rising director

In the "Gravity" studio in the suburbs of Los Angeles, Wan Xiaohu looked at the playback on the monitor and yelled out a card.

"Okay, that's all for today's scene, clean up and continue tomorrow."

Of course, November soon arrived, and the studio shooting of "Gravity" ended with the last scene of the light box. Champagne and fine wine celebrated the whole night.One day off, the next day, the crew immediately moved to Florida, USA, at the lake in Okeechobee

The movie is set, and the heroine is from Okeechobee and has always wanted to go home.In the end, the Tiangong space station crashed into a lake not far from this small city, allowing the heroine to truly "go home".

The shooting of this section is simple and simple, and the responsibility is a bit complicated. The main thing is to shoot underwater in the lake.

Since the end of November, the crew has been stationed in this lake named "Little York Lake". Sandra, under the arrangement of several assistant directors and photographers, conducted underwater training. Flying around on the lake, and occasionally took out the fishing rod to catch a few fish.

After more than a week, the water scene ended, and the last set of shots was the scene of Sandra swimming from the lake to the shore, trembling and standing up.

"Sandra, are you ready?" Wan Xiaohu asked.

Sandra soaked in the water and said tremblingly, "It's ready."

It's late autumn now, even in Florida, which has a subtropical climate, the temperature of the lake is still very cold, soaking for a long time is not good for the body.Sandra just got out of the fire cage of the light box and came to the icy lake again, deeply comprehending the feeling of ice and fire.

"Okay, the last scene. We'll wrap it up when it's over! The lake is very cold, so try to finish it all at once!" Wan Xiaohu was a little excited. After more than a year of filming, the routine shooting was finally over, after wrapping up.Only special effects and post-production are left.

The photographer held the camera, stepped on the sand by the lake, and aimed at Sandra Bullock. The scene called out, and Sandra immediately swam to the shore and lay down in the sand.Panting heavily.

Then, he stood up tremblingly, his legs trembling a little, as if he didn't adapt to the gravity of the earth.

I have to say that Sandra's acting talent is very good, and she does it in one go.There was no pause.

Wan Xiaohu, who was sitting behind the monitor, couldn't find anything to criticize.

"Perfect!"

Stretching, Wan Xiaohu shouted loudly: "Well, I think we're done!"

"Thank God, it's finally over, my nightmare!" Sandra shrugged.Let out a long breath.

"Wow, it's done!"

"It's finished!"

"Haha, you can go home happily for Christmas."

"It's not easy, it's been more than a year."

"Hey, director, where do you go for dinner tonight?"

The team of more than 20 people chattered excitedly, and Wan Xiaohu waved his hand: "Pack up the equipment first, and we will go to the biggest hotel in Okeechobee to have a nice meal!"

……

The indoor studio shoot is over.The post-production special effects work has already started in an orderly manner.

After arranging everything for the two teams of "Gravity" and "Frozen", Wan Xiaohu, who has been busy for a whole year, let go of everything at hand.

Villa Santa Monica.

Wan Xiaohu hugged Jessica's waist, put his forehead against his forehead, and whispered: "Jessica, I will go back to China first. This year, our Directors' Association will hold the 11th Cross-Straits and Hong Kong Film Directors Symposium, and announced that The 2010 China Film Directors Guild Annual Commendation Conference resumes, and I may not be able to refuse."

"Well, your work is important." Jessica said sweetly with her arms around Wan Xiaohu's neck.

"You and Juanjuan get ready first. I'll ask Joshua to come over and help out. After I'm done attending the meeting, I'll come back and spend Christmas with you."

"Actually, we can live with my parents. Joshua wants to accompany his girlfriend to the future father-in-law's house. There are not many people."

"You can figure it out, it doesn't matter where I live. Well, it's getting late, I should go."

"Be careful on the road, and call me when you arrive in the country."

"Of course, wife, Kss one."

Just when Wan Xiaohu was about to kiss Jessica Alba goodbye, Wan Juanjuan, already 2 and a half years old, ran over on a small bicycle: "Dad, I'm hungry."

Wan Xiaohu squatted down with a smile, and kissed Wan Juanjuan on the face: "Hey, let mom make you a cake to eat. Now let's go and send dad to the airport, shall we?"

"Dad, what are you doing at the airport?"

"Father is going abroad on business."

"Then you bring me a present."

"What gift do you want?"

Wan Juanjuan tilted her head, turned her eyes, and saw a doll of panda Po on the bar at the door: "I want a giant panda, a real giant panda."

"Wow, that's a really good idea." Wan Xiaohu was embarrassed, and then pointed to the tortoise master next to the panda Po and said, "Let's go to the zoo to see the giant pandas. Their hometown is in China, so they are not suitable for us Oh home. In this way, Dad will give you a very beautiful turtle, okay?"

After a moment of hesitation, Wan Juanjuan nodded: "Okay then, I want a turtle."

"Okay, my little princess!"

……

On December 2010, 12, Wan Xiaohu returned to China.

The purpose of coming back this time is very simple, which is to participate in the 11th Cross-Strait and Hong Kong Film Directors Symposium, and to participate in the press conference of the 2010 China Film Directors Association Annual Commendation Conference.

The Cross-Strait and Hong Kong Film Directors Symposium has been held for 11 sessions. Wan Xiaohu was also the main force of the seminar back then, but as his status has grown, he has not attended much in recent years.To be honest, he looks down on Hong Kong movies and Taiwanese movies now.

The film industry in these two regions, Hong Kong film plummeted, Taiwan film continued to decline, and a large number of talents have entered the mainland and participated in various production processes of mainland films.Communication doesn't make much sense anymore.

And because of political or historical reasons, in the face of the increasingly prosperous mainland movies, Hong Kong movies and Taiwanese movies all resist to varying degrees.A group of talents joined the mainland and integrated into mainland movies.A group sticks to the local area and boycotts mainland films.The existence of such exchange seminars has become insignificant.

Therefore, Wan Xiaohu is not very interested.

There is a special reason for participating this year, because the annual commendation conference of the National Film Directors Association has resumed.

2005.The National Film Directors Association is preparing to imitate Hollywood and conduct annual awards within the association.However, after one session, the response was flat.After all, the Chinese movies back then were piracy and DVDs, and the scale of the industry was small.The degree of commercialization is low.

So there will be no more events.

Until this year, the film market in mainland China broke through the 101.72 billion annual box office mark for the first time, reaching 62.06 billion yuan, an increase of 63.9% from last year's [-] billion yuan.

The overseas sales revenue of domestic films was 35.17 billion yuan, an increase of 27.7% from last year's 26.9 billion yuan.

Movie channels across the country earned 20.32 billion yuan, an increase of 16.89% from last year's 20 billion yuan.

The comprehensive benefit of the film in the whole year was 157.21 billion yuan.Compared with last year's 106.65 billion yuan, the year-on-year increase reached 47.4%.

These outstanding achievements indicate that after 8 years of arduous exploration and hard work, Chinese films have basically embarked on a healthy path of virtuous circle and sustainable development, and the film industrialization reform has achieved important results in stages.
