Every Monday, the editorial office of Qijiang Video Network holds a weekly meeting. All editors will attend the meeting to summarize the work progress of the previous week and decide on the work plan for this week.
But today is different.
Because the editor-in-chief announced a plan at the weekly meeting - the Rising Star Plan.
The main content of the plan is that Qijiang Video Network will select some potential newcomers for training based on the recommendations of editors, and give them more exposure opportunities, thereby adding more fresh blood to the website, and at the same time it is conducive to encouraging the flourishing of works.
Qianzuru, who was originally drowsy, suddenly perked up.
Qianhe is an ordinary editor at Qijiang Video Network. He has just joined the company, so most of the contracted authors are newcomers, and there are no well-known masters.
He was once deeply troubled by the fact that he had no great god under his command, but now he feels that soon a great god will rise from his hands.
Old scenery.
Although he is just a newcomer with little fame now, with time and development, he will definitely become the mainstay of Qijiang Video Network in the future.
His works take ancient earth culture as the starting point, and make various imaginative yet reasonable artistic processing under the real historical background, so that the weight of history and the emotions of the characters are perfectly combined, giving people a refreshing feeling in the increasingly impetuous present.
Even though Qianzuru has watched countless movies, she still feels amazed when she first sees works about old times.
"Editor, I recommend the old scenery."
The editor thought for a moment but had no impression of the name. "Is this the new person you just signed?"
Qian He nodded, "I signed a contract with him last week. Editor-in-chief, you were out of the country at the time and didn't pay attention to the Starbucks trending searches. His work was ranked tenth on the Starbucks trending searches at the time and was very popular."
The editor-in-chief nodded and asked all the editors present, "What do you think?"
Other editors started discussing:
“I also watched the video of the scenery, it’s really good.”
"The plot is very touching. My girlfriend cried several times when she read the story of Xu Pingjun that he updated last week."
"Nowadays, few people are willing to put in the effort to study ancient culture. It's really rare."
"Huh? How come you've all seen it? Was the scenery so famous in the old days?"
"You haven't seen it? Then I recommend you to go and see it. You won't regret it after you see it."
The editor-in-chief was a little surprised. She knew her editors best. They were very picky and would find fault with any work, no matter how good it was. It was rare to see such a unanimous recommendation.
But generally speaking, when this happens, it proves that this person's video is indeed very good.
She couldn't help but ask, "Is it really that beautiful?"
Her words immediately received countless enthusiastic responses.
"Yes, editor-in-chief, it looks great. I have flushed it three times."
"It tells the story of a small person in the context of a great era. Although it is fictional, it is really interesting to read and makes me feel sad."
"The author should have a good cultural foundation. The character dialogues, costumes, and plot design are all very sophisticated. Although it is a virtual movie, it is no worse than a real movie."
After the meeting, she specifically looked for videos of old scenery and casually clicked on the latest episode he updated last week, intending to enjoy it carefully.
The changing images on the screen cast flickering light and shadows on her face. Unconsciously, it seemed as if there were traces of water flashing in her eyes.
After the video ended, the editor remained silent for a long time, looking at the black screen.
In the eyes of most people, this is a love story. Although it ends in tragedy, evil will eventually be punished, so it can be considered a happy ending.
But in the editor's opinion, the theme of this story is not love. It should be said that love is only a part of the theme.
What this story really wants to explore is how a small person who has strayed into the torrent of the great era can maintain his or her personal independence in the stormy weather and not lose himself or herself.
Xu Pingjun was both lucky and unfortunate.
It was her luck that she became the most noble woman in the world as the daughter of a eunuch.
It was her luck that led to her misfortune.
But no matter whether she was lucky or unlucky, she always remained neither arrogant nor humble, maintained the independence and integrity of her personality, and gained the greatest degree of freedom.
Her former downtrodden husband suddenly wore the yellow robe and became the emperor, but she did not feel terrified or servile. Instead, she still regarded Liu Bingji as her beloved husband, an ordinary man.
She sincerely cared for him and loved him, not because he was the emperor, but because he was her husband.
Huo Chengjun was arrogant and domineering, and targeted her with malicious intent, but she knew when to act, was neither arrogant nor humble, and behaved in an elegant and polite manner, always maintaining her decency and dignity.
When faced with the wealth and glory that was within her reach, she was rational and sober, always maintained a simple life, and did not covet luxury. Facing the flattery of the palace people, she remained indifferent and always had a clear understanding of herself.
When she drank the bowl of poisoned wine and faced the cruel fate, she did not collapse or feel resentment. She just sighed. Her clear and wise eyes seemed to have seen through everything. She knew long ago that for a small person like her, the higher she stood, the harder she would fall.
However, when she lay on the bed and looked at the blue sky outside the window, she still felt a little regretful.
So she finally complained softly: "I haven't been out for a long time."
At the last moment of her life, she did not resent her enemy Huo Chengjun, nor did she worry about her young children and husband. She did not care whether anyone would avenge her. She just regretted that she had lived in the deep palace for a long time and had not played outside for a long time.
What is truly noble is not status, but character.
Xu Pingjun came from a humble family but had a noble character.
So even the most ruthless emperor fell in love with her.
In the turbulent tide of the times, small people are like duckweed, helpless and unable to resist the manipulation of fate.
but.
There are things that small people can do.
That is to stay true to your heart.
I am trapped in a cage, but my heart is free.
This is what Xu Pingjun did.
Only such small characters are worth interpreting.
Only such little people can move the audience.
The editor wiped the tears from his eyes, then clicked on the second episode and the first episode respectively.
Every episode brought her to tears, and every episode gave her different insights and thoughts.
The videos of old scenery are not long, with each episode only 10 minutes long, but the author uses these ten minutes to tell an extremely wonderful and philosophical story.
The story of each episode is different, but the theme is the same - trapped in a cage, but my heart is free.
They all tell the story of how little people persevere in the face of adversity.
Many great people are unable to escape from difficulties. It is precisely because of this that the perseverance of these little people in difficult situations appears great and touching.
The editor took a deep breath, tapped his fingers on the table, and chuckled, "What a freak."
This old landscape is truly a monstrosity.
If other directors were to shoot this film, any single story would take an hour or two to shoot, but the old scenery can be done in just 10 minutes, and it is shot with exciting moments, sad moments, climaxes, and troughs. Such skill is truly not to be underestimated!
To be honest, with the level of Jiushi Fengjing, it is a waste of his talent to shoot AI short videos for the Internet. His works should be moved to the big screen.
The editor thought about it and called his good friend.
"Hey, An Yun, I have a few videos here, come and take a look..."
…
When Le Jing received a call from editor Qian He, he was preparing for the production of the movie "Huo Qubing". Now there were only two weeks left before the competition deadline, and he had not slept for two nights in order to work overtime.
Qianhe told Le Jing on the phone that his video was selected into the new star plan of Qijiang Video Network, and the website will set up a special page to display his works. At the same time, the top three will be selected from 100 works through readers' voting, and the first place will receive a reward of 100,000 star coins.
Of course, it is a good thing to have more exposure opportunities. Le Jing talked about this matter on Qijiang Video Network and Xingbo, calling on fans to vote.
Then he went to sleep because he was so sleepy that he couldn't hold on any longer.
So when he was awakened from his sweet dream by the ringing of the phone, he was unusually depressed. He glanced at the screen and found it was an unfamiliar number.
Could it be a wrong number?
He was silent for a while, but finally chose to answer the call.
"Hello, are you Old Scenery?" The voice was hoarse but full of energy, and he was an elderly person.
"Yes, I am. You are?"
"You should know me. I'm An Yun."
Anyun?
This name is well-known in Shi Jing's memory.
An Yun is a famous director in China. His film "Military Soul" once won the Ark Best Film Award! The Ark Award is the highest film award of the Earth Alliance. It is awarded once a year, and the winning directors are all among the best directors in the country.
Such a big shot actually called me?
Could this be a scam call?
"I watched your Little People and was very satisfied with it. It is an excellent work. I really want to adapt the story of the first historian and put it into the movie I am making. Can you sell me the adaptation rights?"
Le Jing: ...a new method of interstellar fraud?
"I'm sorry, I have an agreement with Qijiang, so I don't have the right to make a unilateral decision on this matter. You can talk to the copyright editor directly."
"You don't know yet, do you? Your video was recommended to me by the editor-in-chief of your website. We are old friends, and she strongly lobbied me for your work, so I watched it. After watching it, I found that what she said was right. It is indeed a good work, with a complete narrative structure, a strong story, and a very tense plot. It is also a rare subject of ancient earth history. It can be seen that you have a good foundation." An Yun laughed: "So I asked your editor for your mobile number and called you directly."
"...Can I think about it?"
"Of course, just think about it and give me an answer."
"Oh, by the way, I happen to be free the day after tomorrow, how about we meet? I'm very interested in you, little guy, and I really want to have a good exchange with you."
Although he didn't know whether this An Yun was real or fake, there was nothing to lose by agreeing to it now, so Le Jing readily agreed to it.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately called his editor Chizuru to verify the matter, and received a positive answer from Chizuru.
Qianhe was still trying to persuade him: "It's a great opportunity for a director like An to adapt your work! You must seize the opportunity and cherish it!"
Le Jing certainly understood what a huge opportunity this was.
Le Jing is undoubtedly very short of money now. He needs money if he wants to make a movie.
"Little Man" doesn't have any grand scenes and doesn't require any special effects, so it can be completed with simple AI simulation. But "Huo Qubing" is different. Whether it's fighting on the battlefield or the magnificent scenery outside the Great Wall, these all require exquisite and gorgeous special effects.
The video production software installed in Shi Jing's computer requires additional payment to achieve such gorgeous and exquisite special effects, and every frame costs money.
And "Huo Qubing" is just a starting point.
Le Jing will shoot many film and television works in the future, for which he needs a lot of money and more people.
If An Yun gives enough generosity in the adaptation fee this time, he can set up his own studio and have a mature production team.
This will undoubtedly greatly reduce his burden, otherwise he will die from overwork sooner or later.
And...his name will be included in the list of creators at the end of the film.
The film industry will notice him and will shower him with offers.
His goal is that one day, aliens will also like his work and know his name.
Finally, culture invades the alien planet.
