Chapter 210 Find someone
After the experience of "You in My Eyes", Zhang Xinjia and Zhang Huaqiang did not go out to smoke again, but carefully watched the following short film.
"I thought the quality was higher toward the back, but it turns out it's just the quality of that one." Zhang Huaqiang said with some disappointment.
"Yeah, maybe we overestimated the level of college students. After all, we haven't had any contact with professionals. When we were students, we relied on our own imagination to make the movies we liked. So the quality is not high." Zhang Xinjia finished reading all the microblogs.
The movie was a relief.
He used to use his own ideas to evaluate the works of college students.
But he is a professional director with thirty years of experience.
When he started making movies, these children were not even born yet. Their professional abilities were indeed not as good as his own, but their ideas were really unconstrained.
Maybe it's not good to be unimaginative, but once it hits the audience's point, it really has unimaginable potential.
It's like the setting of life exchange.
Zhang Xinjia has been working in the industry for 30 years, but he never thought that he could shoot like this or set up characters like this.
They had never thought of it before and did not dare to think about it.
But today’s children dare to think and take pictures.
So he silently retracted his initial words of contempt for college students.
Five judges selected one film for first prize, two films for second prize, and three films for third prize after a week of selection.
The organizers spent a week searching for topics on the Internet, creating gimmicks, and buying hot searches to increase the popularity of the college student micro-film contest.
The time to witness the miracle is coming.
What is the only condition for testing results?
Play volume.
How many netizens are willing to pay to watch the award-winning micro-movie is what the organizers want to see.
Because the organizers and the backers have invested money in the event, the number of views is the only criterion for testing the success of their event.
The winner's name has been announced on the video website, but has not yet been unlocked. The organizer is very good at creating excitement. First, the basic information of the movie will be released, allowing netizens to discuss it, and then they will look forward to unlocking the movie on time in the evening.
"No. 1 "You in My Eyes"?"
"Isn't this the movie where all the main creators are freshmen and sophomores?"
"I'm afraid this is not a shady story. What can I do in my first and second year of college?"
"I don't think it's possible either."
"Let me tell you, in this kind of selection, one of the second placers is likely to be based on strength, and the first place and the first place may be forced in by the entertainment company. Don't ask me how I know, ask me. It's the Entertainment Discipline Inspection Commission."
"I don't think it's possible. Even if there is a movie involving a senior student, I would believe it. But if everyone is a freshman or sophomore, it would be too funny."
"The final playback volume is open and transparent, and the ranking is No. 1, but the final playback volume is so pitiful that it's really ugly."
"One of the second prizes is called "Gardenia" and the other is called "Home and Everything Happens". The names sound better than those of the first prize."
“But no matter which step you want to take first, you must first become a member.”
Netizens who want to watch award-winning short films on video websites must first become paid members of the website.
As long as you become a paid member, you can play any award-winning work at will without spending any extra money.
...
On-campus forum of Yanjing Film Academy.
"Two movies in our school have won awards."
"Holy shit, the director of the first part is actually a sophomore in our school, and the male protagonist is actually a freshman."
"Who is Zhang Kaifeng?"
"Fan Yan seems to be a girl in the sophomore directing department."
"This is outrageous. Why can a freshman and sophomore student win the first prize?"
"Don't worry about the reason. Winning the award will bring glory to our school."
"But I'm still looking forward to the second-prize winning "Gardenia". I heard that the heroine and hero of this movie are seniors in our acting department and have already signed contracts with five major entertainment companies."
"Wow, I really want to sign with the five major companies."
...
In the school forum, except for the fact that everyone was surprised and puzzled at first when the freshman and sophomore students won first place, no one noticed the male and female leading actors anymore.
No one even discussed how they won the award, nor were they looking forward to the movie.
Because it was unbelievable for them to win an award in their freshman and sophomore years, and then they thought about it. There are so many students with backgrounds in the school, and they can make a rough guess.
But because we are all students of the same school, winning an award is a matter of bringing honor to the school, and we will not speak ill of others on the school forum.
But privately I was still unconvinced.
Ou Xiaojuan finished her work as a judge and continued working in the office as if nothing had happened. She just silently jotted down a few names and decided to start the next step.
Qian Yu knocked on the door and walked into the office.
"Sister Xiaojuan, are you looking for me?" Qian Yu asked.
Ou Xiaojuan took out a piece of paper with several names written on it in elegant handwriting and handed it to Qian Yu.
"These are..." Qian Yu took the paper in confusion and looked at the names on the paper carefully.
"These are the main creators who won the first prize." Ou Xiaojuan said flatly.
Qian Yu frowned slightly, "Those people who were brought in by the organizer?"
"The organizer stuffed it in?" Ou Xiaojuan repeated it doubtfully.
"Yes, everyone used to say that the first prize winners were a few freshmen and sophomores with no shooting experience, saying they had shady backgrounds. Now the public accounts are setting the pace like this." Qian Yu said with a smile,
"But I know that with Sister Xiaojuan here, it's impossible to let people from other companies come in. The only possibility is that the organizer, the sponsor, can't help it."
Ou Xiaojuan smiled and shook her head, "Find these children for me, and then be sure to sign them into our company. I want all the main creators."
Qian Yu's face was full of surprise.
Ou Xiaojuan looked at the time on her phone and said, "It's about to start. You can watch it from here, and then you can judge whether there is a backdoor in this micro-movie."
The video website had already bought a few hot searches on the Internet when there was only one hour left to air, and then asked entertainment gossip accounts to create various rhythms to promote the micro-movie that was about to be unlocked.
The countdown is now on the video website.
The hours and minutes are all reset to zero, and only the countdown continues.
10,9,8...3,2,1.
Unlock.
Qian Yu clicked on the first micro-movie pinned to the top.
Forty minutes later...
After experiencing a belly laugh with red eyes, Qian Yu suddenly stood up while laughing with red eyes.
Due to his sudden movement, the chair slid far back.
"What are you doing?" Ou Xiaojuan was startled by Qian Yu.
"Find someone." Qian Yu said firmly.
"You don't have to be so exaggerated when looking for someone." Ou Xiaojuan was amused by Qian Yu.
"I will go immediately to find the person on the note. If I am late for a second, I will be afraid that those companies will snatch him away."
Chapter completed!
