Character evaluation

In driver, Zheng Baorui shows his fighting heart, follows the masculine lifeline of Hong Kong film with the inner tension of smooth narration, and shows his determination to fight (Tencent Entertainment review).

Instead of winning with dazzling and bloody scenes and visual effects, Zheng Baorui puts his energy on grasping the audience's psychology and creating an atmosphere, relying on the release of layers of plots to hit the audience's heart, which is the root of his success. Most of his films are thrillers. The themes of "big headed baby" and "hot blooded youth" are paranoid and cold-blooded, and the kind-hearted people often end up with failure or even death, which makes the audience feel the horror of despair (Sina entertainment review).
