This reporter Guo Yanbing by Gao Chunxi directed by the set of action, police bandits, the western elements in one type of film "westerly fierce" this release. There has always been a "flirt master" of the high group of books this team together with the eight major stars composed of "Four famous catch" "male and Female Killer" and "Fugitive Mandarin Ducks" launched the Gobi Chase. As there is no big film in the near future, the film is undoubtedly the most eye-catching, in a series of screening, despite the polarization of Word-of-mouth, but the industry is still bullish on its market prospects, gave 150 million to 200 million of the box office forecast. Gao Book said, "The West Wind" is a new type of film attempt, success or failure will be entirely by the box office to speak. Let us through the character relationship to explain the plot, see "Four famous catch" rely on what the audience "catch" into the cinema. The figure of the West wind is related to the spoilers. Zhang to prove his love to his girlfriend Jing always rely on black fist to make money, but the savings were accidentally cheated by friends, cornered, he took an assassination, was wanted after the incident, from Hong Kong began a fugitive journey.  Before fleeing, he secretly photographed the Black hand, this picture of him as a lifeline to the police and the killer bargaining chip.  Jing (Charlie) Hong Kong people, open restaurants in the mainland, because the ex-husband did not like children and many abortions, so divorced, fell in love with the Zhang and he was willing to flee with him, while carrying their belly children. Zhang (Xia Yu) was an athlete, experienced and yang similar, graduated from the Sports school, won the provincial championship.  When working in love with Jing, but because each other "take 200,000 to marry you," the joke on the Klacka. McGaw (Wu adorn) once in Burma North do mercenaries, to the Middle East when the killer, half of the killing after the exhaustion, decided this action Hou Basin wash hands.  As a professional assassin, he kept "purposeful homicide", and he never killed a policeman.  Arnold (Yu adorn) Arnold does not abide by any rules, this is the first time she came out to carry out the task, but its fierce, depending on human life such as straw, let McGaw think she is not fit to do the killer. To the West, He Jianzhong, Han Chaodong and Yang originally belong to the local Public security Bureau of "four famous catch", but in a task a few years ago, Yang brother died in the public, and westward because the mission was promoted to the Hunan Provincial Public Security Bureau, the arrest is the first time after the four people reunion.  Four people live up to expectations, successful in the Gobi caught wanted to Zhang and Jing, but Zhang put the pregnant Jing, just hand over the photos, for the behind. West (Yihong adorn) agility, good at running, nicknamed "Leopard". To the West is very leadership temperament, "four famous catch" by His creation, he is also the soul of this team.  A few years ago in a task, because the work was promoted to the Hunan Provincial Public Security Bureau, the capture is the first time after four separate reunion, but before the Jiuan has let him have heart knot. Han-Chao East (Zhang adorn) honest and strong as the ox, so nicknamed "Yak".  Han Chaodong Sheep Piao from his grandfather, his grandfather had worn it to the bandits, participated in the Korean War, not once in the bomb, so said it can "bulletproof." He Jianzhong (Guangon adorn) wily, but grim benevolence, nicknamed "Tibetan Mastiff". He Jianzhong is a sharpshooter, is extremely familiar with the local environment, is good at the most effective task, is "four famous catch" inside second to west of the leader figure.  He Jianzhong's world is very simple, only divided into "right" or "wrong", he felt that things do not matter, to achieve the goal can be more direct, do not mealy. Yang (Wu adorn) character Reckless, nicknamed "The Shepherd", but has always wanted to be called "warrior". Good skill, skillful skill.  A few years ago in a mission, his brother died on duty, he became a "contract police" no preparation. Because of fear of exposure, behind the hand sent professional killer McGaw and Arnold to kill Zhang, two forces eventually. In tents temporarily stationed in abandoned occurrences, Zhang was robbed by McGaw and Arnold. In the face of the killer's torture, Zhang no yield, demanding high must be from the four names to save Jing, his hand will hand over the photos.  After a series of contests, four famous killers in the abandoned police station to start a duel of life and death ... Gao book don't get Me Beat. But he's not a problem. The industry and the media on the "Westerly wind," the Knot of Word-of-mouth, but in response to the questioning process, he was asked more is "why the killer than the police," and so on. Old Gao felt so superficial that he was silent. He said he welcomed criticism, but "please be objective and reasonable", "You can't ruin a director with a stuffy stick."  "Public opinion collision" problem superficial let people collapse the first thing to look good, the Chinese film even if the problem has not been solved to talk about Mount Everest, this is too absurd. Beijing News: The first round of the film after a good reputation, but later a few film critics and the media field is beginning to have "cottage Hollywood" and other negative reputation.  Some people say this is because the first show is "relatives and friends field" to cause the contrast between the big. Gao Book: I do not agree with the term "friends and relatives". They are all cultural celebrities, after many see the broad, is a phenomenon can see the essence of a group of people. Some of them suggested something that they did not like, but they were very objective. But after the first round of good reputation in fact also directly lead to the following expectations of the gap, there is controversy.  I am looking forward to an objective and impartial and meaningful questioning, and I am not afraid of this but warmly welcome.  The Beijing News: So You think the basic point of the question is wrong? Gao Book: Let me ask you a question first. How far is the Chinese film? Most movies don't even look good. What kind of movie are we looking for now to get the Golden palms? Chinese film has not yet reached this stage, not mature and unstable, we have to do is how to activate the genre of commercial films, I think of this. "The West Wind"First is an action film, to speak in the action of the characters, I think the action on some of the settings have not reached my vision. I don't agree with the characters that many people question, but these characters need to be interpreted in a very deep way, if only because they are accused of wearing a cowboy hat in the same way as the American westerns. It is a pity that many people build on this basis to evaluate the film. Action Cop Hollywood has, Hong Kong has, but does the mainland have?  But we are now using other people's standards to assess the type of the mainland has not appeared, this evaluation standard is fair?  BEIJING News: You think you are trying to make a new type of film on the mainland. Gao Book: This film is not a blockbuster, there is no super stars, we rely on the type, depending on the film itself to attract viewers, return to the original film a combination of elements. Specifically, the film has several sources: the 80 's the Hong Kong film, from scratch to the end, but also a U.S. B-class film in China, an experiment. There are two kinds of B-class films in the United States, the anti-system, anti-mainstream and values are very mainstream. and "Westerly Wind" is based on China's reality to do, based on the more close to the Chinese people's values. Unfortunately, our current film is as long as you are big enough, the plot almost does not matter, the market is more acceptable, but even in Hollywood, there are so few films, medium investment film is to support the backbone of the film industry. What do Chinese movies lack? The main melody has, the small piece goes to get the prize also to have, precisely lacks the mid-range production movie. "Wind" is the use of medium production to send out a large amount of energy, it turns out to be successful. "The West Wind" I do is a new action police bandits and the western type of the combination of film, but we take it with the "wind" than, with "close" than. Is there comparability between Mala and Cantonese, millet? The first movie to look good, the Chinese film even if the problem has not been resolved on Mount Everest, this is too absurd. So I said, "Westerly wind" is to take to the most cultural and the least cultural people to see, not to the middle of the people to see.  I didn't want to talk to people about the text, I did the case.  "Interpretation of the role" each character is a metaphorical plot is not thin, not only each character has a strong practical significance and metaphor, and even every war is realistic and tactical requirements. Beijing News: You always mention the word reading.  Do you think it is possible for the average audience to see a commercial genre with an interpreted mindset? Gao Book: This is why some people say that the film story is thin, the figure is not plump reason. I said the plot is not thin, not only each character has a strong practical significance and metaphor, and even every war is realistic and tactical requirements. This is a motion to drive the plot and characters of the film, every fight in the film, my story is not repeated, I have been in love with a variety of elements of the mix, how can thin it? There are eight characters in the film, and I would also respond to all the people whoQuestion。 First say "four names catch". Yihong is guarded by many social rules, such as law and humanitarianism, so he would let the young couple live in tents together, his practice is full of human nature, but prone to error; Guangon is the local leader, in his eyes only the law is the rule, he must protect Yihong this province hall come "guest", he cannot undertake responsibility, What would he say if Yihong died? This is a very realistic and utilitarian metaphor; Wu is the character of the weakest growth, his young love to play, love playing cool, moonlight sneak attack that scene he ran with Yu singles alone and did not protect good tents, let the summer Rain Charlie two people ran. He was a failure, so the opportunity broke out and he had to find a reason to excuse himself. That's the way the real people are, so in the end he stopped playing with Yu, which means that he grew up, began with wisdom, with the brain, tension is the "close" in the old fish such people, low-level police staff, wisdom is not enough, and no back door, very satisfied with the present situation. He is loyal to the profession, the leader let me fight who I will fight, the law let me kill who I go to kill.  They are the base of the monument, there is no big pursuit, the key to sacrifice, most of life is such a person. Killer Wu Born mercenaries, these people learn tactics is China's guerrilla warfare and the Art of war, Life Creed is for the money soldier, not for the National people to fight, so he said the killer is for money to kill and not for hatred. But in the end he was also enraged, began to use blasting, the Yak is also accidental injury, he is also very loyal, with Yihong some of the same, wits. In fact, in the end he will also feel wronged, I so a killer of cattle to use the most primitive one of the way to solve the problem, how sad ah, so he wept. "21st century is not a killer of the world", this sentence everyone feel ridiculous, but this is a truth, now like summer rain such a small bully can kill, but also someone will be the killer as a lifelong struggle for the cause? Yu like "Honey" to kill Tsang, just to the river, in order to safely kill, although the method some self-inflicted, but that is the only way to survive.  She is growing up. The archetypal character of summer rain is what I heard when I was interviewing criminals for 13 cases of homicide. Film and Life, is a bureau and potential, the summer rain formed this bureau, the potential is that each person's interaction has increased their power or the elimination of their power. Summer rain is to dare to sacrifice, but he is very realistic, the law can do me, why do you do me? So he can let Wu to save Charlie, and Charlie is my understanding of women. is a woman important? Chairman Mao says women can hold up half the sky. She because of love, because of sensibility, cause summer rain killed people. She is a cow when she knows the summer rain is for her to go on this road of no return, can be desperate to save him. How great a woman this is. There are women born maternal things, but some people say I do not respect women! Through these readings you come back to see "The West Wind," you will also say that the plot is weak? AlsoCan you say the characters are not plump? "Defying innovation" the significance of the experiment is that the latter is a model of the experiment, my level is not high, like my level of directors in China there are 10 or so.  If I succeed, do you have a good movie every year?  Beijing News: So what kind of evaluation criteria do you think is fair? Gao Book: I allow you to criticize, and warmly welcome, but the criticism should be objective, not a sap to fight, then who also do this experiment? From the type of film, I built a type that must go to the extreme, film is to the audience to see, you have to use the market to test it, the audience scold you I accept the whole, because people spend money, if the market failed, then I will say that my experiment failed, I can go back to the old road. I still want to do some experiments, later people can at least take this to say things, this is not very good? And I think the experiment is exemplary, my level is not high, like my level of director in China there are 10 or so. If I succeed, do you have a good movie every year? My sense of achievement is also from this, people say you this film is not what I want, but to recognize my type of film to try and innovate.
