Chapter 004: Boot, "Old Boy"

Micro-film is very popular in another time and space, but in this world, the form of micro-film only exists abroad, and it is not called micro-film, but short film.

Therefore, Wang Shang plans to publish a micro-film by himself, upload it to the Internet, create an era of online micro-films, and make a reputation as a director.

Wang Shang's micro-film script is the top-ranked "Tree of Hope" on Earth China, which tells the story of a volunteer teacher who came to a remote mountain village in Yunnan to teach, and his arrival brought hope to these poor children in the mountains. During the three years he volunteered, he volunteered to teach, without a salary, and even relied on friends to support him. and sells singing and CDs in bars, just to buy meat for children.

The simple innocence and angelic faces of the children in the film are shocking. The children's gratitude to the volunteer teachers is even more tear-jerking.

The script has been written, and Wang Shang began to rent film and television production equipment.

It was at this time that a piece of news came that shocked the world.

The world dance king - Mike Jason has passed away!

He died of heart failure and could not be saved.

Mike Jason's death sparked global grief, with nearly 1.1 billion people watching a live televised broadcast of his public memorial service! The last concert of his life, which was originally scheduled to start on February 13 next year, sold out in 4.5 hours with a total of about 1 million tickets for 50 concerts, but the concert did not start as scheduled with the death of Mike Jason.

And his fans in Huaxia also spontaneously organized a large-scale mourning ceremony, with a total number of more than 100 million!

Although Wang Shang has just come to this world, the memory left by this body will inevitably affect him and be sad. At this time, Wang Shang suddenly thought of another micro-movie.

"If I don't shoot "Hope Tree", I want to make "Old Boy"!"

"Old Boy" in another time and space was filmed to commemorate the death of Michael Jackson, and it was very appropriate to shoot at this time.

"Old Boy" tells a story about "youth", the difference is that once this 43-minute online short film was launched, it swept the entire network with a "viral" spread speed, "youth" and "dreams" triggered a collective outburst of nostalgia among 60-80 people, and "tears" became the most frequently used viewing experience.

The first half of the micro-film is full of nostalgic and funny elements, such as guitar singing, dancing MJ dance steps, and pursuing class flowers. "Flower Fairy", "Xiao Fang", "Sixteen-Year-Old Flower Season", "Sailor", "Lights on the Stars", "Billiejean" and other old songs; Brick-like old-fashioned cassette recorders, BP players, handheld game consoles, and other antique ...... All of them evoke the collective memories of the post-60s and 80s generation, and almost everyone can find their own shadow in them.

Its performance on the Internet is also very crazy, in just half a month, the film has reached more than 47 million online views (not including downloading, offline viewing and other ways to forward). For an online short film that lacks commercial operation, such a speed of dissemination can only be described as "crazy".

Thinking of this, Wang Shang no longer rented equipment, but rushed home to write the script.

……

Just when Wang Shang stayed at home and concentrated on writing the script, a piece of information began to flow out from the entertainment industry: "Wang Shang, who was expelled from the Modu Media Academy, wrote a TV drama script, has signed a contract with Datang International, and is currently preparing for filming. ”

As soon as this news came out, the media, which originally stopped paying attention to the grievances between Wang Shang and the Modu Media Academy, became excited again.

"Not only was it not crushed, but it also sold a high-profile script?"

This news was deliberately leaked by Datang International, in order to stir up the matter again.

As expected, the media rose up again, and they ran downstairs to block people for interviews in Datang International Building.

Datang International was first 'inexplicable', and then reacted quickly and actively held a large-scale press conference.

A total of more than 100 reporters came on the spot, half of them were reporters from major media in the magic capital, and many media reporters from other places also came.

A reporter from the Northern Metropolis Daily stood up and asked Yang Lei, spokesman of Datang International: "When Wang Shang was in school, he had a history of being a strong female teacher, why did Datang International dare to accept his script?" Aren't you afraid that the people won't buy it? ”

Yang Lei pretended to be cute and asked stupidly: "Wang Shang has a strong female teacher's history?" I don't know? Is there any evidence? If there is no evidence, it goes without saying. ”

Yang Lei also knew that there was a recording evidence that could justify Wang Shang's name, but according to the plan, he would not release it for the time being, and wait for public opinion to become more popular before sending it out.

The reporter of the Northern Metropolis Daily continued to pester: "You mean to say that the Modu Media Academy is fooling the public? ”

This sentence immediately pushed Datang International to the opposite side of the Modu Media College, and when other reporters heard this, their eyes lit up, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

As the spokesperson of Datang International, a large company, Yang Lei is not a vegetarian, and directly said lightly: "I didn't make any comments on the Modu Media College, because the matter between Wang Shang and it is completely ambiguous, and I will not comment." ”

Although Datang International is not afraid of the Modu Media College, it can avoid collisions as much as possible. As for the transaction with Wang Shang, it was just a business transaction, and it was a business.

Later, Yang Lei accepted a few interviews and answered lightly.

The focus began to shift from Wang Shang to the TV drama script.

"We Datang International think that the script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is very good, and our editors have praised it, and we Datang International believe that we will be able to use it to make a very good TV series."

"It is a very good Qing Dynasty ** TV series, it does not take an entertaining treatment of court characters, the concubines in order to compete for favor and position, they will do whatever it takes to frame each other, intrigue, laugh on the surface, and secretly draw knives against each other. The seriousness and rigor of the plot details, the twists and turns of the plot fabrication, and the evocative and timeless lines of the literary lines all make the play reveal an extraordinary drama style. ”

"It may be able to lead a trend!"

Yang Lei desperately boasted about the awesomeness of this drama, which has the potential to be invincible in the world once this drama comes out.

The reporters took pictures one after another, and at the same time began to take an interest in the show.

The press conference lasted for nearly 2 hours, but most of the reporters were entangled in the 'grievances and hatreds' between Wang Shang and Modu Media College.

After the reception, newspapers and online media began to erupt.

"Datang International thinks Wang Shang is innocent!"

"Datang International questioned the inside story of Modu Media College, and harmed excellent students with both character and learning!"

"Modu Media Academy strongly condemns Datang International for harboring moral scum!"

"Moral decay, the world is declining, Datang International sells morality for profit!"

All kinds of headline parties continue to appear, and the language is alarmist, as if Datang International is fighting with the Modu Media Academy. The media everywhere are also following the same example, constantly crooked, either shaping Wang Shang into a flood beast, or shaping the Modu Media Institute into a shady concentration place.

And Datang International also hired a large number of gunmen to secretly add fuel to the fire and add fuel to the fire on both sides, which coincided with this period of time except for the death of the dancing king, there was no other topic worth hype, so the discussion about Wang Shang heated up again.

People just like to watch gossip and like to watch strongly, whether it's the earth or the world! The media are fighting each other to increase sales, and readers are happy to have the media fighting for their own entertainment!

After a hype by the media, Wang Shang, who has never been taken seriously, began to enter the eyes of the people across the country, and this "**The Legend of Zhen Huan" written by Wang Shang has also become a focus topic.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" has not yet started, but it has become popular and has been remembered by countless people.

This hot spot of public opinion makes the media make a lot of money, and it also makes those readers happy.

But the one who benefited the most from it was Wang Shang, a fledgling person. It has just stepped out of the past, and it has been remembered by the people of the whole country, although the negative and positive images are mixed.

However, the most important thing in the entertainment industry is fame, and a bad reputation is better than no fame, otherwise how did the scandal hype come about?

And Datang International also began to take advantage of the hot iron to start preparing for the filming of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" because of the hot hype on this topic. The director was already selected some time ago, and several directors were interested in directing this TV series at that time, and finally chose Director Zheng Long, who has the strongest appeal and the most experience, to direct.

Datang International has strong strength, and in just half a month, the corresponding actors for each role have been carefully selected.

The director of the famous mainland actress Kong Li, with her eyebrow bangs, simple bun and light pink flag costume, thinks it is very much in line with Zhen Huan in the original work.

And the famous Hong Kong actor Chen Jianbin has a mustache, slightly open eyes, a fat and thick figure, and exudes an uncle's atmosphere everywhere, which is in line with the image of the emperor in the play from appearance to temperament.

The cast is screened.

On October 5, 2000, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was officially launched.

Big-name directors, many celebrities gathered, coupled with the gossip and public opinion hype during this time, attracted hundreds of media to come for interviews on the day of the start.

However, Wang Shang did not appear in a low-key manner, which made those media who wanted to catch Wang Shang's bite can't help but sigh.

Subsequently, Datang International released a little news about "The Legend of Zhen Huan" every few days, and the stills, lines and everything were revealed a little, which aroused the curiosity and attention of many people.

There are already a lot of people who are eagerly waiting for the show to start!
