rising director

"Cedar, is this broken?" Wan Xiaohu asked casually after getting out of the car.

Cang Jian Jiangnan nodded: "Bao Jianfeng and the others are counting down and preparing to synchronize."

"That's good. The newly purchased servers are all the latest models from Inspur. Now you don't need to complain that the servers can't keep up."

With the spread of the bursting of the Internet bubble, personal bookstores have completely closed down, and the traffic has been divided by L's Sky and Novels. Although because of limited influence, they can't do enough for L's Sky, they are often overloaded with work and urgently need more powerful servers. support.

Today's Novel.com has gathered a group of outstanding novel authors, with hundreds of original novels, which are serialized daily. The serialization of "My Sassy Girlfriend" has been completed, and it has become a popular work comparable to Huang Liangwen's martial arts novels in ancient and modern times.At that time, there was no concept of piracy or not, martial arts novels were flying all over the place, and readers went online to find the most comprehensive scanning of martial arts novels to read.

After a while, Bao Jianfeng came out of the room.

"Mr. Wan, we have already transferred the information to Stone's server. Should the server here be returned to the merchant or brought over?"

Wan Xiaohu shook his head: "Take everything with you, I'm still useful."

At 11:30, Dandelion and , have all moved to the Sitong CBD building.The scene was messy, because the three bosses, Su Ya, Wan Xiaohu, and Li Xia, were all half-level, and they didn't plan ahead before moving.Seat arrangements for employees are all subject to on-site mediation.

After more than an hour, everything was finally ready, and everyone was allocated a suitable office position.

"Hey, Mr. Su, since we're moving into the new company, why don't we all take a group photo?" Li Yumin conjured a camera out of nowhere and suggested.

Su Ya's eyes lit up: "Okay."

In this way, the proposal was unanimously approved by everyone. At present, Dandelion Films has a total of 34 employees, Novels.com has a total of 14 employees, plus three bosses who own shares, a total of 51 people.They were all crowded at the front desk facing the elevator, squatting in the front row and standing behind. Su Ya, as the boss, won the throne alone.

"Who will take the picture?" Wang Qianqian asked suddenly.

"Ask the building security master for help."

Soon, the security master happily came over, standing in the elevator room, the focus of the camera has been adjusted, all you need to do is press the shutter lightly.

On the front desk of Dandelion, there are two signs. On the top is a line of big words "Dandelion Film Company", next to it is the logo, the head of a cartoon tiger, just the character "king" in the middle, turned into a dandelion.This logo was created by Su Ya recently. In the past, the company only had a dynamic logo, which was the animation inserted in the movie.Later, Su Ya felt that she had to redesign a logo for item distribution, so she came up with this cartoon tiger head.

Wan Xiaohu was really too lazy to complain about this. Without the word "Wang" on the tiger's head, wouldn't it be a cat?It's a pity that the arms couldn't hold back the thighs. Under Su Ya's power, the Logo still passed.

Under the big characters of the film company, there is a line of small characters "Novel Network", next to it is the logo, seal seal, and the four characters "novel" are engraved inside, with a strong artistic atmosphere.

The entire front desk is designed in line with the style of a modern large enterprise. At first glance, it seems that this is a high-end and elegant company.

"1, 2, 3, eggplant!"

Click.

The camera records a new chapter of dandelion.

No one knows whether these 51 people will start a business together in the future, but at least at this moment, everyone gathers together and works hard together.They are all a group of people who work tirelessly for life, for the future and for their ideals, and their smiles are full of youthful and passionate vitality.

There is reason to believe that the future belongs to them!

After thanking the security master, the colleagues of Dandelion Film Company took a group photo together, and the employees of Xiaoxiao.com also took a group photo together.

After half an hour of tossing like this, when the time came to 01:30, everyone finally couldn't bear the hunger, and rushed to the restaurant together, eating and drinking.In the afternoon, I continued to be busy, striving to make the company more perfect.

Wan Xiaohu was also caught in a toss, in his exclusive area, back and forth for debugging, editing room, conference room, projection room and office, everything was arranged according to his wishes.From now on, this will be the place where he creates movies. According to the requirements, all the doors are made of pure steel. Without a key, it is almost impossible to break into the door.

The most taboo thing about making movies is leaking secrets. Wan Xiaohu doesn't want to have copies stolen or scripts leaked.

After a while, Su Ya walked in with her hands behind her back, looked at the well-arranged editing room, and praised: "It's not bad, it looks like a studio."

"Nonsense, how much effort did I spend designing it." Wan Xiaohu sorted a pile of books and put them on the bookshelf one by one.Many of them are written in English. For Wan Xiaohu, the need to learn English is too great. Chinese films are lagging behind, not only because there are fewer talents making films, but also because the entire film education system is lagging behind.

Like the classic film works of the French boom period, there are very few books directly translated in the domestic market.There are very few translations of Hollywood film textbooks.If you want to obtain other people's advanced film techniques and film art, as well as the context of film development, you must first understand these works.

And Wan Xiaohu still has ambitions, wanting to make his films go global and conquer foreigners.This English is too important.Now that he has free time, he will hold the Oxford dictionary for a while, and review his senior's super English.

Su Ya casually took out an English book and looked at the title: "Not the Indifferent Nature?"

"Eisenstein's book talks about how to integrate the artistry of the film throughout the film, the organic combination of shots, the harmonious combination of sound and image, and the exploration of reasonable reference to other art forms. In fact, the most attractive thing about this book is the author's introduction. The creation process of "Battleship Potemkin" and "Ivan the Terrible", such a book that interprets the master's film creation experience, is hard to find. I have searched all the libraries in the mainland, but there is no version, only the Russian version .The last time I went to Hong Kong, I found the English version." Wan Xiaohu explained casually.

"Excellent, have you read all these books?"

"Of course, I'm a student of the director department!" Wan Xiaohu said proudly.

As a student of the directing department, he likes to study directing works.In the last track, I don’t know how many director books I have read.In particular, the National Film Publishing House, after 02, organized a lot of manpower to publish the "Foreign Film Theory Masterpiece Series", translate and edit professional film books, and made many famous directors enter the streets of the country.

It's just that these books haven't been translated yet, Wan Xiaohu can only look for the English version, and then study it.

"Then what is this book about?" Su Ya didn't believe in evil, and took out another book that was newly packaged.

"Secular Myths: The Wild Thinking of Film", written by Ifut Pirlo from Hungary, he is a Ph. He believes that movies are characterized by visual images, and this visual image not only has its own original appearance, but also has transcendence, and automatically has the ability to express certain abstract meanings. In order to Verify that the way of thinking in film is independent of natural language, Pillow..."

Wan Xiaohu couldn't stop talking about "Secular Myths: Wild Thinking in Movies". He read this book very carefully back then, especially when he had a heated debate with others at a class reunion. .

"The book's assertion, I have always believed that Pirlo made the mistake of pan-symbolism and pan-symbolism. Her assertion that visual images automatically express abstract meaning pushes the essence of film into the misunderstanding of mysticism and subjectivism, while The final explanation has turned to falsehood again..."

"Stop, stop." Su Ya interrupted, covering her ears, "Well, I didn't understand a single word of what you said. I just understood one thing. Do you think this book is a wrong theory? Wrong Do you still watch it?"

Wan Xiaohu scratched his head, and said rather dissatisfied: "Although her explanation is a bit too much to study the film, but as a classic work of Western film theory in the post-linguistic period, this book involves philosophy, aesthetics, mythology, psychology, etc. Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, Psychoanalysis, Structural Semiotics and many other theories can make people more clearly aware of the creative style of films and develop film thinking, which is very worth tasting.”

"Okay, I still won't tell you these mysterious things, your director is too self-righteous, isn't it just making a movie, and it has risen to a theoretical level!"

"Hey, playing the piano with a cow, movies are the art of directors, do you understand?"

"Cut." Su Ya expressed her disdain profoundly with one word.

"Forget it, instead of playing the piano with a cow, it's better to talk to a girl. Su Ya, I'd better sing "Only-ou" for you. You are more suitable to listen to this."

"Fuck off!"

0111【Star meeting】

Just after the housewarming celebration, another big event came to Wan Xiaohu.

After four months of preparation for "Legend of Hot Blood", all the preparatory work and publicity work have been completed. On November 11st, it will be officially launched in China.

Chen Tianqiao has already called to invite Wan Xiaohu and Su Ya to Shanda Network to witness the launch of the game together.However, Wan Xiaohu didn't have the time to go to Shanghai. On the same day, Huayi Brothers will hold the premiere of "Butterfly Effect" in Beijing.As a director, Wan Xiaohu has no reason to be absent.

"Mr. Chen, when the game is hot, I will go to drink with you again. I really don't have time now, so I can't go away."

"That's fine, you are all busy as directors, I know."

After hanging up Chen Tianqiao's phone, Wan Xiaohu walked to the office area of ​​Novels.com, and found Cangjian Jiangnan and Baojianfeng.

"When you have free time, help me build another website, a website about movie information, called Mtime.com. Using the servers replaced before, make this Mtime.com first. It doesn't need to be too professional, it's simple That’s fine. I’m here as a planning document, which cites the functions of Mtime.com, so you can follow and do it first.”

Bao Jianfeng took the proposal: "Okay, I will arrange for people to make the website."

Regarding Mtime.com, it is a website that Wan Xiaohu has long wanted to build.
