Wang Guangli
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This is a Chinese name; the family name is Wang.
Wang Guangli (Chinese: 王光利) (born November, 1966[1]), nicknamed "King Death"[2] is a Sixth Generation Chinese film director. A native of Sichuan, and originally a psychology professor, Wang eventually turned to film, making underground independent features that were often censored due to their political content.[2] In 2001, however Wang decided to obtain official state backing for his film Go For Broke, which despite its support from the Shanghai Film Studio, was limited in its release, even domestically, due to its use of the Shanghainese dialect.[2]
Wang has since shifted away from more serious works with the comedies Karmic Mahjong and 2007's Dangerous Games.
