PS: The previous article has been revised. Regarding the character of the protagonist, I wanted to make it more reasonable, so I ignored issues of character and personality. It has been modified now, please go back and take a look again. In addition, there are a lot of things going on these two days, so updates are not stable. I will try my best to update three times a day. If the quality deteriorates, please tell me in the book review and I will revise it. Excuse me! The next day, Wan Xiaohu was interviewed by reporters in the rooftop studio of Royal Fort. More than 20 media including "New Press", "Oriental Newspaper", "East Weekly", "Ming Pao", "Movie Fortnight", "Oriental Daily News", "Sing Tao Daily", "South China Morning Post", etc. The studio was packed. Holding two microphones in his hands, Wan Xiaohu sat on a chair and talked. Just last night in the middle of the night, Zeng Zhiwei called to express his gratitude to Wan Xiaohu, and someone had already come to apologize. The next step is to make a show, and this matter can be dropped. So Wan Xiaohu pretended to be ignorant and accepted the interview. "I have been in Hong Kong for a long time. Last year, "The Butterfly Effect" came to Hong Kong to promote, "My Sassy Girl" also came here to promote, and now I have started filming "Infernal Affairs" I am very interested in Hong Kong. The impression is very good. The people are happy and the public security is good. It is indeed an international metropolis." "So Director Wan, what do you think of the gangsters in Hong Kong beating people before?" "Zeng Zhiwei is a good friend of mine. This time, I was beaten. I strongly condemn the attacker and hope that the Hong Kong police can solve the case as soon as possible and give us an explanation. However, I am not sure whether it is a gangster beating. I have been in Hong Kong for so long and I have never encountered this phenomenon. " "What do you think of Hong Kong's gangster society?" "When I was a child, I watched a lot of Hong Kong movies. I felt that there were many gangsters in Hong Kong. I was also very passionate about watching "Young and Dangerous". But now I come here to see it in person. Only then do I realize that movies are movies. Reality Let¡¯s face it, we can¡¯t confuse it with anything. Wherever I looked, I didn¡¯t find any gangsters. After filming for so long, no one came to collect protection money.¡± ¡°There are rumors that the beater was sent by Yang Shoucheng for Joey Yung¡¯s benefit. Come forward. Do you agree with this statement? " "To be honest, I don't know what the facts are. I don't know Yang Shoucheng and Joey Yung, so I don't want to make any judgments based on the facts provided by the police. I hope. The police will solve the case as soon as possible. " Wan Xiaohu mainly played down his gangster remarks today. As for who the attacker was. Zeng Zhiwei didn't tell him, and he wasn't interested in knowing. Anyway, someone would definitely go to the bureau to take responsibility. After erasing his identification of the underworld, the interview began to turn to "Infernal Affairs". "Director Wan, is there anything different about cooperating with Hong Kong filmmakers to shoot movies compared to mainland China?" "Yes. Hong Kong's film industry is very developed, and a lot of my experience in filming comes from my experience in filming. This is something I have never seen when filming in the Mainland. Moreover, people here speak Cantonese, with some English words mixed in. Sometimes there will be some communication barriers. The Hong Kong actors are very dedicated and the staff are excellent. " "You think Hong Kong movies are in decline now? In what direction can we break out of the predicament? The film market is in a slump this year. What prompted you to invest so much? " "I am optimistic about this movie. Some movies will make you unable to bear it. I am impulsive. As for the future of Hong Kong films, I don¡¯t know how to solve it, but I think co-production will be a trend. Hong Kong has experience and the mainland has resources. "Many Hong Kong people have already flocked to the mainland. If this continues, the loss of Hong Kong film talent will be serious. Now the mainland is about to join the WTO and will further open up the film market to Hong Kong. This is intentional. What are the steps to annex Hong Kong movies? " "I don't know why you think the mainland market is annexing Hong Kong movies. Everyone makes Chinese-language movies and all speak Chinese. There should not be a region to distinguish Hong Kong movies. , Taiwanese movies, and mainland movies. Just like Hollywood movies are now entering the mainland and seeking co-production opportunities, the acceleration of world integration will always change some inherent situations. " "But Hong Kong movies were once popular all over the world. , has made the greatest contribution to Chinese-language films. This kind of tradition should be fully preserved by Hong Kong people, right? " "I think you have fallen into a misunderstanding. Taking Hollywood as an example, Hollywood movies are not shot in Hollywood. Most of the major film companies have moved away from Hollywood. Because Hollywood's resources are limited, they have gone outside to receive better resources, but the movies they produce are still Hollywood.Shadow. " Wan Xiaohu bowed, changed his posture, and continued to talk: "Personally, I think Hong Kong movies can also imitate the Hollywood model and embrace the future with a more open attitude. I came here to shoot "Infernal Affairs" before, and many reporters asked me whether a movie made by a mainland director could still be regarded as a Hong Kong movie. I was very surprised. Hollywood directors come from almost all over the world, and no one said that this was not a Hollywood movie. Movies made according to the Hollywood model are all Hollywood movies, and naturally movies made according to the Hong Kong movie model are Hong Kong movies. There is almost no need to question such a question, but the reality is that many people question it. I was a little confused at the beginning and felt that the Hong Kong film industry was a bit xenophobic. " "Director Wan, do you think Hong Kong movies can take off again and compete with Hollywood? " "It's hard to say, we have to admit that now Hollywood movies have basically conquered all markets. In the past, Southeast Asia and other places were the markets for Hong Kong films, but now they are all taken over by Hollywood. However, Hong Kong films also have opportunities. Now, no more than before, Hong Kong and the mainland will become more and more open, which means that a market of more than one billion people will be open to Hong Kong films. With such a big market, as long as you work hard, there is great potential. " "But the mainland is so poor and piracy is so fierce that the audience is unwilling to enter the cinema. " "Should we look further ahead? Piracy is indeed hateful, but as long as everyone finds a way, we can always attract audiences into the cinema. Also, mainland China is no longer poor. With the current level of economic growth, a wealthy life is just around the corner. Moreover, you should go to the mainland and visit the capital and the magical capital, especially the magical capital. I went to Shuijiazui, the magical capital, last year. I stood on the roof and looked out. I was shocked. It was so spectacular. There are endless buildings one after another, and many are under construction. The whole place makes me feel as if I have arrived in the future world. The urban feeling is too strong. " "Except for a few cities such as Beijing and Shanghai, the mainland is still very poor. We have been to the mainland. There are very few cinemas, and audiences rarely go to them, only once every five years on average. "The Hong Kong reporter said with a hint of contempt. Wan Xiaohu paused. The reporter despised his words. He despised the reporter even more: "You are looking at the problem with prejudice. Now that mainland audiences have money, they are willing to go to the cinema. "Titanic" in 1998 earned a box office of 350 million yuan. Where does the money come from? Just tell me, "My Sassy Girl" also made 78.6 million yuan at the box office during its release. This shows that the mainland¡¯s film market is getting better and better. The government is also vigorously supporting the film industry, and glory is only a matter of time. Hollywood has a very good vision. If Hong Kong movies are not prepared in advance, the opportunity will be snatched away by Hollywood. ¡± In fact, Wan Xiaohu has always been very opposed to the concept of Hong Kong movies and mainland movies. Movies are already far behind others, so they have to make trouble and create three types of movies: Hong Kong, Mainland, and Taiwan. Seriously, we should stick together. . Against Hollywood. Before Wan Xiaohu¡¯s rebirth, Chinese-language films were surpassed by Indian films and Korean films. Of course, if China has a population of more than one billion, there is no need to develop the market. Taking into account the foreign market, the key point is that it cannot maintain its own market. Once Hollywood comes, it will be impossible to survive without the protection of domestic films. It is a bit ridiculous to say that the development time of mainland commercial films is short. It¡¯s understandable, but after so many years of development, it¡¯s unreasonable for Hong Kong and Taiwanese films to still be at this level. Even when they know that the mainland is providing resources, Hong Kong and Taiwanese films are still unwilling to take it, and the political coercion is a bit excessive. Only focusing on his own little land, he is afraid of being assimilated by mainland movies. This kind of prejudice is terrible. Taking advantage of this opportunity of being interviewed by so many media, Wan Xiaohu tried his best to deceive the mainland. To build a bridge with Hong Kong and work together to make Chinese-language films better and stronger, there are also some selfish motives. Talents in Hong Kong are rare, and there will be many good films in the future. He hopes that the two parties will not cooperate closely in advance. How can I swallow it? After two days, the interview was over and the reporters were sent away. Wan Xiaohu walked out of the studio and looked at the sky. The light of the sun was slightly weakened. The weather was in mid-September. Great. ¡°Director, when will we start filming? "Lu Jianqing came over and asked. "Has everyone had a rest? " "You must have had a good rest in two hours. " "Then let them get ready, starting in ten minutes. " "OK. ¡± Stretching out, Wan Xiaohu looked at SuoPut everything out of your mind and devote yourself to the great cause of photography. Today's scene is the rooftop duel scene that was shot when the movie was first started. Wan Xiaohu has been preparing for this day for a long time. If he can conquer this scene, nothing can stop him in "Infernal Affairs". "God Aker!" Liang Chaowei and Andy Lau took their positions, and the camera broke out in silence. "Give me a chance." "How to give you a chance?" "I had no choice before. Now I want to be a good person." "Okay, go tell the judge and see if he will let you be a good person." "That's it. "You want me to die?" "I'm sorry, I'm a policeman." "Kah, perfect!" Wan Xiaohu shouted and looked at the sky. Three hours had passed. Before the sunset, the lens was finally perfectly included in the film. The most "gaochao" scene was completed on this exceptionally empty rooftop. "Infernal Affairs" will be even more classic. All that needs to be done now is to polish the details, finish filming, and wait for the moment when it will soar into the sky! Time flies like a flying arrow, and years are like running water, gone and never returned. The busy Wan Xiaohu had already cut off contact with the outside world. It was not until another incident got entangled that he had to step out of the filming state. From October 18th to 22nd, 2001, the 10th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival was held in Boning. The 21st China Film Golden Rooster Awards and the 24th China Film Hundred Flowers Awards were held and awards were given as scheduled. Wan Xiaohu will take "My Sassy Girl" to the awards to see if he can win another honor. At the same time, Ning Hao will also bring "Crazy Stone" to promote it, hoping to win several awards.
