In mid-to-late October, the official announcement of the guest lineup of "Director Please Advise".
Compared with a group of small white directors, the joining of "surprise director" Guan Jinpeng can be said to be a guarantee of quality.
In this life, Guan Jinpeng has been a cutscene, an apprentice, a director, and a producer, and it seems that as long as it is related to movies, he is enthusiastic.
And he is indeed talented, not only has he won countless awards, but also like his teacher Xu Anhua, he is a solid film emperor and queen maker.
Today, he is transforming into a producer, producer, promoting cutting-edge directors, and playing with young people.
It is precisely because he has been dealing with movies for most of his life, the network resources behind Guan Jinpeng are really enviable.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="149" > studied under Xu Anhua</h1>
Kwan was born in Hong Kong in the autumn of 1957.
He did not have a prominent family background, his father loved to gamble money, horses, play mahjong, and often quarreled with his mother over money.
When he was young, he not only rarely felt the love of his father, but also helped his mother to do odd jobs.
And his greatest pleasure is to save up breakfast money and transportation expenses, go to the movies, and experience other people's lives from light and shadow.
Although poor, his mother attached great importance to his education, and even spent a lot of money to send him to the best secondary school.
There, Guan Jinpeng came into contact with stage plays for the first time, and this also changed his life.
Not long after he was exposed to stage plays, Guan Jinpeng proposed his idea to his mother for the first time, wanting to switch from science to liberal arts.
Although the mother did not agree at first, which parent could screw over their child.
In the end, Guan Jinpeng was admitted to the Department of Communication of Baptist University as he wished.
When he first started college, he played with his friends and signed up for a TVB artist training class.
Unexpectedly, he was really admitted.
However, he did not become an artist, but began to remember on the spot and slowly entered the core field of the film.
In the late 1970s, the Hong Kong film industry also blew a new wave of strong winds.
The advantage of doing a field note is that you can contact different directors, and those directors are the leaders of the Hong Kong New Wave.
The first thing to say is Xu Anhua.
Hui Anhua is the premier female director in Hong Kong's New Wave, and she has not only won countless best directors, but also exported countless best pictures.
Doing a field note around Xu Anhua, Guan Jinpeng naturally learned a lot.
The two most important points, one is the care for the characters, and the other is the sincerity of the film.
Xu Anhua once told Guan Jinpeng: "Ah Guan, you must remember that any movie you make must be your last movie, and you will not have to shoot it in the future, so that all your energy can be released." ”
Perhaps at the beginning, he was exposed to a very positive three views, and although Guan Jinpeng was not highly productive, he was wonderful.
Even many years later, he also made a cameo appearance in "Sister Peach", which can be seen that the friendship between the master and the apprentice is deep.
In the cooperation with director Tan Jiaming, Guan Jinpeng feels the most deeply that the requirements for a cut and an aesthetic form must be done to the extreme.
In the end, how extreme is it, Lu Yu once sighed: "When Guan Jinpeng makes a field note, how meticulous can he be?" That is, the ice cube of the previous shot and the ice cube of the next shot must be exactly the same. ”
He was also obsessed with the job, basically working 15 hours a day, sometimes even 18 hours.
At that time, Guan Jinpeng often brushed his teeth and bathed in the TV building, snoozed on the sofa and on the floor, and then continued to work.
Although he only took hundreds of dollars a month, he was very content.
Because there are too many excellent people around, and Guan Jinpeng is also unconsciously absorbing the strengths of others and slowly growing. In stealing and worshiping teachers again and again, he gradually saw his own advantages and also saw his own disadvantages.
Of course, he also mingled with all kinds of wireless celebrities. There are not only directors such as Yu Rentai, Xu Anhua, Tan Jiaming and Yan Hao, but also actors such as Liang Chaowei, Liu Jialing and Maggie Cheung.
Then, with his own efforts and social capital, he changed from a field record to an assistant director, and then grew from an assistant director to a real director, realizing the counterattack of his life.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="191" > became a director</h1>
In 1985, Guan Jinpeng directed his first work in his life, "Woman's Heart".
This film not only successfully invited Chow Yun Fat and Zhong Chuhong as male and female protagonists to ensure the ratings, but also won many nominations for Best Film, Best Screenplay, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, and Best Music at the 5th Hong Kong Film Awards, which received word of mouth.
At that time, Hong Kong films had gradually shifted from literature and art to commercial, and Kwan Kam Peng's first work, on the basis of not losing style, guaranteed the box office, which also allowed him to attract actors and investment for subsequent works.
A year later, "Underground Love" was released.
In this play, not only Liang Chaowei and Wen Bixia, but also Zhou Runfa and Cai Qin are willing to do matching.
Of course, Guan Jinpeng still did not disappoint everyone.
Some film critics said that this film has a strange narrative charm and is a rare wholehearted literary film.
Finally, the film also won the 6th Academy Awards for Best Actress and Best Screenwriter, as well as nominations for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Director, Best Acoustic Song, Best Soundtrack and so on.
It can be seen that Guan Jinpeng's works can be taken from all aspects.
Time came to 1987, with the accumulation of the first two films, Guan Jinpeng ushered in his own masterpiece of life - "Rouge Buckle".
The film's interlaced narrative of time and space shows the helplessness and sadness in love.
The film won the Best Film of the Academy Awards that year, and after Mei Yanfang won the Golden Horse Golden Statue Double Film with the role of Ruhua, Guan Jinpeng also won the first best director in his life.
Years later, "Rouge Buckle" was even rated as one of the 100 Hong Kong movies that had to be seen by the Hong Kong Film Archive.
Guan Jinpeng also participated in the international film festival for the first time with this film.
In 1989, Kwan Kam Peng directed "People in New York", Maggie Cheung from Hong Kong, Zhang Aijia from Taiwan, and Sichenkova from the mainland met for the first time in the movie, and sparks were everywhere.
Maggie Cheung, who was just 25 years old, also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress for the first time with this film, and the film also won many nominations for best picture and best editing of the year.
Two years later, Guan Jinpeng found Maggie Cheung again to star in the movie "Ruan Lingyu".
He understands both the beauty of Maggie Cheung and the beauty of Ruan Lingyu, and it is just right that he fused the beauty of the two together.
That year, Maggie Cheung was just 27 years old, and under the guidance of Guan Jinpeng, she won the Best Actress Award at the 42nd Berlin International Film Festival and the Best Actress Award at the 28th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards for this role.
The film also won the Special Recommendation Award of the Jury at the 28th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards, the Silver Bear Award at the 42nd Berlin International Film Festival, and Kwan Kam Peng also won the Best Director at the 28th Chicago International Film Festival for this film.
In 1994, Guan Jinpeng directed "Red Roses and White Roses".
This film not only allowed Kwan Kam Peng to be nominated for the Golden Bear Award, Chen Chong to win the Academy Award and the Hong Kong Film Critics Association Award, but also left behind classic songs such as "Rose Fragrance".
In 2001, a film with some taboo colors was released.
This time, Guan Jinpeng hit Jun Ye CP on the audience's public screen for the first time.
Guan Jinpeng is very good at insight into human nature and excavates characters.
Under his leadership, Liu Ye, who was just in his early 20s, won the Golden Horse Award for Film Emperor, and Hu Jun won the Hong Kong Film Critics Association Award, the Hong Kong Film Golden Bauhinia Award, and the Chinese Film Media Award for Best Actor.
The film won the Golden Circle Award at the 8th Faisal Asian Film Festival in France, and Kwan Kam Peng also won the Golden Horse Award for Best Director again.
Some people say that Guan Jinpeng is the male director who understands women the most, in fact, he not only understands women, but also understands men.
He has a strong feminist color, so he can find out who is suitable for what role, and can also help them ride the wind and waves in the ocean of movies.
At this stage, he has achieved both himself and countless actors.

After entering the new century, Guan Jinpeng has several more identities - producer, producer, judge.
In his own words, he hopes to learn from Xu Anhua and pass on his ideas on film.
He began to use his experience to promote one new director after another.
Last year's "Want to See You" made Ke Jiayi a hit. But her first appearance was in Cheng Xiaoze's "Insignificant", in which Guan Jinpeng was the executive producer.
The pure beauty of the film is moving, and Zhang Rongrong, as one of the two heroines, was also nominated for the Golden Horse Award and the Asian Film Award for Best Actress with this film.
In the process of being a producer, Guan Jinpeng also introduced the screenwriter to Cheng Xiaoze, which added a lot of color to the film.
In 2015, young directors such as Wen Muye, Dong Runnian, Han Yi, Fu Tianyu and Ji Jiatong directed a unit film "City in Love".
As one of the producers, Guan Jinpeng not only personally checked and kept improving, but also brought Zhang Rongrong to make people shine again.
Subsequently, Guan Jinpeng supervised the film "Huan Ai", making Sun Yi the best newcomer actress at several film festivals.
In 2017, Roll Over! Lin Yuxian, the director of "A Xin", wanted to try romance films and invited Guan Jinpeng to be the executive producer.
The first heroine they locked was Zhou Dongyu, but Zhou Dongyu said that she could not understand the kind of collapse of the heroine who was slagged in love.
At first, Lin Yuxian thought that Zhou Dongyu wanted to refuse, but after discussing with Guan Jinpeng, he found that Zhou Dongyu was just in his early 20s that year, and there was no thrilling love experience.
Just guide her to act according to her own understanding, perhaps the little girl's first reaction is the most touching.
In addition to being a producer, Guan Jinpeng has also made many representative works as a producer.
First of all, the one to be said is the "Queen of Defeated Dogs", which once swept the two sides of the strait.
At that time, the market for Taiwan puppets was not as good as in previous years.
And "Queen of The Lost Dogs" for the first time locked the vision on the elderly single young women, with a different perspective, telling a different kind of female story.
The results are also surprisingly good.
There is also a "To Youth" that boldly launched countless newcomers.
This film not only opened the precedent of mainland youth films, but also Jiang Shuying, Yang Zishan, Zhao Youting and other newcomer actors, who also started their own take-off acting careers.
Later, Yang Zishan and Zhao Youting partnered to star in "Antarctic Love", and Guan Jinpeng served as a producer again, singing a polar love song together.
Having done so much film-related work, Guan Jinpeng has also been invited by many film festivals to serve as a jury member.
In 2010, he became a jury member for his debut at the 67th Venice International Film Festival. In 2011, he was chairman of the jury at the 13th Taipei Film Festival.
He seems to have been giving young people opportunities, which may be one of the reasons for his connections.
In the variety show "Teenagers Can Be Expected", co-produced by Lehua and Mango TV, Guan Jinpeng also used as a predecessor to guide the newborn idols.
He said: "As an actor, you can't cling to a role without your own ideas. And you need to experience life with your heart, find life experience similar to the role, and feel and understand the role with your own ideas. ”
"Director Please Advise" can invite Guan Jinpeng, and fresh directors may be one of the biggest attractions.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="286" > conclusion</h1>
Whether it is the piety when working with the predecessors, or the mutual achievements with the same period, or the promotion of the younger generations.
Regarding the place where Jinpeng is, there seems to be friends.
The famous British film critic Tony Wren called Guan Jinpeng "an angel who fell into the mortal world".
Indeed, his life was hot and pure, both loyal to himself and helpful.
He is a big coffee in the circle whose popularity is too good to be good.
Such a Guan Jinpeng, will you support?
