The impact of the economic crisis in 1998 led to the looting of the economies of many Asian countries. Although Hong Kong has the support of the mainland and has saved the Hong Kong dollar from being lost, it has also damaged its vitality and countless people jumped off the building. In this economic crisis, the Hong Kong film industry, which had already moved from prosperity to declining, accelerated its ice age.

There is no food to eat without filming. At this time, a large number of Hong Kong artists turned their attention to the entertainment industry that is rising strongly in the mainland. A large number of Hong Kong artists went to Beijing to try to find a second spring in the mainland.

Celebrities such as Yuan Yongyi, Yang Ziqiong, Wu Qilong, Guan Zhilin, and Carina Lau have all begun to look for agents in the mainland to sign contracts. Wang Jinghua is the intermediary of the gold rush north. Not only star artists, but also behind-the-scenes staff have also poured into the mainland. In the near future, the entertainment industries in the mainland and Hong Kong will be integrated.

With the recommendation of Wang Jinghua, Wan Xiaohu met Guan Zhilin, who was once known as the "No. 1 Beauty in Hong Kong".

"Rosamund, this is Mr. Wang Zhonglei, the boss of Huayi Brothers, and this is the young talented director Wan Xiaohu." Wang Jinghua introduced with a smile. Rosamund is Guan Zhilin's English name.

"Hello, Miss Guan." Wan Xiaohu stretched out his hand and shook Guan Zhilin for a moment.

Guan Zhilin, 38, is well maintained. She put on light makeup and a mature woman with a charming charm hits her face. However, Wan Xiaohu can't find the shadow of Lan Xiaodie who was watching "New Crane Divine Needle" from her short hair. She was floating long hair and holding the pipa.

Speaking of Hong Kong female stars, Wan Xiaohu likes two of them the most, one is Brigitte Lin who plays the Oriental Bubai in the Swordsman, and the other is Guan Zhilin who plays Lan Xiaodie. They are both very handsome, long hair, flying around, and daring to love and hate.

I just met and couldn't find that feeling, and I was a little disappointed.

However, Wan Xiaohu concealed this disappointment very well and smiled very brightly.

Guan Zhilin greeted several people and sat down: "What drinks does Mr. Wang and Director Wan drink? I'll ask the assistant to get it?"

Wan Xiaohu waved his hand: "Just drink some boiled water, Miss Guan, Miss Hua should have told you about our purpose this time. I won't beat around the bush. I really hope that Miss Guan can star in "Butterfly Effect". What is Miss Guan dissatisfied with me? Even if I say it straight, I will see if I can convince Miss Guan."

"Director Wan is quick, please speak." Guan Zhilin smiled, "I should have already told all the reasons before."

Science fiction movies, either the starring actors, or these two.

Wan Xiaohu took out the movie script that had been prepared long ago, and did not hand it to Guan Zhilin, but held it in his hand: "I understand your concerns. Science fiction films have always been difficult to succeed in the mainland, and even in Asia, and they have no foundation for watching movies. But I think "Butterfly Effect" is different from ordinary science fiction films."

“What’s the difference?”

"It is its subject matter, unlike ordinary hard-core science fiction, including robots, aliens, and spacecraft, and there is no such thing here. There is only a long-standing theory in the scientific community, topological chain reaction, a chaotic phenomenon, also known as the butterfly effect. A butterfly in the tropical rainforest of the Amazon River Basin in South America, occasionally flapping its wings a few times, can cause a tornado in Texas, USA in two weeks. Based on this concept, the real story triggered, not surreal."

"Is this theory itself a science fiction?"

"It's different. "Butterfly Effect" is a 'soft science fiction' movie classified under science fiction. It is more about exploring the behavioral influence between people and society, and it is a science fiction that describes the inner world. In addition, "Butterfly Effect" is more like a romance film, which rewrites history back and forth to deduce the occurrence and ending of love. Isn't this another kind of romantic story? You may not know the efforts I have put in for you, but I have been looking for the happiness of two people. I think it's very romantic, right?"

Wang Zhonglei cooperated and praised: "Yes, when I first saw the script, I had a strong urge to shoot it. Science fiction is not a reason why the movie is not popular, but it still has to watch the movies exciting. Many domestic science fiction films do not even have scientific theories, and they are just nonsense and do not have special effects. No one will watch it. "Butterfly Effect" has a theoretical basis. Even if ordinary people don't understand this theory, they can understand that changing some things in the past through the plot, which will affect the present. This is a good foundation for watching movies."

"Brother Lei said it well. I am confident that this movie can be made into a classic movie in science fiction movies. If it is more exaggerated, it is not impossible to leave a famous film history. As for the issue of starring, I really like watching movies played by Miss Guan, especially Lan Xiaodie back then, which left a deep impression on me."

Wan Xiaohu continued: "However, because of the setting of the script, the male and female protagonists have to look a little immature. Especially the heroine, whose fate is bumpy, she also has to play a prostitute. I think this does not fit the image of Miss Guan. The male protagonist's mother has a great role in the plot and has a promotion effect. She is one of the leading actors."

Is Su Ye’s mother the protagonist? This is naturally what Wan Xiaohu says.

As the director, Wan Xiaohu has already given enough face.

The rest depends on Guan Zhilin's decision. If she agrees, Wan Xiaohu will be very happy. If she doesn't agree, Wan Xiaohu won't force it.

In the end, Guan Zhilin did not give the answer immediately, but said that he would consider how many days.

"Ms. Guan, we will start the computer on June 2nd. I hope to welcome Miss Guan before June." Wan Xiaohu stood up and said goodbye.

After contacting Guan Zhilin, Wan Xiaohu and Wang Zhonglei went to meet another big star without stopping. Chen Daoming, the biggest male star under Wang Jinghua, persuaded Chen Daoming to play Su Ye's father, but there was only a short shot. With the face of Huayi Brothers and Wang Jinghua, Chen Daoming should not refuse.

Sure enough, Chen Daoming agreed very simply, but his schedule was very full. When he went to the crew to film, he had to wait for him to coordinate before he could decide.

Wan Xiaohu naturally would not refuse to agree to this small request.

After getting Chen Daoming, it was another popular idol actor Lu Yi. Lu Yi and Chen Kun had collaborated on "Like Fog, Like Rain and Like Wind". Wan Xiaohu asked Chen Kun to contact him and soon contacted Lu Yi.

Lu Yi was interested in the science fiction theme of "Butterfly Effect" and finally agreed to play the guest role of the male lead Su Ye. The roommate B, who rescued the male lead from suicide in the third change of the past.

For several consecutive days, the crew gradually got into the game under the leadership of Urshan and Ning Hao, while Wan Xiaohu was only concerned about finding celebrities to make guest appearances. Now Wan Xiaohu is no longer a simple student director, but has made a popular movie, with its current box office heading straight to 20 million.

Although a movie cannot prove anything, it is estimated that 99:9 out of the 100 people in China do not know Wan Xiaohu, but in the entertainment industry, there are not many people who do not know Wan Xiaohu.

This is a new director and worth investing in.

Of course, the celebrities must give some face to Wan Xiaohu’s invitation, especially the stars who have become famous in Beijing Film Academy.

Among the four young actresses, Zhao Wei and Xu Jinglei have already replied to Wan Xiaohu and will make guest appearances in "Butterfly Effect". Jiang Wu, who won the Best Actor of this year's College Film Festival for his excellent performance in "Take a Bath", also agreed to guest appearances. Hong Kong actress Yuan Yongyi and Wang Jinghua's general Hu Jun also agreed to them one by one.

Chen Daoming, Lu Yi, Zhao Wei, Xu Jinglei, Jiang Wu, Yuan Yongyi, Hu Jun, plus Guan Zhilin who is likely to star in, and starring Zhou Xun and Chen Kun, the stars of "Butterfly Effect" are absolutely brilliant!

Wan Xiaohu can't wait to do a big fight!
