Chapter 285: That Summer
The "Ten People, One Hundred Films, Ten Millions" Micro Film Creation Contest hosted by Little Bird Network was upgraded to the level of "100 million yuan theater" after the Aiyu.com and Huayu Cinema Line of Huaxia Entertainment Company joined, causing great social repercussions and industry shocks, and many well-known domestic media reported on this, and at the same time deeply analyzed and studied the content and significance of micro films, some people believe that this is a revolution in the video industry, and it is the embodiment and reflection of the fragmentation of information accepted by people in the folk and modern society, and it is the trend to come, and the development prospects are worth looking forward to.
Wang Zhiping, a well-known domestic filmmaker, used the "four micro" to highly concise and accurately summarize the main characteristics of micro-films: micro-time, micro-production cycle, micro-investment scale, and micro-precision.
Wang Zhiping believes that the emergence of micro-movies may be an important lifeline for online video platforms, as we all know, the competition in the video field is becoming increasingly fierce, the high cost of servers and bandwidth, the appreciation of genuine movies and TV series, and the reduction of advertising benefits, which all lead to the development of major video websites is difficult, and there is little profit, so in recent years, some video websites have begun to try to make their own programs, but the effect is not very good, and the emergence of micro-movies is tantamount to illuminating a new road.
Of course, the micro-film has not passed the test of time and practice, and the popularity of "Old Boy" also benefits from Jiang Li's influence, so Wang Zhiping believes that the specific development remains to be seen.
In addition to the support of a group of people led by Wang Zhiping, there are also people who oppose it, thinking that micro-films are essentially short films, but they have changed their skins, and short films have appeared a long time ago, but they have never heard of how popular short films are, otherwise it would be Jiang Li's turn to be the "father of micro-films"?
The reference to the father of micro-film is also from Wang Zhiping, and the original words are like this, "Jiang Li is an innovative and talented young man. Although I should be his predecessor in movies, I am his junior in micro-films, if it really proves that micro-films are promising in the future, then I think the title of "father of micro-films" must only fall on Jiang Li. ”
People generally support this statement, because the first real micro-film is Jiang Li's "Fairy Tale" MV, and it is Jiang Li's "Old Boy" that really pushes the micro-film on the stage and is concerned by everyone.
Although some people object, the major video websites are indeed studying micro movies faster or slower, and the main experience referred to is Jiang Li and Little Bird.com. There seems to be a trend of forming a trend, of course, whether it is a big tide or a small tide, and whether it can stand the test of time, just like Wang Zhiping said. It remains to be seen.
Little Bird.com is still the main front for the development of micro-films, and the topic of micro-films is heating up in society. Sparked heated discussions. It has also made more and more people interested in participating in this huge micro-film creation competition, and there are currently more than 100 micro-film trailers published on the website, involving various types, including funny, youthful love, inspirational struggle, touching family affection, beautiful scenery, as well as science fiction, suspense, life, and music micro-films pioneered by Jiang Li to interpret the artistic conception of music.
As for the little bird net itself. Now, in addition to focusing on the micro-film creation competition, it is also in-depth research and development of advertising micro-films, which is the idea that Jiang Li put forward at the beginning, tailor-made micro-films for businesses that want to advertise. Let advertising be ubiquitous in micro-films, closely integrated with the storyline, and reasonable, so as not to disgust the audience, and reach the highest level of advertising of "moisturizing things silently".
Many businesses have expressed strong interest in this idea, and actively communicated with Little Bird, and Little Bird Network has been at the forefront of the development of micro films.
As the most successful micro-film at present, "Old Boy" starring and produced by Jiang Li has also recently announced the official start-up. was made into a real movie and was a great success, which undoubtedly shows that micro-films have a lot to do, and also broadens the path for the development of micro-films, of course, there are also people who oppose it, and some people ridicule, thinking that this is just a farce written and directed by Jiang Li.
Jiang Li turned a deaf ear to this, what he was thinking about now was how to make this movie well, although at the end of his last life, "Old Boy" had not yet been made into a real movie, so he didn't have much experience to refer to, but things are made by people, as long as there is a heart, you can succeed, he always has to make some development and changes, so that he can progress, not blindly copy.
On the issue of the script, there are actually two ways to go in front of Jiang Li, the first is to completely design a new plot, in the name of "Old Boy", but not to tell the story of "Old Boy", the advantage of this is that it is full of freshness, and it can arouse the audience's desire to go to the theater to watch, and the disadvantage is that it may make some people who really like the micro-movie "Old Boy" feel regretful.
But Jiang Li finally chose the second path, adding, deleting and modifying the original storyline, enriching the content and flesh, because of the help of Zhang Nara and Liu Qianqian, his efficiency is still quite high, so he can start filming so quickly.
The new story decided to focus on adding the element of "love" on the basis of "youth inspirational", and it is three loves, the first and most important is the love story between Wang Xiaoshuai played by Jiang Li and Hao Fang played by Zhang Nara. After the broadcast, the demand on the Internet was also the highest, and many viewers said that they were healed by the ordinary love between Wang Xiaoshuai and Hao Fang, so this time I will tell in detail about the development of love between the two.
It is worth mentioning that this time the two are not only happily married, but also raised a beautiful daughter, Jiang Li and Zhang Nara, who play this daughter, still know each other, which will surely make the audience's eyes shine when the time comes.
The second is the love between Bao Xiaobai played by Xu Hengliang and the school flower played by Zhou Zi, Bao Xiaobai has always had a crush on the school flower when he was a student, and after growing up and making a fortune, he tried every means to pursue each other, and the school girl was also greedy for Bao Xiaobai's money and material conditions, and finally agreed. But soon, the school flower found that she was like a beautiful pet raised by Bao Xiaobai, doing nothing at home every day, all she could do was to keep spending money to buy beautiful clothes to dress up to kill time, and she also liked to smoke and gamble, there was no spiritual resonance between her and Bao Xiaobai, and the inner emptiness was like a dry well, this love and the love between Wang Xiaoshuai and Hao Fang just formed an extremely sharp contrast, telling people that the marriage of money and material union is just marriage, not necessarily love. You don't necessarily get real happiness.
The third love is quite dramatic, although Wang Xiaoshuai and Xiao Dabao failed to participate in "Happy Boys", but Xiao Dabao gained a marriage because of this, tied the knot with one of his female fans, and worked as a wedding host all day long. I didn't expect that it would finally be my turn to be the protagonist of the wedding, and the female fan who played it would be a certain singer under Asuka.
Three loves. Different destinies and encounters. Different life trajectories confirm certain truths with each other, what is lost is not necessarily really lost, and what is gained may not be really gained. If a person drinks water, he knows whether he is warm or cold.
"Old Boy" is planned to be filmed for about three months, and it will be released in theaters in time for the Chinese New Year, so Jiang Li and Zhang Nara will be very busy for the rest of this semester. can only go to class when there is no role for themselves, but they are already in their third year of high school, in fact, there is not much new knowledge, mainly review, Jiang Li and Zhang Nara can learn by themselves.
When the filming of "Old Boy" officially began, Jiang Li did not forget to release Chopin's etudes, which made his fans in classical music cheer and feast their ears.
Chopin's No. 10 No. 7 "Etude in C Major", which is an etude similar to the toccata, the toccata is a literal translation of Italian, the original meaning is touch, and by extension, it is a kind of free improvised keyboard music, with a series of broken chords alternately composed of fast scales, so the toccata is also called the touch technique, which is a style of music originating from the Italian Renaissance, representing freedom, passion, Passionate and rhapsodic, the focus of this etude is to practice the technique of the right hand, with the treble part played with legato and the bass part requiring the staccato melody to be hidden in the legato part.
But not long after the release of "Etude in C Major", Zhang Nara found him, and she knew how hard and busy he was now, and she also found time to compose classical music in her busy schedule...... Shocked, of course, she didn't suspect anything, but she was very worried about Jiang Li's body, for fear that he would fall down due to overwork, so she touched Jiang Li's head and said with concern: "Ah Li, your life is still very long, and you have made great achievements, don't be in a hurry to pour out all the things at once, isn't it good to take your time in the future? ”
Jiang Li didn't know how to answer, so he changed the topic and said: "By the way, Director Huang told me just now that maybe he can add a bed scene for us, after all, we must keep up with the trend of the times and reform and opening up." ”
Zhang Nara's face turned red as soon as she "swished", and there was no reason for a long time, she was shy, turned around and ran away without a trace.
Jiang Li smiled, turned around and went to see Director Huang Rong, who was also shot while lying down, to discuss the next shooting matters, and the etude was released as originally planned, the eighth "Etude in F major", which is the most brilliant and bright etude in Chopin's collection of etudes, is often played in concerts in the original world, when playing this piece, the left hand is the main interpreter of the theme, and the right hand uses "practice" The tone pattern to embellish it, the whole style is light and lively, and the four ending chords are transmitted from the left hand bass to the highest note of the right hand with arpeggios, which is Chopin's usual playing method, but in this world, it will become a small technique for Jiang Li's performance.
When the eighth song was released, the major companies that released classical music records finally couldn't sit still, and the whole world was crazy to talk to Jiang Li about cooperation, even his teacher Mu Yu was shocked, the whole European classical music company had already eaten the sweetness, this time he saw the opportunity, and immediately went to Jiss to find President Thomas first, and then President Thomas interceded with Mu Yu, and Mu Yu reluctantly agreed to tell Jiang Li about it.
Although Mu Yu also said that it was completely up to him to decide, so that he should not take it too seriously and affect the decision, but after all, it was his mentor who said it himself, and the European classical music company also offered the same price this time as last time, half a cent, in order to show his attention, Jiang Li was ready to agree, and at this moment, Li Gan, who had not been in contact with him recently, suddenly called.
"Ah Li. I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?" Li Gan smiled faintly, because of the close relationship, now Li Gan has also changed his name to call Jiang Li "Ah Li".
"No problem, three meals a day, fish and meat in the meal, can it be bad? I don't know what Uncle Li is looking for me?" Jiang Li said with a smile, in fact, he has lost weight recently, and he has become a little darker, but he is indeed healthier. Tired is healthier.
"Can't I call you if it's okay?" Li Qian quipped.
"Of course not, I guess. Jiang Li said slyly.
"Okay, I'll get straight to the point, Datang Classical Music Company wants to release your next classical music record, and the income will be sixty-four. If you take the lion's head, you will get sixty percent. How's it going?"
"Where can I find such a good thing? It's just ......" Jiang Li said euphemistically about Mu Yu.
Li Gan scolded with a smile: "You kid, you don't have to use your teacher to pressure me, I'll go and tell him about it, I think at the beginning, it wasn't me who introduced you to his student, otherwise how could he have this good fortune." Okay, that's it, okay?"
"No problem, Uncle Li said so. I can make an extra profit, of course I have to smile happily. Jiang Li smiled.
After this was done, Jiang Li immediately released the ninth "Etude in F minor", which is a very difficult touch key etude, strong emotional catharsis and gorgeous show-off color, full of romanticism, and Liszt's style is quite similar, this etude once it came out made people think of "Super Technique Etude", so it is relished.
And Ye Chen's new song finally appeared on the music network, and the grand recommendation of the Suzhou Provincial Music Network wrote: "Jiang Li's latest masterpiece tailored for Ye Chen, following "The Taste of Summer", once again misses summer, misses the summer of that year. ”
"That Summer" is a song by Xu Fei in the original world, and here, for Ye Chen, this "that year" is actually last year, 2007, that was the beautiful season when she first met Jiang Li, No. 9 Road Station, does anyone remember?
So, put on your headphones and listen quietly.
As always, the morning hoarse vicissitudes of life, so that the listener's heart is like being gently rubbed by sandpaper, slightly itchy but warm and comfortable, only to hear Ye Chen sing softly: "When I grow up, I am now often lonely, occasionally slender, the stars twinkle, the brightest one left, the past is like the wind, across the night sky, your song, beating notes, familiar with the melody, who will meet." ”
All of them are short words, fragmentary feelings, like chanting, like singing, like summer insects lying in the grass, chirping softly in this late autumn season.
"When I grew up, now I forgot about happiness, people come and go, stay around, I don't have many friends, those innocent, pure laughter, where are they, white wings, beautiful angels, gone. ”
When Ye Chen sang this song, she couldn't help but think of her past, she was also carefree, living in an ordinary family that was neither good nor bad, but she suffered one after another major changes in her life, she had to drop out of school, and gradually said goodbye to her former friends and smiling faces.
"I used to think that the world is very beautiful, no one shed tears, blow out the candles, make a wish, all will come true, the original I, nostalgic for the past, because too nostalgic, ignorant years, only collected a simple smile. ”
Life taught Ye Chen to be cruel and strong, and also told her that her beautiful wishes only exist in fairy tales, she misses the past, and she moves forward with difficulty and perseverance in the dark.
One day, she finally saw the light.
"I would like to believe that time goes backwards, the memory is the most beautiful, fold your hands, close your eyes, and make a wish again, one day, go back to the past, let them all appear, but they did not change, let the clock stop, that summer. ”
Ye Chen sat on her bed, holding her white and slender legs, listening to her singing voice from the headphones, she suddenly felt something, got up and walked to the window with her bare white feet like jade, opened the curtains, and looked out the window, there was just a meteor crossing the beautiful night sky, she hurriedly put her hands together, closed her eyes, and said softly: "Meteor Meteor, I hope that if I die one day, even if I can't go back to the past, I can't even remember the good memories of that summer, please let me stay by his side, please." ”
The meteor flickered slightly, disappearing.
Ye Chen opened his big bright eyes, bit his lip, suddenly smiled bitterly, and muttered: "I'm so stupid, if I really die, how can I be by his side, can I become a ghost and scare him." ”
At this moment, her body suddenly shook uncontrollably, like a weak willow supporting the wind, Ye Chen put his hand against his head, climbed onto the bed and lay down, looked at the ceiling, and said with some wonder: "Why have you been a little dizzy recently, is it too tiring to practice singing and studying together?" Ye Chen, Fight! can't let him down, come on, what he promised will definitely be done, and what you have to do is to show the strongest motivation and the best performance on the national tour to repay him!"
Ye Chen saw through his five fingers that the moonlight and the shadows of the trees were intertwined on the ceiling, gradually becoming blurred, as if the front was covered with a layer of darkness and shadow.
Good night. (To be continued......)
