Zhang Yimou was admitted to the North Film Photography Department at the age of 28. Why did he finally become a famous director?

I think it's because Zhang Yimou is very talented in directing, and he loves directors very much, and his photography ability is also very good, which is very helpful for him to find a position when filming. Moreover, Zhang Yimou is also a very successful actor, so his interpretation of the script will be very insightful, so Zhang Yimou will be more handy as a director, so Zhang Yimou will be very easy to succeed when he really becomes a director, and later he will become a famous director.

We all know that Zhang Yimou started as a photographer, but the shooting department of Beijing Film Academy is still very powerful. At that time, the Beijing Film Academy taught students very advanced shooting techniques and provided them with good learning conditions. Therefore, Zhang Yimou received a very professional study at the Beijing Film Academy and worked very hard at school, so he had a lot of experience in shooting.

Zhang Yimou's learning achievement can best be reflected in the filming of One and Eight, which made Zhang Yimou emerge. At the same time, many directors took a fancy to Zhang Yimou's tall and handsome image, so Zhang Yimou got the chance to participate in movies, such as Old Well, for which Zhang Yimou won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor and Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actor. Thus, Zhang Yimou still has his own opinions on the study of performance and script.

By this time, Zhang Yimou had become completely famous, so Zhang Yimou also had the opportunity to find investors to invest in his own films. Coupled with his love for directing films and excellent skills, his first film, Red Sorghum, was quickly filmed and released, and won the best film at the Berlin Film Festival. Since then, director Zhang Yimou's name has become louder and louder, Turner has won more awards, and Zhang Yimou has since become a famous director.
