rising director

Celebrities such as Yuan Swimsuit, Yang Ziqiong, Wu Qilong, Guan Zhilin, and Carina Lau have all started looking for agents to sign contracts in the mainland. Wang Jinghua is the intermediary in this northward gold rush.Not only celebrity entertainers, but also behind-the-scenes staff poured into the mainland in large numbers.In the near future, the entertainment industries of mainland China and Hong Kong will be integrated.

Under Wang Jinghua's recommendation, Wan Xiaohu met Guan Zhilin, who was once known as "the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong".

"Rosmund, this is Mr. Wang Zhonglei, the boss of Huayi Brothers, and this is the director of the young talent Wan Xiaohu." Wang Jinghua introduced with a smile, Rosmund is Guan Zhilin's famous name.

"Miss Guan, hello." Wan Xiaohu stretched out his hand and shook it with Guan Zhilin.

The 38-year-old Guan Zhilin is well maintained, with light makeup on, and a mature woman's aura that still exists.However, Wan Xiaohu couldn't find from her short hair the image of Lan Xiaodie with long hair fluttering and holding a pipa when she watched "New Crane and Magic Needle".

When it comes to female stars in Hong Kong, Wan Xiaohu likes two people the most, one is Brigitte Lin who plays the invincible Oriental, and the other is Guan Zhilin who plays Lan Xiaodie.They are all the kind of characters who are very handsome, have long hair fluttering, fly around chicly, dare to love and hate.

I just met, but I couldn't find that feeling, and I was somewhat disappointed.

But Wan Xiaohu concealed this disappointment very well, and smiled brightly.

Guan Zhilin greeted them to sit down: "What kind of drinks do President Wang and Director Wan drink? Can I ask my assistant to get them?"

Wan Xiaohu waved his hand: "Just drink some plain water, Ms. Guan, Sister Hua should have told you why we are here this time. I won't beat around the bush. I very much hope that Ms. Guan can act in "Butterfly Effect". If there is something dissatisfied with Miss, just say it straight, and I'll see if I can convince Miss Guan."

"Wan Dao please speak quickly." Guan Zhilin smiled, "I should have already explained the reason before."

Science fiction films, not the leading role, but these two.

Wan Xiaohu took out the movie script that had been prepared, and did not pass it to Guan Zhilin, but held it in his hand: "I understand your concerns. Science fiction films have always been difficult to succeed in the mainland, even in Asia. There is no basis for watching movies. But I think "The Butterfly Effect" is different from ordinary science fiction films."

"What's the difference?"

"It's the subject matter, which is different from the general hardcore science fiction, which includes robots, aliens, and spaceships. There are no such things in it. There are only a long-standing theory in the scientific community, topological chain reactions, and a kind of chaos. Phenomenon, also known as the butterfly effect. A butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America, occasionally flapping its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas two weeks later. Based on this concept, the real story triggered , not surreal.”

"Is this theory itself science fiction?"

"No, "Butterfly Effect" is a 'soft sci-fi' movie classified under science fiction. It is more about exploring the behavioral influence between people and society, and it is a kind of science fiction that describes the heart. In addition, "Butterfly Effect" is more It’s like a romance movie, where the protagonist rewrites history back and forth to deduce the occurrence and ending of love. Isn’t this another kind of romantic story? You may not know the efforts I have made for you, but I have been looking for two Personal happiness, you think it's very romantic, doesn't it?"

Wang Zhonglei was very cooperative and said: "Yes, when I saw the script for the first time, I had a strong urge to shoot him. Science fiction is not the reason why movies are not popular. It depends on whether the movie is exciting or not. , Many of the domestic sci-fi films don’t even have scientific theories. They just talk nonsense and don’t do special effects. Through the plot, I understand that changing some things in the past will affect the present. This is a good basis for watching movies."

"Brother Lei is right. I am confident that this movie can be made into a classic sci-fi movie. If you exaggerate it a bit, it is not impossible to leave a name in film history. As for the starring role, I personally like watching Ms. Guan very much." Movies, especially Lan Xiaodie back then, left a deep impression on me."

Wan Xiaohu went on to say: "However, because of the setting of the script, both the male and female protagonists should look a bit young. Especially the female protagonist, who has a rough fate and also plays the role of a prostitute, I think this does not fit the image of Ms. Guan. And the male protagonist The role of the protagonist's mother plays a very important role in the plot, and plays a role in promoting it, so she is one of the leading actors."

Whether Su's mother is the protagonist or not is naturally up to Wan Xiaohu.

As a director, Wan Xiaohu has already given enough noodles.

The rest depends on Guan Zhilin's decision, if she agrees, Wan Xiaohu will be very happy, if she does not agree, Wan Xiaohu will not force it.

In the end, Guan Zhilin did not give an answer immediately, but said that he would consider it for a few days.

"Miss Guan, we will start the machine on the second of the month. I hope to welcome Miss Guan before the end of the month." Wan Xiaohu stood up and said goodbye.

After contacting Guan Zhilin, Wan Xiaohu and Wang Zhonglei went to meet another big star non-stop.Chen Daoming, the biggest male star under Wang Jinghua.Persuading Chen Daoming to play Su's father as a cameo, there is only a short scene. With Huayi Brothers and Wang Jinghua in front of him, Chen Daoming should not refuse.

Sure enough, Chen Daoming agreed straightforwardly, but his schedule was very full, and he had to wait for his coordination to decide when to go to the crew to film.

Naturally, Wan Xiaohu would not refuse to agree to this small request.

After Chen Daoming was settled, it was the turn of another popular idol, Lu Yi. Lu Yi and Chen Kun had collaborated on "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind". Wan Xiaohu asked Chen Kun to contact him, and soon got in touch with Lu Yi. Yat.

Lu Yi was more interested in the sci-fi theme of "The Butterfly Effect", and finally agreed to play the guest role of Su's roommate B, the roommate who changed the reality caused by the past for the third time and rescued the hero from suicide.

For several days in succession, under the leadership of Wu Ershan and Ning Hao, the crew gradually got in touch with each other, while Wan Xiaohu only focused on finding celebrities to play guest roles.Today's Wan Xiaohu is no longer just a student director, but has made a hot movie, and the current box office is going straight to 2000 million.

Although a movie can't prove anything, ten out of [-] people in the country don't know Wan Xiaohu, but in the entertainment industry, there are not many people who don't know Wan Xiaohu.

This is a cutting-edge director, worth investing in.

Naturally, for Wan Xiaohu's invitation, the stars had to give some noodles, especially the stars mixed by Nortel.

Zhao Wei and Xu Jinglei, one of the four female roles, have already replied to Wan Xiaohu that they will be guest stars in "Butterfly Effect".Jiang Wu, who won the Best Actor in this year's College Film Festival for his outstanding performance in "Bathing", also agreed to make a guest appearance.Hong Kong actress Yuen Swimsuit and Wang Jinghua's general Hu Jun also agreed one by one.

Chen Daoming, Lu Yi, Zhao Wei, Xu Jinglei, Jiang Wu, Yuan Swimsuit, Hu Jun, plus Guan Zhilin who is likely to star, as well as starring Zhou Xun and Chen Kun, the stars of "Butterfly Effect" are absolutely brilliant!

Wan Xiaohu can't wait to do a big job!

0065【Speak for yourself】

June 2000, 6, Thursday, Children's Day.

It has only been three weeks since "Waiting Alone" was released in major cities across the country. According to incomplete statistics, the box office has accumulated to 1700 million yuan.Because in this period, theaters in the mainland have just begun to sell tickets through computer networks, and many theaters still sell tickets manually. There will inevitably be errors in statistics, but within this range, there will not be much difference.

Seeing that there is still a period of time for the release, it is not impossible for the box office to hit 2000 million. Yu Dong was overjoyed, and the DVDs and VCDs that had already been produced were kept in the warehouse and postponed to the market.Everything has to give way to the box office. After all, if the box office is good, the attention of the movie will increase, and the sales of DVDs will also increase.

At the same time, Li Xia finally signed an agreement with the movie channel after eating and drinking for a long time and spending nearly [-] to [-] in public relations fees.

The film channel signed the TV premiere rights of "Waiting Alone" at a price of 100 million yuan, as well as the rights to use the subsequent programs.It is agreed that after September, after the theater and DVD sales of "Waiting Alone" are completed, the movie channel can broadcast "Waiting Alone" on its TV stations.

After selling the premiere TV rights to CCTV, local TV stations also came to their door one after another, wanting to buy the broadcasting rights of "Waiting Alone".However, at this time it was Dandelion Films' turn to be up for grabs. With the film's success at the box office and the excellent reputation it has gained, it is not difficult to find a buyer.

Of course, the broadcasting rights for the second round can't be sold at a high price, so it's better than nothing.
