"Ahem, I'm old acquaintances, so I'll tell you a long story short. Although this movie is relatively simple, the scene changes very quickly, which means we have to prepare a lot of work. I hope that in the next two months, we will strive to complete the shooting in advance and everyone will go home to celebrate the New Year comfortably. As for the requirements of discipline, I won't say much. Ning Hao, please arrange your work for everyone."
After talking briefly, Wan Xiaohu stopped.
I used to start filming, but I was quite energetic and the scenes were rising. Now I really don’t have the passion that I had at that time. Of course, it’s not that I lost my enthusiasm for the director, but that I’m not very interested in such a thing that is so popular.
"How are you watching the script?" Wan Xiaohu asked when he walked to Huang Xiaoming.
Xia Yu did not sign a contract with Dandelion, and Wan Xiaohu could only say that he missed an opportunity, and then found Huang Xiaoming. Although he was with Zhao Wei and Chen Kun, Huang Xiaoming had a rough star journey. So far, he did not have much chance except to show it slightly in "Waiting Alone".
Huang Xiaoming did not hesitate to recruit dandelions and agreed immediately.
So he became the male lead in "My Savage Girlfriend".
Huang Xiaoming was so excited that he didn't sleep well for several nights, and deeply realized what it means to operate in time. He went from being a supporting role to become the sixth-generation flagship director who has been in the limelight recently and the male lead of Wan Xiaohu's new film.
This change comes too quickly.
You should know that after the success of "Waiting Alone" and "Butterfly Effect", Wan Xiaohu is no longer a newcomer, and his popularity in the industry has increased sharply. Although he cannot compare with Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, he is much more famous than the sixth-generation director. Stars who want to work with Wan Xiaohu are definitely indispensable.
"I've all the lines familiar, but I haven't memorized them yet."
"It doesn't matter, it's too short for you to get the script. Let's take a simple scene in the early stage and give you plenty of time to prepare."
After the meeting, Wan Xiaohu urged everyone to start preparing.
To copy the Korean environment described in the novel to China, many details are not easy to change. We can only try to make the plot more coherent and slightly change the background settings. To be honest, it has been changed to be able to appreciate both China and South Korea, and Wan Xiaohu is also a little unknown.
However, the popularity of movies depends on creativity and the counter-mainstream settings of weak men and barbaric women. The background can only be said to be secondary and should not have much impact.
After dinner tonight.
Wan Xiaohu is in his dormitory, browsing news online.
Today is December 2nd, and the 37th Golden Horse Awards were awarded. "Butterfly Effect" was nominated for the best original script. Because I felt that there was little hope of winning the award, Wan Xiaohu did not decide to participate, but just asked the staff of the Universal Films distributed in Taiwan to participate on their behalf.
As expected, the right time, place and people have no advantage, and "Butterfly Effect" did not win the award.
Shaking his head, Wan Xiaohu turned off the computer.
I didn't care about this award at all.
"The filming of "My Savage Girlfriend" will start tomorrow, and see what else needs to be added." Take out the script and Wan Xiaohu browsed the part to be filmed tomorrow.
Suddenly, I remembered something: "By the way, when the movie was sensational, there was also a very sensational theme song "i-believe", which seemed to be sung by Shin Seung-hoon, and I can't remember the Korean version. But I know that I sang it many times in the Chinese version. One was sung by Sun Nan and the other was Fan Yichen's version. Why not make these two versions first."
Thinking of this, Wan Xiaohu started writing the lyrics.
"i-believe When it rains at your doorstep, you will feel sad when you see it.i-believe when you don't speak, it's also a way you are actually responding to me."
"Although I never said that I believe you are understanding, even if I am not holding my hand, I am really not sad. I don't know what I am happy about, sometimes your smile would rather be regarded as you cheering for me."
"I don't know what I'm thinking about, just tell yourself i-believe you will always see me, and at some point I want you to accompany you..."
This version is sung by Fan Yichen. Wan Xiaohu still remembers the general lyrics. After all, he was also a director who specialized in filming MV for people. Basically, he knows about popular songs.
“i-believe you are still waiting there, the road to love is always full of blessings.”
"i-believe, you are still burying love deeply, I am here, wandering for you all night..."
This version is sung by Sun Nan.
When "My Savage Girlfriend" was rampant, both the Korean version, the mainland version of Sun Nan, and the Taiwan version of Tai Zhengxiao were almost sung by the streets and alleys. In addition to the reason for the popularity of the movie, the more the melody and tune of this song are very nice and well-written.
Wan Xiaohu had already thought of making three versions of the theme song first and then participating in the rankings, which would definitely create some momentum for the movie.
Following the memory, I made some supplements to the omissions. In less than ten minutes, the lyrics of both versions were written.
After writing the lyrics, the rest is composed, which hit Wan Xiaohu's weakness. He understood the six abilities of arrangement - and still had no idea.
"Hey, Zhang Yang, do you know the person who composed the music?"
"I know, what?"
"I've introduced me a few. I wrote two songs. I want to be the theme song of the movie. I only have the tune, but I can't compose the song."
"Okay, tiger, you can not only direct, but also write songs."
"Or why are you called a talented man? OK, that's it. Just keep this in mind. Have a better composer."
Putting the two lyrics into the drawer, Wan Xiaohu continued to browse the script.
No matter how many movies you have in your memory, you may have to shoot them out, and this process is unscathing.
After being reborn once, Wan Xiaohu was extremely serious about this.
...
On December 10, 2000, "My Savage Girlfriend" had already passed the running-in period of filming and began to get better.
On this day, the lobby on the third floor of Beijing International Hotel was overcrowded.
"Butterfly Effect" held a celebration banquet today, inviting guests from all over the entertainment industry to gather together.
Countless reporters rushed over, and the flash could not stop at all. Every flash meant that an entertainment star was reflected in the negative.
"Director Wan, congratulations." Zhang Yang suddenly punched Wan Xiaohu, his fist was neither light nor heavy, both congratulations and jealousy.
Wan Xiaohu laughed and endured it, hugged Zhang Yang and said, "There is a sour smell in your tone."
"How can you not be sour? How old are you? How many years have you been a director? This has become the flag bearer of the sixth generation of directors. This is ahead of us. It makes no sense. The currency is still good, and people are so angry that they are more popular!" Zhang Yang said depressedly.
"Why, "Bathing" has not been released?" Wan Xiaohu noticed Zhang Yang's depression.
"Oh, let's not talk about me anymore. Today is here to have your celebration banquet. Why do I do this bad thing? Where are Senior Lu and the others? They arrived earlier?"
"It's here, in the private room, you go by yourself, I won't send you there."
"You are busy with yours. No matter how old I am, my hands and feet are flexible, and my eyes recognize the way."
Just after seeing Zhang Yang off here, Feng Xiaogang and his wife Xu Fan walked straight over there.
"Teacher Feng, Teacher Xu." Wan Xiaohu immediately welcomed the past. Five generations of directors, Wan Xiaohu was basically called a teacher, because many of the Beijing Film Academy students who were at the same time as the Five Generation Directors stayed at school and became lecturers and teaching assistants at Beijing Film Academy, a gap of more than 20 years, an entire generation.
Feng Xiaogang smiled and said hello: "Xiaohu, congratulations."
Xu Fan also smiled and said, "You are better than Feng Xiaogang, and the "Butterfly Effect" was really good."
Feng Xiaogang quit: "If you want to praise Xiaohu, you don't have to belittle your husband."
Xu Fan frowned: "What's wrong with me belittle you? No."
When my wife got angry, Feng Xiaogang immediately turned off the engine: "It's OK, I just suggest it."
Wan Xiaohu laughed: "I'm lucky, I can't compare to Teacher Feng's first place in the New Year holiday every year."
"I am the only one who is the only one who is more flexible than some old guys who are not old and are criticized for being vulgar every day. You seem to be very fierce recently, and you haven't seen you make a noise, so it's too hard."
"I have little experience and don't want to quarrel. I've been busy preparing and shooting new movies recently, and I don't have much energy to care about what they scold me. Anyway, I'll shoot mine. The market can test who is going to be formal and who will become history." Wan Xiaohu said nothing. In the past, "Butterfly Effect" has been stirring up trouble in the film market. Of course, there are only a lot of praises.
"This is a legitimate statement. I said earlier that the temple built by Chinese filmmakers is too small to accommodate people. Look, you are also from a famous family and a student of Beijing Film Academy. After all, they are also their direct descendants. Once you become famous and profitable, they will immediately turn against each other, as if you touched their coffin, which is extremely boring."
Xu Fan reminded on the side: "Okay, don't be polite all day long, the reporter is still wandering around. Let's go and go to the private room."
Before Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan moved, a reporter shouted loudly: "Director Feng, Director Wan, Xu Fan, help me, let's make a fool of myself?"
Wan Xiaohu stood with Feng Xiaogang and Xu Fan, smiling.
Click, click, click.
The reporter didn't feel sorry for the film and pressed the shutter for fear of death.
In a while, all the guests were coming.
The main creators of "Butterfly Effect" who got rid of social engagements from every corner, Wang Zhonglei, Wan Xiaohu, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, and Guan Zhilin, gathered together.
"How are you doing recently?" Wan Xiaohu approached Zhou Xun and asked,
Zhou Xun smiled and said, "Fortunately, it was a very hard time to run publicity a while ago. I have done several activities and endorsements recently, and the work is very easy. What about you, "My Savage Girlfriend" is starting quietly."
"It's not time to hurry, so I don't plan to start publicity now. And after the filming, it's going to be the New Year. After the New Year, no matter how good the publicity is, I guess everyone has forgotten it. Let's wait for the New Year to promote it."
"fine."
"By the way, are you interested in making a guest appearance?"
"What are you acting?" Zhou Xun became interested.
"How about playing a blind date girl? The male protagonist and the female protagonist in the script were frustrated and had not seen each other for several years. Then, the male protagonist went on a blind date and met a blind date girl who was very good at drinking beer."
"Do you want beer?"
"No, just install it."
"This can be a try."
Wang Zhonglei patted Wan Xiaohu on the shoulder: "Are you starting to play a guest star again? The reporters are watching, and go on stage to say a few words."
“Ok.”
Chapter completed!
