"Director Wan, it's nice to meet you." "Mr. Li, it's nice to see you too." Yu Dong went back to convince his partners that Wan Xiaohu's happy life had not been suspended. As the University Student Film Festival progresses, "Waiting Alone" has received more and more attention, and more and more film companies have come to discuss purchasing the copyright. There are even many companies that Wan Xiaohu went to invest in. For example, Mr. Li, who is inviting him to have tea now, is the general manager of Dream Star Road Film and Television Company. When Wan Xiaohu went to this company to attract investment, Mr. Li made it very clear that he was not optimistic about the script and Wan Xiaohu, but he did not expect that the situation would change now. After a haggling session, Wan Xiaohu said: "Mr. Li, I'm not holding a grudge or trying to embarrass you. The guaranteed minimum of 3 million plus dividends is my bottom line. If it's below this bottom line, there's no room for negotiation." Mr. Li was gloomy. With a face: "Director Wan Xiaohu, I am very sincere in purchasing the copyright. The price of 1.5 million is already a sky-high price. For a newcomer, this price is three times your investment. You should be satisfied." "Why? If you have to say that I am a newcomer, does the quality of the movie have anything to do with whether I am a newcomer? I still say that I will not discuss it if it is below the bottom line of 3 million. " "Wan Xiaohu, you really don't want to consider it? "I won't think about it anymore." "Young man, don't be too ignorant. It's easy to break your leg if you fall!" Wan Xiaohu chuckled: "It has nothing to do with Mr. Li." Mr. Li put the tea cup on the table hard, and the tea splashed all over the floor, "Wan Xiaohu, I have eaten more salt than you have ever eaten. How many talented young people fell to death on the road in the end? 1.5 million is not enough, so I will wait and see how you can maintain your confidence and don¡¯t come to my door again. At that time, 1.5 million will be all the copyrights.¡± ¡°Eat more salt than food, you taste it. That's a serious statement. Then just leave slowly." "Humph!" Mr. Li walked away. Wan Xiaohu hurriedly shouted: "Don't forget to pay." After drinking tea slowly, Wan Xiaohu got up and left the teahouse. He couldn't figure out why these people were so arrogant. He had obviously watched "Waiting Alone" and felt that the movie Excellent, but still insisting that he will fail, as if it is a charity, and he wants to win the movie for 1.5 million. Is it so easy to find good movies? So you don't cherish "Waiting Alone" at all? Wan Xiaohu sneered at this. Although it is the beginning of the golden age of the film industry, 99% of those who seek gold will die in the big waves. Only a few people can climb to the top. For example, Yu Dong discovered the charm of "Waiting Alone" with a keen eye and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy it. There are more people like Mr. Li who think the movie is good but are not willing to spend more money. In the next few days, Wan Xiaohu met with many film and television company bosses. None of them offered a higher price than Yu Dong. Only two companies gave the same price as Yu Dong. If Yu Dong fails to convince his partners in the end, Wan Xiaohu will sell to them instead. While waiting, Wan Xiaohu still has some things to do. That is to participate in the academic discussion of the film festival. On April 19, the first academic discussion was held in the auditorium of Beijing Normal University. The topic of this academic discussion is "Youth Film Landscape". Participants include Zhang Yang, the director of "Bathing", Huang Jianxin, the director of "Tell Your Secret", Lu Xuechang, the director of "A Very Summer", and a large number of college students. and film critics, as well as many well-known filmmakers and actors. As the director of "Waiting Alone", Wan Xiaohu was also invited by the organizer of the College Student Film Festival. Outside the auditorium, Wan Xiaohu was waiting cautiously to enter. He was surrounded by well-known figures, especially Director Huang Jianxin, who was a famous fifth-generation director. He directed the pioneering trilogy "Black Cannon Incident", "Dislocation" and "Reincarnation", as well as the city trilogy "Stand Up Straight, Don't Lie Down", "Back to Back Face to Face", and "Red Light Stops, Green Light Goes", all of which were directed by him. It is a work with wide influence. Of course, Wan Xiaohu knows that the future Huang Jianxin will be called a great one. He directed "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", "The Founding of the Party", and plans to direct "The Founding of the Army", which is simply synonymous with great state-owned directors. "Hello, Mr. Huang, I am Wan Xiaohu, the director of "Waiting Alone". I am so happy to meet you." Wan Xiaohu greeted Huang Jianxin respectfully. Huang Jianxin has a kind face and is very kind in private: "Oh, you are Wan Xiaohu. The filming of "Waiting Alone" is very good." "Thank you, Teacher Huang, for the compliment. What I did is not good enough." "Young people, please don't belittle yourself. , can at your age,It is a great achievement to have a movie released, not to mention that the movie is very good, which is very rare. Today, in this youth film scene, you have to give a speech and introduce your feelings about making movies to everyone. We are very curious about you. "Huang Jianxin said with a smile. "The young man is indeed good. "Huang Jianxin was the focus of attention. He was surrounded by well-known figures, smiling and echoing. Not long after, the academic seminar began. From the beginning, the seminar became a question and answer session for college students. "Say your questions "Secret", "A Very Summer" and other films were asked many times by college students. Huang Jianxin and Mr. Lu respectively explained their original intentions and difficulties in making movies. Wan Xiaohu was a newcomer and sat at the side, so he thought it would be a discussion. It didn't matter to him, but after a while, the college students pointed the finger at him. "I want to ask Director Wan Xiaohu. "A college student stood up and said, "I have watched "Waiting Alone" twice. I like this movie very much. I feel that it is very suitable for the tastes of young people like us. My roommates and I also go to SOYUO online. I voted for "Waiting Alone". " "Thanks for the support. "Wan Xiaohu said. "I want to ask Director Wan, are you still a student? " "Nortel, a 1998 directing student. ¡± ¡°How did you come up with the idea of ??making a movie? Because I know that you are one year below me. It is so shocking. You are also very young. " Wan Xiaohu said with a smile: "I am a post-80s generation, a standard post-80s generation, because I was born in 1980. In fact, there is no very strange reason for filming "Waiting Alone". Ever since I was admitted to the Nortel Directing Department, I have thought about making movies. This is my dream. I¡¯ve conceived a lot of scripts, but when I was in school, I didn¡¯t think about shooting them now. One day, I woke up from sleep and looked at the messy dormitory. Suddenly I thought of a poem, "Tomorrow after tomorrow, how many tomorrows are there?" If I wait for tomorrow, everything will be wasted. Do I really want to live my four years of college like this? " "You were enlightened, so you filmed "Waiting Alone", right? " "Yes, from that time on, I told myself, Wan Xiaohu, don't sleep, just make a movie. Don't worry that you are not old enough or capable enough. As long as you are determined, you can do it. So I prepared "Waiting Alone" and worked with my two good buddies. I went to attract investment, Chen Chong went to contact the crew, and Li Xia went to select the actors. There were many setbacks and difficulties during this period, but they did not stop our enthusiasm. The teachers at Nortel also supported me very much. The student actors and staff did not need to be paid. We put our efforts together and received an investment of 500,000 from Dandelion Film Company. Work started like this, and within a month, the movie came out, and now, you can see it. " Wow, the college students clapped vigorously. " Nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing to do so. Huang Jianxin said with emotion to Senior Lu next to him.
