The director is a storyteller. For the same story, a qualified director can tell it in a colorful and fascinating way, while an unqualified director can only tell it dryly. But for the current Chinese film industry, there are not many directors who can tell stories, regardless of whether they are qualified or not. ¡°Many directors don¡¯t pay attention to the script at all. They only think about hiring celebrities, spreading scandals, and hyping up the drama to attract attention. As soon as the crew starts filming, lace is everywhere. In addition, as the market continues to grow, a large amount of hot money pours into the film industry, pursuing short-term and quick profits. In this environment, impetuousness in the entire film industry is inevitable. Movies are art. If you can¡¯t calm down, how can you make a good movie? The auditorium was very quiet. Only Wan Xiaohu was talking unhurriedly about the story he wanted to tell these students. "There are many components of a movie. Teachers must have taught you how to tell a story. In the more than ten years I have been directing movies, telling a good story has always been my pursuit. Ever since I made " "Waiting Alone" starts, I always like to finish the script first. " "In the past ten years, I have made thirteen movies and they have been released, and each one has achieved the expected results, whether it is box office or reputation. I don¡¯t know how to summarize secrets, but I know one thing. The director should try his best to tell the story well and take care of the details that ordinary people can¡¯t take care of!¡± ¡°What are details?¡± Wan Xiaohu glanced around and asked himself. , "The details are that you have to invest your emotions and tell the story with your heart." "When I was very young, my parents worked in the textile factory in the town. In the big yard of the textile factory, there was a very old pine tree. About me When I was eight years old, a nest of gray magpies was built in the tree. There were many children in our compound at that time, and they all wanted to dig out the eggs. " "But there was one in the textile factory. The old man guarding the gate kept stopping us from climbing the tree to retrieve bird eggs. The old man had good reasons. One was that the gray magpies were eating insects, and the other was that the pine trees were very straight and dangerous to climb. To convince us, one day we, the children, got together and went to climb a tree and dig out a bird's nest while the old man was taking a nap. "This is a very ordinary story, and Wan Xiaohu also told it very calmly. There was no passion at all as expected in the speech, but a touch of sadness: "I won't tell you how to climb the tree. The result is that we overestimated our abilities, and the branch holding the bird's nest broke, and the person fell. The bird's eggs were all broken. Fortunately, I was the one watching the wind." Someone laughed from the bottom. Wan Xiaohu didn't pay attention, but asked with a smile: "What do you think of this story?" No one answered at first, but after more than ten seconds, someone whispered: "It's shocking." Then all kinds of flattery Like the tide. "Thought-provoking." "So touching, so affectionate!" "I was so moved that I almost cried." After a brief burst of laughter, someone finally told the truth: "Um. I don't seem to understand the connotation." Wan Xiaohu waved. He raised his hand and smiled: "This is a very humble story. The reason why I talk about it is because it touched me a lot. Originally, a bird's nest only contained a few eggs. It was broken, but no one cared. Until the afternoon of the next day, when I returned to the compound, I found two gray magpies, chirping non-stop on the pine tree, and flying around the pine tree from time to time. This situation lasted for three days. "So. I realized something I had never understood before, that is, birds also have feelings. It is not a toy for us to play with, nor is it a ranking explanation like the one in the book. It is a life. After that, I no longer went up trees to dig out bird eggs, nor did I bully the neighbor¡¯s pug, nor did I throw the tabby cat upstairs into the pool. ¡°I began to try to experience the world again. This world is far away. It¡¯s greater than we imagined. I learned to revere life and see everything with emotion. After I decided to become a director, I started to bring this awe into my scripts. By this point, you should be almost there. Understand, I said before what the most important detail of the story is. " "The detail is that even if it is just a bird that has nothing to do with you, it still has its own life. You can't just ignore it because it's not important. Turned into a symbol. We see that in many domestic movies now, the images of villains and heroes are too stereotyped, and the supporting characters have only one appearance. The whole story is also divided independently. Stories are told for the sake of telling stories. " "You have to know, stories. It is not independent. The story is taken from a period of time in your life. During this period of time, it is not only you who are acting out the story, but others are also acting out the story. The fusion of these stories creates a wonderful drama. But oneIt is impossible for the shadow to tell all the stories. At this time, the secondary stories turn into all aspects of details. " "Details determine success or failure. How to choose the right degree for details is the key to measuring whether a director is qualified or not. Remember, movies are the bridge between the director and the audience. The details the audience needs are the details you need. Don¡¯t always think, I want to make my own movie. There is no director in the world who makes his own movies, there are only movies that the audience needs. " At this moment, Wan Xiaohu's mind was running fast, and he wanted to pour out all the insights he had gained from making movies for more than ten years. "A small manpower, but a united will." What Chinese movies need is not one or two famous international directors. It is a group of directors who can carry their own market. Wan Xiaohu does not hope that every time others talk about Chinese movies, there will be no one worthy of praise except Wan Xiaohu. He does not know what he is talking about. , there are a few students who can listen, and they just do it according to their own ideas. If someone listens and learns, then it is that person¡¯s gain, and it is also Wan Xiaohu¡¯s gain. If he does not listen and does not learn any knowledge, then There was no loss to Wan Xiaohu, it was just a waste of saliva. Wan Xiaohu¡¯s speech was fragmented, but every sentence was based on experience. The most important thing, whether it is art or technology, is to accumulate enough quantity to cause qualitative change. " "I think movies are movies. Games are games. The narrative and story-telling methods of the two media are different, and their most basic aspects are also different. Don't treat movies like games. Movies only need you to tell a good story. " "I want to be a director. You should remember three points. " "Curiosity, this is the most important thing you have. " "Imagination, this is the most important power you have in creating reality. " "Respect for the team, this is a more important law than other laws in the world. ¡± ¡ Wan Xiaohu¡¯s speech appeared on the headlines of major media the next day. Some students recorded the entire speech on their mobile phones. Naturally, it aroused heated discussions. Many filmmakers and experts , artists expressed their opinions on Wan Xiaohu's speech. Many praised it, and many despised it. But what cannot be changed is that many students who aspire to be directors watched this speech over and over again. . Then he began to think about his own path as a director, his pursuit of ideals, and his understanding of reality! After the speech, Wan Xiaohu immediately tore off his noble mask and found many new recruits accompanied by Li Xia and other friends. We ate, drank and sang with famous female stars, such as Yang Ying, Liu Shishi, Zhen Shuang and others. After a few days of happiness, we flew to Hollywood to continue working on our two films. Filming. The storyboard of "Frozen" has been finalized, and all that's left is the coloring and lighting. The filming of "Gravity" continues in a hurry. Not long after "Space" became popular, the animated film "Despicable Me" produced by Abao Animation was released, continuing Abao Animation's high-quality strategy. "Despicable Me" had an excellent reputation and was a box office hit in North America, eventually earning 252 million. U.S. dollars. The global box office was 543 million U.S. dollars. Then, "Dance My Life 3" produced by Sasha Entertainment was released, with 42.4 million U.S. dollars in North America and 159 million U.S. dollars globally. Then, another film produced by Sasha Entertainment. The movie "Red Flame Battlefield" is released. This movie is not adapted from Marvel Comics, but adapted from DC Comics.

Therefore, based on the principle of not wasting money, we tried to reduce the cost. The result was quite surprising, with US$90.4 million in North America and US$199 million globally. By Halloween in November, "Chainsaw" was filmed in 3D format. "Saw 8" was released, with US$64.5 million in North America and US$187 million worldwide. Not to mention, "Saw 9" will continue to play Halloween again next year. So far, the year 2010 has come to an end, and Sasha Entertainment's success remains. Wan Xiaohu's success remains the same: "Inception" has a North American revenue of 302 million U.S. dollars, second only to "Toy Story 3" with 415 million U.S. dollars, "Alice in Wonderland" with 334 million U.S. dollars, and "Iron Man 2" with 312 million U.S. dollars.
