    When "Saw" was being released, Wan Xiaohu was also busy.  On November 1, 2003, the 12th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival was held in Jiaxing.  This year¡¯s Golden Rooster Award and Hundred Flowers Award have nothing to do with Wan Xiaohu. The organizing committee invited him to present awards, but he didn¡¯t agree.  He came to Jiaxing, one to participate in academic seminars and the other to prepare for the premiere of "The Wind".  As for academic seminars, Wan Xiaohu only participated in two.  They are two academic seminars entitled "Exploring the Development Strategy of Fantasy Films from the Characteristics of Ghost Films" and "Resource Integration and Market Operation: The Key to the Take-off of Chinese Animation".  As for other seminars on the reform of state-owned cultural enterprises, the upgrading of the film industry, and winning breakthroughs in challenges, etc., which are discussed every year, Wan Xiaohu refused them all because he had no time.  We talk about it every year, and talk a lot of nonsense every year. As a result, we can't talk about black and white every year.  It¡¯s okay not to go to this kind of seminar.  On the morning of the 2nd, Wan Xiaohu participated in the first fantasy film seminar and took the lead as the first speaker.  "If we take real life as a reference, we can divide conventional films into two forms: realistic films based on reality and fantasy films based on fantasy and deviating from reality. The latter generally include science fiction films, magic films, mythological films, ghost films and  Some martial arts films. " "As a big film country, before 2000, we basically had all realistic films. After 2000, there were also very few fantasy films. This is a very abnormal phenomenon and an extremely abnormal film market.  " "We have long-term development of realistic films. Although its achievements cannot be ignored, the negative effects cannot be ignored because we have suppressed the expression of the author's creative spirit and led to the monotony of the film production industry.  The abnormal development of culture has also seriously suppressed the audience's desire to consume fantasy movies. ""In Hollywood movies, realistic movies have gradually become a minority, and fantasy movies are increasing day by day, especially after "Star Wars", special effects blockbusters.  Gradually becoming the main force at the box office, Hollywood special effects have developed, and the characters simulated in the computer are indistinguishable from the real characters. "So in recent years, Hollywood blockbusters have been approaching, although there are only a few imported films.  movie, but it accounts for half of the domestic box office. Does it mean that Hollywood must tell stories? No, but Hollywood movies release the imagination of the audience, and suddenly they see it.  Bullets can turn, which must be a surprise. " "But our domestic movies are still stuck in the realistic style. It seems that if the movie is not realistic and does not pay attention to humanistic care, it is not a good movie. This is equivalent to giving up the country and creating illusions.  Movies are rare and expensive, and when Hollywood comes, it easily steals our market. "Everyone has curiosity. Americans have it, and so do Chinese people. But our filmmakers don't. We can only imagine."  The ultimate is martial arts, holding a sword and flying over walls. Martial arts is indeed the pride of Chinese movies, but we have been doing this since the 1950s, and we are still making a fuss about it.  Domestic movies are in urgent need of breakthroughs. Piracy is becoming increasingly rampant. How to solve it? Is there any piracy in Hollywood?  It¡¯s more exciting. Over time, they have the awareness to go to the cinema and spontaneously stop piracy.¡± ¡°Today I won¡¯t talk about the special effects. I want to be blunt. If I talk about the special effects, you don¡¯t know much about them.  " Wan Xiaohu used a relaxed tone and slightly stimulated the filmmakers present. If it doesn't stimulate them, they still don't understand what special effects are when we talk next time, "So I want to talk about it, everyone is familiar with it.  Ghost movies. The White Snake and King Yama are ancient legends, while Happy Ghost and Zombies are products of Hong Kong movies. "There are no ghosts in the world. Ghosts are imagined by human beings based on their own needs, and the prototype of ghosts is human beings."  The images of ghosts in movies can be roughly divided into four categories: evil ghosts, good ghosts, happy ghosts, and complex ghosts.  They embody the collective imagination and creativity of different nations, and are each endowed with different aesthetic characteristics and cultural functions.  ¡± Next, Wan Xiaohu elaborated on the characteristics of ghost films in terms of their narrative, structure, action and emotional endowment. ¡°Fantasy movies are a cultural product.  Concepts such as and God, realism and freehand brushwork are all beneficial to creating the image and artistic conception of fantasy movies. Filmmakers should try to fully embody them through special effects, show the rich heritage of Chinese culture, and display the special oriental national spirit.  ¡± ¡°From the perspective of China¡¯s film development strategy, only?Realistic films have flaws, and the development of non-realistic films, especially fantasy films, will provide opportunities for the leapfrog development of Chinese films.  If we can seize it, it will not only be possible to promote the development of high-tech film production, create fresh images and meet market demand, but also start the subsequent development of the film industry.  " " Toys, book publishing, computer games, clothing, tourist souvenirs and other related industries related to fantasy film images are likely to be driven. These will definitely bring unlimited vitality to the comprehensive and balanced development of Chinese film culture in the new century.  Chinese movies have great promise.  " After finishing his eloquent speech, Wan Xiaohu picked up the cup and drank tea silently, waiting for others to express their opinions. "Fantasy movies are the biggest shortcomings of Chinese movies. Since 2000, he is the only one among the serious science fiction movies released.  A "Butterfly Effect". Without fantasy films, there would be no development of special effects in China. Wan Xiaohu hopes to reverse this situation. However, it seems at the seminar that the situation is not objective, and many filmmakers are still focusing on ghost films.  There is a lot of talk about science fiction and fantasy movies, but there is not much talk about them. ¡°It seems that there is a long way to go to develop epic fantasy blockbusters in China!  "Wan Xiaohu leaned on the back of his chair, thinking boredly. After the meeting, he chatted with a few familiar directors, and then went back to the hotel to rest. The next day, there was another seminar, about the animation industry.  As a reborn person, Wan Xiaohu knows the future direction of film development. Magic, science fiction, and animation are the three magic weapons for successful movies. At the seminar, Wan Xiaohu sat with Duan Jia, an associate professor at Beidian School of Animation.  The professor is a female professor who is almost 50 years old. She has a pair of eyes and looks very scholarly. She worked on cartoons at CCTV in the 1980s. In the 1990s, due to the shortage of animation teachers at Beidian, she began to teach in school.  Committed to promoting the development of China¡¯s animation industry. ¡°Hello, Mr. Duan, I have been wanting to attend your class for a long time.  "Wan Xiaohu said hello very politely. "The teacher is honored that you can go and listen to the teacher's class.  "    "I am not kidding.  Teacher Duan, I am currently working on "Qin Shi Mingyue". To be honest, the technical content of cartoons is no worse than that of live-action movies, judging from the production cycle and technical rendering.  The gold content is higher.  There are too few animation talents in China now, which is why "Qin Shi Mingyue" has been created for more than a year and has not been released yet.  So I have always wanted to communicate with Teacher Duan.  " "I have been paying attention to you. When you wanted to make cartoons, I was very supportive.  But then I heard that you resigned as animation director.  I still thought it was a pity, but I didn¡¯t expect that you didn¡¯t give up on this idea.  ¡± ¡°Animated films have always been the direction I am committed to researching.  " "There are too few people in China who want to make animated films like you.  They all regard cartoons as retarded children's education, alas.  "    "yes.  " After chatting for a while, the seminar began, and everyone expressed their opinions and expressed their opinions. Wan Xiaohu also expressed his own opinions. "I remember that Mr. Disney, the founder of Disney Animation 70 years ago, said something like this" I  Not making movies primarily for kids. But making movies for the innocence in all of us, whether he's 6 or 60, and that's called innocence.  In my work, I strive to realize and express this innocence, so that it can show the fun and joy of life, the health of laughter, and the pursuit of human nature despite its sometimes absurdity.  Realm. ¡°Seventy years have passed, what has Disney become?  To what extent have animated films developed in the United States, the world's leading film country?  I think many people, including our fellow filmmakers and colleagues in the art world, don¡¯t know anything about animated films, but they also know very little.  " "Let me tell you a statistic.  The box office champion in 1995 was the animated film "Toy Story", "Pocahontas" was fourth, "A Bug's Life" was fourth in 1998, "Mulan" was 13th, "The Prince of Egypt" was 16th, and 1999  "Toy Story 2" was third, "Tarzan" was sixth, "Shrek" in 2001 was second, and "Monsters, Inc." was third.  This year, so far, "Finding Nemo" is probably going to win the championship.  " "Everyone knows that I have also started to get involved in the field of animation in the past two years. I still remember that when I announced that I would direct cartoons, many people laughed at me and said that Wan Xiaohu was getting more and more mixed up and went back. This was very embarrassing.  I am still serving as the chief director of "Qin Shi Mingyue", and I deeply feel the urgency and embarrassment of not being taken seriously in the animation industry.  ¡± ¡°I went to Hollywood to set up an animation technology research center. I was surprised to find that in Hollywood, the identity and status of animation talents, even?More noble than ordinary film talents because they are paid higher.  In Hollywood, people who watch cartoons are never limited to children. I went to see "Finding Nemo" and 80% of the people in the entire cinema were adults" "I just talked to Professor Cheng Jia.  After a while, "Qin Shi Mingyue" has been more than a year, and it has not been released yet. There is no one, no talent" "I participated in another discussion yesterday. I said that Chinese movies lack fantasy movies. In fact, we lack animated movies even more!  Dreams and innocence are sometimes equated. Without innocence, what would be a dream?  Without dreams, how can we make colorful movies?  " "The biggest obstacle to the development of Chinese films is whether it can ensure that a hundred flowers bloom, whether it can expand its thinking, and whether it can bring some romantic imagination When a nation is close to lacking creativity, this nation is not far from extinction.  The catfish effect tells us that we must take action, create material as well as spiritual creation, create reality as well as create imagination" "Learning and excellence leads to officialdom." Wan Xiaohu also gradually wants to make his own voice in the mainstream film circle  . In the past, he was walking on the path that others have trodden, but now he wants to lead others to blaze a trail! "Chainsaw" is released, and "The Wind" is about to begin. He, Wan Xiaohu, has enough strength and confidence to shout out!  My own slogan. PS: Just skip this academic chapter.
