"The new Chinese director Wan Xiaohu is about to change his career!"

Just when the popularity of "Infernal Affairs" had not subsided, the entertainment industry suddenly threw a bombshell, and the thunder broke everyone.

The 22-year-old director, Wan Xiaohu, the first sixth-generation director, is known as a master. He just shined in a brilliant film. Among the domestic filmmakers, a director who can grab the box office and play Hollywood blockbusters has finally been born. He announced that he would not make movies anymore.

The first thought of everyone is that this is an unscrupulous media that is hyping up rumors.

But many regular newspapers and magazines have published such a message and can't help but believe it.

After believing it, I was stunned.

It can be said that mainland audiences are all hoping that Wan Xiaohu can create new glory and lead Chinese films out of the predicament. Not to mention punching Hollywood, they also have to at least play Southeast Asia, make for forty or fifty movies and then retire.

He was only 22 years old and had only made four movies, so he decided not to make movies. It was simply impossible to find Bei.

"Is success coming too quickly, lacking interest, or is it that the talent is over and the rapid retreat?"

"Wan Xiaohu always makes people unexpected. When we think that the young director is going to fall, he succeeds again and again. When we think that the new master's future is limitless, he suddenly bid farewell to the film industry. Wan Xiaohu, can you make a little more trouble?"

"The director's shame, if you don't make movies and make cartoons? This is not that your childlike innocence is still alive, it is that you will fall into depravity!"

"Who is here to persuade Wan Xiaohu, don't waste your future!"

"The movies that audiences need to be made by you are not wanting to see the cartoons you are making!"

"Even if you shoot a TV series, it's more convincing than a cartoon. Is it April Fool's Day now?"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves. Under the slight rendering of the media, the news that Wan Xiaohu did not make a movie seemed to have a hundred pairs of wings. It flew all over the country in an instant. Wan Xiaohu's fans, who had just grown up because of "Infernal Affairs", had not yet admired their idols for a few days before they encountered this incident. They immediately broke out in collective protests. Everyone suggested that they go to the door of Dandelion Film Company in Beijing to march and demonstrate.

In order to increase the momentum, fans leave messages on major forums, and Time Post Bar is the key publicity area.

The meeting posts have flooded the major posts.

Responsible people gathered.

Not only the fans, but also the friends in Wan Xiaohu's circle also called and asked Wan Xiaohu what was going on, why was he so tired of making cartoons? You should say that animated movies are good, but they are cartoons. Domestic cartoons are irritating to think about. Is that the work done by a director?

In Dandelion Office, Su Ya looked at the newspaper and said with a twitch: "Tiger, after "Infernal Affairs", you became popular again, and you are scolding you for being degenerate."

"As for it, am I just shooting a cartoon?" Wan Xiaohu was also depressed, and his reaction was beyond his imagination.

"There's no way. Who says that the expectations of you in China are too high now? They almost treat you as the savior of Chinese films. Now the media and audience are arguing. How should "Infernal Affairs" win the award? Who will win the Best Actor in Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei? Can you win the Best Director of the Golden Horse and the Youngest Best Director?"

"Hey, when people become popular, there are so many right and wrong."

"Take it. Keep it. Hurry up and solve this problem. Now your fans are in contact online and are coming to the Dandelion parade and demonstration. I don't want to be blocked one day."

"Look, the Huabiao Award is coming. When I go to the award ceremony, I will hold a press conference."

Wan Xiaohu is worried and happy.

The 8th Huabiao Awards were two weeks later than in previous years and were awarded on September 13.

Wan Xiaohu is the guest of the award presentation and also the winner. Although "Infernal Affairs" is a standard Hong Kong film, it is still under the banner of co-production when it is pushed. After all, the investor is Dandelion Film Company, and it is said that co-production is in line with the rules. With the reputation of "Infernal Affairs", he naturally won the Outstanding Co-production Award.

Standing on the podium, Wan Xiaohu held the award certificate in one hand and the golden trophy in the other, smiling.

"I'm very happy that Infernal Affairs has won the Outstanding Foreign Co-production Award. Mainland and Hong Kong films are both Chinese films and Chinese-language films. They will definitely work harder and closer together in the future. I hope that they can work together in the future without distinguishing each other and making contributions to Chinese films together. Thank you."

The Huabiao Award is a government award. The award given to Wan Xiaohu shows that Wan Xiaohu has recognized this newcomer who has risen in two years in the government.

When Wan Xiaohu won the award, it was natural to be excited.

The box office journey of "Infernal Affairs" has almost come to an end. What is about to begin now is the road to winning. No matter whether it is a big or small prize, as long as you win the prize, it is a happy event!

The award ceremony ended, and it was already past ten o'clock, and Wan Xiaohu held a press conference in the CCTV lobby.

The reporter came here early to occupy a seat, and the entire hall was afraid that there were no less than 100 reporters, and they were crowded together. I have to say that Wan Xiaohu's popularity is definitely higher than that of the biggest stars in China. He is of the same level as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai, and Feng Xiaogang is almost there.

Looking at the dark reporters and the bright flashlights, Wan Xiaohu had a kind of ambition to guide the country.

This is the focus of everyone's attention now!

"I am not very grateful for so many friends from the press. This time, I took advantage of the opportunity of the Huabiao Award to hold this press conference, mainly to explain some things. Last time, I was interviewed in a hurry and did not explain the matter clearly. This caused a great misunderstanding. Many people mistakenly thought that I had changed my career, which is incorrect."

Wan Xiaohu's eyes were hurt by the flashing lights, and she didn't wear sunglasses today, so she covered her hands: "I'm very happy to shoot movies now. At least I have to insist on making movies for a hundred years without wavering, haha. Last time I said I wanted to shoot cartoons, which is true, but I just have this idea for the time being and want to try two cartoons. You also know that I have made four movies in two years, which are very productive and very tired. I relax by filming cartoons, and then conceive the fifth movie."

"What kind of cartoon is it?" a reporter asked.

Wan Xiaohu answered patiently and well, "There will be two cartoons, one for preschool children, the name is tentatively set to "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", and the other for teenagers. The name is tentatively set to "The Moon of Qin". I am still thinking about it, making cartoons is a very different job than making movies, with a long cycle and a particular method. I mainly make technical reserves and learn animation shooting techniques, because I have plans to make animation movies in the future."

The reporters were obviously not interested in cartoons. They went directly over these two cartoons and asked: "Director Wan, what animated movie is going to make?"

Wan Xiaohu was speechless: "I just said I had plans and had no idea. I am now mainly filming "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "The Ming Yue of Qin..."

Before he finished speaking, the reporter interrupted below: "Dr. Wan, "Infernal Affairs" won a super good box office, and is the hottest Golden Horse Awards to be held this year. What everyone is most concerned about is Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei. Who can win the Best Actor? As the Director, who thinks he is better?"

After blinking, Wan Xiaohu said to himself: "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" tells the story of a sheep village on the green grassland. There is an old village chief, Slow Sheep, and a few lambs. Xi Yangyang, Lazy Sheep, Beautiful Sheep... There is a wolf castle not far away, and a gray wolf lives in the wolf castle. With his wife Red Wolf, maybe a little wolf will have in the future..."

"Director Wan, "Infernal Affairs" can be said to have brought the four actors and your career to its peak. Do you think it was the director who created the story, or the script who created the story?"

"The Ming Yue of Qin" tells a passionate and inspiring story of a young man with heroic blood flowing in his body. He eventually grew into a hero and changed the course of history with his own strength. I set this story to integrate martial arts, fantasy, and history. After unifying the six kingdoms of Qin Shihuang, the thirty years after the Chu army conquered Xianyang, the famous heroes and various schools of thought appeared on the stage..."

"Director Wan, it is reported that the copyright of "Infernal Affairs" has been widely praised recently. All countries plan to remake the "Infernal Affairs" genre film. You have led a trend. But we also found that while "Infernal Affairs" swept across Asia and even Europe and the United States, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" is not very outstanding overseas. What do you think of this phenomenon of Chinese-language films going abroad but blooming but not bearing fruit?"

"My plan is to make these two cartoons into a series of series, and then make cartoon movies after success. Domestic animations have always been weak in marketing, so how to explore them in business are all topics that I am very interested in. Hollywood's film industry is getting more and more advanced now. The big reason is that the improvement of CG animation technology is that we cannot fall behind too much. Researching animation and researching technology is my pursuit."

The reporter only asked about "Infernal Affairs", and Wan Xiaohu was only talking about "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "The Moon of Qin". It seemed that the press conference was lively, but in fact it was just nonsense.

Wan Xiaohu can feel the reporter's contempt for cartoons. They don't know how much these two cartoons will advance China's animation industry. With the improvement of CG animation technology, cartoons will be a powerful tool to grab box office in the future.

Take "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" which does not require any technology. Starting from the first big movie "The Great" in 2009, the 86 million yuan, every year, a big movie has a box office of over 100 million yuan. The profitability of brand management is definitely awesome.

On the eve of Wan Xiaohu's rebirth, the box office of "Frozen" was almost soaring to $1 billion, and the movie was still being released at that time, and the box office road was not over yet, and 1.1 billion US dollars was not difficult. After all, Wan Xiaohu could not give up on the animation field.

A press conference ended in a completely different way, with a bad lip on the horse's mouth.

It is imperative that Wan Xiaohu shoots cartoons, and the reporter's concern "Infernal Affairs" is still heading towards the awards.

Time flies by.

At 10:30 p.m. on November 16, 2002, the 39th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards announced the nomination for this year's finalist film.

"Infernal Affairs" leads the Golden Horse Awards with 12 nominations!
