After dinner, we continued discussing the script in the afternoon. In the next two days, Wan Xiaohu was discussing with Mai Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang on how to improve "Infernal Affairs". Time passed in a blink of an eye, and after a day in the capital, Mak Siu-fai and Zhuang Wenqiang took the script back to Hong Kong for revision. After seeing off Mak Siu-fai and Zhuang Wenqiang, Wan Xiaohu picked up the script of "My Sassy Girl" and began to study how to conceive and prepare it. On Saturday, October 28, 2000, most of the employees of Dandelion Film Company who were supposed to be on vacation gathered in the Lihua Garden Community and were busy moving things upstairs and downstairs. Today is the day when the renovation of the office building in Sitong CBD Building leased by the company is completed, and it is also the day when Dandelion Film Company officially changes its office. They are about to bid farewell to the era of living in a small house and move into a brand new office building of 600 square meters. Every employee is smiling, and the boss Su Ya has decided to go to the hotel at noon to invite everyone to be corrupt. Wan Xiaohu¡¯s director¡¯s studio was the first to move. After one round trip, all his things were moved. "Su Ya, you are here to help everyone move. I will go to Bao Jianfeng to see the relocation work of Novel Network." Sitting in the big truck, Wan Xiaohu stretched out his head and shouted to Su Ya who was doing the commanding work. . Su Ya waved her hand: "Go, go." When they arrived at Bao Jianfeng's house, several people had already packed everything that needed to be packed, and were waiting to be loaded into the car and left. As an online website, in order not to delay user login and for future development, a new set of servers has been purchased in the Sitong CBD office building. The preparations have been debugged and the data can be switched there at any time. "Cedar, is it broken here?" Wan Xiaohu asked casually after getting out of the car. Zangjian Jiangnan nodded: "Baojianfeng and the others are counting down and preparing to synchronize." "That's good. The newly purchased servers are all the latest models of Inspur. You don't need to complain anymore that the server can't keep up." Following. The bursting of the Internet bubble caused personal bookstores to close down, and traffic was divided between L's Sky and Novel Network. Although it could not compete with L's Sky due to its limited influence, it was often overloaded and needed stronger server support. Today¡¯s Novel Network has gathered a group of outstanding novel authors, with hundreds of original novels being serialized every day. "My Sassy Girl" was serialized and became a popular work on the website alongside Huang Liangwen's martial arts novels. At this time, there was no concept of piracy or non-piracy. Martial arts novels were everywhere, and readers went online to read the websites with the most comprehensive scans of martial arts novels. After a while, Bao Jianfeng came out of the room. "Mr. Wan, we have transferred the information to Sitong's server. Should the server here be returned to the merchant, or should it be taken with you?" Wan Xiaohu shook his head: "Bring whatever you return, I can still use it." Time Ten At half past one, Dandelion and the others have all moved to Sitong CBD Building. The scene was chaotic because the three bosses, Su Ya, Wan Xiaohu and Li Xia, were all half-experienced and did not plan ahead before moving. All seating arrangements for employees must be adjusted on-site. It took more than an hour to finally get everything ready and everyone was assigned to a suitable office location. "Hey, Mr. Su, since we are moving into the new company, why don't we all take a group photo?" Li Yumin suggested as he conjured a camera out of nowhere. Su Ya's eyes lit up: "Okay." In this way, the proposal was unanimously approved by everyone. Currently, Dandelion Film Company has a total of 34 employees, and Novel Network has a total of 14 employees, plus three bosses who have shares, a total of 51 people . They all crowded into the front desk facing the elevator room, squatting in the front row and standing in the back. As the boss, Su Ya got a throne alone. "Who's going to take pictures?" Wang Qianqian suddenly asked. "Ask the security guard of the building for help." Soon, the security guard came over happily and stood in the elevator. The focus of the camera had been adjusted, and he only needed to press the shutter button lightly. There are two signs at the front desk of Dandelion. On the top is a line of large characters "Dandelion Film Company", and next to it is the logo, a cartoon tiger's head, but the word "king" in the middle has become a dandelion. This logo was recently tinkered with by Su Ya. In the past, the company only had a dynamic logo, which was the animation inserted in the movie. Later, Su Ya felt that she had to redesign a logo for document circulation, so she came up with this cartoon tiger head. In this regard, Wan Xiaohu is too lazy to complain. If there is no word "king" on the tiger's head, doesn't it become a cat? Unfortunately, his arms couldn't hold his thighs. Under Su Ya's power, the logo still passed. Under the big characters of the film company, there is a line of small characters "Novel Network", and next to it is "Novel Network"?Logo, a seal in seal script, is engraved with the four characters "novel" and has a strong literary and artistic flavor. The entire front desk is designed very much in line with the style of a modern large enterprise. At first glance, you can tell that this is a high-end and classy company. ¡°1, 2, 3, eggplant!¡± Click. The camera recorded a new chapter of Dandelion. No one knows whether these 51 people will start a business together in the future, but at least at this moment, everyone gathers together and works hard together. They are all a group of people who work tirelessly for life, future, and ideals, and their smiles are filled with youthful and passionate vitality. There is reason to believe that the future belongs to them! After thanking the security guard, colleagues from Dandelion Film Company took a group photo together to commemorate the occasion, and the staff of Novel Network also took a group photo together to commemorate the event. After half an hour of tossing like this, everyone finally couldn't bear the hunger anymore and headed to the restaurant together for a hearty meal. I will continue to be busy in the afternoon, trying to arrange the company more perfectly. Wan Xiaohu was also caught up in the tossing. In his own exclusive area, he went back and forth to debug. The editing room, conference room, screening room and office were all arranged according to his wishes. This will be the place where he will create movies from now on. According to the requirements, all the doors are made of pure steel. Without keys, it is almost impossible to break in. The most taboo thing about making a movie is leaking secrets. Wan Xiaohu doesn¡¯t want the copies to be stolen or the script to be leaked. After a while, Su Ya walked in with her hands behind her back, looked at the well-arranged editing room, and praised: "It's not bad, it looks like a studio." "Nonsense, I spent a lot of effort designing it." Wan Xiaohu Jiang A pile of books are sorted into the bookshelf one by one. Many of them are in English. For Wan Xiaohu, the necessity of learning English is too great. Chinese movies are lagging behind, not only because there are few film-making talents, but also the entire film education system is lagging behind. For example, there are very few direct translations of classic film works from the French Revolution period in the Chinese mainland market. There are very few translations of Hollywood film textbooks. If you want to obtain other people's advanced film techniques and film art, as well as the context of film development, you must first understand these works. ¡°And Wan Xiaohu is still ambitious. He wants his movies to go out and conquer foreigners. This English is so important. Now when he has free time, he will read the Oxford Dictionary for a while and review his CET-6 English in his previous life. Su Ya casually pulled out an English book and read the title: "Nature Is Not Indifferent?" "Eisenstein's book talks about how to integrate the artistry of the film throughout the film, the organic combination of shots, sound and image A harmonious combination, as well as reasonable reference to other art forms. In fact, what attracts me most about this book is that the author introduces the creative process of "Battleship Potemkin" and "Ivan the Terrible". Such interpretation of master movies It¡¯s hard to find books on creative experience. I searched all over the mainland, but there was no Chinese version, only the Russian version. I went to Hong Kong last time and found the English version.¡± Wan Xiaohu explained casually. "That's awesome. Have you read all these books?" "Of course, I'm a student in the directing department!" Wan Xiaohu said proudly. As a directing student, he likes to study directing works. In the previous track, I read countless director¡¯s books. In particular, the China Film Publishing House organized a lot of manpower during the period after 2002 to publish the "Foreign Film Theory Masterpiece Series" and translate and edit professional film books, making many directors' masterpieces available on the streets of China. But now, these books have not been translated, so Wan Xiaohu can only find the English version and then study it. "Then what is this book about?" Su Ya didn't believe in evil and took out another book with very new packaging. ""Secular Myth: The Wild Thinking of Film", written by Yvette Pir¨® from Hungary. He is a doctor of philosophy and studies the philosophical theory of film. When Pir¨® was a professor at New York University, he regarded film as a kind of thinking. To study special phenomena, he believes that movies are characterized by visual images, and while this visual image has its own original appearance, it is also transcendent and automatically possesses the ability to express certain abstract meanings. Verifying that the film's way of thinking is independent of natural language, Pirro" When talking about "Secular Myth: The Wild Thinking of Film", Wan Xiaohu couldn't stop talking. This book, he was I watched it very carefully, especially at a class reunion where I had a heated debate with others. "As for the proposition of this book, I have always believed that Pillow made the mistake of pan-symbolism and pan-semioticism. Her assertion that visual images automatically express abstract meanings pushes the essence of film into the misunderstanding of mysticism and subjectivism.""And the final explanation is false" "Stop, stop, stop." "Su Ya covered her ears and interrupted, "Okay, you talked so much and I didn't understand a word. Just understand one thing, do you think this book is a wrong theory? Do you still read the wrong one? " Wan Xiaohu scratched his head and said rather unhappily: "Although her explanation was a bit too much about studying movies, as a classic work of Western film theory in the post-linguistic period, this book involves philosophy, aesthetics, mythology, Many theories such as psychology, sociology, anthropology, psychoanalysis, structuralist semiotics, etc. can make people more clearly aware of the creative style of film and expand film thinking, which is worth savoring. " "Okay, I'd better not tell you these mysterious things. Your director is too self-righteous. Isn't he just making a movie? It has also risen to the level of theory! " "Oh, you are playing the piano to a cow. Movies are the director's art. Do you understand? " "cut. "Su Ya expressed her disdain deeply in one word. "Forget it, it's better to fall in love with a girl than to play the piano with a cow. Su Ya, let me sing you a song "Only-You". You are more suitable to listen to this. " " Get out! "
