billion box office tycoon

In the early morning, the breeze was blowing, and the white screens were gently raised and lowered. Ye Weilin sat comfortably on the sofa on the balcony, watching a foreign movie called "The Crow".

Fu Qi yawned and walked out of the room. Her long black hair was disheveled like a woman's, and a long T-shirt was dragged down to her hips, revealing two thin white legs loosely. Ye Weilin glanced at him casually, and continued See a movie.

"I've lived here for half a month, are you used to it?" Fu Qi sat down beside Ye Weilin, with his legs crossed and his back tilted on the cushion, without any image at all.

Ye Weilin couldn't bear to look directly and turned around, "Everything else is fine, but I'm not used to you."

After the results of the final homework came out, it took two days for the summer vacation. Ye Weilin, who promised the other party, of course would not miss the appointment, and moved into Fu Qi's rental house on the first day of vacation.In fact, he was frightened by Fu Qi on the first day he moved in. Fu Qi is very lazy and doesn't like to wear too many clothes at home. He always wears a blouse to cover his buttocks, and he has long hair. Thin and thin, Ye Weilin often made Ye Weilin think that a strange woman came in at first glance.

However, no matter how frightening things are, after half a month, you will get used to it, but getting used to it does not mean accepting it, especially if the other party likes to use this matter to narrow him down.

"Yo, I'm watching "The Crow"!" Fu Qi glanced at the screen and said the title of the film.

"Yeah." Ye Weilin nodded.There are many similarities and differences between this world and the world in his previous life. For example, the historical process of China is exactly the same as that of China. The four famous books and some famous documents all exist in the world, but at the same time there are also some Ye Weilin People and things I have never heard of, and the same goes for other countries.

This has also indirectly affected the field of film. He has never seen many films in this world, but the films he has seen have changed actors and production crews in this world, with the same plot development, the same lines and scripts, and even the same scene special effects... ...But unfortunately, none of the actors and directors are familiar with each other.

This sense of confusion has always troubled him, making him have to watch all the familiar movies again, and at the same time go to the system to digest them again, otherwise he would not be able to get a seat.

"Half of the summer vacation is over, are you going to squat here to watch movies every day?" Fu Qi raised his eyebrows.

Ye Weilin looked at him with disgust: "Of course not, do you think I'm as lazy as you? I'm going to sign up for a microfilm contest jointly organized by several major websites and sponsors."

"What? You want to make a micro-movie? I have to tell you in advance, there are a lot of tricks in it, and maybe it has been pre-ordered long ago." Fu Qi sneered, very dismissive.

"The rules are written to be selected by online voting first, and then invite well-known industry insiders to select. The last few films selected will still be decided by online voting."

"So what about online voting? Isn't it rare to use the means of swiping votes? It's as big as asking some people in the industry to vote!"

Ye Weilin couldn't help but feel amused when he saw his disdainful look of everyone being drunk and only sober: "Then let me ask you, do you want to become a famous director or a top photographer in the future?"

"of course."

"If you don't participate in any competitions, but if you take pictures and enjoy yourself alone, who will know your name?"

Seeing that Fu Qi was about to retort, Ye Weilin immediately continued: "Don't tell me, you are still dreaming of becoming famous overnight. When your resume is blank, no one will pay you to make a movie, let alone just watch the works. Just to change your opinion, they need the market response of your works, and the affirmation that your works are endowed with artistic talent."

"Then you won't get any ranking if you take your work to the competition, so you are not afraid of discrediting your resume?" Fu Qi asked.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, as long as there is heat on the Internet."

"Fuck, your face is a little big, why are your works so popular?!"

"Depending on strength." Ye Weilin replied solemnly.

"I'll go to your uncle!" Fu Qi was so angry that he couldn't speak, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "Then what are you going to shoot?"

"Probably suspense horror?" Ye Weilin touched his chin and replied with some uncertainty. He had an idea, similar to the Japanese-style light fantasy script of "Wonderful Stories of the World". What made him hesitate was that this This style is not what he is good at, but based on practice, you can try it.

"Then you have to hurry up and start filming. Generally, the submission time for microfilm competitions is not long."

"I remember that the deadline was around October, and now it's almost August. The online voting channel will be opened in September. The time is not too tight, but the school will start in September. If you are alone, the time is still a bit rushed."

After Ye Weilin finished speaking, he smiled to see that Fu Qi was silent.

"Okay, don't read it, are you interested?" Fu Qi said angrily: "Forget that I'm afraid of you, and add my share."

Ye Weilin then turned his head and continued to watch his movie quietly.

The "Youth·Time" micro-film competition has been held twice. Its main founding company is Aiku, the largest video portal website in China, and its largest investor is Fengteng Films. The judges invited for the two sessions are all famous people in related industries , generally composed of film directors, well-known actors, producers and digital Internet celebrity film critics. There are three rankings and four awards, and the rankings and awards cannot be selected repeatedly.

The four awards are: Best Drama Film, Best Style Film, Best Actor Film, and Best Innovative Film.

The themes of the last two editions were "Journey of Love" and "Time·Inheritance", and this year's theme is "Dream and Youth".

After several days of repeated thinking and exchanges, the two finally decided to shoot a light fantasy + suspense movie. Different from traditional fantasy movies, they decided to make a postmodern movie between reality and absurdity. In line with the theme of "Dream Youth", the two initially positioned the film style as a youth campus, and the heroine is also a high school student.

The content of the script conceived by the two is to tell the fantasy world of an adolescent girl. Xiao Zhuang, a senior high school girl, is a very ordinary girl regardless of her appearance and family background. She is very addicted to the illusory world of the Internet and novels. multiply.One morning, just as she was eating breakfast, she picked up her mobile phone to browse the web, and when she saw the news of her idol’s concert popping up with a smile on her face, she was severely scolded by her father, and Xiao Zhuang ran out of the house arguing with her father Unfortunately, she was knocked down by a car, and the person who knocked her down was the idol she never forgot. On the way to accompany Xiaozhuang to the hospital, the idol was attracted by Xiaozhuang's simplicity, and the two exchanged contact information. As if in a dream, she couldn't help but what happened next was far beyond her imagination...

"In this case, the role of the heroine will be very important. If the newcomer you find is not good at acting, the whole film will lose its color a lot." Fu Qi said solemnly.

Ye Weilin and Fu Qi had the same views, and they immediately became worried about the candidate for the female lead.

"Didn't you take an acting class last semester? Is there a suitable one?" Fu Qi thought for a long time before throwing the question back to Ye Weilin.

"Let me make a call and ask." Ye Weilin picked up his phone and flipped through the address book, dialing numbers one by one, and the replies he got were all rejected without exception. He also understood that almost all the participants in the micro film competition were some College students or young literary and artistic youths who have just graduated, what they lack the most are funds and fame, otherwise they would not win attention and future through competitions. Therefore, most of the micro-film actors are relatives and friends of the director. Friends, or brothers and sisters from the same school, and those who invest more are to find [-]-line models and good-looking art school students through the network.

A mere micro-movie is really a bit of a drop in price for the students of Huaxia Drama Academy. As far as he knows, at least half of the people in the whole class have experience in filming commercials, magazines and even TV dramas.

The two of them tried for a long time to no avail, so they simply recruited online, and recruited other supporting roles by the way.

"The heroine's classmates and teachers don't have many roles. You can find some people who often play tricks to play, but for the role of heroine idol, it's best to find someone with certain acting experience." After Fu Qi posted information on the Internet, he always felt something. Missing.

"I have a reservation for the role of that idol." Ye Weilin smiled and dialed Ma Wencai's cell phone.

"What? Why didn't you say it earlier! I've already promised others..." Ma Wencai on the other end of the phone said in a very apologetic tone. It's already been filmed.

Ye Weilin was surprised, but he immediately called Liu Jia's number.

"...I just got my passport. I will travel to Malaysia and Thailand for ten days and travel to Europe for ten days. I think I will be abroad this month." Liu Jia's tone was also apologetic. Ye Weilin sighed and finally called Xie Donglin's number.

"No time." The other party refused cleanly.

After being rejected several times, Ye Weilin calmed down a lot. He patiently rummaged through the phone's address book. Familiar or unfamiliar names gradually slipped down with his fingertips, until a somewhat unfamiliar name inadvertently jumped into the phone book. his eyelids.

"Xue Wen..." Ye Weilin read the name lightly, and the face of the girl who had only met once appeared in his mind.

That was the first girl who asked for her contact information after he was reborn, and he was very impressed with her.

Xue Wen is not very old, with a soft oval face, big and bright eyes, she looks feminine and full of vigor, playing the role of a high school student has no sense of disobedience, her facial features are not particularly delicate, but she has a strong sense of humor. Attractive temperament.

But here comes the question, how can a micro-film that even newcomers despise can invite Xue Wen who has already debuted?What's more, the other party is still on Hong Kong Island at this time.

Ye Weilin considered for a long time, but finally decided to give up.

Let's put the choice of the heroine on hold first, and let's talk about the other role candidates first.

"The candidate for the idol has failed, do you know anyone there?" Ye Weilin turned to look at Fu Qi.

Fu Qi was lowering his head and fiddling with his photographic equipment to shoot a micro movie. The equipment was enough, and he didn't raise his head when he heard that: "If you call and ask my grandpa, there should be some."

Ye Weilin has long known that Fu Qi's grandfather is the famous director Fu Jinliang, who is full of peaches and plums. If Mr. Fu helps out, it is possible to invite big names, but doing so also loses the meaning of making micro movies. Both Fu Qi and Fu Qi tacitly understood this.

Apart from Laowai Fu, Fu Qi doesn't have many contacts, which is not unrelated to his withdrawn and gloomy personality.

"Then we can only hope for online recruitment. I hope there will be surprises then." Ye Weilin couldn't help but sigh.

"..." The two looked at each other, feeling a little helpless to each other, and now they had to do this temporarily. If they shelved or gave up just because of this difficulty, they would never be able to make a movie.
