As expected, on the Laba Festival, the 11th Cross-Strait and Hong Kong Film Directors Seminar was held in Hainan San Yaya Longwan. The China Association of Leaders, the Hong Kong Association of Leaders and the Taiwan Association of Leaders gathered together to discuss the future development path of Chinese-language films.

As the leader of the mainland director, Wan Xiaohu was very arrogant and made a statement at the meeting to unify the remarks of the Directors Association of the Cross-Strait and the Three Localities.

"Chinese films should be included in a unified framework. I have discussed with the directors in the mainland these days that the Film Directors Association will be reorganized and formed into a pan-director association. I think whether it is Hong Kong films or Taiwanese films, we should work with us to create a real director industry organization that can influence the entire Chinese film industry."

Naturally, his remarks did not receive support from the Taiwan Leaders Association and the Hong Kong Leaders Association.

Wan Xiaohu didn't care either. He had specially hired a team of consultants to give him advice. These consultants include retired old filmmakers in China, experts in the Hollywood film industry, and a group of technical officials in the radio and television industry. If they spend a lot of money, relying on his own fame and industry status, it is enough to promote the restructuring of the Pan-Director Association.

Now the Taiwan Leaders Association and the Hong Kong Leaders Association do not support it, it doesn’t matter. Wan Xiaohu is some of the tricks to poach. There are not too many Hong Kong directors under Jiahe Entertainment, such as Mai Zhaohui, Zhuang Wenqiang, Lu Jianqing, and Zeng Zhiwei. They have a strong relationship with Wan Xiaohu. It is not difficult to invite them to join the Pan-Director Association.

Taiwanese director, Wan Xiaohu is confident of persuading Ang Lee to join. Ang Lee and Wan Xiaohu both are in Hollywood and have a good relationship with each other. Recently, Ang Lee is filming "The Fantasy Drift of Pi" invested by Sasha Entertainment, with Wan Xiaohu serving as the producer. Ang Lee joins. It will definitely lead a group of people to join.

The rest of the people who are not cooperative, so sorry, Wan Xiaohu didn’t plan to continue to take them to play.

If you don’t join the Pan-Director Association, you will basically announce that the mainland market said goodbye to these people.

Today, Wan Xiaohu, its subsidiary Tiger Ruiya International Investment Group, holds major companies such as Jiahe Entertainment Group, Time Internet Group, Sasha Entertainment Group, YouTube Company, Marvel Comics Company, Abao Animation Studio, etc., spans the Chinese and American entertainment circles and the Internet.

What's even more terrifying is that the FaceBook, Twitter, Alipay, Duniang, Enterprise, and Huayi Brothers he invested in back then have been listed. Although the equity has been diluted, Wan Xiaohu still makes Wan Xiaohu the most famous man on the planet. Because his name has not been exposed through his agency identity holdings.

But with its open strength, it is impossible to monopolize the mainland film market. It is still easy to ban Hong Kong and Taiwan movies. After all, he has also attracted a group of second-generation officials, especially officials from the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television and Culture. Many of their children have been hired as consultants by Jiahe Entertainment and secretly received dividends.

When it comes to Wan Xiaohu's affairs, he will naturally do his best to help.

This is a protracted battle. Wan Xiaohu has enough patience to complete the reorganization.

The seminar lasted for two days. On the third day, on January 13, many celebrities and directors came to Asia Longwan from all over the world and participated in the 2nd China Film Directors Association commendation conference. The entire conference was full of stars, not inferior to the Golden Horse and Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers.

In order to support Wan Xiaohu's work, Li Xia came with all the artists under the Flash Star, Wang Zhonglei also came with all the artists under the Huayi Brothers, and Wang Jinghua also came with all the artists under the Orange Sky Shiba. In addition, the top stars supporting the show, four big actresses, four little actresses, and Shuangbing.

As well as the international superstars brought out by Wan Xiaohu, Chen Kun, Song Hye Kyo, Huang Xiaoming, Liu Yifei, Liu Dehua, and veteran international stars Cheng Long, Zhou Runfa, Zhang Ziyi, and Gong Li.

The entire Asia Long Bay has become a veritable Oriental Hollywood.

The award of this Directors Association was awarded lively. The commendation must be domestic films released in the mainland in 2010, and there are Chinese-language films invested by China.

"The Great Tangshan Earthquake" won the film of the year, Wang Xiaoshuai won the director of the year with "Rizhao Chongqing", and Xu Jinglei won the young director of the year with "Du Lala's promotion". Wang Xueqi became the male actor of the year in the eyes of the director with "Rizhao Chongqing", and Xu Fan became the actress of the year in the eyes of the director with "The Great Tangshan Earthquake".

Xue Xiaolu won the screenwriter of the year with "Ocean Paradise", while Lin Chaoxian became the Hong Kong and Taiwan director of the year with "Informer".

Xie Tieli, the older generation of outstanding film director, won the Outstanding Contribution Director Award, which is the so-called Lifetime Achievement Award.

In this way, the 2nd commendation conference came to an end successfully.

...

The trivial matters are basically over, and it is not far from the end of the year. Wan Xiaohu first flew to South Korea to accompany Jun Ji-hyun and his son Wan Sung-jun until the end of the year, and then returned to the capital to have a happy Spring Festival with his genuine wife Su Ya, son Wan Sung-yang, and the whole family.

This time, Wan Xiaohu stayed in the capital until after the Lantern Festival before starting to resume work last year.

Back in Santa Monica, Wan Xiaohu directly summoned members of the director team of the "George" crew: "A few, I have thought about it for more than a month. I didn't plan to film An Yingang, but now I decided to make it a re-shoot and use it to participate in some film festivals before the main film."

The previous trajectory of "Aningang" is the easter egg of "Georgeous" and was filmed by director Alfonso Caron's son Hornas Caron. It is to correspond to the plot in which the heroine talks with the earth in the spacecraft in the main film. Because the spacecraft has deviated from the original channel and has been blocked, it cannot be contacted with the space agency, but unexpectedly contacted a fisherman named Aningang in Greenland in the snow and ice.

Fisherman An Yingang doesn't know how to speak English, and the heroine doesn't know how to speak An Yingang, the Inuit native dialect, but the two people who don't speak accidentally started chatting with each other.

Originally, Wan Xiaohu didn't want to shoot anymore. First, he had to go to the snowy Greenland to film, and secondly, it was just an easter egg, so there was no need to spend this money in vain.

However, because he was going to create the Beijing Film Festival this year, he had to support it no matter how he said that he had not finished production of "Frozen" and "Gravity", so he had to restart the extra short film "An Yingang" to create a momentum.

"This short film is actually nothing special when viewed separately. After all, it is an easter egg that exists for intertextuality. So I plan to modify it to make it an independent story. In addition, I decided to challenge the long shot. I want to make this 7-minute short film, one shot to the end!" Wan Xiaohu said confidently.

“How to modify it?”

"Let Aningan and his dog be the protagonists!"

He did it as he said, and there was no need to call the crew. Wan Xiaohu just took the director team and asked the staff of Sasha Entertainment to help arrange the itinerary, so he drove directly into Greenland within the Arctic Circle.

Greenland, as the largest island on the earth, is almost the Kingdom of Ice and Snow. It was originally affiliated with Denmark. In 2009, it declared autonomy. It took over the management of natural gas resources, judicial and police, and had some diplomatic rights, but the Kingdom of Denmark has the final decision on Greenland's defense and diplomatic affairs.

In Greenland, except for one-sixth of the Danes, most of them have Inuit (Eskimo) ancestry, speaking Greenland and Inuit that ordinary people cannot understand.

After the crew arrived at Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, it was warmly welcomed by the local government. Prime Minister Peter Laurisen personally received it. After all, it was just a small city with more than 10,000 people. It was a huge thing for them to have a film crew entering.

Under the arrangement of Peter Laurisen, the crew selected the guide, translator and actor, and then began a one-week rehearsal. During this period, Wan Xiaohu, accompanied by Peter Laurisen, visited the surroundings of Nuuk Harbor.

Running sleds in the snow, driving boats in the harbor to watch whales, and watching the occasional aurora in the sky at night is amazing.

If it's not too cold, it's definitely the perfect enjoyment.

A week later, the crew came to an ice cave fishing ground and started the official shooting.

There are three actors, all of whom are locals, Otto Ignathusen, Raya Lange, and Maligyga F.L. Sigsta, who play a fisherman couple and their son respectively.

Because Wan Xiaohu asked for a single shot to the end, he did not use a guide rail, but used a gimbal and a rocker to shoot continuously. In addition, the wind and snow here are very strong, so the requirements for photographers are very high.

Fortunately, after a week of rehearsal, the tacit understanding has emerged. After five NGs, I finally perfectly included the shots Wan Xiaohu needed into the copy.

"Card, the film is finished!" Wan Xiaohu wrapped himself in a ball and shouted with a loudspeaker.

Peter Laurisen, who was watching the show next to him, asked with unsatisfactory questions: "Tiger, is this over? It's too short!"

"It's just a short film, Peter. I told you that he is part of my big production "Gravity."

"Of course I know, if you didn't think I looked too rough, I really wanted to try how to act. Also, when will "Grain" be released? Where is "An Yingang"? I can't wait to have a sneak peek."

Wan Xiaohu laughed: "The production cycle of "George" is very long, and it may be until the second half of next year. "An Yingang" will be exhibited at the Beijing Film Festival in April this year. Peter, if you really want to watch it, how about I invite you to participate in this year's Beijing Film Festival?"

"This, I need to consider, and you know, we are not completely free from the influence of Denmark."

"Peter, you're too worried. I never participate in politics. I just invite you as a friend. Of course, it's normal for you to have concerns. Even if you can't go, I will send you a copy of "Aningang" and "Gravity" that were produced. Well, you have to guarantee that you can't take it out and sell it as pirated."

"Haha, I'm not short of that little money. On the contrary, I will encourage Nuuk's residents to go to the cinema to support you."

"Then let's just say that."

After the crew packed up, Peter held a banquet in Nuuk and had a good meal. The next day, he finally boarded the plane back and left the small town in the snow.
Chapter completed!
