rising director

If Zheng Dongtian is standing at the height of Chinese movies, Xie Jin is talking about his own movies from the perspective of exhibitors.Xie Jin, as the director of Beidian's director department, Wan Xiaohu is not easy to comment on, but he always feels that he is one level lower than Zheng Dongtian.However, after Xie Jin finished his last words, Wan Xiaohu immediately put this thought out of his mind.

"...There are not many people who are still making films at my age, so please support me. At the same time, there are also many young people's films at this new film festival, such as Lu Xuechang's "Very Summer", Wang Xiaoshuai "Fantasy Garden". Of course, the youngest director, Wan Xiaohu and his "Butterfly Effect" are also indispensable. Please support us a lot!"

Crash, Wan Xiaohu clapped his hands vigorously again.

Director Xie deserves to be a great realist director of a generation. What he says is very realistic, and he supports the younger generation, which is worthy of admiration.

After Xie Jin finished speaking, the Domestic New Film Festival officially began to screen films.

The opening film is naturally "Women's Football" brought by Xie Jin. After watching it with a smile, everyone applauded non-stop.Although the movie is so-so, similar to those made in the 80s, there is nothing interesting about it.At the end of the show, all directors will return to their new film meeting to meet the audience.

Wan Xiaohu came to invite Zheng Dongtian, Xie Jin and other old directors to attend his "Butterfly Effect" meeting in the afternoon.

"In the afternoon, at Xiguang University, right? I will definitely go there when I have time." Zheng Dongtian said kindly.

Whether to go or not is another matter, and whether to invite or not is another matter.

After the directors invited them one by one, Wan Xiaohu returned to the hotel and waited for the meeting in the afternoon.

At noon, after eating at the restaurant, Wan Xiaohu, Wang Zhonglei, Zhou Xun and Chen Kun, led by the staff, came to the auditorium of Xiguang University.Here, everything has been arranged, and a huge poster hangs down from the main teaching building of Xiguang University.

The poster is several meters long and wide, and can be seen from any distance.

In the center of the poster is the image of Chen Kun, with a huge skull on the left and right shoulders, and the two skulls form a pair of butterfly wings.And because of the effect of light and shadow, it looked as if Chen Kun was nailed to a cross by a light and shadow.

At the top of the poster, there are two lines of words "Co-produced by Huayi Brothers and Dandelion Film Company" and "The first sci-fi masterpiece of a domestic film".On the left side of the skull, there is a line of words "Yu Na: Zhou Xun", and a line of words "Su: Chen Kun" on the right.

In the lower part of the poster, there are huge English subtitles, "Butterfly Effect", "he-buerfly-effec", below the subtitles are several names, Chen Daoming, Zhao Wei, Lu Yi, Hu Jun, Xu Jinglei, Guan Zhilin, under the name, there is another line of small characters, which can't be seen clearly unless you look closely, "Director: Wan Xiaohu".

This poster is extremely cool and eye-catching.

Originally, only two small posters were arranged in the host room of the film festival, which were placed on both sides of the entrance of the auditorium.Wang Zhonglei felt that the poster was too small and unattractive, so he designed this huge poster.When designing, Wan Xiaohu hoped that his name would be larger, but he didn't have the nerve to mention it. No matter how big his name was written, few people would recognize him.

Because the school broadcast the notice in advance, the auditorium was already full of college students, chatting and beating each other.

Wan Xiaohu asked Zhou Xun and Chen Kun to follow the staff first and go to the auditorium to communicate with the students, while he and Wang Zhonglei waited outside to see if any director came to join him.

At about 01:30, Zheng Dongtian and Xie Jin came by car, accompanied by several film distributors.

Wang Zhonglei took a step forward: "Director Zheng, Director Xie, you two are here, you are so radiant, please sit inside quickly."

Wan Xiaohu also stepped forward to say hello: "Director Zheng, Director."

Xie Jin said as he walked, "We old fellows have said that we each find a place to cheer. Old Zheng and I have identified Xiaohu, and we also want to watch domestic sci-fi films. Where is the sci-fi?"

After sending Zheng Dongtian and Xie Jin inside, within a few minutes, Zhang Yang and Zhang Yuan came over again.

"Wan Xiaohu, you came here uninvited, did you not disturb me?"

Wan Xiaohu laughed loudly: "Well, please hurry up. If you support me, I'm too happy."

Following Zhang Yang and Zhang Yuan, an unexpected celebrity also came over.

"Xu Qing?" Wan Xiaohu was surprised.

Xu Qing is now a first-line actress in the Mainland, graduated from Nortel's 88-level acting department, and is the target of the media's pursuit of this film festival.

Xu Qing smiled sweetly: "Why, you don't welcome me?"

"How is it possible?" Although Wan Xiaohu was surprised, he immediately reached out and shook Xu Qing's hand.

Wang Zhonglei also stepped forward to shake hands with Xu Qing: "Miss Xu Qing, come here, this meeting will be full of glory."

There were quite a few reporters waiting at the door, snapping pictures quickly.

With a smile on his face.

This time at the "Butterfly Effect" meeting, not only did I see two old directors, but also two new directors, and now the big star Xu Qing came.Don't have too many news materials.Originally, this film festival hadn't even reached the awards ceremony, and none of the real big-name stars were present.

As for the new film meeting, in just three days, ten films were held together, plus the foreign film festival this afternoon, and the Hong Kong and Taiwan film festival tomorrow morning, equal to twenty or thirty films, all of which were exhibited together.The stars of each crew must take care of their own meetings, and there will not be too many exchanges.

There are four directors and one star to join in, which shows that Huayi Brothers and Wan Xiaohu are big enough.

It was two o'clock, and the doors of the auditorium were closed.

As the director, Wan Xiaohu took the microphone handed over by the staff, walked to the big screen, and cleared his throat: "Ahem, I am very glad to be able to hold the "Butterfly Effect" meeting at Xiguang University. Thanks to the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival for hosting Fang and Xiguang University provided the venue, and I would like to thank directors Zheng and Xie for coming, directors Zhang Yang and Zhang Yuan for their support, and Ms. Xu Qing for her support. Thanks to the students for coming to participate.”

The staff had already adjusted the projector, and Wan Xiaohu made a long story short: ""Butterfly Effect" is a sci-fi movie. To me, sci-fi is more like an extension of the movie, adding flying wings to the movie. Don't let The rules and regulations of reality constrain our hearts, this is the charm of science fiction movies. I hope that the next 10 minutes of watching the movie will bring you a little different feeling, thank you."

Crash, applause Wan Xiaohu stepped off the stage and sat down with several directors.

On the big screen, the film officially began to be screened.

Everyone watched quietly.

10 minutes went by in a flash.

When the tail sound rises.

"The parallel multiverse of Quantum Mechanics explains that in the garden of crossing paths, there is always a path that leads to happiness at every point of life, and on that path of complete happiness, there is one and only you walking..."

The screen goes off.

Countless students clapped vigorously for a full minute, like a tide.

Wan Xiaohu stood up, faced hundreds of students in the auditorium, bowed repeatedly to express his gratitude, not only failed to stop the students from clapping, but broke out even bigger applause.

And the applause, and a few classmates, even cried while watching the movie.

After repeated reassurance, the students finally calmed down.

"After reading everyone's reactions, I am very happy, which means that the filming was a success. Although your reactions are similar to those when I screened in Hong Kong, I am most excited at this time. If there is still humanity in Hong Kong In it, the politeness is greater than the truth, this time, it is the real applause. Thank you. If you have any questions or exchanges, you can just say it, I know everything, and I have nothing to say."

Wan Xiaohu had just finished speaking when some students raised their hands.

"Please say."

The classmates stood up, and Wan Xiaohu waved his hands: "Let's talk to each other, don't stand up, just sit down and talk."

Then the classmate said excitedly: "Director Wan, can you play it again? I think the movie is too exciting, but I still can't fully understand it."

"Okay, let's lower the volume, students who don't understand will continue to watch, and we will continue to communicate."

A student wearing glasses raised his hand and said, "Director, I saw a poster saying it was a sci-fi movie, so I came here. Actually, I didn't have high expectations. I always thought that domestic films couldn't make sci-fi movies. I was so thrilled to see The Butterfly Effect, for me it was not just a good, masterful piece of sci-fi, it was a way of storytelling a movie that I hadn't been exposed to before. Around that last painting, Four small screens appeared, the director wanted to say, are there all possible outcomes in them?"

Wan Xiaohu leaned on his chair and said: "The last part of the ending, introducing the theory of parallel worlds, is to explain this result. I originally thought about making the theme more positive, but after shooting, I felt that sacrifice is also a kind of greatness. These two thoughts are fighting in my head, and I can't let go, so I put all the content together. It's up to you to choose which result to accept."
