Cheng Er graduated last year. His graduation film was the short film "Criminals", which shocked everyone at the first China Independent Video Exhibition. However, like most directing students, a graduation film does not mean anything. After graduation, Cheng Er began to work as a member of the crew and has not been able to participate in the filming of movies. After watching "Criminals" at Nortel, Wan Xiaohu couldn't help but nodded. This is a talent, especially in the short film, which revealed Cheng Er's rich dark style and precise portrayal of the heart. In terms of style, it is still very suitable for "Butterfly Effect". Wu Ershan was originally a student of the Oil Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. Because he insisted on his own art and did not agree with his teacher's ideas, he dropped out of school in his sophomore year, and then was admitted to Nortel. After graduation, I started working as an advertising director, and I did quite well. I also had the ideal of being an artist myself, and I completed installations, short films, performance art and other pure art works with a group of friends. Wan Xiaohu knows this guy's future talent. He made "Painted Skin 2" with a box office of 700 million. Art and business are very compatible. However, at present, Wu Ershan seems to still regard the artist as his ideal, and the director is just a survival tool. Ning Hao once worked as a bicycle assembler, musician, stage art designer, advertising designer, and graphic photographer, and later worked for a drama troupe in his hometown. Unfortunately, the theater troupe has no business and cannot pay wages, so Ning Hao can only make ends meet by doing part-time jobs. Later, I found an excuse to go to the capital to take the exam. The purpose is to hang out in the capital. He was admitted to the directing college class of Beijing Normal University. After graduation, he filmed the short film "Thursday, Wednesday". Then he went to Nortel last year and was admitted to the photography department of Nortel. He is currently studying at the school. Nortel's admission method is different from that of other universities. No matter how old you are or where you went to school before, you can enroll if you pass the minimum standards of cultural courses and then pass the school's separate examination. Especially in the directing department, most of them have experienced in society for a period of time before passing the exam. There are very few people like Wan Xiaohu who are admitted directly from high school. It has to be said that Wan Xiaohu is talented in directing, otherwise he would not stand out in the exam. It¡¯s just that the future growth will not be good. Ning Hao is just the opposite of Wan Xiaohu. He is so-so now and will rise strongly in the future. Taking time out, with the help of the teacher, Wan Xiaohu met the three people one by one to see if they were really talented. After meeting each other, Wan Xiaohu felt that these three were quite capable. If they were given a good script, they would all have a chance to make a good movie. Naturally, it was a matter of course to recruit them into the crew. Cheng Er was not a good mixer. He agreed to join the crew almost without saying a word. Of course, his starting point was relatively low. Wan Xiaohu arranged for him to be the assistant director. Ning Hao and Wu Ershan happily joined the crew after hearing Wan Xiaohu's idea. Ning Hao was junior and served as deputy director, while Wu Ershan, who was relatively well-known, served as executive director. ?As long as the assistant director is capable, fame doesn¡¯t matter. On May 26, in a hotel room outside Nortel, five people, Wan Xiaohu, Li Xia, Wu Ershan, Ning Hao, and Cheng Er, were sitting around a bed. "Okay, our director team has gathered together." Wan Xiaohu clapped his hands, "We are all Nortel alumni, so I won't say too many polite words. Let's help each other in the same crew from now on." Li Xia answered: "I don't get involved in the work of the directing team. I am mainly responsible for external production and casting. If you have any requests, just tell me. I am good at running errands." After that, Li Xia He took out several scripts from his bag and handed them over one by one. Wan Xiaohu signaled everyone to open the script: "The storyboard script has not been completely completed yet. You should take the script and sort out "The Butterfly Effect" first. Now only the director team has gathered the number of people in the crew, including the photography team, props team, lighting team, and logistics team. The team has not yet completely stabilized, but we will start working on it from today. Li Xia has already contacted Huayi Brothers about the audition list, and we will start auditioning together tomorrow." Everyone nodded. Wan Xiaohu added: "I am an impatient person. Li Xia has worked with me, so I should know it. Once the filming starts, we will never allow any unexpected delays or delays. So, you guys have to clean up and strive for the best in the past few days." They all live in the crew, and from now on they will have food and accommodation on the crew. Life will be very hard, tiring and boring, no problem, right?" "Don't worry, this pain is nothing to worry about," Cheng Er said affirmatively. The meeting was very brief. They just met to arrange the division of labor. Then Wan Xiaohu asked the three of them to go home, pack their things and go to the set, and then familiarized themselves with the script. As for himself, he went to Wang Zhonglei to discuss where to shoot. Although the scene in "The Butterfly Effect" is relatively small, there are still many places that need to be connected. ???Mental hospitals, universities, photographic equipment factories, and community explosion scenes, etc. "This is the photographic equipment factory under the Beijing Film Studio. The Beijing Film Studio was merged into the China Film Group. This equipment factory will also be reorganized into the Film Equipment Company. It is said that this land is going to be demolished, so I contacted the person in charge. Rent the place to us temporarily." Wang Zhonglei pointed to the dilapidated factory area in front of him in the car. In 1999, in order to make China's radio, film and television industry bigger and stronger and form the "aircraft carrier" and "joint fleet" of China's radio, film and television, the Joint Development and Reform Commission of Radio, Film and Television approved the China Film Company, Beijing Film Studio, and China Children's Film Production Factory, China Film Co-Production Company, China Film Equipment Company, Movie Channel Program Center, Beijing Film Development and Video Technology Factory, and Huayun Film and Television Disc Co., Ltd. jointly formed China Film Group. At the beginning of this year, the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television and the Ministry of Culture jointly issued the "Several Opinions on Further Deepening the Reform of the Film Industry". At the same time, the Radio and Television issued the "Principled Opinions on the Trial Development of Radio, Film and Television Groupization", two red-headed documents, Establishing this group of studios as a major film group nationwide. Large groups such as China Film and Television and China Film Group came into being. The momentum of this restructuring is a reflection of China¡¯s economic reform and the beginning of the film industry turning into a feast for everyone. Of course, the many remaining problems cannot be ignored, such as the small factory in front of us. The factory has stopped working, but the living area continues, with children and adults coming in and out, worrying about their future lives. After parking the car, Wan Xiaohu and Wang Zhonglei got out of the car and started driving around. After going around, Wan Xiaohu was deeply satisfied. The functions of this place are quite sound. Although it is a little behind compared with the Western developed countries in the 1990s, it is not that shabby. The pictures taken should be good. "The Butterfly Effect" is intended to find opportunities to be sold abroad. Wan Xiaohu is ready to work hard on the picture quality. China is too backward to film it, otherwise it will lose its science fiction flavor. Originally, Chinese-language films were not very popular with foreigners. If they were made in a shabby way, we couldn¡¯t expect foreigners to appreciate them. After all, we are Chinese, and we have to show the good side of China to foreigners to appreciate, right? "This place is good." Wan Xiaohu nodded with satisfaction, "However, it needs to be renovated and the exterior of the factory area should be decorated to make it look better. This place should have been cool ten years ago." Wang Zhonglei said with a smile: "I You are responsible for paying for it, and you discuss with the director team how to make it according to your ideas. "There is a cellar erotic movie incident in the movie, but in China from the 1980s to the 1990s, not everyone could afford a camera. Locating the background in a photographic equipment factory avoids this problem. ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (Please give me your recommendation votes and collections!)
