May 20, 2000, Beijing Airport. Wan Xiaohu and Li Xia picked up the plane together. Today is the day when Su Ya and Zhao Ye return from South Korea. As soon as the time came, two beautiful girls walked out of the airport lobby. One of them was about 1.7 meters tall, and the other was about 1.6 meters tall. Although they were different in height, they were both attractive. Lian Ren looked around and saw two idle people chatting happily against the glass window. ¡°One of them was wearing casual pants and a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up, which looked a bit shabby. The other person had his head split, holding a sign diagonally in his hand that read "Su Ya, Zhao Ye", it was Wan Xiaohu and Li Xia. "Hey, hey, hey, you two are so irresponsible. I asked you to come pick me up at the airport, but you hide here and chat, your attitude is not correct at all!" Needless to say, the tall beauty is Su, the boss of Dandelion Film Company. elegant. The shorter beauty is Su Ya¡¯s roommate Zhao Ye, smiling slightly. Wan Xiaohu and Li Xia quickly pretended to be nervous, and took the salutes of the two beauties one at a time. "What, the plane arrived early? Didn't you say in an hour?" Wan Xiaohu lied with his eyes open, trying to cover up the perfunctory attitude of the two when they picked up the plane. Su Ya slapped Wan Xiaohu with disdain: "Can you be more false?" "Su Ya has a sharp eye, and she can see my true face at once. I admire you." Wan Xiaohu is getting more and more fake now. The more he lives, the younger he becomes. Not only is his body younger, but his heart is also getting younger and younger. "Oh, by the way, did you two have fun in Korea?" Zhao Ye's expression wrinkled at the moment and said : "Oh no, I'm not happy at all. Su Ya didn't understand her feelings when she went abroad for the first time. As soon as she arrived in Seoul, South Korea, she hurriedly contacted Kim Ho-sik to discuss the film adaptation rights and mainland publishing rights of the novel. etc. After we finished talking about the business, we were already on the plane back to China. It¡¯s a pity that I spent two days in South Korea in a hotel!¡± Su Ya snorted: ¡°Little Coconut, don¡¯t slander me, last night! "Didn't I take you to the night market?" "But we just went to have a meal, and we didn't even go into the big store next door." "Okay, okay, I'll make it up to you next time." , Zhao Ye even yelled angrily, saying that this was a miserable trip to South Korea. But no one paid attention to her anymore, and Su Ya started to tell Wan Xiaohu about the gains of this trip to South Korea: "I met Jin Haozhi, and I was lucky. The novel had just been published, and no one had bought the film rights from him yet. And he is just a college student who has just stepped out of the society. The novel is only somewhat famous on the Internet, and the copyright was easily purchased. He also got the publishing rights in the mainland for 35 million won. " "How much is 35 million won? ?" Li Xia turned around and asked. "Less than 200,000." "So cheap." Wan Xiaohu praised, but it was normal to turn around and think about it. After all, this "My Sassy Girl" is just a funny novel on the Internet. I am afraid that before this, Jin Haozhi I didn't know it could be adapted into a movie. Su Ya smiled: "However, Jin Haozhi has a request." "What request?" "He likes a new female star in South Korea very much, called Jun Ji-hyun, who is the one who filmed the dance commercial for Samsung. You should watch it Let's go through this advertisement. He hopes that if we make a movie, Jun Jixian can be the heroine. " "You agreed?" Su Ya blinked and said with a sly smile, "But I didn't write it. According to the terms of the contract, if you don¡¯t want to, there¡¯s nothing he can do about it, haha.¡± Wan Xiaohu raised his thumbs: ¡°Gao Ming. But, I have some impressions of this Jun Ji-hyun. She is a very good actress. How can I do that?¡± If so, it would be good to let her act. I originally planned to find one or two Korean actors to star in it, so that I can sell the film to South Korea. " "You are the director, it's up to you." When I arrived at the Peking University dormitory, I sent Zhao Ye back. Su Ya and Wan Xiaohu continued to drive towards the company. Without Zhao Ye, Wan Xiaohu revealed the cooperation agreement between "Butterfly Effect" and Huayi Brothers. Although he created the script and invested in it, so he can make all the decisions, but after all, we are partners, and it is necessary to produce and discuss it together. After finishing speaking, Su Ya frowned: "Tiger, why are the profits in the mainland so low?" "I knew you were going to ask that, but in fact I was not interested in the profits in the mainland from the beginning. "Butterfly Effect" The main focus is on overseas markets, and overseas profits are the key. " "You want to follow the path of winning awards like Gu Changwei and Wang Xiaoshuai?" Li Xia was puzzled. countryThere are generally two routes for producing films, selling box office at home and winning awards abroad. Selling box office in China is simply too difficult for many directors. Every year, China produces one to two hundred films, but only ten of them are estimated to be profitable. Especially the sixth-generation directors who have just made a name for themselves in China have never made any box-office-making movies. In the current domestic film environment, the fourth generation of directors has gradually begun to retire from filmmaking, handing over the reins of the film industry to the prosperous fifth generation of directors, which is equivalent to handing over the task of developing commercial films to the fifth generation of directors. So the fifth generation of directors began to explore the commercial path. Feng Xiaogang is currently the best commercial director, and Zhang Yimou has not yet started. At the same time, the sixth-generation directors who were born in the 1960s and 1970s, studied at Nortel in the mid-to-late 1980s, and gradually began to take up the director's microphone in the 1990s, also began to take off on the road of Chinese films. But unlike the fifth-generation directors who shouldered the task of commercial development, the sixth-generation directors fell into a weird quirk. Most of their generation have not experienced the changes of that era, and even if they have, they only have vague impressions from their childhood. However, they grew up during the period of China's reform and opening up. The collapse of old systems and concepts and the establishment of new trendy ideas and concepts left a deep mark on their growth. Especially the pain caused by the economic transition from the 1980s to the 1990s to society, such as being laid off, losing their jobs, losing their iron rice bowls, and selling their homes, which made them look at society more critically. They either pursue the essence of images extremely, or they are obsessed with realistic forms and pay attention to grassroots people. The films they make are full of "rebellion and reflection" ideas. This kind of thinking is doomed to be unable to focus on business. Without business, there will be no investment in the next movie. Therefore, many sixth-generation directors, such as Jia Zhangke, Gu Changwei, and Wang Xiaoshuai, have set their sights on international awards. If you win this award, you can basically screen it in France, Germany and other regions that like artistic films, and earn some money for the filming of your next movie. However, the current situation is that these sixth-generation directors have no domestic audience base and are not famous at all. If you name them casually, the audience will not be able to name them. They are "underground directors". It was not until the emergence of the "last six generation directors" Zhang Yang, Wu Shixian, Liu Hao, and directors such as Lu Chuan and Ning Hao that they injected commercial elements into the sixth generation of directors that this group of directors gradually emerged. The audience also gave them a new title "new generation directors". Wan Xiaohu smiled and shook his head: "Do you think I am an artistic director? I want to take a different path as a director. My goal is to make money from all over the world! Haha!" ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (Lao Bai wants to say something. Next week, there will be recommendations.
