On August 23, the famous director Chen Musheng died of nasopharyngeal cancer at the age of 58.
It is reported that Chen Musheng's last film before his death was the film "The Great Case of Anger" with Zhen Zidan and Xie Tingfeng, which was completed at the end of 2019. During the filming of this film last year, he already felt unwell, and after examination, he found that he had advanced nasopharyngeal cancer, and his condition was so severe that he could not continue shooting, and he had to leave the post-film work to others.
Chen Musheng's condition was still not controlled after being hospitalized, and he eventually passed away regrettably, leaving his wife and three children behind.
After the news was made public, Chen Musheng's former friends, actors Feng Delun and Yin Ziwei, who cooperated in the filming of "New PoliceMan", sent tributes one after another. Feng Delun posted the film on the occasion, praising Chen Musheng as a strong force in the film industry, believing that he was honest and kind, and was a gentleman. Later, Nicholas Tse also posted: "My mentor, I will always miss you. "
Chen Musheng has many representative works, including "New Police Story" co-produced with Jackie Chan; "Sweeping Drugs" starring Gu Tianle Liu Qingyun Zhang Jiahui and so on. He studied under Du Qifeng in his early years, assisted in the filming of many TV series as Du Qifeng's assistant, accumulated experience in the industry, and after establishing himself, he has cooperated with countless film queens and is one of the mainstays of the Chinese film industry.
Chen Musheng has been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director many times with films such as "Double Males" and "Keep Talking", and the films he directed have also been nominated for best film at major film festivals.
The reason why Chen Musheng can have so many successful works is because of his control of the project's excellence, and people in the circle have heard of his harshness long ago, and they all know his personality, and once they can't meet the requirements, they will directly scold. Chen Musheng also described himself as hot-tempered, and said bluntly: "I lose my temper because they are not professional. "
Previously, there have been rumors that young actors such as Fang Zuming and Yu Wenle were "taught" by Director Chen when filming "The True Colors of Boys", and Chen Musheng also admitted that he did scold people because Fang Zuming and his party played game consoles on the set, and he said bluntly: "There is no possibility of sloppiness in my place." "
Although he has worked hard in the entertainment circle of sound and color dogs and horses for many years, Chen Musheng's personal life is very simple, there have been almost no scandals over the years, and he is recognized as a good husband and father by the Chinese director community. He said in the interview: "Every time I finish a movie, I go straight home because I want to spend more time with my family. "
The sudden death of this excellent director has made many fans feel sorry, although he can no longer continue to use his own lens to tell the audience the story of joy and sorrow, but the light and shadow records he left in the past and the world of love and righteousness he constructed in his works will always remain in the hearts of fans.
