Singer Han Hong appeared to campaign for Feng Xiaogang's movie "Catching Spies" ahead of its premiere. Her casual remark "just showing my face" triggered a public backlash, damaging her public persona and leading some netizens to cancel their monthly donations to the Han Hong Foundation.

68-year-old Feng Xiaogang appeared at the premiere of his film "Catching Spies", and singer Han Hong boosted ticket sales for the film on-site, sparking controversy online.

The list of members for the new session of the CPPCC National Committee in the culture and arts sector has been released, and Feng Xiaogang is no longer on the list.

Cui Yongyuan publicly attacked the film 'Cell Phone' and Feng Xiaogang, prompting the State Taxation Administration to launch an investigation, causing Huayi Brothers' stock price to plummet and shelving the 'Cell Phone 2' project.

Huayi Brothers acquired Dongyang Meila, a company held by Feng Xiaogang, with an attached five-year high net profit valuation adjustment mechanism (VAM) agreement.

At the meeting, Feng Xiaogang stated that film censorship is severely damaging and shackling creativity, and called for a return to the relaxed cultural and artistic policies of the 1980s.

Invested by Forbidden City Film Co., Ltd., the film became the box office champion of domestic films that year and pioneered the practice of directors receiving a share of the box office.

The Film Bureau issued an urgent document stating that the script took delight in improper relationships. Beijing Film Studio head Han Sanping announced the suspension of the film, resulting in huge economic losses.

Feng Xiaogang partnered with Wang Shuo to establish the Haomeng Company, and with Wang Shuo's help, he adapted and directed his first film, "Gone Forever with My Love".
