    At the end of 2004, "Wanted" was the most popular movie.  After a more than two-month release period around the world, on March 1st after the New Year, the last box office in Japan ended.  "A cross-generational Chinese-language blockbuster has finally come to an end. Starting from "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to "Heroes" becoming the North American weekly champion, and then "Wanted" becoming the global weekly champion, the development of Chinese-language blockbusters has been rapid. Although  For one reason or another, the Chinese market has been in a downturn, but everyone has seen that Chinese films will grow with the growth of Chinese-language films. ""Zhang Yimou among the fifth generation directors, Wan Xiaohu among the sixth generation directors, Hong Kong.  Wu Yusen of movies, Li Yu of Taiwanese movies, Chinese directors have had setbacks and confusions, but the future is bright, the older generation is still strong, and the new generation is shining brightly, both in business and literature. " mtime time network in March.  On the 2nd, we will do the last box office summary of "Wanted".  ""Wanted" broke all box office records ever held by Chinese-language films. Although, unfortunately, it only received 324 million yuan in the mainland, failing to break the "Titanic" dharma that hangs over the heads of Chinese filmmakers.  "The Sword of Chris, but at least it gives us hope!" "With the luxurious box office figures, Wan Xiaohu has also become the first person in Asian commercial films, a 25-year-old director, a 25-year-old commercial film master, and will definitely be China.  A banner for the next fifty years of movies!" ""It was officially released on December 24, 2004, and was released in Japan on March 1, 2005. During the entire release period, "Wanted" ended perfectly with a super box office of 452 million U.S. dollars, ranking among  It ranked ninth in the global box office in 2004, with a box office of US$191 million in North America. It ranked seventh in the box office in North America in 2004. It ranked first in box office in mainland China in 2004 and ranked second in total box office in history.  "Wanted" has broken local box office records for Chinese-language films in all regions, with a total of 69 countries and regions. "Among them, nine have a box office of over 10 million, including 39.15 million in North America and 39.15 million in mainland China.  Japan is 27.37 million, the United Kingdom is 24.34 million, Russia is 23.02 million, South Korea is 22.11 million, France is 12.2 million, Denmark is 11.49 million, and Germany is 10.92 million U.S. dollars. " " As the Year of the Monkey comes to the end of the Year of the Rooster, Wan Xiaohu is also "  "Wanted" has a super box office and is hailed as the pinnacle of action movies and the pinnacle of violent aesthetics, and has become the most influential figure in Asia. At the same time, Jessica Alba was listed in the Asian edition of Time Magazine on January 31, 2005.  On the cover with Chen Kun, Wan Xiaohu, Jessica Alba and Chen Kun were selected as Time Magazine's 2004 Person of the Year. " Below are two links, one is that Jessica Alba and Chen Kun were selected for the cover.  The character introduction is in the issue, and the other is the Person of the Year issue.  "Wan Xiaohu's action fantasy!" This is the theme of the cover issue, although the cover is the portrait of Jessica Alba and Chen Kun.  The introduction inside is basically an exclusive interview with Wan Xiaohu.  Reporter: "First of all, I want to congratulate you. "Wanted" has become the most successful Chinese film." Wan Xiaohu: "Thank you." Reporter: "Why did you want to make such a commercial film instead of a martial arts film?  Are you going to follow the path of Li Yu and Zhang Yimou? " Wan Xiaohu: "I haven't thought about it that way. Many Chinese directors are making martial arts movies, and Hollywood is also making them. I don't think it has to be a martial arts movie to express Chinese movies.  I don¡¯t intend to take a very literary route. I just want to make a very exaggerated commercial film.¡± Reporter: ¡°You are a very young director, but you are the most commercially successful director in Asia. Do you think you are related to Asia?  What are the differences between other Chinese directors? " Wan Xiaohu: "Maybe it's because they look at the problem from a different perspective. I don't know much about Asian directors. As for Chinese directors, many people have experienced some complicated lives, and they bring more into it.  It reflects my own life experience and insights. I am different. I don¡¯t have so many ideas. When I make a movie, I rarely bring my own feelings into the movie. I always weave the script as a dream.¡± Reporter: ¡°This is it.  What¡¯s the difference between you and the sixth-generation directors? You don¡¯t touch literary films.¡± Wan Xiaohu: ¡°I don¡¯t have much insight, so I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to make it.¡± Reporter: ¡°In China, many people compare you to Zhang Yimou.  Is this a comparison? " Wan Xiaohu: "No, I am more self-conscious. I don't have so much burden when making a movie. Zhang Yimou may need to think a lot when making a movie. I just make it when I want to. I am not afraid of making a bad movie.  Being scolded and losing money, I don¡¯t care about comparing myself to any director.¡± Reporter: ¡°Because you have your own business and it¡¯s running very well?¡± Wan Xiaohu: ¡°That¡¯s right.¡±nbsp;Reporter: "The production cost of "Wanted" is US$60 million. This is the largest investment in a Chinese-language film. Is it also a decision based on your own money?" Wan Xiaohu: "That's right." Reporter: "Why?  Adapt an American comic into a Chinese-language film instead of filming it directly in Hollywood? "Wan Xiaohu: "Let's do an experiment to see if the Hollywood model can be rooted in Chinese-language films. We are third-world film workers, and our technology and  In terms of thinking, it is difficult to seek international recognition, but you must take this step. Any healthy film industry should have artistic films that represent its own culture and commercial films that can achieve box office success. Many directors are better than others in terms of art.  I am good at it, so I will do some business exploration. "Reporter: "So you chose American comics and Jessica Alba as the heroine, do you hope to play a transitional role?" Wan Xiaohu: "Yes.  , both East and West have prosopagnosia, and the Chinese language is too profound and profound, so I was afraid that Westerners would not be able to understand it, so I chose some simple stories to shoot, and I was also afraid that they would confuse the characters in the movie, so I hired Jessica Al.  Ba, she is a very beautiful woman, and her face is in line with the common aesthetics of the East and the West. "Reporter: ""The Matrix" promotes bullet time. You created the bullet twist. How do you understand the bullet twist?" Wan Xiaohu: "  Haha, it¡¯s just nonsense. It¡¯s fun to watch. After all, he¡¯s a superhero, right? He always has some abilities that ordinary people can¡¯t understand.¡± Reporter: ¡°¡­ Your first Hollywood movie was ¡°Saw¡± and it was very successful. Your next one will be.  When do you plan to come to Hollywood? " Wan Xiaohu: "I have a lot of production on hand now. I want to direct an animated film "Kung Fu Panda". I have been making technical reserves for it for a long time. I started planning it in the second half of last year and now I have cooperated with DreamWorks.  I will write and start writing. But I will probably find time to direct a small-budget live-action film, or a Chinese-language film co-produced by China and the United States.¡± Reporter: ¡°Kung Fu Panda¡±? Wan Xiaohu: ¡°Yes, one called  Po¡¯s panda knows Kung Fu. You can watch the cartoons from Po Animation Studio. The cartoon panda on the logo in the title is Po. In the movie, it will be presented in three-dimensional effect.¡± Reporter:  "So, what about the other movie?" Wan Xiaohu: "In the plan, I can reveal the name, it is called "Source Code", and I can't say much else."  In another link, it is "Times"  Weekly's 2004 Person of the Year introduction, Wan Xiaohu ranked 14th with a vote rate of 3%, followed by Jessica Alba with a vote rate of 9% and Chen Kun with a vote rate of 5%.  Ranked 8th.  The top of the list of influential figures is President George W. Bush, who was successfully re-elected.  The so-called man of the hour naturally refers to exposure and fame. As a director who lives behind the scenes, if Wan Xiaohu hadn't been too conspicuous in Asia and was young, it is estimated that a movie with a good box office alone would not be enough to make the list.  .  "Times" introduced Wan Xiaohu as the young leader of Chinese directors.  "There are probably many directors younger than Wan Xiaohu in the world, but there are no directors younger and more successful than Wan Xiaohu. Steven Spielberg directed his first movie when he was 25 years old, and Wan Xiaohu was 25.  At that time, he was already the director of a $452 million blockbuster movie and became one of the most popular directors in Asia and even the world. ""This is a prolific director who shot seven movies in more than four years between the ages of 20 and 25, oh.  , and a cartoon. Everyone in China knows him. A movie with his name is a guarantee of box office. Even if it comes to Hollywood, it still follows this law. " "Now, the whole world is watching.  Looking forward to his next movie. " "Wanted" broke all records for Chinese-language films and won two "Time Magazine" cover stars. Wan Xiaohu himself was also selected as the Person of the Year.  Now his popularity definitely exceeds that of all Chinese directors. Often a piece of news about Wan Xiaohu can double the sales of a newspaper.  ??And Chen Kun has also become a new star in Hollywood, and he has an additional face that is recognized by Chinese people.  Jessica Alba is even more incredible. She is chasing Hollywood¡¯s top actresses and doesn¡¯t accept too many endorsements and commercial activities.  At the same time, "Wanted" was also nominated for the 77th Academy Awards for Best Sound Effects and Best Visual Effects. However, because the action was a bit exaggerated, it was not a favorite for the award. In addition, it was an insignificant award. Wan Xiaohu even  None of them went to the scene.  He is now focusing his attention on his debut animated film "Kung Fu Panda".  As early as 2002, Abao Animation was establishedWan Xiaohu was determined to direct this animated film when he was working in the studio. As a three-dimensional animated film based on Chinese animals and Chinese kung fu as a selling point, it was shot in Hollywood at a cost of 130 million U.S. dollars and took in 631 million at the global box office.  Dollar.  In fact, Wan Xiaohu¡¯s box office is still secondary. The key is that this is a kung fu movie with Chinese elements from beginning to end.  ??Is there any other blockbuster movie that is more suitable for you to shoot than this one?  (To be continued) PS: I¡¯m delayed, there will be an update later!  It¡¯s the end of the month, please vote!
