After Paul Hu's death, someone dug up his Weibo and some materials. He said that his life is not easy and it is difficult to make movies. According to the chat records between Paul Hu and the investors, there was a conflict between them because of the length of the film and too many long shots, and then Paul Hu committed suicide.
No one expected Paul Hu's death. Can't say that investors drove Paul Hu to death. There is nothing wrong with the contradiction between investors and Paul Hu as far as the film itself is concerned, but I don't know if Paul Hu will adopt this way to solve the problem.
Friends who have seen films directed by Paul Hu will have a common feeling that the whole film is too depressing. It is not difficult to imagine what Paul Hu's real life is like to create such works. There is an elephant in Manchuria in the movie. The characters in the movie put all their hopes on the elephant, but Paul Hu didn't, so he hanged himself to solve the problem.
