Directors are storytellers. For the same story, a qualified director can tell a sensational story, while an unqualified director can only say it dryly. But for the current Chinese film industry, not to mention whether it is qualified or not, there are not many directors who can tell stories.

Many directors don’t focus on the script at all, just thinking about inviting celebrities, spreading scandals, and hype attracts attention. As soon as the crew starts filming, they immediately flew around. In addition, the market is growing, and a large number of hot money pours into the film industry, pursuing short-term interests of short-term interests. In this environment, the impetuousness of 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, and only Wan Xiaohu was talking without any haste. The stories he wanted to tell and the stories of these students.

"There are many components of a movie. The teachers must have taught you how to tell a story. In the past decade of directing a movie, telling a good story has always been my pursuit. Since I filmed "Waiting Alone", I always like to make the script well first."

"I have made thirteen movies in the past ten years and have been released. Each of them has achieved the expected results, whether it is box office or reputation. I don't know what you want me to summarize the 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 cannot take care of!"

"What are details?" Wan Xiaohu glanced around and asked and answered himself, "Details are you need to devote your feelings and tell the story with your heart."

"When I was very young, my parents worked in a textile factory in the town. There was a very old pine tree in the large yard of the textile factory. When I was about eight years old, a bird nest was built on the tree. There were a nest of gray magpies living inside. At that time, there were many children in our courtyard, and they all thought about taking out the bird eggs."

"But there is an old man who is watching the gate in the textile factory who keeps stopping us from climbing trees and not letting us dig bird eggs. The old man has very good reasons. One is that gray magpies eat insects and the other is that it is dangerous to get up straight. But this failed to convince us. One day, a few of us children gathered together and took advantage of the old man's nap and went to climb trees and dig bird nests to dig bird nests."

This is a very plain story, and Wan Xiaohu also said it very calmly. There was no passion that should have in the speech, but instead a hint of sadness: "I won't talk about the process of climbing trees. The result is that we overestimated our ability. The branches that supported the bird's nest broke and fell down. The bird's eggs were also broken. Fortunately, I am the one who looked at the wind."

Someone laughed at the bottom.

Wan Xiaohu didn't care, but asked with a smile: "What do you think of this story?"

No one answered at the beginning, but after more than ten seconds, someone whispered: "It's deafening."

Then all kinds of flattery were like a tide.

“Thought-provoking.”

“Too touching, too affectionate!”

"I was so moved that I was about to cry."

After a brief laugh, someone finally told the truth: "Uh. I don't seem to understand the meaning."

Wan Xiaohu waved his hand and smiled: "This is a very inferior story. The reason I talk about it is because it has brought me a lot of touch. Originally, a few eggs in a bird's nest will break if it breaks, and no one cares. Until the next afternoon after school, I returned to the courtyard and found two gray magpies, chirping on the pine trees and flying around the pine trees from time to time. This situation lasted for three days."

"So I realized the truth I had never understood before, that is, the bird also has feelings. It is not a toy for us to play with, nor is it the ranking explanation mentioned in the book, such as the benefit of birds and harm birds. It is a life. From then on, I no longer climb trees to dig up bird eggs, nor do I bully the neighbor's pugs, and I will not throw the cat cats upstairs into the pool."

"I began to try to feel this world again. This world is much greater than we imagined. I learned to respect life and see everything with emotion. After I decided to be a director, I began to bring this awe into my script. Speaking of this, you should almost understand what the most important details of the story I told before."

"The details are that even if it is just a bird that has nothing to do with you, it has its own life. You cannot just imitate it into a symbol just because it is not important. We see that many domestic movies now have too typographical images of villains and decency, and the supporting characters have only one face. The whole story is also divided independently, telling stories for the sake of telling stories."

"You must know that stories are not independent. They are intercepted from a period of time that happened in your life. During this period, not only are you performing stories, but others are also performing stories. These stories are combined to make a wonderful play. But a movie cannot tell all the stories. At this time, the secondary stories are turned into details in all aspects."

"Details determine success or failure. How to choose a degree for details is the key to measuring whether a director is qualified. Remember, movies are the bridge between directors and audiences, and the details that audiences need are the details you need. Don't always think that I want to make my own movies. There are no directors' own movies in the world, and some are movies that audiences need."

At this moment, Wan Xiaohu's mind was running quickly, and he wanted to express all the insights of making movies for more than ten years.

One manpower is small, and one unites.

What Chinese films need is not one or two famous international directors, but a group of directors who can carry their own market. Wan Xiaohu doesn't want it. Every time others talk about Chinese movies, there are no people worthy of praise except him, Wan Xiaohu.

He didn't know how many students could listen to this talk. He just did it according to his own ideas. Someone listened to it and learned it. That was the person's gain and Wan Xiaohu's gain. If he didn't listen to it and learned any knowledge, then there would be no loss to Wan Xiaohu, at most he would just waste a pool of saliva.

Time passes by little by little.

Wan Xiaohu's speech was scattered, and he was talking nonsense, but each sentence was a talk of experience.

"Learning is the most important thing. Whether it is art or technology, it is accumulating enough quantity to cause qualitative change."

"I think movies are movies. Games are games. The narratives of the two media, and the way of telling stories is different, and the most basic aspects are also different. Don't treat movies as games. Movies, you just need to tell good stories."

"If you want to be a director, you have to remember three points."

"Curiosity, this is the most important thing you have."

"Imagination, this is the most important force in creating reality."

"Respect for the team is a more important law than other laws in the world."

...

Wan Xiaohu's speech appeared in the headlines of major media the next day, and some students recorded the entire speech on their mobile phones.

Naturally, it caused another hot discussion. Many filmmakers, experts, and artists expressed their opinions on Wan Xiaohu's speech. Many praises and contempts them, but what cannot be changed is that many students who are ambitious to be directors watch this speech over and over again.

Then start thinking about your own directorial journey, pursuit of ideals, and understanding of reality!

After the speech, Wan Xiaohu immediately tore off the noble mask in disguise. With the company of Li Xia and other friends, he found many new female stars, such as Yang Ying, Liu Shishi, Yang Choujiao, Zhenshuang and others. He had dinner, drink and sang together. He left his contact information and waited to find opportunities in the future.

After a few days of so happy, I flew to Hollywood and continued to shoot two of my own movies.

The story version of "Frozen" has been decided, and the rest is water grinding and coloring and matching.

"Gravity" continues to film Sandra Brock.

Time flies.

Shortly after "Inception" became popular, the cartoon "Despicable" produced by Abao Animation was released, continuing Abao Animation's finest strategy. "Despicable" has an outstanding reputation and a big box office. It finally earned US$252 million in North America and a super box office of US$543 million worldwide.

Then Sasha Entertainment's "Dance from My Life 3" was released, with a net worth of US$42.4 million in North America and a net worth of US$159 million worldwide, making a small profit.

Then, another movie produced by Sasha Entertainment, "Red Flame Battlefield" was released.

This movie is a movie adapted from comics. It is not adapted from Marvel Comics, but from DC Comics. After Sasha Entertainment acquired Tingfeng Entertainment, it found that the film library actually had the right to adapt the DC Comics. So based on the principle of not wasting, it tried it at a lower cost.

The result is still a surprise, with a US$90.4 million in North America and a US$199 million in the world.

On Halloween in November, "Saw 8", which was filmed in 3D format, will be released, with a total of 64.5 million US dollars in North America and a total of 187 million US dollars worldwide. If you don't say that, "Saw 9" will continue and will fight for Halloween again next year.

At this point, 2010 came to an end.

This year, the entertainment scenery of Sasha is still there, and the scenery of Wan Xiaohu is still there.

"Inception" scored 302 million US dollars in North America, second only to "Toy Story 3" with US$415 million, "Alice in Wonderland" with US$334 million, and "Iron Man 2" with US$312 million, ranking fourth. Mainland China scored 855.75 million yuan. Unfortunately, "Avatar", released at the end of last year, was included in this year due to its calendar relationship, and "Inception" could only be second.

In the global box office list, "Inception" became the most popular movie in Sasha Entertainment with US$901 million, second only to "Toy Story 3" with US$1.063 billion, and ranked third in the world after US$1.024 billion in "Alice in Wonderland".

This year, the battle between major Hollywood film companies also came to an end.

North America, which has the highest account share coefficient, shall prevail.

At the end of the box office list, the twelfth place CBS-Films has an annual box office of $72.2 million. The eleventh place Focus Company has an annual box office of $74.7 million. The 10th place Overture-Films has an annual box office of $81.8 million. The 9th place Fox Searchlight has an annual box office of $140 million.

The fifth place is Disney, with an annual box office of $1.4083 billion.
