    After several singing and dancing programs.  Finally, the opening ceremony came to the introduction of a new generation of directors.  At Li Yong¡¯s invitation, Wan Xiaohu, Zhang Yang, Zhang Yuan, Lu Xuechang, and several other young directors whom Wan Xiaohu had never heard of, stepped onto the stage together.  Said to be a young director, except for him, everyone else is in their thirties.  In terms of age, demeanor, and appearance, Wan Xiaohu believes that he can completely defeat these directors.  "Red flowers must be lined with green leaves! Thank you to the organizer for letting me go on stage with other young directors. At this moment, I will definitely be the center of attention." Wan Xiaohu was wearing a denim jacket, jeans underneath, and was meticulously combed.  Quite trendy and full of energy.  On the big stage, several directors lined up together.  As the host, Yuan Li introduced: "There are talented people from generation to generation, and the older generation of Chinese film directors have contributed countless excellent films to us. And now, we are gratified to see that the younger generation of directors have grown up and begun to  Dedicate movies to us." Li Yong said: "They are all great people. I have watched "Bathing" shot by Zhang Yang, "Very Summer" shot by Mr. Lu and "Waiting Alone" shot by Wan Xiaohu.  "It's been very popular recently, and this time we have a new movie "The Butterfly Effect", which is the first domestically produced science fiction masterpiece. Come on, director Wan Xiaohu, you are the youngest, please introduce yourself to us. " Wan Xiaohu.  He took the microphone and said according to the rehearsed content: "Hello everyone in Beining, I am Wan Xiaohu, a new director. Making movies is my greatest pleasure. I hope everyone can support my movie, "Waiting Alone"  "And "Butterfly Effect", thank you." The host of Xiguang Station walked up to Wan Xiaohu and said, "I know Wan Xiaohu, you were born in 1980, you are twenty years old this year, and you are a junior at Nortel, right?"  "Yes." "As the youngest director in China, and coming to Beining with a science fiction movie, why do you want to make a science fiction movie?" Wan Xiaohu looked at the crowd of people in the audience and couldn't help but feel excited, and said with a smile: "  I like science fiction movies, because my history is too short, so I have to look to the future. It also enriches the types of domestic movies. " "It's very good. Thanks to director Wan Xiaohu, let's ask Zhang Yang.  ¡­¡± After being teased by the host, each director briefly introduced themselves before stepping off the stage together.  After stepping down from the stage, Wan Xiaohu felt refreshed. The opening ceremony was broadcast live on Xiguang Channel and was watched by tens of millions of people. He showed his face for a while.  And there are several directors with crooked looks who make him look even more handsome and suave.  Once I was in a good mood, I suddenly felt that the program was full of poetry and painting.  It was past ten o'clock after all this fuss, and the opening ceremony party finally came to an end.  After it was over, Wan Xiaohu, Yao Chen, Chen Chong, and Li Xia went out to have barbecue.  I originally wanted to recruit Chen Kun and Zhou Xun, but these two are celebrities and had to keep a low profile.  ?Bai Ninh street barbecue stall.  Several people had a great time eating.  Wan Xiaohu picked up a big shrimp and said: "This shrimp looks like a shrimp." "It's a bit like it." Yao Chen was also nibbling on the big shrimp.  Chen Chong patted Li Xia on the shoulder with a sad look on his face: "Brother, I know how it feels to be cooked. It's uncomfortable." "Go, go, you guys are making noises, you can't stop eating shrimps."  Mouth!" After eating a lobster, Wan Xiaohu wiped his hands, picked up the beer glass, and asked: "How was my performance on the stage today? Did it feel like I stood out from the crowd?" Li Xia buried his head in the battle with the prawns:  "No." "You are talking nonsense, Yao Chen, you say." "A little bit." "Just a little bit? Okay, don't say you are a tiger girl in the future, I don't know you. Adult, you are my good buddy,  You're not lying to me." Chen Chong swallowed the roast meat in his mouth and said, "To be honest, I really didn't see it. However, it may be because we are far away. You all look similar. You have arms and legs.  . Besides, those hosts are stealing the spotlight, so I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°I¡± Wan Xiaohu looked up at the sky.  Eat and drink enough, go back to sleep.  The next day, the organizers held a film academic symposium with the theme "Chinese Films Toward the 21st Century", and Wan Xiaohu was also invited to participate.  Starting at 9 o'clock in the morning, they took turns to discuss "the cultural survival background of Chinese movies under the trend of globalization", "the economic survival background of Chinese movies after joining the WTO", "high technology and movies" and "how Chinese mainstream movies integrate with the world"  ¡± and many other propositions.  China under the trend of globalization?In the context of the cultural survival of the film, when this issue was discussed, it was mainly a few old experts who were spitting on each other.  Several young directors, including Wan Xiaohu and Zhang Yang, sat upright, nodding from time to time, and then showing different expressions of admiration, surprise, praise, etc.  Regarding the economic survival background of Chinese films after joining the WTO, Wan Xiaohu was singled out by senior experts who asked him to comment on this issue.  Wan Xiaohu said modestly that he came to learn with an open mind and that he could not make many suggestions on this issue yet.  The old experts are very satisfied with Wan Xiaohu's attitude.  ¡°I¡¯m asking you to speak, not really to express your opinions, but mainly to show democracy.  Then, look, Chinese movies still have to rely on us old people to lead the way. Young people still need more training, rather than us occupying the latrine and not shitting.  Of course, the first few propositions can be kept low-key. As the director of the first domestic science fiction film in the 21st century, Wan Xiaohu did his best to express his thoughts on the next proposition "High Technology and Movies".  "I used to watch "Star Wars" and thought it was incredible. The images were so shocking. Then I went to find out how it was filmed, how the spaceships and monsters in it were created. Then I realized,  Director George Lucas, before he made "Star Wars", opened a special effects company called 'Industrial Light-and-Magic'. The name means industrial lighting and magic. Now we call it industry.  "Light and Magic." "Star Wars" is no stranger to Chinese filmmakers. Last year, "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace" landed in China, taking away 33 million at the box office and becoming the runner-up that year. This is still piracy.  The disc has already spread throughout China and won box office.  However, the experts here probably don¡¯t know much about the Star Wars series, and they just regard it as a Hollywood blockbuster.  Wan Xiaohu continued: "It is unimaginable in China to set up a special effects company for a movie. But it was this Industrial Light and Magic company that produced the Star Wars trilogy, which took Hollywood by storm and made Hollywood famous from then on.  Entering the era of special effects. The Star Wars prequel was released in China last year, and everyone saw the effect. "Actually, the year before last (1998), there was another Hollywood movie that everyone will never forget.  "Titanic" took away 359 million yuan in box office in the Mainland. This is still an incomplete statistics. I had just entered Nortel at the time, and I didn't understand why everyone was rushing to watch it. The whole world was watching it.  . Later, I learned about it and discovered something very interesting. " "Director James Cameron opened a special effects company called 'digital-domain' for the filming of "Terminator 2".  'Digital Realm'. Then we specially provided the full special effects for "Titanic". Just building a model that is the same as the historical shipwreck cost tens of millions of dollars, and this shipwreck film cost more than a million dollars in total.  100 million US dollars, which is more than 800 million yuan, which is higher than the total box office in China in a year. "Recently, I have heard that a large-scale movie "The Lord of the Rings" is about to be released.  The movie is directed by director Peter Jackson, and a special effects company 'weta-digital' produced the special effects for the entire movie. " "Like this, a company specializing in special effects is opened for a movie, or the special effects company simply starts.  From the beginning, I participated in film production. When I was studying at Nortel, I could not imagine that our Chinese films were still in the era without special effects. Even if we did special effects, they would be edited in post-production and spent some money to repair them.  For example, when I shot "The Butterfly Effect," I didn't have money to do special effects. "I'm not saying that I saw anything. I am a beginner in the film industry and I know little about the film industry.  Technology will definitely have an increasing impact on movies, and we should invest more in this area. To paraphrase Mr. Deng, ¡®Scientific knowledge is the primary productive force¡¯, and movies are no exception. Thank you, Director Xiaohu.  That's right, we should pay attention to the use of high technology in movies and not let Hollywood focus on beauty." Several experts agreed, and then briefly chatted for a few minutes before moving on to the next topic.  When it comes to high technology, they also know that high technology is helpful for movies, but few experienced experts understand what high technology is.  They may not even know what digital matte painting is, what motion capture technology is, what particle special effects are, and what imax is.  Some of them don¡¯t even understand digital imaging, and they don¡¯t even understand the impact of the Internet on movies.  Therefore, we can only talk about it in a general way and classify special effects into high technology in general.  After Wan Xiaohu said it himself, he felt that he was playing the piano to others, and the experts' reaction was too cold.  For a while, Wan Xiaohu also lost his ability to talk freely.If you are in a good mood, keep smiling, sit aside and wander away. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out and the time for the experts to play again, spitting and salivating, bullshit and nonsense, it was so fun.  Finally, the morning-long academic discussion ended successfully with applause.  Everyone at the meeting agreed that in the new century, Chinese films should not only expand their unique subject matter resources and give full play to the national characteristics of domestic films, but also work hard on entertainment to gain the initiative in market competition.  In terms of development strategy, we must implement a "supportive" policy and encourage film companies to integrate with domestic companies and high-tech.  At the same time, film companies must further deepen reforms and establish and continuously improve operating mechanisms that are more in line with market competition.  After the meeting, Wan Xiaohu completely forgot about today¡¯s meeting and went drinking with Zhang Yang and others as brothers.  ??Chinese movies can¡¯t be solved in meetings!  ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª (Thanks to Vanishing Maple, Enlightenment and Letter, and Dream Puzzle for the reward.)
