    The recording of "Celebrity Meeting" program continues.  The host asked some questions about "The Butterfly Effect" to help promote it, and then started to talk about some stories in life.  "Director Wan, as a college student, you are only twenty years old this year, right?" Wan Xiaohu nodded: "Yes." "Twenty years old, you are too young. You have made two movies this year. Let me ask, like  At your age, can you suppress other people in the crew? " "It can't be described as suppressing or not suppressing. When I was filming "Waiting Alone", I was more aggressive because of that.  The crew are all students from Nortel, and they are not necessarily much older than me, so my authority can still be reflected. Sometimes when I am not happy during the filming, I just find someone to yell at, haha.  Voice, continued: "On the crew of "The Butterfly Effect", I consciously changed my own directing strategy because there were too many big names in the crew. Take our cinematographer Lu Le as an example. He has worked with director Zhang Yimou for many years.  I was nominated for an Oscar for Best Cinematography, but I had to fawn over him and didn't dare to do anything. I had to negotiate with him on how to shoot. Then, I respected him and he gave me face. It was a pleasure to work with him.  Let¡¯s talk about Zhou Xun and Chen Kun. I¡¯m very polite to them.¡± ¡°So your directorial strategy is very flexible?¡± ¡°Maybe you haven¡¯t found your own style yet. I want to try everything.  I always feel that a director¡¯s biggest role should be reflected in two points. The first point is the film. Film is the director¡¯s art. If the film cannot be made well, the director will fail. The second point should be to control the crew. The crew is direct.  The director, as the person in charge, must coordinate the production of movies" "Someone has called you the master of science fiction in Chinese movies. Do you like this title?" Wan Xiaohu said with a smile: "I like it very much, I am very interested in science fiction.  I¡¯m very interested in movies. Of course, I don¡¯t dare to claim to be a master yet, and I want to try movies of various styles, including comedies, romances, police movies, spy movies, and horror movies, if I have the chance.  "I will film it." "Such a wide range of themes?" "You should try your best to do it while you are young." Zhou Xun added: "In fact, he has already planned to direct his next movie."  People were surprised: "Really? Can you tell us about it?" Wan Xiaohu nodded: "The next movie is called "My Sassy Girl". It is an adaptation of a Korean online novel. The physical book is currently available in major bookstores in the Mainland.  It is available online. You can also read the original version at Novel.com. As for the second part, no formal decision has been made yet. I just have an intention to make a police film in Hong Kong. The script is currently being written. " "As a sixth-generation director.  , your market is very good? I have seen many sixth-generation directors, but they can't guarantee that they can shoot one movie after another. You have already planned the next one?" "Haha, it's a bit biased to say that I am the sixth generation.  Well, there is still a big gap between me and the sixth generation. I haven¡¯t graduated yet. ¡°No, many media have begun to call you the sixth generation director. Although you are very young, you made your debut early.  Acting directors are all directors of the new generation, which is a very appropriate title.  " Wan Xiaohu wants to win, but he is quite insistent on the generation of directors: "I think it is not the time to talk about the sixth generation, because when we classify directors, it is not based on the era, but more on the commonality of the directors.  , one, two, three, four, five, they all have something in common.  In the sixth generation, everyone has just emerged, and the commonalities are not yet clear.  Moreover, as Chinese films become more and more market-oriented, directors' activities must be closer to market-oriented. Let a hundred flowers bloom. It is no longer so appropriate to talk about directors' generations.  " "In other words, you don't want to be divided into generations?  " "It can be said that I don't want to be stereotyped. I think I can make more movies with different styles.  Besides, how old are Zhang Yang and Zhang Yuan? If you put me on the same generation as them, wouldn¡¯t that make me old? I¡¯m still young!  Ha ha!  "The topic stayed on Wan Xiaohu for too long. The host then looked for Zhou Xun and Chen Kun to chat for a while, and finally turned back to Wan Xiaohu. "Director Wan, how did you think of getting into the film school?  " "Well, it's quite simple to say, I just watched a movie in the cinema once, and then I couldn't control it.  Then I went home and told my dad that I didn¡¯t want to study anymore and that I was going to Beijing to pursue my dream.  Then I was intercepted by my high school class teacher and said that you are still young, why not go to film school first.  " Wan Xiaohu said lightly. Zhou Xun looked at Wan Xiaohu with a smile. She knew this story. The host smiled and asked: "So you take the test??Nortel?  " "How should I put it? I am very stubborn in some aspects. For example, if I say I want to take the Nortel exam, I will work hard to learn directing knowledge.  When I was in high school, my parents worked as dual-workers in a textile factory. They had a little savings, but they all cost me money. I bought books and videos, and went to tutoring classes during the summer. Finally, I failed the professional exam four times in a row and was accepted by Nortel.  .  Fortunately, I have learned a lot now and can repay them.  " Speaking of this, Wan Xiaohu couldn't help but sigh. "If he hadn't started over, their family's fate would have been very bumpy. Wan Xiaohu spent all his money on going to school, and he didn't make much of a living after graduation. His younger brother was idle, and his younger sister couldn't get married.  , the family has no savings, and his elderly parents have to go out to work after being laid off. It can be said that Wan Xiaohu lives a depressed and aggrieved life. He mostly wants to go home with a lot of money during the Chinese New Year.  Let the two elders live a good life and stop working so hard. Unfortunately, ideals are full and reality is skinny. Every time I go home to celebrate the New Year, I can only choose to get drunk to escape the depression of the present.  It feels so good to be able to do it all over again. It¡¯s about being famous and profitable. This is how you look like a winner in life! Telling stories and bragging, the recording of "Celebrity Meeting" will be completed soon, and the program will end.  , Wan Xiaohu, Zhou Xun, and Chen Kun held a large poster of "Butterfly Effect" together and said: "Starting from October 2, "Butterfly Effect" will be released in major cities across the country. Everyone is welcome to watch the movie, thank you.  " Now that the theater chain system has not been introduced, distribution and screening are all done in their own way. Therefore, the real big ticket warehouses are a few big cities, such as Beijing, Magic City, Hanwu, Shancheng, Chang'an and other cities, which are basically all  It can account for 40 to 50% of the box office. Promotional activities are basically carried out in these big cities. "Thanks to the three people for participating in the "Celebrity Meeting", we will complete the editing of the program in about three days.  It will air next week on Saturday.  " "Then thank you.  " "I hope we can invite three more people to visit us in the future.  " "Definitely.  "After finishing the show, Wan Xiaohu left the promotion team. He had too much to do and was not willing to waste time on promotion. "The script of "My Sassy Girl" is already pretty much the same. With a little modification and polish, it will be  Can go to the radio and television for review and approval. The next step is to prepare the crew. Wan Xiaohu¡¯s budget for the crew is 6 million yuan. The company currently only has about 2 million yuan on its books. However, the final payment for the video of "Waiting Alone" is about to arrive, and it is expected to be paid.  It's like 3 million. Now that "Butterfly Effect" is released in the mainland, since Dandelion's share in the mainland is only 20%, it is destined to not achieve much revenue. However, according to the performance of "Legend of Blood" in the previous trajectory, by the end of this year.  , we should be able to achieve profits and distribute dividends. We can barely maintain the normal operation of Dandelion and the normal filming of movies. ¡°Now Novel Network and Time Network are losing money!  "Wan Xiaohu returned to his studio and turned a signature pen very fast. Dang Dang Dang, there was a knock on the door. "Come in.  " Li Yumin pushed the door open and came in, holding a stack of newspapers: "Mr. Wan, I bought all the newspapers you asked for about the "Butterfly Effect" report.  " "Well, let it go.  " Waiting for Li Yumin to leave, Wan Xiaohu then picked up the newspaper and read it carefully. The previous screenings in Hong Kong and the Golden Rooster Film Festival have caused a lot of repercussions in the media. However, to really test whether it can attract mainstream audiences in the mainland, we still need to  It depends on the response at this premiere. Naturally, Wan Xiaohu started watching it from Dandelion's affiliate "Jingcheng Youth Daily". "The premiere was filled with uninterrupted applause. "The Butterfly Effect" is a science fiction film.  The storm shocked the audience.  According to this newspaper, yesterday, the premiere of the first domestic science fiction film "The Butterfly Effect" was held at UME Huaxing International Cinema in Beijing. There were many stars in attendance. During the entire 90-minute viewing process, the author exclaimed repeatedly, "How great is the movie?"  The excitement is beyond imagination" Behind, this old acquaintance Huang Zhizhi simply told lies with his eyes closed, praising "The Butterfly Effect" as being rare in the sky and not available on the earth, directly calling it one of the masterpieces of science fiction movies.  Said. After reading the report of "Beijing Youth Daily", even though Wan Xiaohu is thick-skinned, he can't help but feel shy. Although "Butterfly Effect" is a classic, there is still a gap between it and a masterpiece. Wan Xiaohu is self-aware of this.  "It's too muchbut I like it, haha!  " Wan Xiaohu boasted proudly and picked up the second newspaper, "City Reading Newspaper". "Youth LeaderIt premiered as a science fiction film and ushered in a breakthrough for domestic films.  According to our newspaper, a reporter from this newspaper was fortunate enough to be invited to watch the premiere of "The Butterfly Effect" yesterday.  Previously, the author had learned some news about "The Butterfly Effect" from multiple media reports.  Based on the author's impressions of domestic movies over the years, this is another movie that has been hyped up. Don't put too much hope in it, just treat it as a holiday.  " "However, the author was very wrong. In the first thirty minutes, I fell into confusion. The movie looked indeed exciting, but the author did not have enough brain power to understand what the plot was saying.  However, the turning point occurs at the 41st minute. "The Butterfly Effect" finally tells you why it is a science fiction movie. The author was even more surprised and speechless.  Is this still a domestic movie?  Or are these domestic films that can only be made on yellow land and poor mountain villages?  Are you sure it's not a Hollywood movie showing?  " "This reporter is very good at writing and is very skilled in sensationalism. I don't know how many red envelopes Wang Zhonglei stuffed to achieve this effect.  "Wan Xiaohu instinctively thought that this reporter had received a red envelope, but that didn't stop him from reading on with relish. "When the movie was halfway through, I had only one thought in my mind, I saw the dawn of Chinese movies!  It¡¯s not that we don¡¯t know how to make movies, it¡¯s just that we haven¡¯t broken out of the constraints of the past.  Today, 20-year-old director Wan Xiaohu, a post-80s director and college student director, has taken the lead in taking this step.  From the mediocre opening of "Waiting Alone" to the shocking surprise of "The Butterfly Effect", Wan Xiaohu has opened a new chapter for domestic films.  " "Feng Xiaogang has always said that he can make movies and make money from movies.  But the author wants to say something here, Feng Dapao, stop bragging in the future.  Wan Xiaohu is here, your crisis has arrived!  You can bring Chinese film business, and so can others!  Forgive me for not being able to spoil the story as a journalist, but "The Butterfly Effect" is worth watching!  After watching it again and again, I have decided to pay for the ticket!  " "The conscience of the industry!  " After reading it, Wan Xiaohu wanted to give a thumbs up and praise this reporter.
