Zhengrong Wen

Zhengrong Wen’s name has been popping up everywhere lately, and honestly, it’s not hard to see why. The guy’s got his hands in some seriously wild projects. Take “Escape from the 21st Century” (2024), for example—that movie’s basically a fever dream of sci-fi chaos, with future tech colliding headfirst into human messiness. People are still debating whether the ending makes any sense or if it’s all just Wen’s way of saying, “Yeah, life’s messy, deal with it.” Then there’s “Yan hui shi” (2025), which basically does a 180 and dives into deep, raw drama. If you thought Wen would chill out after all the sci-fi mind-benders, nope—he leans in hard, serving up complicated relationships and emotional gut-punches. This one’s got more layers than an onion, and every character feels like they’re hiding something. You end up rooting for them, even when you probably shouldn’t. And don’t even get me started on “Yong ye xing he” (2024). This one’s all starry skies and existential dread, but somehow still manages to sneak in these moments of weird, unexpected hope. Wen’s got this knack for mixing big, cosmic ideas with totally relatable human stuff. One minute you’re lost in space, next you’re thinking about your own life choices. Basically, if you’re into movies that mess with your head and your heart, Zhengrong Wen’s filmography is where you wanna be.
