Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang

From 1978 to 1980, Wanting Zhang served as a director for Hong Kong Radio and Television, and participated in the production of the children's program "Banana Boat" and the urban life series TV series "Under the Lion Rock".

But actually Zhang Wanting's ideal is to be a director, because when she was working as a translator for BBC, she found that she had to know a lot to be a director, and she felt that the director was very good.And Zhang Wanting is most afraid of the office life of "9 to 5". She discovered that she can be a director without having to go to work, so she has the idea to develop into a director.

Because of working experience and qualifications in radio and television stations, Zhang Wanting has not yet set off a new wave of directors who are preparing to become directors, or directors who have new ideas, new shooting concepts, and skills in the group of directors.

Even Zhang Wanting, the founder of the Film Biweekly, has worked hard, and the editor-in-chief in it is a good friend of her, and even worked under her.

Then in 1981, when the new wave began to rise, Zhang Wanting was ready to move on to her dream of being a director, so she put down her work this year and went to New York University to study for a master of film.

While in school, Wanting Zhang conceived the first illegal immigrants about immigration issues. Just like Xu Anhua’s Vietnam trilogy, Zhang Wanting also has her trilogy called Immigration.

The first part is illegal immigration. Zhang Wanting likes the subject of immigration to be related to her own experience. She first went to university in the UK and then to school in the United States. Problem, so her first film is also her graduation work on immigration.

It's just that she, a poor student, did not get the money to make movies, and it was about immigrants. The investment is not big, but it is not small.

At this time, her previous work experience helped her.

She went back to Hong Kong to find Shaw Brothers in 1984, and she found Shao Yifu. She has work experience in wireless. Somehow, Shao Yifu, who has always regarded movies as a business, actually invested in Zhang Wanting. Support her filming.

In this way, Zhang Wanting raised 100 Hong Kong dollars to complete the filming of illegal immigrants that tells how Chinese youths with no "identity" survive in Chinatown in the United States.

Then this film, which was produced by Zhang Wanting and her classmates and friends in front and behind the scenes, caused a sensation among professionals when it was released in Hong Kong. The reputation was extremely good, even after the release, the box office was not bad.

The investment of 1 million Hong Kong dollars earned more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars in the box office, and it was 2.5 million yuan if it was divided into the movie theaters. After deducting the investment, it earned about 1.5 million yuan.

Then last year, this film helped Zhang Wanting to win the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Director, and Zhang Wanting became the second female director to win the Hong Kong Film Awards for Best Director after Xu Anhua.

Illegal immigration is the first part of the immigration trilogy, and the autumn fairy tale is the second part. The heroine Li Qi in this part is based on Zhang Wanting’s own experience and personality, and the bow ruler is the prototype of a friend of hers. Wanting Zhang said that such a setting is interesting and also wants to let everyone know the true status of those illegal immigrants.

Qiao Feng knows that the theme of immigration and drifting runs through most of Zhang Wanting's movies, not to mention that he likes autumn fairy tales and knows that this movie is very good at the box office, so for Zhang Wanting, he filmed the first illegal immigrant and went on to film the second completely. I am not surprised or surprised, but I am curious why Zhang Wanting finds herself.

As a result, Zhang Wanting told Qiao Feng that she originally thought that it would be much easier to make a movie to find investment after having the award of illegal immigrants and the success of the box office, but the reality has given her a blow.

She raised the 1 million Hong Kong dollars when filming illegal immigrants. She also borrowed them from relatives and friends. Some companies raised them. Of course, Shao Yifu gave it at most. Shao Yifu gave more than 800,000 Hong Kong dollars.

It's not much better now.

When people heard it, most of the interest in literary and artistic films has disappeared.

Later, she went to Debao Company. Debao’s people were quite interested. Zhang Wanting happily told Debao’s people. Later, she said that the heroine wanted to use Zhong Chuhong, and Debao’s people changed their faces directly. She was kindly invited out of the company, and Zhang Wanting was not given a chance to respond at all.

Being kicked out, Zhang Wanting also reacted to the guidance. It must be because of Debao's grievance with Qiao Feng, and then Zhong Chuhong and Qiao Feng had such a relationship, so Debao changed his face when he heard Zhong Chuhong.

Wanting to understand Zhang Wanting was a little speechless and wanted to cry, because in fact she liked Zhong Chuhong very much and thought that Zhong Chuhong was very suitable for Li Qi, but it was not for Zhong Chuhong. As long as Debao clarified it clearly and gave a chance to explain, she could continue. Let's talk about it.

But I was kicked out, and it didn’t help me what I thought most. Although Zhang Wanting had a gentle temper, it was not the kind of temper that you gave me. I had to follow your temper, so she turned her face away and left Debao. Go to Qiao Feng.

Listening to Zhang Wanting's detailed introduction of the nails she encountered when looking for investment, especially when she told Debao and her own guess after Debao refused, Qiao Feng couldn't help shaking his head and thought it was funny, no wonder I can’t find investment. It’s not just that the type of film is unpleasant. It’s straightforward. I’m afraid it’s one of the reasons why there are so many nails.

Qiao Feng, the director of literary and artistic films, has never dealt much with each other, because compared with commercial film directors, literary and artistic directors always have all kinds of perseverance. They don’t want to change the ideas of all kinds of literary and youth. of.

Just like Zhang Wanting, Qiao Feng remembers seeing an interview with Zhang Wanting in the original time and space. In that interview, Zhang Wanting said that her new film The Story of Three Cities has been more than ten years since the last filming, but in fact the script of The Story of Three Cities She had it ten years ago. Okay, it's ready to be filmed, and preparations have been made, but she couldn't raise funds for the filming late, so she could only delay more and more, and it was often the funds she had finally raised, but the actual market Changes have taken place and the cost of shooting has increased, so the funds she raised are still not enough.

This has been dragged on for ten years. It was her friend Shi Nansheng that once saw her and asked her about her situation, and then she knew why she hadn’t released a new film, and then introduced her to a big company to invest in her. The filming of The Story of Three Cities begins.

Then, in the interview, Zhang Wanting also gave out the reasons for her poor financing from the other side. The reporter asked her what would you do if investors wanted to change some plots or add some elements that the audience liked, Zhang Wanting said directly. I can not shoot.

But this is the character and persistence of literary film directors, so Qiao Feng has always disliked dealing with literary film directors. The only literary film director in his company now is Guan Jinpeng, and the reason for this existence is still because of him. His sexual orientation, many shots can make him take the shots and Qiao Feng will not mind to a certain extent. Another film by Guan Jinpeng often wins awards and makes money.

Zhang Wanting is absolutely willing to refuse her current account, but fortunately, Zhang Wanting came here because of the autumn fairy tale. Qiao Feng likes this movie, and Zhong Chuhong is still the heroine. Qiao Feng did not refuse, and directly agreed to invest in Zhang Wanting. , And Zhang Wanting is in charge.

For the classics in his mind, Qiao Feng went out to deal with the director of the literary film.

Seeing that Zhong Chuhong also expressed strong liking for this story, Qiao Feng felt that he had made a very correct decision.
