Chapter 51 Microfilm Competition Here I Come!
Fans hope every day that Bi Yao can regain her soul and be resurrected.
Check in at a fixed time every day on book reviews or blogs.
"Daily Question: Did Biyao come back to life today?"
“No…”
Pitao couldn't help but sigh when she saw the comments.
"Alas, infatuated love is always disturbed by heartlessness, and most unfaithful people are writers."
In the second semester of his sophomore year, the teacher of Lin Mo's directing class happened to be Professor Li Ruhua, who had interviewed him before.
Professor Li has always been known as a strict teacher. He requires students to punch in and take attendance during class. Students who are late or leave early will definitely fail the course.
In addition to strict discipline, he also has a very good way of teaching.
For the profession of director and screenwriter, it is just talk if it remains in theory, it must be put into practice.
So this semester, he arranged for students to actively participate in various crews and troupes, or to try their hand at making their own micro-films and short plays.
"Dear students from the Directing Department, this year's College Student Microfilm Competition will begin in June."
In recent years, with the popularity of mobile phones and the rise of the Internet, the cost of shooting short dramas has become lower and lower. All you need is a mobile phone and a good idea to start creating.
This is also what many film and television people would like to see.
With a hundred flowers blooming and a thousand schools of thought contending, many good works have emerged.
This is why there is an annual college student micro-film competition.
The participants of the competition are mainly college students and graduate students, who are required to create any film or television work of less than half an hour, with no restrictions on form or theme.
Upload your works on the first day of the competition, and the top ten will be decided through a month of online voting.
Of course, there are bonuses for the top ten, and the first place gets 1 million.
But many winners are not just for the money, but more for the fame.
In this day and age, there are not many opportunities to be noticed simply based on talent.
Generally, only seniors who are in their third year or above will participate.
But with Professor Li, he would require students to join the crew earlier, get hands-on experience, and truly understand the work of a director.
"Although we've only been enrolled for a short time, as I said, directing and editing must be hands-on. Even if we don't have a professional crew or equipment right now, the core remains the same: telling stories and conveying emotions through the lens. So, we strongly encourage everyone to participate. The top ten will receive extra credits. There's also a chance you'll be recommended to a CCTV crew."
The students below began to whisper, feeling that they didn’t know anything yet and were about to participate in the competition.
For this kind of micro-film, a script, director, actors and equipment are all essential.
In previous years, many of the top ten were seniors with resources who worked together as a team.
It's too difficult.
Lin Mo heard the last sentence, "The CCTV crew!!!"
The opportunity has come!
"囍" is still there!
I have no shortage of money, songs, people, or good scripts!
I am the chosen one!
After class, Lin Mo pulled Zhang Wen aside and started thinking about it.
“How about making a micro-movie?”
"We thought of the same thing."
After looking at each other, they understood.
"I filmed one before during a professional interview. I can show it to you."
"Should we make another one?"
"Yes, if there are opportunities and conditions, please participate more."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"Give me a few days, I'll get the script out, and then you can get the team together."
"Okay."
Ever since I started filming the web drama with Lin Mo.
Zhang Wen discovered that this low-key classmate was a treasure trove.
If you want creativity, you have creativity; if you want script, you have script; if you want song, you have song...
The hardest thing about being a director is having no money.
In this regard, Zhang Wen doesn't have to worry, as he has the technology, channels and money.
Other than that, it's a good script.
Lin Mo really ate grass and spit out milk.
There are so many good scripts.
I really love classmates like this.
"Tong'er, I want a short film script. Can you recommend one to me?"
How about this? The Pianist
"Suspense? That's fine."
How about this? 'Veteran'
"Remembering the martyrs is such a huge topic, I'm afraid I can't grasp it."
Let's talk about "Old Boy." If we want to win, we need an advantage. Our advantage is the song, so naturally the traffic will go up a level.
“Wouldn’t that be a bit unfair?”
[What's the point of not being aggressive? Others still hire celebrities, spend money, or hire online influencers. Same thing.]
"You know movies, okay, this is it!"
"Can you give me a song?"
[Customization successful! Reputation value -220!]
“Okay!”
The script is done.
Lin Mo thought about it and realized that the core of the script was that song.
Got to get the song out first.
We need to find someone to help sing, and we need two middle-aged male protagonists.
We need Xingyao’s help.
Thinking about this matter, I'm afraid I'll have to go directly to Li Rongjia.
Li Rongjia was stunned when she saw the caller ID.
Because when Lin Mo has something to do, it is usually Lin Yu who directly contacts him.
There must be something wrong when you call me.
"Hello, Mr. Li, I have something I would like to ask you for help.
"Teacher Lin, don't be so polite. Just go ahead and say it."
"Here's the thing. I have a short film with a song in it, and I need to find two middle-aged male singers to play the leading roles in the short film. I'd like to ask if anyone from Xingyao is willing to come? I'll pay for it."
When Li Rongjia heard there was a song, she immediately became happy.
"Yes, yes, of course. What's the price? What kind do you need?"
"I'll send you the script and music score. Could you please help me find it?"
"Of course, we have many excellent singers and actors here, I will definitely find the right one for you."
Even if it is not suitable, you have to dig out two suitable pasts.
Being able to sing Iron Man’s song is something you only encounter once in a while.
There are a lot of people rushing to get it for free.
Li Rongjia got the script. The micro-film involves performance and singing, so she needs to pick someone to try it out.
Thinking about it, I found Zhang Jun, the director of the composition department, and Yang Guang, the director of the film and television department.
Let’s discuss this together.
"As expected of Mr. Iron Man, both the song and the short film are great!"
Yang Guang also sighed after reading it.
"There should be a lot of people willing to come. How about we hold an internal election?"
"Okay, but we also have to consider age. This young man is not suitable."
"right."
The notice was sent out that afternoon.
There was a crowd of people at the door of the recording studio on the 17th floor.
First, second and third-tier stars as well as trainees have all come here.
"Hey, hey, hey, I know everyone likes Mr. Iron Man, but there are requirements for this election. Those under 30 can leave!"
A bunch of young people sighed and said, "Can't we try it first?"
"There's also a performance part this time, so the age can't be too young."
Several people left reluctantly.
Even Zhou Heng came.
"My, my, I just turned 30!"
"Heng, your face is too tender, go back!"
Zhou Heng hesitated for a long time and left unwillingly.
The remaining 7 or 8 are middle-aged male singers from Starry Sky, singing popular, pop and rock songs.
Among them is the singing king Zhang Yize of Xingyao.
"Brother Ze, this is the micro-movie, do you want to come?"
"Hey, what kind of work is this? I also want to compete fairly for Mr. Iron Man's work."
Now that things have come to this, what can I do?
What else can I say when the king of singers condescends to participate in a micro-film?
Zhang Yize, 46 years old, has been active in the music scene for thirty years.
He has a long list of famous works, which are among the best in the film industry.
The voice is magnetic and has a sense of vicissitudes, and it tells a story.
It's quite suitable for this song to be honest.
The reason why the king of singers becomes the king of singers is not just because he sings well.
His vision is also unmatched, and he is very keen in accurately identifying high-quality resources.
Ever since Iron Man signed with Star Glory, Zhang Yize has been keeping an eye on him.
But this person is too mysterious and never comes to the company.
Many times the songs come with the singer already in them.
He couldn't intervene even if he wanted to.
Isn't this a coincidence? The opportunity knocked on my door.
"Brother Ze, of course I'm happy you're here, but this short film has two male leads, and you're too famous, I'm afraid the other one won't be able to hold your own."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yize took the script and read it for a while.
"That's easy. I'll find Allen Chu. He's a good actor."
When Zhang Jun heard Allen Chu, he thought, of course he has good acting skills, he’s an Oscar winner!
Lin Mo didn't know yet that Xingyao had found him a singing king and an actor.
Acting in a freshman's competition work!!!
