With money, the only thing that cannot be bought is time. As time goes by, the filming of "Never End" has come to an end. Finally, on June 20, "Never End" was completed. After the celebration, Wan Xiaohu devoted himself to the editing.

He also found a Hollywood movie soundtrack master, Hans Jimo, to do a soundtrack for the movie.

Because from the beginning of this movie, it will no longer be distributed by large studios, but Sasha Entertainment and Jiahe Entertainment will independently undertake global distribution, so the publicity must be more effective. Wan Xiaohu was originally lazy about publicity, and he was unwilling to go to other countries to promote it except China and the United States.

This time, I had to cheer up and follow the movies around the world to participate in interview programs around the world.

The first stop is to participate in the 63rd Venice Film Festival this year. "Never End" has been confirmed to be selected for the non-contest screening unit, only screenings and not participating. After all, how can a commercial film participate in the award pursuit of art films?

At this year's Venice Film Festival, Chinese films are a hot topic.

Hong Kong director Johnnie To's "Let's Go. Chase", Taiwanese director Tsai Mingliang's "Dark Eyes" and sixth-generation director Jia Zhangke's "Good Man in the Three Gorges" were both shortlisted for the competition unit, competing for the highest award Golden Lion Award. "Baby Project" directed by Chen Musheng was selected for the midnight screening unit, and "The Court on the Horseback" directed by Liu Jie will participate in the competition for the best film award in the Horizon Unit.

Jia Zhangke also directed a documentary "East", becoming a strong contender for the Horizon Unit Best Documentary Award. Taiwanese director Zheng Youjie's "Early the Year" was shortlisted for the "International Critics Week" unit of the Venice Film Festival.

"Night Banquet" directed by Feng Xiaogang is also selected into the non-contest screening unit, just like Wan Xiaohu's "Never End".

So a long time ago, Wan Xiaohu, Feng Xiaogang, Jia Zhangke and Zhangke were going to come to receive the award, so they contacted each other and gathered together after arriving in the water city of Venice.

Of course, before Venucia went to Venice, Wan Xiaohu first started to promote the United States. The main battlefield of the movie was always North America. On the one hand, the post-production of "Never End" was completed at the Dragon Hero Company, and on the other hand, "Kung Fu Panda" was about to reach the final stage. In a few months, you can start choosing dubbing.

Under such circumstances, Wan Xiaohu was interviewed by Diane Sawyer, the host of "Good Morning America" ​​in a studio in New York Square.

Diane Sawyer is a middle-aged woman and a typical representative of the American dream. She went from a country girl to the leading actress of ABC TV in the United States step by step. She was also a press assistant at the White House during the Nixon era. After Nixon stepped down, she assisted him in writing his autobiography.

It makes many people envious and admire.

The entire studio was decorated with posters of "Never End". On the live broadcast stage are two sofas and a very small coffee table that only has two water cups. Several cameras are set up below, and under the stage are more than 100 young American men and women, all of whom are here to participate in the program interaction.

"Good Morning America" ​​is the second highest ratings program in the United States after NBC's "Today Show". Recently, it surpassed "Today Show" to become the champion.

The programs are divided into several sections such as news, interviews, and entertainment, and most of them are live broadcasts.

"Well, Well, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to "Good Morning America". I am the host of the live broadcast Diane Sawyer. Today I was a young director Wan Xiaohu from China and popular all over Hollywood." Diane sat on the sofa and shouted dynamically to the camera.

More than a hundred young people on the scene immediately cheered.

Wan Xiaohu waved to the camera that flashed the red light of the live broadcast signal: "Hi, I'm Wan Xiaohu."

This interview section is a talk show, which will last for half an hour and is very fast.

"You're here today, we know again, your movie is about to be released."

"Obviously yes."

"What does "Never End" mean? You can turn into a science fiction movie with medicine?"

"Yes."

"Can you tell us more in detail?"

"Uh, the protagonist took a very good medicine, and then became Superman in minutes, punched Nanshan Nursing Home and kicked Beihai Kindergarten. Everything under one meter could be put down. No one dared to stand and talk while standing. Except for underwear inside, it was no different from Superman, it was very powerful." Wan Xiaohu said seriously.

"Wow, it sounds amazing."

"Otherwise, how can you be the protagonist? In fact, compared with ordinary science fiction films, the protagonist can always save all humanity, which is already very weak. When I was filming, I told the protagonist that the task of saving the world will be handed over to me as the director, and you can just be busy helping me earn box office."

"Your division of labor is very clear."

“It must be, we are a team.”

"Haha, "Never End" is your ninth film, oh, it should be considered the tenth film. Although you have only made one Hollywood movie, your Chinese film always brings us greater surprises. In the United States, you have a lot of fans, who all hear you coming and come to support you on site." Diane said, pointing to more than 100 people in the audience.

Wan Xiaohu said in surprise: "Are there two hundred people?"

Diane shrugged: "To be precise, it's 112."

"Well, there are a lot of 112 people. I believe that after "Never End" is released, it will definitely exceed 200 fans. I am very confident."

"Maybe." Diane nodded in cooperation.

Obviously, this kind of serious conversation has a different kind of humor. Whether it is more than 100 people on the scene or the audience in front of the TV, including Wan Xiaohu's "qingen" Jessica Alba, they all burst into laughter. Wan Xiaohu won't be funny easily, and if he really wants to force him to the occasion, he can still be humorous.

I was chatting and fucking, and I promoted the movies and the program was in full swing.

It's not just funny, but more about communicating happily.

"After "Saw", you didn't shoot movies in Hollywood. You made three very popular Chinese films in a row. Although we all like to watch them, I believe your fans prefer you to come to Hollywood to shoot. When will you agree to this request?"

"I actually don't mind shooting Hollywood movies or shooting Chinese movies. It's just that because I'm Chinese, I'm more familiar with the shooting environment in China. So in general, I choose to shoot Chinese movies. After all, there are many Hollywood movies released every year. I think American audiences can see a lot of English-speaking movies, but they rarely see Chinese-speaking movies, and I can provide a choice."

"That is, you won't come to Hollywood to make movies?"

"meeting."

"Are you going to or not? You confused me."

"It depends on whether there is a good script. If I receive a script or I think of a story, I think Chinese films are better. I will shoot Chinese films. If Hollywood is more suitable, of course I will choose to shoot in Hollywood. I still have a long time in my career, and there is plenty of time for me to consider how to shoot."

"I think we'll all look forward to it. Well, we've talked too much, and the audience can't wait below. Let's ask them what they want to say to you." Diane looked at the time and began to change the topic.

A white young man was named first.

"I love Saw, I want to know, you'll still shoot horror movies like this, it's so classic."

"Everything is possible." Wan Xiaohu said with a smile.

"When will the sequel to "Wanted Order" be released?" asked another young black man.

"I don't know either. I don't care much about the sequel plan. This is something that investment companies need to worry about, but I think there should be a sequel, sooner or later."

"Do you have a girlfriend?" asked a beautiful girl.

Wan Xiaohu laughed: "Can you please stop asking me too personal questions? There are two Wan Xiaohu, one is director Wan Xiaohu, and the other is Wan Xiaohu in life. Now the director Wan Xiaohu is sitting here."

"Okay, I'll change the question." The beauty was a little disappointed, but on this kind of question, Wan Xiaohu was absolutely unwilling to reveal one more word. She could only ask again, "Do you believe in parallel worlds? I mean, is the end of "Source Code" a real world, or is it just a continuation of the source code plan?"

"Usually, you should all know that the director did this on purpose and gave you an ambiguous answer. But I can answer that I personally do not support the parallel world theory. I don't think we should spend too much energy on fantasizing about what will happen to another world. We should grasp the present moment. If you really only have one minute left, what are you going to do?"

"I want to kiss you." The little beauty said barefootly without hiding it.

"Kiss, kiss, kiss." The young man below began to cheer.

"Can I do it? It's just a kiss." The beauty pressed step by step.

Wan Xiaohu flattened his mouth and blinked quickly.

The foreign beauties are a little too enthusiastic. They just said a few words and wanted to... this is not good.

"Well, well, well." Diane Sawyer clapped his hands, and the camera switched the picture to her close-up. "Today I'm happy to have a chat with Wan Xiaohu, the world's most outstanding young director, and what he brought us, the story about the movie "Never End". Let's watch the next paragraph of "Good Morning America" ​​and see you later."

Smack, the advertisement began.

Wan Xiaohu, who then left New York Square, received a call from Jessica Alba.

"Dear Tiger, are you kissing with that beautiful girl? I'm curious?"

"you guess."

"From what I know about you, I must have kissed you."

Wan Xiaohu immediately said to the phone with a bitter face: "I am a very conservative Chinese good man."

"No, no, Tiger, you are just conservative in certain concepts, you are never conservative in actions. Tell me, have you kissed or not, I'm just curious."

"This is a secret, let me know to you at night."
