rising director

"Handsome, so handsome!"

In fact, this set of actions, the throwing in the front is taken from the 2013 film "Raid" co-produced by the United States and Indonesia, and the kicking in the back is from "Ninja 2013" starring Scott Adkins in 2. These are all martial arts movements that are very impressive in Wan Xiaohu's mind.

Put it in "Wanted" to detonate the visual effect.

The performance of the audience, the screams and exclamations one after another, is the recognition of these actions.

"You're finished!"

On the big screen, the car flipped sideways into the air, and in slow motion, Chen Kun pulled out his pistol with a long voice, and shot twice at the sunroof of a bulletproof car below.

"Wow!"

"so cool."

"It's so handsome!"

"Damn it. Oh my God!"

When Chen Kun raised his head from the scope of the sniper rifle, he said softly to the big screen: "What have you been doing recently?"

The screen suddenly went dark and the subtitles rose.

"Director: Wan Xiaohu."

"Screenwriter: Wan Xiaohu."

"Wanted Order."

Crash la la la, the applause is not one second or two seconds, nor is it sparse.But non-stop.It seems that the audience doesn't clap their hands like this, which is not enough to express their excitement after watching the movie.

"Nima, when will the Chinese director be able to make such a cool movie, the special effects and movements are simply against the sky, the keyboard hits people, and the keys fly out. With the teeth, although I can't understand English, I feel handsome. How did you come up with the idea of ​​killing people through the sunroof of a car? They can spin in circles and fly over donuts. And that fox, so beautiful and cool. It’s so awesome to laugh at!”

"What are you looking at? I don't know how many scenes have been edited. The foreign version is called cool. It's punched to the flesh and blood is splashed."

"You guys are exaggerating. The plot of the movie feels a bit nonsense. It's just fighting and killing along the way. There's not even a love scene."

"What you're watching is the scene, the special effects. You want to talk about love ass."

It's the end of 2004, and it's not like future blockbuster visual effects movies. The scenes in "Wanted Warrant" can almost be said to be as popular a few years later, but now it is naturally a big deal. The playing time of "The Matrix" stunned the audience for a while, not to mention the stimulation such as "Wanted".

With the large-scale release of movies in China, their influence is growing.

The first thing the young man said when they met was: "What have you been doing recently?"

Then the content of the chat.It is to discuss whether the bullet will turn, whether the 360-degree circle can be realized, and whether the ultra-long-range sniper can be achieved.Or Fa Ge has too few scenes, Jessica Alba is too beautiful, and Chen Kun is too rubbish.Chen Daoming is too gloomy and so on.

For a while, it seems that if you don't watch "Wanted Warrant", you are out of date.

On the Mme time website, the ratings quickly exceeded more than 5. It was not as good as the previous films directed by Wan Xiaohu, but it was not low, with 8.1 points.The main reason is that most people voted for four stars, thinking that the movie is gorgeous to the point of pretending, but the story is too thin, and after watching it, what they remember is the special effects and action scenes, and there are not so many memorable places.

In the words of Mtime.com user [Han Yi]: "Don't worry about the depth of the plot in this kind of blockbuster imitating Hollywood. After all, it is based on action performance. The fighting is indeed very intense. It's fun to watch, it doesn't take it seriously." He gave it four stars.

"That's right, when I saw the arc flying, I almost didn't jump up, it was so enjoyable." [gengn] also gave it four stars.

"Three stars for the plot, five stars for the picture, let's sum it up..." [Jian Ming] is also four stars.

"While watching "The Wind", I felt that Wan Xiaohu imitated Hollywood too much. Only after watching "Wanted Warrant" did I realize that Wan Xiaohu has already surpassed the blue. Although there is no nutrition, I still have to support it!" [qhong] gave Five stars.

"I can accept flicking and turning, but isn't the 360-degree suicide at the end too exaggerated?" [Road to Lost Self] only gave two stars.

"You can accept flicks and turns, why can't you accept 360-degree turns?" [I am a dragon] asked back, and he gave it five stars.

"You only saw the flick and turn, but I think the melee combat in it is very cool, especially the one who jumps up and kicks people with fake moves, so cool to say." [Xuelong] Four stars.

"After all, it's an adaptation of American manga. In fact, it doesn't matter if it's a Chinese film or not. It just sells special effects. Wan Xiaohu is becoming more and more commercialized now. I've been looking forward to another "Infernal Affairs". It's a pity that I can't ask for it!" 2204] Only one star was given.

"Wanted" is indeed overly commercialized, and word of mouth can only be said to be a passing grade.But from the very beginning, Wan Xiaohu didn't plan to play any kind of deep, storytelling, no matter how good the storytelling is in Chinese films, the success will be a problem.The faces of Chinese people are hard to recognize for foreigners.

It's like most Chinese people can't recognize foreigners. The East and the West suffer from face blindness.So many Chinese stars are accepted by Hollywood, the only way is Kung Fu.

"Commercialization is just a means to accumulate technology. As far as I am concerned, I don't like purely commercial films. I think Huayi Brothers' current investment direction should be to develop the mainland market. In fact, Chinese I don’t necessarily like watching Hollywood movies, local light comedies and the like, as long as the quality improves, there will definitely be a lot of audiences.”

In a private club in Beijing.Wan Xiaohu said casually while enjoying the massage from the veteran technician.

Today is Huayi Brothers' Wang Jun's treat. He invited many business owners to the clubhouse to discuss Huayi Brothers' financing plan.Now Huayi Brothers spans film and television, artist management, records, advertising and other businesses, and the family has a big business.Preparation plans to establish a media group.

Wan Xiaohu was drawn to invest.Ma Yun and others also came together.

Although he has his own entertainment company, investing in Huayi Brothers is still a good decision. It can not only increase his influence in the industry, but also expand his territory. Why not do it.

"Wan Dao still values ​​the mainland market now?" Ma Yun's thin body trembled wildly from being rubbed by the technician.

As the CEO of Alibaba.Jack Ma started his business with e-commerce, and he has a way of investing. He not only plays with e-commerce, but also has a lot of ideas about the entertainment industry. He invested in Huayi Brothers very early.

"Of course, the film industry is a sunset industry in Europe and the United States, but it is a sunrise industry in the Mainland. The cake is very big."

"Director Wan earns more than us by making a movie. I thought you were going to Hollywood instead of developing in China."

"President Ma, what you said is wrong. The little money you earn from making movies is not as fast as going public. Although I make movies with a lot of scenery, I just want to draw a scene. In comparison, I am still very optimistic about it." Alipay, otherwise it would not have invested. Now I look forward to Alipay’s success under the leadership of Mr. Ma.”

"Wan Dao is too modest. A "Wanted" box office plus peripherals, I am afraid that it can earn hundreds of millions of dollars. How long did Alipay develop to reach such a scale."

At the end of this year, Jack Ma created Alipay for Taobao, the first batch of financing list.Wan Xiaohu was impressively listed and obtained 10% of the shares.In Ma Yun's view, Wan Xiaohu invested purely because he had money and nowhere to spend it. What really made money was making movies. A "Wanted Warrant" made him greedy to death.

It's a pity that Dandelion is not short of money and has always refused to raise funds, so he took the next best thing and invested in Huayi Brothers in his own name.

But except for Wan Xiaohu who knows the potential of Alipay, everyone now looks like investing in Wan Xiaohu's movies is definitely the most profitable.

With the passage of time, the new year is approaching little by little, and the global box office journey of "Wanted" is gradually coming to an end.

After winning the global championship for three weeks, he finally gave up the title.In the three-day weekend from January 1th to 14th in North America, it earned US$16 million, ranking seventh, with a total box office of US$960 million in North America.It squeezed out the US$17240 million "Polar Express" and became the tenth place in the 16278 North American box office list.

The goal now is to overtake the US$18674 million disaster blockbuster "The Day After Tomorrow", which ranks seventh on the North American box office list.

In China, in the new week, according to the data of Mmetime.com, "Wanted" once again won 7800 million yuan, with a total box office of 19500 million yuan.This momentum is not insignificant. If it were any mainland film company, with this data, they would have jumped up and cheered.

But Wan Xiaohu was a little dissatisfied. This momentum was stronger than expected, but it was only slightly higher than the box office of "The Wind" in the same period. It was very difficult to hit the box office record of "Titanic".

"Xiaohu, you are already very good. If you can't do it this time, it will be the next time. Sooner or later, you will break me." Lying on the bed, Li Bingbing said contentedly.

Wan Xiaohu put his arms around Li Bingbing's shoulders, felt the smoothness of her skin, and raised his eyebrows: "It's true, the market is strong enough, and now the overall market is going downhill. If you can get [-] million, you should be content." Then , turned to look at Li Bingbing's covered chest: "I am satisfied with the box office, but I am not satisfied with sports, let's continue! Haha!"

what……

Bang, bang.

On the bedside table, a newspaper was shaken and slid to the ground. On the opened page, there was a big headline: ""Wanted" hits a new record in global box office, accumulating 3.46 million US dollars."
