593. Microfilm Process

PS: I finished writing it a long time ago, but I found out that I forgot to upload it, and I was depressed.........

"Ye Sumang won the best director three times, and Liu Yifei was crowned after the golden horse!! 》

Early the next morning, the headlines of the Kyoto Entertainment News were all about the 45th Golden Horse Awards held in Treasure Island last night.

"As a representative of the mainland, director Ye Sumang and his "Painted Skin" crew members participated in the 45th Golden Horse Awards ceremony this year, at the award ceremony, the "Painted Skin" crew lived up to expectations and won six awards, of which director Ye Sumang won the Best Director Award for the third time, and the heroine Liu Yifei also won the "Actress" crown for the first time at the Asian first-class awards......

Like "Kyoto Entertainment News", many media reporters have also reported on this year's Golden Horse Awards, and the focus is naturally on Ye Sumang.

However, unlike the previous hype, this time the media is obviously much calmer, after all, Ye Sumang won the award like hemp, the first time was a surprise, the second time was excited, and the third time should be indifferent, on the contrary, if Ye Sumang did not win so many awards, then it is the headline news that is really worth reporting.

However, in Treasure Island, the most concerned is not Ye Sumang, but "Cape No. 7", which was defeated yesterday.

The film finally won four trophies, and it is also the most haode achievement of Baodao films in recent years, and the good results achieved by this film at the box office also made the people of Baodao feel very uplifted, so although it lost to "Painted Skin" in the quantity and quality of awards last night, the media of Baodao supported it in today's headlines.

Of course, the role of "Painted Skin" is not as small as "Cape No. 7", because in these reports, "Painted Skin" can always be seen more or less.

"Although "Cape No. 7" was defeated, if the opponent was not "Painted Skin", this Golden Horse Awards must be the stage of "Cape No. 7".

"The reason why "Cape No. 7" lost to "Painted Skin" was investment. The gap between the two is too big, and if "Cape No. 7" can have the investment of "Painted Skin", it will not necessarily lose to this movie's ........."

All kinds of excuses were turned out by the media on the island, as if "Cape No. 7" had lost very unjustly, but this also aroused the disgust of the editor of a certain media in the mainland, and the next day many newspapers in the mainland media began to refute the media on the island one by one. Thinking that they just can't eat grapes and saying that grapes are sour, the Baodao media are naturally unwilling to be refuted and lash back again, with the result that the number of media involved in this war is gradually increasing, and the center of discussion is becoming more and more fragmented, and a war between the media on both sides of the strait that has been inadvertently caused has officially begun.

However, at this moment, Ye Sumang has not noticed this, and now he has put all his thoughts on the micro-film area.

Since the directors association meeting at the beginning of the year, Ye Sumang promised to hold this project, and nearly 1,000 micro-films have been staged on his own video website.

Thirty percent of them were filmed by the young directors of the Directors Guild, as for the rest. Some are students who are still studying in film and television schools, and some are ordinary people who yearn for or love this industry.

For more than half a year, the media has also reported a lot on the videos in the micro film area, and even some excellent works have been pushed into the headlines of Qianbaidu.

And this time, after Ye Sumang's vigorous promotion for more than half a year, the 'micro movie' can be regarded as really entering the hearts of countless netizens.

As the name suggests, a micro-film is a movie with a very short time, although the limit time given by the micro-film section is forty minutes. But the general micro-film is in the time zone of 20-30 minutes, and the time becomes shorter. The story cannot be flawed, and in this way, the difficulty has been greatly increased, and the micro-film is undoubtedly a great exercise for the director's ability to tell the story.

It's like writing a novel, in fact, the more words you have, the easier it is to write, but short fiction is the existence that tests an author's skills the most, and the same is true for micro-films.

And for the audience. Micro movies don't need to sit in the cinema, and they don't need to take up a lot of time, and they almost only need a break to watch one or two complete stories, which is undoubtedly a convenience that many people like, and the audience likes it at the same time. The filming directors and actors of the micro-film have gradually gained a certain popularity, and this form of mutual benefit has also become the key to the development of the website.

Of course, there are also some benefits involved.

In addition to the basic click-through advertising revenue sharing, the newly launched reward sharing model is also the reason why more and more 'directors' are encouraged to join the micro-film team.

The latest micro-film semi-annual income report shows that the income of the top 100 excellent works can basically reach tens of thousands of yuan, and the top 20 can enter the 100,000 mark, and even the income of the top three can be close to the benefit of one million yuan.

You must know that the cost of shooting a micro-film is not much, rent a DV, find some public scenes, generally speaking, the cost will be controlled at about 1,000 yuan, even if the cost is high, it will generally not exceed the figure of 10,000 yuan, and these simple incomes can already make directors break even and even have some money, and this is undoubtedly a kind of long-term income, in the future, as long as the micro-film shot by yourself is not offline, then the clicks and rewards will be converted into money into their own pockets, This is also a considerable benefit for young directors who have always been shy in their pockets.

But the most fascinating thing is still the highest prize promised by Ye Sumang, with an investment of one million and a theater release!!

Everyone knows that Ye Sumang has a cinema chain in his hands, and even hundreds of his own theaters, and his promise is not a castle in the air, but a temptation that is really placed in front of everyone.

It doesn't matter what the investment is, if the script is good, it is not difficult to attract millions, but the theater is the key, Ye Sumang promised that it would be released nationwide, then it will definitely not just take one or two theaters to fool people, and who would dare to call it a national joint screening with hundreds of screens at that time!?

You must know that the annual output of Chinese films this year is more than 400, this is only a statistic of the GD General Administration, and the remaining ones that have not been reviewed and counted are countless, not counting those movies, that is, less than half of the 400 officially counted films can really enter the theater, and most of them will only be released for a few days, and some will even be reduced to art theaters, and what can really be screened nationwide is actually only those dozens of movies.

And this place is absolutely extremely precious for young directors, and the national joint screening is even the biggest ideal in the minds of many new directors.

At this moment, the first micro-film competition will end, which undoubtedly proves that the lucky winner is about to be born.

And at this moment, Ye Sumang is also dealing with this matter officially.

With an investment of one million, no restriction on the subject matter, and national screenings, these conditions are not worth Ye Sumang's trouble, but when they are together, Ye Sumang has to be carefully considered.

After all, the work to be selected must have a certain commercial value, and at the same time, it must also be able to convince the public, it stands to reason that it is good to directly choose the film that is currently ranked first, after all, the results are there, but Ye Sumang does not just look at the results, he pays more attention to the talent shown by the director in the micro-film.

"Alas......" Looking at the ten shortlisted lists, Ye Sumang couldn't help but rub his temples in distress.

"BOSS, have you chosen? The PR department is waiting for your results and then discussing how to hold the awards ceremony. Xia Bing asked immediately after coming in.

"Change the number of places from one to three, change the prize money for the first place from one million to three million, and the prize money for the remaining two and three places will drop by one million in turn, and rearrange the ...... according to this plan" Speaking of this, Ye Sumang no longer hesitated, picked up the red pen and directly circled three of the ten shortlisted movies, and then wrote the ranking in the red circle and handed it to Xia Bing on the side.

"Is that okay?" Xia Bing took the list and asked with some concern.

"No problem, in fact, this is also what I didn't think about at the beginning, as the saying goes, 'Wen is not the first, Wu is not the second', this art should also be attributed to the 'Wen', a single selection of the first will definitely make many people unconvinced, it is better to directly select three, and increasing the amount of investment is also a good way to calm the results of temporary changes, I believe that even if some people do not agree, this result will not have much repercussions."

"Alright, I'll do it right away." Xia Bing received the order and immediately turned around and walked towards the public relations department.

After dealing with this matter, Ye Sumang did not rest, but picked up another document again, which contained a person's information.

Chen Jiashang is Ye Sumang's next target!!

At present, the advantages of Tianxia Film and Television Group are cinemas and funds, and the shortcomings are self-evident, that is, there are too few talents, especially in terms of directors, except for Ye Sumang, Ning Hao and Yang Qing, there are no talents to take action, which is not a good thing for a large company.

After all, the lack of directors means that the company's ability to produce films independently is not high, especially under the premise that Ye Sumang has gone to the United States for development, and the most urgent thing at present is undoubtedly to find a director who can replace Ye Sumang as the pillar, so the director's reputation naturally cannot be too low, and the commercial means naturally cannot be too bad.

After comprehensive consideration, Ye Sumang set his sights on Chen Jiashang, the great director who just became the chairman of the Academy Awards last year.

This director is famous, a free body, and knows how to cater to the market, for Ye Sumang, it is enough to find him as a substitute for his time in the United States, Ye Sumang does not need the other party to win many awards, as long as he can shake the box office.

Just thinking about it, the phone on Ye Sumang's desk suddenly rang, and when he picked up the number on it, Ye Sumang was stunned for a moment, and then a bright smile appeared on his face. (To be continued......)
