    "I wrote it on impulse. It's quite funny now that I think about it. When I wrote this letter, I had just decided to shoot "Saw". In other words, it was when my brain was getting hot. Because I was injured at the time, I hired the director.  At that time, the asking price was too high. In itself, a Hollywood director only gets a few hundred thousand dollars to direct a horror movie. Why did he ask me for millions of dollars? " "What's the reason?  " "I think it's a slight. They look down on your script written by a Chinese and the $2 million you invested. They set the price with the idea that the movie will fail. This is a bit unacceptable to me.  Accept, I don't accept this kind of contempt, so I said, I will make it myself. I don't believe it. Without Hollywood directors, it is impossible to make good movies. " "This is very good, and it is not a Hollywood director.  Have you ever thought about entering Hollywood so early?" Yang Lan asked, "There are not many Chinese directors making movies in Hollywood.  Isn¡¯t it very difficult?¡± Wan Xiaohu thought for a moment and said, ¡°I¡¯m not entering Hollywood, and I never thought about it so early. Making Chinese films is what I¡¯m good at, and I won¡¯t abandon it. I can only try it occasionally.  Wait, when the Chinese market develops, it won't matter whether you go to Hollywood or not. " "You actually have such an idea? You don't really care about going to Hollywood? It seems to me that whether to go to Hollywood is a measure.  A director¡¯s achievement, especially after the success of Li Yu and Wu Yusen. ¡°In fact, the market in North America is huge and the investment in Hollywood is huge.  The distribution and influence of the film are very great, and it is very convenient for the release of the film. It is like if I make a film now, Asia may pay attention to it, but Europe and the United States do not pay attention to you at all, and naturally you do not.  If you don't have the opportunity to make a movie, you will be less likely to make a blockbuster. So as a director, you always want to go to Hollywood and make a blockbuster to prove yourself. ""You don't want to prove yourself?" "What do you want to prove?  Wan Xiaohu smiled casually, "You made a domestic film and suddenly received billions in box office. This is proof. I really appreciate Zhang Yimou's insistence on making Chinese blockbusters and selling them back to Hollywood."  I am a businessman, and I will still go to Hollywood to make movies. It is a shortcut to making money. " "Can I understand that your view on movies is that there is no difference between Hollywood movies and Chinese-language movies.  It¡¯s just that the American market is huge now, can we make more money?¡± Wan Xiaohu nodded: ¡°It can be understood that Hollywood is a very commercial place. Of course, the box office is an affirmation for filmmakers.  Directors are eager to do this. " "Tell me about the situation when you filmed "Saw" in Hollywood. It will also serve as a reference for more directors who want to go to Hollywood. " "I invested in this film by myself, and it is very important to the Hollywood industry.  I don¡¯t have a deep understanding of the system yet, so I¡¯ll just give you some superficial feelings.  When I make a movie in the Mainland, let's just say I'm making "The Wind". We need to put up a cordon outside and set up checkpoints, otherwise reporters will rush over.  I was shooting in Hollywood and wanted to invite reporters, but no one wanted to come. Logically speaking, I am not unknown, but others don¡¯t pay attention to you. There are too many big directors there. More than a thousand movies are shot every year, and the competition is very fierce.  , especially in Hollywood, you may take a walk on the road and meet ten passers-by, A, B, B, and D, and then when you ask about them, oh, they are all directors who are somewhat famous in various places.  " "Oh, haha, that's the movie kingdom over there, with so many directors.  " "Yes, many directors are gathering there.  So my idea is that you can go, but you must be cautious. It does not mean that if you make a few successful movies in China, you will definitely be successful if you go to Hollywood.  You have to know that when you go, you also represent the image of a region.  Take Jason Wu as an example. When "Mission: Impossible 2" became a success, Hollywood looked highly at Chinese directors. However, his "Windtalker" almost bankrupted MGM, which suddenly caused Hollywood to hold back on Chinese directors.  It's a wait-and-see attitude.  If the "Memory Crack" filmed now is not successful, it will not only be Wu Yusen's failure, but also affect the future of a large number of Chinese directors, so you must be cautious.  " "You are very cautious. With a small investment of 2 million US dollars, you still need to hire a director to shoot it. If others ask for a higher price, you will shoot it yourself.  " "Yes, and I am poor. Two million US dollars is not a small amount.  " "Haha, after talking so much about Hollywood, I can see that you still focus on Chinese films.  So now, how do you feel about the controversy that many movie fans, viewers, and the media have against you?  Do you still maintain the attitude stated in the open letter?  " Wan Xiaohu bowed and said, "I was making a movie in the United States and didn't pay much attention to it.After this controversy, they all told me that your image has been greatly affected now.  There are a lot of things I want to say, but I just don¡¯t know how to express them. Three years ago, I might have been very sad, why didn¡¯t everyone understand me, but now I think about it more openly. I accept everyone¡¯s criticism of me and will do more in the future.  He devoted himself wholeheartedly to his career as a director.  " "You still have something to say?  Tell me, there are many viewers here today, and they all want to hear what you have to say.  Guys, isn¡¯t it?  "    "yes.  "The audience responded in unison. Wan Xiaohu smiled and finally said: "I am a person with very complicated ideas. I am not limited to making movies, but I will try many things.  But now the media will trap you and assign you an identity. They say that Wan Xiaohu is the standard-bearer of the sixth generation of directors. I have never admitted it. They say that you are a commercial film director. I like to make commercial films, but that does not mean that I am.  I don¡¯t know how to make literary films. They said that you, Wan Xiaohu, wanted to fight with Zhang Yi. I never thought about it.  I am not a pure director. I also like fame and fortune, but I prefer creative freedom and go out and do it while I am still young.  " "You are only 23 years old now, and the media has too many demands on you.  " "You have made achievements, and others will have demands on you.  I'm grateful for everyone's recognition of me.  Film creation is a very sacred thing, and you can't do it half-heartedly.  Nowadays, people say that Wan Xiaohu is not attentive when making movies, but I accept it with an open mind.  It's just that there are some jobs that the audience can't see, and the media will turn a blind eye to you.  "    "What kind of job?  " "Take "The Wind" as an example. The filming was suspended for a month. It does not mean that the crew has stopped functioning. It just increased the original rehearsal time. The remaining scenes were shot in Bincheng.  Filmed in a city building called Qiuzhuang.  You have to use your acting skills to make up for the limitations of the scene. The longer the rehearsal time, the better the rendering of this big drama will be.  The media doesn't report on this, he only pays attention to, alas, Wan Xiaohu was lazy and stopped filming.  Hey, Wan Xiaohu lost concentration while filming "Saw".  In fact, isn't it normal for a director to have several cases on his hands?  " "So you said in your open letter, 'I will not follow the script designed for me by others', because you are doing everything in an orderly manner.  You said you resigned as the director of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" because you had already arranged a way out for it.  So now we see that this cartoon is very popular among children. It is not bad because Wan Xiaohu resigned as director and is not concentrating on it.  "    "right.  " After saying that, the TV screen switched. A summary narrative was made. " Wan Xiaohu's journey from "Waiting Alone" was not what everyone thought.  Lost in success, he is still determined to follow his scriptand then he will continue the filming of "The Wind" to complete another piece of the dream puzzle in his hands.  " "Next week's program, we will continue to enter Wan Xiaohu's world to see how he views the creation and formation of a movie, and to understand what kind of spy movie "The Wind" is.  "The screen cut to Wan Xiaohu, who smiled and said: "Morse code is a very practical spy method. It can hide anywhere you want. Why is the name of the movie called The Sound of Wind? Because the wind can transmit messages.  Where there is wind, there is wind" "What kind of perceptions and expectations does he have for the future and the present?  "The screen cut to Wan Xiaohu again: "For a while, I wanted to do everything. Then someone asked me, she said, are you tired from working so hard? I'm tired even if you are not tired" The subtitles scrolled at the bottom of the screen.  The camera rotated and lifted above the studio hall. Wan Xiaohu and Yang Lan seemed to be interacting with the audience, laughing loudly. ¡°How did Wan Xiaohu answer the audience¡¯s hilarious questions?  " "Beijing Satellite TV will pay close attention to "Interview with Yang Lan" and "Movies in the Eyes of Wan Xiaohu (Part 2)" next Saturday to share him and his thoughts on movies.  "  The broadcast of "Interview with Yang Lan" has brought the never-ending controversy to an end. It has brought many content that has been reported wantonly by the media onto a reasonable track, and also allowed restless movie fans to gradually understand Wan Xiaohu. This  He is not a self-aggrandizing director. He worked hard and without even taking a breath, Wan Xiaohu went to Qiuzhuang in Bincheng. Qiuzhuang was built on the cliff by the sea in Bincheng.  The exterior building is just an exterior building, and the scenes inside Qiuzhuang were shot in a studio in Bincheng. In order to capture the magnificent scenery of Qiuzhuang, Wan Xiaohu also specially contacted Hollywood through the Dragon Warrior Digital Painting Company.  The special effects team, which has worked with "Harry Potter" and "Mission: Impossible" teams, conducted aerial photography of Qiuzhuang.Steep cliffs, black sea, and large-scale buildings are all majestic and majestic scenes that cannot be seen in domestic movies.  Not only the aerial photography of Qiuzhuang, but also the return to Haijin City in a few days to take aerial photography of the market scene with 3,000 people, trying to incorporate the great era of the movie background into the shots.  Otherwise, the 50 million investment would not have been possible just for the scenes in the secret room.  In the past, Wan Xiaohu had no money, so he would save whatever he could. Now that he has money, he naturally wants to make well-made products.  Aerial photography is nothing. The key is that the props in Qiuzhuang are all antiques searched from all over the world, creating a sense of age.  The surgical box shipped by air from the United States is unique, the props and books on the bookshelf are all historical relics of the year, the record player and vinyl records are from private collections The most expensive antique piano alone costs hundreds of thousands in rent.  "The Wind" is a sincere work!  Returning to the set, Wan Xiaohu immediately summoned everyone and announced loudly: "Brothers and sisters, I am back. From today on, "The Wind" will start again!"
