"The Man Without a Name" won the Jury Prize at the 61st Venice International Film Festival, which sparked a heated discussion about Chen Hao in China.

Although it is not the highest Golden Lion Award at the film festival, the jury award is still a layer of gold plated for Chen Hao.

Chen Hao has just broken 100 million yuan with "District 9" and "The Man Without a Name", becoming the only two directors in China with 2 films with a box office of over 100 million, proving his strong box office appeal.

Now after the Cannes International Film Festival Jury Award, he has won the Silver Lion Award again, and the only Oscar Golden Man in China, these three awards are of great significance to Chen Hao's honorary status.

Even though Chen Hao has just passed his 24th birthday and has only been in the industry for 3 years, I believe that no one will doubt that Chen Hao has enough qualifications and strength to be on a par with the three major directors.

The four major directors have gradually become a fact recognized by the mainland film industry and the public, and even many people think that Chen Hao is enough to surpass Feng Dacang and rank third.

For this reason, the heated discussion about Chen Hao's "Man with No Name" winning the award gradually became crooked, and the media, the industry, brick family, and the Internet all set off a topic about the ranking of the four directors.

"National Teacher, Chen Kaige, Chen Hao, Feng Dacang, the four major directors in the mainland!" --- Sohu Entertainment reported

"Of the four major directors, what should Chen Hao rank in?" --- New Wolf Entertainment

"The national teacher is indisputable, who is more superior, Chen Kaige, Chen Hao, and Feng Dacang?" --- Netease Entertainment

......

The major media have obviously acquiesced to the fact that Chen Hao is on the same level as the three traditional directors, but how the four are ranked is debated, and the media, the Internet, and the brick family have given multiple versions.

Among them, the status of the national teacher is the most uncontroversial, and they are basically ranked first, and the main controversy is the ranking of the other three!

Among the many rankings, "Southern Metropolis", which once selected the Four Little Flowers in 2000, also gave its own ranking and received more recognition.

This ranking lists the achievements of the four current directors in terms of honors (only the international A-category film festival, the American Golden Globe and the Oscars, and the mainland three) and box office, and then gives a comprehensive ranking!

Advantages: The box office of the movie ranks in the top 3 of the year all year round.

Insufficient: Insufficient honor!

After a comprehensive comparison of the honors + box office of the four directors, there is no dispute that the national teacher ranks first, and Chen Kaige and Chen Hao are considered to be between the best!

Chen Kaige has a "Farewell My Concubine" to support, Chen Hao is inferior to him, but the box office is a complete explosion, Chen Kaige has the worst box office performance, but considering that he has no commercial film interviews, it is understandable.

Considering the qualifications again, Chen Kaige barely ranked second, and Chen Hao was third.

As for Feng Cannon, it was ranked last.

In fact, although Feng Dacang's hard honor is a lot worse, the box office performance is strong enough.

It can only be said that Feng Dacang, who became a monk halfway, is not very popular with the mainstream media compared with the three academics who were born in professional classes.

Of course, this ranking must still be controversial, not only do some brick media disagree, but one of the four directors is even more violent!
