Chapter 159: Micro-film Support Activities

In an advertising agency in a dilapidated office building somewhere in Beijing, a middle-aged man is struggling to change the design in front of the computer, his name is Wang Taili, and he is the owner of this advertising company.

Wang Taili looks feminine, his face is white and beardless, and his face is vaguely bitter.

No matter what industry it is, Party A is the father, and Party A has to modify the original plan with a phone call.

The competition in advertising companies is very fierce, and Wang Taili's advertising company business is not too much, and he is just trying to operate, but how to say that he is also the boss, which is much better than the average office worker.

It's the weekend, and there are only two or three kittens in the company, all working silently in front of the computer.

Wang Taili worked hard for a morning, and finally completed the design modification according to the requirements of the other party and sent it to the other party.

Stretching comfortably, Wang Taili got up and moved, sat down again, and opened a web page.

It's a cat fluttering net.

Maopu is a comprehensive website, this spring Wang Taili and his partners formed a group, made an online music movie and threw it on Maopu, the result was a small fire, and the song sung also unexpectedly became popular on the Internet, and this online music film also won the special prize of the first blog competition.

The two have been proud for a long time, and winning this award has also brought a few small orders to Wang Taili's advertising agency, and everything seems to be developing in a good direction.

Opening his work again, Wang Taili looked at it again, although every line and every picture in it was already familiar and could not be more familiar.

"Actually, I'm a musician." Wang Taili thought silently in his heart.

It's just that people always have to succumb to reality and life.

The mobile phone rang suddenly, Wang Taili glanced at the screen, his brows couldn't help frowning, he pursed his lips to connect the phone, and his voice instantly became enthusiastic: "Hello Mr. Deng!" ”

What was said over there, Wang Taili showed an annoyed look on his face, but his tone was still so enthusiastic: "Oh, oh, Mr. Deng, you want to add another element to the advertisement, oops, this, the design has been completed, and the change is more troublesome...... no, no, Mr. Deng, you misunderstood, it's no problem to change, haha, oh have already sent me an email, okay, I will finish the ...... today, hey, okay, no trouble, no trouble, hehe, behold, okay, goodbye, goodbye." ”

The call hung up, Wang Taili slammed the mobile phone on the sofa, pointed at the mobile phone and cursed a few swear words.

Then, Wang Tai rubbed his face with force, rubbed his eyes, smiled bitterly, and sat down on his seat again, intending to start working again.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a man rushed in.

"Brother Wang, good news!"

The person who came in was overjoyed and said to Wang Taili excitedly.

The person who came was none other than Wang Taili's partner, and his name was Xiao Yang.

Wang Taili looked at the jubilant Xiao Yang, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "What's the matter, Xiao Yang, what's the good news?" ”

Xiao Yang is eleven years younger than Wang Taili, and it is also fate that the two know each other.

Xiao Yang is a very talented person, he is very good at art, and later was admitted to the High School Attached to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, concentrating on studying art, during his school years he formed his own band, and then because of his interest in the directing profession, he was admitted to the directing department of Beijing Film Academy.

It was in the process of studying in Nortel's directing department that Wang Taili, who was the owner of an advertising company at the time, asked Xiao Yang to shoot an advertisement, which was also the first advertisement Xiao Yang received in his life.

Later, a combination was formed, called "Chopsticks Brothers", which means that the two are like a pair of chopsticks, no one can do without anyone, chopsticks brothers, never give up.

Wang Taili is very good to Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang has a wide range of friends and spends a lot of money, but he has no regular income, so Wang Taili let Xiao Yang take a stake in his advertising company and give him regular dividends.

Xiao Yang joined Wang Taili's advertising agency, and also brought a lot of business to the advertising company, and he has a wide range of contacts.

Although Wang Taili has been in the society for a long time, he has an introverted personality, and after Xiao Yang joined the advertising company, the two complement each other and cooperate quite tacitly, and the two have a common love for music and movies, which is simply a friendship.

"Look at this news on the Internet." Xiao Yang squeezed Wang Taili aside, sat on the seat and opened a website, and said at the same time: "Brother Wang, Bright Video You know, Bright Video is going to hold an 11-degree youth micro-film event." ”

"Brilliant video?" Wang Taili thought for a while and said, "Oh, it's the video website under the bright times, micro-film activities?" ”

The web page has been opened, and the design of the bright video page is very refreshing and very concise.

There is a big banner on the top of the homepage, the red background is very conspicuous, and the black letters on the red background read: The first bright micro-film - 11 degrees of youth micro-film shooting support activity.

"Micro Film Support Activities?"; Wang Taili looked at the words on it suspiciously.

Xiao Yang clicked on it and explained: "I have understood, this is similar to the Asian rising star director, Bright Video pays to support some directors or people who dream of making movies." ”

"Oh, that's a good thing, the action of bright video is big enough, making a movie is a money-burning job, how much money does it plan to invest?"

Xiao Yang said: "Bright Video officially claims to invest 50 million yuan to support, as long as the script passes their review, all the funds spent on making movies will be responsible for Bright Times!" And if the script is very good, it is okay to make a micro movie into a big movie! Brother Wang, our chance has come! ”

Even if it is a very simple micro-film, it will cost at least tens of thousands of yuan to shoot it now, and the picture quality is estimated to be very touching.

Therefore, any director who has a little pursuit must use professional equipment, just renting a machine is a big expense, plus to hire professional actors, even if it is a micro-film of ten minutes or twenty minutes, I am afraid it will take more than 100,000 or 200,000 or even more money.

Xiao Yang and Wang Taili filmed "Memoirs of a Male Geisha" before, even if the two didn't need to invite actors to perform in person, they spent tens of thousands of yuan.

This is a work for the two to entertain themselves, and if you want to make a movie with a longer plot and more characters, the cost will be even greater. Although the advertising company of the two is profitable, Wang Taili still has a family to support, and Xiao Yang also has a girlfriend......

"Brother Wang, I heard from a friend that this brilliant video is really going to make a big move." Xiao Yang said mysteriously: "This activity is called 11 degrees of youth, and the bright video is to support 11 directors." Although there is no restriction on the number of participants in this event, there is no restriction on the subject matter, as long as you want to participate, you can participate by submitting your own script. But in fact, this is Bright Video screening scripts, and will pick out the best ones among these scripts, and fund them to be made into big movies and released in theaters. ”

"This is a pie in the sky, is there such a selfless dedication in the bright video?" Wang Taili was more cautious and raised his own questions.

Xiao Yang said with a smile: "I've considered all of this, in fact, this is also a marketing of Bright Video in the Bright Era, if this activity is appropriate, it is equivalent to playing a very influential advertisement for Bright Video, and if, I mean, if there is really a phenomenal micro-film, Bright Video will be a national fire." ”

Wang Taili looked at the excited Xiao Yang, nodded and smiled and said, "Hehe, okay, listen to you, let's go out and give it a try." Like you said, it's a rare opportunity. ”

"Yes, Brother Wang, and we have a work that is very popular on the Internet, which is also a plus point for us."

Wang Taili smiled: "It just so happens that we are not planning to shoot the second part of the memoirs of a male geisha." ”

Xiao Yang shook his head: "Brother Wang, the second part of the memoirs of a male geisha is going to be filmed, but this one is not in high style, and it is difficult to stand out from the crowd of scripts, I think we have to come up with a better script." ”

Wang Taili pondered: "The script seems to be styled, and it is inseparable from the word dream, so I may start here." ”

"That's right, Brother Wang, when we used to drink, we didn't talk about the time when we went to school, that kind of yearning and dedication to music, how about we start here?"

"Well, I'll see. The dreams of my youth and the reality of growing up, this theme should be good. ”

The two began to discuss with great interest.

……

"I'm sorry, sir, you didn't have an appointment, I can't have asked you to see the general manager." The soft and beautiful front desk girl resolutely rejected a young man's request to meet Su Luo.

"But I don't have Mr. Su's phone, how can I make an appointment?" This young man looks a little young and vigorous, but he has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and can be called handsome.

Beautiful people are always more tolerant of others, the girl at the front desk secretly glanced at the young man a few times, looked around and saw that there was no one, and whispered: "Sir, if you have enough time, you can wait here for a while, Mr. Su always has to go downstairs upstairs, and today is the weekend, Mr. Gu may also come to the company." ”

"Mr. Gu refers to Gu Cancan?" The young man keenly felt the subtle change in the attitude of the girl at the front desk, and decisively went up the pole and chatted with the girl.

The job of the front desk is to face all kinds of people, and this behavior is also within the scope of responsibility, and there is nothing to do at this time, but the two have a match but a speculation.

"So, you dropped out of Mizuki?" The girl at the front desk was surprised to grow into an "O" shape.

Mizuki University can be said to be one of the most well-known and excellent universities in China, if a student can be admitted to Mizuki, the entire clan will be proud of it, this handsome little brother actually took the initiative to drop out of Mizuki, why is it so unbelievable.

The young man smiled: "Yes, I majored in thermal power in Mizuki, but after dropping out of school in my junior year, I started a small company with others to take on some business projects. ”

The girl at the front desk glanced at him and lowered her evaluation of him by a notch. Why are you such a cow still coming to us for the bright era, bragging.

"Oh, why did you drop out of school, can't you start a business after graduation?" The girl at the front desk asked with interest, "It's boring now anyway, please continue your performance."

The girl at the front desk is soft and beautiful, extremely eye-catching, and the young people are also willing to talk to her more, so when she heard her question, she smiled faintly and said: "You may not believe it, it's because of a dream." ”

"A dream?" The girl at the front desk is a little interested, and the other party's routine is a little different.

The young man nodded heavily and emphatically said, "Yes, a dream!" ”

"What dream?" The girl at the front desk asked cooperatively.

The young man said: "That day, I had a wonderful dream in which a fish was flying in the sky, and there was another space in the sky, and a child lost his life trying to save people. After waking up, I wanted to animate this dream, and luckily, I had a like-minded friend who was very supportive of me, and he told me that if you love someone, climb a mountain, and chase a dream, you might as well be bold. ”

"Wow." The girl at the front desk was attracted by his words, especially the last sentence, which felt so compelling, "So you dropped out of school in order to chase your dreams?" ”

"Yes. Officially, my name is Liang Xuan, the founder of the other side of the sky culture Co., Ltd. Liang Xuan smiled and handed the girl at the front desk a business card.

"The other side of the sky culture Co., Ltd." The girl at the front desk whispered, feeling that the name of this company was quite compelling, and the impression that she had lowered to the other party just now unconsciously rose again.

If what this young man said is true, then he is really quite courageous, for a dream, in order to pursue his dreams, he resolutely dropped out of Mizuki, this kind of determination and courage to do things is really difficult for ordinary people to do.

"Well, okay, I'll take your business card, if you can't see Mr. Su today, I'll give her the business card when I have the chance." The girl at the front desk seemed to be moved by him and offered to help.

Liang Xuan smiled brightly at the girl at the front desk, and asked softly, "Thank you." By the way, I don't know your name yet?"

"My name is Sun Tiantian."

"People are as their name suggests, their names are sweet, and their names are sweet." Liang Xuan's skills in flirting with girls are also handy.

Sun Tiantian giggled.

At this moment, the elevator stopped on the floor of the Bright Era, and someone stepped out of the elevator.

Liang Xuan's spirit was shocked, his body straightened, and the expression on his face quickly became formal.

It was Gu Cancan and Wang Xiaoxiao who stepped out of the elevator.

The two of them carried large bags and small bags on their arms, all kinds of kraft paper and plastic bags, and they had just done some shopping in the shopping mall.

"Mr. Gu, Miss Wang." Sun Tiantian greeted respectfully.

"Hello, sweet." Gu Cancan responded to Sun Tiantian and glanced at Liang Xuan curiously.

Who is this person, looking at the face, it shouldn't be an employee of the bright era, Gu Cancan thought to himself.

Liang Xuan recognized Gu Cancan at a glance, and when he saw Gu Cancan looking at him, he naturally smiled at Gu Cancan's sunny face, and said, "Miss Gu, hello." ”

"Hello."

While speaking, Gu Cancan did not stop, nodded to Liang Xuan and continued to walk inside.

"Miss Gu, wait a minute,"
