Stanley Kwan's identity is more common in the Mainland over the years produced. After 2013 to help Vicki produced by youth, youth as a hot film type started to "bad Avenue". On April 15, he was executive producer of the New York New York landing the national theaters. Seen from the disposition, the film closer to the Stanley Kwan, on cities, about women, about lust and personal choice.
Director Luo Dong of the New York-New York more than 10 years ago was the Lan Yu stills Division, work and film-related work for the first time with Stanley Kwan, emotional ways from aesthetics to sort out the characters, seen everywhere in the New York New York producer Stanley Kwan's shadow.

Stanley Kwan himself, from the everlasting silence, a 2010 film drama students to play on with the jump almost in the nature of a neglected episode.
Actually, long hate song for Kwan for has is a turning point, he no longer harvest previously Rouge buckle, and Ruan lingyu, and Red Rose White Rose or LAN Yu as more of applause, and on shelved of ten years is China movie flew as makeover of ten years, and a should have in "gold age" of Director creation "stock" of ten years. He North and a large number of Hong Kong directors, and one part art films with the Director of a similar temperament with him more frustrated.
Over the years he often brought a work called the book of dissolute, Li Qiang screenwriter, starring Zhao Wei, Joan Chen, announced that cooperative, announced – who, announcing the launch, toss for a few years, last month announced to stop. Because they are "too pioneer market cannot accept so we have been able to choose to stop".
In zhiqian years of prepared in the, Kwan and he of Hong Kong literary tablets Director peer are had confidence full to "vision", they had believes in commercial tablets of led zhixia, a mature of movie market is coming, a more rational of movie audience will growth for has consumption force of groups, mainland hospital line of movie can blossom, more of literary tablets will harvest belongs to they of space and by all. But the reality is "our judgment, that time has not yet come".

This year awards invited him to take a 20-minute video, intolerable he says his fingers itch to want to accept. In fact, he often heard critics judged him, says his writing career in the late 90 's. And he looks forward to, next work was like, investors photographable without worries, and then used to compare before and and see for yourself what is that Stanley Kwan.
"Dialogue"
Anita too dazzling, the Rouge sorry other actresses

Surging News: the New York New York Director Luo Dong with you for years, under the influence of what you think of him?
Stanley Kwan: I just said to him to take what I think, I think the film interesting is the audience read, could you think of so many years of cooperation, he also worked as a photographer, I, he watched my movies, then you may have some consensus, such as aesthetic judgment, for aesthetic judgment will go near it.
The New York New York, stills
Surging News: the New York New York is about 90 of the last century tide thing going abroad, what do you think of conflicts of values and change?
Stanley Kwan: Hong Kong's economic takeoff is (last century) 70 to 80, but before the economy took off, disparity of wealth in Hong Kong is very large, many people were not met, but it is quite stable.
The situation in the Mainland is, first, the place is too big, and the reform and opening up was particularly serious, not so much of Hong Kong's economic takeoff is one step at a time. In Shanghai you see, suddenly is Taiwan, the Hong Kong businessman, you'll see a lot of opportunities for local girls in the next, new friends, have a title for girls at that time, called the Canary. These were at that time when I was in Shanghai for the Ruan lingyu, location search, still impressive.
Surging News: the female role in the narrative of the New York, New York, this is as executive producer to the Director's suggestion?
Stanley Kwan: I can from an objective point of view, first of all, the screenplay focuses on is the way (Ethan Ruan), this character was in the background of reform and opening up, he worked in high hotel, just a world perspective to look out at the ocean, it is clearly written for Director brewing concept script. But the cuckoo's role is very complex and interesting, and when I saw the script, you notice that this role to dig deep, like spectator noted, she seemed a shrewd calculation, desire to establish the role, a role that more arrests.
Played by Ethan way
The New York New York actress cuckoo
One aspect is that when a Director may make a movie, automatically to a role, unconsciously attracted to actors or acting. Such as the Rouge I initially set the female perspective, but also in actual shooting I don't consciously focus falls on her body as a whole, which makes me feel a little ashamed to Zhu Bao and Irene Wan. But this is a natural thing, I always said that after filming a movie, has a life of its own, role as well. At that time, how do you design the camera will follow the film feeling. 77 year old grandma woke up mantra cerebral infarction
Surging News: after you finish the youth caused by producer a few years ago, youth movie turned into a fad. Like New York, New York, the romance is a type, but until now this type of ambiguity in the country, is not a very good development.
Stanley Kwan: If you take this genre to Hong Kong (last century) compared to the 80 's to the 90 's golden decade, are no way, not to mention mainland movies and Hollywood movies in recent years. So-called genre films is equation to calculate construction, mainland Chinese movie makers are facing a new industrial genre characters solid enough romance what should be implicit, when passion, it also needs to be a transition time, impossible to grasp love movie, action movie type of mature models.
Movie is in great demand in the market, but the market demand is not movies Kwan
Kwan looking forward to find a worry-he did not go to make a film. Surging journalist Gao Zhengtu
Surging News: over the years has done a lot of the film's producers, movie you are another way to integrate their environment?
Stanley Kwan: I think more is from the perspective of Director, learning through contact with young people. To cite an example, Zhao Wei is an experienced actor being a Director, I have to sit and watch the way she taught actor, fully imagined, so it is not just her in my study, I was learning about her. Including next, I will make a transition Director novelist become the producer, it inspired, I adapted the novel, will and based on Zhang Ai-ling and Li bihua's novel is not the same in the past, these are all running at work and interact.
Surging News: notes of the dissolute halted when is at what stage?
Stanley Kwan: Li Qiang teachers had not yet completed the script, this is not my own choice, investors had concerns, we selected film projects slowly.
In recent years, many people judge said art films market came, we used to think that industry and commercial development to a certain size, with all kinds of situations will come, but the market is not as we wish to accept various types of films, now becomes more and more simple.
Surging News: then how do you these arthouse Director Hong Kong business type to find space in the tide?
Stanley Kwan: the premise is certainly the Hong Kong film industry has grown, to let this Hong Kong film made a number of more personal works, the Hong Kong film industry has always been a very business-oriented. (Last century) 80, the producer would tell us – Stanley Kwan, Ann Hui, you can take some very personal work, but you must promise me a big star, you can be a creative, well why not have a big star to guarantee it? Big stars are willing to contribute their abilities in these types. This point of mainland stars many not willing to do so.
Surging News: in addition, a few years ago you used to take Han of the his Kingdom, but no, do you feel yourself acclimatized to the Mainland?
Stanley Kwan: his plays have been published in the country and shot. Before you say I do not feel "acclimatized", but think maybe, too, may be my problem, great background, movies for the market, not I have the ability to shoot, sometimes feel that one is not willing, sometimes want may not really shoot. Movie is in great demand in the market, but the market demand is not movies Kwan.
Surging News: so you prefer will be filming until you want to market timing?
Stanley Kwan: I've been writing your own scripts, with a story outline approved by the investor, but I did not sign a Director contract. We clear out our budget to do assessments, and your budget difficult to balance. I'm not willing to cut the budget, but is reduced to a certain extent, the film will make people feel hurt.
Surging News: some directors will choose to take some of the market needs to make some money, Director other than the artist, after all, is a career.
Stanley Kwan: I never thought I had the ability and the talent to make money, I sell most of the film is the Rouge, other than capital preservation is losing money.
Surging News: nearly a decade of time, for a Director, this is actually a pretty golden creative period, so that we use will you have a little regret?
Stanley Kwan: I know, outside people watching Kwan's creative will is the Rouge and the Ruan lingyu and the Red Rose, white rose, ' or even ' Lan Yu '. But for me, not unimportant for many years, I now I expect I could find a shot, the investor is willing to take, we reach budget consensus, so I don't have to worry about film, take out what it would be? Will is not like film before? Because I think people's attitudes have changed.
I used to think that the imposter can fulfill my expectations, but not now.
Press the surging in recent years, Hsu an-hua, Mabel Cheung fruit Chan this Hong Kong new wave Auteur films were less successful in the Mainland? Does this affect you and the reason reluctant to hand?
Stanley Kwan: it can not be generalized, Tsui Hark's success, right? You say those people are actually not go commercial types of Directors, so their box office very well, not bad, not their acclimatized, but in recent years many of the highest-grossing new year's films are Hong Kong films.
