rising director

"Haha, today's Magic City Film Festival is very good." After Liu Dehua went up, Wan Xiaohu said to Liang Chaowei, "Andy Lau won the award, are you a little disappointed?"

"Why, I'm happy for him."

"It's hypocrisy. The competition between you and Hua Tsai for Best Actor is even more interesting than "Infernal Affairs". Hua Tsai will win the Golden Goblet Award first, and then there will be the Golden Horse Award and the Golden Statue Award. You all have chances. In the end, we still have to watch the competition for the Golden Horse and the Golden Statue.”

"I got it, and Andy got it, not all the movies are made well."

"Haha, that's what I said."

The two were talking below, while Liu Dehua gave his acceptance speech in high spirits on the stage.Of course I did not forget to thank Wan Xiaohu.In this way, "Infernal Affairs" returned from the [-]st Shanghai Film Festival with a full load.It was the first time to hit an award, and it won two awards in a row, causing waves in the media.

Wan Xiaohu, Liu Dehua, and Liang Chaowei are naturally the focus of the media.

But there was a dinner in the evening, and the three of them just talked about their feelings briefly.

"I am very happy to come to Shanghai. I am really happy to see the development of movies in mainland China is getting better and better. Of course. I am also very excited to get a golden bottle. I want to thank the people of Shanghai and the organizing committee. I wish the Shanghai Film Festival even better." Liu Dehua told reporters.

"I'm very happy. It's true. I'm happy for Hua Tsai to win the award." Liang Chaowei also said casually.

As a mainland director, Wan Xiaohu talked a lot.

Regarding winning the award, Wan Xiaohu is very humble: "I am surprised to be able to win the Best Director Award. The films that participated this time are all excellent, and anyone has the possibility of winning the award. In fact, coming here, winning the award is the next best thing." , Seeing that the Shanghai Film Festival is doing so well, I am very pleased, and Chinese films are getting better and better."

In response to a reporter saying that film festivals are not high-level but genre, and not mainstream at all, Wan Xiaohu shook his head: "Film festivals like Cannes and Berlin have been held for 50 years, and Shanghai Film Festival has just started. Every edition has new highlights. The progress is remarkable. It has just been held, so take your time. I hope everyone will not pour cold water on it, but support it more. If you support the film festival, we filmmakers can make better movies and give back to everyone by making good movies.”

As for the topic of Chinese films going out and facing Hollywood, Wan Xiaohu also gave his own answer: "Many people have talked about how to break into Hollywood, how to make differences, what kind of publicity, and how to change subtitles. Instead, I I feel that these are secondary, if you want to enter Hollywood, you must first watch what kind of movies American audiences like to watch.”

"I personally think that if you want to enter Hollywood, you must first hide your oriental philosophy. You can't use the banner of oriental philosophy to attract Americans. They won't understand it. You have to use the Western approach. Tell stories in a 'direct' and 'straightforward' way. This kind of straightforwardness does not mean that the plot is a straight line, but it can also be complicated, but first of all, you must tell the story clearly, without too many hints, or too much concealment. Lyrical."

"Because first you have to cater to Western tastes, and then you can talk about the output, and slowly change the audience's tastes, so that the movies enjoyed by Easterners can be appreciated by Westerners. From another perspective, you have to use Western narrative cloak to package Eastern The core of the story. Why can Hollywood be popular all over the world? You can understand it by looking at its packaging methods. They often invite local directors to make local films and add which set of Hollywood things. Over time, the tastes of local audiences will be changed. Assimilated by Hollywood."

A reporter asked again how the country could resist the assimilation of Hollywood. Wan Xiaohu said: "The country needs to vigorously support its own film industry. Events like the Magic City Film Festival need more, larger scale, and greater investment. And regularization, and then we need to do a good job in this market, combat piracy, and build hardware facilities. After doing these things well, with a market of more than one billion people in the country, we can completely turn the situation around and let foreign directors make movies to cater to our tastes , instead of us catering to others.”

"When Wang Xiaoshuai and I were eating together, we found it very difficult to make a movie because we couldn't get investment. We had to go abroad to get awards and bonuses for the next movie. I think, if our country We Chinese people support domestic films more, does it mean that these directors prefer to make films for their own people, rather than catering to the tastes of foreigners?"

Speak a heartfelt speech.Only then did Wan Xiaohu rush to the dinner.

Last year, Shanda Network split tens of millions of accounts, and this year it will split the accounts at the end of the year. If the profit is over [-] million, there is naturally a reason to eat and drink.

After eating and drinking, continue to run publicity campaigns to create momentum for "Infernal Affairs", which is currently being screened.

At the same time, the news of the Shanghai Film Festival also spread throughout the country.

""Infernal Affairs" is a sincere work, the best director rewards Wan Xiaohu, and the best actor Hua Tsai gets his name."

"Wan Xiaohu, the youngest winner of the Best Director Award at the International Film Festival."

"Word of mouth continues to explode. "Infernal Affairs" conquers the magic capital."

"The only bright spot of the Shanghai Film Festival is to use "Infernal Affairs" as a shield."

"The greatest joy of a two-hero film is the competition for the leading role award. "Infernal Affairs" Liu Dehua beat Liang Chaowei first."

"Wan Xiaohu talked freely about how Chinese films went out of the world, and a new generation of directors began to speak their voices!"

……

Along with the release of the movie, Liu Dehua and others continued to run publicity campaigns, while Wan Xiaohu stopped. As a director, he ran a few talk shows, and his mission was over.

Back to Dandelion Films.Enjoy the peace behind the hustle and bustle.

Take a look at the growing number of reviews that accompany the film's release.Thinking about the future, worrying about the preparations for "Crazy Racing" and "Sister Savage", learning more about life with Jun Zhixian, and bickering with Su Ya, it was a lot of fun.

It's a pity that Wan Xiaohu is too busy and can't take time off.It hasn't been quiet for two days, and it's busy again.

Since the Spring Festival, Su Jingxu got Wan Xiaohu's staff and decided to devote himself to the production of TV dramas. After several months of intensive preparations, coupled with Dandelion's funding.A TV drama production company called iQiyi was born.Its Dandelion Film Company holds 55% of the shares.

Su Jingxu, and several of his dog friends and fox friends are basically the second-generation officials who are not promising. Together they hold 45% of the company and are responsible for supporting the company and building a network of connections.

With a company, it is natural to start producing programs.

TV dramas are easy to do if they say they are easy to do, and they are not easy to do if they are not good. Wan Xiaohu has a lot of TV dramas in his mind, but he doesn’t have such a good memory. Copying all TV dramas is more about providing ideas for others to plan. make.This involves finding a professional gold medal maker.

There are not many gold medal pushers in China, but many!

Yu Zheng, Zhang Ji, Wang Zhonglei, and Chen Guofu are all first-class promoters, and Hong Kong and Taiwan have even more.But these people are not so easy to cooperate with. They all have their own influence network, and there are very few people without influence network.There is one person that Wan Xiaohu is looking up to right now, who hasn't gotten much better yet, and is running a small company to produce TV dramas.

This person's name is Cai Yinong, the president of Tangren Film Production Company in Shanghai.

"Brother Xu, you have to visit the thatched cottage three times, invite Cai Yinong over here, and then annex Tangren. I guarantee that in the next ten years, iQiyi will give you more than ten million in revenue every year."

"Is Cai Yinong really good?"

"What I see is the courage of this woman. She worked as a reporter in her early years, and later she worked as a coordinator for the Academy Awards. She started her own company at the age of 25. In 98, she returned to the mainland and opened Tangren in Shanghai. The planning of several TV dramas is well-planned. I believe I have The point mentioned above, coupled with her ability, can bring iQiyi to a higher level. Of course, the annexation of Tangren can’t be done recklessly. If you know it, you can move it with emotion and reason. First show your relationship network, and then tell her , I, Wan Xiaohu, came up with the idea behind it, I believe it will not be difficult to win."

Tang Ren is a small company. In the future, it will become a big success relying on "Legend of Sword and Fairy". Dandelion is already a leading domestic private enterprise. I believe that cooperation with Cai Yinong is a good choice.

……

The trifles have been cleared up. On June 6th, after detailed calculations, mme time.com completed the box office statistics for the first week of "Infernal Affairs".

And at the very top of the website, it is topped with bright red characters.
