Zhang Yibai

Zhang Yibai is a Chinese film director. Zhang began his career in television and music videos before directing his debut, ''Spring Subway'' in 2002.

Zhang, like many other modern Chinese directors, has focused primarily on life in modern Chinese cities. ''Spring Subway'', for example, follows its protagonist as he wanders through Beijing's system, while the mystery-thriller ''Curiosity Killed the Cat'' follows its characters through the central China boomtown of Chongqing .

Zhang's two most recent films, 2007's ''The Longest Night in Shanghai'' and 2008's ''Lost, Indulgence'' have seen the director's exposure and successes extending increasingly overseas. ''Longest Night'', starring Zhao Wei, constitutes one of the first China-Japan coproductions, while ''Lost'' was selected to premiere at New York City's Tribeca Film Festival in 2008.
