Chapter 55: The Butterfly Effect

Happy home.

Chu Xuan held the pen and wrote something quietly, with a serious attitude and indulged in it at the same time, the sunlight outside the window was refracted in, not dazzling, but with a gentle touch, caressing his cheeks like a lover's gentle hand.

"Why did you think of her?"

Chu Xuan chuckled lightly and focused on his work.

When I looked in, I saw a notebook on the desk, and at the beginning of it were four big ink-colored characters - butterfly effect.

It looks a little psychedelic and simple.

In scientific terms, the butterfly effect refers to the fact that in a dynamical system, small changes in the initial conditions can lead to a long-term and huge chain reaction of the whole system.

It is also a chaotic phenomenon, which shows that there are fixed numbers and variables in the development of any thing, and in the process of development, the development trajectory of things has laws to follow, and there are also unpredictable "variables", which are often counterproductive, and when applied to life, there will be scenes or beautiful or cruel memories.

And what Chu Xuan wants to tell is such a story:

We sometimes have a lot of ideas, but what would be the result if we did?

The wind from the Atlantic may affect a rain in Mexico.

The protagonist Lin Wen keeps changing his past choices, hoping to find a perfect future, but it backfires, often leading to a more tragic ending, but even if it is good enough, how can people be satisfied?

Chu Xuan hopes that through this film, he can leave the audience with some thoughts, such as human beings who once got carried away with their understanding of themselves, thinking that they were gods, and eventually will still realize the limitations of nature, but it is this limitation that can reflect the meaning of life, choices and efforts.

When we look back, we naturally regret our past mistakes, but it is these mistakes and these paths that make us who we are, and it is these pains that make us feel unforgettable in our lives.

Only by living better in the present can people better embrace the future!

The original film must not be copied, otherwise it is a question whether it can be released in the mainland, and there are many reasons for this, one is the unbridled love of students in the dormitory during college, the second is the gay request in prison, and the third is the father's molestation of his daughter, which needs to be moderately reduced, as for the detonator that killed a mother and son...

Chu Xuan communicated with Han Sanping but decided to stay, just turn it into a grenade left by Xiaoying before, and the heroine Roy's father thought it was useless and regarded it as a collector's item.

This point is also a more sensitive place, because at this time, the four children are not only minors, but also under 14, so they are not punished!

Therefore, this point needs to be brushed in the spring and autumn period, and it is mentioned in the script.

At the same time, the ending of the original film did not conform to Chu Xuan's ideas, and most viewers couldn't accept it, because it was too much... It's speechless.

In the end, the male protagonist returned to his mother's womb and strangled himself with the umbilical cord...

Is it definitely for the sake of art?

Or is it the director's pathetic conception of the world itself?

Okay, Chu Xuan doesn't understand, but this definitely won't work!

Therefore, in order to replace these scenes, as well as the localization of the characters, and the combing of the lines, it really takes a lot of time, plus the background of the male and female protagonists is the setting of the rich second generation, cars, villas, and photography, etc., it will be much more suitable to be placed in Xiangjiang, and if some funds or actors from Xiangjiang are introduced, the review will also lower some standards.

Director, in many cases, is the art of balance, to make many parties get by, but also to go down the ladder.

Little by little, time passed.

Chu Xuan frowned from time to time, sometimes hesitated to start writing, and finally waited until the completion of the first stage, he got up and left the desk, first stretched his waist, and then moved his muscles,

Then a person sorted out the folded quilt, roughly stored the small items, and finally fell on the picture frame of the family portrait of the happy family for a few seconds, and then walked into the bathroom outside,

He's going to give himself a bath, and then blow up a handsome short head, and at the same time it's time to put on new clothes today, because it's the New Year.

After that, there was no need to go to Xingchen, and there was no one to go, there were not many employees, Ning Hao also took some of them, and the rest was also on annual leave.

The Coke I bought at the supermarket before I drank it, and the garbage bag in the room should be replaced, recall, when I woke up this morning, it was still a little dark, and the curtains were closed.

After waking up, there was no sound except for the sound of his own breathing, as if he was isolated from a piece of the world, and the mobile phone he found out was turned off because of habit problems, no one asked and no one answered, and he wanted to say something at the moment but didn't know where to start.

If you want to ask what loneliness is, maybe staying in this state all the time is one of them.

But fortunately, this is just an illusion for Chu Xuan today, he has a perfect body, a complete love, a complete self, and unfinished dreams, everything is just right,

And aspiring young people should try the world, chase a gust of wind and dare to go to the depths of the desert, cross the mountains, cross the sea, ride the most handsome horses, pick the most colorful flowers, go slow to let the wind go first, go fast and stop for a while to look at the scenery around you, and then give a limerick poem to all the partners walking on the road:

If you are young, it is better to send autumn waves secretly

It's like living in time and not being willing to be lonely

Finally, before parting, remember to wave your hand and faint this February day!

"Lao Zhou, how is the investigation, I have all the lots, right?"

After taking a bath, he called Zhou Lin, who was far away in Xiangjiang, he had already handed over the resignation procedures to Nortel, and now he was enthusiastically wanting to establish a career, so after communicating with Chu Xuan, he simply didn't want to spend the year, and then went straight to Xiangjiang to inspect the filming location, first circle the general location, and wait for the financing to talk about it specifically.

"Director Chu, there is no problem in the slums, in the deep water wading side, we can provide some funds, as for the school is currently in contact, but we still have concerns, after you pull the investment, it should be no problem to let Zhongying and them talk, as for the rich villa area, there are many here, Saigon, Shi Ao, Beverly Hills, the only difficulty is the prison, you need some relationship."

Zhou Lin briefly introduced everything, and Chu Xuan was also very confident in his heart,

"In this way, you send me the information, and we will go together after the next year, and you will see if you can get in touch with Golden Harvest, after all, we are not familiar with the place, and we are not strong dragons, so it will be much more convenient to find a local cooperation."

After 03 years, Jiahe has inevitably gone into decline, and even more so in the next few years, once relied on selling copyrights to return to blood, if Chu Xuan is rich and powerful in two years, he can consider acquiring it, because this kind of opportunity is really rare.

This is also the reason why Chu Xuan considered contacting them, the negotiation conditions will be much better, don't look at the many people in Xiangjiang who look down on the mainland, but business is about interests.

Then the two of them spoke a few more words, and that was the case for the time being.

Chu Xuan hung up the phone, and silently thought in his heart, this time the investment will be about 18 million, and there are some special effects that need to be dealt with, that is, every time the male protagonist crosses, although it is not much, it is best not to be shoddy, as well as the scenes and actors...

"Do you want to choose the male protagonist of Xiangjiang?"

To be honest, Chu Xuan is indifferent to most Hong Kong and Taiwan artists, but he has to admit that there is a lot of pressure on the investment of 18 million yuan, even if he has succeeded once, but for the director, every new film is a gamble, and it is difficult for him to avoid it when Lao Mouzi and Feng Dacang have misses, after all, the film is too affected by the environment and the market, and it pays attention to the time and place.

And one of the advantages of choosing the male protagonist of Xiangjiang is that overseas capital will be relatively recognized, and maybe the selling price can be higher, although I feel uncomfortable, but this is a fact, after all, this is the legacy that took decades to leave in the Hong Kong circle in the last century.

It's like a saying that has been handed down in later generations: Why did the efforts of several generations of people lose to you in a ten-year cold window?

It's very heart-wrenching, but the ancients have long made it clear that everything that is happening now is just a spiral, and what has not changed is the nature, one is life, the second is luck, and finally hard work.

"Chao is still not handsome enough, the image is not enough, so what about other students?

Bo can star in it, but there are few scenes, it's a pity. ”

It's just that Chu Xuan shoots all dignified films, Huang Bo is not suitable for him to say, and the experience of later generations also shows this, either small people or black humor, only Ning Hao can bring out his characteristics, and here he can only show ordinary characters or bitterness.

Chu Xuan and Ning Hao happened to have some opposite styles, belonging to the kind of one positive and one strange.

In the end, Chu Xuan still had no choice, he could only wait for the time of financing, he was still not afraid of failure, even if he was now responsible for not only himself, but also the entire Xingchen, but why should he move forward with the risks that could be avoided?

After a while, the text message came.

Gao Yuanyuan asked him to visit the Great Wall.

"Neurotic, what else can you see when you visit the Great Wall during this period except for human heads?"

Chu Xuan sighed and replied to the message: "Wait for me downstairs at your house, I'll be there in ten minutes." ”

Then when he walked out of the door, he saw Xiao An taking Xiao Nan to play in the yard.

"Brother Xuan!"

"I prepared a gift for you on Chinese New Year's Eve, I hope you like it."

Chu Xuan touched the hair of the two children, one was Lin Wen when he was a child, and the other was a little Lori Roy, just right.

"Can't you say it now?"

Xiao An showed a curious look.

"I'll know in two days, and soon, the gift will have to wait until the last minute to be revealed, otherwise how can it be considered a surprise?"

Chu Xuan got up, and then he was ready to go out.

"Brother Xuan, where are you going?"

Xiao An asked behind him.

Chu Xuan took out a car key, that's right, he bought a car, and spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy two Santanas, one for himself and one for the company.

The money was asked for 500,000 yuan from China Film in advance, and the rest had to be settled together in a month after the movie was completely released, and then transferred 200,000 yuan to Ning Hao, and the rest of the money was added together to be enough for the company to continue to operate for another half a year.

So, as the old saying goes, money is hard to make, is hard to eat.

"Pick up a sister."

Xiao An continued to ask:

"Will you come back that night?"

Chu Xuan smiled inexplicably,

"It's up to that sister to let me go."
