The well-known director suddenly emptied all attention

On November 20, some netizens discovered that Wu Ershan, the director of the "Fengshen Trilogy", suddenly shut down all the actors in the film, including Chen Kun, Huang Bo and other big names, as well as the members of the "Proton Group" who became popular with the film, and even the film's official Weibo.

Subsequently, Wu Ershan directly emptied all his attention, and his Weibo attention is currently displayed as 0, and the related topic "Wu Ershan takes the pass" rushed to the first place in the hot search.

"Fengshen Part 1: Chao Song Fengyun" was released on July 20 this year, with a cumulative box office of 2.634 billion and a Douban score of 7.8, which can be described as a double harvest at the word-of-mouth box office.

Wu Ershan's behavior of canceling all attention this time made the audience who were looking forward to the early release of the second and third parts faintly worried. Previously, Wu Ershan had mentioned many times in interviews that the "Fengshen Trilogy" requires a long creative cycle due to the difficulty and complexity of the project, but he also mentioned that he plans to launch the second part in the summer of next year.

Some netizens also said that the director's ban doesn't mean anything: "It's obvious that everyone is closed, why do you only say "Fengshen"?", "What about the second part and "Zheng He's Voyage to the West", right?", "Is the director giving up?" "A good director should really devote more time and energy to creation... Wu Ershan is a person who strives for excellence, not to mention taking the pass, now he is withdrawing from the network, and I fully understand "...

Wu Ershan, born on June 10, 1972 in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, is a director in Chinese mainland.

In 2004, Wu Ershan won the International Film Critics Award at the Busan International Film Festival in South Korea for his independent film "Soap Opera". In 2011, he won the Best New Director at the 48th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards for directing the avant-garde martial arts comedy film "Sword and Laughter". In 2012, he directed the oriental magic romance movie "Painted Skin II", which grossed more than 700 million yuan and won the Best Viewing Effect Award at the 20th Beijing University Student Film Festival. In 2023, he directed the domestic mythological epic film "Fengshen Part 1", which will be released on July 20, 2023.
