< p> Media evaluation

The sense of humor in Tsui Hark’s works comes from his childlike nature, but his ability to express the romance in love so well has a lot to do with his excellent art skills, especially It is in his ancient costume works, such as the oil painting of bamboo forests in the mountains in "Butterfly Lovers", the dazzling mountains and rivers in "Shu Mountain", and the dreamlike use of colors in "Green Snake". They all play a very important role in highlighting the protagonist's love process. In addition, the long-term musical support provided by Huang Zhan is also an important element.

Hong Kong New Wave , one-eighth or one-tenth should belong to Tsui Hark. Tsui Hark sought change at the right time.

Star Reviews

Tsui Hark is the most devilish director. The conditions in the filming environment are the worst, and it is also very cold, so it is also very hard, and he has to cooperate with 3D For the shooting effect, many actions had to be done continuously. It was really hard to shoot under the conditions of wind, sand, cement and corn flour. If I had another chance to choose, I would still take over Tsui Hark's film because he does everything very carefully. (Chen Kun review?) Tsui Hark

Tsui Hark's directing method is very different. He attaches great importance to early communication with the actors. When filming, he rarely speaks and gives the actors a lot of freedom. But his silence sometimes makes people confused. Tsui Hark is a person who jumps quickly in thinking, and he also has some special adjectives of his own. Sometimes he is like a child, very cute, but he also has his own persistence and stubbornness, and his way of expression is different from others. (Comments by Li Yuchun)

Tsui Hark understands me very well and is also my most tacit partner. The success of "A Better Tomorrow" is inseparable from Tsui Hark's help. It was Tsui Hark who supported him in the filming of "A Better Tomorrow" in front of investors at the time. He missed the relationship of the past very much, so he wanted to make another movie similar to "A Better Tomorrow", not a sequel. , but the same type?. (John Woo review)

Tsui Hark is a machine, constantly extracting the freshest traits from actors.
