rising director

The American version of "My Sassy Girl" could be said to have been a disastrous failure. It suffered hits in both mainland China and South Korea, and even hit home in North America.

This time, the country is generally not optimistic about "The Departed", and there are very few reporters.

Wan Xiaohu has seen the original version of "The Departed".Swearing, bloody, violent, and even vaguely satirizing socialism, even though Wan Xiaohu has already said hello to Martin Scorsese, don't involve the politics of the country concerned, and if he wants to release it in the mainland, it is probably still empty talk. You won't be able to get through.Therefore, it is not worth promoting.

Fans of Wan Xiaohu, on the other hand, had heated discussions about this film adaptation. In the words of a self-proclaimed fan of Wan Xiaohu's die-hard fan [The Little P Kid Playing Soy Sauce]: "The boss's movie is adapted by Hollywood, which is a symbol of the cow ratio. How many directors can make their films adapted by Hollywood!"

While some fans were having heated discussions about "The Departed", others shifted their targets.

"Back then, the boss himself told the media that the copyright of "Infernal Affairs" was not for sale. I thought he wanted to direct it himself. Why did he suddenly sell it now?" [Xiaoren Xiaosan] raised his own question.

To this. [Qi Gaoju] explained: "Pay attention to the news. The investor is Sasha Entertainment. Does Sasha Entertainment know? If you don't know, please ask the netizens downstairs to explain it to you."

[Buy a ticket for life] said: "In view of the invitation upstairs, let me explain. Sasha Entertainment is an American film company. It is said that it has been bought by the boss. Of course, it has not been confirmed yet. , There is no news report on this. But it should be close to each other. Several movies directed by the boss are all produced by Sasha Entertainment, so it is easy to find the problem."

"The above is too vague, let me popularize it." [Dragon Prison Ershuai] was not very satisfied with the upstairs, and added, "The official website of Sasha Entertainment Company stated that the company was established in 2000, and its business scope includes TV and movies. Production, distribution and sales of DVD and other audio-visual products, as well as printing publicity, packaging design posters, etc.”

"In 2003, the company was acquired by an offshore company called The-Tger-nd-Elegn-Inernonl-Investmen-Co. There is no introduction about this company, but there is a word 'Tger' in it. Everyone should know that this is The boss's domineering and coquettish name."

"Sasha Entertainment's first movie "Saw" was directed by the boss. The following year "Saw 2" and "Wanted" directed by the boss were produced. In March this year, "Butterfly Effect 3" was released, and just now The "Infernal Walker" that announced the investment is related to the boss."

"Let me introduce more. Sasha Entertainment has developed rapidly this year. At present, it has started to produce "Chain Saw 3", "Source Code" directed by the boss, "The Departed" directed by Scorsese and "" directed by Ron Howard. "The Da Vinci Code", it can be said that Sasha Entertainment has grown stronger and stronger, and the boss's career is booming."

[Kiss can't be touched] Expressed admiration: "The upstairs is really talented, it is difficult to find Ying's information, and the boss is the boss, Dandelion is so proud in China, I didn't expect that there is such a famous Sasha Entertainment in Hollywood."

【d123】Called: "I look forward to the boss's unification of Hollywood and the revitalization of Chinese films."

[ong20081001] even shouted: "Brother Tiger is not born in the sky, eternity is like a long night!"

Movie fans are pure, if they like someone, they hope that this person will become more and more awesome.All aspects are leading.As the director with the largest number of movie fans in China, Wan Xiaohu can be said to satisfy all the pride and fantasies of movie fans.Young and rich, single and unmarried, internationally famous and successful in career.

Such a director.If it is not attractive, no director can be attractive.

The only regret is that Wan Xiaohu is not a director who likes to show off, and rarely participates in film promotion, that is, the opening ceremony, premiere ceremony, and celebration banquet occasionally appear in public.All that's left is to be on some talk shows, award shows.Or go to Nortel to give lectures in class.

I seldom interact with fans, and the number of signatures has not exceeded 2000 so far.

This also led to one of his autographs, which can even fetch Wan'er 8000 yuan on the black market. Especially Wan Xiaohu's first fan organization "Three Hundred Tigers", many people did not sign, in order to prove that they are hardcore.Crazy looking to buy autographs but can't.They left messages on Wan Xiaohu's Mtime.com blog, asking for autographs.

The assistant told Wan Xiaohu the wishes of the fans, and Wan Xiaohu just shook his head lightly.

A long time ago, he longed for fame and was surrounded by fans.

But now I am somewhat escaping this life in front of the flashing lights, and I want to be a carefree behind-the-scenes staff, playing with unspoken rules, picking up celebrity girls, and living an ordinary life that no one knows.So he signed less and less.Attending less and less irrelevant film festivals, and not going to low-end talk shows.

When I have free time, I just hang around in my own small space, talking about love and writing scripts.

Enjoy the serenity after the glitz.

……

Before I knew it, time passed quickly, and it took more than a month in the blink of an eye for the Gulfstream G5 to go back and forth between Shanghai and Los Angeles.

In Millennium Park in Chicago, Song Hye Kyo and Chen Kun stood in front of a huge spherical bubble building made of stainless steel that can reflect the entire park.

"So. What do you want to do today?"

"I think we should be here a little longer, it feels like we're meant to be, right?"

"Card!"

Wan Xiaohu leaned against the back of the chair under the awning and picked up the horn.He shouted loudly: "This one is over, the next one... well, I think we're done."

"Aha, it's over!"

"It's over so soon."

"Where are you going to play in the afternoon?"

"I'm going to go shopping and buy some American imperial souvenirs to go back."

The surrounding employees left their posts one after another to exercise their muscles.

Wan Xiaohu crossed his legs and looked at everyone with a smile on his face. Every time he finished, he had a different feeling.But this time, the feeling is a little different. For the final effect of the large spherical bubble, the crew of "Source Code" specially flew to Millennium Park in Chicago, USA to shoot the scene.

As a Chinese-language sci-fi film, it had better not involve any plots to smear the Chinese government in order to pass the review of the radio and television. Therefore, the background was blurred by Wan Xiaohu.At the end of the movie, the hero and heroine arrive in a new parallel world, and the shot of standing in front of the spherical bubble is definitely a super classic, so Wan Xiaohu moved to Chicago to take the location.

Is it a co-production? Of course, it needs to be filmed in two places.

"Everyone pack up your things, we will return to China in two days, that is to say, there are two days left, let's have fun." Wan Xiaohu said loudly again holding the trumpet.

Naturally, everyone cheered: "The director is wise."

The cast and crew were given a holiday, but Wan Xiaohu himself did not. At present, all copies of "Source Code" have been shipped to the United States and placed in Santa Monica.Wan Xiaohu will direct "Kung Fu Panda" here while editing, and then send it to Dragon Hero Digital Matte Company to complete the post-production special effects.

"Liu Yang, I'm going back to Santa Monica today, you can help the crew take it back."

"Row."

"Then what, Lao Wu has already traveled the world to find his own direction in life. You should also think about it. After all, you have made so many films with me, you should also make some plans for your film career. When the script is finalized, come and find me." Wan Xiaohu patted Liu Yang on the shoulder.

Liu Yang took off the peaked cap on his head, scratched his hair, and said: "When you say that, I suddenly become nervous. I am a person who lacks my own opinions. I have a lot of fun making movies with others. I really want to be alone. Got it, I don’t feel like I have a clue.”

"A little bit of courage, okay? If others beg you to be a director, you won't have a chance. If you have a chance, give me back, you bastard?"

"Isn't this the first time, Brother Hu, you know, the first time, it is inevitable to be nervous."

"roll!"

"hey-hey!"

0265【Toronto Premiere】

"Source Code" was completed in June, and Wan Xiaohu edited it at the end of the month, and then sent it to post-production.

At the same time, Paramount, which had previously cooperated with "Wanted", continued to cooperate in global distribution, and its Asian region was handed over to Golden Harvest Entertainment.Because there are not many special effects shots, post-production does not take long, so the schedule was arranged early.

Relying on Paramount's distribution contacts and Wan Xiaohu's appeal as a director, "Source Code" has been confirmed by the Toronto Film Festival and will have its world premiere on September 2005, 9 as the opening film of the Toronto Film Festival. It will be released worldwide on October 7.

The Toronto International Film Festival is one of the most important film festivals in North America.Held every September in Toronto, Canada.Since the first Toronto International Film Festival was founded in 9, a total of nearly 1976 films have been presented to the world here, and about 6000 of them have been on the Oscar nomination list and podium.

Different from the three major European film festivals in Berlin, Cannes and Venice, the Toronto Film Festival is not mainly based on awards, but is famous for the large number of film screenings. It mainly serves the market.As the number of participating films continues to increase and the scale of transactions is getting bigger and bigger, the influence of the Toronto Film Festival is also growing.

Many films have chosen to premiere at the Toronto Film Festival.

After finalizing the various matters of "Source Code", Wan Xiaohu is busy directing "Kung Fu Panda" in Hollywood. The work of animation films is very boring and there are many links, but you will find it very interesting to really invest in it.The picture can be shaped arbitrarily, and everything is arbitrary.

At the end of August, Wan Xiaohu had to arrange work again, and then flew back to the capital.
