We joked and drank beers, and soon we started talking about movies. "Xiaohu, please give me a reference. The film market is generally very sluggish recently. The film industry is in a slump, and many behind-the-scenes staff are not working. I don't think we can stop making movies just because the film industry is sluggish. And now only blockbusters can survive. "Many new directors don't have any opportunities. No matter how talented they are, if they don't have the opportunity in two or three years, they still have to change careers." Liu Dehua said solemnly. "What do you mean, Andy?" Wan Xiaohu put down his beer glass. "I plan to make a plan to support new directors. I will try to take on a few movies, contribute my salary, and invest in some new directors to shoot Chinese high-definition movies. If there are more movies, it will also give everyone some opportunities to start working and make money. But you You also know that I have poor vision and I always fail when investing in movies. Xiaohu, you are the number one commercial director. Please give me some advice." Zeng Zhiwei also interjected: "Yes, Xiaohu, you are an expert, Andy. If he wants to do something, you can help him. I also want to get involved, but as you know, I can¡¯t save money in my pocket, so I can only wave the flag to cheer.¡± Wan Xiaohu blinked. blink. Liu Dehua¡¯s plan should be the ¡°Asian Rising Star Guide Plan¡± of the previous trajectory. Liu Dehua has always had a strong interest in investing in movies. In the 1990s, he established Tianmu Film Company, but he did not make much money, and later he was half-dead. In 2002, after the release of "Infernal Affairs", Andy Lau's career reached its peak. I was busy working on both records and movies, and made a lot of money. Based on the Tianmu of that year, Yingyi Entertainment Company was founded to continue the wish of the year and invest in movies. This year's "A World Without Thieves" directed by Feng Xiaogang has investment from Yingyi Entertainment. ?Subsequently, Yingyi Entertainment launched the Asian Rising Star Director Program. Andy Lau announced an increase in his remuneration, and then used the remuneration from his three films, totaling 12.5 million Hong Kong dollars, as financial support, which was later increased to 25 million Hong Kong dollars to support 7 young directors from Singapore, Malaysia, and mainland China in filming 6 A Chinese-language high-definition movie. "Crazy Stone" by Ning Hao. It is part of the Asia Rising Star Director Program. It is not only a business expansion for Yingyi Entertainment, but also a real support for new directors. It is a successful plan that has won both reputation and box office. But this time, Andy Lau will probably be disappointed. "Crazy Stone" has already been filmed. It will be very difficult to invest in such a good movie. "Hua Zai, your plan is good, why don't we make this plan together." Wan Xiaohu thought for a while. "To be honest, I am very rich now. The money on the company's books has to be deposited in the bank to earn interest, and there is no place to spend it. It is necessary to support new directors of Chinese films." "Xiaohu, you should do it too. This plan? " "Yeah, it feels like China's movies are really in danger now. The market is sluggish, and everyone is reducing production in the mainland, and Hong Kong is also reducing production. And there are only a few big productions in the mainland to support it. , the rest were all filmed just to get some state subsidies. If this continues, it is very regrettable. "In fact, without Andy Lau's suggestion, Wan Xiaohu would have to be a support plan for new directors sooner or later. ??The Chinese concept of being good at learning and becoming an official has reached a certain height. Naturally, he will not be satisfied with just being a great director. Either he returns home in fine clothes and shows off everywhere, or he "does good and helps the world" and regards himself as a savior to benefit the people. Wan Xiaohu also wants to try what it's like to be a godfather in the Chinese film industry. "Hua Zai, since we support Chinese-language films, let's make it bigger!" "How to make it bigger?" "It's very simple. I will take the lead in the mainland, and you will take the lead in Hong Kong. We will recruit a group of film companies and celebrities. We will To build a big brand, we call it the Chinese New Star Director Project, investing 350 million to support 100 Chinese high-definition films, regardless of mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, or Singapore, as long as they are new Chinese directors and they want to make movies that are Chinese-speaking. If you want to make a Chinese-language film, you can apply to join the Chinese-language Rising Star Director Program and let us invest in his films!" "Three hundred and fifty million? One hundred films?" Liu Dehua was shocked. His original intention was to spend more than 10 million yuan in salary to invest in seven or eight movies, but Wan Xiaohu suddenly spent 3.5 billion to invest in 100 movies. The gap should not be too big. Wan Xiaohu smiled: "It doesn't mean that it will be completed in one year. It can be regarded as the first phase. It will be completed within five years, which is twenty films in one year. Every year, so many directing students graduate and some change careers. As a behind-the-scenes worker, it shouldn¡¯t be difficult to pick out twenty people for support. It doesn¡¯t matter if you can¡¯t do it. As long as one or two directors become successful, it will be a success for Chinese-language films, isn¡¯t it? Uncle Zeng supports you.??Hua Zai, I think you'd better not come up with your shabby plan, work with Xiaohu, and make it bigger. " We didn't discuss it for long, and the matter was settled like this. " Wan Xiaohu said: "Now I have to make a movie, and the time is tight. I will inform Dandelion to take the lead first. Andy, you have a lot of contacts in the entertainment industry, so I can contact you." You have to worry more about things. When the lead work comes out, we will set up a new company. No, why don't you just contribute your Yingyi Entertainment, share the shares, and run the company together. I also went to the director circle and persuaded several famous directors to participate in the plan, serve as a producer, and work together to create it. ¡± As a Chinese filmmaker, everyone has the dream of revitalizing Chinese films. In the past, Wan Xiaohu could only live in confusion. Now that he has the ability, why not try? Hollywood movies can invade the world, why can¡¯t Chinese movies. Even because of culture Because of the differences, or the differences in ideas, it is a bit difficult to invade the West. At least we have to conquer Asia. You must know that when Hong Kong movies were at their most glorious, Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia were basically the back gardens of Hong Kong movies, and only Hollywood came. Because of being KO'd by Hong Kong films, Hong Kong films are now declining year by year. The scene of the struggle between MP and Shaw Brothers for hegemony has disappeared. The battle between the old and new hegemons between Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest has ended, and the three giants of Xinyi City have also disbanded early. Now, there are not many good Hong Kong films participating in the Academy Awards. Not to mention Taiwanese films, which have long been dead. Although there are fifth and sixth generation directors, the commercialization of mainland films started late. But this is not the fundamental reason for the decline of Chinese-language movies. Wan Xiaohu doesn¡¯t know why it is getting worse day by day, but he knows that as long as everyone works together to make movies and support them. The time for new directors to rise is just around the corner. The Chinese New Star Director Program is an attempt to help the previous generation lead the way for the next generation to surpass the past. It¡¯s unrealistic, but it¡¯s much easier to stand on the shoulders of giants. ¡°Drink, Xiaohu. "The plan was finalized, and the rest of the time was spent chatting and reminiscing. We chatted until midnight before we dispersed. The next day, Wan Xiaohu returned to the crew. And the Chinese star director plan was also being intensively prepared in private. May On the 13th, Shanda Network went public on the Nasdaq GEM. During this period, Chinese concept stocks encountered a cold wave, but it could not stop Shanda's rise. After the first round of financing, Chen Tianqiao immediately began to prepare for the second round of financing. He had already planned Acquire ten companies in North America, Japan, South Korea and China within half a year to increase investor confidence and let them pay. Wan Xiaohu will not interfere, he will just wait and count the money. On the 15th, a flight from Hong Kong flew back to Beijing. Wan Xiaohu was on the plane this time to attend the awards ceremony of the 11th Beijing University Student Film Festival. Last year's "The Wind" set off a box office frenzy, exceeding 300 million. Mark. Wan Xiaohu was more reserved and went to the CCTV live broadcast hall this time at the College Student Film Festival. The Beijing College Student Film Festival will be broadcast live on Yangliu Film Channel. ¡°Director. " "Wan Dao. " "Boss Wan. " "Little tiger. " "Brother Tiger. " Arriving at the live broadcast hall, the voices of greetings never stopped. Wan Xiaohu responded one by one. Then under the guidance of the staff, he found the location of the crew of "The Wind". Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, and Sun Honglei were all there. "Director ,You're here. " Wan Xiaohu laughed: "Li Bingbing, Zhou Xun, congratulations to you, you are tied for the most popular actress among college students. " "Then we also want to congratulate you, director, for being the most popular director among college students. "Zhou Xun said with a smile. Starting from this year, the film festival will no longer have the most popular film among college students, but will be changed to the most popular director. With the popularity of "The Wind", it naturally easily won the two awards for director and actress. The other award for actor was Chen Kun, but he did not star in "The Wind", so he won the award for "Baby in Love" directed by Chen Shaohong, which was also tied. Jiang Wen also won this award for "Heroes of Heaven and Earth". Award. In addition to several actors, Ning Hao and Huang Bo are also sitting here. They are here to promote "Crazy Racing" at the film festival. There will be a lot of blockbusters at the end of this year, and "Crazy Racing" is scheduled to be released in the summer.Released on ?. Chatting and reminiscing about old times. It can¡¯t be said to be a reminiscence of old times. Sun Honglei and Huang Bo both played roles in "Wanted", and they didn¡¯t last long apart. After a while, Chen Kun also came over and participated in the chat. As the leading actor of "Wanted", he was also filming location shoots in Hong Kong, so naturally he flew over with Wan Xiaohu. After chatting for a while, the award ceremony began. The first one is to award the most popular actress among college students. Amid a round of applause, Zhou Xun and Li Bingbing walked onto the podium arm in arm. Li Bingbing wore a long white evening gown, while Zhou Xun wore a light blue backless evening gown, revealing the most beautiful side of a woman. "Sister Yu." "Xiao Meng." When they arrived at the podium, the two women began to sing and laugh together. Although it was not very successful, there was still a lot of laughter from below, and Wan Xiaohu also laughed. Seeing such a glamorous side of the two girls, and then thinking of the very smooth side of the two girls, it made people feel happy. "This time I am very grateful to the college students for awarding this award to Sister Yu and I. "The Wind" is a very excellent patriotic educational film. I can play the role of revolutionary martyrs and be recognized by everyone. This makes me very excited. I want to Thank you to many people for helping me along the wayThank you to Director Wan Xiaohu, you are the best director I have ever seen, thank you!" Zhou Xun finished speaking vigorously, then waved the trophy in his hand and stepped away with a smile. . Li Bingbing continued: "Xiaomeng has finished what I want to say. As a newcomer, I have mixed feelings about being able to play the role of Li Ningyu in "The Wind" Thank you, Director Wan Xiaohu, I think you are not only the best, but also the best." He is also the most handsome director." The camera turned to Wan Xiaohu in the audience. The mouth was crooked in smile. This is a fart, it is hard to do!
