Character evaluation

No matter what criticism and misunderstanding Li Shaohong suffered, she resisted the pressure and did not change her original intention of pursuing art. It is precisely because of this attitude that her works are endowed with a kind of shocking charm and resonance. And she is strict with the actors, but also delicate care, won the respect and love of many actors. (CCTV online review)

Li Shaohong's works always emphasize connotation, but she never refuses business. Perhaps women's innate moderation and ability to reconcile are at work. Li Shaohong has never gone to the extremes of art or commerce. On the contrary, she has done better than her male classmates in the combination of art and commerce. Li Shaohong is not the right person to shoot Haiyan TV series, because she lacks the passion to create the fierce plot. What she likes is a kind of style, an atmosphere, a kind of beauty, a kind of sadness, which is her innate advantages and strengths as a female director. Li Shaohong's success lies in giving full play to herself. (review of Beijing Youth Weekly)

From Daming Palace Ci, orange is red, and then to the door, we can see Li Shaohong's preference and pursuit of movies. She is keen on dark themes, and likes to express some strange sentiment with stylized images. In her works, the more important is the picture, environment, atmosphere, charm, story and actor, but in a relatively secondary position. (review of Southern Metropolis Daily)
