职业生涯
Career

冯小刚1958年8月出生于北京，自幼喜爱美术和文学，高中毕业后进入北京军区文工团，担任舞美设计，后参军，1984年转业，进入北京城市建设开发总公司担任工会文体干事，1985年调入北京电视艺术中心成为高级美工师，80年代后期经好友葛优介绍参加上海电影节，从此正式开始其电影人生涯。
Feng was born in Beijing in August 1958. He has been interested in art and literature since he was a child. After graduating from high school, Feng worked in the Art Troupe of Beijing Military Command as a stage designer. Later he joined the army. In 1984 he was transferred to the trade union of the Beijing Urban Construction and Development Corporation, where he worked as a secretary in charge of recreational activities. In 1985 he was transferred to the Beijing TV Art Center where he was promoted to an art director. In the late 1980s he was introduced by his friend Ge You to the Shanghai Film Festival, where he formally began his film-making career.

1991年的《遭遇激情》是冯小刚编导的第一部影片，荣获中国电影金鸡奖最佳编剧奖等四个奖项提名。2001年的《大腕》荣获中国电影百花奖最佳影片奖。2001年的《一声叹息》荣获开罗国际电影节最佳影片奖。2007年的《集结号》荣获中国电影金鸡奖最佳影片奖。2011年的《唐山大地震》荣获亚洲电影节最佳视觉效果奖、最高票房导演奖、最佳女演员奖三项大奖。
The first film Feng wrote and directed was "Unexpected Passion" in 1991. It had four nominations at the China Golden Rooster Awards, the most revered awards in Chinese films. In 2001, his movie "Big Shot's Funeral" won Best Film at the Hundred-Flowers Awards, a prestigious award chosen by audiences, while "A Sigh" took home Best Film at the Cairo International Film Festival. Feng won a Golden Rooster award for Best Director for his 2007 film "The Assembly." One of his latest films, "Aftershock" took home three awards at the 2011 Asian Film Festival, for Best Visual Effects, Highest Box Office and Best Actress.

冯小刚的贺岁影片近年来已经成为一个品牌。1997年的《甲方乙方》、1998年的《不见不散》、1999年的《没完没了》、2001年的《大腕》、2004年的《天下无贼》、2008年的《非诚勿扰》、2010年的《非诚勿扰2》使他成为中国大陆最多产的电影导演。《非诚勿扰2》更是破了中国电影6亿票房的记录，使他成为中国商业电影"票房之王"。业内人士称，冯小刚为中国民族电影的商业化蹚出了一条出路，给疲软的中国电影市场注入了活力。
Feng's New Year celebration films have become a brand name in the past years. "The Dream Factory" (1997), "Be There or Be Square" (1998), "Sorry Baby" (1999), "Big Shot's Funeral" (2001), "A World Without Thieves" (2004), "If You Are the One" (2008), and "If You Are the One II" (2010) have made him the most prolific director in Chinese mainland. "If You Are the One II," which brought in 600 million yuan at the box office, established him as the king of the Chinese box office. Critics have said that Feng has found a way for the commercialization of national cinema and injected vitality into a sluggish Chinese film market.

冯小刚的作品诙谐幽默。 他尤其以京味儿十足的调侃式喜剧著称，代表作是1991年的《编辑部的故事》，作品问世后使其成为中国家喻户晓的、最受欢迎的电视连续剧编剧。甚至有评论称，冯小刚的创作精神和雄厚实力在相当长的一段时期内将引领中国内地主流电影和电视剧的走向。
Feng's writing style is humorous and full of wit. He is particularly celebrated for his comedies written in Beijing vernacular about Beijing people and their ways and customs, especially in the TV series "Stories From the Editorial Board" in 1991, which catapulted him to fame. Critics say Feng's creativity and strong financial resources are a trend for mainstream Chinese film and TV culture.
