Huayu Entertainment 1995 started with hijacking.

Chapter 26 is out!
Dou Wei released a song last year called "Advanced Animal," which used 48 words to describe humans as "advanced animals."

Therefore, after watching "Car 44", he felt a sense of resonance and inspiration, so he took the initiative to ask Wu Yuchen.

Upon hearing Dou Wei speak, Wu Yuchen was overjoyed. He hadn't forgotten the purpose of his trip, and immediately replied:

"Starting from the moment the male protagonist is kicked out of the car, I wanted a slightly eerie background music, not too complicated, as simple as possible, but powerful, the cult kind. This movie itself is full of absurdity and satire from beginning to end, so I wanted to highlight that..."

Wu Yuchen tried his best to describe the effect he wanted so that Dou Wei could understand his ideas.

"I have a feeling. After we finish eating, come with me and I'll go try it."

After Dou Wei finished speaking, he stuffed the remaining half of the fried dough stick into his mouth and began to chew it vigorously.

Wu Yuchen was overjoyed.

I never expected that this time I would get Master Dou to personally intervene. This is a sure thing!

After dinner, Wu Yuchen followed Dou Wei and Dou Peng to a recording studio after a series of twists and turns. They finished recording it in just one hour. He truly lives up to his reputation as the great Dou!

When Wu Yuchen mentioned money, Dou Wei waved his hand, knowing that students have it tough, and simply said to come visit often, and bring over anything interesting he filmed next time.

Wu Yuchen didn't hesitate any longer and readily agreed.

To be honest, he never expected that his trip to compose music today would lead him to meet so many masters, and the music composition went much more smoothly than anticipated, with the results being self-evident.

Having exceeded his task targets, Wu Yuchen quickly rushed back to the Youth Film Studio to join the post-production work.

This time, the entire film crew got involved. Everyone was very enthusiastic, working in shifts all night to finish the subtitles, sound effects, and mixing. They worked overtime over the weekend to get everything done.

Now there's only one last step: creating the master tape.

The master tape of a film reel is the highest quality of all versions. It must be made with special equipment and the materials are much better than ordinary copies. It is usually kept by the production company. What you see in theaters is actually a copy of this master tape, and the quality is a step lower.

The market price for making a film copy is between 10,000 and 12,000 yuan, while the price for making a master tape is typically 50,000 to 60,000 yuan, and can even reach hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Fortunately, "Car 44" is just a short film, 10 minutes long, but the final mastering will cost about 5000 yuan.

Wu Yuchen calculated that the initial filming cost 3 yuan, and the post-production of the master tape also reached that amount, totaling 2 yuan. Fortunately, Huang Lei gave him 5000 yuan to cover the cost.

After thinking about it, he spent another thousand yuan to request that a copy be made at the same time after the master tape was produced. He wanted to keep the master tape, but it would be better to use the copy when playing it to the public, since each playback would damage the master tape.

A few days later, on Thursday evening, at the Youth Film Studio.

When Wu Yuchen received the master tape and copy of "Car 44" from the staff, he couldn't help but feel excited. After all, this was the first movie he made after his rebirth, and it was the result of a lot of hard work.

Not to mention Jia Zhangke next to him, he wanted to go over and take the bag from Wu Yuchen and hug it, but he didn't dare to reach out.

Wu Yuchen simply handed him the copy, and Lao Jia immediately hugged it, as happy as a fool.

Fortunately, the short film "Car 44" is only 10 minutes long, and the copy is not heavy, so it was not a burden for Lao Jia to carry it by himself.

If it's a movie that's normally over 90 minutes long, the film print alone weighs over 25 kilograms. Being a movie projectionist these days is really physically demanding; even women with weaker constitutions can't do it.

When they came out, the film crew swarmed around them, many staring intently at the master tapes and copies they were carrying, their eyes gleaming, and exclaiming:
"Director Wu, hurry up and find a place to show it to everyone! If we don't see it tonight, no one will be able to sleep!" "That's right! We've been waiting for this for so long!"

They were involved in the entire process of creating this film from scratch, from fundraising to production. It was like watching their own child being born; they all wanted to see what the work they had poured their sweat and blood into would look like in the end.

Wu Yuchen raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said:

"Everyone, I want to see it before any of you, but it's definitely too late to apply for a screening room today."

I'll go back right now and apply for the school's screening room. Tomorrow night at 7 pm, invite all your classmates and friends over, and let's witness the release of "Car 44" together!

"Good!" someone shouted.

However, after a moment, someone hesitated and said:

"Director, how about we watch it behind closed doors first?"
"What if we call everyone from the school and it doesn't work? We'll be incredibly embarrassed..."

At this moment, Old Jia stepped forward. He had seen the crude version of the videotape before, so he was full of confidence and patted his chest, saying:
"I, Lao Jia, am putting this out there: if 'Car 44' doesn't perform well when it's screened tomorrow, I'll run naked around the track ten times!"

Old Jia's imposing manner immediately intimidated many hesitant people, and the surrounding area fell silent.

"Pah, Lao Jia, who wants to see you running around naked! Aren't you afraid of getting a sty?" Qi Jing laughed and scolded.

Her words made everyone laugh, and the atmosphere immediately eased.

Wu Yuchen also took a step forward and assured everyone:
"Don't worry, everyone, I have a lot of confidence in 'Car 44'!"

Tomorrow I'm not only going to call my classmates, but I'm also going to call all the teachers in the department!
Let them know that our time at film school wasn't wasted!

After Wu Yuchen and Lao Jia's speeches, everyone made up their minds to start recruiting people to attend tomorrow's screening tonight.

Wu Yuchen, on the other hand, headed straight for Huang Lei.

Huang Lei couldn't hide his joy as he looked at the movie master tape and copy that Wu Yuchen and Jia Zhangke were holding.

As long as the movie "Car 44" is made, then the 5000 yuan he invested will not have been wasted!
After listening to Wu Yuchen's idea, Huang Lei asked:

"Are you sure you really want to call all the teachers?"

Wu Yuchen nodded confidently.

He understood very well that the school treated ordinary students and gifted students very differently, at least in terms of the degree of freedom they enjoyed.

If you are a genius, the school teachers will be very lenient with you, especially since filmmaking is an art form that requires space and freedom.

Wu Yuchen wanted to use this opportunity to prove himself to the school, establish himself as a genius director, and pave the way for his future. That way, no matter what he wanted to do as a genius director in the future, the school would give him free rein.

Huang Lei saw that Wu Yuchen was adamant: "Fine, come with me."
