The news of this symposium spread quickly throughout the film industry, and people said that this strange event, a teenager, had left many film experts and authorities speechless. The boy even said that it is not your fault that you read less, but it is your fault that you still want to come out. No one in the experts or authorities can refute it.

At first, some people said that there were old experts at the scene who were so angry that they were foaming at the mouth; soon they became so angry that some old experts had a heart attack and were sent to the hospital for first aid; and finally it became that seven old experts were so angry that they were sent to the hospital for rescue. Xu Wangqiu has simply become a formidable old man killer.

But all this has nothing to do with Xu Wangqiu, after the symposium, Xu Wangqiu threw himself on "Hoe Rape", first adjusted the story of "Hoe Rape", and then adjusted the lens language of "Hoe Rape", and modified the storyboard and storyboard.

Three weeks later, Xu Wangqiu found Xie Fei with the script, storyboard, and storyboard.

As a representative of the fourth generation of directors, Xie Fei is famous for his documentary aesthetics and admires Bazin's style, but unlike those experts, he does not reject other genres because he pursues documentary aesthetics. Xie Fei said to many young directors, whether it is a literary film or a commercial film, I have no objection, you can shoot whatever you are suitable for.

Xie Fei stayed on to teach after graduating from the directing department of Nortel Film Academy in 1965, and from 1974 to 1975, he worked as the scene reporter of the film "Cuckoo Mountain" and the assistant director of "Haixia" in Beijing Film Studio.

At the beginning of this year, Xie Fei completed his directorial debut/debut film "Fire Baby". This movie was jointly shot by Beijing Film Studio and Nortel. It's a very mediocre film, with no innovations, no personal features, and the film didn't cause any repercussions after its release.

In the process of filming "Fire Baby", Xie Fei made a big mistake, and when the movie was finished and cut roughly, he found that the plot of the movie was not enough, and the length of the cut film was less than 70 minutes, which required a large reshoot. When Beijing Film Studio reviewed the sample films, director Xie Tieli shook his head and said: "It seems that it is not possible to write a script on film. This made Xie Fei very ashamed.

Now Xie Fei looked at the storyboard of "Hoe Rape" brought by Xu Wangqiu, looked at the comic-like picture, and looked at the various annotations next to it, he was very surprised, thinking that if I could draw it like this when filming "Fire Baby", if I calculated the length of each shot, I would definitely not make the mistake of not having enough length of the movie.

Xie Fei slowly finished the storyboard, his heart was extremely shocked, the lens design of the whole movie was extremely advanced and mature, not at all like a novice who had never made a movie. The way the film was shot was so special that it required the photographer to shoot on his shoulder, deliberately pursuing the blurring and shaking of the lens, so as to create a realistic feeling of being on the battlefield.

What is genius? This is genius! What a genius idea!

Xie Fei didn't know what to say about "Hoe Rape", and looked at Xu Wangqiu speechless. He suddenly remembered that when he was at the symposium, Xu Wangqiu said that he would use movies to prove it, thinking that this kid really didn't talk casually, "The Rape" has a lot of innovation in techniques while retaining the tradition of storytelling, and if it can be filmed, it is really possible to achieve a double harvest of entertainment and artistry.

Xu Wangqiu saw Xie Fei staring at him and didn't speak, and said with a smile: "Teacher Xie Fei, why don't you speak? I'm so nervous like this, what do you think of "Hoe Rape"?"

Xie Fei came back to his senses and praised: "It's very thoughtful, but can you really shoot the effect you described?"

Xu Wangqiu nodded affirmatively: "Of course you can, I can guarantee it." ”

Xie Fei wanted to see if Xu Wangqiu's idea could be realized, and also wanted to see how he could realize it, so he said: "Since you are so sure, then I will shoot with you." I know you want to shoot it yourself, and you just want to find a shield for me, and I did it. ”

Xu Wangqiu hurriedly bowed to Xie Fei: "Thank you, Teacher Xie Fei! With Teacher Xie Fei in charge, "Hoeing Rape" will definitely be successful. ”

Xie Fei smiled and waved his hand: "Okay, don't slap my ass." These lens designs of yours are much more clever than the lenses of my "Fire Baby". Tell me what you think, if you need my help, just ask. ”

Xu Wangqiu was not polite, and said directly: "The biggest difficulty now is the problem of funding, if there is no money, the movie cannot be made." A few days ago, Zhong Xinfei Zhong Lao gave me an idea, that is, to let the school borrow from the Ministry of Culture in the name of teaching practice; we will definitely pay back this money, and when the film is finished, and after China Film acquires it, we will return the money to the Ministry of Culture. So, I thought let's go to the school leaders together and make this film under the name of co-directing. ”

Xie Fei slapped his thigh: "Why didn't you come to me earlier, it's a little late to come to me now! You may not know that just last week, the school set up a special preparation group for the gift film to create a gift film for the 30th anniversary of the National Day, in fact, it was to borrow money from the Ministry of Culture in the name of making a gift film, so that school teachers have the opportunity to make a film. The school set up a special creative team, and asked Han Xiaolei, Zhan Xiangzhi and Lin Hongtong to write a script each, and select the best script from it to make a tribute film. This matter has already been decided, and the school will definitely not borrow money for you for this movie. ”

Xu Wangqiu frowned slightly, and immediately said: "They can borrow money from the Ministry of Culture, and we can also borrow money from the Ministry of Culture.

Zhao Fei shook his head with a wry smile: "The Ministry of Culture is a well-known poor ministry, and the funds are very tight. Knowing how much the Ministry of Culture has approved for our school's teaching practice, it is only 40,000 yuan! So many teachers and so many students need teaching practice, and the fund is only 40,000 yuan! Didn't the school buy a set of video equipment recently, do you know how it came about? It was Wang Lanxi, the leader of the group, who ran it for more than half a year. ”

Xu Wangqiu frowned, if he couldn't borrow money from the Ministry of Culture, then the matter would be more troublesome, and he muttered: "Our movie is about our party's hoe rape, I think it should be okay as a tribute film." We went to the school and asked the school to shoot "The Rape" as a tribute film. ”

Xie Fei is a little bottomless, the story of "Hoe Rape" is very good, and the lens language is very innovative, under normal circumstances, the school should support it, but the school teachers have not made a movie for many years, and they are all staring at this opportunity; and Xu Wangqiu said too ugly words at the last symposium, which offended many teachers, and they are afraid that it will be difficult for them to support Xu Wangqiu.

However, Xie Fei felt that no matter what, he should still try: "That's it, let's go to Ke Lao together." He is in charge of this matter, and I will listen to his opinion, and if it doesn't work, we will think of other ways. ”

Xu Wangqiu and Xie Fei came to the office with the script, storyboard, and storyboard and found Zhang Ke. They said their thoughts, and then the script, storyboards, and storyboards were piled up in front of Zhang Ke.

Zhang Ke first read the script and felt that the story of "The Rape" was wonderfully written, exciting, and thrilling, but it was a complete thriller film, lacking ideological and artistic depth;

Zhang Ke has been a director, and he has been studying movies all these years, and he feels that "Hoe Rape" may be an epoch-making movie if it is really going to be made. He looked at his proud protégé, and deliberately said with a straight face: "How can you kid be so tormented?"

Xu Wangqiu said with a hippie smile: "If you don't toss, is it still called a young man? That's an old man! Ke Lao, after you finished reading the script, you should be more clear about our movie." It's not that we boast, our film is definitely better than other teachers' films. You can help us apply to the school, let "Hoe Rape" be a tribute film, let us shoot it. ”

Zhang Ke felt that the story of "The Rape" was top-notch, and the audio-visual language was very innovative and groundbreaking, and the school should support such a movie, so he said: "You leave the things, and I will talk to the school." ”

Xu Wangqiu bowed to Zhang Ke again and again: "Thank you, Kellao!

Zhang Ke waved his hand and said: "Don't be in a hurry to thank you, I just promised to talk to the school, whether it can be done or not is not certain!"

At noon two days later, Zhang Ke called Xu Wangqiu to the school's playground and told him that the school would not give him a chance to do so. Not only did Tang Ziqing, the deputy head of the group, make an obstacle to this, but most of the teachers were resolutely opposed, they said that those of us who were teachers had no chance to make movies, so why should Xu Wangqiu, a student, be a director.

Xu Wangqiu knew that "The Rape" wanted to be made into a movie, but the school couldn't count on it, so he had to find another way.

At present, China is a planned economy, and the same is true for filmmaking, and the state issues different production tasks to different film studios every year. After the end of the movement, in January 1977, the Ministry of Culture issued a production plan to the studios to produce 36 feature films per year, but only 21 were completed by the seven studios at full capacity.

The reason why these film studios can't complete their tasks is not because they don't have directors or technicians. Take Beijing Film Studio as an example, there are many well-known directors, Cui Wei, Ling Zifeng, Zhang Shuihua, Cheng Yin, known as the four handsome directors of Beijing Film Studio, as well as the four middle handsomes and the four small handsomes, these are sixteen, plus Huang Jian, a young director, there are more. It's not a matter of money, the state allocates 4.5 million yuan every year to let Beijing Film Studio make movies; if the money is not enough, Beijing Film Studio can also go to the bank for a loan.

The biggest problem of the fabrics of various film studios is the lack of scripts and a serious shortage of scripts. At present, most of the domestic literary journals have not been republished, and film studios can't find a place to buy stories just if they want to. As long as there is a good story, it will attract several film studios to compete for it. The situation of Beijing Film Studio this year should be better than last year, but it will definitely not be able to complete the task.

Xu Wangqiu believed that he and Xie Fei came to the door with the script, and Beijing Film Studio should not be able to ask for it, so he found Xie Fei with the information and told him the news that he was rejected by the school.

Xie Fei is not surprised by this, many of the school teachers have not made a movie for more than ten years, how can they give Xu Wangqiu the opportunity to give up the gift film; plus Xu Wangqiu said too ugly at the symposium, they will definitely oppose it; and he only filmed "Fire Baby" in the first half of this year, and the school cannot give himself a second chance right away.

Xie Fei patted Xu Wangqiu on the shoulder and comforted: "It's useless to find a school for this matter." I think so, I have cooperated with Beijing Film Studio, and I am familiar with the factory up and down, I went to Beijing Film Studio to find Director Wang Yang and asked Beijing Film Studio to pay for filming. ”

Xu Wangqiu was originally playing with the idea of Beijing Film Studio, but now when he heard Xie Fei say this, he hurriedly handed the information in his arms to Xie Fei: "Teacher Xie, then trouble you!"
