Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the morning of the 18th, the press conference for the domestic new film exhibition was held grandly in the Beining District Party Committee Auditorium.  The directors of the sixteen participating films, including Xie Jin, Ding Mengnan, Zheng Dongtian, Xia Gang, Lu Xuechang including Wan Xiaohu, were all present.  Many of the main creative staff of various films also came.  The press conference has not yet started, which is a good time for reporters to interview.  Where Wan Xiaohu, Zhou Xun, and Chen Kun were sitting, many reporters crowded over, and their spears and cannons almost didn't fit into Wan Xiaohu's mouth.  "I would like to ask Zhou Xun, Yu Na, the character you played in "The Butterfly Effect", is said to have multiple identities. Is it too stressful for one person to play so many identities?" Zhou Xun replied with a smile: "It is stressful, but I am more happy.  Yes, it¡¯s a very meaningful experience to be able to play many different lives.¡± ¡°I would like to ask Chen Kun, is it stressful to star in a movie or a science fiction theme that has never been tried before?¡± Chen Kun replied cautiously:  "There will definitely be pressure, but we all have confidence in the script. Now that it has been filmed, we have even more confidence." Wan Xiaohu cleared his throat and said to himself that after asking Zhou Xun and Chen Kun, it was his turn to ask himself  .  As a result, the reporter put the microphone in front of Zhou Xun again: "Excuse me, Zhou Xun" After asking Zhou Xun and Chen Kun several questions, finally a reporter remembered Wan Xiaohu and handed the microphone: "Excuse me, Director Wan, as a student, how can I direct  Can such a rigorous subject matter as a science fiction movie really produce a good movie? Is the effect of the screening in Hong Kong just a matter of paying people to inflate it? " It was initially ignored and looked a bit unsightly, but this reporter spread the rumor again.  Wan Xiaohu suddenly lost the mood to accept the interview and started to laugh: "I don't need to be flattered when I make a movie. Why don't you wait until the new film meeting in the afternoon to ask if it is really good? I can only tell you that this is  A science fiction movie with rigorous structure, substantial content and smooth plot. "Director Wan seems to be very confident." "Confidence is an element that a director must have. Every movie costs hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions.  "Without the investment, there will be no director to make a movie." "Your first movie "Waiting Alone" had a box office of over 20 million. Do you think "Butterfly Waiting" can also exceed this figure? " "I hope the movie can achieve this."  Good results, this is an affirmation for all of us on the crew.¡± ¡°Can you make a prediction?¡± ¡°No one knows how much the movie will have at the box office.¡± Facing Wan Xiaohu, the reporter originally asked.  They also think that they are just a student, making a few lies and pouring news out like beans.  After waiting for a few questions, I saw that Wan Xiaohu's answers were really enthusiastic and he answered every question. But after careful examination, he didn't even come up with an answer.  The reporters were a little reluctant and wanted to compete for a while longer, but at this time, the judges of the Golden Rooster Awards, who had always been mysterious, appeared collectively at the press conference and immediately attracted all the attention.  With no reporters around, Wan Xiaohu calmed down and watched the excitement.  "Excuse me, it is unfair for Feng Xiaogang to bombard the Golden Rooster Award. Excluding "A Sigh" is dividing the fruits behind closed doors. Are the judges of the Golden Rooster Award really like this?" One judge shook his head: "How could it be? The Golden Rooster Award was awarded by 17  ""A Sigh" has already had a box office of 18 million, and the copies are also selling well, so why is it not nominated for the best feature film?"  ? Only one Xu Fan is the best supporting actress? " " Box office revenue cannot fully explain the problem. It depends on the investment. If you invest 10 million, you need to have a box office of 90 million in the mainland to make money. If you earn 18 million, you still have to lose money. Now the box office promotion  It's misleading." Judge He Qun explained.  Wan Xiaohu, who was watching the excitement outside, opened his mouth: "Isn't the level of this question too low? If you invest 10 million, you can make money at the box office with 30 million. The investor takes 30% to 35% of the box office.  It's all clearly stated in the contract. If you really need to invest 10 million and 90 million to get your money back, how dare you invest in a movie? Is this really our expert?  How can you say something like this if you are a professional? " Wan Xiaohu finally understood why the commercialization of Chinese films is so difficult. It is not easy to survive with such experts holding the right to speak in the film industry.  "May I ask the judges of the Golden Rooster Awards, why do you think "A Sigh" cannot be nominated?" Or He Qun replied: "The judges have their own preferences and evaluation standards. Personally, I don't like this movie. I don't like it. I  I just don¡¯t like it.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this really biased? Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan took turns criticizing the Golden Rooster Award, must they be filled with complaints?¡± the reporter asked. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?He said with a straight face: "Feng Xiaogang is using the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards to hype up the fact that "A Sigh" was not nominated. This kind of hype is not high-level. Feng Xiaogang is a little overconfident or inferior." As soon as these words came out.  , the reporters suddenly had an uproar.  Even Wan Xiaohu felt puzzled and turned to ask Zhou Xun: "He Qun is the director of Dongguang Pearl River Film. Didn't he say that he is very familiar with Feng Xiaogang? Are you trying to beat Feng Xiaogang to death?" "Who is responsible for this dirty thing in the film industry?  I know." Zhou Xun just fiddled with his phone.  Just when Wan Xiaohu was sighing with emotion, He Qun simply lit a cigarette and started talking loudly: "Every director has to make a lot of movies, and his level of skill has to be different. It is normal that he was not shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award. Although the actors in "A Sigh" performed well  , the director handled it very smartly, but overall I couldn't move me. Many famous works are very sincere when writing about emotions, such as "Jane Eyre", the French "Heartfire", etc., and "A Sigh" is also an emotional story.  , but the people inside live a very trivial and insincere life.¡± After taking a puff of cigarette, He Qun continued: ¡°Feng Xiaogang is a director who is very good at publicity. His hype is greater than the film. He expressed these opinions before the results of the Golden Rooster Awards were announced.  It's a childish performance that seems to be very confident, but in fact it is inferiority complex. He has his own strengths and uniqueness. Maybe I am not as good as him in handling "A Sigh", but it is not qualified to be shortlisted for the Golden Rooster Award.  There is no need to be angry. He expressed his disdain for the Golden Rooster Award, but he was angry even though he was not nominated. His anger shows that he cares about this award, and whether the director has a professional background is not the reason why he was not nominated.  Yimou and Chen Guoxing did not graduate from directing majors, and Wan Xiaohu had not yet graduated. " The reporters went crazy. If there was no recording, they took out paper and pen. If there was a recording, they hurriedly checked the equipment to see if the recording was intact.  After Feng Xiaogang bombarded the Golden Rooster Awards, the Golden Rooster Awards finally fought back, and the moment they fought back, it was a devastating blow.  "Today's press conference is at the right time!" This sentence flashed in the minds of countless reporters.  He Qun is a judge of the Golden Rooster Award for the third time. His words can almost represent the Golden Rooster Award.  Wan Xiaohu can already predict that after today, Feng Xiaogang and the Golden Rooster Award will have to fight in the sky.  It is said that Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan, after not being nominated for the Golden Rooster Award, have decided to go to Cairo, Egypt, to participate in the Cairo Film Festival, vowing to come back with several awards and win the Golden Rooster Award.  By then, the excitement will be great.  Of course, this has nothing to do with Wan Xiaohu. Although he expresses sympathy for Feng Xiaogang, it is impossible to help him. After all, Wan Xiaohu is also a member of the academic team.  ¡°At most, I sigh, Chinese movies are difficult to make.  What should you do next? Keep on doing.  Soon, under the auspices of the host Ju Xue, the director and creative staff were invited to the stage one by one at the Domestic New Film Exhibition Meeting.  The reporters also sat in their seats obediently.  Wan Xiaohu also took Zhou Xun and Chen Kun to stand beside him.  The first person invited was the great director Zheng Dongtian who gave a speech with a sincere voice: "I know that even though some movies were made last year, they just couldn't be released. After being shown once today, they may never have the chance to be shown again But  I believe and firmly believe that the Chinese people need movies and China¡¯s own movies. Please give us, them, and more filmmakers a chance.¡± The applause was not enthusiastic, but Wan Xiaohu was applauding vigorously.  As one of the earliest directors from Nortel, Zheng Dongtian has been active in the Chinese film industry for decades and has cultivated countless outstanding filmmakers.  Compared to He Qun, who talks a lot about things, this gray-haired old man doesn't say much, but is concise and powerful. His heart is as passionate as ever in Chinese movies.  After Zheng Dongtian finished speaking, he is known as China's number one director and is known for directing films that conform to political trends. Xie Jin, director of Nortel's directing department, said: "Back then, Mr. He watched "Women's Basketball Team 5" and said to me, Xie Jin, you  This sports-themed film is good, so why not do a football one? I have been planning for thirty years to film "Women's Football No. 9". It is very hard for the athletes"  Zheng Dongtian is from the perspective of Chinese movies, and Xie Jin is from the perspective of an exhibitor, explaining his own movies.  As the director of Nortel's directing department, Xie Jin was hard for Wan Xiaohu to comment on, but he always felt that he was a level lower than Zheng Dongtian.  However, after Xie Jin's last words, Wan Xiaohu immediately threw this thought out of his mind.  "There are not many people at my age who are still making films, so please support me. At the same time, at this new film exhibition, there are also many young people's films, such as "A Very Summer" by Mr. Lu, Wang Xiaoshuai  Of course, the youngest director Wan Xiaohu and his "Butterfly Effect" are also indispensable.We must support you a lot!  ¡± Wow, Wan Xiaohu clapped his hands vigorously again. Director Xie is worthy of being a great realist director of the generation. What he said is very realistic, and he supports the younger generations, which is worthy of admiration. After Xie Jin finished speaking, the Domestic New Film Exhibition officially began to screen movies. The unveiling film  , naturally it was "Women's Football No. 9" brought by Xie Jin. After watching it, everyone kept applauding. Although the movie was so-so, similar to the one made in the 1980s, there was nothing interesting about it. After the show, all the directors wanted to go back.  Wan Xiaohu came over to invite Zheng Dongtian, Xie Jin and other veteran directors to attend his "Butterfly Effect" meeting in the afternoon. "In the afternoon, it's at Xiguang University, right?  Some time must pass.  "Zheng Dongtian said kindly. Whether to go or not is another matter, and whether to invite or not is another matter. After the directors invited them one by one, Wan Xiaohu returned to the hotel and waited for the afternoon meeting with peace of mind.
