rising director

"Wan Dao, "The Wind" shows a lot of torture, and it is said that many scenes have been deleted. Why did you add these scenes in the movie?"

The host is a beautiful woman. This program is a brand column "Star Podcast" jointly created by Youku Video and Mtime.com, which focuses on interviews with film and television entertainment stars.The current first issue is to interview Wan Xiaohu. The interview location is in the Sitong CBD Building. Due to the scale of development, Dandelion has rented out all the tenth and upper four floors of the building.

Wan Xiaohu leaned on the chair with his arms around him, looking very indifferent: "The suffering experienced by many anti-Japanese veterans back then may have been much crueler than this. We have made a lot of cuts, and the audience should be able to accept it. It's a tribute. You can't just think that torture is a gimmick."

"How should I understand it?"

"In fact, it can be said that a director who mixes horror in a movie is not to frighten people and then hastily. Just like American science fiction films always use aliens and monsters to tell some political things, horror finally peeps at human nature, Endurance is one level, and it is another level for the dramatist to keep his faith in front of metal sharp weapons. Watching "The Wind", we can use a cliché: People in the past can stick to their hearts and hold on to torture that is even more perverted than movies. Revolutionary belief. What would happen if it were us?"

"Add torture to torture. Is it to strengthen the protagonist's faith?"

"Yes, anti-Japanese fighters are not over-the-top, especially spy work, which is a long-term test of will. I often think that a person has been pretending for half his life, and he may also pretend to be a wife and child when he returns home. Colleagues in disguise, and. It is very likely that he will take this secret into the coffin. What kind of life is this? What kind of philosophy supports it? I was thinking about this question when I was filming "Infernal Affairs". Infernal Affairs explores the transformation of the character and heart, without deeply exploring why it is done, why Chen Yongren is so noble, and "The Wind" is exploring."

"Then some people say that the role of Bai Xiaonian is a kind of discrimination against vulnerable groups. What do you think?"

"Nothing. The role is to serve the plot. My own view on the disadvantaged is that what they need is not that we specialize them. You have to respect them. You treat them as people who are exactly like you, not You talk about vulnerable groups and vulnerable groups all day long, and you think they are vulnerable groups in your heart. You are a kind of discrimination."

"Some people say that the movie is too dark, the characters have no humanity, and the movie should convey warmth. It is not enough to say that "The Wind" can only deceive the common people, and it is not enough to deceive the intellectuals. You must have something to say about this, right?"

"I don't really want to respond to these words. I think people who say such things should have a flawed IQ. What is the function of movies? To entertain the public. Originally, movies were made for everyone's entertainment, but you said it was a lie. From a It put filmmakers in an awkward position from the very beginning."

Wan Xiaohu shook his head with a smile: "This is what we mean by knowledge points, and what is an ordinary person. It doesn't mean that knowledge points are obtained after studying for a few years. It is not uncommon for knowledge points to be trafficked. I think the more knowledgeable people are The more modest he is with his knowledge points, because the more he learns, the less he knows. People who really like to show off and pretend to be knowledge points are all silent and half-bottled, feeling that they are out of the level of ordinary people Well, actually he’s not shit.”

After changing his legs, Wan Xiaohu continued: "I always feel that the film has a clear message of thought. In "The Wind", I want to tell the audience, don't forget, you live a comfortable life now, you are all revolutionary martyrs It was bought with blood. This is not glorification or praise, it is a fact! The reality is crueler than what you see, more than 3000 million people died in the Anti-Japanese War, what kind of concept is this?"

"You can't imagine this concept. You can't accept the death of a few people in "The Wind". You know the scene our elders have seen. That is cruel. The dead people in one village and one city after another. The massacre killed 30! I really found some so-called intellectuals to be silly and cute, thinking that wars are full of flowers, and prisons are full of birds and flowers. How can there be such a good thing?"

"Now is indeed a peaceful age, but we can't forget the pain when the scars are healed. We must not have the heart of harming others, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable. We need to always remember that if you lag behind, you will be beaten. The enemy will not tell you Makes sense... Recently, some people said that "The Wind" shows that the Chinese people have a lot of hearts and like to fight. I can't communicate with this. She should watch "The Shawshank Redemption" first, so that she knows what it means to have a deep heart .No mind, the people of the country have been killed long ago.”

"Wan Dao, what you said is very reasonable. After watching "The Wind", I was very moved, especially at the end, I was in tears. It is true that without the blood of the revolutionary martyrs, we would not have a happy life now. Thinking about it now, compared with our predecessors, we are too careless and small on me." The beautiful host didn't know whether it was the truth or flattery.

"You little comrade, you are very enlightened." Wan Xiaohu nodded maturely.

At the end of the show, the beautiful host asked another question: "Wan Dao, some people say that the torture, especially the torture of Zhou Xun, is a kind of "xingnuedai", which is very bad. They also said that your psychology..."

"Let me tell you a story."

Then Wan Xiaohu told a story.

A psychiatrist conducts a psychological test on a patient.

He first drew a straight line and asked, "What does this line remind you of?"

The patient said, "Sex!"

The doctor then drew a circle and asked him, "What about this? What does it remind you of?"

The patient said, "Sex!"

The doctor drew another star and said, "What about this one?"

The patient raised his eyebrows and said, "Sex!"

The doctor put down his pen.Looking at the patient, he said seriously: "According to my judgment, you are probably suffering from sexual paranoia!"

The patient said unhappily: "You are suffering from sexual paranoia! Every painting is full of crazy patterns!"

"Haha."

After telling the story, the sense of irony filled the air. Both Wan Xiaohu and the beautiful host laughed, and this episode of the program ended.

And this episode of "Star Podcast" also attracted a large number of viewers on Youku Video, who left messages expressing their support for Wan Xiaohu.Said that "The Wind" is a rare classic patriotic educational film, and it should be made like this, instead of creating a high-ranking fake Dakong revolutionary image.

Wan Xiaohu finished the show.I was busy preparing my new movie.

As for people like Hong Huang who saw it and wanted to bark, he didn't pay attention.Now there are too many news about "The Wind", and [-]% of them are praises, which makes Wan Xiaohu numb.When I hear too many good things, it's really not interesting, and it's refreshing to watch the box office skyrocket.

Monday, January 2004, 1.As usual, Mme.times once again published the box office data in the mainland.

""The Wind" swept the box office again, with 5200 million yuan in a single week, accumulating the total box office to 23600 million yuan, becoming the second domestic film with a box office of over [-] million yuan in the mainland. And this year, another Lunar New Year production "Mobile" will be released this year. It will be released on Wednesday, director Feng Xiaogang said, "I'm not afraid of being squeezed by "The Wind"."

"Experts predict that the word-of-mouth and stamina of "The Wind" is still sufficient. Next week, it will surpass the 2.5 million of "Hero" and the final score should exceed 3 million. However, it is very difficult to surpass the 3.595 million of "Titanic."

data out.There are those who shout for surprises, and there are those who lament the box office monopoly.There are also those who insult and despise.

But none of them can stop the huge impact of "The Wind".Several leading actors have reached the peak of their careers.

For example, Zhou Xun is now catching up with Gong Li and has firmly secured the position of Huayi Brothers' first sister. Huadan, two big two small four Huadan.

Li Bingbing is even more directly comparable to the four little Huadans. Before Fan Ye had risen, someone had already shouted the slogan "Four Dans, One Ice".

Huang Xiaoming's status as the first brother of the flashing star is unbreakable, Sun Honglei also has the demeanor of a male god, although Chen Kun's performance is a bit subversive, but relying on the role of Bai Xiaonian, it still makes people's eyes shine, and he has become a popular niche acting school.Wang Zhi is still so well-known, he is a veteran of the acting school.

The actors gained fame and returned home, and Wan Xiaohu, as a director, was not bad, and his fans soared.Under his Mtime.com entry, he already has more than 30 followers.

There is also a group of fans, known as "Three Hundred Tigers", and Tigers are the ancient and brave guards, and the meaning is self-evident.Three Hundred Huben gathered the power of all netizens and made a special report, which was reviewed by Mtime.com and published on the homepage.

"Three Hundred Tigers: Guardian King Master Series [-]: In the footsteps of the times, the box office record of the Chinese film business master Wan Xiaohu."

The times are advancing, but Brother Hu does not stop!

In 2000, "Waiting Alone", 2180 million RMB in mainland China.

In 2000, "Butterfly Effect" earned RMB 5080 million in mainland China and USD 4510 million worldwide, or approximately RMB 37340 million.

In 2001, "My Sassy Girl" earned RMB 7860 million in mainland China and RMB 38460 million worldwide.

In 2002, "Infernal Affairs" earned RMB 15720 million in mainland China and RMB 26190 million worldwide.

In 2003, "Chain Saw", which was not released in mainland China, earned 1.03 million US dollars worldwide, or about 85335 million yuan.

In 2003, "The Wind", 23600 million yuan in mainland China, is still in theaters.

The combined box office of the movies has already passed the 20 billion RMB mark, definitely the top among all mainland directors.The only mainland director that can be compared is Zhang Yimou. The total box office of the 12 films is only 13 billion yuan ("Hero" has not yet been released in North America).

"Became the top-grossing director in mainland China in three years, Brother Hu is called a business master, no one dares to talk nonsense, right?" In the end, Three Hundred Tigers shouted arrogantly.

0228【Top Champion】

There is not much difference between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar in 2003. January 1 in the solar calendar is New Year's Eve in the lunar calendar.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming again, Wan Xiaohu has gradually fallen into the trap of human affection.Because there is really no time to go back to his hometown, and his younger brother Wan Xiaobin is also in the capital, Wan Xiaohu plans to bring his parents and younger sister to the capital for the New Year.This matter was left to Wan Xiaobin, and he took advantage of the new year to go through the contacts that should be moved.

It was still the slightly outdated Audi 6, driving on the wide roads of the capital.

The new GSM mobile phone was stuck to his ear, the scenery outside the window receded slowly, and the corner of Wan Xiaohu's mouth smiled faintly.

"I will be in the capital during the holidays this year. I may have a few days to socialize next year. You should pay attention to your health in Korea. I will go to Korea to see you when I have time. The script sent to you by the Tang people, take a good look. Now the mainland film market is not good enough. Boom, none of my movies are suitable for you as the heroine, so make a TV series first to strengthen your first sister status."
