In order to promote the upcoming new film "Reverse Life" to be released on June 30, director Wu Shixian opened a week-long national film screening from May 14th, but the works screened were not new films, but his most proud works, and the most classic youth love movie "Waiting Alone" in the hearts of many fans.
Relive "Waiting Alone" on the big screen, for the post-80s fans are full of memories to kill, that year after the 80s of the audience and the lead actors Xia Yu, Li Bingbing are still very young, Xia Yu played by Chen Wen used Nokia N-GAGE, young people at that time like to clubbing, go to the disco, there is Ge Cun in the movie ... But the understanding and display of love in the film, as well as the delicate capture of emotions and thoughts, are particularly empathetic, and good movies are never outdated, and after the film screening, there is a long-lasting applause in the auditorium.
Low yields are due to the desire to repeat themselves
Wu Shixian, who is of mixed Chinese and American descent, rarely has the directness and frankness of a Beijinger, has a good Mandarin, and has no barriers to communication with him. He admitted that the screening of "Waiting Alone" this time was because the box office of the previous "Inseparable" was not ideal, so the distributor came up with this method to take advantage of the opportunity to promote the new movie "Reverse Life". It took six years to find investment for "Waiting Alone", but as an independent film, it became what he wanted, and after waiting for a long time without a work, it was because many film companies wanted him to make another movie similar to "Waiting Alone", and he did not want to repeat himself, so he did not "hit the iron while it was hot".
Waiting Alone 2 had an idea, but it wasn't planned yet
"Waiting Alone" dug several pits for the audience, the ending of the film is not perfect, Chen Wen and Liu Rong are not together, Li Jing also went south, Chen Wen stayed alone in Beijing, I feel that the story of the three people has not been told, will Chen Wen and Liu Rong continue to be friends? Can he and Li Jing be together? Talking about the ending of the movie, Wu Shixian said that he wanted to restore the real life, although the investor repeatedly suggested that he change the ending, but he still carried it over, he did not want to be so "cheesy", in fact, the feelings in reality are like this, miss it and miss it, and can't turn back.
But the pits dug for the audience always have to be filled! There has always been a term for "Waiting Alone 2" on Douban, and fans are wondering if it will be filmed. Wu Shixian admitted that "Waiting Alone" was very successful, and he did have the idea of making a sequel, but he was still very cautious, because the sequel was difficult to reach the height of the first part, so it was shelved. However, he will speed up the pace next, and after "Reverse Life", he will start shooting a science fiction film with a three-word title, of course, depending on the box office situation of "Reverse Life". As for the sequel to "Waiting Alone", although Wu Shixian did not say that he was dead, he did not feel much hope, unless there was a script that could particularly impress him.
"Xia Yu and I are old and can't run"
Wu Shixian's new work "Reverse Life" is very interesting, Yan Ni played by the land woman found the horse played by Xia Yu to struggle, to meet his 19 wishes, on the road of his reversal and hanging, can he walk to the peak of life, or usher in endless trouble? The trailer is very interesting, talking about working with Xia Yu again after 12 years, Wu Shixian said that the two people are older, not as tossing and turning as when filming "Waiting Alone", can't stay up late, and can't run, but the film machine used when filming "Waiting Alone" is now digitized, shooting and doing post-production are much easier, "Reverse Life" has more than 200 special effects shots, or edited by himself, and the post-production is almost a year, and strives to present the best picture to the audience.
