Chapter 160: Micro Film Creative Contest (2/5)

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

Of course, there must also be the handiwork of Tomato Satellite TV's "Sister Over Flowers" program team, after all, this kind of thing can't be covered, and they won't want to cover it.

Therefore, the news that Lin Xiao's original dance steps 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 seen a lot of fans rise as a result.

Recently, many netizens have also appeared on domestic video websites to learn Lin Xiao's two dance steps, especially the space step is highly respected.

At this time, the first micro-film creative competition jointly organized by ECCOM Video Network and Huaguo Directors Association was officially opened.

Except for Lin Xiao, a singer who can barely take a shot, Lingxiao Pavilion Studio can be said to be poor and white before, and he has no friendship with ECCOM Video Network, so it is naturally impossible to get too many recommendations and publicity.

The micro-film itself has limited investment and limited profitability, so with the current state of Lingxiao Pavilion, it is naturally impossible to spend too much money to buy advertising space for publicity.

However, this time it is also a coincidence, and it is also good luck to say that it is lucky, and it happened to meet Lin Xiao's two original dance steps that became popular from abroad to China.

Although there is no systematic dance music with dance steps, the influence is a little worse, and it has not been able to create any profits, but in terms of fame, Lin Xiao has gained a lot.

In fact, this time the micro-film creative contest began to collect works as early as half a month ago.

By the time of the official opening, more than 600 short films, advertising short films, MV short films, etc. had been launched at the same time.

The influence is definitely there, and ECCOM Video Network is also ambitious for the Micro Film Creative Competition, and wants to make this event a long-term event.

In the Micro Film Creative Competition, 20 films will be selected to enter the final finals through network clicks, audience voting, etc.

The selection mechanism for the finals will be voted by professional directors, well-known actors, screenwriters, etc.

Although the prize money is not much, once it wins the award, it will definitely get a lot of attention, which will naturally promote the popularity of the micro-film, as well as the advertising revenue sharing.

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

Many times, if you want to set up a project, the biggest problem is investment, you have no fame, no masterpiece, and you can't even enter the door of the investor.

Therefore, many directors who are ambitious but lack channel resources are more likely to use micro-films 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, the starring role is Lin Xiao.

In contrast, most micro-movies rarely invite well-known actors and stars to star, on the one hand, they can't afford to be invited, and on the other hand, they are ordinary famous actors and stars, and they may not be able to watch them.

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

Lin Xiao's personal Weibo has a lot of followers, so in this regard, there are still certain advantages.

Of course, in other aspects, "Beautiful Lies" has no advantages, first of all, Ling Xiao Pavilion has no recommendation on ECCOM Video Network.

Although most of the micro films are the stepping stones of some small studios and 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 Chinese director, Yang Kuo, as the chairman of the judges.

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

Being able to follow Yang Kuo as an assistant director, even if it is just a decoration, is definitely an extremely good-looking resume for these unknown directors, and at the same time, being able to learn from Yang Kuo is something that these people are eager to do.

For many people, the million-dollar prize is not the key, the key is to be able to get in touch with Yang Kuo, and even be able to learn from Yang Kuo, which is the key.

Yang Kuo, a famous film and television director, honorary vice president of Huaguo Jingcheng Film Academy, professor of the Department of Directing, vice president of the Huaguo Directors Association, and director of the Huaguo Film Critics Association......

Yang Kuo is known as a great director at the palace level of Huaguo, not only teaching, but also continuing to make movies, and personally won many popular actors.

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

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

Yang Kuo not only has won numerous awards at the artistic level, but also is also the leading director in China in terms of commercial films.

Of course, he can't watch every one of the hundreds of nearly 1,000 micro-movies and short films, he watches those works that have a high click-through rate on ECCOM Video, or who recommended which work to him.

During this time, Yang Kuo will watch these micro-movies and short films whenever he is free.

It also made him discover a lot of 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 excavated by him.

The film is called "Beautiful Lies", and the director is a newcomer, named Chen He, and the starring role is somewhat famous, but he is a singer.

Of course, none of this matters, most of these micro-film directors are newcomers, and the same is true for the actors.

Directors at the level of Yang Kuo don't pay so much attention to these.

Moreover, the Micro Film Creative Contest is designed to tap potential directors and actors.

Although it was recommended by Zhou Ya, Yang Kuo just had the attitude of taking a look, in fact, during this time, he did not receive a few short films from friends and students to recommend to him, some of which were really good, and some were a mess.

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

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

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

It turns out that the flashlight is a thief's, and the opening scene is through the flashlight, through the character's action behavior, telling the audience that he is a thief, a burglar.

The thief was flipping things when suddenly there was a noise behind him, and it turned out to be a blind girl who was home alone.

Although the beginning of the story is very simple, that is, the burglary thief bumps into a blind girl who is alone at home, Yang Kuo at this time is no longer a big director, but an audience.

When he saw the thief take out the knife, he couldn't help but start worrying about the little girl.
