From 1978 to 1980, Zhang Wanting worked as a writer and director on Radio Television Hong Kong and Television Television, and participated in the production of the children's program "Banana Boat" and the urban life series TV series "Under the Lion Rock".

But in fact, Zhang Wanting's dream is to be a director, because when she participated in the BBC work as a translator, she found that she had to know a lot of things to be a director, and she felt that the director was very powerful. And Zhang Wanting is most afraid of the "9 to 5" office life, she found that she didn't have to go to work as a director, so she had the idea of developing as a director

Because of her work experience and qualifications in radio and television stations, Zhang Wanting has a very high status in the group of directors who are preparing to become directors or are becoming directors at this time.

Even Zhang Wanting, the founder of the film biweekly, has contributed, and the editor-in-chief in it is a good friend with her, and even worked under her.

Then, in '81, when the New Wave began to take off, Zhang Wanting was ready to continue to move forward towards her dream of directing, so she gave up her job in this year and went to New York University to study for a master's degree in film.

During her school years, Zhang Wanting conceived the first book about illegal immigrants who dealt with immigration, just as Xu Anhua had a Vietnam trilogy, Zhang Wanting also had her trilogy, which was the immigration trilogy.

The first part is illegal immigration, Zhang Wanting likes immigration themes and her own experience, she first went to college in the UK and then went to the United States to study, she has seen a lot of immigrants, as well as all kinds of hardships and problems encountered by immigrants, so her first film is also her graduation work is the theme of immigration.

It's just that where did she, a poor student, get the money to make a movie, and it's a movie about immigration, the investment is not big, but it's not small.

That's when her previous work experience helped her.

When she returned to Hong Kong in 84 years to find Shaw Brothers, she found Shaw Yifu, who has work experience in wireless, and somehow, Shao Yifu, who has always regarded movies as a business, really invested in Zhang Wanting and funded her shooting.

In this way, Zhang Wanting raised 100 Hong Kong dollars to shoot a film about how Chinese youths with no "identity" survive in Chinatown, USA.

Then this movie, which was all produced by Zhang Wanting and her classmates and friends in front of and behind the scenes, caused a sensation among professionals as soon as it was released in Hong Kong, and the reputation was extremely good, not to mention, even the box office after the release was not bad.

The investment of one million Hong Kong dollars earned back more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, and there are still 2.5 million yuan in one point with the theater chain, and about 1.5 million yuan after deducting the investment.

Then last year, this movie helped Zhang Wanting win the Best Director Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards, and Zhang Wanting also became the second female director to win the Best Director Award at the Hong Kong Film Awards after Xu Anhua.

Illegal immigration is the first part of the immigration trilogy, and the autumn fairy tale is the second part, the heroine Li Qi in this one is based on Zhang Wanting's own experience and personality, and the bow ruler is the prototype of one of her friends.

Qiao Feng knows that the theme of immigration and wandering runs through most of Zhang Wanting's movies, not to mention that he likes autumn fairy tales very much and knows that this movie is very good at the box office, so he is not surprised and surprised that Zhang Wanting made the first illegal immigrant and then the second part, but he is very curious why Zhang Wanting found him.

As a result, Zhang Wanting told Qiao Feng that she originally thought that it would be much easier to make a movie and find investment after the illegal immigrant award and box office success, but the reality gave her a blow to the head.

When she first raised the filming of illegal immigrants, the 1 million Hong Kong dollars was raised by her in many ways, borrowed from relatives and friends, and found some companies to raise, of course, the most was given by Shao Yifu, who gave more than 800,000 yuan.

It's not much better now.

When people heard that it was a literary film, they had lost most of their interest, and there was still a lot of money for filming, and those small and medium-sized companies directly refused to listen to it anymore.

Later, she also found Debao company, Debao's people were quite interested, Zhang Wanting happily told Debao's people about it, but later said that the heroine wanted to use Zhong Chuhong, Debao's people directly changed their faces and politely invited her out of the company, not giving Zhang Wanting a chance to react at all.

was kicked out, Zhang Wanting also reacted that the guidance must be because of the grievances between Debao and Qiao Feng, and then Zhong Chuhong and Qiao Feng had that relationship, so Debao changed his face when he heard Zhong Chuhong.

Zhang Wanting, who wanted to understand, was a little speechless and wanted to cry, because in fact, she liked Zhong Chuhong very much in her heart, and thought that Zhong Chuhong was very suitable for Li Qi, but it was not necessary for Zhong Chuhong, as long as Debao explained clearly and gave a chance to explain, she could continue to talk.

But they were all driven out and it was useless to think about anything the most, although Zhang Wanting had a gentle temperament, but she was not the kind of person you give me a face and I still have to follow your temperament, so she turned her face and left Debao directly, and then she found Qiao Feng.

Listening to Zhang Wanting's detailed introduction to the nails she encountered in finding investment, especially listening to her telling her about finding Debao and her own guesses after Debao's refusal, Qiao Feng couldn't help but shake his head and felt funny, no wonder he couldn't find investment, this is not only that the type of film is not pleasing, this is direct, what is said to say that he does not hide his temperament at all, I am afraid it is also one of the reasons for touching so many nails.

Qiao Feng, the director of literary films, has always been not very dealing, because compared with commercial film directors, those who engage in literature and art will always have all kinds of persistence, and all kinds of literary and artistic ideas do not want to change, but if they do not change, they often do not have a good box office.

Just like Zhang Wanting, Qiao Feng remembered watching an interview with Zhang Wanting in the original time and space, in that interview, Zhang Wanting said that her new film Tale of Three Cities has been more than ten years since the last movie shot, and in fact, she had the script of Tale of Three Cities ten years ago, okay, it can be filmed, and it has been prepared, but it has not been able to raise filming funds for a long time, so it can only be delayed and more, and it is often the funds that she has managed to raise, but the actual market has changed, and the shooting cost has increased, so the funds she raised are still not enough.

It dragged on for ten years, and her friend Shi Nansheng once saw her and asked her about the situation, only to know the reason why she had not had a new film, and then introduced a large company to her to invest, and then the filming of Tale of Three Cities began.

Then, in the interview, Zhang Wanting also gave the reason why her investment was not good to raise from the other side, the reporter asked her what you would do if the investor wanted to change some plots or add some elements that the audience liked, Zhang Wanting directly said that I can not shoot.

But this is the character and persistence of literary film directors, so Qiao Feng has never liked to deal with literary film directors, the only literary film director in his company is Guan Jinpeng, and then the reason for this existence is also a big factor because of his sexual orientation, many shots can let him take charge of the camera and Qiao Feng will not mind to a certain extent.

Zhang Wanting is absolutely willing to refuse to come to the door, but fortunately, Zhang Wanting came to the door because of the autumn fairy tale, Qiao Feng likes this movie, and Zhong Chuhong still plays the heroine, Qiao Feng did not refuse, and directly agreed to invest in Zhang Wanting, and Zhang Wanting is in charge of everything.

For the sake of the classics in his heart, Qiao Feng went out to deal with the director of the literary film again.

Seeing that Zhong Chuhong also expressed a strong liking for this story, Qiao Feng felt that he had made a very correct decision.
