Chapter 499: Add Friends
readx;? The New Year is approaching, and the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Lin Xiaoling moved back to the courtyard from the apartment to live, not because she felt that living in the apartment was deserted, but because Zheng Xiulian asked that only living at home could be regarded as the New Year.
Since the box office fiasco of "Coming Home", she has been looking for new subjects to shoot.
This time, Lin Xiaoling wants to make a film with a box office to prove that she can not only win awards, but also make money.
It's not difficult to make this kind of film, pull Ge You and Xu Jinglei and others to make a comedy, the audience will definitely love to watch it, don't care if there is depth or not, as long as it can be funny.
It's just that Lin Xiaoling can't pass her own level.
This is a problem that directors with professional backgrounds have, they feel that movies should be artistic, and psychologically reject commercial films.
They think that once they make a commercial film, they can't make a literary film again, and they can't calm down.
Just like film directors are generally reluctant to make TV series, TV series are too rough, movies are more refined, if you shoot too many TV series and lower the standards, you won't find that feeling when you go to make movies again.
Therefore, most of the good domestic commercial film directors are not from professional directorial backgrounds.
It takes a process to change this concept of the supremacy of art, and Lin Xiaoling struggles with it.
Lin Zixuan knows that commercial films will become mainstream in the future, and literary films will be marginalized, which is a general trend in the commercial society.
But he will not encourage Lin Xiaoling to make commercial films, at this time Lin Xiaoling's outlook on life and values have been formed, and she has her own standards for looking at things, or she has her own way.
Lin Zixuan didn't want to impose his influence on Lin Xiaoling, but should let her choose freely.
"What's there to think about here, you can shoot whatever you want in your heart, don't think about winning awards and box office first. Lin Zixuan persuaded.
"Say so, but if you really shoot like that, I'm afraid it will end up with those banned directors. Lin Xiaoling said helplessly.
The sixth generation of directors is called underground directors, or non-mainstream directors, and the films they make are marginalized and cannot be released in China, and many of them are on the blacklist of the General Administration and are banned from directing films.
These people won awards abroad, but they were unknown in China and were only sought after by some niche groups.
They are surviving in the cracks, facing many difficulties, and many people also want to return to the mainstream, but they do not want to give up the so-called artistic pursuit, and the situation is very embarrassing.
Lin Xiaoling's foundation is good, she won the award at a young age, she doesn't want to be banned.
"Then think about it yourself, wait, what is this icon on your computer?" Lin Zixuan said strangely.
"It's a chat tool that allows you to chat online through this. Lin Xiaoling explained, "It was recommended by a friend, and it was just released two days ago, called Penguin. ”
Young people like Lin Xiaoling prefer the Internet and like to try new things.
"Penguin? I'll give it a try. Lin Zixuan clicked on the icon with the mouse, and an interface appeared.
This is an interface to apply for a penguin, Lin Zixuan followed the steps to apply and got his own penguin.
On February 10, 1999, Penguin launched an instant messaging chat app.
The Penguin has a five-digit number, 100000, which is the system number of the Penguin Company, 100001, which is the number of the CEO of the Penguin Company, and 10002, which is the number of the vice president of the Penguin Company.
Lin Zixuan's penguin number is after five hundred, which means that only more than five hundred people have applied in the past two days.
It is estimated that there are many Penguin company's own employee numbers in front, and this promotion is too weak.
Moreover, the interface of this Penguin software is quite rough, and its main function is to use the network for wireless paging and text messaging.
Lin Zixuan landed on his penguin account, in addition to adding friends to chat, there are no additional functions, and you can't leave a message offline, you can only chat when your friends are online at the same time.
He thought about it and thought it was interesting, so he added the number of 10001 as a friend with the attitude of trying it out.
"Brother, who is this penguin?" Lin Xiaoling said curiously.
"I guess it should be the CEO of their company, just like my employee number is 001 in Good Dreams, and everyone who is the CEO likes this number. Lin Zixuan replied.
"So, then why are you adding him?" Lin Xiaoling was puzzled.
"It's okay, just try this way of making friends and keep up with fashion. Lin Zixuan said casually.
Lin Zixuan originally thought that he would have to wait a long time to get a reply, but the network signal at this time was not good, and the other party may not be online, even if he is online, it is unlikely that he will accept strangers as friends.
Unexpectedly, the response over there was very fast, and he accepted Lin Zixuan's friend request in less than ten minutes.
"Mr. Ma?" Lin Zixuan typed these two words.
"Are you Mr. Lin of the Good Dream Company?" the other party responded.
When applying for friends, Lin Zixuan had an introduction, which may be the reason why he can be accepted as a friend by the other party.
"I'm Lin Zixuan of Beijing Haomeng Film and Television Company, and I'm very interested in your company's chat software and want to talk about it. Lin Zixuan didn't go around in circles, but got straight to the point.
Online chat software has long existed abroad, but it is not common in China.
"Mr. Lin, hello, I have admired the name for a long time. Mr. Ma replied.
"Let's talk on the phone, it's not convenient on the Internet, I'll give you the number." Lin Zixuan thought of a cooperation plan.
Although it is called instant messaging, it is not yet effective at this time, not to mention that chatting and typing is too slow, and the network speed is also a problem, so it is not as convenient as making a phone call.
"Mr. Ma, what are your promotion plans for this software?" the phone was connected, and Lin Zixuan asked.
"We are ready to promote it on the Internet, on major forums to attract users. Mr. Ma introduced.
Penguin is still in its infancy and lacks funds, so advertising on forums is the most cost-effective.
This is not a trade secret, Lin Xiaoling only learned about the Penguin through the introduction of a friend on the forum.
"In this way, I have a cooperation plan, you may have heard that Director Feng and Ge You of our company are going to make a new film, we can make a product placement for you in the movie, and besides, the actors of our company will mention this chat software on different occasions, what do you think?" Lin Zixuan proposed.
"Of course this is good, but the cost is ......" Ma always wondered.
Being able to advertise in Ge You's Chinese New Year film is naturally a good opportunity for the newly established Penguin Company.
But this kind of product placement advertising costs millions, to say the least, but it is not something he can afford now, and the company has more places to spend money.
"We are a cooperative relationship, no charge, as long as when our company's movie is released, your company sends a system message to each Penguin user through the software system to promote the film. Lin Zixuan suggested.
"We don't have many registered users, and I'm afraid that the publicity role is limited. Mr. Ma worried.
"I'm optimistic about the future of this software, maybe only a few hundred users now, but maybe millions, tens of millions, or even more in the future. Lin Zixuan said, "Mr. Ma, the future is worth looking forward to." (To be continued.) )
