rising director

Wan Xiaohu immediately called the editor-in-chief of Mtime.com, who took office at the end of last year, and Ms. Xu Yin, the deputy editor-in-chief of "China Film News", asked what was going on.

"Editor Xu, I just saw a post about infectious diseases on Mtime.com, why was it deleted?"

"Mr. Wan, it's like this. The National Network Supervision has issued a notice to all websites, prohibiting the spread of rumors about infectious diseases. All news about infectious diseases must be blocked."

"Nonsense." Wan Xiaohu's tone was a little cold, "My Mtime.com doesn't believe this, you immediately restore the blockade, and post a notice on the front page, saying that the infectious disease is coming, let everyone stay careful, try not to go Do not go out in public, and wait for the government's next instructions!"

"Mr. Wan, this is inappropriate, the higher-ups..."

"You just do it, and I'll go to say hello!" Just as Wan Xiaohu finished speaking, he suddenly realized that rumors and panic are more terrifying than infectious diseases. Although he knows the dangers of **, it is not proactive to release news without permission. Does it provoke panic? It is useless to the epidemic, but it will intensify the harm. "Forget it, let's wait a little bit, don't do it for now, stay tuned, and wait for my notice at any time."

Human life is at stake, Wan Xiaohu hung up the phone and went to Su Ya's office.

"Su Ya, something serious has happened. An infectious disease broke out in Dongguang. It is very serious and highly contagious. But the government has lost its head and only focuses on blocking the news. You can contact your family and see if you can go up Pass on the news, this kind of thing cannot be blocked, and the movement of people must be restricted as soon as possible, instead of blocking the news and continuing to make the epidemic worse!"

"What's going on?" Su Ya didn't know.

"A friend of mine sent news from Dongguang that the harm this time is not small, and we must pay attention to it, but the country obviously didn't pay attention!"

Su Ya still believed in Wan Xiaohu, so she immediately contacted her family and passed on the news.

Originally, the Su family was skeptical about Wan Xiaohu's news. After all, the government did not report any deaths from infectious diseases, and officials at all levels were very calm. They only said that there was indeed an epidemic in Dongguang, but it was under control and there was no harm.

However, Wan Xiaohu scoffed at this. This was a real crisis. He remembered that the official death toll later on was more than 1000, and a large number of people were cured but left with serious sequelae.This kind of thing should not be sloppy. After asking the Su family to help spread the news, Wan Xiaohu mobilized his own network and actively contacted the Ministry of Health, trying to get the other party to take measures.

But after all, he is a soft-spoken person. Not only did he not let the government take it seriously, he continued to block the news and conceal the epidemic situation. On the contrary, Zhang Kang, the Minister of Health, despised him at a dinner party: "Wan Xiaohu has a brain problem, so don't take pictures of him." Movies, even worry about infectious diseases, and go back to my hometown to stay in fear of death."

"This evil pen can also be a minister, what a nonsense!"

After Wan Xiaohu found out, his seven orifices lit a fire. He didn't care whether it was illegal or not. He directly asked Mtime.com to publish the news of the epidemic, and used euphemistic words to ask everyone to stay at home as much as possible and not to have more contact with outsiders.At the same time, let Dongguang's netizens collect more information and put it together.

Then he personally brought these materials, together with several directors who had read the materials and valued them very much, such as Feng Xiaogang, Xie Jin, Zhang Yimou and others, requested to see the Prime Minister.

Several famous directors visited together, and the materials were taken seriously. The Prime Minister expressed his gratitude to Wan Xiaohu and Feng Xiaogang for their concern for the country and the people, and promised to pay more attention to them.

Until March, thanks to Wan Xiaohu's unremitting efforts, the news about the epidemic finally got a clear answer.

The state machinery is fully activated to fight against corruption.

Only then was Wan Xiaohu relieved, and with the prepared crew, isolated from the world, while resisting the persecution, he filmed with peace of mind.At the same time, Dandelion and its affiliated companies have paid vacations for those who can take vacations to avoid corruption.

……

"Okay, Mom, I understand. Our crew is now shooting in isolation. I won't be infected. You should also be careful. Don't come into contact with outsiders and stay at home as much as possible."

After finishing the call, Wan Xiaohu sat in the studio and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Now the epidemic is under the control of the state, the epidemic has not spread in a large area, and the publicity is timely, everyone is not as panicked as in the previous track, and a group of experts have been gathered in advance to study the vaccine. Develop on the bright side.

After doing his best, Wan Xiaohu felt relieved. He is not a saint, and he is always concerned about the country and the people. But when it comes to such big choices, he will never cheat and wait and see. He will do his best if he can.In the future, how to live and continue to live, will not feel uneasy.

"Director, the track-changing camera is broken. The new camera is still in transit. It may take half an hour." Liu Yang walked in wearing a peaked cap. Now he has been upgraded again and has become the assistant director of "The Wind".

"Then rest for half an hour." Wan Xiaohu nodded, "Go ahead and call Li Bingbing over, I want to talk to her."

"Ok."

This is the cadre club in Haijin City, one of the indoor shooting locations of "The Wind". The crew will shoot here for half a month, then rush to Qingwang's mansion to shoot the next stage, and finally go to Bincheng and Daocheng to shoot exterior scenes.

Flipping through the script, Wan Xiaohu was writing and drawing with a pen while waiting for Li Bingbing.

0205【Actors pursuing progress】

In the spring of 1940, Wang Zhaoming negotiated peace with the Japanese government and established a new "National Government" in Jinling. The government of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region under his leadership has become a tripartite confrontation, with each acting in its own way and hindering each other.After Wang Zhaoming took office, he carried out three major policies: building the army within the sphere of influence, clearing the countryside to suppress the Communist Party, and at the same time luring frustrated mountain cities to send military and political officials into the cabinet...

On October 1942, 10, the Wang puppet government held a grand ceremony to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the founding of the National Government. An important member of the Wang puppet government was shot dead, which aroused great attention from the Japanese side.Takeda, the head of the imperial army's secret service, suspected that this series of assassinations was planned by the "Old Gun", the leader of the g-party in the Beiping area, and hoped to seize this opportunity to crack his organization.

However, after an assassination failed, an arrested lesbian was tortured and never leaked any secrets. In the end, he was conquered by acupuncture and moxibustion by a man named Ye, and the Japanese army finally got the information.Knowing that there is a G party code-named "Old Ghost" lurking in the headquarters, they designed to induce the old ghost to send wrong telegrams.

They also identified the five people who were most likely to contact the telegram, Wu Zhiguo, the captain of the Puppet Army Suppressing Bandits, Bai Xiaonian, the attendant officer of the commander of the Puppet Army Suppressing Bandits, Li Ningyu, the head of the translation team of the Puppet Army Suppressing Bandits Headquarters, and Gu Xiaomeng, the administrative sending and receiving commissioner of the headquarters, and Jin Shenghuo, the director of the Military Aircraft Division of the Puppet Army's Bandit Suppression Corps, went to the closed Qiuzhuang to find the old ghost by various means.

At the same time, the old ghost also wants to recover the wrong information he sent. A battle of wits and courage, a collision of love and truth, will be staged in Qiuzhuang...

As early as the end of the year, Wan Xiaohu and Mai Jia wrote the script together, which roughly continued the plot of the original "The Wind".However, in some details, there have been many changes.Trying to make each character's personality more complete, so that the plot can stand up to scrutiny.

As for the casting, before the script was written, Wan Xiaohu had selected several main candidates.

Wu Zhiguo, played by Sun Honglei.The original version was Zhang Hanyu, but now Zhang Hanyu is still unknown, has no star effect, and signed a contract with Huayi Brothers early, so there is no future for training.Therefore, I found Sun Honglei, who has been emerging in the past two years, to play the role.

Bai Xiaonian, played by Chen Kun, Wan Xiaohu originally planned to cast Alec Su in the original version, but Alec Su's schedule for this year is already full.Finally contacted Chen Kun, who was also very interested in the role of Master Rabbit, so he accepted it.

Jin Shenghuo, played by Yingda.

Wang Tianxiang, Chief of the Secret Service of the Puppet Army, played by famous actor Wang Zhi.

Takeda, played by Huang Xiaoming, the head of Dandelion.

Li Ningyu, played by Li Bingbing.At this time, Li Bingbing hadn't gotten angry yet, of course. Qin Sirong in "Youth Bao Qingtian" still gave her a lot of popularity, and now she is a newcomer favored by Huayi Brothers.At the beginning, Wan Xiaohu had already snatched Li Bingbing's masterpiece "Waiting Alone". I have been sorry, Chinese stars, he still likes this actress very much, and "The Wind" has no plan to snatch it again.Nature invites.

Gu Xiaomeng, without saying anything, invited Zhou Xun.

These are the main actors. Of course, as the owner of Dandelion, Wan Xiaohu also arranged for his own actors to come over to make soy sauce.Yao Chen cameo as the female killer who was arrested, Huang Blog played the cleaner who posted the lottery notice, Jun Ji-hyun cameo as the female nurse at the meeting, and himself, Li Ningyu's boyfriend Liu Linzong as a guest.

The staff of the entire crew are also invited celebrities in the industry. There are a total of 200 people, belonging to the big crew.The total investment of the film is currently tentatively set at 5000 million RMB. In cooperation with Huayi Brothers, Dandelion is in charge of production, and Huayi Brothers is in charge of domestic distribution. The Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas parts are of course Golden Harvest Entertainment, which is 24.68% owned by Dandelion.

At the same time, due to the shooting of many big scenes, Haijin TV Station, Haijin City Government, Bincheng City Government, and CCTV Zhuozhou Film and Television Filming Base were specially co-ordinated to coordinate shooting issues.And a Qiuzhuang was specially built in Bincheng for shooting.

From "Waiting Alone" at 50 yuan, to "Butterfly Effect" and "My Sassy Girl" at 600 million yuan, to "Infernal Affairs" at 2500 million Hong Kong dollars, and now directly to "The Wind" at 5000 million yuan, Wan Xiaohu's filming The scale is stronger and stronger, and it is more difficult to control the crew.

Fortunately, although the story took place during the Anti-Japanese War, there are quite a few sponsors. Three jewelry companies, one furniture company and two clothing companies have been finalized, and the sponsorship amount has reached 500 million yuan.Originally, many merchants came to the door hoping to place advertisements, asking prices in the millions, but Wan Xiaohu flatly refused.

"Wind Sound" will never place any advertisements.

As a director who favors commercialization, Wan Xiaohu has no objection to placing advertisements. Even "Infernal Affairs" has placed a few advertisements, but some movies themselves are not suitable for placing advertisements, especially if it affects the plot, so you have to persist Not implanted.For example, there are several time-honored shops that want to put their shop names on the Double Tenth Festival of the plot.

It doesn't require a long shot, it's fine if you can see the name clearly, but Wan Xiaohu still shakes his head, these shops don't belong to this era, they can't stand up to scrutiny, besides, the double tenth festival is just a passing shot, the shots are wasted here, the plot is Too procrastinating.And for a movie with such a main theme, it sounds ridiculous for you to come up with an advertisement.

With such a large investment, without placing advertisements, revenue will inevitably decrease, so it is even more important to make movies well.

The plot must be written well, the rhythm must be well grasped, and the acting skills of the actors must be the best.

Taking advantage of the broken camera, I was going to tell Li Bingbing another play.

The two heroines, Li Bingbing and Zhou Xun are the most important scenes in the movie. Zhou Xun is an acting school like an elf, while Li Bingbing is not as brilliant as he was later carved out. Wan Xiaohu has more demands on her.

"Director, are you looking for me?" Li Bingbing paused outside the studio.

Wan Xiaohu put down the pen and nodded: "Yes, come in and talk."
