At the end of January 1997, Wang Qinian's four-person dormitory group produced Zuò's "Forty-five Minutes to Review the Historical Map of China" quietly became popular in the film academy.

Although it is not possible to talk about making zuò as much as possible, the subject matter and concept are heavy. With continuous graphics, the static historical atlas is transformed into a continuous animation, with a Bgm that makes you feel like your heartstrings are being plucked!

Let this film, in the film school, get hundreds of praises and touches!

Low-budget epic – that's a very apt description!

Not only the undergraduate students in the school think it is good, but even some foreign students feel great interest in this video to review the history of China.

In fact, Beijing Film is not only the most famous university in China's film and television industry, but also very few such professional and authoritative universities in the world.

For example, at the peak of the Hong Kong film industry, there were only successful artist training classes, and there was no film and television university. In other regions such as Japan and South Korea, the artist training courses established by film and television brokerage companies are often batch training and targeted training, and it is impossible to provide comprehensive and systematic training.

The countries in the world that have authoritative colleges and universities for the cultivation of film and television talents are only China and the United States. In the world, the only school with the same reputation as Beijing Film is the University of Southern California in the United States (specializing in cultivating sports, film and television talents).

Of course, in the past, the training of film and television talents by the Soviet Union was also unique in the world. However, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there were only two countries in the world, China and the United States, which also had professional and authoritative film schools.

It is also the authoritative universities of this film and television genre that are scarce all over the world, so after the reform and opening up, after the opening up, after Beiying recruited students, it quickly attracted candidates from hundreds of overseas countries to sign up. Among these overseas students, Japan and South Korea have the largest number of international students.

"After reading Wang's works, I felt that China's history is so great!" Junichi Kajioka, an international student in the Chinese version of the class of '97, after seeing Wang Qinian's works of zuò, deliberately came to the door and communicated with Wang Qinian.

Wang Qinian said with a smile: "In fact, as far as 'history' is concerned, there is no civilization in the world that can be compared with China. Many of the civilizations older than China have disappeared. It can be inherited to modern times, and the roots of civilization have not been broken, and I am afraid that only China remains. ”

Junichi Kajioka was curious: "Why has China been able to recover again and again?" What is the truth of Europe, the Middle East and other regions were once unified empires, but if they are divided, they will never be unified again! ”

Wang Qinian pondered: "During the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the Chinese nation gradually grew, conquered and created a national pride. The cultural ideas of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and then the concepts of 'books with the same text, cars with the same track' and 'great unification' of the Great Qin Empire, laid the foundation of China! This foundation dictates that we are more resilient than other peoples. ”

"I thought it was Confucius and Confucianism!" As a Japanese, Junichi Kajioka has a better understanding of Chinese civilization than other cultural circles in Europe and the United States, but after all, it is not as thorough as the understanding of Chinese.

"Confucius is only a small part of Chinese culture, not the whole story." Wang Qinian said.

……

In November 1997, "45 Minutes to Review the Historical Map of China" was watched by more than 3oo teachers and students at Beijing Film School, and after the school's recommendation, the film was officially sent to the National Film Bureau for trial. If the review is passed, this work may be in the name of science and education films, in China.

Originally, Wang Qinian didn't have much expectations for this, but soon after, he received a notice from the Film Bureau that the work was reviewed and approved, and in addition, a director of Beijing TV who did a historical program was quite interested in this film and spent money to buy the copyright of this film.

"Mr. Wang, I can only give 5ooo yuan for the copyright fee." Jiang Dachun, the director of Beijing TV Station, said from the bottom of his heart, "Because, at present, I have only watched this show, and the leaders of the station still don't know it, and the 5ooo yuan is actually paid by myself." If the program can be approved by the station leaders to buy, the station will buy it, otherwise, I will lose all my money. ”

"Director Jiang, money is not a problem! The point is, are you sure that the show will be broadcast on TV and, in its original form? Wang Qinian asked.

Director Jiang shook his head and said: "The original flavor is not estimated to be successful, we need to re-make and arrange it." After all, the historical map is purely played from beginning to end, and the audience can't accept it! My plan is to break down the video program into seven segments, and invite some history experts to explain and comment on the history, so that the program can be broadcast for about a week! ”

"Then can we write the name of the zuò team in the show?" Wang Qinian asked.

"Yes, when the film is made, your names will be added to the list." Director Jiang said sincerely.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with the team and give you an answer within tomorrow!" Wang Qinian said happily.

"Yes, wait for the good news!" Director Jiang smiled heartily.

Soon after meeting with Director Jiang of BJ Channel, in the evening, everyone in the team returned to the dormitory, and Wang Qinian relayed the news to everyone and asked everyone to make a decision together!

"What? Can this film be sold to TV stations? The crowd looked astonished.

"It's Director Jiang of Beijing TV who wants to make a similar special program, and after watching our film, he thinks it can be used as material, so he wants to buy it!" Wang Qinian introduced to everyone, "5ooo yuan copyright fee, if everyone agrees, after the matter is completed, it will be divided equally!" ”

"Agreed!"

"If you don't make money, you're a bastard!"

Anyway, the video "Historical Map of China" has almost zero cost, and everyone only pays their own time and energy. As students of the film academy, everyone needs to practice, and before they become famous, everyone pays attention to the accumulation of experience and fame.

Of course, everyone is very happy to make money.

……

The next day, in the afternoon. Everyone made an appointment with Director Jiang and signed the copyright contract together, and after the contract was signed, Director Jiang also paid 5ooo yuan very happily.

Among the five members of the team, each person received exactly 1ooo yuan.

After getting the money, everyone was in a very good mood, bought roast duck, beef and beer in the evening, talked about movies and life, and talked until twelve o'clock in the evening, when the dormitory lights went out.

I drank in the dormitory in a daze, and then I began to lie down on the bed.

"Brother Nian, let's make a real movie!" Hao Yi said drunkly.

"Movies?" Wang Qinian hiccuped, "The Historical Map of China is not very good, it is low-cost, the reputation is also good, and it even makes money!" ”

"What's that?" Hao Yi said, "What can be shown in the cinema is called a movie!" The film of this historical map, the most contribution, that is, creativity, artificial, computer technology, is 108,000 miles away from the movie! ”

""Historical Map" doesn't even use a single actor and performance, it can't be considered a movie!" Li Xie said aggrievedly.

"The cameras are not used!" Du Jie also spread his hands, "It's completely made with a computer!" ”

"What can be released in the cinema is the real movie!" Hao Yi said.

"yes, we're going to make a real movie next!" Everyone shouted excitedly.

Real movie?!

Suddenly, Wang Qinian felt that he had woken up!

is different from the previous "Historical Map", which was a small fight, and the requirements for the script, team, funding, and technology are very high.

Is this really something that a freshman can do?

Although Wang Qinian has a plan, this goal is a long-term future. For example, at the beginning, I wrote scripts, worked as an assistant director, and became an assistant, in any position.

Stay up until you have enough qualifications, enough experience, and more importantly, no shortage of money, before you consider investing in making movies.

After all...... a movie like "Xiao Wu" also costs 2o!

But looking at the excitement of this group of guys, Wang Qinian didn't want to pour cold water, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's make a real movie!" ”
