No. 27 miniseries
......
This Chen Xiang is not the other Chen Xiang.
is not a star Chen Xiang, but a director Chen Xiang.
If you briefly talk about the talents who will be the leaders in the online drama industry in the next few years, in addition to the "Never Expected" series called the beast, there is also Dapeng's "Dick Silk Man".
These small web dramas with a minimum of five minutes and a maximum of about ten minutes are not only very popular on the Internet, but also very hot offline.
This kind of short film online drama is composed of one story or multiple stories, most of these online dramas are low-cost, but they can often receive tens of millions, but hundreds of millions of views.
Maybe it's not okay to call it an online drama, after all, there are already online dramas with a long plot similar to TV dramas, and this type of film can be called a miniseries.
The miniseries, as the name suggests, are short, concise, and easy to understand.
There are no unfathomable lines, and there are no touching quotes. is a film that completely relies on the genre of comedy.
Because it is very difficult to explain a story in less than ten minutes. A good story should have a beginning, a climax in the middle, and an end to the end.
There used to be a French micro-film called "The Tuner". The full length of this short film and the final cast list are only 14 minutes, but it is very moving to explain a story that everyone can understand.
But this is a micro-film.
Most of the mini-series in China can probably be called funny dramas, short film comedies.
It is also a form of film and television that extends after people put forward "fragmented time". The so-called "fragmented time" I believe everyone understands, it is a kind of miniseries derived when there is a certain amount of free time on the way to and from work, or going to the toilet, but there is not a lot of time. The longest is no more than ten minutes, and the shortest is more than ten seconds.
In the next few years, these directors and starring in filming miniseries took advantage of this spring breeze to make a mess.
First of all, the white guest in "Never Expected" has evolved from a dick who shoots low-cost martial arts films to an Internet celebrity star who shoots regular movies and appears on large-scale variety shows.
Dapeng became an instant hit with "Dick Silk Man", which not only drove its own economic value, but also drove the overall market share of this drama. Later, "Pancake Man", which was directed and acted by himself, received a billion box office.
I have to say that Dapeng is still a little talented, although his "Pancake Man" Wang Zainian fast-forwarded to the end from beginning to end, and it was a bit of a climax in the end. It's just the appearance of the Crazy Boy Heavenly Troupe.
"Never Expected" later made a big movie with the theme of Journey to the West, although the plot is a bit old-fashioned, gathering a few friends to fight monsters, but this is the most commonly used and practical routine. The only thing to be commended for is that the special effects are not bad. It's not a five-cent special effect, it may be a special effect that costs an extra five cents and a dollar.
Anyway, in the next few years, starting from 15 years, the national entertainment industry will grow significantly across the board, in addition to movies, TV series. A series of entertainment products such as online dramas, micro-movies, animations, variety shows, and so on on the Internet will face a blowout.
And Chen Xiang, as the director of the miniseries "Chen Xiang at Half Past Six", can be regarded as one of the best. A series of self-directed and self-starred comedy short films, from tens of seconds to three or four minutes, will basically have tens of millions of views. Some of the jokes and reversals in the film are also very gratifying.
And at this time in the umbrella entertainment company.
Li Wanru looked at this somewhat ordinary little fat man who seemed very restrained, and asked, "You are Chen Xiang?" “
"Yes, Manager Li, I'm Chen Xiang." Chen Xiang was a little shy and restrained.
"Well, I've seen some of the short videos you sent. It's interesting, how did you come up with the idea to make such a very short short film of only a few tens of seconds? ”
Li Wanru remembered that she saw the information sent by the interviewer on the computer a few days ago, and she was very impressed by Chen Xiang, and some of the small videos he sent were very interesting, whether it was the characters or the dialogue, they were full of laughter. It is very difficult to shake off the burden and laugh in just a few tens of seconds.
Some people say that it only takes a second, a sentence, a performance, or even an action to make a joke about a person.
And Chen Xiang is precisely the kind of film that can make people laugh in a short period of time.
"I, I used to work in a TV station, sometimes I was bored, so I took the DV around and filmed it around, and later I made some short dramas with a few good friends out of interest, and there were also a certain number of hits on the Internet." When Chen Xiang said this, there was a trace of pride on his face.
"Well, that's good, I read the information you sent, do you want to make an online drama?" Li Wanru thought about it for a while, and the position she applied for was a director.
"Yes."
"Well, you can try."
Although Li Wanru is not very optimistic about this type of short drama, Wang Zainian has instructed before that this kind of artist director who has a certain influence on the Internet can give priority to signing a contract, or give a certain amount of resources appropriately.
"Thank you, thank you." Chen Xiang was a little excited, since he saw about the series on the Internet, he felt that he could also try to shoot this kind of short film.
Li Wanru suddenly remembered this kind of one- or two-minute mini-series, which is very suitable for development in short video software such as Douyin and Xiaojiaxiu. She said, "Try to shoot some short dramas within this month, I see that your type of short film is very suitable for development in Douyin, and I will contact you to give you a hot one when the time comes." ”
"Really!" Chen Xiang said excitedly.
Douyin naturally knows what it is, from the beginning of the year to the present, it has been popular for almost two months, and the number of registered users has reached 80 million. There are tens of millions of people who are stable online every day, not only ordinary people are using it, but some celebrities have registered accounts and posted the videos they shot on Weibo for everyone to share.
"Well, we have a certain relationship with Douyin, you can rest assured." Li Wanru also did not say that the two companies are controlled by one person.
......
After a flash of effort, more than ten days passed quietly, and it has come to mid-March.
The scenes in the United States have basically been filmed, and only a few scenes need to be re-filmed, according to Xue Xiaolu and Director Xue's words, try to try to release it in the summer vacation.
Because a film is not only the time for shooting, but also a series of follow-up productions such as post-editing, soundtrack, theater arrangement, and so on. So it's very normal when it's scheduled to be released in the summer.
After all, not everyone is Han Han, as the most famous young writer of the post-80s, his first film has been hotly discussed by everyone, from filing to shooting, to today's editing stage, it has always been in the top few entertainment headlines.
The preliminary preparations for "Brain Man" have been completed, the reselected regular guests have also been selected, and the exclusive title sponsor is also a very famous milk powder. There are also many assistant sponsors, and some of them are sponsored according to the positioning of successful men, brain men, etc.
For example, cars, walnut milk, etc.
Now in addition to Jiang Shuying, there are still some domestic scenes that have not been filmed, and Wang Zainian's scenes have also been successfully filmed a few days ago, especially in the plot filmed in the Empire State Building.
Judging from the lens, it is very beautiful and moving, and it has a love atmosphere of the 80s and 90s.
