Feng Xiaogang was once a leader in the Chinese film industry, and the films he directed have won good results one after another, with amazing box office figures, and he is known as "a big director with a box office of 10 billion". At that time, he dared to speak out, fearless, and was known as the "little steel cannon".
However, just when the audience was expecting him to continue to create cinematic masterpieces, the former director suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if the world had evaporated, and no new works of his came out for a long time.
This shocked the outside world, what was the reason why this popular director, who had created many blockbusters with a box office of tens of billions, suddenly stopped creating films? Could it be that there is some hidden secret? What's even more surprising is that Feng Xiaogang, the "little steel cannon" who once dared to challenge the authority of film and television and criticized mercilessly, has now become silent, and even occasional appearances are difficult to cause any sensation.
Feng Xiaogang, as a "little steel cannon", has completely lost the sharpness of the year? Or is it a setback that has led to obscurity? We need to trace his life journey and solve the mystery of his transformation from a "little steel cannon" to a "little squib".
Life is a long road, and it is inevitable that there will be ups and downs, and even a highly praised director like Feng Xiaogang has inevitably experienced struggles and troughs. His life can be called a legend of a poor man's counterattack.
Feng Xiaogang, who was born in an ordinary family in Beijing, has felt the difficulty of life since he was a child. His childhood was a difficult one with his mother and sister.
He, from a poor family, has been very sensible since he was a child.
After graduating from high school, Feng Xiaogang chose to join the army art troupe without hesitation in order to relieve the financial pressure on his family. In the 7 or 8 years in the art troupe, although he found a way for him to survive, Feng Xiaogang often felt inferior because of his inferior background and ordinary appearance.
Although the living environment is very difficult, when he was in the art troupe, Feng Xiaogang still met the first love in his life, it was a girl who made him think about it for a long time, and the two fell in love like this.
However, fate played a cruel joke. The girl's father, due to his deep-rooted class concept, resolutely opposed their relationship, and finally ruthlessly included Feng Xiaogang in the streamlined list, and this sweet first love died.
After leaving the art troupe, Feng Xiaogang found a job as a trade union officer in a construction company and lived an ordinary life. Day after day, year after year, his life was spent in monotony.
Despite this, Feng Xiaogang has always had an unwilling fighting spirit in his heart, and has always been eager to break through the status quo and make a difference on the road of life.
Just when he felt confused and helpless about the future prospects, a chance encounter brought Feng Xiaogang the first major turning point in his life. He got acquainted with Zheng Xiaolong, a director who was already well-known at that time, and Wang Shuo, a famous writer, who were highly appreciated and enthusiastically supported Feng Xiaogang, which gave him the first precious opportunity to work in the film and television industry.
The acquaintance of Zheng Xiaolong and Wang Shuo opened the door to Feng Xiaogang's film and television career. In 1984, Feng Xiaogang participated in the filming of the movie "Tree of Life and Death" for the first time as an art assistant and officially entered the film and television industry.
Although he started out as an obscure artist, Feng Xiaogang has always maintained a diligent and studious spirit. He not only observes the things around him carefully, but is also good at asking others for advice and learning.
He has always maintained close contact with Zheng Xiaolong and Wang Shuo, hoping to make a difference on the road of film and television with the help and appreciation of the two mentors.
Opportunities are thus open to those who are prepared. In 1989, Zheng Xiaolong invited Feng Xiaogang to participate in the script creation in order to shoot the TV series "The Story of the Editorial Department".
Although the process was difficult, and the script even suffered an unexpected loss, with the perseverance of not giving up, Feng Xiaogang completed the task of rewriting hundreds of thousands of words alone, and finally saw his name in the crew's script writing list.
After experiencing stumbles along the way but being highly promoted, Feng Xiaogang became a well-known screenwriter, and his film and television career has also entered a new stage.
What's even more exciting is that in the process of cooperating with Zheng Xiaolong to shoot a movie, he got acquainted with the young and beautiful heroine Xu Fan, and had a rare sincere affection in the cooperation.
Together, they co-founded Good Dream Films.
Just as his career was booming, an accident happened, and Wang Shuo's article "Ruins in the Wilderness" was fiercely criticized, and Feng Xiaogang and their company films were also blocked one after another, unable to be released as scheduled, and fell into a major crisis.
Therefore, they had to ask for help everywhere, and were even persuaded by the then director of Beijing Film Studio to temporarily stop filming, and Feng Xiaogang personally ordered the demolition of the scenes that had been built, leaving them in a helpless predicament.
However, the good times passed quickly, and the crisis was quickly resolved. In the film "Party A and Party B", which adapted Wang Shuo's novel, Feng Xiaogang finally reversed the decline and restarted his career in the upward period.
The success of "Party A and Party B" has laid a solid foundation for Feng Xiaogang in the film industry. Since then, he has directed a series of masterpieces, such as "Big Names" and "Mobile Phone", which have won unanimous praise from the audience and the industry, and have created considerable blockbuster results.
Among them, "Night Banquet" not only won the Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, but also set a new milestone in "No Thieves in the World" with an astonishing box office of 120 million yuan.
At this time, Feng Xiaogang has become a popular fried chicken in the director's industry, known as the "10 billion box office director", he is full of self-confidence, bold and fearless, just like a "little steel cannon".
Huayi Brothers valued the huge commercial value he contained and threw him a contract with an annual salary of up to 4 million yuan.
Feng Xiaogang's career has been strengthened with the strong support of Huayi. He has created a number of blockbuster Chinese New Year blockbusters for Huayi for several consecutive years, with "Tangshan Earthquake" being the most eye-catching. This work, which reflects the great disaster of the Chinese nation, not only won unanimous praise, but also set an astonishing box office performance of 665 million yuan, thus pushing Feng Xiaogang's directorial career to a new peak.
In addition to the brilliant achievements of his career, Feng Xiaogang's personal life is also very happy. His married life with his wife Xu Fan is like a prosperous journey, and they chose to enter the palace of marriage at the peak of their careers, and they were newly married Yan'er.
As a new husband, Feng Xiaogang very much hopes that his wife Xu Fan can make a difference in her career. He once tried his best to win a queen crown for Xu Fan, but he repeatedly failed to do so, which made him feel very helpless.
Just when his career was in full swing, Feng Xiaogang's life inevitably experienced ups and downs. Although his bold and outspoken "little steel cannon" aura has won widespread praise from everyone, it sometimes makes him suffer the consequences.
In 2009, Feng Xiaogang's family was in crisis due to a controversial incident. At that time, some media exposed that he spent a good night with the hostess Shen Xing. As soon as this news was made public, the outside world immediately launched an overwhelming public opinion attack on him.
Faced with sudden and powerful grief, his wife Xu Fan chose to run away from home in pain. Fortunately, with Xu Fan's tolerance and forgiveness, Feng Xiaogang was able to return to his family and continue to engage in film creation.
However, what got Feng Xiaogang into trouble was a high-pressure contract he signed with Huayi Brothers. Since Huayi Brothers acquired Feng Xiaogang's company earlier, Huayi Brothers required him to achieve a performance target of nearly 180 million yuan within 5 years, otherwise he would have to pay out of pocket to make up the difference.
This was undoubtedly a rigorous test for him.
In the face of tremendous pressure, although Feng Xiaogang tried his best, he was still unable to achieve the reversal of his performance target in a short period of time. Although 2016's "I Am Not Pan Jinlian" and 2017's "Fanghua" received a good response, they did not completely reverse the situation.
Just when he was anxious, an entertainment scandal once again swept him into the whirlpool.
In 2018, Feng Xiaogang and Liu Zhenyun's movie "Mobile Phone 2" caused a sensation after it was launched. The main problem is that there are some criticisms between this film and its previous "Mobile Phone", and many people think that the image of the male protagonist portrayed in the movie is too similar to Xiaohu, the host of the Little Tigers, which is difficult to accept.
Faced with strong dissatisfaction from Xiaohu's company, Feng Xiaogang finally decided to change the name of the movie after repeated thinking. However, when people thought that the incident had subsided, screenwriter Liu Zhenyun once again "stabbed the hornet's nest", and he openly stated that the movie would be renamed "Hello, Crazy!" This is undoubtedly a public insult and provocation to Xiaohu Company.
Now, Feng Xiaogang, the once majestic director with constant box office peaks, seems to have lost his former sharpness and popularity. After the violent blow of the "Mobile Phone 2" incident, his film career was like a rocket that died prematurely, losing its original momentum and direction.
In recent years, Feng Xiaogang's new works have rarely come out, and the appearance of online drama works is also in 2022's "Far from the South". However, the ratings of this online drama were dismal after the broadcast, and it even won the first Douban score of less than 5 points in Feng Xiaogang's life, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.
Looking back on his bumpy life journey, Feng Xiaogang couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. He came from a poor family, joined the art troupe after hardships, stood out from the ordinary workplace, and finally successfully broke into the film and television industry with perseverance and talent, opened up his own future step by step, and finally became a 10 billion box office director admired by everyone.
However, the slump after the peak of his career was not easy, during which his career and family suffered a major blow.
However, those who can learn from their failures will start all over again. Feng Xiaogang is also seeking his own transformation, hoping to use new creative forms and directions to regain the glory and feelings of the past.
As a veteran courtier in the film industry, we very much look forward to him using his talent and strength to cheer up again and move forward bravely, so that he can create brilliance again on the challenging road in the future.
