Director Zhu Film Studies

Chu Yen-Ping is the strong representative of Taiwanese cinema, films directed by Chu Yen-Ping have some unique features. The character set of comedy is contrary. Some comedy character images are distinctive while others turn to be similar, and almost all of their feelings are empty. His comedies create funny bridges by parodying some classics, making jokes at others, breaking up audiences’expectation, playing around with languages, and so on. His tragic films prefer controlling narrative rhythm by incentive events and plot turning points, and pay much attention to friendship and kinship expression. His tragicomedy movies focus on beautiful love. Chu Yen-Ping sticks to the principle that commercial movie should be popular, that is comedies should be vulgar and others be easy to understand. At the same time, he takes so much notice of movie stars that he relies on them too much and finally the film development is limited. In addition, the movies, on the one hand, its repetition rate is very high, but on the other hand, its styles are very diverse.
