Chapter 157 Microfilm Creative Contest (25)

Videos of horse-riding dances and space walks suddenly became popular overnight from abroad, and quickly spread to China.

Of course, there must be some handwriting from Tomato Satellite TV's "Sister Over Flowers" program group. After all, this kind of thing can't be covered up, and they won't want to cover it up.

Therefore, the news that Lin Xiao's original dance moves became famous overseas quickly spread in China.

Even Lin Xiao didn't expect that those two dance steps would bring him millions of popularity points.

His personal Weibo has also gained a lot of fans because of this.

Recently, many videos of netizens learning Lin Xiao's two dance steps have appeared on domestic video sites, especially the space walk, which is highly praised.

At this time, the first microfilm creative competition jointly organized by Huaxun Video Network and Huaguo Directors Association officially opened.

Except for Lin Xiao, a singer who can barely get a shot, the Lingxiaoge studio can be said to be poor before, and has no friendship with Huaxun Video Network. Naturally, it is impossible to get too many recommendations and publicity.

However, the micro-film itself has limited investment and limited profitability. Therefore, given the current financial situation of the Ling Xiao Pavilion, it is naturally impossible to spend too much money to buy advertising space for publicity.

However, this time, it was a coincidence, and luck was good luck. It just happened that Lin Xiao's original two dance steps became popular from abroad to China.

Although there is no systematic dance music and dance steps, the influence is a bit weaker, and no profit can be created, but Lin Xiao has gained a lot in terms of fame.

In fact, this microfilm creative competition has already started to solicit works as early as half a month ago.

By the time of the official opening, more than 600 short microfilms, commercials, MVs, etc. have been launched in the same period.

The influence is definitely there, ECCOM Video Network is also ambitious for the micro film creative competition, and wants to make this competition a long-term competition.

In the micro-movie creative competition, 20 films will be selected to enter the final round through the network click-through rate, audience voting and so on.

The final selection mechanism will be selected by professional directors, well-known actors, screenwriters, etc. through voting together.

Although the prize money is not much, once it is awarded, it will definitely get a lot of attention, which will naturally promote the popularity of the micro film and the revenue from advertising.

For many small directors, many small studios, unknown actors, etc., this is a very good opportunity.

Many times, when a work wants to be approved as a project, the biggest problem lies in the investment. You have no reputation, no representative works, and you cannot even enter the door of investors.

Therefore, many directors who are ambitious but lack channel resources are more likely to use micro-movies as a stepping stone to show themselves and enter the real film industry.

In fact, Ling Xiao Pavilion still has a little advantage in this regard, that is, Lin Xiao is the leading actor.

In contrast, most micro-movies rarely invite well-known actors and stars to star in. On the one hand, they cannot afford to invite them, and on the other hand, they are generally famous actors and stars, so they may not be popular.

So in this regard, the micro-movies of Ling Xiao Pavilion still have a lot of advantages, especially when Lin Xiao is just in a state of bursting popularity.

Lin Xiao's personal Weibo has a lot of followers, so in this respect, he still has certain advantages.

Of course, in other respects, "Beautiful Lies" has no advantages. First of all, Ling Xiao Pavilion does not have any recommended spots on ECCOM Video Network.

Although it is said that most of the micro-movies are small studios and stepping stones of unknown directors, this time is different.

Because this time, in order to expand the influence of the micro film creative competition, the competition specially invited a well-known director from Huaguo, Yang Kuo, as the chairman of the judges.

This is still second, the key is that if one can rank among the top three in the micro film competition, the director of the micro film will have the opportunity to serve as the assistant director of Yang Kuo's next film.

Being able to serve as an assistant director with Yang Kuo, even if it's just a decoration, is definitely a very good-looking resume for these unknown directors. At the same time, being able to learn from Yang Kuo is something that these people flock to.

For many people, the million-dollar bonus is not the key point. The key lies in being able to develop a relationship with Yang Kuo, and even learn from Yang Kuo's side. This is the key point.

Yang Kuo, famous film and television director, honorary vice president of Huaguo Beijing Film Academy, professor of director department, vice president of Huaguo Directors Association, director of Huaguo Film Critics Association
Yang Kuo is known as a great director of the Huaguo Palace. He not only teaches, but also continues to make movies, and has personally made many movie kings and actresses popular.

Among them is Zhou Ya, known as the most promising actress in Huaguo.

Unlike the bosses of some other film and television companies who serve as nominal judges, Director Yang Kuo insisted on watching the excellent works among them very seriously.

Not only has Yang Kuo won numerous awards in terms of art, but he is also the leading director in China in terms of commercial films.

Of course, he couldn't watch every one of the hundreds of nearly a thousand micro-movies and short films. What he watched were the ones that had a high click-through rate on the ECCOM video network, or which works were recommended to him by someone.

During this time, Yang Kuo would watch these micro movies and short films whenever he was free.

It also made him discover many excellent works, and the film he wants to watch today is a short film that has just been uploaded.

This short film was recommended to him by the promising Zhou Ya who was discovered by him.

The movie is called "Beautiful Lies", the director is a newcomer named Chen He, and the lead actor is somewhat famous, but he is a singer.

Of course, these are not important. Most of these micro film directors are newcomers, and so are the actors.

Directors at Yang Kuo's level don't pay much attention to these things.

Moreover, the micro-movie creative competition was originally aimed at discovering potential directors and actors.

Although it was recommended by Zhou Ya, Yang Kuo just took a tentative attitude. In fact, during this period of time, he has received some friends and students recommending short films to him. Some of them are really good, and some are messy. of.

Yang Kuo has a habit, that is, when watching other people's works, he likes to be like a film critic, holding a notebook and writing down some of his thoughts and comments while reading.

He wrote "Beautiful Lies" in his notebook, and then he opened Huaxun Video Network, searched for "Beautiful Lies", and began to watch it.

The story of the short film is not complicated. The scene illuminated by the light of the flashlight in the opening scene points out that this should be a story related to Christmas.

It turned out that the flashlight belonged to a thief. In the opening scene, through the flashlight and the character's actions, the audience was told that he was a thief, a burglar.

When the thief was flipping things, suddenly there was a sound behind him. It turned out to be a blind girl who was alone at home.

Although the opening of the story is very simple, that is, the burglar ran into the blind girl who was alone at home. At this time, Yang Kuo is no longer a big director, but an audience.

When he saw the thief taking out the knife, he couldn't help but start to worry about the little girl.
