　　Recently, Professor Suo Yabin of the Communication University of China was invited to be guest on the CCTV-6 film channel "Today's Film Review" program, "to bring goods" for the two new films "Rock Solid" and "On the Cliff" to be released by Zhang Yimou.

　　On April 2, director Zhang Yimou spent his 70th birthday. This representative figure of the fifth-generation director born in 1950, has just completed two new films, "Rock Solid" and "On the Cliff", as well as the movie "One Second" to be released.

　　Like Zhang Yimou, the Chinese film industry is currently active with a large group of directors around the age of 70. The "front wave" of these Chinese-language movies is old and productive, and still escorts a large number of first-line movies, or directs new works in person.

　　Director Xu Ke, born in 1950 and 70 years old, has been at the forefront of Chinese-language movies. In 2010, Xu Ke directed "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire" at the age of 60, and won the best director of the Golden Award. In the following years, Xu Ke successively directed "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", "Direnjie's God Dragon King" and "Outsmarting Tiger Mountain 3D". Among them, "Wisdom Tiger Mountain 3D" won Xu Ke the 35th Hong Kong Film Awards and the 30th China Film Golden Rooster Award for Best Director. In the past three years, Xu Ke also directed "The Journey to the West" and "The Four Kings of Di Renjie". Last year he produced "The Climber". It should be said that the films directed and produced by Xu Ke after the age of 60 are the first-line works of word-of-mouth and box office in the past 10 years.

　　The project that Xu Ke is currently working on should be the film "Famen Temple Code" which was started in 2013 and launched in 2016. It is a suspenseful martial arts film with the story background of the late Tang Dynasty. Wait.

　　Earlier this month, the 39th Hong Kong Golden Awards were presented online, and 75-year-old Yuan Heping won the Best Motion Design Award for his hit movie "Ye Wen 4 Ending" released at the end of 2019. In the past five years, Yuan Heping has won the 10th Asian Film Lifetime Achievement Award, the 18th New York Asian Film Festival Lifetime Achievement Award, and the 5th Jackie Chan International Action Film Weekly Life Award.

　　Generally speaking, artists who have won the Lifetime Achievement Award are basically saying goodbye to first-line art creation, and Yuan Heping has been active in the first line. "Ye Wen 4" is a movie designed and produced by Yuan Heping in 2018. At that time, Yuan Heping, known as the "Eight Lord", was 73 years old. At present, Yuan Heping still has at least five films to be screened, including directing "Drawing the Bad Guys", directing the action comedy "Practitioner" and directing the action movie "Old Guys", co-directing "Seven Band", directing "Shushan: Dark Dawn etc.

　　In 2016, Wu Yusen shot the action film "Hunting" at the age of 70. At that time, 43 years had passed since Wu Yusen directed the first film "Traveler" in 1973.

　　Wu Yusen's latest work is to work with Universal Pictures to remake his 1989 classic action film "Blood and Blood". This movie is "tailor-made" for the "Black Panther" actress Lupita Nyong'ao. She will play the role of the old version of Zhou Runfa.

　　On May 23, the famous director Xu Anhua ushered in his 73rd birthday. Zhao Wei, who had collaborated with Xu Anhua in "Aunt's Postmodern Life" and "Jade Guanyin", published a photo of Xu Anhua blowing candles on the social platform, and Send birthday wishes. Because there have been new works coming out in recent years, it is difficult for the audience to notice that director Xu Anhua is already in his 70s. The latest film directed by Xu Anhua is the 2016 epic literary action action blockbuster "When the Moon Comes", she won the Best Director Award at the 37th Hong Kong Film Awards for her film. In 2019, Xu Anhua and Zhu Jiayi co-produced the movie "The Taste of Pepper" directed by Mai Xiyin.

　　As one of the representative figures of China's fifth-generation director, director Chen Kaige, born in 1952 and 68 years old this year, is still in the peak of his creative work in recent years. In 2019 alone, Chen Kaige directed two films, "Flowers in the Dust" and "My Country and My Country." At the same time, he also appeared in variety shows and participated in popular variety shows such as "The Birth of the Actors".
