Director of Guangxi Film Studio. At the age of seventeen Wu Yinxun had a strong interest in literature, drama, music, and performance. After graduating from junior high school in 1949, he joined the Xiangtan Prefectural Party Committee to build a cultural troupe. In 1953, he transferred from Hunan to Beijing, and successively edited and commented on film publications at the "Popular Film" magazine and China Film Publishing House. Articles in movies, his articles do not follow the trend, have their own unique insights.

In 1979, Wu Yinxun was transferred to Guangxi Film Studio as a screenwriter and director. "It's Annoying" was the first film he directed. Due to lack of practical experience, lens processing, scene editing, film rhythm, and actor performance, etc., all seemed indifferent. After maturity, he directed other films such as "Gu Lost Oneself" and "Heart Spring". Although his director skills improved at this time, the film also became naturally smooth, but his personal style was not expressed. Recognizing this, he began to seriously look for scripts that fit his style. In 1982, when he saw the literary script of "Chunhui", he thought that he found a book that matched his style, so he worked with the screenwriter to research the film to avoid fancy and artificial carving. After the film was released, the audience Feeling that the film is very real, natural and simple, Wu Yinxun finally has his own artistic style. "Chunhui" has a high artistic mood, both elegant and popular, and won the 1982 Outstanding Film Award of the Ministry of Culture. In 1986, his style innovation appeared again in the film "Vagabonds and Swans".

吴荫循，原名吴声樾，1933年8月11日出生，湖南湘潭人，广西电影制片厂导演。

吴荫循十七、八岁时，就对文学、戏剧、音乐、表演等都有较浓的兴趣。1949年初中毕业后入湘潭地委建设文工团，1953年，他从湖南调到北京，先后在《大众电影》杂志社和中国电影出版社从事电影刊物的编辑和评论工作，写了很多电影评论和电影方面的文章，他的文章不随大流，有自己的独特见解。

1979年吴荫循调任广西电影制片厂，担任编剧、导演，《真是烦死人》是他导演的第一部影片，由于缺乏实践经验，镜头处理、场景剪接，影片节奏以及演员表演等，都显得不成熟，随后，他又导演了《顾此失彼》、《心泉》等影片，虽说这时他的导演技法有所提高，影片也拍得自然流畅了，但个人风格没有表现出来。认识到这一点后，他便开始认真寻找符合自己的风格的剧本。1982年，当他看到《春晖》的文学剧本时，他认为找到了与自己风格相符合的本子，于是他同编剧一起共同研究，力求影片避免花俏虚假和人工雕琢，影片公映后，观众感觉到影片十分真实，自然，朴素，吴荫循终于有了自己的艺术风格，《春晖》具有较高的艺术意境，雅俗共赏，获得了文化部1982年优秀影片奖。

吴荫循认为，导演要在艺术上创新，就要善于发现文学剧本中的新意，1986年，他的风格创新又再一次在影片《流浪汉与天鹅》中显现出来，《流》片描写了流浪汉“抹桌儿”的爱情故事，影片真实地表现了“抹桌儿”的被生活抛弃后性格受到扭曲的畸形心态和他内心深处的聪明才智及美好心灵。比较深刻地反映了改革，反映了生活，在影片中，吴荫循注意故事情节与生活环境的联系，把自然界的美与影片中人物的心灵美结合在一起，把人物，画面，景色，音乐巧妙地融为一体，使影片的抒情风格很好地展现在观众眼前，《流浪汉与天鹅》获得广播电影电视部1985年优秀影片奖，此后，他又导演了《强盗与黑天鹅》、《省城里的风流韵事》、《大漠双雄》等影片，都受到了较好的反映。

吴荫循除导演电影外，还先后任中国影协第五届理事，影协广西分会副主席等职务。
