I'm going to see "Building the Army" this afternoon, and I overheard a colleague talking about it. A said, which director directed "Building the Army"? "It's Liu Zhenwei, the director of A Chinese Odyssey." It suddenly occurred to me that there are so many people who can't tell Liu Weiqiang from Liu Zhenwei. It is understandable that the two of them should be confused. Both of them are famous directors in Hong Kong with similar names. The biggest difference should be their size.

Liu Weiqiang gradually changed from a photographer to a director. From 1985 to 1988, he worked as a photographer in Lin Lingdong's Dragon and Tiger Storm and Wong Kar-wai's Tears streaming down her face. Attracted by Wong Kar-wai, Liu Weiqiang won the nomination of "Best Photography" in the 8th Hong Kong Film Awards for the first time with "Tears Like Rain", which shows that's photographic strength is extraordinary. After that, he was nominated for "Best Photography" in 1 1 Hong Kong Film Awards for "500 million Detective Mayor My Lei Laohu". The third nomination is 1994 cooperation with Wong Kar-wai, which is a must-see for young artists. Three nominations have passed, and only Xiao Lizi can comfort him.

Liu Weiqiang began directing on 1990. His first work was Friends, starring Li Xiuxian and Nick Cheung. From 1995 to 1998, he co-produced a series of "Young and Dangerous" movies with Jing Wong and Wen Juan. Including "Jianghu Young Men", "Jianghu Young Men Crossing the River" and other famous works.

2002-2004 is the peak of Liu Weiqiang's career and the watershed of his directing style. His series Infernal Affairs with Mai Jiahui received rave reviews. Infernal Affairs, directed and photographed by him, won the Best Director Award at the 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards, and also won the Best Film Award. Still didn't get the best photo.

After that, Liu Weiqiang began to turn to commercial literary films. He made some popular movies, such as the initials d, daisies, injured cities and princes and showgirls. Fortunately, in 2007, he finally won the 26th Hong Kong Film Awards "Best Photography" for his film "Wounded City".

However, Liu Weiqiang also made mistakes, and the guillotine douban score of 20 12 was only 4.6.

Liu Weiqiang's works cover a wide range of genres, including gangster films, gangster films, literary films, romantic films, horror films, and third-class films. There are excellent works and bad films. But the only constant is the filmmakers' concern and interpretation of human nature, and a heart that continues to shine in the film industry.

Will you confuse Liu Weiqiang with Liu Zhenwei now?
