"So you were forced to take the position of director, not what is rumored to be popular in the outside world, because you have plans to enter Hollywood and then go there."

"No, no, I always feel that my current abilities are still insufficient. If you go to a strange film industry system and shoot movies, your culture and thinking will definitely resist. If you can't create movies easily, your ability has not yet reached the level of being able to overcome these resistances. If you go, there will definitely be problems."

"Many people say that you went to Hollywood to shoot movies because your self-confidence has expanded. Now it seems that you still have a clear understanding of yourself and have not expanded yourself because of your previous success." Yang Lan spoke very nervously. All these conversations were not rehearsed, but just read the interview draft before.

After pausing, Yang Lan changed the topic: "At the 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards held on April 6 this year, "Infernal Affairs" won seven major awards, including the best film, best director, best screenwriter and best actor. But unfortunately, you failed to arrive at the scene. Some people even said that the reason you went to Hollywood to shoot movies was to avoid SARS in Hong Kong. Do you think there is any reason for this?"

The 22nd Hong Kong Film Awards in 2002 were still a great harvest of "Infernal Affairs". It received 12 nominations and won seven awards for Best Picture, Director, Screenwriter, Leader, Supporting Actor, Editing, and Original Songs. "Infernal Affairs" and "Hero" competed on the same stage, and "Hero" only won seven technical awards, which can be said to be completely defeated by "Infernal Affairs".

This was an opportunity to show off. However, at that time, Wan Xiaohu had decided to film "Saw" and did not attend the award ceremony. In fact, it was not just him, Wan Xiaohu. Mainland actors and directors such as Zhang Yimou, the creator of "Hero", did not attend the award ceremony.

SARS in Hong Kong are even more serious than SARS in Dongguang, and everyone is in danger.

Wan Xiaohu didn't attend the award ceremony, so he was naturally afraid of SARS. He had not enjoyed a good life, but he didn't want to take the risk of going to the severely affected area. He was not afraid of ten thousand, but was afraid of if he was. Once he was caught, even if the disease was cured, he would suffer from sequelae and his life would be ruined.

This award ceremony was also the lowest-modern session. SARS, Iraq War, and Leslie Cheung's suicide cast a shadow on the party.

The originally hyped battle between Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei's best actor was also widely publicized that it might be awarded directly to him because of commemoration of Leslie Cheung. However, it eventually came to Liu Dehua, causing Andy Lau, who lost the Golden Horse Awards, to be happy from the sky. He won the second Best Actor Award in his life.

Wan Xiaohu's best director was received by Mai Zhaohui on his behalf, and he read the award speech given by Wan Xiaohu.

"Thank you for the Golden Horse Awards, thank you for all the crew, thank you for everyone who is working for "Infernal Affairs". SARS does not praise Hong Kong people, I hope everyone will cheer up. Revitalize Hong Kong movies and revitalize Chinese-language movies!"

Since the Golden Horse Awards, Wan Xiaohu won the second grand prize in his life, but he was unable to receive it in person.

There is no regret.

I can only comfort myself that I am still young and have many opportunities in the future. If a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, there is no need to take risks.

My thoughts turned back to "Yang Lan's Interview".

How could Wan Xiaohu admit that he was afraid of death? If he dared to admit it, he would wait to be scolded to death. Besides, he really didn’t have time, so he said loudly: “I’m not worried about SARS. Now for me, there is not enough time. Just talk about today’s interview. I originally planned to take a day off. I just came back from the United States and the jet lag has not even reversed. However, there have been many personal controversies outside recently, and I have to wait for a while to film "The Sound of the Wind" again, so I have to take this opportunity to explain it.”

"You are indeed busy enough. We have no time to rehearse this interview today." After Yang Lan said that, the camera switched to a narrator film.

This is the style of "Yang Lan's Interview", an interview interspersed with a story.

"Wan Xiaohu, born in 1980, grew up in an ordinary textile worker family. He was admitted to the Director Department of the Beijing Film Academy in 1998. In 2000, Wan Xiaohu, who was still a sophomore, made the most important decision in his life to shoot a movie. With a hard-working investment of 500,000 yuan, he shot "Waiting Alone" and achieved a high box office of 21.8 million yuan in the subsequent release."

The movie "Waiting Alone" is played in the picture. Wan Xiaohu is wearing a suit, her hair is shiny, holding a cigarette in her hand, and holding her head up: "I won't..."

Then he changed the cigarette and held it in one hand and continued the second half of the sentence: "...I want to discuss it again."

"The great success of "Waiting Alone" has allowed this director who likes to play guest roles in his own movies to truly embark on the road of directors. In the same year, he filmed his second movie "Butterfly Effect", which created the best box office results of domestic films in North America."

The picture switched to the movie scene of "Butterfly Effect". The male protagonist played by Chen Kun is scolding his younger brother, one of whom is the Sanqi development type, which is Wan Xiaohu.

"In 2001, Wan Xiaohu filmed "My Savage Girlfriend", which caused a large-scale sensation in Asia. For a time, Savage Girlfriend became the criterion for choosing a partner in the minds of many young people, causing them to follow suit. The box office of the movie was also excellent, creating a box office record of Chinese-language movies in South Korea, with 4 million viewers."

The picture switched to the movie "My Savage Girlfriend" again, with Wan Xiaohu, Ning Hao and Cheng Er eating hot pot around the small table.

"The film that laid the foundation for Wan Xiaohu's commercial film master was "Infernal Affairs" filmed in 2001 and released in 2002. After the film was released, it achieved outstanding results in the second box office of Chinese films in the mainland and third in the Hong Kong box office. It also won many awards such as the Golden Horse Awards, Best Director, Best Film, and Best Actor Awards, and has achieved both reputation and box office success."

"The fortune teller said that I was a general who had achieved success and had thousands of bones bleed..." The movie scene turned into "Infernal Affairs". Zeng Zhiwei sent his younger brother to the police school to be an undercover agent in the temple. One of the younger brothers was Wan Xiaohu, standing dullly in the crowd.

Crazy. The camera switches back to the scene.

It seems to be coherent, but it is actually edited. The interview was rested for a while and then reappeared, which caused the audience's applause.

Yang Lan said: "I'll forget it. You started filming a movie in March 2000. It's been three years since then. And there are four movies that you have finished filming and released. Now the fifth movie "The Wind" is still being filmed, and the sixth movie "Saw" has been filmed?"

"Yes."

"We also need to include the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" you mentioned before, and the "Qin Times Ming Yue" that has not yet been released. It means that you have created eight works in three years. Let's calculate the works you participated in and produced. Wow, this is really a huge project, no wonder you said you are very busy."

Wan Xiaohu shrugged: "I am full of inspiration now, and I always want to create more works while I am still young and energetic."

"Do you feel very tired? If I put it on me, I will definitely be exhausted."

"A question of interest is like when we take physical education class and let you run for a walk, you feel exhausted. But if you are sweating profusely, you don't feel tired even if you are sweating. Interest can make you concentrate and energetic."

"That's the truth. But I still have to praise you. I have accomplished so many things, and I'm so successful, outstanding, and it's absolutely something that people can do. There is a detail I always want to ask, which is "Saw". Do you think it's a low-cost horror film that was filmed in one month?"

"The script was written earlier. To be precise, after I went to the United States, I polished the script for three days, arranged the shooting venue in five days, selected the role in one day, and finished the shooting in nineteen days, and took a 28-day shooting cycle."

"It's a little too fast in less than a month, right?"

"Actually, it's not very fast. It only took me a month to film "Waiting Alone". Some movies do not require a long production cycle. For Hollywood, $2 million is like "Waiting Alone" with 500,000 yuan in mainland China. The salary and prices in Hollywood are more expensive."

"I'll ask for movie fans when will it be released?"

"I'm not very clear about the release schedule, because I am responsible for filming and the distribution is left to Lionsgate Film Company to operate. Let's see their arrangements. If possible, it will be released before this year's Christmas."

"Is "The Wind" sure to be released in December? Fans are blessed to be able to watch two movies you made."

"Haha." Wan Xiaohu smiled. Mainland audiences of "Saw" may have no hope of seeing it, and the 90% chance of review will not pass.

Just after I finished speaking, another feature film.

"Wan Xiaohu in 2003 spent his time busy and criticism. With the release of "Hero", the box office of "Infernal Affairs" was squeezed to second place. In terms of the title of commercial film master, mainstream media and some viewers responded fiercely. Some people think that Wan Xiaohu is not yet a master, while others think that Wan Xiaohu's outstanding performance in the commercial field is enough to be competent."

The movie "Infernal Affairs" was played on TV. Liu Dehua was handcuffed and Liang Chaowei pressed his gun against his head. The background was Hong Kong Island and the blue sky.

"2003 was also the year when Wan Xiaohu's plan changed the fastest. At the end of last year, he announced that he would direct two cartoons and finally resigned as the director of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and decided to shoot the domestic spy war blockbuster "The Sound of the Wind". Just as all viewers were looking forward to "The Sound of the Wind", Wan Xiaohu suspended filming and filmed another movie "Saw" in Hollywood."

The movie "Saw" brought by Wan Xiaohu began to be played on TV, which are some unedited copy materials.

"And the controversy over Wan Xiaohu reached its peak at this time..."

Back in the studio, Yang Lan asked with a smile: "Wan Xiaohu, I have an open letter you posted on Time. I will read it to everyone. 'I am Wan Xiaohu, I am in Hollywood, and I am filming... This is my Wan Xiaohu, the most unique director in the world!' A very unique letter, followed by a song by Faye Wong's "Stupid and Unregret" by Faye Wong. Is this your most thought?"

Wan Xiaohu laughed: "It was written under impulse, but it's quite funny to think about it now..."
