Chapter 487: Web Drama and Micro Movie
No one will make a loss-making transaction.
This so-called '12 degrees of youth' Lin Chen is on the one hand to expand traffic for Tomato Video, and on the other hand, he wants to sign talents.
The current Spark Film and Television is really short of people.
Lack of directors.
There are not many artists Lin Chen at present, and it is good that a bunch of artists are also competing in their own competitions, but for Lin Chen, there are still fewer directors after all.
In the past two years, Lin Chen is going to write a few more books, and then let Xinghuo Film and Television at least bloom everywhere.
As early as the beginning, Lin Chen asked Du Wei to pay attention.
Let's see, who is worth cultivating and who is negotiable.
Du Wei was also prepared, she said: "The momentum of the micro-film "The Great Sage is Dead" is very good, and the director of this micro-film is directed by Hu Tian, but he is very talented. ”
Speaking, Du Wei also gave a brief introduction to Hu Tian's information.
Lin Chen had a brief look at this micro-movie before.
It should be a tragedy.
To put it simply, Sun Wukong was killed by Rulai when he was the real and false Monkey King, and then in the end, it was only the fake Wukong who went to learn the scriptures.
But in the end, when he died, the great sage was tragic.
He wanted to change something.
But in the end, he found that nothing could change.
We have said before that the IP of 'Journey to the West' will never die.
Lin Chen also always believes that the IP of 'Journey to the West' will definitely get bigger and bigger.
This is Huaxia.
The monkey is the eternal hero in everyone's heart.
"What about the other one?"
Lin Chen asked after listening to Du Wei.
Du Wei smiled: "Another person is a little special, his name is Xiao Ping, and the micro-film he shot is called "The Forgotten Man". ”
Lin Chen was interested: "How special?"
Du Wei then briefly talked about Xiao Ping.
In general, Xiao Ping and Hu Tian are still a bit similar, because Xiao Ping is 35 years old this year, and he was also an advertising director before, but he did more miscellaneous.
At the beginning, in order to be famous, he also went to participate in the competition as a singer, according to Xiao Ping's idea, I have to be an idol singer.
As a result, they knocked him down in the first round.
Later, Xiao Ping also made a special combination, called 'Unadmitting Defeat Combination'.
And then there is no use for eggs.
It's still been knocked down.
Later, at his age, people didn't want him to participate in the draft anymore.
Then no one likes the micro-films he makes, and he can't get investment even if he wants to make other films.
It's just that he is still high-spirited, so he doesn't even accept commercials, occasionally shoots some photography, and most of the time he stays in his rental house and wants to make movies.
In short, a weirdo.
But Du Wei said: "But this movie shot by Xiao Ping is very good at capturing people's hearts, and it has always been shot with one shot, and I think this skill is three points stronger than me." ”
These are the two people Du Wei chose from the middle of the competition.
The others haven't seen anything yet.
Since this is the case, Lin Chen also smiled and said: "Then you contact these two people, and I will meet them at 2 o'clock in the afternoon." ”
"??? in such a hurry"
Du Wei said: "Don't wait a little longer?"
"No need, '12 degrees of youth' has been around for almost a while, and it should be time to come out and deepen it again. ”
Lin Chen waved his hand slightly and said, "And I just have two books that I need them to shoot first, so they can be regarded as practicing their hands." ”
"Okay, I'll go find them now. ”
Du Wei said busily.
……
A studio.
After Hu Tian finished his work, he quickly opened the tomato video, and he looked at the ranking of his works and was a little helpless.
The ranking is okay.
But I just don't know if I can get the attention of Xinghuo Film and Television.
He really wanted to learn from Lin Chen.
But the people around him persuaded him to dispel this idea.
What do you think?
Just the fucking success you want to make in the middle of nowhere?
Want to make a movie with Lin Chen?
How can it be?
Inexistent.
As for everyone's thinking, it seems to be getting more and more right.
It's been so long, and I haven't received a contact number from Xinghuo Film and Television, and Hu Tian is about to accept his fate.
Suddenly, Hu Tian's mobile phone rang.
"Hello, I'm Xinghuo Film and Television Du Wei. ”
Listening to the voice on the phone, Hu Tian was dumbfounded, until the voice rang again on the other end of the phone, this Hu Tiancai said as if he had come to life: "Okay, okay, I know, I'll be on time at 2 o'clock in the afternoon." ”
After hanging up the phone, Hu Tian couldn't help but jump.
Hahaha.
He wanted to look up to the sky and smile.
Who the fuck said they weren't to be treated by Lin Chen?
Who the fuck said they wouldn't get a call from Xinghuo Films?
……
At the same time, Xiao Ping, who was in the rental house, also received a call.
Xiao Ping also said: "I will definitely arrive on time." ”
2 p.m.
Xiao Ping and Hu Tian arrived at Xinghuo Film and Television on time, and the two didn't know each other, so no one cared about anyone.
Lin Chen called Hu Tian over first, and then asked, "Do you have any other works besides "The Great Sage is Dead"?"
"I have a few books, but they haven't been filmed, and they're not very perfect. ”
Hu Tian saw that Lin Chen was a little nervous, and then said with a slight stumble.
"That means you don't have any works other than "The Great Sage is Dead"?"
Lin Chen said with a slight frown.
This remark made Hu Tian even more nervous, and he hurriedly said: "Director Lin, I just don't have enough funds, you believe me, if I have enough funds, I will definitely be able to shoot better works." ”
"Hehe, don't be nervous. ”
Lin Chen smiled and said, "Let me ask, apart from works like "The Great Sage is Dead", what themes do you like?"
"Actually, Director Lin, I have always had a dream, that is, to shoot a youth-themed TV series. ”
Hu Tian pondered it and said: "And I still miss campus dramas." ”
"That's right. ”
Lin Chen looked at Hu Tian and suddenly made a decision.
He took out a script from his drawer and threw it to Hu Tian: "You take a look at this first." ”
"Huh?
Hu Tian suddenly froze when he saw this.
Screenplay??
He also hurriedly looked at it.
"The first day of college. Lu Qiaochuan, who has always thought that he is more negative, took a taxi to school with reluctance, and in the taxi, Lu Qiaochuan met his homeroom teacher Ye Jiping, and Jiping saw that Hashikawa was depressed, concealed his identity from Hashikawa, and quietly told Hashikawa a secret - someone in the class had an extra ear.
Hashikawa started his first day with the task of finding his ears.
At the same time, Zhong Bai and Ren Yifan, who came from the same high school as Lu Qiaochuan and became college classmates, arrived at the school ahead of schedule, and the cheerful and straightforward Zhong Bai originally took a train with Lu Qiaochuan, but because he was dissatisfied with Lu Qiaochuan's behavior on the train, Zhong Bai was angry and took a taxi to the school alone.
Zhong Bai scolded Lu Qiaochuan all the way, calling him a pervert.
Zhong Bai said that he came to the door of the dormitory with Ren Yifan, and saw the girl's name - Zhong Bai, Lin Luoxue, Li Shuci, Gu Yixin, Zhong Bai introduced to Ren Yifan - Lin Luoxue was the feminine girl she met on the train.
Zhong Bai and Ren Yifan met their roommate Li Shuci, who didn't like to talk, in the girls' dormitory, and Ren Yifan showed great interest in Li Shuci's appearance.
At the gate of the school, Lu Qiaochuan met Gu Yixin, and after finding out that it was a classmate, Qiao Chuan quietly checked Yixin's ears.
Later, Qiao Chuan, who had never seen his dormitory roommate, asked a boy with a thin voice to borrow paper in the toilet, and then found that the boy's name was Yu Hao, who was in the same class and even in the same dormitory, and at the same time Lu Qiaochuan found that Xiao Haiyang, the unruly boy he knew by the bullet train, was also a dormitory classmate.
And Hashikawa touched the heads of all the boys in the dormitory at the risk of being regarded as a psychopathy by everyone...... The first class meeting was held that night, and the head teacher Ye Jiping made a lengthy opening statement, and Hashikawa was dumbfounded when he saw Jihei, and then found out that he had been deceived.
……
Looking at this script, Hu Tian also read it very seriously.
Yes.
This script is "Together Through the Window".
The play tells the story of Lu Qiaochuan, Zhong Bai, and Ren Yifan, three childhood sweethearts, who were classmates all the way, and were admitted to the same university, and met new classmates one after another.
This drama was launched on Tencent Video in 2016, and it was the most surprising online drama that year.
Although they are all newcomers, it does not affect the success of this script in the slightest.
Because every character in the play can let the audience see the shadow of the familiar people around them, and the military training, clubs, English grading, and exam failures shown in the play are also indispensable scenery in college life.
Lin Chen just gave Hu Tian a five-episode script and a follow-up script synopsis.
After all, some plots need to be replaced.
Of course, this is not a problem for Lin Chen.
As for Hu Tian, he has been completely integrated into the script.
He really admired Lin Chen.
This casually took out a script, but it was so wonderful.
The script's portrayal of the university is simply too real.
Especially the jokes are simply funny.
Hu Tian didn't read it quickly, it took almost an hour to finish it, but Lin Chen was not in a hurry.
On the contrary, Xiao Ping, who was waiting outside, was very nervous inside, he is 35 years old this year.
To be honest, Xiao Ping felt that he couldn't afford to lose.
Although he really doesn't want to live his life in a mess, if there is really no way, then he can only accept his fate.
This time, the 12-degree youth of Tomato Video is an opportunity for Xiao Ping, and it is like a life-saving opportunity.
He had to catch.
But the man named Hu Tian had been in for an hour.
Why hasn't it come out yet?
At this time, in Lin Chen's office, Hu Tian also raised his head and said in a somewhat incredulous tone: "Lin, Lin, Director Lin, do you mean that this web drama will be filmed by me?"
"Yes, I'll leave it to you, how about it?"
Lin Chen said with a smile: "Are you confident?"
"Yes. ”
Hu Tian's voice suddenly increased.
I've been waiting for so many years, what are you waiting for?
Isn't it just an opportunity?
Now that the opportunity is in front of us, how can there be any reason to retreat?
"Okay, you go back and study the script first, and it's no problem to sign a contract with Xinghuo Film and Television later. ”
Lin Chen said and said that he had doubled his conditions.
"No problem, no problem. ”
Hu Tian said again and again.
That's when the fool said there was a problem.
can be a director, can direct an online drama, Hugh said that he signed a contract, even if he sells himself.
So, the excited Hu Tian left, and then Xiao Ping, who looked apprehensive, came in.
Lin Chen took out another script from the drawer and threw it to Xiao Ping: "You take a look first." ”
Xiao Ping, who was also confused, began to look at it.
"Xiao Dabao was a hooligan leader when he was a student, and he once bullied many people, including Wang Xiaoshuai and Bao Xiaobai. But because Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai have the same music dream, they became friends in the future. When they were students, they loved the king of dance, and became a popular "idol" on campus because of their imitation of the king of dance. At the same time, the love life of another protagonist, Wang Xiaoshuai, has also experienced some twists and turns. A fat girl named Hao Fang has been secretly in love with Wang Xiaoshuai, but Wang Xiaoshuai is deeply fond of the school flower.
Time is like flowing water, and more than 20 years have passed in a blink of an eye. At this time, Xiao Dabao became a crappy wedding host, while Wang Xiaoshuai became the owner of a barber shop and married the fat girl Hao Fang.
They live a plain life like water. Until one day, when Xiao Dabao was driving on the street, he scraped someone else's car because of lack of concentration. The bodyguard of this car owner is going to trouble Xiao Dabao. Coincidentally, the owner of the car appeared at this time, and he was Xiao Dabao's high school classmate Bao Xiaobai. At this time, Bao Xiaobai was no longer an ordinary gangster, he was no longer a gangster who was bullied by Xiao Dabao back then, but became a TV producer, and married the school girl of the year. Old classmates, so Xiao Dabao was no longer held accountable for scratching the car, and gave Xiao Dabao a business card, and told Xiao Dabao that if he wanted to continue his music dream, he could go to his show "Happy Boys".
……
Xiao Ping, who watched this script, suddenly became more heartbroken.
Because he felt that it was simply saying himself.
When he was a student, he Xiao Ping was very popular in school, and everyone called him Brother Xiao when they saw him.
But what is he messing up now?
Some of the things he looked down on were quite good mixes, and there was an ugly guy who married his favorite girl, who was also their first-class school girl.
Who do you go to?
So, that's life.
You don't think you're the main character.
You may not even be as good as a passerby.
As for Xiao Ping, who finished reading the script, he also raised his head and said, "Director Lin, what do you mean?"
"Is it okay for you to direct and act in this script?"
Lin Chen asked Xiao Ping, "Your singing skills haven't fallen behind, right?" ”
