Feng is an ordinary guy of a somewhat heightened sort—he's brutally no-nonsense, unsentimental, funny and earthy to the point of raunchiness—who makes movies that are very much like their creator.
Feng's unapologetic portrayal of a consumer-obsessed, spiritually bereft China dismays Beijing's snobby culture mandarins: They prefer gilded, high-art films, and the fact that Feng's proletarian movies actually make money is seen as doubly galling.
Feng responds to such sniping by dislodging the offending bit of dinner from his teeth.

 Justbecomplex.com - A World Without Thieves   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
Unlike Feng Xiaogang's popular satirical comedies, A World Without Thieves is an idealistic motion picture mixing a commercial storyline with an unparalleled collection of pan-Asian actors, including Hong Kong superstar Andy Lau, Taiwanese singer-actor Rene Liu, Mainland star Ge Yu, Hong Kong actor Gordon Lam, and athletic Mainland actress Li Bing Bing.
Besides premiering successfully in Hong Kong, A World Without Thieves was a Mainland sensation, shattering box-office records and further establishing Feng Xiaogang as China's leading popular filmmaker.
Feng Xiaogang gets a little exaggerated with his characters' thieving prowess when grounded action could have worked just as well.

 SPLICEDwire | "Big Shot's Funeral" review (2003) Feng Xiaogang, Donald Sutherland, Paul Mazursky
Director and co-writer Feng Xiaogang displays a mordant, abstrusely whimsical sense of humor as the movie's events become more and more an off-kilter commentary on skewed entertainment industry values.
But "Big Shot's Funeral" is handicapped by the plot's lack of momentum and by what must be Feng's lack of experience with the English language.
Ge, who speaks no English in the film, is subtly superb as the unassuming cameraman who sees his obligation to Sutherland swallowed up in an ocean of hype he helped create.

 Feng Xiaogang's blockbuster stirs mistrust between couples
This new year's movie, quite unlike the past when new year celebration movie (hesuipian) usually brought hearty laughter to moviegoers, offers a seemingly merrymaking buffet "Cell Phone", a movie that, like the design of its poster + a hand grenade, has triggered quarrels and mistrust between couples.
The movie, produced by veteran "hesuipian" director Feng Xiaogang, tells how cell phone + the modern technology affects people's traditional life by portraying a love triangle between a successful middle-aged TV talk show host, his wife (later divorced), his girlfriend and his lover.
Perhaps the humorous new year movie master Feng's remark is the best way to let go people's anger.
