'director's' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'largely elegant shot' is the wordplay.
'largely' means to remove the last letter (most but not all of the letters).
'shot' is an anagram indicator.
'elegant' with its final letter taken away is 'elegan'.
'elegan' is an anagram of 'ANG LEE'.
