Feng Xiaogang has directed some the New Year films. These films infiltrate post-modernism, blend marketplace culture and use the commercial aesthetics. They have a kind of unique audio-visual language. The content is based on real life. A lot of plots are to portray the lives of ordinary people, happiness or sadness. As far as we can see, the narrative structure is collage and the result is often a happy ending. Feng Xiaogang's New Year films have a certain value of significance, because they have broken the aesthetics of the fifth-generation of Chinese film. From then on, the basic style of the New Year film in the mainland of China has been established. The importance of these films is to reveal the real contradictions and to arouse the profound reflections in society. |
