On March 8, 2013, "run wild, women" was released worldwide in more than 30 countries including China, North America and Southeast Asia.
On February 18, 2016, Dong, Chen Zhongshi, a famous Chinese writer, and Lu Xun, a famous screenwriter, hit it off and decided to remake the film version of White Deer Plain. It is reported that this is the last time Chen Zhongshi granted the film copyright of "White Deer Plain" before he died. Recalling the last meeting with Mr. Chen Zhongshi, Dong Dong said that the house full of books and Mr. Chen's auspicious wisdom were admirable. We spoke softly, because Mr. Chen's pronunciation was low at that time because of illness. Director Dong Dong also revealed that "Mr. Chen hopes to remake the film" White Deer Plain "to show the world the manly spirit of Guanzhong people.".
On November 8, 2016, Dong Dong's comedy movie "money fans" held a launch conference in Beijing. It was starred by Liu Xiaolingtong, the actor of monkey king in the 86 version of journey to the west, and Ma Dehua, the actor of pig Bajie, Liu Dagang, the actor of Sha Seng, and Wang Yue, the actor of Tang Seng. It is reported that this is the first time that the "four masters and apprentices" reunited on the big screen after "journey to the west".
On April 10, 2017, Shaanxi daily and Xi'an daily revealed that "two months before his death, Mr. Chen Zhongshi, a famous Chinese writer, authorized the novel" White Deer Plain "to shoot a film for the last time." Dong Dong led the film crew to prepare for the scene selection in Xi'an.
In 2017, he directed and filmed the second story of the movie "money fans" and once again gathered the "four masters and apprentices" of Liu Xiaolingtong, Ma Dehua, Liu Dagang and Wang Yue in Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province.
Artistic concept
1. Playing "little tricks" in creation will be abandoned
The commercialization of Chinese films has developed to extremes by all means. In order to arouse the desire of the audience, the films stimulate people's eyes with color, and are full of murderous and violent beauties who act as seductive beauties. All kinds of money burning but meaningless scenes are piled up. But do these viewers really love watching. Domestic blockbusters that rely solely on gimmicks to prop up a play have lost their box office appeal. Those who distort the universal values will eventually be eliminated by the market when the audience's aesthetic gradually returns to normal. If you flatter the audience too much, it will be kicked away by the audience. If a film works over playing high technology, deliberately playing traditional plots, and over emphasizing tastes, including using big stars and large traffic, sooner or later the audience will see through your little trick of flattering and turn around and abandon it.
2. Good movies should undertake the mission of Education
Film is a kind of art with social guidance and educational function. It is an art to spread human nature, thought and morality to the audience in the visual form of film, sound and painting. The effect of watching a movie is different from that of reading a book. For example, when we were young, we recited Tang poetry and Song Ci, maybe we recited them very well. However, if we recite it 10 years later, we may not remember anything. However, if we watched a film when we were young, we might remember it all our lives. This is the difference between images and words.
3. A successful director must first be a thinker
Most successful directors have a state of mind beyond ordinary people. I object to the saying that "film is entertainment product". If a film blindly caters to the interests of the audience, it will lose its significance. A real film is a bright light for the audience on the road of life.
4. Film commercialization is an eternal topic
Only by commercial operation can the film and television industry develop forever. Film is a special product with both artistry and commerciality. It is an important part of the cultural and creative industry. With the continuous improvement of people's material living standards, the spiritual demand is also increasing. China's economic industry has begun to transform to the service industry and high value-added cultural and creative direction. We have a population of 1.4 billion and the world's largest consumer market. Movies are world products. A good work can be paid by billions of people around the world. Therefore, commercial operation is an eternal topic for filmmakers.

Character evaluation
Netease Entertainment: "fault or scarce resources, there are only ten young female directors in the mainland." it is mentioned in the article that "Dong Dong is a special one among female directors, even among young directors. His first directing work did not choose to shoot love movies, literary films and other types of films according to women's nature like other directors. Instead, he chose adventure themes that few domestic directors touched, Since then, Dong Dong has been a "man" to gather the four masters and apprentices of the 86 edition of journey to the west, such as liuxiaolingtong, for the first time on the big screen to shoot the family comedy "money fans". It is also reported that Dong Dong will work with reed, China's first screenwriter, to remake Mr. Chen Zhongshi's long works. He is also very "man" and has no idea.
