director of the millennium

Chapter 11
In the Beijing Film Academy, the students are already on summer vacation, and most of them are not in school. Some go home, and some go to the film crew.

Many teachers have also taken jobs outside, taking advantage of the two months of summer vacation to earn some extra money to support their families.

However, as the head of the director department of the Film Academy, Xie Xiaojing will not leave school.

This teacher Xie Xiaojing is very powerful. After graduating in 82, she stayed in school to teach. At the same time, she did not give up her job as a director. She taught and made movies at the same time, and both sides achieved good results.

In the same year that Wu Yuan enrolled, teacher Xie Xiaojing was promoted to the director of the director department.

This year, he also made a TV movie "The Craftsman", which was produced by CCTV Movie Channel!

If there is no accident, there will be another "Five One Project" award waiting for him to receive in the future.

And Wu Yuan is the student he admires the most and is most optimistic about among the 98 students of the directing department.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Wu Yuan to get a movie copy from the school and secretly make a pirated disc.

Of course, part of the reason is that Xie Xiaojing turned a blind eye when she saw that he had become an orphan at a young age and pitied his life experience.

But no matter what, Xie Xiaojing does like and think highly of Wu Yuan.

So Wu Yuan could talk to the head of the department relatively easily.

In the director's office.

“Mr.

"Why, are you thinking about making a movie now?" Xie Xiaojing took the script nonchalantly and didn't read it. Instead, she looked at Wu Yuan and said seriously: "Xiao Wu, you are a little anxious."

Directors like Xie Xiaojing, who were trained in colleges in the 90s and [-]s, attach great importance to their studies.

In a sense, the director department of Beijing Film Academy is the best in China, and training talents must be very strict.

Are students in school just trying to get a crew to make a movie?

This is evil!

Wu Yuan, who had long expected to be scolded, said with a playful smile: "Teacher, please read the book first. I didn't say I wanted to take the photo now. I just want you to give me some advice."

Frowning, Xie Xiaojing stared deeply at Wu Yuan, then lowered her head and read the script.

Although this kid Wu Yuan usually likes to play around and even makes pirated discs, he is indeed a top student.

The world of art always needs to be more tolerant of geniuses.

"The Night the Comet Came" has a long script and a lot of dialogue.

At first, Xie Xiaojing didn't look at it seriously and looked at it very casually.

But as he watched, his brows furrowed and his movements of turning the script slowed down.

Seeing this, Wu Yuan sat down on the sofa minding his own business.

There was silence in the entire office, only the occasional sound of the script being flipped.

More than 20 minutes later, Xie Xiaojing took off her glasses and let out a long breath.

"Parallel world? Coherence? Quantum mechanics? Schrödinger's cat?" Xie Xiaojing said a lot of physics terms in one breath.

Don’t think that those who work in the literary and art circles are a bunch of uneducated people.

It's hard to say about the actors, but the knowledge storage of a director is definitely wider than that of most ordinary people.

Xie Xiaojing saw the core story concept of this script at a glance.

Although there are no ET aliens, no Star Wars, no mecha frenzy, but this is indeed a suspenseful science fiction movie!

"Your script is a bit complicated."

Xie Xiaojing rubbed the root of her nose and sighed: "There are hundreds of contradictions and more than a dozen time and space crossovers in the film from beginning to end. Although the scene is simple, it is not easy to shoot."

"Then do you think this is a good book?" Wu Yuan stood up and asked.

"It is indeed a good book, and it is a subject that we have never photographed in China." Xie Xiaojing nodded, but hesitated: "It's just..."

Before Xie Xiaojing could say anything, Wu Yuan interrupted: "I can take the photo!"

To put myself in his shoes, if Wu Yuan were the head of the directing department and saw such a notebook handed over by a student, he wouldn’t think it would be a good film.

But Wu Yuan has the memory of the original film for reference!
And he is not an outsider. He has studied directing both in and out of his dreams. He can thoroughly study everything from shooting techniques to techniques to composition and storyboarding!
"Didn't you say you won't shoot now?" Xie Xiaojing said in surprise.

Wu Yuan rubbed his hands together, and smiled: "Hey, isn't this teacher saying that this book is fine!"

"Since the book is a good one, why not take a photo?"

"What about the money?" Xie Xiaojing frowned: "You are just a student, neither Beijing Film Studio nor the school's Qing Film Studio can give you the filming funds."

"It's okay." Wu Yuan patted his chest: "This movie has only one scene in the whole process, and the crew only needs three or five people, and 30 is enough!"

"My grandfather left me a sum of money, no more, no less, just over 30"

He has a fart of 30!
Wu Yuan did not dare to tell the teacher that he was going to mortgage his house, otherwise, no matter how good the script was, Xie Xiaojing would not agree to him taking this risk.

Xie Xiaojing disagreed, so Wu Yuan would not be able to get the bid from Beijing Film Studio on his own, and the film would not be released in the mainland!

It is so strict to want to make a movie these days.

Wang Xiaoshuai has already won awards at international film festivals, and he has to pay the film studio for the label for "17-year-old Bicycle"!

In the end, the copyright of the movie has to belong to Beijing Film Studio!
If Wu Yuan had a wild background, even if he wanted to make a movie, he would not be able to find a way out, even if he had money!

Xie Xiaojing looked at Wu Yuan silently, and seeing this kid looking at him with clear eyes, Xie Xiaojing understood in her heart.

I didn't say I want to shoot now, it's all farting!
Wu Yuan wanted to make this movie with all his heart, and he had all the money prepared.

Even if he doesn't agree, then Wu Yuan will bite the bullet and make the film. At worst, he won't consider the domestic release. Don't all those sixth-generation directors do this!
I can only say that young people are a group of masters who will never look back until they hit the wall!
But as a teacher, as the head of the director department, Xie Xiaojing would not let Wu Yuanzhen mess around like this.

"Let's do this." Xie Xiaojing sighed: "Leave the script with me for now. I'll go talk to Hou Keming and see if Qingying can give you some support."

"As for Han Sanping, I'll go and ask for you."

"Since the establishment of China Film Group, he has been thinking about it. He wants to adapt to the reform of the mainland's film market, launch a youth film project, and train a group of young directors of the new era."

"He loves to watch American commercial films and is very interested in this type of film that no one has ever made in China."

"Let me see if I can help you get some investment from China Film Academy."

Wu Yuan smiled gratefully at Xie Xiaojing and nodded his head fiercely.

And what an unexpected surprise!

He never thought that he could get financial help from the teacher, but he just expected the teacher to help solve the problem of public screening.

Don't look at the teacher's unforgiving mouth, but he is really kind to the students. This is a real teacher!
