rising director

Wan Xiaohu raised his head, looked carefully at the little girl in front of him, and was stunned for a moment.

He only thought about making a movie, but he forgot that he has returned to the year 2000, and the people he knew before will continue to know him again.Traveling through 14 years in a blink of an eye, there are too many things worthy of his emotion.

"What's the matter, tiger, do I have flowers on my face? Or did you finally find out that you are gay? I don't like this!" The little girl stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Wan Xiaohu's eyes.

This person is nicknamed "Cheng Chong" and his real name is Chen Chong.

Many memories about Chen Chong suddenly flashed in Wan Xiaohu's mind.He is a student of the Photography Department of the 98th grade and Wan Xiaohu's roommate. Because of his interesting name, he is called Cheng Long's younger brother Cheng Chong by his classmates!If history develops according to the original route, Chen Chong will go to Hengdian to develop after graduation.

Beijing, Hengdian, one north and one south, in the first one or two years, we still kept in touch, but later we all got unsatisfactory, so we broke off contact.The friends who used to be good enough to wear a pair of trousers just disappeared.

Wan Xiaohu didn't know how he felt now, and he never thought that he would meet Chen Chong again in this way.

The one who came in with Chen Chong was Li Xia from the dormitory next door, nicknamed "Ma Xia". He was thinner than Chen Chong, with a lot of numbness on his face.He is a student of the Directing Department of the 98th grade, and his main research is film and television sales.Because they live close to each other, they have a good relationship and often eat and drink together.

However, like Chen Chong, Li Xia also went to Hengdian later, and there was no news after that.

"Adult, hemp shrimp." Wan Xiaohu said the words, but found that they were hoarse.

"Damn, you little farewell, we can't bear to call you so affectionate!" Ma Xia hurriedly hugged his arm, making a frightened expression.

"Get out, I'm a comrade, and I won't fall in love with you, a thin bamboo pole. It weighs less than a hundred catties, and it will probably break if you toss it twice." Wan Xiaohu grinned loudly.

It's nice to do it all over again.

But Chen Chong blinked: "Tiger, what do you mean, you don't like Ma Xia, which means, you have a crush on me?"

Wan Xiaohu rolled his eyes: "Get lost!"

"Hey, that's right. With your tone of voice, buddies feel at ease." Chen Chong laughed loudly, sat down on the edge of the bed, and pulled out the white paper written by Wan Xiaohu, ""Waiting Alone"? All right, Tiger, Are you starting to write a script?"

Wan Xiaohu snatched back the paper, coughed and said, "It's just nonsense."

"What script, let me see." Ma Xia also read it.

"Don't, don't, listen to me. As for me, after thinking about it, I think, we can't just hang around like this. My buddies are determined to make a good appearance in the entertainment industry. Now that studies are not heavy, only a few classes a week , most of the time is idle. Idle is also idle, why not find something to do. Don’t you think so?”

A good guy with three gangs, Wan Xiaohu looked at Chen Chong and Li Xia, and suddenly got hesitant.They are all good buddies, there is no reason to make a fortune by themselves, and not to help the brothers.Moreover, if I want to make a movie, I must have helpers. Chen Chong studied photography, Li Xia studied distribution, and he has many classmates who study acting, soundtrack, and art. They can completely form a film crew.

He has no contacts and no funds now, which means he wants to complete a pornographic movie.If we can’t afford big-name celebrities, good photographers and prop masters, let Nortel’s future-promising seniors and juniors come to make up the numbers.Even if the students are inexperienced, it doesn't matter, anyway, he just wants to make a movie to be sold to the movie channel, not a classic, just make do with it.

Save money, but also give students exercise, serve multiple purposes!

Licking his lips, Wan Xiaohu said again: "I'm going to draft a script now, and the ideas are all in my head. But you also know that if you want to make a movie, you can't just talk about it. I No money, no one, everything has to be built from scratch, it's very difficult, do you two want to think about it, and do it with me?"

"Make a movie? Brother, you're out of your mind. What do you use to make a movie? This is not a sketch at a class reunion. Everyone is having fun, and a show will come out." Ma Xia exclaimed.

"Tiger, your idea is too unrealistic." Chen Chong followed suit and shook his head.

Wan Xiaohu had expected the reaction of the two of them. Ordinary people may not know how difficult it is to make a movie, but they are students of Nortel, and they will have this bowl of rice in the future. Naturally, they understand that making a movie is difficult. Wan Xiaohu 14 years ago never dared to think that he could make movies.

However, this Wan Xiaohu is already 14 years later.

As a reborn person, he has the confidence and confidence that others do not have. Making movies is no longer far away for him.

Because he is not afraid of risks!

He won't make bad movies!

0003 [Beautiful Times]

The smell in the dormitory was indeed a bit heavy. Neither Wan Xiaohu nor Chen Chong were good at tidying up. It was normal for them not to wash their clothes for a few weeks.Rebreathing the air of the dormitory that had been away for more than ten years, Wan Xiaohu was really not used to it. He opened the window to let in some air, then sat down and introduced his idea to Chen Chong and Li Xia.

"Immatures, shrimps, I know that making a movie is difficult, and it is impractical with our background. But listen to me confidently, and I will tell you how I want to make a movie .”

Wan Xiaohu waved his hand and motioned everyone to look closer: "What are the conditions for making a successful movie? Have you thought about it?"

"Well, the script should be the most important thing, right?" Chen Chong said uncertainly.

"Money, scripts, actors, and directors are all important." Li Xia said.

Wan Xiaohu smiled: "I have thought about this question for a long time. My idea is that for a film to succeed, the most important thing is the content, followed by the team, actors, marketing, director and investment. Needless to say, there is no investment. We can’t make a movie even if we invest in it. As for the director, for classic movies, the director is very important, but for general commercial movies, the requirements for directors are not so strong.”

"Let's talk about marketing, Ma Xia, you are a student of the director department. You should understand that making a movie is not something you can do well. Others will pay to watch it. You have to make your name famous. What is more important than marketing is the actors. The story is performed by actors, and I don’t need to say more about its importance.”

"Further up, it is the team. A team is the soul of a movie. Photography, props, soundtrack, art, lighting, makeup, as well as electricians, special effects, martial arts, and drama management are all part of this soul. Only by working hard and demanding together can we make the movie even better."

"But all of this can be given up, and there are alternatives. In Hollywood, in a mature film market, teams, actors, marketing, directors, and investment have become an assembly line method of operation, but only, No one can replace the content of a movie.”

"A good movie has many elements that touch you, such as a casual look from an actor, or a song that makes you feel sad, or a beautiful picture, but no one can deny that a single look, song, or picture, absolutely It will not make you think it is a classic, only when you immerse yourself in the content of the story, you will feel, oh, this is a classic!"

After Wan Xiaohu finished speaking, he looked at the two of them, wondering if they understood.

Chen Chong nodded, and asked puzzledly: "Tiger, I can understand what you said, and I agree with you. But even if we only made a so-so movie, there are still countless movies in front of us. Difficulties. Do you have a good script? Are you sure the script has potential? Can you find enough people? Can you attract investment?”

"That's why I'm telling you this, adult worms and hemp shrimps, we're all good buddies, don't you have anything to say?"

Ma Xia nodded: "As long as you don't have a heavy taste, of course we are good buddies."

"Get out, seriously, I can't finish a movie by myself, so I officially invite you to join the crew of "Waiting Alone"!"

"You really want to do it?" Chen Chong wondered.

"It can be false. The story of "Waiting Alone" definitely has a selling point. It is a very good script. I also have the confidence to make it well. Now I won't tell you how to prepare it, I just ask, Are you buddies, do you dare to go all out with your buddies? Should you continue to be a wretch, or do something big?"

After finishing speaking, Wan Xiaohu lay down on the quilt and handed over the choice to the two of them.

He firmly believes that he will succeed, and hopes to make a fortune with his brothers, but it also depends on everyone's luck.When he was humbled, Wan Xiaohu would never treat him badly if he fought together.I'm sorry, Wan Xiaohu doesn't run a charity shop if he wants to rely on him after he becomes famous.

"Damn, tiger, you are forcing me with brotherhood, okay, don't you just fight it out, you dare to fight, and I, Chen Chong, am not a coward. I didn't say anything, I followed!" Chen Chong slapped the table and said with a tiger face. .

Ma Xia snorted: "Count me in, I can't do anything else, let me do the sales and distribution, I will go to as many film distribution companies as there are in the capital, don't wait to see if it doesn't come out as a whole." I am shrimp!"

"Brothers!"

Wan Xiaohu stretched out his hand, motioning for everyone to hold together.

Who knew that the two of them wouldn't even meet, and Ma Xia continued to moan: "Okay, tiger, don't be so busy sensationalizing, a smart woman can't live without rice, if you want to make a movie, you have to come up with the script, right?"

Withdrawing his hand, Wan Xiaohu took out a blank piece of paper, and wrote it in a hurry. Within 10 minutes, a simple summary of the plot and the relationship between the characters came out.

"Ma Xia, take this rough plot and character relationship, and the producer of the crew will do it for you. From the students who are willing to participate in this movie, pick out suitable candidates for me to audition. Of course, find The matter of actors can be postponed, you look for it first, and then start after I finish the script and investment."

"What about me?" Chen Chong asked.

"Immigrate, of course you are a photographer. However, go to your class and find a few people to help you. The premise is that you can use the DVCAM series, preferably the DSR-70P model. I feel that the pixels and stability of this DV sex, it is a bit superior to those of the same series.”

"Let's make a movie on DV?"
