rising director

As for whether it can be done, let's do our best to obey the destiny.

In short, with the release of the first trailer of "The Wind", the audience's expectations for this movie are getting bigger and bigger.The "Fengsheng" entry on Mtime.com has not yet opened the scoring function, but the number of comments has exceeded [-].

In fact, the first version of the trailer, because many special effects shots have not been done yet, the edits are just regular scenes.Wan Xiaohu has planned to make three versions of the trailer, and the second trailer will be launched in October.With a mix of bloopers and shots, the third trailer.That's when special effects shots come into play.

……

Time has entered the first ten days of August, and the post-production of "The Wind" has finally been completed.

Wan Xiaohu also embarked on the return journey.

"Jessica, when I come to the United States again, I will sign a contract with you and let you be my heroine." In a corner of the airport, Wan Xiaohu and Jessica reluctantly parted.

"Tger, I will miss you."

"Then call me, and I will fly to the United States as soon as I have time."

"Well, I will also make good preparations, strengthen my study of Chinese kung fu, and improve my skills as soon as possible."

"Don't work too hard, just learn flower racking." Wan Xiaohu said with concern. In fact, it was for his own consideration. If Jessica learned martial arts and found out that she was a complete pervert one day, Wan Xiaohu was afraid that she would not be able to beat her. , abused.

After kissing goodbye, the plane flew into the blue sky and white clouds.

In the following days, Wan Xiaohu was busy with the review of "The Wind".

At this time, Cheng Er's debut film "The Savage Senior Sister" was released hotly, and Jun Zhixian and Huang Xiaoming ran all over the venue to promote it.However, the attendance rate in the mainland is not very satisfactory. After three weeks, the box office has not yet reached 2000 million, which still accounts for the light of the premiere week. The premiere has passed 1100 million, but the word of mouth is not satisfactory.

According to netizens, "The Sassy Senior Sister" is good-looking, but there is still a long way to go from "My Sassy Girlfriend". One, this one is like a prequel and a side story "Sister Savage".

Therefore, although the cost has been recovered early, in South Korea, Hong Kong and other places, the box office is far from "My Sassy Girl", and the word-of-mouth on Mtime.com is 2 points lower.

"My Sassy Girlfriend" scored 8.7, while "Sister Sassy" only scored 6.7.

"Tiger, fucked up."

After Wan Xiaohu returned to China, at a gathering of old friends, Cheng Er spoke with a dull face, sipping down his wine.I thought that with the spring breeze of "My Sassy Girlfriend", I could rely on "Sassy Senior Sister" to become an instant hit, but in the end, I encountered Waterloo and smashed the golden signboard of Sassy Girlfriend.

Although the cost of the film is not high, there are many placements of advertisements, and it earns as much as it sells at the box office, but these are all supported by the brand of the first film, not "Savage Senior Sister".

Wan Xiaohu sighed: "It doesn't matter if you messed up, review your gains and losses, and start over again in the future."

Cheng Er just focused on drinking and didn't speak.

Seeing Cheng Er like this, Wan Xiaohu felt bored. To be honest, no one has the time to let go when making a movie.But if he fails, he will be dejected. This is not the character that a director should have. He is willing to support Cheng Er. After all, he has been the assistant director of several films for himself, and he has a good relationship.

But after this time, Cheng Er couldn't pull himself together, couldn't come up with a good script, and Wan Xiaohu didn't dare to invest casually.

After a few glasses of wine, Cheng Er simply lay down on the table and passed out.

Ask the driver to send Cheng Er back first, Wan Xiaohu and the others continued to eat, and after being disturbed by Cheng Er, everyone lost their interest.Liu Yang was about to change the subject and get active: "Brother Hu, has "The Wind" been reviewed?"

"Not yet. I asked Professor Zheng. The discussion was intense, but there was no result."

0221 [Commendation] The Fifth Change

While "The Wind" was waiting for review, Wan Xiaohu started two things, directing "Qin Shi Mingyue" and creating a new film.As Su Ya once said, he is a workaholic, he either goes to pick up girls, or he is just working, and he has no other hobbies.

By the end of August, the review results of "The Wind" came out.

Did not pass the trial.

The reason is that the torture methods in the film are too bloody and violent, especially the torture of Wu Zhiguo played by Sun Honglei, and the torture of Gu Xiaomeng played by Zhou Xun.

"This is simply a tertiary film! It's too bloody and violent!" A judge told reporters.

"I feel that the filming is very good, but there are some aspects that are really difficult to handle. We rarely encounter such situations, and it is difficult to define."

The first review was killed like this.

Wan Xiaohu immediately teamed up with Huayi Brothers to quickly do public relations, slightly cut some scenes of torture, and conducted a second review.

It's a pity that the review process was very fast, but the film was still rejected for the second time, and the reason was the same, bloody and violent.

"Little Tiger, the controversy is too great. Some judges really couldn't accept it when watching a movie. When they were tortured, several judges closed their eyes." Zheng Dongtian deliberately called Wan Xiaohu.As an old professor of Nortel, he still cares about the students who have grown up in Nortel.

In particular, Wan Xiaohu is still holding the title of graduate student of Nortel, and Zheng Dongtian is taking the course of the graduate student of the directing department. He is really a mentor.

"Professor, is there any other way?"

"It's difficult. I watched the movie from beginning to end. I watched it five times, to be honest. If these scenes of torture are deleted, the movie will be torn apart. If you don't delete it, it's a classic. If you delete it, it's ruining the classic. But if you don't delete it, there's nothing you can do about it." Passed the review. Hey, if you go to do public relations again, I will also help you speak well to the judges."

"Thank you professor, I will try again."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Xiaohu raised his head and looked out the window.There is a lot of traffic.

And on his studio computer, the second version of the trailer and the third version of the trailer have already been edited, just waiting for the subtitles with the release date to be added.

The version he shot was not as bloody and violent as the original version of "The Wind", but the original "The Wind" had been reviewed, and there was no case of being stuck.Now I shoot "The Wind", no matter the plot or the camera.They have all improved substantially, but they are stuck in the review, so it is depressing.

However, unlike "Infernal Affairs" being blocked, the "Infernal Affairs" being blocked was purely nonsense by the judges, but "The Wind" actually had bloody and violent scenes, which would cause discomfort for watching the movie.Wan Xiaohu was too embarrassed to make trouble.

Can only make great efforts.Moving on to PR.

But the movie can no longer be cut.

Rubbing his head, Wan Xiaohu called Wang Lei: "Brother Lei, what should we do? Can we increase our public relations efforts?"

Wang Lei was also depressed on the other end of the phone: "Those who can send money have already been sent. The rest are a few stubborn guys who will not accept soft and hard. Especially a few old women, people can't wait..."

"It's not going to work like this. If it doesn't go through the trial, I don't know how long it will be delayed. The trailer can't be launched, and the publicity can't be created."

"I'll think about a solution again, "The Wind" is just unjustifiable after trial."

Walking out of the director's studio, Wan Xiaohu was still rubbing his head vigorously. Just as Su Ya was also leaving the office, seeing Wan Xiaohu's depressed face, she came over and asked, "What's wrong, Xiaohu?"

"It's not big or small, I told you not to call me Xiaohu, you have to call me." Wan Xiaohu bluffed.

Su Ya didn't care about Wan Xiaohu's protest, and laughed: "I like it, so I'll call it."

In June this year, Su Ya graduated from Peking University.

She also got a bachelor's degree, and when Wan Xiaohu finished filming "The Wind", Su Ya, as a social person, changed her name from "tiger" to "little tiger".

Wan Xiaohu warned her several times, but Su Ya still went her own way.

"Little girl, do you believe that I will cut you?"

"I don't believe it." Su Ya shook her head arrogantly.
