rising director

Wan Xiaohu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "There are two types of directors. One is a professional director who strictly follows the script, and the other is a personality director. Make the movie you want, which one do you belong to?"

"Anything like that?"

"That's my own take on, you know, I've directed 10 commercial films. 1 documentary and 1 animated series. And the films I've had executive and producer titles on, the list goes on and on, I've seen a lot The director’s shooting method. Some people are professional directors, and they will complete the directing plan of the script excellently, but they don’t have their own personality. Some people are not qualified directors, and they always try to stuff some things into the movie. It doesn’t follow the routine. It’s either a classic or it’s rubbish.”

"What type of director do you belong to, director?" Natalie asked back.

"I belong to the first type for the time being, because so far, I have been doing commercial film projects. Commercial films are assembly line products, which are not suitable for adding personality. What about you, which one do you want?"

"Well, I want to be a director with personality. Make some special movies."

"Then there's not much I can teach you."

"I don't think so. I've seen all the movies you've made, and the newspapers outside say you're a talented director. I think so too. Although many movies have heavy traces of commercialization, none of them are Empty product. Especially "Infernal Affairs", I think it is better than "The Departed" directed by Martin Scorsese."

"Oh. Is that what you think?" Wan Xiaohu cheered up.

"Yes, "The Departed" is rougher and more direct, and many plots directly use "Infernal Affairs". But when it comes to the connotation, especially the portrayal of human nature, it is obviously superficial and uses foul language It’s too deliberate to increase the description of the character’s heart. "Infernal Affairs" is introverted. I have worked with director Wong Kar-wai. I think the biggest difference between Asian directors and Western directors is that the West is direct, while the Asian is euphemistic. As far as I'm concerned, I prefer the tactful way."

What Natalie said was straightforward, and it seemed that she had really put in a lot of effort.As for her cooperation with Wong Kar-wai, "Blueberry Night" premiered in Cannes in May this year. This is Wong Kar-wai's first English-language film, but obviously, it was not successful. Good sales.

It is very pleasant for the two of them to take advantage of the gap time to chat and talk with a woman with knowledge and high IQ.Natalie is undoubtedly that, and she can always give just the right amount of compliments, neither showing her airs nor being too flattering.

It wasn't until the assistant director came over and told Wan Xiaohu that everything was ready, that the two of them stopped talking.

The special effects team of Weta Digital is also assisting the filming crew of "Avatar" and making the final improvement of expression and motion capture technology, so what is being filmed now is a plot without chimpanzees.

In this part, apart from refining my acting skills, I don't have any special arrangements, so I don't rush every day.

Making movies for [-]th Century Fox, not for himself, Wan Xiaohu also knows how to be lazy.

Therefore, whenever he was free, he chatted with Natalie.Wan Xiaohu's IQ is not outstanding, but his knowledge and experience in two lifetimes, as well as his seven years as a director and boss, still make him appear confident and charming when talking about the world.

As a smart woman, Natalie is more willing to chat with people like Wan Xiaohu.

Within a few days, the two became good friends.

At the same time, Natalie also told Wan Xiaohu that she is preparing a collection of short film stories named "New York, I Love You", and plans to invite twelve directors to shoot twelve short films with similar styles.It tells the story of the hero and heroine meeting in the romantic and poetic New York, experiencing New York from different perspectives, and telling a common topic of mankind-love.

She solemnly invited Wan Xiaohu to participate in the filming of one of them.

Wan Xiaohu agreed without much hesitation.

This should be fun.

"New York, I Love You" is actually the second in a collection of short urban films from producer Emmanuelle Bemby, following "Paris, I Love You" and the planned third "Magic". Du, I love you".It was he who initiated and relied on Natalie Portman to invite many stars and directors to join.

Seven of its twelve directors have been confirmed.Natalie Portman, Scarlett Johansson, Jiang, Shunji Iwai, who decided to be a maiden director first, Faith Arkin, who won the Golden Bear Award for "Going Forward", Russian director Ann, who directed "Return" Andrei Zagintsev, "Monsoon Banquet" director Mira Nair.

Counting Wan Xiaohu, it would be eight.

The directors who shoot these short films are required to abide by the following three rules: first, the shooting is completed in 24 hours; second, the production is completed in one week; third, there must be correlation between each clip.

For Wan Xiaohu, this is an original challenge.

Fortunately, he has enough time to conceive such a story.

Time flies by.

after august.Wan Xiaohu had to slow down the filming of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes".

Because, his and Su Ya's wedding date is approaching.

He began to travel frequently between the United States and other countries to prepare for this matter.

The wedding has been decided to be a wedding at sea. Most of Su Ya's relatives are from the military, and many of them are not allowed to go abroad according to regulations.For example, Su Ya's father Su Zhicheng and uncle Su Zhijun.So the so-called wedding at sea is just a stroll around the Bohai Sea.

The yacht for the wedding was Wan Xiaohu's private yacht Tiger, which is 138 meters long, which is equivalent to the length of one and a half football fields.The main hull has five floors, with a living area of ​​8000 square meters and a total of 80 guest rooms.The crew number is 96.

This yacht was manufactured by the world-famous German Leshun Shipyard. It took three years. It was originally purchased by a small king in Saudi Arabia. Before leaving the factory, the king went to order a bigger yacht. The yacht was transferred to Wan Xiaohu at a low price.It cost more than one billion.

The wedding will only invite close relatives and friends of both parties, and will not be announced to the public.

However, even if they only invited some close relatives and friends, in the end Wan Xiaohu and Su Ya still came up with a thick list.On Wan Xiaohu's side, there are an uncle and a younger uncle, and their grandparents are also alive. More than 20 people.His good friends, Li Xia, Chen Chong, Liu Yang, Ning Hao, Cheng Er, etc., plus Liu Dehua and Chen Kun, made up a dozen people.

Forget about Sasha Entertainment.The entire Golden Harvest Entertainment and Mtime.com executives also have a few people to invite.

The one with the most was Su Ya. Su Zhi made Su Ya a daughter. Although she had to handle it in a low-key manner, she still led a bunch of subordinates. Wan Xiaohu and Su Ya were embarrassed to refuse.And Su Jingxu, a playboy, also brought a group of second-generation officials and second-generation reds to join in the fun. Su Ya and Wan Xiaohu stopped him several times, but finally agreed.

The yacht is still big, and there will be more people if there are more people.

The wedding is very trivial. Fortunately, the two of them now have a big family and a big business. Assistants help arrange everything and take care of everything in an orderly manner.Wan Xiaohu and Su Ya just need to enjoy the process.

"Hey, are you tired from running?" As night fell, Su Ya was lying in Wan Xiaohu's arms on the Tiger Yacht, enjoying the sea breeze at night.

Wan Xiaohu was sitting on the beach chair, wearing only a pair of Hawaiian flower pants, drinking freshly squeezed orange juice comfortably: "If you are tired, be tired, this is only once in a lifetime, anyway, we don't need to do too much, just use your mouth." That's all."

"Yes, it's nice to have money." Su Ya giggled.

"Of course, so, you have to help me be a good family. Our future happy life depends on the support of Tiger Ruiya. We can make a lot of money and make more money. It's best to buy a space shuttle in our lifetime. It's okay." Go play in space."

"I still want to go to space, my ambition is so big, when will I decide to fly out of the solar system?"

"When the technology reaches it, I will definitely go out for a trip. I guess we will all be old by then, and leave the family property to the little ones. We will fly out of the solar system by ourselves, and let our lives freeze on the edge of the galaxy! Romantic?"

"Giggle..." Su Ya smiled and laughed, the lights on the bow of the ship shone on her face, making her very charming.

"Dear guests, ladies and gentlemen,

今天是公元2007年10月1日，农历8月21日。

The bright red lanterns were hung up, and the bright red happy characters were pasted outside the door.Today is a good day, happy gongs and drums are beating!

In this festive day where the whole country celebrates the 86th anniversary of the founding of the Kuomintang g party, in this joyous and peaceful season full of flowers.We walked on the footsteps of happiness, facing the festive sunrise, gathered on the Tiger Yacht, and welcomed the coming of the beautiful moment of life together! "

The master of ceremonies invited Yang Lan, a famous host, to stand on the prow stage that had already been set up, talking enthusiastically.

The tone of the wedding, in the preparations of Wan Xiaohu and Su Ya, was set to be a combination of local and foreign.

To keep up with the times, but also to retain the old customs.

The yacht is driving slowly on the surface of the Bohai Sea, and the slight sea breeze blows, which adds a lot of warm atmosphere to the whole Tiger, which is decorated in pink.From time to time, seabirds fly across the sky, and there are crew members beside the boat throwing bait into the sea, and a large group of fish follow behind to grab food.

On the deck of the Tiger, the red carpet paves the way, and there are fruit platters on the white tables, and the seats are full.
