Chapter 66: Why is it a youth film again?
"Damn, he actually went to Jingying? Not a writer anymore? ”
"What? Isn't a book out yet? Don't, right? I feel like it's better to concentrate on writing books, after all, directing is another industry. ”
"Speechless, I've been reading his books for a few years, and I'm a loyal book fan, right? As a result, it was the first time I knew that he had gone to Jingying. ”
"Upstairs, we're the same, it's the first time I've heard about it, it's shocking!"
"+1, but I'm looking forward to seeing how he goes."
"I'm looking forward to it, but I'm even more looking forward to him making "Heartless Mage"!"
Advertisements have been placed on and off the Kuku website, ready to warm up for a while.
And the only one who can do a gimmick is the director, after all, he is a celebrity. One of the "sprouts" is a juvenile writer; This year, I just finished publishing the fourth book of "Heartless Mage". Plus now a sophomore in Jingying, the topic can still be stir-fried.
Some insiders saw it, and asked friends or teachers in Jingying, curious about what it was. But after all, it hasn't been broadcast yet, and they don't know how the filming is, so they just happened to see and pay attention to it.
The teachers and students of Jingying also knew the news, after all, they had just become popular not long ago, and they didn't expect to sell their works.
There were also a lot of people in the teachers' offices talking about it.
"Yes, it seems that the directing department is about to come out."
"I don't know how much it was sold."
"You can manage how much people sell, and it is your ability to sell it."
"Even if it doesn't sell, it's a good shot."
"Yes, it's okay to shoot, and being able to sell it is the icing on the cake."
"Alas, how many years have there not been one or two big directors."
"Great director? There's still a long way to go. But I finally got a decent one. “
"Don't talk nonsense, then the other kids aren't your students? Aren't they good? A lot of them didn't find the opportunity and didn't have the money to shoot. If you have the opportunity to shoot, you don't necessarily lose to him. ”
"Also, this kid can make his own money to make films. They themselves are good in the world of fiction. ”
This is a conversation between teachers, and overall it is very optimistic and happy. After all, it belongs to them, and it belongs to the glory of the school. It's true to say that there hasn't been a very famous director for many years.
Some students change careers after graduation, while others go on to work as advertising directors after graduation, or as executive directors or assistant directors for others. Most of them have to slowly gain experience and network. There aren't many opportunities to get a solo film or TV series.
It's not that they're bad, no, many of them actually live better than most people, and their incomes are good. But everyone still hopes to produce one or two directors who can take charge of themselves and have relatively great achievements. Otherwise, others will think that the director department of Beijing Film is not worthy of its name now.
"I don't know how much it was sold?"
"It's just a skit, and it's still broadcast on a video site, so there must not be much, right?"
"I also think that although it is very good-looking, the commercial value is not high, and Kuku.com will definitely not spend too much money to buy it."
"But it's pretty powerful, and you can make money from your own short dramas in your sophomore year."
"Alas, that is, if he has money, he has the opportunity to make short dramas, and if I have money, I can do it."
"Also, he should have made a lot of money writing novels, otherwise he wouldn't have any money to squander."
Students are more envious and jealous, after all, they are peers and have a competitive relationship.
Why can he make a short drama, it's not because there are two stinky money! If I could make money writing novels, then I ······
Then what kind of short drama do I make, just write novels and live a living.
……
Li Jingkun himself didn't think too much about it, and after the production of the short drama was completed, he had already started the next step.
It's time to go to class, it's time to write.
Now the short drama has not only been filmed, but it has been sold, and the rest is just to watch its own creation.
What's more important is what comes next.
Yes, of course, new works have to be put on the agenda, and his next work is also a story about youth, about the college entrance examination, and about love, called "Youth Pie".
Why is it a youth film again?
In addition to the advantages of low cost, simple scenes, and fewer characters, it is also in line with the character design.
A sophomore about 20 years old, as soon as he shoots, it is a sci-fi blockbuster, a suspense blockbuster, and a martial arts blockbuster, which is too scary and illogical.
What does it mean to be logical?
Director Li started with campus short films, then campus short dramas, and then low-budget youth films. Although it is beautiful and genius, if you think about it, it is quite reasonable.
Lay the foundation with two or three works first, and then wave a little more steadily.
A few days later, "The Days of Vacancy" will be officially broadcast. Cai Wenwen called him and asked him if he wanted to have dinner, and everyone went to his house again to party, and then watched the premiere of Kuku.com.
"Haven't you seen it? And I've watched it twice. "Li Jingkun has watched it many times, still watching?
"It's different this time, it's officially broadcast, it's of great significance. Sun Hao: They also want to see it. ”
"I think you're looking for all sorts of reasons to eat and drink, right?"
Gatherings for all sorts of reasons.
"Yes and what? Aren't you welcome? ”
Okay, this does mean something different to them, and it can be said that it is also their own virgin work, and it does have a sense of ceremony.
And then it was on fire.
"Vacant Days" had more than 200,000 hits on the first day of its premiere, more than 300,000 on the second and third days, and 6.7 million per day in the following days.
This is calculated according to the number of hits of the first episode, and if it is counted according to three episodes, of course, it will be doubled.
So many times we will see what clicks break how many billions and billions, that is dozens of episodes added together, and we have to subtract some of the bought.
So what are the grades?
The results are very good, and it can even be said that they are very hot.
First of all, the trailer of Kuku.com is the best, the publicity is in place, and the volume of the body is not small; Secondly, Li Jingkun himself is also a major attraction, and there are many book fans accumulated over the past few years.
In the end, of course, it returns to the short drama itself, that is, the quality is excellent, the lines are interesting, and it is close to the lives of young people.
The users of video websites are definitely different from the audience of TV stations, the former is younger, and the target audience of short dramas is exactly the same, so it is very much in line with their tastes.
Many of the lines in it have also been circulated on other websites, and many people have posted a lot of sentences on the scarf and penguin space.
"Eighteen multiple-choice questions, you avoided all the answers accurately, amazing."
"You can swim naked in the Yellow River, but I will never lie in muddy water."
"You were blind in the early years, weren't you?"
One of the most widely circulated is of course the sentence: "You can't make good friends if you do this." ”
