  • 'Heat Wave'- first time as a producer!

    Wednesday, Aug 24, 2011 11:47AM / Members only


    'Heat Wave' is a short comedy of 25mn which I am producing at the moment. It's about a retired old Beijinger who lives in a Hutong with his wife, they barely have enough money to live everyday life. In a hot summer, his wife left home and the only way for her to come back is for him to get an air-conditioner. Our 'Chen', the lead, then goes out to find a free air-conditioner.

    Tuomas, the director, wrote the script after been living in Beijing for two years.

    We started working on pre-production related issues in May and finished shooting 3 weeks ago, shooting lasted for 10 days.

    As a first time producer, I found myself really lucky as I found some really great crew members to work with. When I started to look around for crew members, a friend of mine suggested I go to 传媒大学 (Chinese broadcast school, I maybe wrong about the English name) to find people who could be interested in the film, as we have a very low budget and cannot afford professionals.

    I posted an ad, and guess what, few days later, I found most of the crew members from the school! Among those people, our sound recorder Liu Lu, our AD Guo Ruo, Marker Zhongyiying, camera assistant Sergio Rufini ( who left the production earlier because his mother's illness, hope all the best for him), were all very responsible, hardworking people, and know what they were doing.

    Tuomas and I both invested in the film and we basically had to do everything by ourselves as we have got no help especially from the beginning. For a 25mn short, we had 6 main locations and few minor ones. I worked as the Location Manager, scouted around the city, then as the Casting Director to look for actors, then translated the script to Chinese and even worked as the markup artist for some shots.

    As for Tuomas, he worked as the Director and cinematographer at the same time.

     In this kind of independent film, you just have to do everything by yourself and keep an eye on everything, otherwise, things may go wrong and you may end up not meeting your deadline or even worse - stop the production.

    It's a good thing when you had to do everything yourself, you learn a great deal of all aspects of film making, even a a short film like this can prepare you for greater things in the future.

    'Heat Wave' is now in post-production stage. Our aim is to apply for short film festivals when we finish editing, then sale it of course!!!!

    This is our crew ( three are missing) & some of the actors!  From left to right, last row to front: Yang Yue ( Production assistant), A Wei ( actor), Liu Xia Qing ( Our lead actor), Frank ( actor), Justin ( Actor), Wang Xu Dong ( Actor), Husain ( camera assistant), Wan Yuan ( Actress), Wu Jia Xiao ( Actress), Tuomas ( Director), Me ( Producer), Zhong Yi Ying ( Marker), Liu Lu( Sound recordist), Guo Ruo ( AD), Cheng Bing Ying( production assistant)





    More production photos and news are coming!!!

  • Update since last year....

    Tuesday, Aug 16, 2011 5:06PM / Members only

    It's been more than a year since my last post, hope all is well... A lot had happened since June 2010, first of all, I had a job as a dialogue coach for a Chinese TV star Jiang Qin Qin, as she was playing Madame Chiang Kai Shek and she needed to speak English in the show. It was a TV series and also my first time involved in a Chinese TV production....

    距离上次的更新已经一年多了,你们好吗?在这段时间里,发生了很多的事情。首先就是我有幸给演员蒋勤勤女士做英语台词教练和配音,她在电视剧‘中国1945’里面演宋美龄,需要英语演出。我在这个剧组跟她到拍完她的戏份,这也是我第一次跟中国的电视剧组,感觉很新鲜。


    Here is a pic of me and Qin Qin (蒋勤勤)
    这是我和勤勤在重庆拍摄的时候照的一张照片。




    Then I worked with Finnish director Tuomas Hakala ( we later developed 'Heat Wave' together) on a short film as an actress. It was a nice short story. I played a mom of a 5-year old.
    接下来,我跟芬兰导演寒山(我们之后还有合作)合作了一部7分钟左右的短片,在短片里面我演一个妈妈。

    Here is a pic of me and the actor who played my son. Cute boy.
    这是我和演我儿子的小演员,帅帅。




    接下来还有更新哦。stay tuned!
