"12 Degrees of Youth" is the product of the tripartite cooperation between Shuimu Forest, China Film Group and Tudou.com, and China Film has brought a lot of funds for this plan, but it is Shuimu Forest that leads the shooting, and Tudou.com dominates the broadcast, so He Mu, Han Sanping, and Xiao Fang are the producers of all twelve micro-films.

After the change of dynasty, Tudou ushered in a new look, the beginning of the network programs, including "Mainland This Week's Box Office", "Weekly Entertainment Broadcast" These new programs attracted a lot of traffic, and then Tiger Wolf's online drama "Twenty Years of the Underworld" was put into the weekly broadcast ranks of Tudou after filming five episodes, and now it has been broadcast for two weeks and four episodes. Although the actors are only some second- and third-tier actors, they have gathered quite a lot of popularity on the Internet platform, and the cumulative clicks of the four episodes have exceeded 10 million, which has reached the expectations of the website, and maybe it can also give birth to a group of new stars. Now the latter part of the show is in intense production, and the first season is planned to be 20 episodes, which happens to coincide with the first part of the physical book.

After the online drama, Tudou's third board axe micro-film is about to be launched, "12 Degrees of Youth" is planned to start from the end of May, until the end of August, three months and 12 weeks of one appearance per week with everyone, as the nominal producer of these 12 micro-films, He Mu knows that he should be the last one to be completed, and the remaining 11 have completed post-production, but He Mu hasn't seen it yet, and he really doesn't have the time to distract other people's works when he's busy with his own works.

Xiao Fang stopped He Mu and asked him if he wanted to watch these movies, and then set a broadcast order. He Mu's "Diary of First Love" has been confirmed to be the finale, and it will be released last, and they also have to find a strong work to start the first shot of "12 Degrees of Youth". The first one came out, and the remaining 10 were divided into three months according to the quality of the uneven strength, trying not to be top-heavy, but also to avoid the front being too boring.

He Mu looked at the time, 11 films are only six or seven hours long, he still has time, if he goes to the south to shoot "Zi Bu Si". I'm afraid there really won't be time, so let's see, if there's any room for improvement, it's timely to bring it up now. "Alright then, let's find a place to look."

"Can't you just use this screening room?"

He Mu shook his head, "It's not good, people must have watched these micro-movies through computers." We also have to look at it from the computer to correctly understand the mood of the viewer. On the screen, the effect is certainly much stronger than on the computer, but in fact, the audience can't see it. ”

"Makes sense, it's very thoughtful." Xiao Fang praised, so they came to Xiao Fang's office, and started from "Li Lei and Han Meimei" directed by Fang Gangliang on the computer, and the name was still very attractive to them.

Watch it one by one, and every micro-movie is very creative. The director's level is also very good, which ensures the quality of the micro-film. Basically, the people who were selected for the 12-degree youth plan are all relevant practitioners in the film and television industry, far better than those grassroots movie lovers on the Internet, although these micro-movies are not all able to make He Mu empathetic and moved, but the small stories carefully designed by the directors are still worth learning and praise.

However, after watching ten films, He Mu still feels that it is correct to choose "First Love Diary" as the finale, not to mention that as a director He Mu's influence is here, the design of this storyline alone and its ambition to try to evoke the memories of the first love of a generation are not comparable to the previous works, maybe He Mu's work is not the best one in terms of professional skills, but it is definitely the one with the widest audience and the one that can resonate the most.

"Okay, there's the last one left, let's determine the broadcast order after watching it." He Mu said, and then clicked on the video file called "Old Boy", director Xiao Yang, starring Xiao Yang and Wang Taili, they also have a name called "Chopsticks Brothers", He Mu has seen their funny video "Memoirs of a Male Geisha", two very talented people.

Xiao Fang also interjected next to him, "These are the two people I told you to pretend to be more tender than you, it should be pretty good." ”

The film is 42 minutes long, which is the longest in the entire series, about two middle-aged men participating in a singing talent show similar to "Happy Boys", with a total of two clues, a cruel reality of chasing dreams, and a happy and sad student era, which is similar to "First Love Diary", but the theme is slightly different.

"Old Boy" is more about dreams, and it is the persistence of people in middle age to their dreams, and "First Love Diary" is mainly about love, which is the impulse that everyone will have at a specific age and environment.

There is also a description of campus love in "Old Boy", Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai still have many classmates who like the school flower Hao Fang, but the two leading actors used a relaxed and humorous tone to show this hazy love love, not only the secret love plot, in the entire campus part, Xiao Yang used a slightly exaggerated way of expression to interpret, which made people laugh more than once, Xiao Fang admired while watching, I didn't expect it to be so good.

And this kind of exaggerated and funny interpretation is just in stark contrast to the cruel reality in another clue, nothing was achieved, the fighting spirit was consumed by reality, and the two old boys who gave up their dreams, stimulated by their old classmates, participated in the singing audition, and under the strange eyes of people, they persevered to the last moment, Xiao Dabao returned to school at the last moment, when he saw those students, he was inspired and created the song of the most difficult competition, He Mu saw that he was already looking forward to this song.

The melody sounded, Wang Xiaoshuai danced, Xiao Dabao played the guitar and sang softly, "That's the person I miss day and night~ I love deeply." How the hell should I express ~ will she accept me?"

Well, that's good, He Muxiao glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, and continued to listen, "Maybe never, if I said that sentence to her, I am destined to wander the world, how can I be concerned...... Youth is like a rushing river, I can't come back and say goodbye, only I am numb, and I don't have the blood of the year......"

With a beautiful melody, intriguing lyrics, and the performances of the two main creators, He Mu has entered the situation of song making, and gradually fell into it, "The figures of each running for the future are gradually drifting away...... Has the original wish come true, and now I have to pay tribute...... Life is like a ruthless carving knife, changing our appearance, will it wither before it blooms, I have had a dream...... Looking up at the starry sky, the one that accompanied me at that time, do you remember the story here, if there is tomorrow to bless your dear"

When Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai performed on stage, their former classmates are now middle-aged, each facing the pressure of life and the difficulties of work.

They also all had dreams, and they also had youth, but youth has been like a rushing river, and it is too late to say goodbye if they don't come back, it is really well written, compared with this "Old Boy", the "Youth" that shows a small tone is not an order of magnitude at all, "Youth" People may like to hum for a while, but "Old Boy" is definitely a classic that can be remembered for a lifetime!

He Mu's mind is now full of lyrics and melodies of "Old Boy".

When the song ended and the movie was not finished, He Mu closed his eyes, his eyes were already slightly red, this song reminded him of the days when he worked hard for his dream in Hengdian five years ago, if he hadn't met Tao Quduo and Xiao Fang later, maybe he would have to "let the years dry his ideals, and he will never be able to find the real me again", think about it, if he can't film, can't show his acting strength, his fate can only be in his own butcher factory and pork, and he was cut into a little old man by the pig-killing knife of life, and even lost the ability to dream, It's scary to think about.

Not only was He Mu moved by this song by this story, but even Xiao Fang's eyes were a little moist, he said that he thought of his comrades-in-arms, and that time in the army was a period of his rebirth, and it was also his most affectionate time, but unfortunately except for He Zao, many of the rest of his comrades-in-arms have lost contact because of the inconvenience of contact from all over the country, I don't know how they are doing now, whether he thinks of himself like he thinks about them.

The story of "Old Boy" itself is already very good, coupled with the song "Old Boy", the whole story has been sublimated, and even He Mu has to look up to this 42-minute story, he believes that this movie is the most eye-catching one in the "12 Degrees Youth Series Micro Movie".

"Brother Fang, I think the broadcast order should be adjusted."

"We don't think we're sure we're in any order." Xiao said after a pause.

"I mean, let 'The Diary of First Love' take the lead and 'Old Boy' go on the show." He Mu rubbed his eyes, he didn't look at Xiao Fang, Xiao Fang didn't dare to look at him, the two big men were a little embarrassed, they were both tough guys, what was wrong today.

Although "Old Boy" moved Xiao Fang to a lot, He Mu's decision was still a bit unexpected for him, you must know that the biggest selling point of "12 Degrees of Youth" is He Mu and his micro-film debut, many people pay attention to this project because He Mu participates as a director, and his directorial work will be the biggest surprise of this series, so it was decided to end with the finale of "First Love Diary" at the beginning, which can attract the most viewers, and it is also a respect for his identity and status. It's like Zhao Benshan always appears in the finale of the Spring Festival Gala, and now only he can hold it down.

"It's a bit risky to let a little-known director finale." Xiao Fang had some concerns.

He Mu insisted, "If you put "Old Boy" in the first place, people will be disappointed the more they watch it, Zhuyu is in front, if you can't see a work that surpasses it at the end, then this series is going downhill, it is a failure, but on the contrary, it will be different......" (to be continued......)
