    "Where am I?" Wan Xiaohu looked in the mirror at his pink face, sparse stubble, and the hair that resembled a traitor, and was at a loss.  Very simple, he was electrocuted to death by a high-voltage wire hanging down the roadside, but instead of going to hell, he returned to his student days.  In the smelly dormitory, various quilts, socks, DVDs, and lunch boxes were piled up in a mess, and the calendars on the wall clearly displayed them.  Today is February 24, 2000.  After getting over the initial shock, Wan Xiaohu had to accept that his current situation had brought him back fourteen years ago.  This year, Teacher Chen¡¯s camera has not yet become famous, and Teacher Cang is still young Ahem!  This year is Wan Xiaohu¡¯s third year at Beijing Film Academy. In the second semester of his second semester, in 1998, he went through layers of selection and was finally admitted to the 98-level directing department of Nortel with excellent results.  With the dream of being a great director, he wasted four years at Nortel and then sadly graduated.  Since he was unemployed after graduation, because of the bad opportunities, he had many roles but could never find his place.  In fact, the entire class of 1998 Nortel students were the class with the bleakest stars, and none of them did well.  There were no big stars or directors.  Among his classmates, the most famous one is Nursery, which has never become popular.  ¡°Without good opportunities and poor classmates, Wan Xiaohu¡¯s path as a director was particularly bumpy for a child from an ordinary working-class family.  He first did set notes, props, and lighting, and then worked as an assistant director on several TV series.  Later, he planned to go it alone, but he couldn't get investment and no one was willing to give him a chance to be a director.  After several years of idleness, Wan Xiaohu no longer wanted to be a big director, but chose to direct commercials and MVs, and play micro-movies in his spare time.  Quan should be remembering his dream of being a director.  Until his rebirth, he had never made a serious TV series or movie.  Basically, these fourteen years of life have been wasted.  There are no climaxes or twists and turns. No one is interested in it, and it is not earth-shattering in its execution.  Like a pool of stagnant water, it gradually turned black and smelly, decaying in despair.     until one day.  He bought the latest edition of the entertainment newspaper and looked at the entertainment report that "Where Are We Going, Dad" has sold for 680 million yuan. He thought to himself that a crappy movie adapted from a crappy show could be so successful. The world is really unfair.  Then he began to dream, if he could live again, with memories and countless good movies Then he was touched by high-voltage electricity, and he came to the year 2000.  "I'm really reborn!" Wan Xiaohu, who was muttering to himself in the mirror, swallowed suddenly: "Oh no! I'm reborn! Then let me start a charming life!" Smiled slightly.  The dreams buried deep in my heart over the years began to take root again.  Once upon a time, Wan Xiaohu could only remember his lost wishes in the dead of night.  Or feel sorry for yourself that your life is so boring and miserable.  In the most coquettish student days, I looked down on ordinary girls. After leaving society, I always wanted to get ahead, and I neglected social interactions. By the time I realized the reality, I was already old.  Over the past ten years, I have had several romantic relationships, but none of them succeeded in the end. I have always been a loner.  It¡¯s different now, he wants to be a great director!  He wants to pick up everything he never got from the previous trajectory!  "Wan Xiaohu, what are you waiting for? Let's make a movie!" Looking at himself in the mirror, Wan Xiaohu made up his mind.  However, making a movie is not an easy task. At least he has been thinking about it for more than ten years, but he still hasn't succeeded.  Nowadays, it is true to have a good movie in mind, the key is to find investment and make the movie!  "First we have to decide on a script!" In the empty, dirty and messy dormitory, Wan Xiaohu frowned and died in pain.  With fourteen years of memories, he has too many good movies in his mind, but it is difficult to find ones suitable for filming at the moment.  First, he is not famous yet and cannot attract large investment, so many high-cost movies cannot be realized.  Second, he has never made a serious movie. He is just a talented director in theory, and he cannot make difficult movies well.  Thirdly, he cannot shoot many movies that rely on the performance of good actors to support the framework of a movie. Which star would give a student face.  Based on these three reasons, Wan Xiaohu suddenly discovered that there were not many choices for him.  "Now I have no way to do distribution, and no connections to attract investment. Even if I happen to attract a little investment and make a movie, how will I make money? It's 2000, and the Chinese mainland market has not yetWhen we start to reform the cinema chain system, we can go to each cinema and let them show my movies.  But this only treats the symptoms rather than the root cause. Piracy of DVDs has been rampant in recent years, and almost no one goes to the cinema to watch it. What kind of low-budget movie can I make to attract audiences?  " ""Crazy Stone"?  There's nothing I can't do with three to four million dollars, and I still can't handle the multi-line transport and mountain city dialect.  "Lost on Journey"?  It would cost millions to film. Without the support of Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng, the comedy effect would not be good.  Is this really a problem?  Otherwise, think differently?  " Wan Xiaohu touched his chin. To make a movie in the mainland, you don't necessarily have to make a commercial movie and sell it to be a hit. Only in this way can you make money. Of course, making a hit movie is what Wan Xiaohu will definitely do in the future. As for now?  , what is needed is to solve the problem of food and clothing. During this period of time in the Mainland, commercial movies have just sprouted. Fifth-generation director Feng Xiaogang is opening up Lunar New Year movies, such as "Party A and Party B" in 1997, "See You or Not Part" in 1998 and "Endless" last year.  "" can be said to be the first of its kind in mainland China. Even the famous director Zhang Yimou is still wandering on the road of literary films. It can be said that in this period, so many directors are making no money.  How do you make a living with literary and artistic films? It¡¯s very simple, there are people who support them! Movies made by famous directors are basically financed by state-owned film studios, and then they are planned to be released in their theaters.  Even if the film you make is not watched, there are two other ways. The first is to win awards. The Radio, Film and Television Bureau has an unwritten rule that any film that wins international awards will receive 50 yuan from the Film Bureau.  Subsidies ranging from 10,000 to 2 million. Compared with winning a prize, which is something that is rare and rare, the second option is simple, which is to sell the film to Yangliu, which is a movie channel.  , all with a unified price of one million ¡°Sold to the movie channel!  That¡¯s it!  ¡± After making the decision, Wan Xiaohu relaxed. The framework of the movie has been positioned. First, the cost must be small, guaranteed to be less than one million. Second, it must have a reputation to attract the purchase of Yangliu. Third, it must be simple. Simple movies are good.  After some searching, Wan Xiaohu determined the film he was about to prepare.
