After a two-month selection competition, nearly 30 excellent works appeared in the "King of Short Films" program group, among which Wang Zhengze's "You Must Not Have Thought", Xue Feifei's "Empty Nester", Guan Xiaojie's "Youth with Nowhere to Place" and other contestants' works have the most top-notch hits on the Internet.

It's June 15th.

After more than ten episodes of the program were broadcast, on this day, the selection of the top 30 and the top 15 officially began.

"This is the large-scale talent show 'King of Short Films' hosted by Yiku Chinese Online, titled by Nokoa Group, and sponsored by Meilai Herbal Tea, welcome everyone to the show site, hello everyone, I am the host Peng Yu!"

Peng Yu brushed a short hedgehog head, looked at the script in his hand, and then faced the audience of hundreds of people at the scene, and said loudly: "First of all, congratulations to the "King of Short Films" program group The click rate has officially exceeded 100 million, since the start of the program, "The King of Short Films" has been supported and loved by the majority of enthusiastic netizens, and excellent works have been born......

……

……

"It's really exciting to think about! These two months have passed quickly, and the top 15 in the country will be decided in a blink of an eye. ”

When Peng Yu said some opening remarks, on the judges' bench, Zhang Kaili smiled and said: "I have benefited a lot from being fortunate enough to participate in this show, and I can recognize you three big names, and it is worth my trip." ”

Huang Baiming nodded seriously, especially when he looked at Zhang Heng, his eyes were even more different.

witnessed the box office of "People in the Rivers and Lakes" soaring, and Huang Baiming's emphasis on Zhang Heng continued to rise.

Feng Xiaogang waved his hand on the side: "Where are we considered big coffees, but let's be more serious, now Boss Zhang, who has a box office of more than 300 million in the new movie, is the biggest big coffee!" ”

Without the domineering in the early stage of the show, when Feng Xiaogang learned that Zhang Heng's Virgo box office exceeded 300 million, even if he was not ashamed of the content of "People in the Rivers and Lakes", his attitude was a 180-degree change.

Zhang Heng sat aside, turned his back to the audience, and said helplessly: "Director Feng, don't kill newcomers, I went to the cinema to watch your "Big Shot" in person, and the box office is just around the corner!" ”

Feng Xiaogang hummed, there was no answer, "Big Names" has just exceeded 40 million, which has already made investors and himself overjoyed, but it is difficult to break 100 million!

And the sentence "sycophant" just now is already the highest level he can shoot, and if he is asked to congratulate Zhang Heng against his conscience, he will be sorry for the glorious title of one of the five major directors in China given to him by the outside world.

Huang Baiming said: "Zhang Heng, I heard that your company has a separate screenwriting team, so there are good scripts in the future, do you have any ideas for selling?" ”

Feng Xiaogang glanced at Zhang Heng on the side.

"Not yet, but with Brother Huang's skills, I'm afraid the general script won't be able to get into your eyes......" Zhang Heng said with a smile.

Huang Baiming is now the chairman of the board of directors of Xiangjiang Oriental Cinema, a former screenwriter, with multiple identities such as actor, director, producer, investor, etc., and is a first-class entertainer in the Xiangjiang entertainment industry.

Huang Baiming sighed and said: "Nowadays, our Xiangjiang people's films, even big-name directors like Wang Jing and Wang Jiawei, dare not say that they can produce good movies, and now the entire Xiangjiang film market is almost driven by Zhou Xingxing alone, but nonsense has never rushed out of the Asian ......."

Zhang Heng nodded, Huang Baiming's tone was full of unwilling loneliness, it is almost every filmmaker's wish to send the motherland's films to the big screen all over the world, and Zhang Heng is no exception, but Chinese and Western cultures clash with each other, and without in-depth exchanges, it is impossible to make movies that can make Western audiences.

Li An's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has taken the first step and has already surprised Huaxia, but Zhang Heng knows that if Huaxia films want to break out of Asia and go to the world, I am afraid it will take a long time to follow Li An's current steps.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Heng desperately wants to obtain funds and set up a special effects company, but the immaturity of the current special effects company also makes Zhang Heng reluctant to retreat and concentrate on making commercial movies and TV series with strong stories.

Because even if Ang Lee won the Oscar with "Life of Pi" in later life, it was only because of the film's perfect 3D effects, dazzling visual spectacle, and a large number of fans in the novel version.

It's clear that there's a full-fledged VFX team.

But in reality, even if "People in the Rivers and Lakes" successfully earns 400 million yuan, if you want to burn a good special effects movie, it is just a dream.

"I haven't received a good script yet, I've been very busy lately, of course, if I have the idea of exporting the script, I will definitely contact Brother Huang as soon as possible!" Zhang Heng said with a smile.

Huang Baiming's spirits perked up, and his gaze at Zhang Heng became kind.

"Zhang Heng, thank you for recommending me to participate in that TV series, but it's not directed by you, I'm still a little worried......"

On the side, Zhang Kaili complained: "That director Jiang Haitao is really stubborn, it was the script you provided, and it was a mess modified by him, and he didn't respect the copyright of the author at all!" Fortunately, director Liu Jiang respects intellectual property rights after all. ”

Zhang Heng smiled and didn't say a word, about the role of the second female in the script of "Let's Get Married", the role of Xue Sumei, the mother of star fruit, Zhang Heng had already contacted the crew before the conflict between him and Jiang Haitao broke out, and recommended Zhang Kaili to audition, but later he was suppressed by Jiang Haitao and couldn't do it.

After the conflict broke out, the entire crew was personally interrogated by Zhao Xingliang, not only Jiang Haitao's position as director was dismissed, but even the actor Zhang Kaili, who was recommended by Zhang Heng before, also successfully starred after the audition.

If it weren't for the news being deliberately suppressed, Yinggu Film and Television's move of taking care of Zhang Heng like this would probably set off a storm in the industry.

Even so, after Zhang Kaili joined the crew of "Let's Get Married", she also deeply understood Zhang Heng's energy, so she continued to try to Zhang Heng in the "King of Short Films" program, and during the program, she continued to insert various advertisements released in "People in the Rivers and Lakes" in the program.

"People in the Rivers and Lakes" can have a high record box office of 300 million, and Zhang Kaili's undisciplined continuous promotion in the show also played a certain role.

But in this way, it offended Feng Xiaogang's work "Big Shot", which was released almost at the same time as "People in the Rivers and Lakes", but was dumped far away at the box office.

3 of "People in the Rivers and Lakes". 700 million and 40 million in "Big Names" are simply worlds apart, not to mention the investment between the two, which is basically the same.

Therefore, Feng Xiaogang was jealous of Zhang Heng, and he was also very resentful of Zhang Kaili.

At this time, the host Peng Yu finished his opening remarks, and after welcoming the four judges one by one, the selection of the top 30 and 15 of the program officially began.

"Hello audience friends, hello to the four judges, I am Guan Xiaojie, and the work I brought today is - "Adolescence"!" Guan Xiaojie has half-length short hair, a slightly fat figure, wearing a pair of glasses that look Sven, standing on the stage, holding a microphone, and said generously: "This story tells the story of a post-80s troubled girl who is in adolescence, the length is a bit long, about fifty minutes, please include the audience and the four judges." ”

Zhang Heng's eyes widened suddenly, "Adolescence"?

Why is it so familiar?

Zhang Heng fell into deep thought.

"Fifty minutes? It's already a movie! Feng Xiaogang shook his head and said, looking not optimistic.

"It's a bit off topic." Zhang Kaili also frowned.

"Please start playing!"

Huang Baiming glanced at Zhang Heng, who was silent, and said with a smile on the side, "I look forward to you bringing us surprises!" ”

Guan Xiaojie nodded, and under the expectant gaze of the audience, he retreated into the background.

At the same time, the lights of the entire stage dimmed instantly.

The next moment, on the big screen, the film began to play.

"Guan Xiaojie? Adolescence? ”

Zhang Heng was in the dark, watching the film playback, and muttered to himself: "This guy is the director who filmed the "Adolescence" series in his previous life? ”

"Could it be that the post-90s girl will appear in the film, what is Zhao and Zhao Yihuan?"

Zhang Heng couldn't help but be amazed when he thought of the "Adolescence" micro-movie, which was known as a micro-movie series in his previous life, but which could surprisingly bring more than traffic revenue after being released on the Internet.

"The 'viral marketing' invented by this kid in his previous life made "Adolescence" an instant hit, and he was barely a talent, but he only won the attention of young boys with his youthful and beautiful little beauties, and he couldn't become a big tool, and such a thing was transferred to the big screen, and it was ironclad to die."

Looking at Guan Xiaojie, the little fat man standing next to the stage and standing in the dark, Zhang Heng thought about it and was a little puzzled: "But according to the time of his previous life, Zhao Yihuan should not be an adult now, right?" ”
