    "So you were forced to take the director's position. It's not because you have plans to enter Hollywood, as is widely rumored, and then you passed." "No, no, I have always felt that I still have the ability now.  If you go to an unfamiliar film industry system to make a movie, your culture and thinking will definitely resist it. If you are not able to create movies with ease and your ability is not high enough to overcome these resistances, then you go  "There must be something wrong." "Many people say that you went to Hollywood to make movies because your self-confidence was inflated. It seems that you still have a clear understanding of yourself and have not inflated yourself because of your previous success."  It was very tense. All these conversations were not rehearsed. I just read the interview transcript before.  After a pause, Yang Lan changed the topic: "At the 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards held on April 6 this year, "Infernal Affairs" won seven awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Film Awards.  However, it is a pity that you were not able to reach the scene. Some people even said that the reason why you went to Hollywood to make a movie was to avoid SARS in Hong Kong. Do you think this is the reason?  ? "The 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards in 2002 was still a bumper harvest for "Infernal Affairs", which received twelve nominations and won the best film, director, screenwriter, actor, supporting actor, editing, and original design.  Seven awards for songs.  "Infernal Affairs" and "Hero" competed on the same stage. "Hero" only won seven technical awards, which can be said to be completely defeated by "Infernal Affairs".  This was an opportunity to shine.  It's just that Wan Xiaohu had already decided to film "Saw" at that time and did not attend the awards ceremony.  In fact, it's not just him Wan Xiaohu.  Mainland actors and directors such as Zhang Yimou, the creator of "Hero", did not attend the awards ceremony.  ¡°SARS in Hong Kong is more serious than SARS in Dongguang, and everyone is at risk.  Wan Xiaohu didn¡¯t go to the award ceremony because he was afraid of SARS. He hadn¡¯t enjoyed a good life yet, so he didn¡¯t want to take the risk of going to the worst-hit area. He was afraid of the worst.  Once you are infected, even if the disease is cured, there will be sequelae and your life will be ruined.  This award ceremony is also the one with the lowest atmosphere, due to SARS, the Iraq war, and Leslie Cheung's suicide.  It cast a shadow over the party.  The originally hyped competition between Andy Lau and Tony Leung Chiu-wai for the Best Actor title was also widely publicized as the possibility that the award might be awarded directly to him in memory of Leslie Cheung.  But in the end it happened to Andy Lau, and Andy, who lost the Golden Horse Award, was overjoyed.  Won the second Academy Award for Best Actor in his life.  Wan Xiaohu¡¯s award for Best Director was accepted by Mak Siu-fai on his behalf, and Wan Xiaohu also gave an acceptance speech.  "Thank you to the Academy Awards, to all the crew, and to everyone who worked for "Infernal Affairs." Hong Kong people cannot be overshadowed by SARS, and I hope everyone can cheer up. Revitalize Hong Kong movies, and revitalize Chinese-language movies!" Since the Golden Horse Awards,  Wan Xiaohu won the second grand prize in his life, but he was not able to receive it in person.  It¡¯s extremely regrettable.  ¡°I can only comfort myself that I am still young and there are many opportunities in the future. A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall and there is no need to take risks.  My thoughts turned back to "Interview with Yang Lan".  How could Wan Xiaohu admit that he was afraid of death? If he dared to admit it, he would be scolded to death. Besides, he really didn¡¯t have time, so he said vigorously and solemnly: ¡°I¡¯m not worried about SARS. For me now, time is very short.¡±  Not enough. As for today's interview, I originally planned to take a day off. I just came back from the United States and I haven't even recovered from the jet lag yet. However, there have been a lot of personal controversies outside recently, and I will be closed for filming later.  "The Wind", I have no choice but to take this opportunity to explain. " "You are indeed very busy. We have no time to rehearse for this interview today." After Yang Lan finished speaking, the camera switched to a narration film.  This is the style of "Interviews with Yang Lan", where an interview is interspersed with a story.  "Wan Xiaohu was born in 1980 and grew up in an ordinary textile worker family. In 1998, he was admitted to the directing department of Beijing Film Academy. In 2000, Wan Xiaohu, who was still a sophomore, made the most important decision in his life.  , to shoot the movie. With the hard-earned investment of 500,000 yuan, "Waiting Alone" was produced, and in the subsequent release, it achieved a high box office of 21.8 million yuan. "The movie scene of "Waiting Alone" is playing on the screen.  , Wan Xiaohu was wearing a suit, his hair was combed shiny, holding a cigarette in his hand, holding his head high: "I don't do this" Then he changed the cigarette to another hand and continued the second half of the sentence: "  I want to discuss it again." "The success of "Waiting Alone" allowed this director who likes to make guest appearances in his own movies to truly embark on the path of directing his second movie in the same year."The Butterfly Effect" has created the best box office performance of a domestic film in North America.  "The scene switched to the movie scene of "The Butterfly Effect". The male protagonist played by Chen Kun was scolding his younger brothers. One of the younger brothers, Sanqi development type, was Wan Xiaohu. "In 2001, Wan Xiaohu filmed "My Savage"  "Girlfriend" caused a widespread sensation in Asia. For a time, the savage girlfriend became the standard for choosing a mate in the minds of many young people, causing people to imitate it.  The movie's box office performance was also outstanding, setting a box office record for Chinese-language movies in South Korea, with 4 million moviegoers.  " The screen once again switched to the movie scene of "My Sassy Girl". Wan Xiaohu, Ning Hao and Cheng Er were eating hot pot around a small table. "The movie that established Wan Xiaohu as a commercial film master was shot in 2001 and 2002.  "Infernal Affairs" released in theaters.  After the film was released, it achieved outstanding results, ranking second in the box office of Chinese films in the mainland and third in the box office of Hong Kong. It also won the Golden Horse Award, the Academy Award for Best Director, Best Film, Best Actor and many other awards. It has a good reputation at the box office.  Double harvest.  " "The fortune teller said that I am a general who has achieved great success" The movie scene changed to "Infernal Affairs". Zeng Zhiwei sent his younger brothers to the police academy to work as undercover agents in the temple. One of the younger brothers was Wan Xiaohu, standing dullly in the crowd.  . Switch back to the scene. It looks coherent, but it is edited.  We started filming the movie in March of this year, and it has been three full years now.  And you have already completed and released four movies. The fifth one, "The Wind", is still being shot, and the sixth one, "Saw," has been finished?  "    "Yes.  " "Also counting the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" you mentioned before, and "Qin Shi Mingyue" which has not been released yet.  This is equivalent to saying that you created eight works in three years.  Let¡¯s also count the works you participated in as screenwriters and producers. Wow, this is really a huge project. No wonder you said you are very busy.  " Wan Xiaohu shrugged: "I have a steady stream of inspiration now, and I always think about it while I am still young and energetic.  To create more works.  " "Do you feel tired?  If it were on me, I would be exhausted.  " "It's a matter of interest. It's like we have a physical education class and ask you to run. You feel exhausted.  But if you play basketball or football, you won't feel tired even if you are sweating profusely.  Interests keep you focused and energetic.  " "That's the truth.  However, I still have to praise you. You have accomplished so many things and yet done so successfully and brilliantly. This is something that only a few people can do.  There's one detail I've always wanted to ask about, and that's "Saw."  You said it was a low-budget horror film, shot in one month?  ¡± ¡°The script was created earlier.  To be precise, after I went to the United States, it took me three days to polish the script, five days to arrange the shooting location, one day to select the characters, and nineteen days to shoot the shots. The entire shooting cycle took 28 days.  " "It takes less than a month. Isn't this a little too fast?  " "Actually, it's not very fast. When I shot "Waiting Alone," it only took a month. Some movies don't require a long production cycle. In Hollywood, $2 million is like making a movie in the Mainland.  The cost of "Waiting Alone" is 500,000 yuan, but wages and prices in Hollywood are more expensive.  " " Let me ask you, my movie fans, when will it be released?  " "I'm not very clear about the arrangement of the release, because I am in charge of filming the film, and the distribution is left to Lionsgate Film Company. It depends on their arrangements.  If possible, it will be released before Christmas this year.  " "Is "The Wind" confirmed to be released in December?  Movie fans are lucky to be able to watch two of your movies.  "    "hehe.  "Wan Xiaohu smiled. There is no hope for mainland audiences to see "Saw". There is a 90% chance that it will not pass the review. As soon as he finished speaking, another feature film appeared. "Wan Xiaohu in 2003,  It is spent in busyness and criticism.  With the release of "Hero", "Infernal Affairs" was pushed to second place at the box office. In terms of the title of commercial film master, the mainstream media and some audiences responded fiercely.  Some people think that Wan Xiaohu is not yet a master, while others think that Wan Xiaohu's outstanding performance in the business field is enough for him.  " "The movie scene of "Infernal Affairs" was played on the TV. Andy Lau was handcuffed, and Tony Leung held a gun against his head. The background was Hong Kong Island and the blue sky. "2003 was also the year when Wan Xiaohu's plan changed the fastest.  , announced at the end of last year that he would direct two animated films, and finally resigned as the director of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and decided to shoot a domestic spy film.??The blockbuster "The Wind", just when all the audiences were looking forward to "The Wind", Wan Xiaohu paused filming and shot another movie "Chainsaw" in Hollywood.  " The clips from the "Saw" movie brought by Wan Xiaohu began to play on the TV. They were some unedited copy materials. "At this time, the controversy over Wan Xiaohu also reached its peak" Back in the studio, Yang Lan  He smiled and asked: "Wan Xiaohu, I have an open letter you published on Time.com, let me read it for everyone.  ¡®I am Wan Xiaohu, I am in Hollywood, filming This is me Wan Xiaohu, the most unique director in the world!  ¡¯ A very personal letter, followed by the song "Unrepentant" by Faye Wong. Is this your deepest thought?  " Wan Xiaohu laughed: "I wrote it on impulse. It's quite funny now that I think about it" PS: Forgot to thank you!
