Millennium director

After the filming of "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle" was completed, Wang Xiaoshuai and the editors of the crew were still busy doing post-editing work.

After all, those who make literary films are not the fast-shooting directors from Hong Kong. Although they shoot very quickly, they usually edit very slowly.

Wang Xiaoshuai plans to spend several months on the post-editing of "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle" and also plans to take the cameraman around the alleys of Beijing to shoot some scenes without actors and edit them into the movie.

Don't ask, asking means stream of consciousness, shooting techniques, and meaningful lens language!

Wu Yuan did not need to worry about these things. He himself did not lack experience in film editing, and Wang Xiaoshuai's film concept did not suit him, so Wu Yuan did not join in the fun and returned to his own life.

After filming for more than ten days, the time has come to the end of June and the beginning of July, and the school holidays are approaching.

As we all know, no matter what university you are in, the end of the semester is always a critical time, and Wu Yuan can no longer just skip classes and run away to start his own piracy business.

He was honestly taking various final exams and practical courses in school.

However, after experiencing the experience of the crew of "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle", Wu Yuan's mind was aroused.

"Hey Yuan'er, do you have any plans for this summer vacation?" A big hand patted Wu Yuan's shoulder. ơɱ

Wu Yuan's classmate Shang Binghe sat down next to him and said cheerfully: "There is a film crew over in Hengdian looking for summer jobs. Go and work for them as a camera assistant. You will be paid four thousand yuan for two months!"

"Damn it, people who make TV series are really rich now. Those actors can get three to five thousand yuan for one episode!"

Shang Binghe's face was full of jealousy.

In the eyes of students in the directing department, TV dramas are just something to kill time when you are bored. What can truly be called art is movies!

But now the TV drama industry is much stronger than the film industry.

In the 1990s, the mainland's film and television industry flourished, and Japanese dramas and TVB were introduced. The first batch of TV drama fans have been cultivated, and the mainland's TV drama market has also opened up.

Film and television groups from Hong Kong, Taiwan and even Singapore are also eager to take advantage of the mainland cake and have launched many joint venture dramas.

For example, "Journey to the East" co-produced by two local satellite TV stations and the Singapore Television Group!

Although it is a collaboration between China and Singapore, the leading actor is a big star from Taiwan, Ma Jingtao, the Roaring Emperor. Almost all the remaining roles are taken by Singaporean actors, and mainland actors can only play a supporting role.

This kind of behavior of using money from the mainland to support production teams in Singapore, Hong Kong and Taiwan is not uncommon these days!

However, the opening up of the mainland TV drama industry has indeed brought many benefits.

It not only stimulated the mainland TV drama market, but also learned the TV drama production standards of Hong Kong, Taiwan and New Zealand!

Later, Zhouyi Film and Television, which produced excellent TV series such as "A History of Martial Arts", "Love Through Time and Space", "Xiao Shiyilang" and "Shuiyue Cave", grew up by riding on this trend, and even launched a new counterattack against Hong Kong and Taiwan!

In the first few years of the 21st century, it is a big blue ocean for the mainland TV drama industry!

In 2000 alone, more than ten TV series with purely mainland teams were approved!

TV dramas filmed in Hong Kong, Taipei and Taipei have their own crews, so there is indeed no shortage of people, but the crews of mainland TV dramas are really short of people!

No, all the top students in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy have been poached to take summer jobs.

Four thousand yuan for two months, just to work as a camera assistant. This salary level is indeed high for a first-year student. The crew sells noodles under the brand "Nortel"!

Shang Binghe, who had artistic dreams in his heart, had to bend for this decent remuneration, and even wanted to recruit Wu Yuan to earn this extra money.

"Go on your own, I may have other things to do during the summer vacation." But Wu Yuan shook his head and rejected Shang Binghe's kindness.

"What?" Shang Binghe raised his eyebrows: "Are you still thinking about your pirated disc?"

"You really can't sell that thing. You can just sell it part-time when you're in school. Why can't you make more money this summer than selling pirated discs?"

"You are a student in the directing department of the Film Academy. Which crew wouldn't rush to get you if I tell you?"

Wu Yuan shook his head again and sighed: "It's not a pirated disc, please let me think about it."

To be honest, after personally experiencing the filming of "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle", Wu Yuan found that his desire to make movies was somewhat uncontrollable.

He originally had a good plan. He would hang around in school for four years, and when he was a senior, he would strive to get the top three grades in the class.

The film school has a support for directing students, that is, the top three directing undergraduate students in each session can receive a filming grant from the film school's own youth film studio.

It's equivalent to an angel investment. The school gives a sum of money to students to make a short film of 30 to 50 minutes.

This is for film festivals at home and abroad. Each major film festival has awards in the field of short films, which are specially used to support and build the reputation of young directors.

If you can win some nominations or awards in various short film festivals, you will be considered qualified, and your future will be much easier. This is the school's support for outstanding graduates.

Wu Yuan originally had a very good idea. When he graduated, he went to Europe to gain fame through short films, and then returned to China to participate in the Stud World Cup in 2002, earning hundreds of thousands. He then sought out hundreds of thousands of investments from Beijing Film Studio or China Film Studio, and grabbed a Invest around one million in the crew to start your first movie!

2002 is a very special node. This year, Lao Mouzi's "Hero" opened the blockbuster era of mainland movies and also stimulated the mainland movie market!

Driven by marketization, whether they are fifth-generation or sixth-generation directors, they are all on the same starting line. Except for Feng Xiaogang, everyone has to start from scratch to explore commercial films. There is no such thing as first come, first served!

Entering the market at this time, taking advantage of the marketization trend of the mainland film industry, Wu Yuan is confident that he will become one of the few major directors in the mainland in about five years!

All this planning was very good, but after Wu Yuan experienced the feeling of "making a movie" on the crew of "Seventeen Years Old Bicycle", he went to day school as a bastard and couldn't help laughing!

The feeling of making a movie is really wonderful. Watching Wu Yuan, who directed the movie directed by Wang Xiaoshuai, throughout the whole process, I couldn't suppress the "director's desire" in my heart!

Go to other crews to carry cameras for two months, just for the four thousand yuan?

Gan! Whoever wants to go can go!

The man wants to make a movie!

But where will the money for making the movie come from? !

It is impossible for a school to cast an angel vote for a sophomore or junior. Current students have to rely on themselves if they want to make movies!

Gritting his teeth, Wu Yuan thought of the real estate certificate placed on the bedside table in his main room!

It is impossible to sell, and it is impossible to sell a house and make a movie in this life.

But you can get a mortgage loan!

Not to mention too much, you can always get a loan of one million, right?

Starve the timid to death and starve the bold to death!

Isn’t it just about making a movie? That’s it!
