Communist Successor Wu Haohao - Chinese Independent Film Archive
26 October 2021 大概十四五年前，一个还是在校读影视专业的学生在网络上联系到我，他跟我说的第一句话是：“你能不能帮我到国外出名？” 他就是吴昊昊。在电影领域他被一些人知道主要因为他做各种低成本的、私人的、色情的和挑衅的内容。在过去这些年中，他跟我的联系并不多，除了我偶尔也放映过他的电影，以及他跟偶然跟我借钱但是会记得归还外。 他再次他跟我联系，是两年前他问我如何移民到美国。他说了他到国外后的宏伟计划。我觉这真是件很有意思的事情，于是开始拍摄他。 以上是我在刚开始拍摄关于吴昊昊的纪录片的时候…
【CIFA】朱日坤最新电影《海妖》及最新专栏文章《共产主义接班人吴昊昊》
CIFA专栏作家朱日坤的新片《海妖》（2021）将与另外15部影片一起，竞争2021年10月26日至31日在捷克举行的第25届吉赫拉瓦国际纪录片电影节上“最引人注目的国际纪录片奖”。这是今年唯一一部进入国际竞赛单元 “Opus Bonum”的华语影片。
该片讲述了生活在当下中国一个大城市里的年轻情侣吴昊昊和葛宁宁的故事。吴昊昊自称是一名视频制作人，主要为社交媒体拍摄色情视频，也是一名崇拜毛泽东和向往文化大革命的共产主义者。他的梦想是移民美国，去纽约宣传他的共产主义理想。宁宁喜欢跳舞和绘画，并在昊昊及其他人拍摄的许多电影中演出，却未能得到任何认可。这对情侣同意保持一种开放的关系，各自有自己的恋人。但他们的关系最终到达危机点，两人都觉得自己的前途黯淡无光。
在26日电影节前一天的采访中，电影节负责人和创始人马雷克-霍沃卡回答 “有没有哪部纪录片让你特别兴奋”这个问题时说，“我很高兴我们有机会放映中国独立电影人也是制片人朱日坤的新作《海妖》”。他评论道，虽然发生在当下的中国，这却是一部探讨普遍意义上关系的影片。
这部电影将于10月28日在电影节上放映，与此同时，朱日坤也在CIFA网站上发表了一篇新的专栏文章，题为《共产主义接班人吴昊昊》。这篇专栏是朱日坤于2020年。
12月18日对吴昊昊进行的一次深入采访，同时他也简要地谈到拍摄这部纪录片的由来。通过这篇采访，我们可以进一步观察这个在影片中被生动描绘的、有趣而又矛盾的人物，以及塑造他的当代中国的社会及意识形态环境。
Zhu Rikun's New Film No Desire to Hide and New Column ‘Communist Successor Wu Haohao’
Our columnist Zhu Rikun’s new film No Desire to Hide (2021) has been chosen to compete with another fifteen films for the award for the most notable international documentary film at the 25th Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival, taking place in the Czech Republic between 26 October and 31 October 2021. This is the only Chinese-language film that has entered its international competition section ‘Opus Bonum’ this year.
The film is about a young couple, Wu Haohao and Ge Ningning, living in a big city in today’s China. Haohao describes himself as a video producer who shoots mainly erotic videos for social media, and a communist who worships Mao Zedong and admires the Cultural revolution. His dream is to emigrate to the United States and to promote his communist ideals in New York. Ningning likes to dance and paint, and has performed in many films made by Haohao and others but has failed to receive any recognition. The couple agrees to maintain an open relationship, each with their own lovers. Their relationship eventually reaches crisis point, with both of them feeling bleak about their prospects.
Responding to the question ‘is there any one documentary that you are particularly excited about?’ in an interview the day before the festival on the 26th, the festival chief and founder Marek Hovorka said, ‘I’m very happy that we have a chance to screen the Chinese film No Desire to Hide, by director, but also producer of independent Chinese films Zhu Rikun’. He commented that this film is about relationships in general but based in contemporary China.
While the film will be screened at the festival on 28 October, Zhu Rikun has also published a new column titled ‘Communist Successor Wu Haohao’ on the CIFA website. In this column, Zhu briefly talks about the origins of this documentary and then presents an in-depth interview that he conducted with Wu Haohao on 18 December 2020. In this interview, we can observe further this interesting yet contradictory character that has been portrayed vividly in the film, as well as the social and ideological environment in contemporary China that has shaped him.
