Chen Yi-Wen (Chinese: 陳以文) is a Taiwanese filmmaker. == Career == While Taiwanese directors are often associated with slower-paced, personal art films, Yi-Wen decided early on when he entered the film industry that he wanted to produce high quality, entertainment-oriented movies. “The performing arts shouldn’t be inhibited by theory.” Yi-Wen has established a solid foundation with a career that includes screenwriting, directing, as well as theatre, instilling his films with a unique and distinguished style. Yi-Wen’s first short film, Scenes of Violence, cost NT$3,000 to produce and earned NT$600,000 in returns from television sales in Taiwan and Japan. This success gave him the confidence to devote himself to the film industry. Chen Yi-Wen was even interviewed by Wealth Magazine for an in-depth report on the success of his short film for its high ROI (return on investment). In 1998, a Japanese corporation invested in Chen Yi-Wen’s first feature film JAM. The film set a record of continuously running for over three months in theatres. After the success of ''JAM'', Yi-Wen completed a gangster film, A Chance to Die, once again getting financing from Japan. He asked Miki Mizuno, a well-known Japanese actress, and Takashi Kashiwabara, a famous Japanese idol who is also popular in Taiwan, to play the main characters. This was his second feature film. For his third feature film, The Cabbie, Yi-Wen was able to get Rie Miyazawa, an accomplished Japanese actress, to play the leading role of the movie. The Cabbie was a fresh and inventive take on the Taiwanese comedy. Yi-Wen’s creativity and skills are on full display in the work of these three films. In being vivid and confident in the shooting, drawing on a strong foundation of the visual arts, the dramatics of storytelling, and with a focus on the shaping each characters’ unique inner lives, Chen Yi-Wen has always been able to effectively create entertaining and audience-friendly films while still maintaining his a strong vision. Chen Yi-Wen has continued to search for new and innovative storytelling methods. He returned from a short-term sabbatical in New York, with a renewed focus on producing high quality films. Yi-Wen finished a 35mm feature film, Tripping (aka: Time Tripper) in 2006, which combined the road movie with a martial arts film. In 2013, he produced and directed As the Winds Blow. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chen Yi Wen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
