Zhang Wanyao and Luo Qirui's graduation work "Illegal Immigration" has finally been filmed, and it has been arranged to be screened in two theaters, Golden Princess and Golden Harvest, although there are only not too many scenes, but it is already very powerful for the two, this is a graduation work, others can have a screen and die of joy.

Illegal immigration has never been interrupted in developed countries, only a very small number of people can return to their hometowns, many more have fled for many years to get legal status, and some can only die in foreign countries.

The problem of illegal immigration is not only of concern to developed countries, but also to underdeveloped and backward regions. Hong Kong is also a place where there are a lot of immigrants, not only the mainland has fled Hong Kong, but also the surrounding countries such as Vietnam have fled to Hong Kong.

After the signing of the Sino-British joint proclamation, there was a wave of immigrants in Hong Kong, and many Hong Kong people who were not confident in the future were ready to emigrate.

Maybe it's because I joined the Phoenix culture and I'm particularly motivated, maybe it's because people in different historical time and space don't think so differently, in short, this "Illegal Immigrant" is a little different from the one I watched in my previous life, the expression is more delicate, and the warmth is better than the original film.

In the original history, I remember that this film seemed to win five million at the box office in the end. However, at that time, it was only released in the theaters of the Ts, and now it is jointly released in the two theaters. has the investment of Mo Fei, a gold medal producer, which is far more attractive than the half-dead Kuo, who won more than 7 million at the box office in the first week of release. I am so happy that the two theaters immediately increased the number of screenings.

It is already great that a graduation work can have such results, and Mo Fei also held a small celebration banquet for Zhang Wanyao and Luo Qirui, and the company's TV series and film directors were all present to congratulate them, and at the same time officially welcome them to become a member of Phoenix Culture.

Early the next morning, Zhang Wanyao rushed to Phoenix Culture, and today she was invited to talk about a new play. It is also the first film she officially took over, and it is of great significance, and it must not be neglected at all.

It was when I went to the company. Zhang Wanyao had been waiting for a while, called Zhang Wanyao into the office, and after sitting down, she didn't say anything, and directly pushed a script in front of her. "Look at this script. What do you think to say it. ”

This script is much thicker than the average script, almost twice as thick, Zhang Wanyao took it very puzzled, and went out to the director's special studio to read it, but she couldn't read it all the time in Mo Fei's office, it was too rude.

It is a story about the daily life of society, narrated by a typical middle-class family with a successful wife. There is no adult daughter, a mess of inferior husbands. When three people like this are together, it's no wonder that there is no story.

Sure enough, one day the hero met his daughter and classmates who had just returned from school as a cheerleader, and he was immediately deeply moved by the beauty of his daughter's classmates, and his almost completely gray heart was re-lit and fell into the love trap of an underage girl.

And the heroine, who seems to be strong and independent, but longs for emotional comfort in her heart, is under the candid photo of her new neighbor, she glows with a flame of passion in her heart and starts her own extramarital relationship.

The boy who secretly sells drugs in the neighbor's house doesn't care about the pursuit of the hero's daughter at all, and no one knows that he is a homosexual, and it is the father of the female classmate that he likes.

The whole story exposes all kinds of pathologies hidden under the surface of society through the method of ridicule, as if there is also a worry about the future economic downturn.

Although Zhang Wanyao doesn't know how Mo Fei conceived the script in the first place, this concern about the future economic situation is obvious in the script, does he have enough understanding of the economy outside of music and movies?

But these are not things that Zhang Wanyao should worry about, she knows very well that her duty is to make this movie well. She can be sure that this is a super script, no worse than any of Mo Fei's previous scripts, and the weight of this trust is very heavy.

The basic story ends almost halfway through the thickness, and Zhang Wanyao continues to read on, and on the first page after the script is an explanation of the title.

Samantha - a variety of roses, the flower language is "untouchable love", which matches the forbidden love in the film......

Then looking down, Zhang Wanyao was a little stunned, the next thing was actually a storyboard script, and the details of this storyboard script were simply something she had never seen before.

Not only does it list the camera number, background, technique, time, picture content and soundtrack of each shot in the table, but also marks the first letters of English words S, C, D, and A in the remarks at the end, listing what kind of performance the four basic elements of the film script should be, such as scenes, characters, dialogues, and actions.

Some directors in the Hong Kong film industry don't even have a complete script, and they often think of where to shoot, and it's good to have a complete outline.

According to other directors, Mo Fei's script is simply written for the director, and every director who gets the script will feel that this book is like he wrote it himself, which shows Mo Fei's attitude towards movies.

But Zhang Wanyao has never heard of it, but when she gives a script to a director, she still has a storyboard script, and it is still such a complete script. Not to mention how much time and experience it takes to make such a script, even for a director, such a script is likely to become a shackle, limiting the extension and embodiment of the director's thoughts.

This script must not be simple, Zhang Wanyao dares to bet with anyone, she will never come up with such a script for no reason, it is very likely that she is worried that she will not be able to handle such a film, so she made arrangements in advance.

If you look at what the whole story is going to tell. The weight of this movie is very heavy, Zhang Wanyao confirmed that she has never seen such a deep script, and it will be a very in-depth movie. Far more than Mo Fei's award-winning "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" in Berlin, such a film is really not completely sure that it can be filmed well.

It took almost two hours for Zhang Wanyao to finally read the script and the storyboard script, this script is simply too detailed, including a large number of rose petals to be used in a certain shot, what kind of posture the actor should have in a certain shot, and which shot needs to be replaced by a stand-in. The film must end with an empty shot of a garbage bag being blown up by the wind and floating around, etc.

With such a storyboard script, Zhang Wanyao believes that there will be no problems with the filming of this film, and even if it goes well. As long as the shots are connected together, it's already a movie, and there's almost no work to edit or something.

But such a script is also very striking, and each director will show his own style in the film lens. You can shoot with a storyboard like this. There's still a chance to show off your style. If it weren't for the fact that this script was very in line with her own mind, Zhang Wanyao would feel that she was not a director at all, but a humanoid filming machine that could command the actors and staff of various units.

should have expected that Zhang Wanyao would have an idea, and when Zhang Wanyao entered Mo Fei's office again, Mo Fei also gave her a detailed explanation: "Director Zhang must be very strange, why I will make a special storyboard script for this film." Maybe you've thought it's because of your distrust of your directing skills, and I can tell you in all seriousness that I do have concerns about that. But that's only a small part of it, because after all, this is your first time directing a film like this. And more reason. I am going to take this film to the Berlin Film Festival next year, and I can't afford to miss it. ”

Only then did Zhang Wanyao know that this film was much more important than she imagined, and the first film of her official debut was such a big action, which also made Zhang Wanyao feel very flattered, and her first reaction was what to do if she smashed it.

With such a worry, she also understood Mo Fei's worry. To put it bluntly, this is one of her works, and it is not required to be able to win the Best Director Award, as long as it can be included in the nomination list, it will be an absolute success, the first official film.

However, what he wants to express is not finished, participating in the Berlin Film Festival is only a small part, and he has bigger moves. looked at Zhang Wanyao, who understood a little, and said: "Participating in the Berlin Film Festival is the first step, after you accumulate a certain amount of experience through this film, I plan to make it into a Hollywood film in a few years, there is a rose in the United States called 'American Beauty', and when the time comes, I will use this as the title, and my goal is to win the Oscar." ”

This film won five Oscars in its original history, and now it is eighty-five years, and it will be remade again in fifteen years, making box office is one thing, and it is also important to go to the Oscars.

Zhang Wanyao is now completely convinced, her boss's ambition is not a little big, and now the movie has not started filming, so she plans to remake it to participate in the Oscars in many years. It seems that he has not been preparing for a short time, and this year's "Die Hard" may be a tentative signal flare, his boss is really unusual.

"What about the actors, Mr. Mo, have you decided everything?" Zhang Wanyao knows that Mo Fei's movies will basically arrange important roles in person, and this film is so important, he has to ask about it personally.

This question is really a little difficult to answer, thought for a while, and said: "In terms of actors, I haven't completely decided yet, the actor must use Liu Songren, and he must have no problem playing this role." There is only one other role I have set now, that is, the classmate with the hero's daughter, and I am going to use the company to sign a girl in the mainland. I have considered Xiao Fangfang, the wife of the male protagonist, and there are no suitable candidates for other roles, especially the role of daughter, which is very difficult to find. You familiarize yourself with the script first, and then think about starting filming, and you should pay more attention to the actors when they have time. ”

(I got a bad cold overnight, and my nose was dripping for a day, and my head and throat were dripping.) My eyes hurt so much, I wrote more than a thousand words in the third chapter, I really don't have energy, I'm embarrassed to make an appointment today, I took medicine at night and slept well, and I will make up for it tomorrow. (To be continued......)
