Recently, Netflix has a new action, this sci-fi theme of "Three-Body" will officially start filming. Subsequently, Netflix's media Netflix queue recently announced a surprising news - Hong Kong director Zeng Guoxiang will direct the first episode of the show, setting the tone for the whole series, in addition to he will also serve as the co-producer of the show.

With the big sale of "Squid" some time ago, more people began to pay attention to "Netflix dramas", so the phrase "produced by Netflix must be a boutique" has recently exploded on the Internet. Netflix dramas have several characteristics: good themes, strong lineups, high production levels, and comprehensive aspects are very "top-notch", so Netflix dramas are usually "hot before they are broadcast".

Zeng Guoxiang's guidance?

As soon as this news came out, it directly caused a discussion, although Zeng Guoxiang's "achievements are quite high" in recent years, he has two masterpieces with extremely high gold content, but the science fiction theme of "Three-Body" is something that Zeng Guoxiang has never been exposed to before, looking at Zeng Guoxiang's directorial resume, a total of 7 movies have been filmed, and he is good at commercial films with "alternative youth themes".

Can Zeng Guoxiang master science fiction films?

This doubt has indeed triggered a lot of discussion. In addition, there is another hot point: it is said that the heroine of the show is the Mexican goddess Aisha Gonzalez.

Those who are familiar with this beautiful woman know that don't look at her young age, people are filming science fiction "started", and "Alita: Battle Angel" is a masterpiece. What kind of performance will Elsa Gonzalez present this time under the "tutelage" of Zeng Guoxiang? With one doubt after another, the success of this science fiction "Three-Body Problem" was "expected" before filming began.

In fact, many people want to know, why did Netflix choose Zeng Guoxiang? Is it "giving face" to his father, Zeng Zhiwei? Seriously, Netflix may not really know anything about Zeng Zhiwei, so it is still Zeng Guoxiang's talent.

Don't say, just nominate. You know, in the entire history of Chinese films, only 8 films have been nominated - "Won the Oscar for Best International Film".

Among them, the most cattle are "National Teacher" Zhang Yimou and "Chinese Pride" Li Ang, the brothers are each nominated for three, it is commendable that Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won the award, "Chinese Pride" deserved.

Literally, Zeng Guoxiang's nomination did not give us too much "shock" feelings, but it may be different in another way: Zhang Yimou's "Hero" was nominated for the 75th Oscars in 2003, and Zeng Guoxiang's "Young You" was nominated for the 93rd Oscars in 2021. From 2003 to 2021, it took 18 years for Chinese films to reappear on the Oscar list.

Perhaps Chinese films can not be made, South Korea's Bong Joon-ho's "Parasite" has won four awards in succession " Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, best international film " " national treasure level film" in succession. But in recent years, Chinese films have also made rapid progress, and perhaps in a few years, we can see the picture of Chinese films winning the "Oscar" again. But before that, it is still necessary to recognize Zeng Guoxiang's talent, after all, not everyone can get oscars and Netflix recognition.

Tsang Kwok-cheung, born on November 8, 1979 in Hong Kong, graduated from the Department of Sociology at the University of Toronto, Canada.

In 2010, he co-directed the Lunar New Year film "Lover's Whisper" with Yin Zhiwen and was nominated for the Best New Director at the 47th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards.

Since returning to Hong Kong after graduation, Zeng Guoxiang has always been silently relying on himself, and it is said that when he decided to join the show business circle, he also made it clear to his father Zeng Zhiwei and his sister Zeng Baoyi that he refused all "special care". This is also why zeng Guoxiang just debuted in the years, even the Hong Kong media did not know his "background".

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="78" > Zeng Guoxiang: A different "star second generation", in order to prove that they started from running dragon sets! </h1>

The general "second generation of stars" will not experience too many "ups and downs", and the conditions make them eager to use all "network resources" to make themselves popular quickly. But Zeng Guoxiang is different, he only wants to rely on his own efforts to get recognition, which can be seen in the role he played, and has played many inconspicuous small roles for several years, such as homosexuality in "Flying Tiger Expedition" and waste youth in "Lao Kasa".

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="80" > Zeng Guoxiang: It took 10 years from actor to director, and he finally won "full of honors" on his own</h1>

From 2010, directing the first work was nominated for the Golden Horse Award, when Zeng Guoxiang showed his directing talent, and then his acting career was also "ups and downs for many years", until 2016, Zeng Guoxiang directed the movie "July and Ansheng", the film box office was average, only 167 million yuan, but at the 53rd Golden Horse Awards, the film can be described as "full of word of mouth, numerous awards" In addition to winning "Best Director" and "Best Screenplay" in one fell swoop, the "Double Egg Yolk" film queen unexpectedly achieved Zhou Dongyu , Ma Sichun two little girls. It is also with this "July and Ansheng" that Zeng Guoxiang "became famous".

In 2019, Zeng Guoxiang returned again with "Young You"

The film achieved a good result of 1.558 billion yuan at the box office, and as for the awards, it swept the 39th Hong Kong Film Awards: including Best New Actor, Best Actress, Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Costume Design, Best Original Film Song, and Best Cinematography. These 8 awards were all taken away by "Young You" without suspense.

Zeng Guoxiang single-handedly praised Zhou Dongyu as "the first post-90s Golden Horse Golden Statue Double Shadow Queen". And Yi Qianxi's "Little North Brother" directly won the best new actor, which indirectly paved the way for Yi Qianxi's acting, and the subsequent series of "blockbusters" were all thanks to this "Young You" to let people see his acting skills.

It is worth mentioning that the theme of "Young You" focuses on the theme of "school violence", which is a topic of very high attention in recent years, and the overall performance of the actors is very exciting, so in addition to winning numerous awards in China, "Young You" finally got the "recognition" of the Oscars.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="81" > Zeng Guoxiang: From the original "unmarried family" to the current happy marriage, it is Zeng Zhiwei's "credit"</h1>

Zeng Guoxiang once said in an interview: "I am a little resistant to marriage, I feel that marriage is very boring, because many people get married and divorced, so why do you want to get married?" He always believed that it was enough for two people to be happy together, and marriage was just a formality, so don't care too much. For this concept of his, Zeng Zhiwei, as a father, "does not agree with it."

All along, Zeng Guoxiang is really different from other "rich children", not only the above mentioned "do not rely on relationships, rely on themselves", in terms of feelings, he is also very single-minded, although there have been some "gossip", but Zeng Guoxiang and his wife Wang Minyi have been in love for many years.

The two met in the 2010 movie "囡囡", at first because of the age difference between the two of them of 12 years, there was not much good feeling, and occasionally a few friends gathered to eat together, which also indirectly allowed Zeng Zhiwei to know Wang Minyi, one after another, Zeng Zhiwei was very fond of this "daughter-in-law", so with the "help" of Zeng Zhiwei, the two began to drag in 2013.

In this way, the two shots for 6 years, and Zeng Zhiwei also gave Wang Minyi a lot of resources to help over the years, so she can be seen in many Hong Kong dramas.

But at this time, the 39-year-old Zeng Guoxiang was already an elderly "leftover man", but he "always insisted" on his concept of not marrying, and for Wang Minyi, who has never had a "name", from time to time there will be some reports to "satirize" her. This also made Zeng Zhiwei unable to look at it, because he had always liked Wang Minyi and had long regarded her as a "daughter-in-law" in his heart. Therefore, under the "continuous efforts" of Zeng Zhiwei, Zeng Guoxiang and Wang Minyi finally officially registered their marriage on October 3, 2019.

Zeng Guoxiang, who has a successful career and a happy marriage, do you have any expectations for his next "Three-Body Problem"?
