Confession of Rebirth

"There is another question, that is, after we finish shooting the micro-movie, where can we find theaters to release it?"

This is what everyone is most concerned about.After all, a movie is meaningless if it cannot be released after filming and no one will watch it.

"I know that the two film academies in city A have screening halls. Should we contact them for the finals and rent their screening halls?"

"If we do this, will the entries from the two film academies have the advantage of being at home? The students in their schools already have a fan base. If we want to play like this, ordinary schools like us must suffer!"

After listening to everyone's concerns, Gu Chenjing explained with a smile: "That's what I thought about. There are only 10 minutes of micro movies. Although they are called movies, they should be more accurately called long videos. Then there is no need at all. If you have to enter the screening room, we can broadcast it directly on the video website. This way, the audience is the vast number of netizens. It will be spread more widely, and then let netizens vote to select the first round of shortlisted works."

"Upload to the Internet?" A group of people looked at each other in dismay.

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded: "Our original intention of holding this essay competition is to preserve the historical sites in the old city. So of course, the more people participate, the louder the voice, the better. Now that the Internet is so developed, if we can An online buzz has an advantage over a limited release in theaters."

"But if the movie is not played in the auditorium or on the big screen, then it is meaningless?" Someone couldn't help retorting: "If it can't be shown in a movie theater, can it still be called a movie?"

"So it's a micro movie." Gu Chen could understand some people's obsession with the screening hall, and said patiently: "In this way, we can also wait until after the finals to show some excellent works in the screening hall. encourage."

"But—" The brother who had won the best documentary at the college student film festival hesitated for a while, and finally said nothing.It's just that the loss can be seen in the expression.

"Don't be like this, everyone is doing their part to promote the old city in the west." Gao Haiyang put his arm around the senior's shoulders and poured him another glass of wine: "Think about it, we will hold this competition this time, If the momentum becomes big, it will definitely attract the attention of many people. Wouldn’t it be great to let more netizens appreciate your work! After all, the meaning of the existence of the work is not only to express thoughts, but also to spread it!”

"That's right!" Others also persuaded: "And Gu Chen didn't say that he will find a way to put excellent works on the big screen in the end."

Gu Chen was also a little surprised.Before implementing the plan, Gu Chen expected that he might encounter many difficulties and disagreements.But he didn't expect that the first disagreement would be which platform the micro-film should be played on.Looking at the senior with a disappointed expression, he didn't continue to persuade him, but let the senior digest his emotions silently.

In addition, Gu Chen poured himself another glass of wine, toasting everyone.Please seniors and sisters call on students to participate more in the essay call when they go back. It is best to write more articles, or upload more old photos for the competition.

"I will open a topic on Weibo. If after the topic is opened, there will be a large number of people posting with the topic in a short period of time, it may be automatically picked up by Weibo and pushed to the hot recommendation." Gu Chen briefly introduced Let’s take a look at the mechanism of Weibo hotspot recommendation: “At that time, we can like, comment and repost our favorite posts, so that the posts we like will stay in the popular position and will be seen by more people.”

"This is a way to make netizens feel more involved." Jiang Weiwei's eyes lit up, keenly aware of the magnitude of public opinion that this approach can cause.Jiang Weiwei was thoughtful, and felt that their publishing house could learn from this approach when promoting their new books.

Gu Chen nodded, as if he recognized Jiang Weiwei's words.He continued: "I will officially launch the essay competition the day after tomorrow. I hope all the seniors and sisters can help. If you don't have any essays to submit, you can upload some old photos."

Gu Chen's idea was to let the students post more posts to brighten up the atmosphere.In this way, netizens who hang out on the Internet will be interested in participating when they see the topic.After all, the nature of human beings who like to join in the fun will not change.

"That's no problem. If there are no photos, everyone can take them now." Zhao Shu laughed and said, "I'll go back to my grandma's house tonight. Find all the old photos of the neighbors nearby. Wait for your Weibo topic As soon as it is opened, I will immediately post all those photos on the Internet. I will definitely support this place for you."

Gu Chen smiled and gave Zhao Shu a thumbs up.

This meal lasted until after ten o'clock in the evening, and everyone left happily.Gu Chen also explained clearly what should be said and what should be asked.Early the next morning, Gu Chen went to contact the organizers and sponsors again.

"The organizer?" Professor Xing looked at Gu Chen with some surprise: "What kind of organizer and sponsor are you looking for?"

"It would be best if an organization or department in the field of cultural relics restoration could be the sponsor, so that we would be more famous when promoting and maintaining those cultural relics in the old city in the west. I will figure out the sponsor's problem myself." Gu Chen Doing things is always what I can do, and I never want to bother others.He sold houses in the sales office before and met many big customers.Some of these clients are in business and some are in public relations.Gu Chen felt that he could completely solve the sponsorship issue by himself.

Professor Xing looked at Gu Chen in surprise.I didn't expect that I, a freshman student, not only has a good talent for learning, but also can be so mature and capable in doing practical things.It really saved him a lot of worry: "I will leave it to me to contact the organizer. I will make a phone call and ask the Bureau of Cultural Relics to come forward and issue a certification document. I will assign this essay solicitation to their unit."

Then asked Gu Chen: "Are you sure that one person can solve the matter of sponsorship?"

Gu Chen nodded: "I'm sure. I should be able to finalize the sponsor today. At that time, I will write down the prize and bonus collection system for you to review."

With Gu Chen's attitude so certain, Professor Xing didn't say any more.He just smiled and said, "The young man is quite capable of execution. That's what young people should do. They have to be fast when doing things."

Although Gu Chen was thoughtful before, he always exuded a lifeless numbness and indifference.It seems that there is no hope for this world.Professor Xing saw it and was always very worried.He even wanted to ask his friend to help Gu Chen find out if he had any psychological problems.Fortunately, Gu Chen transformed himself.

Professor Xing felt that, as expected, young people should still have their own careers.

Of course, Gu Chen didn't know how emotional Professor Xing was.He came out of Professor Xing's office and immediately sent a circle of friends.Concisely and concisely explain clearly the needs of sponsors who are currently seeking sponsors.

This was the first time Gu Chen posted on Moments after registering on WeChat, and it immediately attracted the attention of friends in the circle.In less than ten seconds, Gu Chen's cell phone buzzed non-stop, as if it was boiling.Some asked under the circle of friends, some bubbled up in the group, some sent private messages to Gu Chen, and some people called directly.

"How much do you need, I'll call you."

Gu Chen was shocked when he heard Zhong Lisui's overbearing CEO's words.

"No! No!" Gu Chen quickly explained: "It's just a sponsorship for an essay solicitation event. I don't dare to use your big Buddha yet."

"It's the essay solicitation for the maintenance of cultural relics in the old western city." Zhong Lisui said with a smile on the phone, "It's good to support the cause of cultural protection in our country."

Gu Chen was about to refuse.Zhong Lisui added: "Have you ever thought that if you can get Tiansui Capital as a sponsor for this essay competition, will it send a signal to the outside world that Tiansui Capital intends to participate in the project of developing the old western city?" Among them? I think this is also beneficial to your project."

Gu Chen fell silent for a moment.He could understand what Zhong Lisui meant.Zhong Lisui wanted him to use the momentum of Tiansui Capital to send a signal to the outside world that the western faction could attract investors.Regardless of whether Tiansui Capital will eventually participate in the investment and development of the old western urban area, at least at this stage, the addition of Tiansui Capital can add a weight to the balance of the Urban Construction Bureau.

"However, we don't know whether the project of developing the old western city will be profitable or not—"

"Any project has a risk of loss. That's why investment institutions set up a special think tank to conduct due diligence and profitability analysis on each project. Investment has risks, and mature investors know this. Don't worry, I It must be talking about business. I won’t do anything that is not beneficial.” Zhong Li said with a smile: “Also, being able to make some contributions to the promotion of the protection of historical relics is a social responsibility that every company needs to have. .”

"Okay then." Gu Chen said: "Our essay competition involves two parts: graphic competition and microfilm competition. The former is about text content and uploading old photos. The reward for this part is 10 yuan in total. The first prize is one 2 yuan per person, 5000 yuan per person for five second prizes, and 1000 yuan per person for ten third prizes. There are still [-] participation awards left. Distributed to the winning netizens. This can not only take care of the participation of netizens, but also take into account the brand promotion of sponsors.”

"As for the microfilm competition, we only choose No.1. Invest in the other party to shoot a microfilm." Gu Chen paused for a while.In fact, this idea came up on a whim last night after hearing the complaint from the senior.

Gu Chen can understand many filmmakers' obsession with making movies.I also know that there are many talented young directors who cannot realize their dreams because they cannot get investment.So he is going to play big this time.Use this No.1 to create a gimmick for the rewards for investing in filming, attracting more and more professional young directors to participate in this micro film competition.

Because Gu Chen understands very well that there is really no way for ordinary people to compare the works produced by professional and talented directors.

"If you want to shoot a movie, the investment budget is at least 500 million to tens of millions. Isn't your investment a bit big?" Zhong Lisui frowned slightly, feeling that Gu Chenhua's reward in the microfilm competition was too great, and I'm afraid it would be difficult Unflattering.

You know, making a movie is not an easy thing.There are too many places to coordinate and plan.Moreover, whether the audience will approve or buy into the content of the film is unpredictable.

The risk was too great, so even though the projects invested by Tiansui Capital were blooming in all walks of life, Zhong Lisui never thought of investing in making movies.

"I will control the cost." Gu Chen said: "Besides, when we invest in No.1 to shoot a movie, it doesn't mean that the other party can shoot whatever they want. Regarding the script and content, we will make a proposition composition. It is for the old city in the west. Shoot a promotional film for those places of interest. At that time, we will try our best to contact the Bureau of Culture and Tourism and the Bureau of Cultural Relics to control the general direction. The shooting time is about five to 10 minutes. Contact the major theaters so that this promotional film can enter the screening hall , and become a broadcast advertisement before the movie starts.”

Zhong Lisui: "..."

"You really think so," Zhong Li hesitated to speak, feeling a little amused in his heart.I didn't expect Gu Chen to be so opportunistic.

"What a great idea. We can maximize the publicity of the cultural relics in the old western city, and let the director's works enter the screening hall for more audiences to see. Everyone's needs and wishes have been met." Gu Chen boasted Dao: "The most important thing is not to spend too much on filming costs."

"You are right." Zhong Li suppressed a smile: "You are too smart."

"I'll sponsor 100 million in the name of Tiansui Capital." Zhong Lisui estimated and said.

"50!" Gu Chen directly cut it in half: "You have to give others a chance. My phone is going to be fried."

After a pause, Gu Chen added: "But don't worry, the 50 will not be wasted. Within half a month, I will let the name of Tiansui Capital spread all over the Internet."

Speaking of this, Gu Chen was full of confidence.

"Okay." Zhong Li smiled and said, "I'll transfer the money directly to your account later on."

Gu Chen said: "I will issue a contract as soon as possible, and ask your company to sign and seal it."

Zhong Lisui always admired Gu Chen's business-like attitude, and said with a smile, "Then I'll wait for you at the company. You'd better come over in time for lunch, and we'll go have dinner together after signing the contract."

Gu Chen smiled and said, "It's a deal."

hang up the phone.Gu Chen glanced at his phone, there were more than 100 unread messages on WeChat, and more than a dozen missed calls.Gu Chen clicked on the unread messages and read them, and was about to reply one by one.The phone rang again.

This time, it was Mr. Sun who called.

"Hey, let me say Xiao Gu. I just saw the Moments you posted. Are you short of sponsorship for the essay competition? Just tell your grandson how much money you need." On the phone, Mr. Sun also patted his chest Da Lan: "Your grandson is the most money-hungry."

Because of the incident with Mr. Yu before.Mr. Sun always felt that he owed Gu Chen.Afterwards, Gu Chen seldom praised Gu Chen's ability to trade in stocks in the WeChat group.Even the clients who introduced Gu Chen to buy a house had asked in advance if the other party really wanted to buy a house.He got four deals for Gu Chen within one month, more positive than Gu Chen himself.

Gu Chen's kindness is hard to get rid of. When Mr. Sun invested in film and television dramas, according to the memory of his previous life, he instructed Mr. Sun to invest in a popular urban life drama in his impression.

Now that TV series is on the air, Mr. Sun has made a lot of money with it.His attitude towards Gu Chen became even more enthusiastic.
