In the midst of the feast, the dinner with the reporter from "China Film News" came to an end. After the food and drink were served, the interview that followed seemed very harmonious. ¡°A young and promising director like me is a blessing to the Chinese film industry.¡± The reporter smelled of alcohol and was trembling when he spoke. This made Wan Xiaohu seriously doubt, can this interview continue? But the reporter soon gave the answer. Even in a drunken state, he was still able to start the interview calmly. Obviously, they are all excellent media talents who have been tested by the wine table. "Director Wan, first ask a question that has been reported by many media before. "The Butterfly Effect" is a very rare science fiction film among domestic films. Including Hong Kong and Taiwan, science fiction films are rarely shot. In our impression, there are only Hollywood films. "The science fiction film is very popular. Are you under a lot of pressure when filming a science fiction movie this time?" With Wang Zhonglei as his companion, Wan Xiaohu drank less today and had a clear mind: "I think filming any movie is stressful." The market will not determine the quality of a movie based on its subject matter. I am very confident in the script of "The Butterfly Effect" and there is no great pressure. "We know that the cast (lineup) of the movie is very strong. From the beginning, The audience may have expectations for the movie because it contains stars they admire. From your first movie "Waiting Alone" to your second movie "The Butterfly Effect", both the cost and the cast have been completely changed. Can you control this change during the filming process? "Fortunately, it's enough to change your mentality. When filming "Waiting Alone", I can control the direction of the entire crew. When the crew becomes bigger, the power of one person becomes insignificant, and everyone in the crew must be united. I think this is also a kind of growth. " "How do you think the story of "The Butterfly Effect" has changed the past? Can it really change the future? " "There is a saying in Buddhism that what you sow will bring about its consequences. I firmly believe in this theory, or the theory that man will conquer nature. " "There was a paradox in the scientific community that said that a person never has a future. If you take a time machine and kill your past self, then you will not be able to have a future self, and it is even less possible to take a time machine and go back to the past and kill yourself. This leads to the conclusion that the past is irreversible. Do you think it is compared with the butterfly effect? "Is it more impactful?" The reporter asked, and then said: "If you feel difficult to answer, you can skip it and let's move on to the next question." "No, I can answer this question very well." He smiled: "The theory of the time machine is to go back from the future to the past, and to connect the past and the future end to end. It is not only a connection in time, but also a connection in space, or we can call it time travel. But "Butterfly" "Effect" is not about time travel. Although the protagonist has the ability to change the past, it only talks about the possibilities of the past and the future. It is like if you are thirsty now, if you drink water, you will not be thirsty after a while. , if you don¡¯t drink water, you will still be thirsty. These are two different choices, bringing two different results. To put it simply, the "Butterfly Effect" is more like talking about the parallel world theory. "can become a classic, naturally there will be no such superficial theoretical loopholes. Talking about Wan Xiaohu himself and "The Butterfly Effect", time flies by. "Last question, there is news that Zhao Wei stole your director's seat while filming. Can you tell me what happened? Is it true?" Wan Xiaohu laughed: "This is true. There was a scene where I had to perform in person, so Zhao Wei sat on my chair and filmed it for me. ¡°You¡¯re still acting?¡± ¡°You¡¯re just showing your face?¡± "No, I still know myself. My appearance is not outstanding, so I can't be an idol, and my acting skills are so-so, so I can't be a real person. It's more practical to work behind the scenes honestly, haha." "Well, thank you Director Wan Xiaohu Accepted an interview with "China Film News", welcome to chat next time." Standing up and shaking hands politely, the interview ended. "Brother, don't you drink a cup of tea anymore?" "No, it's too late. I'm full of water. Don't worry, brother, I will definitely promote your "Butterfly Effect" when I get back." "Then I'll thank you, brother. "Thank you. It's all my brothers. Okay, I still have to report to the press. Please tell Mr. Wang and leave first." "I'll send you away." Xiaohu stretched and went to Huayi Brothers' office.?Drinking a cup of tea made by female secretary Wang Zhonglei, while teasing the little secretary. After a while, Wang Zhonglei, who had gone to do business, came back and asked the reporter about the matter. "This reporter is the writer of "China Film News". He has first-class literary talent and a background. Although he prefers to eat and drink, he is a pretty good person." Wang Zhonglei said with emotion, "My brother told you yesterday that he is an artist manager jointly with Sister Hua. The company has already set a date to open on September 1st. I must come to support it then. " "Not to mention that I have to come too. " "Also, our Huayi Brothers are also planning to set up a film distribution company. Sign a few directors to make a film together. Are you interested in joining?" Wang Zhonglei asked with a smile. "I have a company." "What's wrong with having a company? We Huayi Brothers, apart from anything else, can still speak loudly in the domestic film industry. Don't blame me for speaking poorly. Dandelion Film Company, no There are no connections in this company, so you are a loser. How about coming to Huayi Brothers and setting up a special studio for you. This is what Feng Xiaogang will do." Wan Xiaohu said while drinking tea. Su Ya opens a company together and feels comfortable being her own boss. " "Look what you said, what can I do to restrain you when you come here? I haven't even been to the set of "The Butterfly Effect" a few times. Right." "I know Brother Lei, you are interested in me and give me a chance to cooperate. However, I like to work around, not only in movies, but also in everything. In fact, we can cooperate in another way. Dandelion Film Company is too young. I am now positioned as a production company. I make movies and find others to distribute them. Huayi Brothers can definitely cooperate and distribute our company's movies, right? " Wan Xiaohu would not sign a contract with others even if he killed himself. To put it bluntly, he has the world in his heart. Huayi Brothers is just a small pool and cannot accommodate his long dragon. Now that Dandelion has not grown up, it can rely on Huayi Brothers. In the future, who knows whether Huayi Brothers will hold Dandelion's thigh. Seeing that Wan Xiaohu was unwavering, Wang Zhonglei said nothing more. He valued Wan Xiaohu's potential, but it was only potential. Compared with Feng Xiaogang, Wan Xiaohu was far behind. It¡¯s good to sign a contract, but it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t sign a contract. "Since you don't want to sign a contract, then as you said, after you make a movie, come to me for distribution." "Of course, you have to trouble Brother Lei." Wang Zhonglei said with a smile: "The more you trouble me, the better. Make a movie , who still dislikes the release of too many movies? Let's get down to business, this time "The Butterfly Effect", I thought about it, it is more difficult for the mainland to adapt to a science fiction film, we should change our thinking and go to Hong Kong first. Go around and screen a few shows. If the reputation is good, then promote it to the mainland. If the effect is not good, it will not affect the sales in the mainland. "What do you think?" "It makes sense, I think this method is good." That¡¯s it. I¡¯ll arrange the schedule, and you can edit the footage as soon as possible. By the way, do you need me to find some gold medal editors for you?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll try to edit it first, and if it doesn¡¯t work, I¡¯ll ask for help.¡± Conghua Brother Yi left, and Wan Xiaohu felt a sense of urgency again. Wang Zhonglei plans to start promotion in Hong Kong to build momentum for the film, and then follow up with Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers and Golden Horse to compete for awards. In this way, the editing work must be completed early, because the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival starts in October, and registration for the exhibition will be required by the end of September. Coupled with the screening time in Hong Kong, the film will definitely have to be edited and sent out for review in mid-September. ¡°Well, I¡¯ll start immersing myself in editing tomorrow!¡± Ding ding, the phone rang. After Wan Xiaohu got through, it was Bao Jianfeng who called again: "Brother Hu, something big happened." "What's going on?" "We lost." "Lost? What are you talking about? What kind of defeat?" " "The battle was defeated, completely." "Let me be clear, what you said is confusing to me." "It's like this" It turns out that the starting point is officially launched at 12 noon today. It's such an exciting moment. Bao Jianfeng and others decided to hold a celebration meeting on BBS. The backbone of Qidian are all members of the original Qidian Novel Forum. They have high ambitions, hold high the banner of unifying the online literary world, and brag on BBS. As a result, while everyone was having a lively bragging contest, a guy with the ID "Jiangnan Samurai" came uninvited and made a lot of comments about Qidian. He said that the station was worthless, which was an insult to the two novels. Character. So, everyone at Qidian, led by Bao Jianfeng, argued with the Jiangnan warriors. "As a result, the Jiangnan warriors imitated Zhuge Liang and started to quarrel with other scholars, refuting Bao Jianfeng and others into silence. The more you look at the starting point, the more it looks like a joke, ashamed. "Whether it is from the reading experience or the setting of the library, the starting point is a hundred thousand light years behind 'l's sky'. With such a scumbag website, trying to compete with l's sky is simply a joke." This is the Jiangnan warrior's Exact words. "The sky of L?" Wan Xiaohu seemed to be a little impressed. "It is a website that was just established in August, three weeks earlier than us. It also came out of the Xilu Forum" With the spread of the bursting of the Internet bubble, **, NetEase and other portal websites have successively withdrawn the provision of free personal website services , causing a large number of personal bookstores to close, online literature is like a drought, and countless netizens are eagerly looking forward to the emergence of better websites. On August 1, 2000, five like-minded young people, Suiyuan, Hongchen, Water Spirit, May Sky and Weid, got together. I decided to become the largest website in the Chinese-speaking area and devote myself to the original cause of online literature. Because they are all moderators of the old bbs in the western continent. ???????????? Soon, four popular sections in West China, Self-Entertainment, Yiyiwangxing, Hongchen Pavilion and May Sky Random, came together to form L¡¯s Sky. Once established, it has swept the Internet literature with an unstoppable momentum, and has the momentum to become the hegemon of the Silver Age of Internet literature. "Is it so popular?" Wan Xiaohu touched his chin. He seemed to have heard of the website L's Sky and had some impression of it. But in the future, one company will be the only one, and among the other stations, there will be no one named L Sky. Tell me how you and Jiangnan Warriors should resolve this situation. If you don¡¯t resolve it, it will seriously affect Qidian¡¯s reputation.¡±
