The impact of the economic crisis in 1997 and 1998 caused the economies of many Asian countries to be plundered. Although Hong Kong had the backing of the mainland and kept the Hong Kong dollar from losing ground, it also severely damaged its vitality and caused countless people to jump from buildings. In this economic crisis, the Hong Kong film industry, which had already gone from prosperity to decadence, has accelerated into an ice age. "Without filming, there is no food to eat. At this time, a large number of Hong Kong artists have turned their attention to the mainland's rapidly rising entertainment industry. A large number of Hong Kong artists have gone north to Beijing, trying to find a second career in the mainland. Stars such as Yuan Yingyi, Yang Ziqiong, Wu Qilong, Guan Zhilin, Carina Lau and other stars have begun to look for agents to sign contracts in the mainland. Wang Jinghua is the intermediary in this northward gold rush. Not only celebrity artists, but also behind-the-scenes staff have also flocked to the mainland in large numbers. In the near future, the entertainment industries of mainland China and Hong Kong will be integrated. Under the introduction of Wang Jinghua, Wan Xiaohu met Guan Zhilin, who was once known as "the most beautiful woman in Hong Kong". "Rosamund, this is Mr. Wang Zhonglei, the boss of Huayi Brothers, and this is the young talented director Wan Xiaohu." Wang Jinghua introduced with a smile, Rosamund is Guan Zhilin's English name. "Hello, Miss Guan." Wan Xiaohu stretched out his hand and shook Guan Zhilin's hand. ?? 38-year-old Guan Zhilin takes good care of herself. She wears light makeup and has the aura of a mature woman who still has the charm. However, Wan Xiaohu could not find in her short hair the shadow of Lan Xiaodie who had long hair and fluttered while watching "The New Crane and the Needle". Speaking of female stars in Hong Kong, Wan Xiaohu likes two people the most, one is Brigitte Lin who plays the undefeated Dongfang in The Swordsman, and the other is Guan Zhilin who plays Lan Xiaodie. They are all the kind of characters who look very handsome, have long flowing hair, fly around in a dashing way, and dare to love and hate. We just met and couldn¡¯t find that feeling, so I was a little disappointed. But Wan Xiaohu concealed this disappointment very well and smiled brightly. Guan Zhilin asked a few people to sit down: "What drinks do Mr. Wang and Director Wan want to drink? Shall I ask the assistant to get it?" Wan Xiaohu waved his hand: "Just drink some boiled water, Miss Guan, the reason for our visit this time, Sister Hua should I've told you. I won't beat around the bush. I really hope that Miss Guan can star in "The Butterfly Effect." If you have any dissatisfaction with Miss Guan, just tell me and I'll see if I can convince Miss Guan." "Director Wan. Come on, please." Guan Zhilin smiled, "I should have told you all the reasons before." Science fiction movies, either starring, are these two. Wan Xiaohu took out the movie script that he had prepared and did not hand it to Guan Zhilin, but held it in his hand: "I understand your concerns. It has always been difficult for science fiction films to succeed in the mainland, even in Asia. I don¡¯t have any basis for watching movies. But I think ¡°The Butterfly Effect¡± is different from ordinary science fiction films. ¡°What¡¯s the difference?¡± ¡°It¡¯s its subject matter, which is different from ordinary hard-core science fiction films, including robots, aliens, and spaceships. Different, there are no such things here. What is there is a theory that has been popular in the scientific community for a long time, a topological chain reaction, a chaotic phenomenon, also called the butterfly effect. A butterfly in the tropical rain forest of the Amazon River Basin in South America flaps occasionally. A few wings can cause a tornado in Texas, USA, two weeks later. Based on this concept, it is a realistic story, not a surreal one. " "Is this theory itself science fiction? " " It's different. " "The Butterfly Effect" is a "soft science fiction" movie classified under science fiction. It is more about exploring the behavioral influence between people and society. It is a kind of science fiction that describes the heart. In addition, "The Butterfly Effect" is more like a love story. The film uses the male protagonist to rewrite history back and forth to deduce the occurrence and ending of love. Isn't this another romantic story? You may not know the efforts I have made for you, but I have always been looking for the happiness of two people. I want to I think it¡¯s very romantic, doesn¡¯t it?¡± Wang Zhonglei said cooperatively: ¡°Yes, when I first saw the script, I had a strong urge to make it. Science fiction movies are not unpopular. The reason depends on whether the movie is exciting or not. Many domestic science fiction movies don¡¯t even have scientific theories. They are just nonsense and don¡¯t have special effects. No one will watch "The Butterfly Effect" even if it has a theoretical basis. People who don¡¯t understand this theory can still understand through the plot that changes in the past will affect the present. " "Brother Lei is right about this movie. I am confident that it can be made into a classic movie among science fiction movies. Even if it is a little exaggerated, it is not impossible to leave a name in film history. As for the starring issue, I personally like to watch movies starring Ms. Guan, especially Lan Xiaodie. I was deeply impressed." Wan Xiaohu continued: "However, because of the setting of the script, both the male and female protagonists have to appear.??Somewhat green. Especially the heroine, who has a bumpy fate and has to play a prostitute. I think this does not fit the image of Miss Guan. The role of the male protagonist's mother plays a great role in the plot and has a propulsive effect. She is one of the leading actors. "Whether Su Ye's mother is the protagonist or not is up to Wan Xiaohu to decide. As a director, Wan Xiaohu has given enough face. The rest depends on Guan Zhilin's decision. If she agrees, Wan Xiaohu will Xiaohu was very happy. If he didn't agree, Wan Xiaohu wouldn't force it. In the end, Guan Zhilin didn't give an answer immediately, but said he would think about it for a few days. "Ms. Guan, we will start the filming on June 2nd. I hope it will be in June." Greet Miss Guan before. "Wan Xiaohu stood up and said goodbye. After contacting Guan Zhilin, Wan Xiaohu and Wang Zhonglei went to meet another big star without stopping. Chen Daoming, the biggest male star under Wang Jinghua, persuaded Chen Daoming to guest star in Su Ye's Father, there is only a short scene. With the reputation of Huayi Brothers and Wang Jinghua, Chen Daoming should not refuse. As expected, Chen Daoming simply agreed. However, his schedule is very full. When will he go to the crew to film? After he has coordinated the decision, Wan Xiaohu will naturally not refuse to agree. After taking care of Chen Daoming, it is the turn of another popular idol group, Lu Yi. Lu Yi and Chen Kun have collaborated in "Like." "Fog Like Rain and Like Wind", Wan Xiaohu asked Chen Kun to contact him, and he quickly contacted Lu Yi. Lu Yi was more interested in the science fiction theme of "The Butterfly Effect", and finally agreed to guest star Su Ye's roommate B. In the reality caused by the third change of the past, it was the roommate who saved the male protagonist from committing suicide. Over the past few days, the crew gradually got together under the leadership of Wu Ershan and Ning Hao, while Wan Xiaohu only focused on looking for stars. Come to make a cameo. Nowadays, Wan Xiaohu is no longer a simple student director, but has made a popular movie. The current box office is heading towards 20 million. Although one movie cannot prove anything, among one hundred people in China. It is estimated that 99.9 people do not know Wan Xiaohu, but there are not many people in the entertainment industry who do not know Wan Xiaohu. This is a new director, and it is worth investing. Naturally, the celebrities have to give Wan Xiaohu some face. , especially stars from Nortel. Zhao Wei and Xu Jinglei, among the four young actors, have already replied to Wan Xiaohu that they will make guest appearances in "The Butterfly Effect" and won this year's College Student Film Award for their outstanding performances in "Bathing". Jiang Wu, the best actor at the festival, also agreed to make a guest appearance, as did Wang Jinghua's general Hu Jun, Chen Daoming, Lu Yi, Zhao Wei, Xu Jinglei, Jiang Wu, Yuan Yingyi, and Hu. Jun, plus Guan Zhilin who is likely to star, and starring Zhou Xun and Chen Kun, the star of "Butterfly Effect" is absolutely bright! Wan Xiaohu can't wait to do it!
