"Have you heard that the college student short film competition has entered the selection stage today?"

"Of course I heard about it. There are many juniors and seniors from our school participating in the competition."

"I heard from teachers, especially the seniors, that they attach great importance to this competition. They even said that they take it more seriously than their graduation thesis."

"Ah? Why."

"Haha, you didn't know this, because the judges of this short film competition are the five major entertainment companies. They will definitely dig out new talents from the works and then sign them. For the brothers and sisters, this is quite an opportunity.

Try to get a chance to sign a contract."

"I wonder if there will be a short film competition when we are seniors."

"Then it depends on the influence of this micro-film competition. If we think about it well, we may hold a second and third edition, and then we will have our share."

"But, I saw in the entry catalog posted on the official website of the competition, it seems that there are freshmen and sophomores participating."

"Haha, those who have no idea about their abilities, even if they participate, they are just serving as denominators for others."

"That's right, what can you do if you just rely on the superficial knowledge you learned in freshman and sophomore year? It would be a shame to participate."

At Yanjing Film School, the micro-film competition has become a topic of discussion among students on various occasions.

In classrooms, dormitories, cafeterias, and in various student forums, you will see topics related to the micro film contest.

Although Lin Yu is an auditor at Yanjing Film Academy, he never visits their forums. After all, he is of different ages and has different topics of interest.

Now Lin Yu only cares about topics such as early childhood education and how to train girls.

He doesn't care at all when entertainment stars gossip.

"Brother Yu, have you seen the forum?"

"It really pissed me off. Those people looked down on us. When the catalog of short films that participated in the competition came out, some people actually laughed at us under our works."

"Say we're bringing shame on ourselves."

"Some people say that we haven't even grown our hair yet, so we should just imitate others and make movies."

"How do they know whether my hair has grown all the way or not? I'm so angry."

The phone beeped non-stop, receiving several messages in a row.

Lin Yu casually clicked through the complaint sent by Zhang Kaifeng and replied casually.

"Maybe, when you take a shower."

Zhang Kaifeng thought Lin Yu sent a message to comfort him, but when he saw the message, he almost rolled off the bed.

Fan Yan and He Shuqing felt very uncomfortable when they saw those malicious comments, but they were not that familiar with Lin Yu and were embarrassed to seek comfort from Lin Yu, so they could only hug each other for warmth.

"It's okay, Xiaoyan, we have worked very hard. No matter what the final result is, we are the best."

"Don't worry Shu Qing, I won't care. Didn't Brother Yu say that our work is already the best result within our capabilities? We tried our best and that's enough."

The two of them drank a bowl of the chicken soup that Lin Yu had mentioned over and over again. They felt confident and full of energy and went to class each other.

In order to be professional and avoid unfair voting, this time the selection of the college student short film competition did not choose the method of popular voting. Instead, a professional jury was established, and the five major entertainment companies excluded professionals as members of the jury to collectively evaluate the awards.

The official website only posts basic information such as the name of the participating college students and the school's major grade. Netizens cannot see the participating microfilms.

The final winning short film will be broadcast on the official website.

Investors can also insert advertisements in order to earn a wave of traffic.

A total of more than 100 works participated in the competition, and six works were finally awarded.

Three films will be awarded third prize, two films will be awarded second prize, and one film will be awarded first prize.

Fan Yan said before that as long as you participate in the competition, you will get bonuses, which is actually inaccurate.

It is true that there will be bonuses for participating, but it is not real money. There is a monthly membership card, and this monthly card can only be used in the month of micro-film selection.

In other words, you can watch the final winning work for free.

The ones who can really get money are the 6 award-winning works.

Because filming requires funding, the prize money is awarded to the winning students in the form of filming funds funded by angel investors.

...

Shengkong Entertainment.

"Sister Xiaojuan, I have already contacted the agents of the newly signed senior students, and the names of their works have been sent to me." Qian Yu said sitting opposite Ou Xiaojuan.

Ou Xiaojuan took a sip of coffee and said "hmm" softly.

Qian Yu continued, "But I heard that Modern Fruit and Mina Tianyu also sent newcomers from their own companies to participate. I also got the names of their short films here. When you go to participate in the jury

You can also pay attention to avoid letting them take advantage of the loopholes."

Ou Xiaojuan glanced at several movie titles sent by Qian Yu on her phone.

"Do you really need to go to this small competition in person? How about I ask the film and television department to send someone to go there? Anyway, it is just to canvass votes for our own newcomers, and then we can step on those companies by the way."

Yu said casually.

Ou Xiaojuan smiled and shook her head, "I don't want to go just to praise our own newcomers and step on others."

"What's that for?" Qian Yu asked in confusion.

"Look for better seedlings." Ou Xiaojuan said with a smile.

Ou Xiaojuan only takes care of Lin Yu now. She is very busy at work, and thanks to Lin Yu's peace of mind, he never causes trouble and can find work by himself, and is very "helpful". Therefore, Ou Xiaojuan takes care of this newcomer without any effort.

So it doesn't matter to her.

But for other artists, she has absolutely no experience in leading them.

Even so, as Shengkong's number one manager, she must be looking for potential artists for the company.

What entertainment companies fear most is the disconnect between the older generation of artists and the new generation of artists.

Many companies have preferences. Some companies prefer music, some prefer TV series, and some prefer movies.

Because each company prefers different content, it also leads to their preferences in cultivating artists.

There will be more singers who prefer to be trained in music, and there will be more actors who prefer film and television training.

But in movies and TV series, those who can make good movies may not necessarily be good at making TV series, and those who are good at making TV series may not necessarily be good at making movies.

Once you have a preference, there will be more supporting behind-the-scenes workers, and the natural thing about music is to introduce more talented songwriters and musicians.

In terms of film and television dramas, there are even more screenwriters, directors, photographers, etc.

The reason why the public feels that there is no one who is good at it actually means that they are not biased and develop in a balanced way.

This is a concept of Ou Xiaojuan. She hopes that the company can develop in a balanced way. Although it seems that there is no part that she is very good at at present, it is precisely because there is no part that she is very good at that only comprehensive development can be achieved.

When they eventually develop into a comprehensive hexagon, other companies will shine.

Ou Xiaojuan has also been working hard for her ideals.

She made phone calls and went to her home to sign the contract in person. Ou Xiaojuan also put in a lot of effort for Lin Yu.

Facts have proved that her choice was not wrong.

Lin Yu has indeed benefited the music department. He has written many new songs, made several new artists popular, and also helped already popular artists become even more popular.

However, the film and television industry has not yet discovered a potential star like Lin Yu. Ou Xiaojuan wanted to try this competition to see if she could meet one or two newcomers who could be trained, so she took the time to be a judge.

In order to be fair and impartial, the organizer gathered judges sent by the five major entertainment companies to watch the short film and then evaluate and score it on the spot.

Because the short film is not very long, a few people can watch it in less than a week together.

The contract signed between the organizer and the judges also provides remuneration on a weekly basis.

Of course, if you look quickly, the awards will be decided in less than a week. Even if the workload is completed ahead of schedule, the settlement will be based on the one week time limit in the contract.

Originally, people like Ou Xiaojuan would not participate in this kind of event. Senior directors or screenwriters from the company's film and television department or outstanding actors would usually be sent to participate.
