It doesn't make sense to have shots that are very wide. The phone has a lower visibility rate than television sets, there's ten frames in every second, so there's no need for big backgrounds. In this show, you should see the characters use their expressions. There's very little dialogue. Just a lot of close ups and gestures with a soundtrack that'll be added in editing. We're pursuing a dreamlike beauty.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Yu Enyuan, General Manager, XBell Technology Group\u003cbr/\u003eThere is little sense then in panoramic shots.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE (Mandarin) \u003cbr/\u003e\"If you did use wide shots, the characters would appear like ants on the screen so there's no need to do that.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Yu Enyuan, General Manager, XBell Technology Group\u003cbr/\u003eYu was able to get it off the ground when Korean electronics giant LG Electronics sponsored the project for exclusive rights on certain models of their mobile phones.\u003cbr/\u003eChina's mobile phone market is booming, with a population of users that the government says should surpass 400 million this year.\u003cbr/\u003eCompanies are rushing to cash in with services ranging from news and sports reports to horoscopes. \u003cbr/\u003eVideo mobile phones are still in its infancy in China. \u003cbr/\u003eThird generation, or 3G, phones aren't expected in China until later this year with a likely prohibitive price tag.\u003cbr/\u003eXBell Technologies remains unswayed. \u003cbr/\u003eThey plan to show three other mini-serials this year, covering other genres such as horror, suspense and action.\u003cbr/\u003eUPSOUND: Woman on crew shouting instructions\u003cbr/\u003eMeanwhile, Qu Yi, the director of \"Appointment,\" is grappling with creating a 25 minute drama.\u003cbr/\u003eThe story revolves around a love triangle between a woman and two motorcycle racers.\u003cbr/\u003eTo film such a short story, Qu Yi is using the experience he gained directing commercials for the likes of fast-food giant McDonalds.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE (Mandarin) \u003cbr/\u003e\"I use the skills I have from shooting adverts.
