China Entertainment started from cutting off the Hu in 1995

Lao Jia was surprised and didn't know what Wu Yuchen meant.

Many other people gathered around.

This is……

When I opened the script, I saw that every line in Wu Yuchen's script had a specific time mark, accurate to the second!

And the final length of time was only 11 minutes!

Wu Yuchen said loudly:

When I was writing the script, all the images were already in my mind. I didn't need 30 minutes, just 11 minutes!

I don’t need 10 days either, just 3 days of shooting!

Lao Jia was shocked. Compared with Wu Yuchen, his preparations were really far behind!

I just came up with a first draft of the script, and the lines are already accurate to the second!

So is this the attitude you should have when making movies?

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this. Yes, it has been reduced from 30 minutes to 11 minutes, and from 10 days to 3 days. The cost is estimated to be only 30,000!

Although 30,000 is still a lot of money, compared to the initial 90,100,000, it is much easier to accept!

Taking advantage of everyone's enthusiasm rising again,

Wu Yuchen then continued to inject chicken blood:

“Moreover, we have a unique advantage!

We have an unparalleled love for movies, a strong passion, and a vigorous desire to create!

As long as it can be filmed, I won’t ask for any script fees or wages!

After listening to Wu Yuchen's words, a girl with short hair responded directly:

I'm studying recording. I can be a sound engineer. I don't have to worry about food. I can handle it myself!

I study art...

I study photography...

Seeing the enthusiasm of each of his classmates, Wu Yuchen showed a satisfied smile.

This is also the reason why he came here, to be able to form a complete crew directly.

Then Wu Yuchen raised his hand and everyone was quiet. Unknowingly, he had become the core character by default:

Our second advantage!

who are we?

We are students of Jingying Film School!

Everyone has more or less relevant backgrounds.

We can tap and make good use of the resources around us as much as possible!

First, I was able to get rid of the 16mm camera and borrow it for free!

The same short-haired girl from before: We have a tape recorder in our department. I'll go to the department chair to find a solution.

Naturally, Wu Yuchen has the greatest goodwill toward such an active migrant worker: Senior sister...

Hello, senior, my name is Qi Jing. The girl with short hair said with a smile.

Wu Yuchen felt that Qi Jing's personality and name didn't quite match him. He seemed to be resolute in everything he said and did.

Senior Qi Jing, I leave the recording equipment to you!

Haha, don't worry, even if I go to make trouble, I'll make it for you!

Then Wu Yuchen said:

The shooting equipment can basically be solved. As for the post-production, I also followed Senior Sister Qi's example and went back to the department to cause trouble.

If there is really no way, let's all work together to find a way.

Everyone is happy, indeed there are more solutions than difficulties!

In this way, you can save a lot of money, and it seems to be more and more reliable!

As for who will be the director now, no one has any doubts.

Wu Yuchen, who has a rhythm throughout the whole process, has been appointed as the director by default!

Wu Yuchen observed everyone in the classroom. Everyone's enthusiasm has risen again, and it is even higher than before!

Wu Yuchen secretly said that the heat is almost there, and people’s hearts can be used!

Everyone has the money to contribute and the ability to contribute. I believe our movie will be a success!

After saying that, Wu Yuchen took out a handful of money from his pocket and placed it on the table. There were big ones of one hundred and small ones of five yuan.

Then he showed a sincere smile:

Don't be surprised, everyone. This is the New Year's money and pocket money that I have saved since I was a child. The total adds up to 1,325 yuan.

That's right, Wu Yuchen's New Year's money in the past 18 years combined is less than one year's worth of future generations' children.

It’s not that my family is poor, it’s that the times have changed.

It was only 1995 at this time. In the 1980s, the small New Year's money was two or three yuan, and the big one was ten or twenty yuan. That is to say, it has only been with the rapid economic development in the past two years that the amount of New Year's money has increased, and hundreds of yuan bills have appeared.

Everyone was very touched when they saw that this junior who had just entered the school took out all the New Year's money from the bottom of the box.

After all, they basically had part-time jobs to make money when they were in college, and Wu Yuchen is such a pure and cute newbie!

This is the love for movies!

The senior named Qi Jing just now was the first to shout:

I have 1,200!

Wu Yuchen quickly wrote it down in his notebook, Qi Jing, 1,200.

I only have 700. A boy felt that he didn't have much money and scratched his head.

Thank you, senior, for your support. The movie could have been made without your contribution! Wu Yuchen still had a warm smile on his face and sincerely thanked him, which made the boy feel warm in his heart.

I'll pay 600.

I have 1,500.

Seeing that the students around me began to actively participate in the crowdfunding, the atmosphere became more and more heated, and everyone was infected, including Jia Zhangke.

He, Jia Zhangke, may not be as talented as others, but in terms of his passion for movies, Lao Jia has been no weaker than others throughout his life!

As soon as Lao Jia raised his head, he shouted: I'll pay 4,000!

His voice attracted the attention of everyone in the room. After all, 4,000 is not a small amount for a student.

Wu Yuchen also turned to look at Lao Jia, and asked with a hint of reminder:

Senior brother, will this affect your life? How much will it cost?

Jia Zhangke smiled and waved his hand: Although I am not very rich, I now have a stable income every month, and I am much richer than you, a new student who just entered the school.

The more money we have, the more hope our movie will have. If the money is gone, you can still make money, so you can work for two or three more months. But if the film doesn't come out this time, I don't think anyone will have the shame to discuss movies together in the future!

After hearing this, Wu Yuchen really admired Lao Jia. In his previous life, he was filming his own movie Going Home from the Mountain, so he spent four to five thousand out of his own pocket.

But now that he has switched to filming his Che 44, Lao Jia is still willing to spend so much, which shows that he is really passionate about movies!

People in later generations have the impression that art film directors like Jia Zhangke are miserable. They feel that they always lose money when making films, win awards and are ignored. They may not even be able to afford a house after years of poor business.

If you think so about Lao Jia, you are totally wrong!

Let’s break down Lao Jia’s resume:

The first crowdfunded film, Going Home from the Mountain, cost less than 30,000 yuan and earned a bonus of 50,000 yuan.

Xiao Wu, with an investment of only 300,000 yuan, earned nearly 5 million yuan through overseas distribution and authorized screenings;

Three Gorges, which invested 6 million yuan, sold more than 40 million yuan overseas because of the aura of the Golden Lion Award.

And won the Golden Lion Award at the 2006 Venice Film Festival for The Good Man.

Lao Jia once said in an interview that none of his movies have lost money.

Yes, none of them lose money! This is even more awesome than Lao Mouzi!
