen may be looking for new inspiration or working on a more challenging work.
Secondly, the changes in the entertainment industry may also have an impact on Jiang Wen's creation. Although he has a pivotal position in the entertainment industry, he will inevitably be affected by some negative public opinion. For example, rumors about whether he was involved in the "C position grabbing incident", although there is a lack of conclusive evidence, may also cause some trouble to his image and creative environment.
In addition, Jiang Wen's interactions with foreign directors such as Quentin do reflect his attention and efforts to cultural dissemination. But this does not mean that he has embarked on the "road of no return" because of this. On the contrary, this cross-cultural exchange may have provided him with new creative ideas and inspiration.
In short, we cannot judge Jiang Wen's creative ability and value only by the number of his works in recent years. As an excellent director and actor, Jiang Wen has always been looking for and breaking through his creative limits. We look forward to him being able to bring us a shocking work again one day in the future.
