Netease Entertainment reported on December 16 (text/663) On December 16, "Let the Bullets Fly" was released nationwide. Six hours before the release, NetEase Entertainment once again interviewed director and starring Jiang Wen. During the half-year-long promotion period of this film, Jiang Wen has accepted no less than a thousand interviews, large and small. He has already said everything he can say about the film, about the box office, about business and art. As long as you type "Jiang Wen, "Let the Bullets Fly" on the computer, you can find the answers to all your questions on the dense web pages.

So this time, Jiang Wen did not talk about movies and art, but drank tea, ate fruit, and chatted about Lady Gaga and Winnie the Pooh. So you thought he was Zhang Muzhi in "Bullet"? Actually, he said he was Tigger. Do you think this is a literary film? He said it was actually a children's film.

Talking about "Let the Bullets Fly", I hope to be more

honest than Lao Tang, kinder than Huang Shilang, and more relaxed than Zhang Muzhi

Handsome?

Jiang Wen: Are you saying that I have a grudge against a good-looking person? Where are they good-looking, I think they are all good-looking. In fact, none of them died, they were suspended animation, and they all came out during "Flying 3". How can I look good, I look like a ghost, I have five eyelids, and many scenes were filmed when I was extremely sleepy. I look good because the photography is so good. When I have a good time, I am not in a movie, and I look best when I don't film.

Netease Entertainment: "Bullet" is known as "no urine point". Generally, two-thirds of the movie will let the audience take a breath. Why not "Bullet"?

Jiang Wen: Because we are not ordinary, and my own pee spot is longer than others. Why are you peeing while watching a movie, really. Well, as long as the physical strength is good, I can see, and if the physical strength is not good, I can't force it.

Netease Entertainment: When you wrote "Sunny Days", you listened to Mascari, when you wrote "The Devil Is Coming", you listened to military music, and what did you listen to when you wrote "Bullet"? Is it Mozart?

Jiang Wen: I didn't listen to it when I filmed "Bullet". Mozart listened to it when he was a child, and remembered it as a teenager, so he used it in the film. Who always listens to him, I listen to Lady Gaga now, old man.

Netease Entertainment: You told Acheng ten years ago that you made a movie by smelling it. Your previous films had a strong male hormone flavor, what about this one?

Jiang Wen: This one smells like female hormones. This is a male movie for women. So you see, the girls in the theater are screaming like that. Men like women, women like men, this is the most common and widespread situation. And women are more willing to express their joy, which I think is good.

Netease Entertainment: At the end of the story, everyone left Zhang Muzhi, saying that it was not easy to be with him. Are you also someone who does not easily make people easy?

Jiang Wen: This is really what a friend gave me at the time. He said, "You're fun and you're a very nice person, but it just makes me feel uncomfortable." I think people I work with feel that way. It's a self-deprecating way to put it in. The pursuit of perfection will bring this feeling to friends. He felt that this should be done, but he still had to pursue perfection.

Netease Entertainment: Then in that era, would you like to be a bandit or make a revolution?

Jiang Wen: I am willing to eat, drink and have fun (laughs).

Netease Entertainment: Is that Huang Shilang?

Jiang Wen: No, I am willing to do it or unwilling to do it. I think they are too noisy, and they are too much tossing about these three melons and two dates. I hope to be more honest than Lao Tang, kinder than Huang Shilang, and more relaxed than Zhang Muzhi.

Netease Entertainment: Is there still Sister Hua?

Jiang Wen: It's better to have it, take a few sisters with you, how nice.

Netease Entertainment: You said that Sister Hua looks better with a gun, so why not let her be a real hemp bandit?

Jiang Wen: This is not based on my will. I have to respect the natural direction of the characters. I don't know about the next episode. Anyway, she hasn't really joined the team yet.


Netease Entertainment: Do you think Sister Hua likes Zhang Muzhi?

Jiang Wen: She didn't know she liked it. This silly girl, she didn't know yet, so she didn't have time to say it.

Netease Entertainment: Will the sequel say?

Jiang Wen: I can't tell you yet, that would be a spoiler.

Netease Entertainment: When will the next one come out?

Jiang Wen: Then according to your wishes, when do you want to watch it, talk about it, under the premise of possible.

Netease Entertainment: This time next year?

Jiang Wen: I have to listen to him. (referring to the producer Ma Ke)

Ma Ke: No problem, we are going to prepare one film a year.

Jiang Wen: It's still on December 16th, always on December 16th.

When I talk about myself

, I keep a low profile and low-key people don’t even remember me.

Netease Entertainment: I use your lines in my New Year’s greeting text messages every year, from “The Devil is Coming”.

Jiang Wen: Happy Chinese New Year, big brother and sister-in-law... (laughs) Why?

Netease Entertainment: It's fun.

Jiang Wen: Actually, the lines of "The Devil Is Coming" already have the style of "Bullet". It is also dense, absurd, humorous, but a bit miserable.

Netease Entertainment: Will it not be so miserable in the future?

Jiang Wen: I can't take pictures anymore. At that time, I was younger and didn't show mercy. Stay tuned for more Bullets, everyone is happy and looking forward to the sequel.

Netease Entertainment: Feng Xiaogang opened Meager, and Chen Kaige also opened yesterday. Will you drive? (I hope you don't open it, keep a sense of mystery.)

Jiang Wen: Well, I won't open it, I will listen to you. I am mysteriously low-key, and low-key people don't even remember me. Others ask me what are you doing, whether you are learning something from someone. Who am I learning from? 17 years ago, I filmed "Sunny Days", and it was well-received and well-received, with lovely lines. They asked who US Dollar learned from, and there is Grumm Oppa in "The Sunshine is Bright". I want to learn good things, not medium things.

Netease Entertainment: So are you still watching any new movies?

Jiang Wen: I don't watch movies anymore. I watch the films of the directors I like over and over again, not to learn anything, but to watch them comfortably. The movie I watch the most is Tigger and Winnie the Pooh. If this film ("Bullet") won the post-80s generation, it may be due to this influence. Last time I chatted with Demi Moore, she also watched Tigger. When I first watched it with my son, I thought it was really pretty. "The Bullets Fly" is a children's film, and people kicked into the valley with one foot. You don't think he's violent, do you? find it fun. "The Devil is Coming" is a bit too real, you're heart-pounding when you see it. This is actually a bit like Winnie the Pooh, and the big guy doesn't take it so seriously. But I'm tired of playing a Tigger, jumping up and down. I have been watching this for the past four years, the song, the words in it, I remember all the details.

Netease Entertainment: Winnie the Pooh's friends are also very cute.

Jiang Wen: Yes, that group of friends is our group. I'm Tigger, and Soup is Winnie the Pooh. They guessed that I learned this and learned that. Actually, they all watched Winnie the Pooh. I didn't tell anyone about this, I just told you. You have to explain to netizens, they can understand, right?

NetEase Entertainment: Yes, NetEase netizens are the smartest.


Jiang Wen: Well, it is estimated that NetEase can understand. (laughs)

Netease Entertainment: A few days ago, a meager photo of you, the cover of a popular movie in 1986, you and Liu Linian supported Liu Xiaoqing on the edge of the waterfall, when you were only 23 years old. Do you remember?

Jiang Wen: I don't remember, I'm too old, that was the last century. I'll take a look tomorrow, it seems to be the time of "Furong Town".

    "Don't walk too fast, it will pull the egg." This is a gunpowder keg full of hormones. This is a film that will bring about a nuclear power reaction, shocking everyone, and lasting for a long time. The 130-minute film was full of climax, and the audience boiled from beginning to end, with constant laughter and constant applause. No matter which actor performed very well, the lines were humorous and exquisite, the structure was compact, and the end to end echoed, but they lacked a trace of control. ★★★★☆

    After "The Devil is Coming", Jiang Wen has never had a good book, so his films are all pieced together, not complete. Of course, I have no objection to you viewing it as a collection of Sichuanese Sanda sketches.
