Character evaluation

Peng Haoxiang is a naive person. He has made several blockbuster movies in succession. He should come to a work that does not try to please anyone, a work that can reveal his true nature. Every good director should be tested at least once.

Peng Haoxiang, who is known as "Hong Kong ghost director", has a very ghost style and fast shooting speed. In "little reunion in the world", Peng Haoxiang, who has always been a funny ghost horse, takes the affectionate route, but he still does not forget to add fantasy elements to it, such as the giant chameleon, stranded whale, paper city, etc. (Netease Entertainment review).

Peng Haoxiang has loved movies since he was a child, and his movie style belongs to the type of black humor and absurd drama. If someone wants to compare "ghost" with Peng Haoxiang, it may be difficult to win. He is meticulous to paranoid about movies. The fantastic ideas in his films do not lie in his "talent", nor in his high IQ. The most important thing is his careful observation of life.

Character controversy

In May 2014, an original Facebook story about Peng Haoxiang abusing mainlanders was circulated on the Internet.

On February 26, 2015, some netizens posted a suspected remark that Peng Haoxiang insulted mainlanders on a social networking site, which once again caused disputes among netizens. On March 26, Peng Haoxiang published an article "cheating, it's against my bottom line" through his micro blog. With the help of his lawyer, he went to the Hong Kong police station to report the case and reported the case in Beijing, hoping to solve the incident thoroughly through legal channels.
