Kong Lianshun

Kong Lianshun’s filmography? Yeah, it’s a mixed bag, but in the best way. You’ve got “Three-body” (2023), where sci-fi isn’t just a genre, it’s a playground. The story practically yanks you into this wild, brain-bending universe where physics has a panic attack and human nature gets tested at every turn. It’s all secret societies, mysterious signals from outer space, and people trying to save their necks (and the planet) while reality itself seems to unravel. The stakes are nuts, honestly. Nobody’s safe, and every character’s got some kind of hidden agenda or trauma bubbling just below the surface. Then there’s “Mei Ren Yu” (2016), which flips the script. It’s not your regular fairy tale—it’s a weird, hilarious, and sort of twisted love story between a mermaid and a greedy developer dude. There’s environmental chaos, wild chase scenes, and slapstick comedy, but underneath it all? It’s a jab at how people treat the planet, all wrapped up in neon colors and over-the-top humor. You’ll laugh, you’ll cringe, maybe even root for the fish girl. And don’t sleep on “Liao bu qi de nü hai” (2020). This one’s got that coming-of-age energy, but it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. It digs into the messy, awkward bits of growing up—friendships, heartbreak, figuring out who the heck you are. The characters make dumb choices (because, honestly, who didn’t?), and the story doesn’t shy away from the raw stuff. Kong Lianshun brings all this to life, jumping between genres like it’s no big deal, but always keeping things real and a little unpredictable.
