The relationship between Zhao Xiaoding and Zhang Yimou

Zhao Xiaoding and Zhang Yimou have a cooperative relationship.

In 2000, Zhao Xiaoding and Zhang Yimou cooperated for the first time to shoot the propaganda film "New Beijing, Great Olympics" for Beijing's Olympic bid. 200 1 Zhao Xiaoding is the photographer of Zhang Yimou's martial arts film Hero, and Du Kefeng cooperates with him.

Hero makes the morality, chic and oriental beauty of classical martial arts an insurmountable situation. The empty mirror of the opening cavalry, the flowing clouds, the water drops in the chess house and these artistic scenes greatly add room for expansion and imagination to the story in the image. After Hero, in 2003, Zhang Yimou directed House of Flying Daggers, in which Zhao Xiaoding was the only photographer. With this film, he won the best photography award of the 39th American Film Critics Association.

Zhao Xiaoding's attitude towards photography.

Zhao Xiaoding once said that you can dabble in any kind of film as long as you can shoot it. He thinks that every movie has different aesthetic characteristics and modeling characteristics. In fact, you can accumulate a lot of technical things. Photography is a bit by bit accumulation, without sudden feeling or epiphany. All the tricks that can be used by me are gradually accumulated, and it is this accumulation that enables me to cope with various themes, scenes and handling methods, and thus converge into a river bit by bit.

Learning is the best way to broaden your horizons. In the past, when you became a photography director, you probably relied more on the way the master took the apprentice, but now it may be different. The whole social form is changing, and many channels can replace Master's method of bringing disciples. Teacher Zhao Xiaoding still believes that no matter what form, photographers should constantly enrich their majors and learn skills.
