According to foreign media reports, the 75-year-old Wu Yusen will return to Hollywood to direct the action film "Silent Night", starring "X Task Force" actor Joel Kinnaman. This is Wu Yusen's return to Hollywood after 18 years after directing Ben Affleck's "Memory Rift" in 2003.
"Silent Night", which tells the story of a father who takes revenge on the gangsters because of the death of his son, is a commercial action film genre that Wu Yusen specializes in. The biggest gimmick of the film is that there is not a single line in the whole film.
Wu Yusen entered the film industry in 1968 as a director, screenwriter, actor and producer, and 1986's "The True Colors of Heroes" gave him a firm foothold in the film industry and laid the foundation for his unique aesthetic style of violence. The film not only won the Academy Award for Best Picture, but also received high praise internationally.
In 1993, he began to develop in Hollywood, USA, directing "The Ultimate Target" and "Changing Faces". "Changing Face" won the Golden Circle Award of the National Chinese American Art Foundation, the Best Director Award at the 24th American Film and Television Saturn Awards, and was also selected by Time Magazine as one of the top ten best films of the year. In 2000, he directed the spy film Mission Impossible 2, which won the global film annual box office title.
After 2006, Wu Yusen turned his focus back to China. In 2010, Wu Yusen won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 67th Venice International Film Festival. (For more news, please pay attention to Yangcheng Pie pai.ycwb.com)
