Zhang Junzhao (; born 1952) is a Chinese film director and screenwriter who was mainly active in the 1980s.
 A graduate of the Beijing Film Academy and a contemporary of such acclaimed directors as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhang Junzhao was a prominent early member of China's Fifth Generation filmmakers.
 His 1984 film "One and Eight" ("Yi ge he ba ge") is well known as a film that marked the advent of the Fifth Generation, while "The Shining Arc" (弧光; "Hu guang", 1988) was nominated for the Golden St. George award at the 1989 Moscow International Film Festival.
Lloyd Francis Bacon (December 4, 1889 – November 15, 1955) was an American screen, stage and vaudeville actor and film director.
 As a director he made films in virtually all genres, including westerns, musicals, comedies, gangster films, and crime dramas.
 He was one of the directors at Warner Bros. in the 1930s who helped give that studio its reputation for gritty, fast-paced "torn from the headlines" action films.
Lü Yue () (born 1957) is a Chinese cinematographer and film director.
 Born in Tianjin, Lü is today among the most important cinematographers of recent Chinese cinema, and is particularly well known for his collaborations with director Zhang Yimou with whom he served as director of photography in three films.
 Lü was nominated for an Academy Award for best cinematographer for Zhang's film "Shanghai Triad".
 He has also served as cinematographer for other Fifth Generation directors such as Tian Zhuangzhuang (for 1985's "On the Hunting Ground") as well as for older directors, such as Huang Shuqin (for 1994's "A Soul Haunted by Painting").
 More recently he served as cinematographer for actress Joan Chen's directorial effort, "", a film in which he also played a small part as the titular character's father.
Zhang Yimou ( ; born 2 April 1950) is a Chinese film director, producer, writer and actor, and former cinematographer.
 He is counted amongst the Fifth Generation of Chinese filmmakers, having made his directorial debut in 1987 with "Red Sorghum".
A Simple Noodle Story (), internationally A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop.
 (Blood Simple in the UK) is a 2009 film directed by Zhang Yimou.
 It is inspired by "Blood Simple", the 1984 debut of the Coen brothers, whose films Zhang Yimou lists as among his favorites.
 The film transports the original film's plot from a town in Texas to a noodle shop in a small desert town in Gansu province.
Cao Baoping is a Chinese film director.
 He has emerged in recent years as a figure in China's "midrange" cinema industry.
 Some industry watchers, like "Variety", have situated directors like Cao between the older fifth generation directors, such as Chen Kaige or Zhang Yimou, who have achieved major international and box-office success, and the more "underground" sixth generation directors, like Jia Zhangke and Wang Xiaoshuai.
Hou Yong (; born 1960) is a Chinese filmmaker and cinematographer.
 He is perhaps best known for his collaboration with director Zhang Yimou, though he has worked with many of China's major directors.
 Like some of Zhang's other cinematographers (notably Lü Yue, whom Hou replaced), Hou has also moved into the directing world.
 In 2004, he directed "Jasmine Women" starring Zhang Ziyi.
Keep Cool () is a 1997 Chinese black comedy directed by Zhang Yimou and adapted from the novel "Evening Papers News" by Shu Ping.
 The film about a bookseller in love in 1990s Beijing, marked a move away from earlier period pictures of Zhang's earlier work to a more realistic Cinéma vérité-like period in his career that also saw him make "Happy Times" (2000) and "Not One Less" (1999).
 "Keep Cool" also marked only the second time Zhang placed his film in the modern era and the first time Zhang did not work with actress Gong Li.
To Live, also titled Lifetimes in some English versions, is a Chinese film directed by Zhang Yimou in 1994, starring Ge You, Gong Li, and produced by the Shanghai Film Studio and ERA International.
 It is based on the novel of the same name by Yu Hua.
 Having achieved international success with his previous films ("Ju Dou" and "Raise the Red Lantern"), director Zhang Yimou's "To Live" came with high expectations.
 It is the first Chinese film that had its foreign distribution rights pre-sold.
Zhang Jianya (, ] ) (born 1951) is a Chinese film director.
 As a graduate of the 1982 class of the Beijing Film Academy, Zhang is a founding member of the so-called Fifth Generation, a group that also includes in its numbers directors such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Tian Zhuangzhuang.
