He is the most profitable director on the planet!" "Where there is Wan Xiaohu, there are miracles that are constantly being created!" "China is the best.  "The Oscar should give him a statuette!" "Inception" is not Wan Xiaohu's battle to become a god. He has become famous all over the world a long time ago. This time, quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Wan Xiaohu's name  , finally soared into the sky and became the brightest supernova.  Become one of the hottest directors in Hollywood.  Although everyone knows that he is the big boss behind Sasha Entertainment, there are still countless film companies coming to ask for Wan Xiaohu to direct movies.  Wan Xiaohu refused one by one. He still had work on "Gravity" and "Frozen" on hand, and his schedule couldn't be accommodated.  Besides making movies, there are many meaningful things that he needs to try.  September 7, 2010, the opening ceremony of Nortel.  Wan Xiaohu was invited to appear??, and delivered a speech in the auditorium. This was the first time since Wan Xiaohu came to Nortel for a test screening of "Wanted" in 2004, six years later, to communicate face-to-face with the students.  Back then Wan Xiaohu was a star with potential, but now Wan Xiaohu is an internationally famous director.  As soon as the opening ceremony ended, the entire auditorium was packed with students, including undergraduate students, graduate and doctoral students, and a large number of lecturers and professors.  At three o¡¯clock in the afternoon, Wan Xiaohu, accompanied by principal Zhang Huijun, walked into the auditorium.  In an instant, there was a wave of applause, which continued to vibrate in the auditorium.  Countless students and teachers were staring at the two people who walked in from the door with a hint of starstruck eyes. To be precise, they were staring at Wan Xiaohu next to Zhang Huijun.  Wan Xiaohu was dressed very formally today, with a suit and leather shoes, and his hair was combed meticulously, looking like a successful person.  He is clean-shaven and has bright eyes. Although he is not very handsome, he looks full of energy and charm.  "Classmates, let us welcome the most outstanding student in the history of Nortel, the international director Wan Xiaohu!" Zhang Huijun looked very proud of being able to invite Wan Xiaohu.  This is face.  All major universities wanted to invite Wan Xiaohu, but Zhang Huijun was the only one to invite him!  "Hello everyone." Wan Xiaohu waved his hands and smiled very reservedly, "I came to the auditorium a lot back then, whether as a student or as a director. I have been busy in the past six years, but I haven't been here for a long time.  , Seeing these new faces like you seems to see me back then, as youthful and energetic as ever. " "I'm not still young now, Director Wan. I thought I was still young.  He is handsome and has a tender face, but now he feels like he is seventy years old." Zhang Huijun laughed and sat on two sofas on the podium with Wan Xiaohu.  A few polite words.  The microphone was in Wan Xiaohu's hands, and everyone, including Zhang Huijun, fell silent, waiting for his informal speech.  Wan Xiaohu was not polite. He picked up the phone and was silent for three seconds before speaking: "After I succeeded in making movies. Many people asked me, where did you get so much courage to make movies in your sophomore year? I became famous at a young age.  , many people envy me, but what you don¡¯t know is that I regret starting to make movies so early. I hope I can finish college quietly for four years and then move forward step by step. " "The pressure of making movies is very high.  Yes, I was only 20 years old when I filmed "Waiting Alone." At that time, my family was not in a good position. As you know, doing art was very expensive. If I continued to study, my family would definitely have to borrow money, and if I got into debt, I would have to work to pay it back.  . So one day I was lying in bed thinking, how should I live my life? After four years of studying, I can find a job on the crew, save money, and then make a movie and become a director?  Can I follow this route smoothly? Will my outstanding career be lost in such a trivial life? So I took a gamble and made my first movie.  He became a hit and started his career as a director. "I said before that I regret making a movie so early. Why? Because it's very tiring when you actually direct a movie.  You will find that it is completely different from what you think. Speaking and doing are two different concepts, so I have to keep learning and be more diligent than what I learned in school. " "You have to revise the script together with the screenwriter.  You have to tell the actors about the script, you have to look at the samples with the photographer, you have to communicate with the producer about finances, and you have to assign tasks to the director team yesterday.  Think about it carefully. You still need to think about how to edit and link these hundreds of shots together while filming. "When I was most nervous when making a movie, I only slept for three hours a day!"  Mentally, it¡¯s all tiring! What¡¯s even more tiring is that you can¡¯t stop where you are. If you want to make more types of movies, you need to learn more knowledge. When I was making the movie, digital cameras were not yet popular.  , Now, 3D cameras and IMAX cameras are almost becoming mainstream. " "If you want to make a good movie, you need to involve a lot of complex scenes. For example, when I was filming "Wanted", controlling the big scenes was very important.  One of my problems was even more exaggerated when I was filming "Inception". Every shot was a huge challenge. How can people float in the room? How can there be a flood in the palace? How can there be an explosion in the street?  How to use a 3D camera on the street? How to cut out the background? How to make the actors immersive in the scene?  These are things I didn¡¯t know before. ¡°It will take a lot of energy to master them. This is what I will do next.The reason for regret is that you just put yourself on the shelf, and then you succeed. This huge sense of honor prompts you to accept higher challenges. You just keep running forward, keep learning, and there is no time to rest.  .  " "As a son, father and husband, I feel that I have not fulfilled my responsibilities in the past few years, which is a pity.  " After a pause, Wan Xiaohu stood up from the sofa, took two steps forward, and continued: "So when I came to Nortel today, I wanted to tell you after seeing you all in high spirits.  Directing is an art as well as a profession. Today you are studying at Nortel. Whether you want to become famous or make a lot of money in the future, you should think carefully about what you want to do.  " "You must correctly understand the identity of a director, including actors, screenwriters, choreographers, etc., and don't let fame and fortune blind you.  Accumulate your skills, embrace your family, and you will truly discover that art comes from life, and movies come from perception.  " "After talking so much, I finally got to the point. The theme I am here to communicate with you today is called 'finding stories from stories to tell good stories'" In the entire auditorium, there was only the voice of Wan Xiaohu talking.  echoed in everyone's ears.
