Character evaluation

Cheng Weihao is good at type control and atmosphere management, and he is very incisive in the film little girl in red. And he also has a good performance in the film "the pursuit of witnesses". Cheng Weihao himself is a person who gives a lot of space to actors. He will carefully consider the degree of delicacy in the performance that he thinks is more in line with the character's personality or the trend of the next story. Although he is very careful about the actors' play, the effect is very good. In the MV "girl in red", he is good at creating a ghost atmosphere, creating a set of stories integrating horror, horror and suspense. Against the backdrop of the treacherous and changeable music style, not only the content of horror is rising, but also the operation of the film specifications and the composition of visual aesthetics are more exquisite and advanced (Sina, Beijing Evening News, Xu Weining, public online review).
