In mid-June, Wan Xiaohu completed a 120-minute copy of "Wanted" and then flew to the United States with the copy for post-production. Subtitles, soundtrack, and sound effects editing will all be completed in Hollywood. With Jessica Alba's company, life in the United States is not boring. ?? 32 special effects teams, headed by Dragon Warrior Digital Matte Company, subcontracted all the special effects shots of the movie. Wan Xiaohu sits in the middle, coordinates and directs, and requires details according to the composition he has in mind. This year is a big year for Chinese movies. Several famous directors have started shooting blockbusters, waiting for the last-minute decisive battle. "Wanted" is an international blockbuster. Whether it can compete with a group of martial arts blockbusters in China is still open to question, so it needs to be produced more carefully. As Mtime¡¯s special report on movies in June, there are ten must-see Chinese movies in 2004. "The tenth "Peacock" was shot and directed by Gu Changwei. It is scheduled for the end of the year." Last year, in 2003, a lot of interesting things happened in the Chinese film industry. One of the more interesting ones was that three famous photographers collectively changed careers as directors. Wan Xiaohu's old partner, Inspector Lu Lu Le, made "Beauty Grass" and invited Shu Qi and Liu Ye to join the cast. As a result, the box office was less than 300,000 yuan after it was released in Beijing for four days, so it failed miserably. Hou Yong, who had photographed "My Father and Mother", filmed "Jasmine Blooms" and asked Zhang Ziyi to play the three roles, and also invited Chen Chong and Jiang Wen to help. As a result, he was scolded by the director of Shanghai Magic City before the filming was completed. , I think the casting is too bad and has no flavor of the Magic City story at all. The last one is Gu Changwei, who has photographed "Red Sorghum", "Ju Dou", "Farewell My Concubine", and "Sunny Days". The filming of "Peacock" did not invite celebrities or promote it, but it still attracted a lot of attention. . "In the ninth "The World", Jia Zhangke finally surfaced. Schedules 8, 9, or 10 are possible." As a representative of the sixth generation of directors. Jia Zhangke's talent is undoubted. He has won international reputation with his trilogy "Xiao Wu", "Platform" and "Ren Xiaoyao". Like Wang Xiaoshuai, he is a literary and artistic figure among the sixth generation directors. He is the same as Wan Xiaohu and Ning Xiaoyao. Directors like Hao, who are commercial directors, are completely opposite. ?? These days, directors who are engaged in literature and art are definitely not as famous as directors who are engaged in business. So even if he wins the award in Cannes, Jia Zhangke is still an underground director, with flowers blooming inside and outside the walls. Fortunately, the fragrance of flowers has finally spread to China. The investment of 8 million in "The World" is not a small cost, so it is inevitable to attract attention. "The eighth "Jiang Hu" is better than "Infernal Affairs". It is scheduled to be released in October." "The seventh part "Crazy Racing". Ning Hao and Huang Bo continue their crazy mission, and it is scheduled to be released in July." "The sixth one is "Crazy Racing". "2046" has been long-awaited and is scheduled to be released in October. "This is a work directed by Wang Jiawei. As a literary director who values ??quality over quantity, one of Wang Jiawei's characteristics is that he is meticulous. Very attentive to details. In other words, this guy is too ink-stained. It took three or four years to shoot "2046", and the shooting stopped. It was finally completed, and the scheduled release time was pushed back again and again. It was originally scheduled for May 1st, but later it was pushed to the summer schedule. Now the latest news is that Wang Jiawei will deliver the goods in October. "The fifth "Kung Fu", can Stephen Chow continue his glory? It is scheduled for December." Before "Infernal Affairs", Xingye's "Shaolin Soccer" broke the Hong Kong box office record of 60 million Hong Kong dollars. Although many people give "Infernal Affairs" the title of the film that saved the Hong Kong film market, believing that "Infernal Affairs" activated the theme of police and gangster films in Hong Kong films, "Shaolin Soccer" also has many titles as the film that rescued the market. Now three years have passed and Star is making a comeback with "Kung Fu". "The fourth part "A World Without Thieves", Feng Xiaogang is aiming to celebrate the New Year. The schedule is December." "The third part "The Promise", Brother Chen Kai is following suit. The schedule is unknown." "The second part "House of Flying Daggers", Zhang Yimou fights in the world again "The first "Wanted" film is scheduled to be released in January." Two major battles are inevitable, with "Racing" and "House of Flying Daggers" both vying for summer slots, and "Kung Fu", "A World Without Thieves" and "Wanted" vying for New Year slots. However, competition is mostly rational, racing starts in early July and Shimian ends in July. In early December, in mid-December, the wanted order was scheduled for January next year, staggered by one or two weeks. As for North America, "Wanted" has unceremoniously occupied the Christmas slot and will be released first on December 24th. The opponent will be the comedy movie "Meet the Father-in-law 2". Apart from that, there are not many strong rivals during the entire Christmas period. It is a relatively favorable release period, which shows that Paramount's commitment to "Wanted" Pay attention to. So, June ended in the sweltering heat. July is coming. Dandelion Films' second production of the year, "Racing" will be released on Friday, July 2nd. As a companion piece to The Stone, which was all the rage back then, it attracted countless audiences to the cinema from the very beginning. Three days later, the box office was announced and it had grossed 18 million yuan, which also has a very good reputation. In the second week, it made 30 million yuan in a single week, with a total box office of 48 million yuan. For a medium-cost film with an investment of less than 12 million yuan, it has already paid back its money in ten days. "After Wan Xiaohu, another commercial genius of the sixth generation of directors was born. Ning Hao in 1977 was only three years older than Wan Xiaohu. Chinese films have entered the era of dominance by the new generation of directors!" "The crazy phenomenon is by no means accidental. Commercial films have ushered in the dawn, and the multi-line narrative racer is once again leading the box office trend! " "The sixth generation of directors has begun to seize power, and the dawn of Chinese movies is coming!" "48 million in ten days, the crazy racer is heading towards 100 million box office! "Run!" "The collective glory of comedians!" Either paying for likes or making spontaneous comments, in short, "Crazy Racing" is popular, it is completely popular. The release of Zhang Yimou's blockbuster "House of Flying Daggers" on July 16 failed to extinguish the fire. It seemed to be a box-office grab that went against the wind, with 21 million in the third full week and 17 million in the fourth full week. 9 million in its fifth full week, grabbing the box office for two months in a row before it was officially released. At this time, the final box office was 100.1 million yuan, and Ning Hao became director Yu Benzheng after "Decision of Life and Death". After Wan Xiaohu and Zhang Yimou, he is the fourth mainland director to have a single film with a box office of over 100 million. "This is the most beautiful era for sixth-generation directors!" At the end of August, after the 10th China Film Huabiao Awards Ceremony, the media reported this. Because of this Huabiao Award, Wan Xiaohu became the biggest winner of the Huabiao Award with "The Wind". Won the Outstanding Feature Film Award (tied with nine films), Outstanding Director Award (tied with Zheng Dongtian), Outstanding Actress Award (Zhou Xun), Outstanding New Film Actress Award (Li Bingbing), Outstanding Film Technology Award, and Outstanding Production Seven awards including People Award (Wan Xiaohu) and Market Development Award. The Huabiao Award is a government award. Naturally, it is the government's recognition and awards for filmmakers. Wan Xiaohu is so popular that among his nicknames is the title of "Member Wan", which means that Wan Xiaohu is the government's representative in the film industry and can bring out the patriotism and anti-Japanese war. The main melody is so beautifully executed. It¡¯s hard to think whether it represents the government or not. Not long after winning the Huabiao Award, the special effects work for "Wanted" was completed. The promotion period has officially arrived. In North America, Paramount is doing all the publicity, including editing trailers. In Asia, the publicity work is done by Golden Harvest, Dandelion, China Film Group, Huayi Brothers, and Universal Pictures. There is no giant film company in Asia yet. The market cannot be swallowed up by just one family. Gather together. Strive to open up the market and earn more. Not long after the Huabiao Awards ended, the 13th Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival started in Yinchuan on September 16th. There were only three days left, and the awards ceremony was held on September 19th. This award ceremony includes the 27th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards and the 24th China Film Golden Rooster Awards. Different from previous years, this year¡¯s Hundred Flowers Award has changed. Instead of buying a magazine and mailing in a ballot, you will vote by mobile phone, and the deadline will be the night of the award ceremony. In other words, the suspense is kept until the party, rather than being announced early. At this awards ceremony, the one with the loudest voice was naturally "The Wind". Wan Xiaohu also specially took the specially edited and produced "Wanted" to shoot a documentary and participate in this film festival for promotion. ?¡ ?The film festival is a great place to party. Wan Xiaohu enjoys the scenery of every film festival, and female stars who are usually rare to see come here. Then we can hook up, exchange phone numbers, etc., make an appointment to have a chance to collaborate, etc. On the afternoon of September 18, the multi-purpose hall of Yinchuan University was overcrowded. As the first wave of publicity, the documentary "Wanted" will be staged here. Since it is a documentary, the final exchange must be indispensable. To this end, Wan Xiaohu invited Feng Xiaogang to have a dialogue with business masters, just like Zhang Yimou invited him to have a dialogue in "Hero". These are all agreed upon rules. "I shouldn't have come today, I'm just looking for humiliation." Feng Xiaogang shouted in the backstage preparation room of Yinchuan University, "I have been filming New Year's Eve films for so many years, and all the limelight has been stolen by you and Zhang Yimou. Today It¡¯s very awkward to come here to talk about your blockbuster movie.¡± Wan Xiaohu smiled and said, ¡°Teacher Feng, you are the senior, you pioneered the New Year holiday, and we can only stand out from others because of your credit. You are always qualified to do it.Teach me a lesson when you speak. " "I feel weird when I hear what you say. Don't be so shabby to me. I don't dare to be your teacher. We are friends. You call me Lao Feng and I call you Xiaohu. That's it. Don't be vague. If you are vague, I will turn around and leave. "Feng Xiaogang continued to shout. But his attitude was not false. If Wan Xiaohu didn't call him Lao Feng, he would be angry with you. In the end, Wan Xiaohu couldn't help it, so he had to call him Lao Feng. "That's right, I, Feng Xiaogang, am not a high-class person. Director, Lao Feng sounds comfortable to me. " "But I screamed awkwardly and couldn't show my modesty. "Wan Xiaohu laughed. Every time the Golden Rooster Awards comes, Feng Xiaogang always gets upset. The Golden Rooster Awards don't like this non-academic director who jumped out of nowhere. Every year, he always does something to disgust Feng Xiaogang. But in order to promote the movie , Feng Xiaogang has not lost contact with the Golden Rooster Awards. This time is no exception. Last year, all the limelight of domestic films was stolen by "The Wind", but the box office of "Mobile Phone" was not low, with 56 million, the second highest box office that year. It stands to reason that in recent years, Chinese film awards have begun to focus on box office. "Mobile Phone" should win some awards. The Huabiao Awards were completely wiped out, the Hundred Flowers Awards did not dare to compete with "The Wind", and there was only one best award in the Golden Rooster Awards. He was shortlisted for the Supporting Actor Award and the Best Art Award. It made Feng Xiaogang almost furious. If it weren't for the promotion of "A World Without Thieves", Feng Dapao would probably have just stopped coming and started talking in the newspaper for a while. The staff said that everyone was here in the hall, so the two walked over side by side.
