Directors

Father: Zhang Yimou

Daughter: Zhang Mo

As an iconic film director, Zhang Yimou brought audiences many classic films, including Red Sorghum (1987) and Raise the Red Lantern (1991). His films also shot several actors to overnight stardom , such as actresses Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi. His daughter, Zhang Mo, chose the same career as her father. From 2009, Zhang Mo has started to work with her father. And in 2016,  she saw her first directorial debut Suddenly Seventeen play on the big screen. However, Zhang Mo seems has a long way to go before becoming a director as outstanding as her father. The film only got 5.7 points out of 10 on Douban, one of the leading film and reading portals in China.
