One of China's most famous filmmakers, Feng Xiaogang, has been named as one of the “Asian Stars of 2004” by American magazine “Business Week”. The magazine has given this prize to 25 celebrities each year since 1998 in recognition of those who are at the cutting edge of their professions in Asia. Feng Xiaogang, fresh from the success of his new film “A World without Thieves,” first gained international fame with films such as “Big Shot's Funeral” and “A Sigh.” However, it was last year's blockbuster “Cell Phone” which promoted him into the world league of filmmakers.
