0011 [Nortel's major event]
"Wan Xiaohu is going to make a movie!"
This is the topic that has been spread the most rapidly in the past two days on the Beijing Electric Power Campus.
For students of Beijing Film Academy, making movies is not a strange thing, especially those in the director department. Who hasn’t made several “movies”? However, the difference between this movie and that movie is too big. The videotapes that are usually taken by students are called videotapes, similar to simple audio and video shots taken at marriage, which can be handled by one person for 10,000 or 20,000 yuan.
But Wan Xiaohu made a different film. It was a real movie for commercial communication. This is a rare thing and a big thing.
The topic quickly spread from classmates to teachers' ears, and then it became known to everyone in the school.
"Okay, Beijing Electric only needs such a student who dares to think and do!" Xie Jin, director of the director department, slapped the table with a snap, and approved Wan Xiaohu's one-month vacation on the spot.
Associate Professor Wang Hongwei, who teaches literature in the Department of Directors, also recommended himself to come to the crew to serve as literary director.
"Xiaohu, the teacher has to keep an eye on you. You are the first guy I have ever seen who dared to make movies by myself at the age of twenty. I really brought you investment. Take good photos and don't embarrass Beijing Film Academy!" Bishop Wang Hongwei is very familiar with Wan Xiaohu. After all, there are only a few people in the director department, and all teachers and students are familiar with each other.
Wan Xiaohu was quite surprised. Unexpectedly, his small crew was attracted to the teacher. He smiled and said, "Professor Wang, come, I welcome you. That's it... The crew is short of money, so you can only do nothing?"
"You guys, you guys, you don't know the good people's hearts. I'm coming for that little money? I'm afraid that you won't be good at studying, so you will make the movie wrong and lose my reputation as Beijing Film Academy! If you don't say anything else, the teacher doesn't want a penny for the crew and bring your own lunch box. If there is any problem with the script, just come to find the teacher!" Wang Hongwei glared at him angrily.
As a villain judged a gentleman's ambition, Wan Xiaohu said ashamed and quickly laughed: "Professor Wang, I'm always joking with you. With you always in charge, we have more confidence!"
"Okay, okay, your eyes are running around, and you will become a charlatan at first sight. If you weren't my student, I really wanted to slap you, hurry up and shoot it early, wait for your movies at the Beijing University Student Film Festival."
"Okay, the crew has started filming, I will be reluctant to trouble you, Professor Wang."
"I'll give you one last word and take photos with your heart!"
"clear."
After coming out of the director's office, Wan Xiaohu laughed at himself. He has not adjusted his mind yet, and brought the atmosphere more than ten years later to the present. He thought that no one in the entertainment industry, whether it is teaching or educating, or filming movies and TV, has no good people. But the fact is, the Chinese art circle in 2000 was not that dark.
At this time, the commercialization of the entertainment industry had not yet begun and the artistic atmosphere was strong.
There are definitely more people who do art than rules...
Now that I have asked for leave and have funds, the crew members have started to take their place, and only the casting of the actors is left.
As a student of Beijing Film Academy, the school is still very good. Originally, Li Xia arranged to search for candidates in the school’s small auditorium, but the school directly sent a big radio.
"Students from the Performance Department, Wan Xiaohu, a student in the 98th-level director department of our school, directed his debut film "Waiting Alone" for the first time. He is under intense preparations and will hold an audition for actors in the school's small auditorium today and tomorrow. Interested participants can go directly to the auditorium to contact the crew of "Waiting Alone". I hope that the students will actively participate, combine theory with practice, and add valuable experience to their future acting career."
"Great!" Wan Xiaohu, Li Xia, Chen Chong and others sat upright on the rostrum of the small auditorium.
A large number of students came from the audience. Although Beijing Film Academy is one of the few universities in Beijing and the number of people is relatively rare, there are also two thousand people. Even if half of the people are not in the school, one thousand people will receive notifications from the broadcast, and then give half of the people who are interested, and then give half of the performance department, and one or two hundred people will have one or two hundred people.
One or two hundred people crowded in the auditorium, looking like a group of black people.
They are basically handsome men and beautiful women.
"Ahem." Wan Xiaohu coughed well, then picked up the microphone and started to speak, "I'm glad that everyone is willing to audition for the crew of "Waiting Alone". I am the director and screenwriter of this movie. Many of you should know me, a student in the 98-level director department. The thin man next to me is Li Xia from the 98-level director department, and is also the deputy director of the movie. The other is Chen Chong from the 98-level photography department, the film's photography director."
Although the crew is small, the official position cannot be small. Originally promised to be a producer for Li Xia, but after taking this position for Su Ya, Li Xia retreated and became the deputy director. Chen Chong is a photographer, called the photography director.
Although Li Xia was satisfied with his position, his introduction to Wan Xiaohu had a face full of pockmarks. "I just had two freckles. Can I call it a Mahua face?"
Wan Xiaohu ignored Li Xia's protest and continued: "All seniors and juniors have been selected to be admitted to Beijing Film Academy after thousands of choices, and their acting skills are absolutely nothing to say. However, casting a movie is not only based on its acting skills, but also needs to be consistent with the image of the characters."
"This movie has nine more important characters, which are the characters you are about to compete for. We have written the background and personality of the characters on paper... Liu Yang, please send the paper... Because there are too many people coming today, there are not many materials to prepare. Just look at it and choose the role you are preparing to compete for."
"Of course, before casting, I have a few points to tell you. First, I am a student, the crew is a small crew, with simple conditions and limited funds. During the filming, just eat and drink, regardless of salary, and after sales, you will be compensated in the form of red envelopes. Second, since it is a filming movie, it is no longer a fight between classmates. The mentality must be adjusted, each performs its duties, obey the crew's arrangements, and respect discipline. This is very important. Third, casting is fair and just. If you lose the election, I hope you don't mind. It's not that you are not outstanding enough, nor that we favor anyone, it's just that it doesn't fit the role."
"Okay, I'll say so much. The audition is about to start. Please prepare everyone."
The audition was on the rostrum, and in front of the classmates, he did not audition in a small room, and everything was fair and open. Wan Xiaohu didn't want people to gossip, but he also wanted to try whether they could let go of themselves and perform.
"I'll come first, I'll try the male lead Chen Wen." As soon as Wan Xiaohu finished speaking, someone raised his hand to the stage, "I'm Li Haiyun of 97, please give me a question."
Wan Xiaohu looked at Li Haiyun, with curly hair. She looked very handsome, but she gave people a sense of arrogantness. The first impression was that Wan Xiaohu ruled out the possibility of Li Haiyun playing Chen Wen, and her image was seriously inconsistent.
"It's like this. You can perform this scene. The person you like told you to be together, but one day you held a bouquet of flowers to give it to her, but you found that the person you like was walking around the mall with a man in his arms. Please give me the next plot."
Li Haiyun thought for less than a minute and started performing...
