Chapter 395, "Friends"!
In the blink of an eye, June. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Every year, the graduation season is sad.
From the Internet to real life, there are related words everywhere.
On this day, a video suddenly became popular on the Internet.
This short video is the micro-film made by Li Zhifan, called "Friend, Cheers!".
Behind the popularity, in addition to the video content and two songs, there are also various forces to add fuel to the fire, many big V accounts are on the horse together, many old actors in the circle help forward, and the five official blogs of Tsing Beer Group also help promote.
Go back to the day before.
The 20th anniversary reunion of the 93rd class of fermentation engineering major of the School of Light Industry.
After 20 years, most of my life has passed, and everything that should have been broken out has been broken out, and what has not been broken out is plain and bland, and I have a good life.
And among the students who broke out and mixed well, many of them stood at the top of the world.
For example, Sun Qimeng, the chairman of Tsing Beer, is the world's No. 1 beer king.
There are also the general managers and chairmen of the two beer groups in the world, the second and sixth in terms of sales, who also graduated from this department, and there are also several who are not in this industry, but have reached the peak of their lives.
Although it is about classmates, comparisons are inevitable.
Especially these rich and successful people, they must always show it, otherwise they don't meet their identity.
However, the way in which successful people and ordinary nouveau riche are exposed is certainly different.
Some donated to the school, some arranged some projects of this class reunion, some directly chartered hotels, and even some hotels were opened by old classmates, and they directly cleared the venue in the past few days to arrange accommodation for students who came back from other places.
Perhaps only Sun Qimeng's way of expression is more unique.
At the beginning of the evening banquet, Sun Qimeng came to the stage as an outstanding student representative and said directly: "Hello everyone, students, teachers, and school leaders! For this party, I have prepared a special gift, please look at the big screen!"
After saying it briefly, Sun Qimeng stepped down.
On the big LED screen behind the podium, four big words appeared - Friends, Cheers!
Then there was a crackling keyboard sound, and the following word by word appeared - to the school leaders of the School of Light Industry, the old principal Mr. Zhou Wenhuai, all the teachers of the 93rd class of fermentation engineering, and the teachers of classes 1-7 XXX and XX teachers...... And all the students!
After all the shots, I entered the micro-movie.
The front is the part that Sun Qimeng has seen before, and in this process, he did not repeat it, but observed the expressions of everyone on the field.
Especially those who are rich and powerful, as well as the teachers and school leaders.
The appearance of Hu Lei and a group of old actors shocked everyone's spirits.
In fact, from the beginning, everyone had guessed that it was probably a micro-movie, or a documentary, but they didn't expect to invite a star to act, which is not only money, but also connections and relationships.
When "Cheers" sounded on the playground, those actors showed expressions of remembrance and excitement, and the trembling hands and tearful eyes in the camera moved everyone in the audience.
It's the same as when Sun Qimeng watched it before.
Seeing this scene, Sun Qimeng nodded with satisfaction, it seemed that his plan had succeeded.
In the video.
Hu Lei wiped the corners of his eyes, looked back at the middle-aged woman behind him, and the two smiled again, compared with the smile just now, there was no embarrassment.
"How are you doing now?"
Hu Lei walked up and asked actively.
"Hmm!" the woman nodded, "what about you?"
"It's still the same!" Hu Lei said, "You haven't changed much, you're still as beautiful as before!"
"You too!" the woman smiled, "You haven't been left behind in this fitness, have you?"
The two chatted, and the picture turned again, and it became yellowed black and white again, and the memory returned to the beginning.
From here, it's the part that Sun Qimeng hasn't seen yet, so he took it very seriously, and substituted the actor again.
on the pitch.
Fu Biao and a few young students galloped, and the football under their feet was passed around.
The girl next to her shouted, "Come on!"
When a ball was successfully scored into the goal, the young students of Fu Biao's team gathered together excitedly, shouting the joy of victory.
"Yay, we won!"
"Haha, the championship is ours!"
Among the students watching around, the girls led by Bai Qingqing also cheered.
The picture turned again, Fu Biao led more than a dozen other members of the football team to stand in the field, accept the trophies and pennants awarded by the school, and then sang together:
"Over the years, a person, the wind has passed, the rain has gone, there have been tears, there have been mistakes, remember what to insist on......"
This song "Friends" was heard before Sun Qimeng.
At that time, his first impression was that the song was too old, and the style of the eighties and nineties was not conducive to the brand impression that Tsingtao Beer wanted to make at this stage.
But now when I listen to it with the camera, I feel that I was really wrong.
This song is so infectious!
And this song is quite consistent with the connection between Tsingtao Beer and this century-old brand.
"If you really love, you will understand, you will be lonely, you will look back, there will always be dreams, there will always be you, in my heart!"
Sun Qimeng looked back at a female classmate sitting in the back row, and the other party also looked at him again.
He didn't dodge, smiled and nodded, and in the eyes of the two, it seemed that they had regained the feelings of their youth, but after so many years of immersion, it was completely different from the throbbing at the beginning.
Most of the old classmates still prefer the song "Friends", and the more people come, the more they love the old things, like the style of this song, for them, it sounds much more like the previous "Cheers".
In the footage.
The students are still singing.
It's just that it has changed from a medal ceremony to a party on the playground.
Fu Biao held the guitar in the middle and sang, surrounded by a circle of students, clapping and shaking his head.
Such a scene may be rare in today's universities, so many elderly teachers and professors in the school are also deeply felt.
Think about the time when they entered the university as teachers, they were only about twenty or thirty years old, and in a blink of an eye, dozens of springs, summers, autumns and winters passed, and batches of students grew up, and they gradually aged in the process.
"Friends go together for a lifetime, and those days are no more!"
"In a word, for a lifetime, for a lifetime, a glass of wine!"
"Friends have never been lonely, you will understand when you are friends!"
"There are still injuries, there is pain, I still have to go, and I still have ......"
In the midst of the song, the camera turns back to reality.
The song "Cheers" is still playing on the campus radio, two songs from different eras, showing the difference between the past and the present, the changes of the times, and the mood of these old classmates in different time and space.
In the camera, Hu Lei and the others went to the library, the new school building, the new teaching building, met the principal and former teachers, and then went to the hotel with the plot.
On the wine table, Tsingtao Beer is in every shot, and even the tempered cup where everyone raises their glass is printed with the trademark of Tsingtao Beer.
Those who are engaged in the business know this, especially the two executives of the second and sixth beer brands in the country, who are a little itchy at this time, why did they not think of this idea?
Thinking about it again, it is no wonder that Sun Qimeng can become the most accomplished one of these old classmates, it seems that he does have some brains.
Those girls who had a crush on him back then also lamented that they didn't worship the wrong person at the beginning, but unfortunately they couldn't come together.
The female classmate who had just looked at him in the back row of Sun Qimeng had a smile on her face, but then sighed.
In the micro-movie, there are many rivalries between Hu Lei and the female number one.
Outside the hotel box, he suddenly grabbed the female number one and instructed: "Drink less at night!"
At the wine table, he took the initiative to stand up to block the wine for the female No. 1, and was asked by the old classmates with a smile if the two were still in love.
In KTV, Hu Lei deliberately sat with the female number one, and the two chatted and drank wine, these lines were all played by the two professional actors on the spot.
After a few bottles of wine, a group of men held the microphone and sang "Friends" again, some of them were incomplete, and some of them were okay with their singing skills, whether it was good or not, this song truly reflected the friendship of ordinary people to their classmates and friends through the simple voices of these people.
The highlight is that the TV screen in the KTV is occasionally flashed, and the actor in the MV of "Friends" above is Li Zhifan, wearing old jeans and big sunglasses, with a feeling of the 80s, and the picture quality is also pixels from the 80s, and the background layout seems to be in the mountains, which is also the style of the MV in the 80s.
"It's so detailed!"
Sun Qimeng couldn't help but sigh with emotion, the effect of this micro-movie is no different from a big movie, except for the single story structure and concise dialogue, it is impeccable, after all, it is ten minutes of time, which is enough.
At the end of the micro-movie, Hu Lei proposed to send the female No. 1, and the female No. 1 agreed, and the two left together in a car.
The picture suddenly turned again at this time, becoming 20 years ago, Fu Biao rode a bicycle, asked Bai Qingqing at the school gate, and wanted to give her a ride, Bai Qingqing sat on the back seat of the bicycle shyly, the bicycle kept riding forward, and finally turned into an alley, the camera moved up, and the top of the alley mouth read: College Student Hotel.
The plot ends here, and this final shot makes everyone in the audience laugh.
It seems to be embarrassing, and it seems to miss his original love.
Sun Qimeng smiled happily, but he didn't realize that he was already in tears.
There are many classmates like him around.
After the party, Sun Qimeng sat in the car, and next to him sat the female classmate who looked at him before.
"Enlightenment, I want to watch that micro-movie again!"
"Okay!"
Sun Qimeng turned on the tablet, but halfway through the play, a low battery warning suddenly appeared.
So he smiled naturally and said, "The charger is still in my room, let's go up and take a look!"
"Hmm!" the female student nodded.
……
The next day.
This micro-film began to spread, and then it became popular.
As a director, Li Zhifan doesn't know all this, he is now devoted to film promotion, running all over the country and provinces.
Just finished recording a show with some of the leading actors in the crew, Liu Zexin ran over.
"Zhifan! It's on fire, it's on fire!"
"What's on fire?"
"What a micro-movie of yours!"
Liu Zexin put the mobile phone in front of him, "Look, Kuaibo is talking about this now!"
"It's really hot?"
Li Zhifan was stunned, he didn't expect this original film and television work of his own to be popular?
Hu Lei on the side smiled and said: "I already knew, Zhifan, this micro-movie shows your directing ability, it is estimated that our "Baby Plan" can also be a hit, and this micro-movie should be regarded as a warm-up for the big movie!"
How to warm up the relationship that can't be beaten by eight poles?
Li Zhifan smiled and didn't respond, but he also figured out in an instant that it was still the help of music.
Especially the song "Friend", which was the first song he took out, it took 40 red envelopes to buy it from the mall, and he used this song as the benchmark to create the outline of this micro-movie, and some of the plots also borrowed from the MV of the song "Friend".
"One more thing!"
Liu Zexin said, "Wang Heping, chairman of Xiamen Sino-Ocean Group, called me and wanted to invite you to make a graduation season youth farewell micro-film similar to "Friend, Cheers!". ”
"Shoot again?"
Li Zhifan was speechless, "Did you take it?"
"Look what you mean!"
Liu Zexin smiled and said, "I told him that the Tsing Beer Group gave 35 million to make this micro-film, and Wang Dong said that he could also afford this price!"
"Local tyrants?"
Li Zhifan said with emotion, "What does this Sino-Ocean Group do?"
"Educational!"
Liu Zexin said, "Sino-Ocean Group has six private universities, 12 private high schools, 37 private junior high schools and primary schools in Fujian and Qiong provinces, in addition to a number of kindergartens and various training courses!"
"I'm going, why doesn't he go to the whole country to develop, so much study is crowded in these two provinces?" Li Zhifan wondered, "Does he have anything to do with the education departments of the two provinces?"
"I don't know!"
Liu Zexin said, "I just want to be sure of one thing now, whether you agree or not, I'll reply to him!"
"Say yes!"
Li Zhifan said, "See when he wants it, if the time is not tight, I can also take it!"
"Okay, then I'll contact them later!"
Liu Zexin smiled, "Actually, we can take on more cases like this, you can contract other directors to shoot, you put on the name of a producer, they are all coming for your song, you can write a song when the time comes!"
"Huh?"
Li Zhifan was stunned for a moment, "This is a good idea? Hey, Sister Xin, your agent is good, you can do it, if there is such a job, the price is high, you can rest assured and boldly take it!"
"Then I'll start picking it up?"
Liu Zexin tried again, wanting to confirm whether Li Zhifan really agreed.
"Hmm!
Li Zhifan waved his hand, quite a bit angry.
At this time, Hu Lei came up and asked: "Zhifan, if you really outsource, you can find me?" There are several students here on my side, who have the ability and level, but they don't have the opportunity to direct in person, if you give them the opportunity, their prices are negotiable!"
When Li Zhifan heard that he was a student, he was a little uneasy, and after thinking about it, he said, "Let's talk about it in the evening!"
