Chapter 249: Crowdfunding Taomeng.com
Xu Hao has been paying attention to the information of this year's art examination.
December 2016 is the time for the joint entrance examination for art students in Suzhou Province, and the joint entrance examination is like a ticket to an art school, not a ticket. Art schools such as Nortel, Shangju, China Opera, and Communication University will hold separate admissions exams, and the time will be after the joint entrance examination. Sometimes you need a JAE score, sometimes you don't.
Every winter, a large number of art students brave the cold to come to the north. Kyo lives in a small inn, waiting for the door to the temple of art.
Xu Hao is also going to participate in this feast this year.
In order to cope with the exam, Xu Hao not only trained the voice table to cope with the exam of the acting department, but also read a lot of books related to the directing department and practiced art. He hopes that he can be admitted to art school, especially Nortel, which will round his knot of failing twice.
Xu Hao believes that he is now sure to cope with the examination of the acting department, and his acting skills have been praised by many directors.
However, it is difficult to say that if the director praises, Nortel's teachers will be admitted, after all, Xu Hao already has his own traces of performance, and some teachers may appreciate a blank piece of paper more. That's why he takes care of both the directing department and the art department.
As long as he really passed the art test, he worked hard to sprint for the cultural class.
Then he got an acceptance letter that proved to him.
As for going to school at that time, Xu Hao also thought about it carefully, if he really plunged into the university in order to pursue art, the company would definitely fry the pot. Therefore, going to school can only be done in addition to work, going to school to listen to lectures, feel about university life, and meet some friends.
However, whether the school will let him go half-heartedly is not something that Xu Hao considers.
It's a big deal, take a break and take a leave of absence!
Anyway, with his current acting skills, it doesn't matter if he is in school or not.
After communicating these ideas with Li Shan, Li Shan was no longer worried, and said to Xu Hao: "Your idea is very good, I believe you can be admitted to Nortel." You're the first artist I've brought in, and to be honest, I don't just think of you as an actor, it's funny, I'm almost looking at you as a son. ”
"Huh?" Xu Hao bared his teeth and said speechlessly, "Sister Shan, it's not funny at all, it's better to see it as a younger brother or nephew than as a son." ”
"Okay, let's look at my brother. Of course, the agent hopes that the actor can make money, and I also hope that you can make money, but I hope that you can have a better development in the future, going to school, it will be helpful to you, and I also hope that you can go to school. I think, after performing "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" next year, I won't give you some small roles casually, this year we will weigh it, next year we will focus on quality, and in your free time, you will go to school. ”
Li Shan thought about him, Xu Hao was of course a little moved, but Li Shan didn't know Xu Hao's heart and didn't pay attention to what he could learn in art school: "Sister Shan, let's talk about it then, even if you are admitted, you will have to wait until September next year to start school." Maybe at that time, I will suddenly become popular, and it will be easy to solve it. ”
"Yes, okay, you just do it according to your own ideas, here for the art exam, where you need it, just tell me, and I'll do it for you."
"Thank you, Sister Shan."
……
Xu Hao patiently filmed the scenes of the last few days of "Night Man", thinking that he would spend this period of time quietly, who knew that there were friends from afar.
A few days after Xu Hao signed "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", Wu Qian called and said that she was coming to the north. Jing is coming, she is coming to the north. Kyo is mainly attended in the north. At a micro-film exchange meeting held in Beijing, one of the micro-films in which she participated will be screened at the exchange meeting.
When she came here, she naturally wanted to find Xu Hao.
When Xu Hao finished work in the afternoon, he saw Wu Qian wearing a handsome gray windbreaker, and Jiajia, an assistant who followed her with her bag.
"Sister Qian, sassy and heroic, I was almost fascinated by you." Xu Hao's mouth should not be too sweet.
Wu Qian tilted her head slightly confidently and smiled: "I won't help if I fall, so as not to be blackmailed." ”
"Hey, Sister Qian, what about the trust between people?"
"Boys with too sweet mouths are not trustworthy, this is what my mother often tells me."
Xu Hao pretended to be aggrieved: "Auntie is too arbitrary, if Auntie sees me, she will definitely praise me for being an honest and trustworthy good boy, and even recruit me as a son-in-law." ”
"Cut, unless my mom has a bad eye." Wu Qian suddenly punched Xu Hao and hammered it on the shoulder, a very boyish way of greeting.
Of course, Xu Hao didn't take advantage of the situation to give her another punch.
"Let's go, Sister Qian, Sister Jiajia, I have already asked Hua Xia to book a seat in the hotel."
When they arrived at the restaurant and ordered food, Xu Hao and Wu Qian chatted with each other.
"I'm coming to the North this time. Beijing, in addition to participating in the micro-film exchange meeting, also has to shoot a photo album for a desk calendar manufacturer, possibly in the north. I stayed in Beijing for a week and came to the north several times. Jing,It's just that I'm in a hurry.,I didn't go to a place to play.,It's a pity.。 Wu Qian pouted.
The appearance of her pouting is not as tender and pretentious as that of ordinary little girls, but it is just as cute, Xu Hao took a little effort to take his eyes off her lips: "Do you need me to accompany you for a walk around the north. Capital? ”
"Do you have time?"
"Now that my drama has reached the end of the sweeping work, I often have a half-day break and a half-day filming, and I still have free time."
"Okay, you can accompany me to the micro-film exchange meeting."
"What time is it?"
"At three o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, at the China Film Museum."
"Okay." Xu Hao simply agreed, and then turned his head and asked Hua Xia, "By the way, am I free that day?" Let's see if you need to take time off. ”
Hua Xia didn't need to look at the notebook, and reported it directly: "You don't need to ask for leave, there will be no drama in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, and there will be no drama in the morning of the day after tomorrow." ”
Hearing that Xu Haoda was also free the morning after tomorrow, Wu Qian's eyes lit up: "That's right, accompany me to the Taiwan Calendar Factory the morning after tomorrow." ”
"OK, No-problem." Xu Hao blurted out.
After dinner, I pressed the road for a while, because there were two assistants with me, I always felt that the chat was not fun enough, and at nine o'clock, I sent Wu Qian to the taxi and left.
In the afternoon of the next day, Xu Hao went to the hotel where Wu Qian lived as promised, and then went to the China Film Museum with Wu Qian.
The micro-film exchange meeting held this time is called "Taomeng.com Helps 2016 Crowdfunding Micro Film Exchange Platform Exhibition", the name is a bit long, slightly domineering, but the exchange meeting is relatively shabby, and there are no celebrities who come to participate in this exchange meeting, Wu Qian is a big name here.
When entering the venue, Xu Hao also got a brochure from the organizer, which introduced Taomeng.com and this exchange meeting.
Wu Qian went to the seat in the exchange area, and Xu Hao took the booklet and found a seat in the back row.
Before the exchange meeting began, I looked at the introduction in the brochure.
The micro-film exchange meeting was hosted by Taomeng.com, a website that provides professional film and television crowdfunding and distribution sales, founded in 2012 by four post-85 youths.
The website is an online financing platform through crowdfunding, where film teams can publish shooting plans, list budgets, present teams, record progress, communicate, seek cooperation, and finally complete the creation of the work. Engage viewers, investors, advertisers, and publishers in the process.
Taomeng.com has successfully produced and released a series of works such as "Erlonghu Haoge", "Taoist Priest Out of the Mountain", and "Domestic Hero".
These successfully released films have made Taomeng.com, which has not been established for a long time, begin to make profits. Now Taomeng.com has cooperated with a number of channel providers, even including foreign YouTube platforms, and the website valuation has reached 200 million yuan.
This micro-film exchange is a demonstration of Taomeng.com's achievements, hoping to attract more channel providers to join.
After the exchange meeting began, the format was a bit monotonous, and when a micro-film was screened, the host invited the main creator to come on stage to talk about it.
Wu Qian participated in a public welfare micro-film called "Angel in White", which tells the story of saving lives and helping the wounded. After Wu Qian came to the stage, she said some feelings about making movies, and by the way, she thanked the platform Taomeng.com.
So, Balabala.
In a flash, the three-hour exchange meeting came to an end.
Xu Hao was still watching seriously in the first half, and when he waited for the second half, his mind drifted away, thinking of his prize, "Beggar's Music".
This is a micro-film from the future, which has become a must-learn work in film and television colleges at that time, and it is not clear which year it was filmed, but the quality is absolutely guaranteed.
This time, seeing Taomeng.com, a crowdfunding platform, can publish creative ideas, and then contact investment channels, Xu Hao is inevitably a little moved and wants to drum up "Beggar's Music".
Wouldn't it be wonderful if this micro-movie became popular.
However, if you want to make a micro-movie, it is not difficult to say, you can shoot it with a handheld DV, but it is not easy to shoot well. Xu Hao has been in the crew for so long, he knows the troubles and difficulties of filming, not to mention the investment for the time being, from the script to the scene, it is all work that requires a lot of energy and money.
It may be a micro-movie, only a few minutes or more than ten minutes, but it is such a length, and the amount of work required can scare people to death.
Without the cooperation of a professional team, it is difficult to shoot the best and reach the level of the movie.
The requirements for acting skills and shots of "Beggar's Music" are absolutely cinematic, and they can't be filmed blindly with DV.
"Sister Qian, do you know someone from Taomeng.com, can you help me introduce me?" After the end, Xu Hao decided to learn about the specific crowdfunding of a micro-film first, so he asked Wu Qian.
Wu Qian said suspiciously: "I don't know, but the director of our micro-film knows several CEOs of Taomeng.com, do you want to meet them?" ”
Xu Hao nodded: "Well, I suddenly have some idea of a micro-movie, and I want to communicate with them." ”
"Okay, our director hasn't left yet, I'll tell him and ask him to do me a favor."
Soon, Xu Hao introduced the director of "Angel in White" and made an appointment with Yin Chao, CEO of Taomeng.com, to have a meal together at seven o'clock in the evening. (To be continued.) )
