rising director

Li Xia gesticulated arrogantly: "So, like this, after a while, you two... right here, pretending to be busy..."

0019 [thinking]

"So, like this, after a while, you two... right here, pretending to be busy... Then at this time, our leading actor, alas, big name Liu is here." Li Xia was talking enthusiastically, and Liu Yang pointed Pointing to the outside, Li Xia immediately greeted him.

The camera continued to focus on Huang Haibo and Zu Feng, and Zu Feng just wanted to ask: "How do we pretend?"

"Well, what does the executive director do?" Huang Haibo asked suspiciously.

Without giving them an answer, Zhang Yang turned on the red headlight outside and shone inside the room.A scene of filming by the crew unfolded slowly, and Li Xia sat on the chair that should belong to Wan Xiaohu with the qualifications, holding the script in one hand, and urged: "Come on, get ready, hurry up...Okay, Ready, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, go!"

On the small monitor, Huang Haibo and Zu Feng stood like wooden figures, not knowing how to "pretend" to be busy.

"Cut, it's over!" Wan Xiaohu yelled, everyone was very happy in this set of shots, especially Li Xia, who performed the demeanor of a bad director to the fullest.

Hearing the card, Li Xia was not satisfied: "Is this over? No more one?"

"You are still addicted to being a director. Hurry up, it's my turn." Wan Xiaohu changed into a suit and started his "Liu Yitiao" trick.

Just after lighting a cigarette and preparing to start the show, I saw a beautiful woman, Su Ya, standing at the door.I don't know when Su Ya has arrived, Wan Xiaohu wanted to stop, but Su Ya smiled and motioned him to continue.

"Okay, tiger, 3, 2, 1, start!" Li Xia shouted to start.

Wan Xiaohu shook his sleeves immediately, and then read his lines: "I don't want to..." He changed his hand to hold a cigarette, and continued to the second half of the sentence: "I want to discuss it again."

Playing with Wan Xiaohu was Asru, a class of 98 acting student, crying and kneeling, tugging at Wan Xiaohu's trousers: "You...you promised me to solve this problem for me, didn't you?"

Wan Xiaohu tried hard to tear off his trousers, with a hideous expression on his face, the effect was funny.

At this time, another co-star came on stage, Cui Bo, a girl from the 99-level acting department. Seeing this scene, she suddenly shouted in surprise: "Sister?"

Wan Xiaohu pretended to be surprised, and took a deep breath.

"Why are you here?"

"You heartless." Cui Bo pointed out.

"Stop, cow!" The camera turned to Li Xia, who was sitting on a chair and laughing.

Wan Xiaohu also chuckled: "How about it, Director Li, it's not bad, huh?"

"Absolutely." Li Xia raised his thumbs with both hands, "No wonder you are called Liu Tiao." In this way, all the tricks are over.

Wan Xiaohu immediately looked back at the effect of one shot, thought it was not bad, and said with a stern face: "Clean up and call it a day. Zhang Yang, the progress of the film is already over half, hurry up and get me the soundtrack. Chen Chong, city scenery You can go and see if the film has been developed, and I have to go over it at night to see if I need to reshoot."

After a long talk, I drove with Su Ya to some Xinyuanzhuang teahouse.

"Producer Su, which Asian American film and television, have you never heard of it?"

While driving, Su Ya said, "I've never heard of it. It's normal. Yamei Film and Television is not a company that normally distributes movies. You know, they make pirated discs."

"Pirate CD?"

"Yeah, is it weird?"

"Producer Su, you're getting more and more difficult for me to understand. I have to make a statement first. I, Wan Xiaohu, make movies regularly. I don't follow crooked ways." Wan Xiaohu instinctively glanced at Su Ya. She has a very good figure. , good-looking, rich and beautiful, and a college student, why did he start a pirate business?

Su Ya seemed to have noticed Wan Xiaohu's thoughts, and chuckled: "I said tiger, you don't think I'm in the business of pirated discs, do you?"

"Well, how could it be?" Wan Xiaohu replied vaguely.

"Don't think about it, Yamei Film and Television is indeed engaged in the business of pirated discs, but now it is on the shore. In the past, they mainly engaged in the business of pirated VCDs. This year, VCDs have been impacted by DVDs. The market is not doing well. They are going to switch to legitimate movie distribution. Business. Oh, by the way, Xu Xianhai is my dad's former subordinate, so don't play tricks with him later, what to say, I don't know much about the copyright price of movies, you make up your mind."

"That's it." Wan Xiaohu nodded, expressing his understanding.People who work in the film industry more or less understand the development of DVD and VCD in China during the period around 2000, and their impact on the domestic film market.In this era, with the price reduction of DVD players, DVDs almost killed Chinese movies.

In 99, there were no more than 1000 films from Hollywood, Hong Kong and domestic films that grossed more than 12 million yuan in the Mainland.It can be said that the Chinese film market is almost dead.It is precisely this situation that prompted the country to begin to adjust its policies and led to the introduction of the theater chain system.

This is the worst era for Chinese films and the best era for Chinese filmmakers.

The replacement of the old and new systems has starved the conservative crocodiles to death, and also fed new giant crocodiles. Huayi Brothers, Orange Sky Entertainment, and Poly Bona all rose in this era and became giants in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Xu Xianhai also seemed to want to develop into a giant crocodile, but Wan Xiaohu didn't have much impression of him, probably because he died in the process of evolution.

"Your father's old subordinate? A soldier?" Wan Xiaohu thought of something again.

"correct."

"Oh", Wan Xiaohu didn't speak again.He already understood that Su Ya should be the daughter of an officer in an army.After he understood, Wan Xiaohu didn't continue to ask the bottom line, he had no intention of being soft.And after the filming of "Waiting Alone", maybe I and Su Ya will no longer meet each other, so what's the point of asking the bottom line.

Cars travel on the roads of the capital, surrounded by rows of high-rise buildings or construction sites under construction.

Through the car window, Wan Xiaohu seemed to see the capital 14 years later.At that time, I was like a pedestrian on the side of the road, walking hurriedly in the streets and alleys, looking for a little meaning and proof of life.

He knows that he can't go back to the confused year of 2014, and he started to fight again in 2000.

To live a wonderful self.

Don't be decadent, don't regret!

……

Su Ya didn't drive fast, and occasionally turned her head to look at Wan Xiaohu.This is a not-so-handsome young man, with a rather thin body, with a three-seven cut that is more popular nowadays, and a sparse beard at the corner of his mouth that hasn't been shaved clean.Moreover, Su Ya knew that Wan Xiaohu was not tall, only a little over 1.7 meters tall, and his looks were average. If he was placed in a sea of ​​people, no one would take a second look at him.

But it was this sophomore directing student who pulled in a film crew and ignored her as an investment.

She doesn't know much about movies, but she has more information. She knows that the movie industry will be a sunrise industry, and she intends to enter it.For Wan Xiaohu, Su Ya still appreciates it very much. This person has a strong confidence that he doesn't know where he came from, and he also has a clear view of the future development of the Chinese film industry.

Even though she didn't know if he really saw it clearly, or if he was pretending to ignore others, Su Ya still felt that Wan Xiaohu had a convincing temperament.When he looked out of the window, there was a hint of incomprehensible look in the corner of his eyes, which was different.

She is optimistic about this "Waiting Alone", and if possible, she also hopes that Wan Xiaohu can join her career and help.

Of course, everyone has their own aspirations. Su Ya felt that once "Waiting Alone" was successful, Wan Xiaohu would not necessarily be interested in her small company.

Who knows about the future.

……

The trees on the side of the road receded quickly, perhaps everyone was thinking.

0020【Director Xiaohu】

Xinyuanzhuang Teahouse is not actually a building, but a courtyard house that is very common in the old capital, transformed into a teahouse.The environment is elegant, with the charm of the old capital.Wan Xiaohu saw Xu Xianhai, the general manager of Yamei Film and Television, in the seat by the window.

The big back was combed meticulously, and the beard was cleanly shaved. If it wasn't for the news revealed by Su Ya, Wan Xiaohu would never have believed that this man had been a soldier, so he clearly looked like a successful businessman.

"Uncle Hai, let me introduce you. This is Director Wan Xiaohu. Director Wan, this is General Manager Xu Xianhai." Su Ya introduced everyone.

"Hello, Manager Xu." Wan Xiaohu stretched out his hand reservedly.
