rising director

As soon as he entered the door, the cashier stopped laughing and called out to the girl, "Boss."

"Where is the director who wants to make a movie?" The girl came over.

Wan Xiaohu was secretly surprised, this boss is too young and too pretty.It seems that he is a rich second generation, otherwise he would not be able to open such a large shop, nor could he drive a Volkswagen sedan outside.

"Hello, I'm the director who is here to seek sponsorship. My name is Wan Xiaohu, a student of Nortel's '98 directing department." With just a moment of distraction, Wan Xiaohu immediately put on a smile and handed over his student ID card and ID card.Since it is soliciting sponsorship, you must let the other party know your real information.

"Oh, hello, my name is Su Ya, and I'm a top student from Nortel. I have an office in the back, let's go in and have a chat."

"Ok."

It is said to be an office, but it is actually a utility room, full of various packing boxes and unopened souvenirs.

"Boss Su, please allow me to introduce my movie first... This "Waiting Alone" is a low-budget movie. The story is very simple. The hero Chen who likes to write horror novels falls in love with a woman who plays tricks. Actor Liu Rong. Launched various pursuits, but finally found out that Liu Rong got rich... After Chen and Liu Rong broke up, I found out that there was a girl friend who had been secretly in love with him, but in the end she left the capital Going south...Later, Liu Rong separated from the big money, and wanted to come back and reconcile with Chen, but Chen refused...He decided to write a novel that really belonged to him, and the name was "Waiting Alone."

The story "Waiting Alone" is Wan Xiaohu's re-adaptation of the story, adding a lot of his own life insights.As he narrated, Su Ya listened very carefully, and with the ups and downs of the story, the expression on her face also changed back and forth.

With such a beautiful woman as the listener, Wan Xiaohu can be said to have given full play to his eloquence and told the story brilliantly.

After the story was finished, Wan Xiaohu coughed: "That's the specific content of the story, what does Boss Su think?"

"It's very exciting, very good." Su Ya clapped her hands, "Director Wan Xiaohu, can you tell me about your filming plan? You are still a college student, have you contacted the film company? Is the investment in place? If I sponsor it , How much money do you need to invest?"

"It's like this. We plan to make an adult movie. We don't need a film and television company to invest in the shooting. If the preparations and shooting go well, about 100 million yuan can meet the demand." Seeing that Su Ya's boss seems to be a rich second generation, Being so interested in movies again, Wan Xiaohu instinctively exaggerated the investment cost of the movie.

It cannot be said to be an exaggeration, the more money you have, the more you can pursue the quality of the movie.

"So, how much do I need to sponsor?"

Wan Xiaohu pondered for a while: "Boss Su, I can give more close-up shots of the Dandelion souvenir shop, even Boss Su himself plans to play a cameo role in the movie. I hope Boss Su can give us a little more sponsorship , and even invest in our films.”

"invest?"

"If Boss Su doesn't want to, sponsorship is fine. 60 yuan, can you see it? A close-up shot of the store name for more than 1 minute, and you can also shoot a few scenes here!"

Su Ya smiled: "60 is not a small amount. Instead of sponsoring so much, I might as well invest directly. In this way, you can tell me in detail how "Waiting Alone" was filmed. Be honest. If If I think it’s possible, it’s not impossible for me to be an investor.”

"Hehe." Wan Xiaohu smiled awkwardly. This rich second generation has a good eye, and he realized that he was exaggerating just now. "Well, I will explain it to Boss Su in detail. I have two shooting plans. If it’s a formal shooting, if you hire formal actors and staff, the amount of investment will be much higher. The other is simple shooting. I can ask my classmates to complete the film together, and we can use DV photography. The cost can be controlled at about 50. .”

"Can I make movies with DV?"

"Of course the picture will not be as good as film photography, but I don't plan to release it in theaters. It can be regarded as a TV movie."

"How do movies make money?"

"Produce VCD and DVD sales, and can also sell to movie channels."

"Hmm... how much sponsorship have you already gotten?"

"This..." Wan Xiaohu was a little hesitant. It's a business secret, but as the saying goes, if you want to attract Su Ya's investment, you must be honest. Look, can we discuss the investment?"

"Well, let me think about it. Do you have a mobile phone? Leave me a contact information. I'll call you after I think about it."

"I don't have a mobile phone, I'll leave the phone number of our dormitory."

"it is good."

"Boss Su, please think about it as soon as possible. I want to shoot early. After the shooting is completed, I will be able to participate in this year's Beijing College Student Film Festival. This will greatly help the sales of the film."

"No more than two days at the latest."

……

Back in the dormitory, Wan Xiaohu felt relaxed, although Su Ya didn't really agree to invest in the movie.But Su Ya showed a strong interest, and Wan Xiaohu observed that Su Ya didn't seem to have any concept of money, and hundreds of thousands were small sums in her eyes.

As a rich second generation, if you spend money to play movies, Su Ya will definitely agree.

"The investment matter is basically settled. Next, it's time to submit the script to Radio and Television, then prepare the crew, rent props..." Wan Xiaohu clenched his fists, feeling that things were finally on the right track.

Looking at the time, it was past twelve o'clock, Chen Chong and Li Xia didn't know where to go, so Wan Xiaohu walked to the cafeteria, he hadn't eaten lunch yet.After lunch, as soon as he left the cafeteria, Wan Xiaohu met his counselor, a lecturer in the directing department.

"Wan Xiaohu, what's the matter with you recently, you don't go to class?"

Wan Xiaohu quickly replied with a smile: "I'm sorry, counselor, I've been too busy recently."

"I'm too busy to ask for leave."

"It's like this, counselor, I really can't spare time recently. I've thought about it before, and I'm going to ask for a month's vacation."

"One month vacation? What's going on?"

"I'm going to make a movie."

"filming?"

"Yes, the script and investment have almost been confirmed, and the filming will start within a week at the latest."

The counselor was very surprised: "Okay, Wan Xiaohu, if you keep quiet, you will become a director? Which film company invested in the shooting, and what movie?"

""Waiting Alone", I wrote the script myself, and then I raised the investment myself, and I am going to make a ** movie. It is my early graduation work."

Wan Xiaohu has already made up his mind, he studied in the directing department for four years in the last track, and now there is no point in staying and studying.After filming "Waiting Alone" and becoming famous, I left school and became a real director.

0008【Welcome】

Wan Xiaohu didn't see Chen Chong and Li Xia until after one o'clock in the afternoon. It turned out that the two had gone to the Beijing DV photography lovers meeting.

"Tiger, I met a lot of DV masters today. The videos they shoot are very cool and thoughtful. I feel that they are no worse than our professional students in terms of camera movement and elevation angle. The masters are among the people!" Chen Chong said with emotion.

"Photography is not something that can be learned by listening to the teacher in school. You have to go out, participate in the practice, and capture all things in nature in person, so that you can present the beauty in front of your lens." Wan Xiaohu is The person who came over casually pointed out.

"It makes sense, Tiger, I find that you are getting better and better now."

"Hehe, so-so, the third in the country."

Li Xia interjected: "Tiger, how is your investment going?"

"There are clues. If there are no accidents, you don't need to worry about investing. By the way, how are you preparing for what I asked you to do?"

Chen Chong said: "I have already contacted the photography group secretly. They are all buddies from my photography department. They are very proficient in DV photography. In addition, I have almost contacted the art group and lighting group. Many students don't need money, they all want to participate. .”

Li Xia also said: "I have searched for more than three candidates for the main roles in the script. As for some supporting roles and extras, we can definitely let our crew members take part-time jobs. This is the list of candidates I drew up. You see Let's go." Li Xia handed over a piece of paper with people's names written all over it.
