Chapter 504 Indirectly Helping Classmate Yimou
After the "Mythology" symposium, the participating departments immediately began to take actions according to their respective tasks.

On June 6, Wang Xiaohu, accompanied by the Vice Minister of Culture and the leader of Terracotta Army Archeology, was personally escorted by Zhao Gang and others to the foot of Lishan Mountain, which is more than 1 kilometers east of Lintong District, XA City.

As soon as they got out of the car, Wang Xiaohu and others covered their noses and mouths with their clothes. The wind here was too strong and the dust was serious.

The site of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses was in full swing. The leader of the office said: "Now we are building the Museum of Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang."

Judging from the construction progress at the site, the construction should never be completed in half a year.At the moment Wang Xiaohu was a little worried: "If we shoot a movie here, will it affect the progress of the museum's construction?"

The comrade grinned and said, "It's okay. We received the notice from above half a month ago. Even if the construction progress is slowed down this time, we have to cooperate with Mr. Wang to finish the film."

Wang Xiaohu nodded. It seems that China has completely given the green light to the "Mythology" crew from top to bottom this time. This kind of treatment is not comparable to the filming of "Shaking Earth" two years ago.

Led by the leaders of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Archeology, Wang Xiaohu and others walked into the museum building under construction. As soon as he entered here, Wang Xiaohu suddenly had a feeling that his eyes could not get through.

I didn't feel anything from the outside, but when I walked into the completely covered museum, I saw rows of terracotta warriors and horses lined up neatly. The terracotta warriors and horses shocked Wang Xiaohu for a long time with their huge scale and mighty scene.

Sammo Hung, Yuan Heping, and Li Hanwei were also amazed, and the accompanying people all smiled, it seems that they have long been used to it.

"Awei, don't just be in a daze, take pictures quickly." Wang Xiaohu was the first to wake up among the four, and the first thing he did was to remind Li Hanwei, who was carrying the camera, to hurry up and take pictures. You must know that these scenes are very visually stunning. Now shoot On the one hand, it can be used for post-editing and perfection, and on the other hand, it can be taken back for the crew to study. After all, the post-production special effects part of "Mythology" also needs to be a model of the terracotta warriors.

Now the terracotta warriors and horses are listed as key cultural relics under state protection. Although Wang Xiaohu is allowed to take pictures here, it does not mean that he will be allowed to carry a few terracotta warriors and horses back as props, so he must take this opportunity to share pictures of the terracotta warriors and horses, The collection of photos and written materials is comprehensive, and the prop master can still make the model after returning to Hong Kong.

"These terracotta warriors and horses were still in color when they were first unearthed, but they changed color as they oxidized, so we only dug three pits this time, and we didn't find better protection measures for the rest, so we didn't continue to dig. "

The staff began to introduce Wang Xiaohu and others: "The No. 230 pit is displayed in front of us. The No. 62 pit is the largest, 14260 meters long from east to west, and 6000 meters wide. The total area is 1000 square meters. There are about [-] real people buried in this pit." More than [-] pottery figurines of various sizes have been cleared out.”

Wang Xiaohu looked at the terracotta warriors and horses in the pit who were clad in staunch and sharp soldiers. The majestic and unstoppable feeling surged in an instant. He felt the historical distance disappear, and a mysterious force brought him into the Shouting Shocking, Chariot The neighing ancient battlefield, excitedly said: "What a large formation of soldiers and horses of the Qin Dynasty."

With all kinds of emotions, Wang Xiaohu and others spent the whole morning watching in Pit No. [-], and Li Haiwei also followed behind the team, recording various images into the camera.

The whole morning was spent like this. Wang Xiaohu felt that although the time was a little tight, he also gained a lot. After receiving various data about the terracotta warriors from the staff, he held the staff's hand tightly and said, "Thank you Yes. With this information, our film will be more detailed."

The Northwest man grinned: "As long as it can promote the Terracotta Warriors, you can tell me anything."

In the afternoon, Wang Xiaohu and his team inspected several locations, which basically met Wang Xiaohu's requirements. After Li Hanwei filmed them, the group embarked on the journey back to BJ.

"How is it?" Zhao Gang asked with a smile.

Wang Xiaohu was taken aback for a moment, and said blankly, "How about what?"

"I mean how is our country's support for you this time?" Zhao Gang said.

Wang Xiaohu stretched out his thumb: "That's a big deal, there's nothing to say."

Zhao Gang grinned: "Of course, you know I said a lot of good things for you in the middle, and I almost broke my legs. You say you thank me!"

"Ugh! You're really cheeky." Wang Xiaohu knew that the kid was joking, but he still thought about it and said, "Otherwise, the Qin army general responsible for robbing and killing General Meng Yi has not been determined in the script, you Come on for a cameo?"

"Yo! Was it the one who chopped off your head with his own hands?" Zhao Gang asked with excitement in his eyes.

Wang Xiaohu nodded and said, "That's right, it's him. But it's not my head, it's Meng Yi's head."

"Anyway, if you play Meng Yi, your head will be chopped off in the movie." Zhao Gang curled his lips and said, "This character is good. Although he is a villain, he has no choice but to obey the orders from above. Seeing that you die For the sake of inviting me, I acted, but you have to pay me."

"Fuck you! If you want money, you will die!" Wang Xiaohu scolded with a smile.

After returning to BJ, Wang Xiaohu hurriedly organized the formation of these two days into notes, and carefully recorded the notes sent by several professors, as well as the data given by the staff of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, at the back of the script until late at night I just fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Minister Huang Zhen of the Ministry of Culture invited him again. He wanted to hear about Wang Xiaohu's investigation during this trip. Although the deputy minister had already reported in full, he still wanted to hear Wang Xiaohu's personal advice.

"Overall, this inspection is good." Wang Xiaohu said very positively: "Thanks to the party and state leaders for their love for the crew, and the comrades below are also very cooperative. Xiaohu is confident that this film will be made well."

Huang Zhen nodded after hearing this. The task assigned to him by the superior this time is very heavy, and he has just assumed the position of Minister of Culture, and he has no experience in cooperating with Hong Kong film companies. Many things have to be explored, but according to In the past few days of communication, he found that Wang Xiaohu is a very good person, at least he is very serious about his work, which made Minister Huang somewhat relieved.

The two were talking, when suddenly the phone in the office rang. After listening to the call for a while, Huang Zhen immediately frowned, and said on the phone, "You ask Jun Wu to send over that student's work."

After hanging up the phone, Huang Zhen said to Wang Xiaohu: "Mr. Wang, I will need your help to grow eyes later. BJ Film Academy recommended a special student who said that the student's photography works are very good, but his age is beyond It's a pity to give up such a student at the college's recruiting age, so that's where I was found."

"Oh?" Wang Xiaohu became interested.You must know that the BJ Film Academy in the previous life was very good in the world. Every year, foreign students from Hollywood come to Beijing Film Academy for further studies. Moreover, Beijing Film Academy has a high level of teaching and solid theoretical knowledge. Actors and directors who come out of Beijing Film Academy They are the backbone of the domestic film and television industry in the future.

It's just that the current Beijing Film Academy has just resumed enrollment after the Cultural Revolution, and is still in the enlightenment stage.

While the two were talking, someone knocked on the door of the meeting room, and a man called Junwu by Minister Huang walked in with some photographs in his arms.

"This is Hua Junwu, the secretary-general of our Ministry of Culture, and a famous cartoonist." Huang Zhen introduced the two of them: "This is Mr. Wang Xiaohu from Hong Kong Concord Film Company."

After exchanging polite greetings, Hua Junwu said: "Minister, this student's work is really good. Among all the students who took the exam, he has the best grades, but he is six years older than the Beijing Film Academy's admission requirement."

At this time, Wang Xiaohu had already looked down at these photographic works. Based on his years of experience as a director, these photographic works are not very brilliant, but it can be seen that the photographer has a very professional vision. The color matching is good, and it is rare to see such works in this year.

When Wang Xiaohu was reading these works, Hua Junwu said on the sidelines: "This student is 28 years old this year. He is a worker in a cotton spinning factory in Shaanxi. Since I signed up for the Photography Department of Beijing Film Academy, I have never seen a candidate with such a solid foundation in photography, but this student is indeed over the age standard, hey."

Minister Huang did not speak, but was waiting for Wang Xiaohu to speak. After a long time, Wang Xiaohu raised his head and said, "Yes, he has a certain professional level. If he focuses on training, he should be able to achieve good artistic achievements."

"Oh, Mr. Wang said yes, I believe in your vision." Minister Huang said with a smile: "Jun Wu, please inform the admissions office of Beijing Film Academy as soon as possible, and make sure to keep this student."

Hua Junwu sighed happily, turned around and walked outside, but was stopped by Minister Huang: "Wait a minute, bring my instructions to avoid embarrassment for the admissions office of Beijing Film Academy."

After all, Minister Huang picked up a red pencil and wrote on the draft document: "According to his excellent grades, he can be called a student or other appropriate name as a special problem, and he can be admitted for further study, and he can be reported to the leading group of the Film Academy. Notice"

After writing this, Minister Huang raised his head and asked Hua Junwu, "What's the name of that student?"

"Zhang Yimou." Hua Junwu said.

"Who?" Wang Xiaohu was shocked, "Zhang Yimou!?"

Hua Junwu nodded and said, "Yes, is it possible that Mr. Wang knows him?"

I know, I know so well!Wang Xiaohu said in his heart that Lao Mouzi is one of the representatives of the fifth generation of directors in mainland China, and has received honorary doctorates from Boston University and Yale University.His films have won awards at international film festivals many times, and he is the most influential director in China in the international film world.

Familiar movies such as "Red Sorghum", "Ju Dou", "Raise the Red Lantern", and "No One Less" were all shot by Lao Mouzi, and "Red Sorghum" is considered to be the first Chinese mainland movie to go global. new start.

The subsequent filming of "Hero" was criticized for nothing by the audience, but the domestic box office reached 2.5 million yuan, which was the first Chinese film to exceed 1.77 million yuan. "Hero" is recognized as a milestone in the era of Chinese blockbuster films, opening the curtain of commercial blockbusters and playing a vital role in promoting the development of China's film industry.

It's such a talented filmmaker who was rejected by BJ Film Academy because of his age!

Wang Xiaohu didn't even think that his words would help Zhang Yimou. He didn't know if it was fate.

"Uh, I don't know." Wang Xiaohu hurriedly said, "I just feel that his works are good, indeed, hehe."

When Minister Huang finished writing the approval note and Hua Junwu was about to leave, Wang Xiaohu suddenly said, "Comrade Hua, I wonder if I can meet this student?"

"Well, this seems unlikely, because as far as I know, Zhang Yimou himself has already worked in the Shaanxi No. [-] Cotton Mill. If Mr. Wang wants to meet him, I'm afraid I'll have to send a letter of introduction to the Film Academy to communicate with him. He can only come here if the cotton spinning factory transfers the relationship."

"Then how long is it estimated?" Wang Xiaohu asked after thinking about it.

"The film school will not start until August, maybe he can come over then, is Mr. Wang in a hurry?" Hua Junwu said with a smile: "If Mr. Wang is in a hurry to see him, you can ask Minister Huang to write another note. Get him to BJ right away."

Wang Xiaohu rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said: "Hehe, it's better not to make such a big noise, the influence is not good, the influence is not good."

Hua Junwu left with a smile on hearing this, and Minister Huang looked at Wang Xiaohu with a smile: "You seem to be very interested in this student."

Wang Xiaohu nodded without denying it and said, "Yes, from these works, I feel that Zhang Yimou is very talented in photography."

"That's a good relationship. After he comes to BJ, I'll arrange for the two of you to meet."

"If possible, I hope to let him participate in the filming of "Mythology." Wang Xiaohu said cautiously: "Let him get used to the film crew first and learn something from the film crew. Anyway, Comrade Hua also said just now, film students School doesn't start until August."

"Hehe, no problem. Isn't he just a student? Just treat him as an extra, but Mr. Wang will have to work hard to find time to pass on your valuable experience in film to the Film Academy." Huang Zhen smiled. Say.

Wang Xiaohu said: "Of course it is possible. In fact, it is not a problem for them to send freshmen to film with the crew. After all, they will learn more knowledge during the actual filming."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Wang." Minister Huang was elated.
