rising director

Because of the previous phone conversation, Dandelion's employees, led by Su Ya, have already greeted them at the front desk.

Wan Xiaohu introduced: "Director Zheng, Miss Quan, this is Su Ya, the general manager of Dandelion Film Company. Su Ya, this is Zheng Xuntuo, the director of Sdus Company, and this is Jun Ji-hyun, the heroine of "My Sassy Girlfriend" Miss."

After getting acquainted, it was a visit.

Dandelion had just moved, and everything in the office was brand new. Zheng Xuntuo couldn't help admiring it.

"President Su, Director Wan told me when I was in Korea that you are just a small company that has just been established. I also searched for information, and you have only produced two films. I didn't expect that being famous is not as good as meeting each other. This is a vibrant company. You guys Both of them are college students, but they can work hard to build such a company, which is amazing."

Su Ya smiled and said, "It's all thanks to director Wan Xiaohu. The two movies he made were both very successful at the box office."

Just as I was talking, the receptionist girl ran over and said, "Mr. Su, Mr. Wan, manager Wang Zhonglei from Huayi Brothers is here."

"Brother Lei?" Wan Xiaohu nodded and said to Su Ya, "You guys chat first, I'll pick up Wang Zhonglei."

Before the words fell, Wang Zhonglei's laughter came over: "Suya, Xiaohu, the God of Wealth is here, and you haven't swept the couch to welcome him. Today, I came here with a check and asked you for a drink."

Seeing Wang Zhonglei's arrival, Wan Xiaohu gave another introduction to everyone.

"It turned out to be a guest from Korea. Is this the heroine? She is really beautiful, not bad."

Jun Zhixian bowed slightly: "Thank you."

Everyone sat down in the meeting room, Li Yumin started making tea, and Wan Xiaohu asked Wang Zhonglei, "Brother Lei, what money did you bring?"

"The mainland share of "Butterfly Effect" has passed the one-month release date, and the film has been scheduled to be drawn. The total box office was calculated yesterday, 5060 million yuan, which actually exceeded the 5000 million mark. You are now a mainland commercial director. .1!" Wang Zhonglei exaggerated.

The female assistant next to Jun Ji Hyun seemed to be a part-time translator, and immediately translated these words into Korean.

Zheng Xuntuo said in surprise: "Wan Dao is the No. 1 commercial director in the mainland? 5000 million box office?"

"You guys are from South Korea, so you may not know it yet. Wan Xiaohu has made two films in total. The first "Waiting Alone" cost 50 yuan and got a box office of 2180 million. DVD sales are even more popular. The second "Butterfly Effect" "With a cost of 600 million yuan and a box office of 5060 million yuan, it has achieved good results in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and, in the near future, it will be released in Korea. The film market in our country has just sprouted, and Wan Xiaohu will be able to achieve such results. The future is limitless."

Wang Zhonglei really hoped to get the distribution rights of "My Sassy Girl", so naturally, he had to help Wang Xiaohu brag about it.

And this is not bragging, just telling the truth.

"Wan Dao is young and promising, very powerful." Zheng Xuntuo praised, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

A 20-year-old director has made two blockbuster films in a row. This kind of talent is worthy of investment and cooperation.

"So-so, it's just luck." Wan Xiaohu smiled low-key, with an indifferent expression between his brows.

Wang Zhonglei added: "Let me make a plan. When will I hold a celebration banquet and break the box office of 5000 million. There are not many movies in the country that can do it. How about exciting it and enjoying the scenery?"

"I don't care, brother Lei will do as he sees."

Bragging, bullshit.

One morning passed.

After a big meal at the hotel, Li Xia took Zheng Xuntuo to inspect the market, and Wan Xiaohu took Quan Zhixian and her assistant to the Firefly Film and Television Base in Zhangjiawan District.This is the resident filming location of "My Sassy Girlfriend".

Firefly film and television base is located in Tongzhou, which is a photography base built by Firefly Chemical Company.

There are 4200 studios with different specifications totaling [-] square meters, and each studio has a supporting director room, meeting room, dialogue room, costume room, dressing room, and prop room.The ancillary facilities in the base are also very complete. There are office buildings, cast and crew dormitories, and large and small restaurants that can be used by [-] people at the same time, which can meet the needs of three film crews of [-] people at the same time.

Wan Xiaohu chose this place mainly because of the relatively complete range of photographic equipment here. Photographic shock absorbers, moving lanes, lift trucks, a full set of nearly a thousand lighting equipment and other pre- and post-production equipment required for shooting are very convenient to rent and use, and there are also fireflies. Pre- and post-shooting, recording, editing a full set of equipment and professional operators.

Different from pseudo-sci-fi like "The Butterfly Effect", "My Sassy Girl" pursues a sense of imagery and has relatively high requirements for photographic equipment.

When he arrived at the base, Wan Xiaohu immediately called the assistant director and asked him to take someone to the office building for a meeting.

"Let's hold a meet-and-greet with the cast and crew in the afternoon to get acquainted with each other." Entering the director's studio in the office building, Wan Xiaohu said to Jun Zhixian.

"Ok."

"When you come to China to film, you can feel at ease. The daily life and so on will be arranged by the production crew."

"clear."

Wan Xiaohu took out a script from the drawer and handed it over: "This is a script specially written for you to compare with Han, you have to read it carefully, I have always made movies very fast, if you can keep up with my Rhythm."

"Director, don't worry, I will work hard to do my homework." Jun Zhixian nodded seriously, and then began to read the script.Not short, but not too long hair scattered, unable to conceal the pure aura under the light makeup.Unlike most beautiful actresses, Jun Ji-hyun may not have such exquisite facial features, but when blended together, there is always an unstoppable charm.

Dangdang.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

It was Ning Hao who pushed the door and came in: "Director, everyone is here."

Wan Xiaohu stood up: "Okay, let's go there too. By the way, this is the heroine, Jun Zhixian."

This time, Wan Xiaohu fought again in the arena, "My Sassy Girl" was in preparation for filming, and he shot three movies frantically in one year, which is considered a ruthless person.As for the crew, most of them are from the original cast. After all, they disbanded not long ago. It is very convenient to get in touch, and they have worked together before and are familiar with each other.

Needless to say, the producer, with his own investment, Wan Xiaohu naturally became the producer himself, and by the way, gave Su Ya a name.

There are two assistant directors, Ning Hao and Cheng Er, who originally wanted to invite Wu Ershan, but Wu Ershan and his friends went to Tokyo to participate in a street art exhibition.

The casting director and production director are Li Xia. The role of the production director is the person under the producer who is really responsible for the production work.

The director's assistant is Liu Yang. Liu Yang worked in "Waiting Alone" and "The Butterfly Effect" as a dramatist. He has long since given up his studies and officially became an employee of Dandelion, making movies with Wan Xiaohu.

The photographer is still Inspector Lu Le, he is a real master of photography, he can be said to be Zhang Yimou's queen photographer, but Zhang Yimou has not yet found a good subject to shoot a movie.It is a pleasure to cooperate with "Butterfly Effect", and naturally, I will cooperate with Wan Xiaohu again.

The deputy photographer is still Wan Xiaohu's good buddy Chen Chong, and the two photography assistants are Li Hui and Wang Kefei.

The sound engineer is Zhang Yang, and the makeup artist is Xu Ying.

Basically, the crew of "The Butterfly Effect" was copied, of course, with some slimming down. "My Sassy Girl" is small and doesn't require a huge crew.

Entering the meeting room, the noisy scene immediately quieted down.The accumulation of fame of the two films allowed Wan Xiaohu to truly realize the majesty of a director.

"Is everyone here?" Wan Xiaohu asked casually.

Cheng Er replied: "All 22 staff members have arrived, the leading actor and eight supporting roles have come, only the leading actress is missing."

Wan Xiaohu said with a smile: "Here is the heroine. Let me introduce you. This is Jeon Ji-hyun from Korea. She will be the heroine. She doesn't know how to speak very much. Please forgive me."

Jun Zhixian bowed gracefully, and said in broken Mandarin: "Hi everyone, I am Jun Zhixian, please take care of me."

Crash.

When the beauty came, a group of Nortel students from the production team immediately screamed and applauded.

"Okay, okay, don't scare her. Jun Zhixian, find a seat for yourself." Wan Xiaohu also came from his student days, and it's no surprise that heckling this kind of thing, young people, restless.
