Chapter 348 Ranking of the Four Directors
"A Man Without a Surname" won the Grand Jury Prize at the 61st Venice International Film Festival, sparking heated discussions about Chen Hao in China.

Although it is not the highest Golden Lion award at the film festival, the jury award still gave Chen Hao a layer of gold.

Chen Hao has just become the only director in China with 2 films with a box office of over [-] million by virtue of "The Ninth District" and "The Man Without a Surname", which proved his strong box office appeal.

Now, after the Jury Prize at the Cannes International Film Festival, he won the Silver Lion Award again, and the only Oscar statuette in China. These three awards are of great significance to the blessing of Chen Hao's honorary status.

Even though Chen Hao has just passed his 24th birthday and has only been in the industry for 3 years, I believe no one will doubt that Chen Hao has the qualifications and strength to be on par with the three major directors.

The four major directors have gradually become a fact recognized by the mainland film industry and the public, and many people even think that Chen Hao is enough to surpass Feng Dapao and rank third.

For this reason, the hot discussion about the award of Chen Hao's "No Surname" gradually became distorted, and the media, industry, experts, and the Internet all raised topics about the ranking of the four directors.

"Guo Shi, Chen Kaige, Chen Hao, Feng Dapao, the four major mainland directors!" --- Sohu Entertainment Report
"Which of the four major directors should Chen Hao rank?" --- New Wolf Entertainment
"The national teacher is indisputable, who is more dominant, Chen Kaige, Chen Hao, or Feng Dapao?" --- Netease Entertainment
……

The major media have obviously acquiesced in the fact that Chen Hao is as famous as the traditional three major directors, but the ranking of the four is still debating endlessly. The media, the Internet, and experts have given multiple versions.

Among them, the status of the national teacher is the least controversial, and they are basically ranked first. The main controversy is the ranking of the other three!
Among the many rankings, "Southern Metropolis", which once selected the four female roles in 2000, also gave its own ranking and received more recognition.

This ranking lists the achievements of the four current directors in terms of honors (only counting the international A-category film festivals, the American Golden Globes and Oscars, and the top three in the Mainland) and box office, and then gives a comprehensive summary. rank!

After comparing the honors + box office of the four directors, it is undisputed that the National Teacher ranks first, and Chen Kaige and Chen Hao are considered equals!

Chen Kai has a "Farewell My Concubine" to support, Chen Hao is not as good as it, but the box office is a smash, Chen Kai is the worst box office performer, but considering that he has no commercial film interviews, it is understandable.

Considering seniority, Chen Kaige barely ranked second, and Chen Hao third.

As for Feng Dapao, he was ranked at the bottom.

In fact, although Feng Dapao's hard honor has fallen a lot, his box office performance is strong enough.

It can only be said that Feng Dapao, who became a monk halfway, is not very popular with the mainstream media compared with the three academics who came from majors.

Of course, this ranking is definitely still controversial. Not only did some brick-and-mortar media disagree, but one of the four directors was furious!
　Thanks for the 400 reward from "The Great Demon King"!
