Character evaluation

Zhang Zhiliang has made various types of films, with success and failure. He is not a director with complete style, and his better works may not be reasonable enough, but he always has the heart and effort, so his poor works have some considerable points. "Ticket" is like this, the whole is not ideal, see the later part of the play meat is good (Shi Qi comments). Zhang Zhiliang, who is not very famous, is able to make a timely historical legend based on a set of Japanese comics with Andy Lau, whom many people may not like. This should make those mainland directors who have the ability to win big investment feel ashamed (Tencent Entertainment review). On the one hand, compared with the mainland "big directors" who clearly don't know martial arts but prefer to be domineering, Zhang Zhiliang seems to have less desire. Therefore, compared with his works, Zhang Zhiliang's works don't fall behind and are more sincere. On the other hand, he can't wait to preach a large-scale production of video, which is a typical example of his own scholarly spirit Reflect (Sina entertainment review).
