| | Wang Xiaoshuai |
 | | Wang Xiaoshuai is one of the prominent figures, together with Zhang Yuan, Jia Zhangke, Zhang Ming, and others, of what is now widely referred to as China's “Sixth Generation” or “Urban Generation” directors. |
| | Frozen is based on a similar performance staged in Beijing, and was released to international festivals under the pseudonym Wu Ming (Anonymous), because at the time Wang was working on his third feature, So Close to Paradise, which for the first time in Wang's career was produced through the state film studio system. |
| | This is not unique to Wang (Jia Zhangke for example uses his hometown in Shanxi province as the setting for his film Xiao Wu), but Wang not only uses the familiar urban setting, he also inserts his own personal recollections of this setting and the people in it. |
