rising director

Camera assistants: Li Hui, Wang Kefei (Nortel students, former "Waiting Alone" crew photographer).

Artist: Liu Xingang (original artist of "A Sigh").

Props masters: Wang Lijun, Ma Cheng (Nortel students, former prop masters of the crew of "Waiting Alone").

Makeup artist: Li Dongtian.

Makeup Assistant: Xu Ying.

Sound engineer: Zhang Yang, Liu Yangyang (Nortel students, former sound engineer of "Waiting Alone" crew).

In addition, the mechanics, lighting engineers, lighting assistants, and art assistants are all Nortel students.

There are 45 crew members, half of them are students brought by Wan Xiaohu from Nortel. The school also strongly supports the students to get exercise during their studies, especially since the summer vacation is coming soon, so there is no delay in their studies.The other part are all old filmmakers who have cooperated with Huayi Brothers.

For example, photographer Lu Le, who graduated from Nortel, collaborated with Zhang Yimou, and has photographed such excellent works as "To Live".For example, makeup artist Li Dongtian, who collaborated with Zhang Yimou as a makeup artist for "Speak Well", is a national-level stylist.

These excellent filmmakers, with Wan Xiaohu's qualifications, can't move at all, thanks to the mountain of Huayi Brothers.In the entertainment industry in the mainland, they will give Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei a little bit of face.

"It's a great pleasure to get together and cooperate with "Butterfly Effect". I haven't graduated from school yet, so I have little knowledge. I hope that the seniors in the film industry can forgive some of my shortcomings in my work, but if I do not do well Feel free to bring it up, and I will work hard to improve."

At the assembly meeting of the crew on the second day, Wan Xiaohu spoke modestly in front of more than 40 people, old and young.When filming "Waiting Alone", the crew were all students, and he could say something big to calm these students down.Now facing many outstanding filmmakers of the older generation, Wan Xiaohu does not have the confidence no matter in terms of qualifications or age.

Being polite and low-key is the policy of doing things.

Lu Le's hair was relatively thin, and he said with a smile, "Director Wan is too polite, we will only listen to Director Wan's command when we eat the food of the crew."

"Then I would like to thank Brother Lu for his support." Wan Xiaohu said, he was very satisfied with Lu Le's words, whether they were polite or sincere, at least this attitude came out.

The people of the country pay attention to this issue of attitude.

You don't have a good attitude, no matter how powerful you are, I won't use you.You have a good attitude, even if your skills are a little loose, you can still accommodate.

With the cooperation of Lu Le, a veteran, and the support of a large group of Nortel team members, Wan Xiaohu's control over the director is stable.At the meeting, Wan Xiaohu made a division of labor for the film crew, as well as rules and regulations, and promised that the film will be well shot, make money, and give out red envelopes absolutely generously.

"When I was filming "Waiting Alone", I told everyone in the crew that I, Wan Xiaohu, don't ask for money. What I ask for is fame and the joy of filming. I hereby make a promise to everyone that as long as the film has If you have to make money, you will have red envelopes, the more you earn, the more red envelopes, never break your promise!"

Others speak lightly, and can only rely on money to increase their momentum.

This red envelope opened the way, and it really had an extraordinary effect, and everyone applauded enthusiastically.

"Wan Dao is definitely a good director, great job!"

"Absolutely support Wan Dao's work, and resolutely obey the command of the crew!"

"Wan Dao said something, point and hit!"

"This director is very good."

"We will definitely cooperate with the director's work."

Wan Xiaohu laughed, this is what he wanted.

After the mobilization meeting, the production crew went into full swing, setting up the studio, arranging photographic equipment, deploying machine test films, like clockwork with full strength, rattling forward.

The staff of the crew have already entered the working state, and the actors are also ready, but they have not been allowed to come yet.The layout of several shooting locations has not been completed, and the first formal shooting will not start until after tomorrow's opening ceremony.

Holding the list of actors, Wan Xiaohu approached Li Xia: "Ma Xia, ask Wu Ershan and the others to make arrangements, and notify the actors one by one according to the time of the show, when they will arrive. I don't want anyone to be late, let alone be absent."

"Ok."

"In addition, tell Cheng Er that for the stars who are going to attend the opening ceremony tomorrow, they will call at night, nag, and pass on my ideas. Everything that should be prepared is ready, and don't make any sudden situations. Now the contracts are all Once signed, don’t treat them as stars, use them however you want.”

"OK."

After everything was arranged, Wan Xiaohu suddenly felt that he was full of ambition now, like a warrior who had sharpened his sword, put on his armor and helmet, and was ready for the upcoming battle!

"Waiting Alone" is just a small test.

"The Butterfly Effect" is the real first battle.

"I want to do my best! Tell everyone that I, Wan Xiaohu, am a capable director. I don't rely on luck to pick up leaks. I want to sprint to the road of a great director! I am Wan Xiaohu, and I speak for myself!"

On June 6rd, the opening ceremony of "Butterfly Effect" was held in the lobby on the first floor of Beijing Kailemen Hotel.As a big investment of Huayi Brothers this year, it is very important.Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, and Wang Jinghua all attended, and also invited directors such as Feng Xiaogang and Teng Huatao to help out.

In the hotel box, Wan Xiaohu was talking nonsense with Wang Zhongjun, Feng Xiaogang and others.

"Xiaohu, you are shooting sci-fi films now, and you can gain something. Domestic audiences may not be able to accept domestic sci-fi films." Feng Xiaogang is still young now, and he has not developed the later vitiligo, which leads to scary skin.To Wan Xiaohu, he said angrily.

Wan Xiaohu nodded humbly: "Mr. Feng is right, domestic science fiction is indeed not a good entry point. However, I am still young, and I just want to make a breakthrough to see if I can chew the bone of science fiction. Now there is Mr. Wang There is still a lot of confidence in helping out.”

Wang Zhongjun said with a smile: "I heard Zhong Lei say that "Butterfly Effect" is a science fiction film. I didn't want to invest in it at first, but after seeing the script, I felt the urge to shoot. Although Xiaohu is young, he has not even graduated. After "Waiting Alone" We can see that his directing skills are lacking, but the foundation is very skilled."

Teng Huatao suddenly asked Wan Xiaohu: "Why don't you make comedies anymore? I watched "Waiting Alone", both in terms of plot and style, it is very suitable for beginners to control, why suddenly changed the style. I am also preparing for the project recently. , I am going to switch from TV series to movies, and I will also open a comedy film."

"Brother Tao is also planning to make a movie?" Wan Xiaohu didn't answer, why make a science fiction movie.After all, he made "Butterfly Effect" due to many personal factors, which cannot be disclosed to outsiders.First, the movie is very suitable for his current situation. They all go back to the past and change their fate. Second, if they don't make "Butterfly Effect" now, they will be filmed by others, and the opportunity is lost.
