During the summer vacation of 20 10, Langshan successfully applied for the World Heritage. Being in Chengdu, I felt very happy when I heard the news for the first time. I immediately quit my job and rushed to the school to organize various activities at my own expense to congratulate Langshan on its successful application for the World Heritage. Then I took photos and banners of Wolf Mountain and went to many places, such as Chengdu, Guiyang, Chongqing, Luzhou, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and so on. Many film directors, actors and other social celebrities were also invited to Langshan to send video greetings.
Later, I returned to Wolf Mountain with information. Director Wang Haiyun of Langguan Office, Director Zhou Guangqiao of Tourism Bureau and Deputy Director Deng Kaili all gave great affirmation and encouragement to my volunteer work, and awarded me the title of "Langshan Tourism Promoter". Since then, I have a special name: "Xiao Li Junjie".
20 1 1, all the parties and activities planned or directed by me are titled "Wolf Mountain Love ...", and every activity will be specially invited to sing a song "Wolf Mountain Red", and there will definitely be Wolf Mountain scenery on the big screen. In this way, wherever I go, there will be many people full of curiosity and yearning for Langshan. During this period, dozens of friends followed me all the way to Langshan for sightseeing.
On May 3, 20 12, I established "Tiancheng Juxing Film and Television Culture Studio". And a group of like-minded friends, under the guidance of the teacher, created the movie script "Love between Life and Death in Langya Mountain". Leslie Cheung's fans were mentioned in the script, and 20 13 was the tenth anniversary of his death, so it was introduced by friends in the industry and quickly won the favor of a Hong Kong film and television company. I invested hundreds of thousands in advance and bought my script at a high price, provided that I bought the copyright, and the investor had the right to sign the script and strongly demanded to change the title of the film. The reason is ".
Speaking of the above two points, I hesitated. Since this script has such high commercial value, and I have also created a studio, which can integrate the surrounding resources, why not try to make a movie myself? So I made up my mind to be a producer myself, raising money everywhere and preparing for the preliminary work of the film. Because this film is the first work in my studio and my graduation work, many friends, teachers and schoolmates in the industry are very supportive of me and have promised to help me shoot it for free. So I just need to consider the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the machine and the crew.
During the summer vacation, I returned to Langshan with my own film planning scheme. The strong support of Xinning County Party Committee and government gave me greater confidence and motivation. As soon as my parents heard that my son was coming back to make a movie in winter, they immediately went to the county town and bought a chicken farm at 100, saying that they supported me and could only start with food. Soon, a liquor company in Luzhou, a Chinese wine city, supported college students' entrepreneurship and promised to sponsor us for 500 thousand. Although it is not much compared with a movie, it is enough for me to shoot in the early stage.
Unforeseen things happened. One month before the film is expected to start shooting, liquor sponsors have no choice but to withdraw their funds because of the liquor plasticizer incident. This bolt from the blue immediately put our studio in deep trouble. When we get impatient, we will try our best to find investment sponsors everywhere. At the same time, a group of post-90 s children pulled up banners and took to the streets to raise money ... Seeing that the boot time is approaching day by day, we also pulled some money piecemeal, which is far from enough to make a film.
Since we have persisted in this step, none of us have thought of giving up. During the school winter vacation, our studio members came to Xinning as scheduled. Dozens of people live and eat in my country home. They get up early and get greedy every day, making all the preparatory work for shooting. At this time, I am still soliciting sponsorship and looking for investment.
Until the Chinese New Year approached, I still got nothing. I watched the chickens raised by my parents grow up, and the people in the studio ate chickens every day without complaining ... because of me, they trudged all the way; Because of me, I am tired of running around every day; Because of me, a pair of expectant eyes; Because of me, I sigh helplessly. How can I let them down? How can you let them down?
Three days before the Chinese New Year, I was completely tired and exhausted ... In the dead of night, people in our studio sat together, and I gently asked, "Who wants to go home for the Chinese New Year?" After a long silence, we all cried ... we said nothing and hugged each other tightly. The next day, I sent them to buy tickets. Xinjiang, Shaanxi, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Henan ... How many times do my relatives have to change trains to go home? Can we make it to New Year's Eve? I promised them again: "On the tenth day of the first month, we will turn on the phone! I hope every one of you can come back again! "
All the friends on the set got on the bus, but I didn't leave the station because I had to pick up other friends who had just arrived to help me shoot the film. I dare not say that the film is not ready in the early stage. I can only say that everyone I put in the studio has gone home for the New Year, and this time it won't change ... Most of my friends who come to help with filming work in the Beijing crew, and I'm going to shoot one every month. They all lost their jobs and rushed to Xinning from all directions to celebrate the New Year here ... I can only have a drink with them at my home during the New Year to repay them.
Just after the New Year, my uncle regularly took out the 30,000 yuan due from my grandmother in a few months, which was my grandmother's life savings. Similarly, the only 10,000 yuan of single mothers in sister-in-law's family is also taken out regularly; Plus all my parents' savings; All the savings of uncles and aunts; Building houses during menstruation; My uncle borrowed it from others; Cousin Cousin buys a house and marries a daughter-in-law ... less than a week, 300 thousand. I can start making movies!
On the sixth day of the first month, the studio members and teachers and friends who came to help came one after another, and the family couldn't stay. My dad rented an unfinished building next door, and a crew of dozens of people stayed, so we didn't have to worry about eating, because our family had 100 chickens ... but we didn't dare to waste a second on machines, lenses, lighting, lighting engineers and thousands of dollars a day.
During the filming, everyone worked hard and was very excited, and the whole family followed me. Mom followed us to the shooting scene during the day and got off work at three in the morning. She got up at 4: 30 and cooked breakfast for dozens of people. Dad, uncle, aunt ... also became the drudgery of the crew. For my wish-shooting Langshan Mountain, the crew carried dozens of kilograms of rocker arms, tripods and lens boxes, bypassed the nearest Buddhist temple and climbed to the top of Bajiaozhai Mountain to shoot the temple.
In this way, we traveled around the clock for more than ten days. On March 8, 20 13, our film was cut in a hurry. We sent the machine back to Beijing overnight because it was delayed by thousands of dollars a day. The crew members left Xinning one after another. I should have quoted them the fare, but I had the money and returned it. ...
Hundreds of thousands have been used up in the early stage. I went to Beijing to do post-production of the film, with only 30 thousand yuan left, and I continued to raise money while editing in Beijing ...
I feel guilty about this movie! If I work harder, if I have100000 yuan ... because of the rush of time and lack of funds, I dare not think about all the regrets brought by this movie. Everything is difficult at the beginning, and I don't regret my choice at all. At least I left the word "Wolf Mountain" in the title. Secondly, for me, I can take a group of post-90 s children in the studio, take this extremely difficult first step and walk through her completely. I think I have gained something. I think these experiences can't be measured by money. # Drunk or not, I'm still me.
# You have a red one and a yellow one, which is quite traditional.
# dusty fate, everything is empty, and the poor monk's name is far away.
# Love comes from the heart, and home comes from itself. Love fails, and home is hard to come back. Let it be.
# Faith is better than difficulties at home. Maybe you will find your home on the way to find your home.
# I still don't understand.
It's not that I don't understand, it doesn't hurt. When you know what pain is, you will understand.
# What are you typing, so excited?
I hate that general.
Why do you hate generals?
He shouldn't separate his daughter from the general.
That's just a legend!
Legend can also make people feel sad.
You shouldn't have let me hear it.
People who don't know think I am happy. Only I can feel the loneliness of living in the crowd.
Habit becomes nature, and I have long forgotten what it feels like to be alone.
The taste of loneliness is the pain of missing each other from a distance every day, and the acid of hope in every dream.
# You look like him, so you miss him and he misses you, so he looks like you.
I promised to go home with him.
How can we miss each other without caring about parting? If you don't suffer from lovesickness, how can you know that friendship is important? Why are you in love but afraid of separation? I'm afraid there is a way home in the mountains.
Master, I, I want to burn dragon head incense myself.
Gather with fate, disperse with fate, and hate not to live with fate. Let it all be.
# Far, far, is it worth it? You are not with me, but you are in my heart, far away.
# I have found my family, but I still want to find a home!
# Sister, I'm scared. I strongly feel the fear and anxiety I have never had before. Can this place, which has been bothering me for fourteen years, be inclusive?
# What makes people suffocate is not gossip, but my invisible courage.
# In another space, we leave the heavy suitcase and live freely, but sometimes we miss our mother.
