The press conference of Bright Video was held at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Beijing, and it was He Yueran, CEO of Bright Video, who presided over the press conference.
He Yueran turned out to be the chief content officer of Cool and was poached by Gu Wei to serve as the CEO of Bright Times.
Su Luo was in charge of the operation of Bright Video at the beginning, but she had a lot of things at hand and was too busy to do so, until He Yueran came to Bright Video, Su Luo was more relaxed.
The full name of this press conference is "Bright Video.11 Degrees Youth Launch Conference", which is selected by Bright Video as a total of 11 short stories as support objects, and these 11 short stories are shot Bright Videos provide 800,000 support funds for each short story, and provide certain technical guidance to each other.
The selected directors and screenwriters have already arrived at the site of the Park Hyatt Hotel, sitting in the position arranged by the bright video, waiting for the official start of the press conference.
This project was held together with China Film, and Bright Video also invited the leaders of China Film Group, and Han Sanping, chairman of China Film, did not attend in person, but also entrusted a vice president to come, which also expressed the importance of China Film to this press conference.
"It was Zhang Changsheng, the vice president of China Film, who just walked in, right? The bright video is quite big this time. ”
"I can only say that I am rich and capricious, and I just throw 10 million into it, and I don't know if I can hear it."
"Do you want to buy horse bones, no matter what the quality of these 11 short works supported by Bright Video is, the fame of Bright Video is out."
"Yes,Bright video has opened up the function of individual users to upload works,As soon as this activity is held,I don't know how many people in the industry will choose to publish their works on bright video,In case you are caught by bright video,It's a step to the sky。
"This is a combination punch directly to the gloom, I don't know how the gloom will deal with it."
"Shhh
In the press area, several people who were familiar with the invited reporters discussed quietly for a while, and the press conference officially began.
The lights of the entire venue dimmed, and an image appeared on the large screen directly in front of the venue.
This is a well-crafted video.
Since 1901, the old black and white images of Chinese films have appeared on the screen, from black and white films to color films, with the work as a fragment in years, reviewing the development history of Chinese films, and a sense of vicissitudes of history has come to the face.
The image disappeared, and lines of large italicized characters appeared in front of everyone.
[Who will record our real lives]
[Who will witness our flying youth]
The lights came on again, and a large background sign for the 11-degree youth launch conference appeared in front of everyone.
Thunderous applause.
He Yueran walked on the stage with a relaxed step, and after the applause from the audience gradually subsided, he said with a smile: "Distinguished leaders, distinguished guests, good afternoon." Welcome to the scene of the 11 degrees youth launch conference of Bright Video. There are now 240 million people in China watching videos online, and it is foreseeable that this number will increase rapidly over time. This has been confirmed that video has become the fourth largest application of the Internet. ”
The audience was quiet, except for the rustling sound of shorthand, basically everyone was listening carefully to He Yueran's speech.
"Watching videos on the Internet has become an important channel for netizens to consume time. In the past, we could only watch movies in the cinema, but now we can just turn on the computer and enjoy one wonderful blockbuster movie after another. Internet audiences have unique views and aesthetic habits, in order to conform to this trend, it is also an important strategy of Bright Video, Bright Video and our China Film Group jointly held the 11 Degrees Youth Series Film Support Program. ”
Speaking of this, He Yueran paused, and there was a burst of applause at the scene.
"This support plan is also an important attempt of Bright Video, we are trying to explore a film with Internet attributes and suitable for the viewing habits of young audiences on the Internet. This innovative form will bring a new experience to netizens and young audiences, and I believe that this experience can attract a large number of audiences, and it also contains great commercial value. ”
"Compared with traditional audiences, Internet video users also have a more in line with their own aesthetics, Internet users are relatively younger, more enthusiastic, and brave to break through, which we have a deeper understanding of Bright Video."
"So today, we invited Mr. Peng Mingyu, deputy general manager of China Film Group, and Jiang Hong, director of the planning department of China Film Group. So first of all, I would like to invite Mr. Peng to give us a wonderful speech. ”
In Chinese practice, the leader makes a speech first......
Peng Mingyu made a passionate but contentless speech, and this link passed, although the reporters recorded Mr. Peng's speech, but there was nothing in their minds.
After the leader's speech, He Yueran took the stage and continued: "This year's "11 Degrees of Youth Series Films" film action brings together 11 young cutting-edge directors to direct a series of new media short films, with themes involving romance, fantasy, suspense, time, love, friendship, life, joy, anger, tragedy and other rich content, presenting the theme of "youth and struggle" from multiple angles. Each one is made because of you and comes for you. This is a grand movie without an audience, because everyone, is the real protagonist. ”
There was another round of applause from the audience, especially the directors or screenwriters of the 11 short stories, many of whom were staring at each other and blushing with excitement.
This kind of creation with money paid by the owner and no restriction on the subject matter is too rare and rare.
When the scene quieted down, He Yueran continued: "Among the directors who joined this film are Shen Yan, the director who has directed the hit dramas "Chinese-style Divorce" and "Mobile Phone", Lu Yang, the director of the first prize of the National University Film Festival "Going Home", and animation director Pi San and Zhang Yadong, who has crossed over from the music industry. In addition, Tian Meng, Yin Lichuan, Yang Shupeng, Zhuang Yuxin, Zhang Yaguang, Xiao Yang, Li Feng and other outstanding young directors have also confirmed their joining. ”
Among these people, there are both well-known screenwriters and directors, and there are also completely newcomers, Gu Cancan strictly followed the way of only looking at the content and not looking at the author when selecting the script for the bright video, and the scripts selected were all after multiple reviews and comparisons.
In fact, during this period, Bright Video also received the script of the God of Fortune, the script was very exciting, He Yueran and other reviewers unanimously gave excellent evaluations, but Gu Cancan intervened and brushed the God of Fortune down.
He Yueran didn't understand this, the God of Wealth also participated in the 11th degree of youth, what a big gimmick this is, such a great god didn't hurry up and entertain him well, but he refused directly, Gu Cancan Did he take the wrong medicine in his brain?
He was admitted to the Department of Finance of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics at the age of 15, and after graduating from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics at the age of 19, he followed his father to learn futures trading.
In the first month of being a broker, counting commissions and salaries, Ningcaishen earned more than 100,000 yuan. It was 1994 and the God of Fortune was 19 years old.
The futures market fluctuated, and in 1999, his assets of 3 million yuan drifted away like smoke, and the futures business went bankrupt.
At the end of 1999, he changed careers to become the director of operations of the original literary website "Under the Banyan Tree" in Shanghai, where he stayed for nearly three years, and it was during this period that he became the leader of China's first generation of online writers, and was named one of the "troika" of the Internet.
Later, due to the bursting of the Internet economic bubble, Ningcaishen resigned and left the website, and began to try to be a screenwriter at the instigation of his friend Yu Baimei.
In fact, before writing "Wulin Gaiden", Ningcai God had already written many series of sitcoms such as "Health Express" and "Urban Men and Women", and won the Feitian Award. And what really made him make a statement was in 2005 when he served as the chief screenwriter of the TV series "Wulin Gaiden", which was a huge success.
It can be said that the God of Wealth can lie on "Wulin Gaiden" comfortably for the rest of his life.
But his excellent business acumen allowed him to devote himself to the online game industry and the entertainment industry, and he made a lot of money.
This is really a very talented person, if not poisoned.
There are other problems, Gu Cancan can understand and even tolerate, but the West poison is unforgivable.
He was addicted to drugs, and he was very sorry and shocked. Thinking that he understood and saw through, he said that he was taking drugs to find inspiration, and the realm of talented people was nonsense that we didn't understand, Gu Cancan thought to himself, forget it, say that Jobs also takes drugs, and the American entertainment industry takes drugs, as if it is normal for Chinese literati to take drugs, what logic, good don't learn, and degenerate.
Gu Cancan did this, of course, he also offended the God of Wealth, who once threatened to give the bright video a good look at a friend's party.
Gu Cancan doesn't take this to heart at all, let's take care of yourself first.
The launch conference of the 11 Degrees Youth Series Film Support Program has made Bright Video the object of public attention again, saying that it is the launch plan, but in fact, most of the short films have been filmed.
While the heat is still there, Bright Video first announced six works on its own website.
These six works are: "Li Lei and Han Meimei", "The Secret of the Boxer", "Aze's Summer", "Miss Puff's Goldfish Bowl", "Hey" and "Hunt for Wei Zhongxian".
When these six works appeared on the bright video, the number of hits soon exceeded one million, and the bright video opened the permission to reprint, and these works were reprinted on the Internet, and for a while, the 11 degrees youth series film support plan became the object of public discussion inside and outside the industry.
The event was in full swing, and everyone wanted to see how it went.
……
Soon, quite professional reviews appeared on the web.
Nowadays, the "11 Degrees Youth Series Movies" produced by the popular bright video on major networks involves mainstream topics for young people such as ideals, love, and entrepreneurship.
This series of movies mainly expresses the living conditions of a group of young people who start their own businesses in the city, they have no background, no economic strength, no power, and they are a group of real "ant tribes", which are destined to be ignored.
The reason why this series of movies can be popular among young people is also because this series of movies just expresses the voices of most young people.
Although the producer of the movie is the awesome Han Sanbottle, the directors are all little-known directors. The total duration of the 6 movies is only a small movie of one and a half hours, and the amount of support can only be regarded as a sample of small productions.
By the way, domestic films rarely deal with the state of young people, and rarely involve the real human aspect of the theme, except for the rural theme of Zhang Yimou in the early days.
Now I am slowly expressing the psychology of young people nowadays, and compared with foreign countries, it is quite rare. A "Suzhou Creek" was also banned.
Love is an eternal topic for human beings, and as long as they are human, they will yearn for its arrival. However, when love comes, we don't have the ability to grasp it.
"Li Lei and Han Meimei", "Miss Puff's Goldfish Bowl", and "Hey" are all kinds of short films, whether they are young or secular love or passion, and they can't hold hands to the end.
Because although we long for love, we are afraid of true love in our hearts. We have lost all kinds of trust in people, even if we sign a love contract, so what? In the end, he defected. Love is the game of the brave, and it requires a fearless revolutionary spirit that will die and then be born. Just imagine, how many people can play such a game to the end, even if we stick to it to the end, will we regret it?! So when we can't hold on, we make all kinds of excuses for ourselves to escape, including death. However, these excuses show that we do not have the courage to face the love we want. Love is made with two hearts, and hearts are invisible to us. Suspicion, vacillation, hurt, worldliness, etc., can make us lose faith in love, and even despair. When true love comes, we no longer believe it. Like Miss Puff.
In addition to love, young people will also care about entrepreneurship and health. Cities are not necessarily suitable for everyone who starts a business, and "Aze's Summer" beautifully expresses the model of entrepreneurial success. Everyone is not necessarily clear about their positioning, and everyone who can clearly define their own life positioning will definitely succeed.
This is the best of times, but also the worst times, mainly depending on how we look at it. When we look at it with a critical, dark eye, the world sees us as well. "The Boxer's Secret" is an expression of this kind of theme. Why not look at the world differently? I see how charming Qingshan is, and I expect Qingshan to see me like this. Mindset matters.
"Chasing Wei Zhongxian" is the only martial arts suspense short film with a costume theme in this series, I personally don't like martial arts, I haven't read this one, so I won't comment on it. ”
This article has been read very well, and in a sense, this article has also played a very big role in promoting the 11 Degrees Youth series of movies.
It's just that in Gu Cancan's opinion, the short film "Chasing Wei Zhongxian" that he ignored is the real essence of it.
The author of "Chasing and Killing Wei Zhongxian" is Lu Yang.
