"Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival Series Report on Chinese Film Forum: Wan Xiaohu criticized Chinese films for lack of imagination, fantasy films and animation films should not be relegated to the bottom." "The annual Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival is held in Jiaxing as a supporting film festival The China Film Forum, a high-end film academic seminar, has successfully held many high-profile seminars Wan Xiaohu, the most internationally influential director among the sixth generation directors, actively called for it at the two seminars. " " Chinese films should transition from reality to fantasy, allowing imagination to dominate the film. This is the type that a mature film market should have. At the same time, Wan Xiaohu also called for improving the status of animation professionals, supporting the animation industry, and making Chinese animation more accessible. Really take off, rather than stay in the discussion. " Since it is a seminar, there will naturally be some support and some opposition. "What Wan Xiaohu said makes some sense, but we cannot ignore that the tradition of Chinese films is humanistic care. Movies without humanistic care, no matter how high the box office is, cannot be considered a success." said a fourth-generation director. . "Our animation industry in China is relatively pure. It is just for children. Westerners are different from us. They have more vulgar tastes, so they like cartoons. We in China don't have to follow suit." A famous film scholar. "I think Wan Xiaohu is a bit crazy and takes business too seriously. In fact, strictly speaking, he has not made much success in business. He has not been able to make a movie worth 50 million US dollars. According to what he said , Blindly going to Ma Da Production. Isn¡¯t this just random thinking?¡± said a leader of Radio and Television. Liu Moumou, a professor at the Department of Directing at Shanghai Theater Academy. After learning what Wan Xiaohu said at the seminar, he criticized mercilessly: "Young people are often dazzled by temporary success. When I watched his movies, only one of his movies, "Infernal Affairs", was so-so, and the others were just so-so. He is a representative of vulgarity. He is even more vulgar than Feng Xiaogang. He has learned a little bit from the United States and shows off his vulgarity. If you want him to make movies in the United States, he will not be able to deceive the Americans. " Before the professor finished his long speech, the reporter gave him a piece of information. "Mr. Liu, I have a piece of data that I just got this afternoon. It is currently the most authoritative box office data website in China. Mtime, which jointly records Chinese film data with the National Film Special Fund Office, released the North American October 31 From November 2nd to November 2nd, the box office of the three-day weekend is "Time.com has been paying attention to the movie data of Chinese movies, Chinese-language movies and Chinese-language filmmakers. This data is released because Wan Xiaohu went to the United States to direct "Chainsaw". "It was released last weekend." Professor Liu interrupted with a fierce face: "What's wrong with you, a reporter? What are you going to say? My time is precious." The reporter quickly said, "Sorry, Mr. Liu, that's it. "Saw" was released on 2,315 screens in North America and achieved a super box office of 18.28 million US dollars over the three-day weekend, ranking third in the North American box office list. This is also the best opening result for a Chinese-language film in North America. The cost of the movie is only 2 million US dollars!¡± Professor Liu¡¯s face quickly turned cold: ¡°So what?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that Wan Xiaohu can¡¯t deceive the Americans?¡± ¡°You reporters will take things out of context. I have something else to do. If you want to do it, you should leave my office quickly" The reporter didn't know how embarrassed Professor Liu was at this moment. He enjoyed the pleasure of suddenly slapping these old guys who relied on their old age and felt superior to others. Of course, Wan Xiaohu didn't know how excited the reporters were. He stood at the door of the cinema where "The Wind" premiered and calmly responded to a group of reporters blocking him. Today is the 4th, the premiere of "The Wind". Just earlier, Mtime announced the North American weekend box office list. Because "Saw" failed to pass the mainland review, the movie did not receive much attention. As soon as the data came out, reporters became excited. Last weekend, "Scream 3", in its second week of release, maintained its lead with a low-key $20.02 million. "Bear Bear" after several screenings, this weekend's $19.4 million closely followed "Scream 3" . The third place is "Saw", the first Hollywood movie directed by Wan Xiaohu. With 18.28 million, it is slightly behind the previous two movies. What¡¯s more important is that because of Wan Xiaohu¡¯s weak reputation, ¡°Saw¡± only opened on 2,315 screens, while ¡°Scream 3¡± and ¡°The Bear¡± both had more than 3,000 screens. Therefore, "Saw", which cost less than US$2 million and has a box office of more than US$10,000 per theater, is particularly amazing. Such amazing data seems to have installed a rocket booster for Wan Xiaohu's personal fame, and it will give an even greater impetus to the upcoming "The Wind". When reporters askedWan Xiaohu seemed particularly calm about Xiaohu's feelings about this: "Low-budget horror films have always been a popular formula in Hollywood to use small things to make big things. It's not very exciting to be able to achieve such results. Of course, it's the first time I try it. Going to Hollywood to make a movie, the preparations are not very complete, but I am still very happy to achieve good results. "The reporter asked Wan Xiaohu if the next step is to enter Hollywood, Wan Xiaohu shook his head: "I am not yet. I know, I haven¡¯t planned anything. Now I just want to think quietly for a while and digest the insights that "The Wind" and "Saw" have brought me." Then, Wan Xiaohu refused to say any more. Today. It's the premiere of "The Wind", and the spotlight should be on this movie. After sending the reporters away and stretching his neck, Wan Xiaohu also turned around and entered the cinema. Huayi Brothers is responsible for receiving guests. ¡°Tiger, congratulations.¡± ¡°Congratulations, congratulations, you¡¯re a great director in Hollywood.¡± ¡°Xiaohu is great.¡± Many familiar directors came in to support, and Wan Xiaohu and Wan Xiaohu gathered together to chat and compliment each other before the movie started. Soon the main creative staff of the movie also arrived one by one, and stars surrounded Wan Xiaohu like a moon to flatter him. "Director, you're awesome. "Saw" made a lot of money in North America." "Brother Hu is a genius that only happens once in a thousand years!" Wan Xiaohu laughed: "Okay, don't flatter me. Wait for "The Wind" "After the premiere, some people criticized you for your poor acting skills and deducted your bonus!" "Isn't it true?" "Do I look like a joke teller?" Soon, everyone gathered. It's time, the cinema door closes, the lights go out, and the big screen lights up. Dang Dang Dang Dang! A few paragraphs of logo are over. The plot begins. First, the historical background was introduced, that is, the establishment of Wang Puppet Government, and then a plane appeared, flying swaying in the sky, passing through the great rivers and mountains, overlooking the swaying mainland of China. Suddenly, it seemed as if he was hit by a missile. The plane plummeted suddenly and the camera quickly advanced. The texture of the entire shot was created through special effects, creating a strong impact on the big screen, causing many viewers to immediately shrink back. And as the plane fell. The land relies on mountains and rivers to form two huge traditional Chinese characters "wind sound". There is a strong sense of immediacy of a Hollywood blockbuster. Gives a strong impact. As the plane flew smoothly close to the ground, the names of the main creative staff emerged one by one, and finally I saw a brightly lit place with fireworks blooming through the plane. let it be. After the close-up of the fireworks, we enter the next shot. The Double Tenth Festival of the Wang Puppet Government. The big scene with more than 3,000 extras makes the whole scene look full of reality. Many viewers have already exclaimed below, this is what a blockbuster feels like. From the costumes of the characters to the decoration of the interior buildings, everything is meticulous and sophisticated, rather than shoddy like other anti-war films. But before the audience could enjoy it enough, Yao Chen came on stage as a female assassin and assassinated the senior executive of the Wang Puppet Government with just two shots. Blood was splattered on the camera, and the sudden gore shocked all the viewers. This is an assassination, without any exaggeration or foreshadowing, abrupt and natural. Just a few strokes of outline. There was no sound in the entire cinema, and everyone was immersed in the plot. "It smells so good. This is a kind of spice, shipped from Ceylon. Ba Niu likes it best" The female killer was lost and arrested. During the interrogation, Wang Zhiwen smiled very treacherously. And Ba Niu is a ferocious dog. The female killer insisted not to say anything. The next moment, the spices were poured on the female killer, and Ba Niu¡¯s chain was also loosened. "Ah" Wang Zhiwen walked out of the interrogation room, and heart-rending screams came from the room. ¡°Hiss.¡± Many viewers in the cinema gasped. "It is indeed a movie that was almost banned. It's so bloody!" Wan Xiaohu smiled slightly as he listened to the audience's exclamations. The real bloodshed was yet to come. A movie can¡¯t be all tense, a movie can only be qualified if it has tension and relaxation, so it transitioned to a relatively straightforward plot. Several main suspects and interrogators appeared one by one. In the limited space, the character of each person was portrayed in a few strokes. The bohemian Gu Xiaomeng, the dignified and elegant Li Ningyu, the sullen and arrogant Wu Zhiguo, the sleek and timid Jin Shenghuo, the calm and crazy Takeda, and the vicious lackey Wang Tianxiang, and of course Lord Rabbit Bai Xiaonian. In Qiuzhuang, there was a battle of wits and courage, and a torture game to find out who the old ghost was. There is the pleasure of having indoor actors show off their acting skills. There are aerial photos of Qiuzhuang, with black sea, cyan mountains, gray castles, and so many beautiful and magnificent mountains and rivers. There is a degree of relaxation and a tight step by step. The plot is more complicated and more reasonable than the original version of "The Wind", making it impossible for people to tell who is the old ghost. In the first version of the trailer, many people knew that "Sister Yu" should not be an old ghost, but this was Wan Xiaohu's deliberate method to confuse the audience with the suggestive nature of the promotion. The audience does not believe that Li Ningyu is an old ghost, but the plot of the movie hints that she is. The audience guessed that it was Gu Xiaomeng, but the plot of the movie arranged for Gu Xiaomeng to be dissolute. At first glance, he was not a revolutionary. With the deaths of Bai Xiaonian and Jin Shenghuo, Li Ningyu, Wu Zhiguo, and Gu Xiaomeng criticized each other. Everyone wanted to clear away the suspicion, and it seemed that there was no chance to send out information. "Who is the old ghost? How can the information be sent out?" Question marks appeared on the heads of countless viewers.
