rising director

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change, more than 10 years of accumulation.Now in its thirties, Wan Xiaohu finally won the biggest applause.

The only regret is the lack of a statuette for Best Director Oscar.

"Can "Inception" make Wan Xiaohu a god?"

Chinese movie fans are concerned, and movie fans all over the world are equally concerned. "Inception" has too high requirements for the director, and made such a complex film into such a majestic effect.The skill of the director is evident.

The most important thing is that this is another masterpiece with both reputation and box office.

In the first weekend in North America, it was no surprise that it won the box office championship with 6878 million US dollars.Ruthlessly crush "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", "Predator", "Grown Up" and "The Last Airbender".Such a first-week box office may not be comparable to the opening results of sequel films adapted from novels and comics, but for a non-fan base, non-sequel, hard science fiction, and cul film, this result is against the sky.

The scariest thing is, outside of word of mouth and box office, the discussion about the movie.It also became a phenomenon-level topic at once.

"I think Cobb has come back to reality."

"Oh, honey, I don't think so. Cobb is still lost. You know, in the lost domain, he must wake up from several dreams before he can come back!"

"Who said that you have to go through dreams in Lost Realm? Cobb and Mel committed suicide by lying on the train. Then they escaped Lost Realm!"

"Honey, when Cobb came back. There was no communication at all on the plane. Also, the dream was created by the female dreamer on the plane. Everyone should wake up before her, but Cobb is The last one to wake up!"

"No, no, no. Tom you got it mixed up, Cobb is back! First, Cobb was in a dream and his hands couldn't see the faces of his little ones, and only finally came back to reality. He saw them! And, Have you noticed Cobb's ring? When there is a ring, it is Mel who will appear. When there is no Mel, there is no ring on his hand..."

Such discussions can be seen everywhere at the entrance of movie theaters, and can also be seen everywhere on the Internet.

"High word-of-mouth, high box office, this summer, let's all come to Inception together!" - Los Angeles Times.

North America and mainland China won the championship strongly, and overseas markets also reported frequent success.

August 2010...

"According to the latest box office data released by the Korean Film Council, "Inception," which landed in South Korea on the 16th, set a record of 597 viewers on 81 screens in South Korea this week, and is expected to exceed 6854 in the first week of its release in South Korea. Ten thousand people watched the film, setting the best record except for "Avatar"." - South Korea's "Chosun Ilbo" news.

"According to the research of historians, Wan Xiaohu has Korean ancestry and should be an immigrant from South Korea." - South Korea's "Busan Shimbun".

After South Korea's "Inception" won the championship strongly, the discussion about Wan Xiaohu broke out suddenly.This kind of explosion, every time his movie is released in South Korea, it will explode.

"I read the newspaper just now, and the "Busan News" has proved that Wan Xiaohu is of Korean descent. I am proud to have such a big director compatriot. Of course, my acting skills are very good. I hope that Director Wan can invite I star in his movie, I guarantee it with my personality, the movie will be a big hit!" - A third-rate star in South Korea.

"Although I don't want to admit it, I still feel that our Korean movies are not as good as Chinese movies. A Chinese director, Wan Xiaohu, can beat the box office of all our directors."

"I like Wan Xiaohu's movies. I have been his fan since "My Sassy Girlfriend"! Wan Xiaohu, Smecta!"

When it comes to influence and fan base, Wan Xiaohu is definitely No. 1 in South Korea. For ten years, Golden Harvest Entertainment has not stopped exporting to South Korea.All kinds of domestic TV dramas and movies are continuously broadcast in Korea through the Korean film company under the former Dandelion and the Korean private dus company.

As the big boss, Wan Xiaohu's name was naturally exaggerated infinitely, and it took ten years for thirteen movies to be released.It is the best publicity in itself.

South Korea won the championship, and Japan also won the championship.

"Wan Xiaohu is the pride of Asia." - "Asahi Shimbun" unceremoniously drew Wan Xiaohu's relationship.

"Stop indulging in the brilliance of animation films and let the Japanese film industry continue to develop abnormally! More directors should go out and enter Hollywood! Hasn't Wan Xiaohu's "Inception" awakened you?" - " The Yomiuri Shimbun appealed.

"Plagiarism!"——Some Japanese media published it in a newspaper, denouncing "Inception" for plagiarizing animation director Min Kon's "Red Pepper" idea.

To this.Many reporters went to the crew of "Gravity" to ask Wan Xiaohu about the Japanese media's accusations.

Wan Xiaohu was stunned for a long time before he remembered who Kon Min was, a Japanese animation director.He is not very interested in Japanese cartoons, and he has only watched a few films by Hayao Miyazaki. He really doesn't know how "Inception" collided with "Red Pepper", and he has never seen "Red Pepper".

"Um, you also said it just now. "Red Pepper" was only released in 2006, but my "Inception" script was registered with the Screenwriters Guild in 2005. Many directors and film companies asked me at the beginning, thinking I want to buy it. I think I don’t need to say anything about the rest, right?” Wan Xiaohu said a little depressed.

Having said that, the reporter immediately had nothing to say, one in 06 and one in 05.Is it possible to plagiarize a year in advance?

What you guys don't know is that Wan Xiaohu has been plagiarizing in advance!

certainly.After gagging the reporter, Wan Xiaohu went to look for "Red Pepper" again.He really didn't know whether Christopher Nolan borrowed from "Red Pepper" in the last track.

After watching the filming, Wan Xiaohu can only say that there may be some references.But plagiarism is bullshit.

The ideas of the two films may be a little bit similar, but the intentions are completely different. One is a surreal fantasy theme, and the other is a science fiction theme about dreams.Kontoshi's "Red Pepper" is indeed breathtaking in its exploration of dreams, but when it comes to sci-fi elements.It's simply weak, and the final ending can't be accepted. Compared with the narrative structure of "Inception", it is far worse!

"Red Pepper" mainly shows the imagination of dreams. It is grotesque, but it is not fun to watch the movie. After watching it, you may even forget the ending in two days. "Inception" has rigorous logic, and complex and delicate levels.The difference between the two films is huge.

In this way, Wan Xiaohu stopped paying attention.

Two completely different movies, if you have to compare them, it is nonsense to say that they are plagiarized.Wan Xiaohu learned from directing and watched many movies. As early as 1984, "Magic Star" had the idea of ​​​​dream attack. "The Matrix" and "A Nightmare on Elm Street" all have this kind of contrast between dreams and reality.

Strictly speaking, all dream movies are plagiarized, copying the "Huangliang Dream" of our country's ancestors, that is the real dream No. 1, and the imagination is at its extreme!

There are a lot of chapters in the world, and so are movies.

Some people say that "The Matrix" copied "Ghost in the Shell", but "Ghost in the Shell" still copied "Neuromancer" and "Blade Runner"!

Come to think of it, are there any movies that haven't been plagiarized?

……

"Wan Xiaohu is always the most amazing one, and his cooperation with Leonardo is a perfect example." Thailand's largest newspaper "Thai Rat" reported that this week "Inception" refreshed the weekly box office in Thailand. record.

"Leonardo's passionate interpretation and Wan Xiaohu's perfect narration gave us a pleasant experience of a dream." The British "Times" commented on "Inception", which won the weekly championship.

The British "Sun" paid attention to different directions: "It is reported that during the filming of "Inception" in London, director Wan Xiaohu had a date with Natalie Portman Hotel, and Leonardo hooked up with the local A young model. Liu Dehua and Zhou Runfa went to nightclubs to fool around together."

A few small episodes have no effect at all, the rise of the masterpiece "Inception"!

This summer, the world belongs to dreamers!
