Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 34 Two-pronged approach
After Chen Hao left the studio, he went straight back to Diying to find his teacher Xie Fei.

"Chen Hao, why are you here?" Xie Fei was a little surprised when he saw Chen Hao in the office.

The current Chen Hao should still be filming, did he encounter any difficulties?

"Teacher, I've finished filming the film and finished it." Chen Hao said with a smile.

This sentence made Xie Fei a little confused, and the whole office also looked over.

"It's over so soon?"

"Isn't it a joke to make a movie in two weeks?"

"Hey, Lao Xie missed it this time!"

……

Chen Hao's script "Comet" is already well-known in the teacher circle of Beijing Film Academy, thanks to Xie Fei's help and the fact that the script is indeed quite different and excellent.

Xie Fei asked many teachers to read the script of "Comet", originally to make Chen Hao famous and let him pass the school's funding application, but he did not expect that he would solve the investment problem by himself.

In addition, the script of "Comet" is a very rare type of sci-fi thriller in China, and it has a high degree of completion, which makes Xie Fei very happy.

Not to mention Xie Fei's disciples, even the entire Beijing Film Academy has not had any good directors in recent years.

This may also have something to do with the cold environment of the film market, but it is undeniable that there have been no new directors who have made people shine in recent years.

And Chen Hao's directing skills are very solid, and he is a student that Xie Fei is more optimistic about. In Xie Fei's view, Chen Hao lacks a good script.

Now that Chen Hao has "Comet" in his hands, Xie Fei has great expectations for Chen Hao, otherwise he wouldn't be so dedicated.

It's just that I didn't expect the film to be finished so quickly. Although it is a low-cost closed-space ensemble film, it saves a lot of time compared to other film shootings.

But after all, Chen Hao is shooting a feature film for the first time, and it took only 2 weeks to complete the shooting and production, which is really too fast.

Xie Fei frowned slightly when he heard other teachers' comments, "Chen Hao, are you sure?"

Chen Hao naturally heard the teacher's doubts, but he is different from ordinary people. Not to mention Goldfinger, he has broken the box office records of domestic movies several times in his previous life, and it is not easy to shoot "Comet".

"Teacher, I'm sure, and as far as the finished film is concerned, I feel pretty good." Chen Hao said confidently without being affected.

Xie Fei stared seriously at Chen Hao's eyes for a long time, and found that his eyes were very clear without any dodging, so he felt a little bit convinced.

However, thinking that many new directors feel that the film will win an award or sell well at the box office after making their debut, they frowned again.

"This kid is so proud!"

"Young people nowadays, it's good to have ideals, but it's just reality..."

"That's the one he has never seen before. The first work is also the last work."

……

Chen Hao smiled lightly when he heard the words, and said to Xie Fei, "I know the teacher has some doubts, if it really doesn't work, let's let "Comet" premiere at the Emperor Movie!"

As soon as Chen Hao said this, the office fell silent instantly.

Hearing this, Xie Fei frowned and looked around, then said, "Come out with me."

Chen Hao smiled and followed Xie Fei out of the office.

"You, you're too impatient." Xie Fei smiled and shook his head.

"They deny me, they are denying you, teacher." Chen Hao replied, "Besides, people are not frivolous and waste youth!"

"Heh, you're still a teenager?" Xie Fei smiled.

"I'm an older boy." Chen Hao said with a smile.

"Okay, don't be poor, are you really sure about the film?" Xie Fei asked seriously.

Based on his understanding of Chen Hao, although this student is a bit more lively, he is not a person who is not in tune, so he has some confidence if he dares to say it.

At the same time, for Chen Hao, Xie Fei really has a heart to guide, he is not the most concerned about the quality of the film, his doubts are mostly about Chen Hao's attitude towards the film.

Making a film in two weeks is not in Hong Kong. It is indeed a bit of a joke in the mainland. This is not the attitude that a true filmmaker should have. He Xie Fei does not want to teach this kind of students.

As for "Comet", even if the filming of "Comet" is not exciting enough, as long as you put your heart into it, it doesn't matter if you fail. After all, there are only a few directors who have truly become famous.

What's more, Chen Hao is so young, more filming and more accumulation is the normal growth path of a long-lived director.

"Don't worry, teacher, I feel pretty good after the filming." Chen Hao nodded.

"Then it's really a premiere at Beijing Film Academy?" Xie Fei asked with a smile.

It's a success, of course it's good!Failure can be regarded as a kind of tempering.

"Of course!" Chen Hao laughed.

"Okay, I will arrange this matter, and I will notify you when the time comes." Xie Fei said.

"No problem." Chen Hao nodded, "I'm actually here today to ask the teacher if he has any advice on distribution, um, suggestions!"

Xie Fei nodded when he heard the words, "For distribution, we should find Huaying. After all, this company is the only one. If you want, I can contact you, but whether it can be successful or not depends on the quality of the film."

Chen Hao was taken aback when he heard the words, Xie Fei actually knew someone from Huaying?

Seeing this, Xie Fei smiled, "I'm not very familiar with Huaying, but I know Jiang Wen and the others, and they are more familiar with that side."

Chen Hao was stunned when he heard that, Xie Fei and Jiang Wen had collaborated in "Ben Ming Year" and won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival.

This is the benefit of the circle, coming from the three major art schools, with the support of teachers, seniors and sisters, it really has a lot more opportunities than ordinary people.

Everyone will not be stingy with a word, or a matter of affection, because they themselves are the beneficiaries of it, and it may be good for their future self.

This is also the reason why the mentorship in the circle can continue.

"Then thank you teacher." Chen Hao smiled.

"It's all trivial, don't be too happy too early, the key is to watch your movie, whether people will buy it or not," Xie Fei said.

Chen Hao nodded. He chose this "Comet" because of the investment cost constraints. This movie is indeed very exciting, but it has a big shortcoming, which is the first ten minutes.

These ten minutes contain a lot of details, but if you don't know the plot behind it, it's just a seemingly useless chat, which is very boring.

Many people even think that this is because the rookie director is inexperienced, and he doesn't have enough patience to see the excitement behind, so he directly discards the film.

Therefore, Chen Hao felt that he had to take a two-pronged approach. In addition to finding a film company to distribute, he also had to have a double insurance.

"Teacher, what do you think of my film signing up for the film festival?" Chen Hao asked.

Chen Hao's hope is to win some awards, so that he will have some capital, which will be more beneficial to the distribution.
