June 1, 2000, Thursday, Children's Day. It has just been three weeks since "Waiting Alone" was released in major cities across the country. According to incomplete statistics, the box office has already accumulated 17 million yuan. Because at this period, computer online ticket sales in mainland theaters have just begun, and many theaters are still selling tickets manually. Statistics will inevitably have errors, but within this range, the difference will not be much. Seeing that there is still a period of release period, it is not impossible for the box office to hit 20 million. Yu Dong was so happy that the DVDs and VCDs that had been produced were put in the warehouse and postponed to the market. Everything must give way to the box office. After all, if the box office is good, the attention the movie will receive will increase, and DVD sales will also increase. At the same time, after a long period of eating and drinking and spending nearly 40,000 to 50,000 yuan in public relations fees, Li Xia finally signed an agreement with the movie channel. The movie channel signed the TV premiere rights for "Waiting Alone" for a price of 1 million, as well as the rights to use subsequent programs. It is agreed that after September, after the theater and DVD sales of "Waiting Alone" are completed, the movie channel can broadcast "Waiting Alone" in its TV station programs. After selling the first broadcast rights to CCTV, local TV stations also came to the door one after another, wanting to buy the broadcast rights of "Waiting Alone". However, at this time it was Dandelion Film Company's turn to wait for the price. With the film's success at the box office and its excellent reputation, it had no worries about finding a buyer. Of course, the rights to broadcast the second round cannot be sold at a high price, so it is better than nothing. With the good news from Yu Dong and Li Xia, Wan Xiaohu started filming "The Butterfly Effect" in a good mood. With the funds and connections of Huayi Brothers, the crew completed the set-up in just two weeks, and has already made preliminary adjustments. Producers: Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, Wan Xiaohu. Director: Wan Xiaohu. ?Executive Director: Wu Ershan. Deputy Director: Ning Hao. Director Assistant: Cheng Er. Casting director: Li Xia, who also serves as external producer. Scene record: Liu Yang, who also serves as dramaturg (student from Nortel, former scene recorder of "Waiting Alone"). Lifestyle producer: Liu Hai (assigned by Huayi Brothers). On-site producer: Li Chengfeng (assigned by Huayi Brothers). Coordinator: Wang Shuxin (assigned by Huayi Brothers). Finance: Zhang Xia (assigned by Huayi Brothers). Photographer: Lu Le. Assistant photographer: Chen Chong. Photography assistants: Li Hui, Wang Kefei (Nortel students, former photographers on the set of "Waiting Alone"). Artist: Liu Xingang (original artist of "A Sigh"). Props masters: Wang Lijun, Ma Cheng (student from Nortel, former prop master of the crew of "Waiting Alone"). Makeup artist: Li Dongtian. Makeup assistant: Xu Ying. Recording Engineers: Zhang Yang, Liu Yangyang (students at Nortel, former recording engineers on the crew of "Waiting Alone"). In addition, the mechanics, lighting technicians, lighting assistants, and art assistants are all Nortel students. There are 45 people in the entire crew, half of whom are students recruited by Wan Xiaohu from Nortel. The school also strongly supports students to get exercise while they are studying, especially since summer vacation is coming soon, so there will be no delay in their studies. The other part are all veteran filmmakers who have collaborated with Huayi Brothers. For example, photographer Lu Le, who graduated from Nortel, collaborated with Zhang Yimou and photographed excellent works such as "Alive". For example, makeup artist Li Dongtian collaborated with Zhang Yimou to serve as makeup for "Speak Well" and is a national-level stylist. ¡°These excellent filmmakers, with Wan Xiaohu¡¯s qualifications, can¡¯t pull them in at all, thanks to the big mountain of Huayi Brothers. Being in the entertainment industry in the Mainland, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei will be given some face. "I'm very happy to come together and collaborate on "The Butterfly Effect". I haven't graduated from school yet, so I have little talent. I hope that seniors in the film industry can forgive me for some of my shortcomings in my work. If I don't do well in my work, If there are any issues, feel free to mention them and I will work hard to improve them.¡± At the crew meeting the next day, Wan Xiaohu said humbly in front of more than 40 people, old and young. When filming "Waiting Alone", the crew were all students, so he could speak big words to calm these students. Nowadays, Wan Xiaohu does not have the confidence to face many excellent older generation filmmakers, whether in terms of qualifications or age. Being polite and low-key is our policy. Lu Le¡¯s hair was relatively sparse and he said with a smile: ¡°Director Wan is too polite. If you want to eat from the crew, we will just listen to Director Wan¡¯s instructions.¡± ¡°Then I would like to thank Mr. Lu.Brother's support. "Wan Xiaohu said that he was very satisfied with Lu Le's words, whether they were polite or sincere. At least this attitude came out. "Chinese people pay attention to this attitude issue. "You don't have a good attitude, no matter how capable you are, I won't I will use you. You have a good attitude, and even if your skills are a bit loose, you can still be accommodating. With the cooperation of Lu Le, a veteran, and the support of a large group of Nortel staff, Wan Xiaohu has the control of the director. , steadily. At the meeting, Wan Xiaohu formulated the division of labor and rules and disciplines for the crew, and promised that if the movie was successful and the money was made, he would be absolutely generous with the red envelopes. "I am filming "Waiting Alone". At that time, I told everyone on the crew that I, Wan Xiaohu, do not seek money, but only fame and the joy of making movies. I am here to make a promise to you. As long as the movie makes money, there will be red envelopes. The more you make, the more red envelopes you will get. I will never break my promise! " Others said little and could only rely on money to increase their momentum. This red envelope opened the way, and it really had an extraordinary effect. Everyone applauded enthusiastically. " Director Wan is definitely a good director, well done! " "Absolutely support Director Wan's work and resolutely obey the crew's instructions! " "Director Wan, let me tell you where to hit! " "This director is very good. " "We will definitely cooperate with the director's work. " Wan Xiaohu laughed, what he wanted was this effect. " After the mobilization meeting, the crew went into full swing, setting up the studio, arranging photographic equipment, and preparing the machine to test the film. It was like clockwork that was working hard, clicking forward. " The staff are already at work, and the actors are ready, but they haven't been allowed to come over yet. The layout of several shooting locations has not been completed, and the first formal shooting will not start until the opening ceremony tomorrow. Taking the list of actors, Wan Xiaohu went to Li Xia: "Ma Xia, ask Wu Ershan and the others to make arrangements and notify the actors one by one according to the show and when they will arrive. I don't want anyone to be late, and I don't allow anyone to be absent. " "OK. " "In addition, tell Cheng Er that all the celebrities who will attend the launch ceremony tomorrow will make a call in the evening, chat with them, and pass on my thoughts. Everything that needs to be prepared is ready. Don't make any unexpected situations. Now that the contracts have been signed, don't treat them as stars, just do whatever you want with them. " "OK. " After everything was arranged, Wan Xiaohu suddenly felt that he was now as confident as a warrior who had sharpened his sword, put on his armor and helmet, and was ready for the upcoming battle! "Waiting Alone" is just a small test. "The Butterfly Effect" is the real first battle "I want to go all out! Tell everyone that I, Wan Xiaohu, am a capable director. I don¡¯t rely on luck to pick up mistakes. I want to sprint towards the path of a great director! I am Wan Xiaohu, I speak for myself! "
