billion box office tycoon

"Brother, do you know a place called Station K?" Yin Lan said and clicked on the page of Station K.

Station K is a community website that is most popular among Chinese young people in recent years. It started from barrage videos. It mainly released new animations and live games. It gathered many people who are interested in Two-dimensional. Later, it gradually As it develops and grows, it is divided into multiple community modules. In the entertainment area, apart from some self-entertaining works by netizens, the most popular ones are fan movies.

Some high-quality fanfic clips can even cause a widespread Internet craze. For example, a domestic animation film that was very popular some time ago was still in a state of no one interested in it a few days before it was released. The first super-burning BGM instantly ignited the popularity of this animation, and it was on the hot search for several days. Compared with spending money to buy hot search to increase the exposure rate, this kind of obviously has a more popular foundation, and it also makes the movie create A miracle at the box office of domestic animation.

Although Ye Weilin was not familiar with Station K, he had heard about it. Hearing what Yin Lan said, he probably understood what he meant.

"But the elements of "The Phantom of Hometown" are too realistic, and it has nothing to do with Two-dimensional. I'm afraid it won't cause a big response at Station K." Ye Weilin thought for a while, but didn't hold much hope in his heart.

"How do you know it won't work if you don't try?" Yin Lan asked rhetorically. Because of his rough family background and no father or mother, his campus life was not satisfactory since he was a child, but this does not mean that he does not pay attention to the lifestyle and entertainment of his peers. , but due to limited conditions, I haven't had much contact with it.Until he was adopted by Ye Weilin and transferred to another school to start a new life, in order to get closer to his future goal, he asked himself to know everything.

If others will, he will, and if others will not, he will too.

"I remember Brother Fu seemed to mention that he has an account at Station K." Yin Lan laughed again as she spoke. The sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy has gradually lost his childishness, and the cheeks that were a little bulging a few months ago are now gone. After being thinned, the facial features appear more profound and beautiful, and more attractive to the eyes.

This smile made Ye Weilin think of Yin Lan on the isolated island inappropriately. The latter has a dark personality, but his charm is beyond doubt.

"Brother?" Yin Lan was puzzled by Ye Weilin's brief absence, and called him softly.

Ye Weilin came back to his senses, and turned his eyes away a little uncomfortably: "Then try it, anyway, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

"What? Put the trailer on Station K?" After hearing Ye Weilin's words, Fu Qi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, slapped his forehead, and murmured: "That's right! Why didn't I think of that?" ?”

It turns out that Fu Qi is not only as simple as having an account at Station K, he is also a well-known movie editing master in the station.He didn't make clips with the idea of ​​becoming famous or other ideas, but purely for practice editing a few works. Although the number of works is not large, the quality is very high, plus his mysterious style that never ends. , has long been made a god.

Fu Qi doesn't go to K station often, but he also knows some basic elements of becoming popular on K station, such as stir-fried CP Lalang match, flourishing beauty licking the screen, selling feelings, etc. His works published on K station are of similar level, although A lot of people watch them, but one of them is particularly popular. The reason is that in the fake film that he randomly edited, a good-looking male star appeared. Many scenes in the film have captured the actor's appearance in his heyday The angle of the picture, overwhelming the countless popular little fresh meat in the film, the actor was almost dead, but because of the video he edited, he became popular again.

He re-watched the trailer of "The Phantom of Hometown", and suddenly felt that it needed to be edited again for posting on Station K.

Ye Weilin also agrees that this is not because the trailer of "The Phantom of Hometown" is poorly edited, but that the screen focuses too much on horror and suspense elements. Of course, there are also some young people who like horror-oriented videos at station K, but if it is to become popular, this is still a must. not enough.

"The selling point of horror is not enough..." Ye Weilin pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out, but saw that Fu Qi had opened the editing software in a calm manner and was importing the finished film of "Hometown Phantom" into it.

"Why did you start cutting before you thought it through?" Ye Weilin asked in surprise.

"You're the only one blind! Didn't you see Yin Lan's face?" After Fu Qi imported the film, he began to manipulate it skillfully.

"What happened to his face?" Ye Weilin still couldn't figure it out.

"Looks good." After Fu Qiyi answered concisely, he directed unceremoniously: "Don't just sit around and do nothing. I remember when I first met you, you still criticized my editing skills. Now you come here ah!"

Ye Weilin couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard him mention the old things: "Don't keep mentioning this... By the way, I still don't quite understand. You mean to highlight the advantage of Yin Lan's face? Are you cutting all his close-up shots?"

Fu Qi shook his head and said: "It's not a close-up shot, it's just...you saw some particularly charming angles of Yin Lan, or you think he is very sexy at this moment..."

Seeing that Ye Weilin became more and more confused as he listened, Fu Qi sighed, stopped his explanation, and simply and rudely found a few screen-licking videos with more than [-] million hits on Station K, and let him experience it for himself.

After Ye Weilin finished watching those few videos, his mood was hard to describe in words. He looked at Fu Qi hesitant to speak, and hesitated for a long time before saying: "This is not very good, assuming this video is really popular, they are aiming at it. If you look at it, you may be disappointed.”

"Will it?" Fu Qi smiled with a deep meaning. He clicked on "The Phantom of Hometown", and the protagonist Yin Lan's role almost occupied the entire length of the movie. There was almost every frame of him, even though the background and tone were very different. It's eerie, but it doesn't detract from Yin Lan's superb performance at all.

"Like someone, it starts with the face, but it doesn't end with the face." Fu Qi said sharply: "Besides, I have more confidence in this movie than in that kid's face."

"It's just a way to attract people to watch. Really good works will not lose viewers."

Ye Weilin also smiled: "I understand the truth, stop talking nonsense, let's start."

Once he has mastered the essence, Ye Weilin's editing speed is not much slower than that of Fu Qi, but both of them have a bit of perfectionist obsessive-compulsive disorder, and the release time is imminent, and the film has just been cut.

Fu Qi first boarded the account that had not been logged in for a long time at station K, and released the original movie trailer. As expected, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

In the comment area and barrage of the video, people leave messages and ask, which movie clip is this edited? Why does it feel like a real trailer instead of a fake clip?

Of course, more people left messages asking who is the boy who appeared the most in the clip.

Due to the original trailer, in order to highlight the advantages of the movie and show the ultimate sense of horror, most of them used some horror props and backgrounds, and the characters are rare. Even Yin Lan, who is the protagonist, only has a few short shots , are mainly based on the back view, the side face, and the face hidden in the darkness. There is only one frontal close-up shot, but it is only a short second.

But for Yan Gou at Station K, this short second is enough.

So early the next morning, the two were delighted to find that the video was full of bullet screens and comments asking about the source of the clip and Yin Lan's personal information. It was already on the hit list in the entertainment area of ​​the homepage within 24 hours of its release.

Fu Qi originally wanted to whet people's appetites, so he released this new film tailor-made for Yan Gou, but unfortunately, the release date is next week, and the release is already late, let alone postponed.

Before releasing the new trailer, he explained in the video introduction that he is an independent filmmaker. The trailer clips for the previous and this one are all from the movie itself, rather than editing other video clips as usual. Pseudo film flower, I hope everyone will support it.

After the introduction of the video, Fu Qi posted the results of the past two days on the Internet. With his vision and experience, this film will definitely be popular.

In order to be sure, he even took the initiative to contact a few k-station masters who are also famous for editing fake videos, hoping that they can help promote the promotion.

Fu Qi's production level has always been recognized as the highest in the station. Naturally, there are many people who want to hook up, including some influential UP hosts. However, he himself is always missing on the K station, and his personality is also cold. As time goes by Became alone.However, the initiative this time made many UP owners feel flattered, and almost all agreed to help.

"I can't see that you are so popular." Ye Weilin couldn't help complaining.

Fu Qi was also a little unexpected, and thought to himself that it is worthy of the K station, which is famous for its two-dimensional, and it is quite humane.

Fan Xiaoyue tiredly climbed up the stairs on the eighth floor, and just as she opened the door, she was greeted with familiar nagging.

"I told you to come back earlier. You don't have to rush to find a job for a while. It's a lifetime thing to damage your body." Fan Ma sighed, looking at her daughter's tired eyes that couldn't be concealed by wearing glasses, and forcibly held back more complaints. Pretending to be casual and asking: "You said that the big company People Pictures is a liar? It asked you to go over and over again, but didn't give a definite answer."

"Mom! Don't talk about it, Wanzhong gave me an answer today. It's useless." Fan Xiaoyue felt uncomfortable. She graduated in a few months and didn't even find an intern. Originally, Wanzhong Films was the most promising , In order to retest, she pushed several other companies, but the result still failed.

Facing the table full of food, she didn't have much appetite, so she closed the door after taking a few bites, and turned on the computer as usual to log in to the website she is most familiar with - Station K.

The reality is unsatisfactory, and there is always room to escape. Station K is Fan Xiaoyue's favorite website. Whether it's the new episodes in the animation section, or the live broadcasts in the game section, or all kinds of fan movies in the entertainment section, she can watch them all. Old for a long time.

Although Fan Xiaoyue has covered a wide range of topics, there are not many UP hosts she really likes and collects. One of them is the famous master of fake film making at K Station, named Shao Fu. Fans affectionately call her a young woman, and she is her favorite UP host. none of them.

The young woman has not been updated for more than half a year. Every time she logs in to K station and opens the collection page, she just glances at this ID in a hurry, and then continues to do what she should do. Who knows that when she logs in today, she finds that the young woman has been updated!There are two more videos in a row!

Fan Xiaoyue clicked on one of the videos excitedly, she didn't want to watch it immediately, but glanced at the comment section first.

"High energy all the way!"

"Are you serious about saying it's not scary at all?!"

"Actually...I feel...children who grew up in the countryside will be scared to cry...you urbanites don't think it's scary...but I've been silently suppressing the urge to urinate under the covers..."

"1 minute and 38 seconds frontal screenshot!"

"Who is that boy at 1 minute and 38 seconds! My socks are soaked..."

"Hey, the upstairs is so dirty, you need a pack of cleaning powder!"

"One minute and 1 seconds, boy, please face me!"

"The upstairs is full of village netcoms. The young woman has updated her new benefits today. That's the one that licks the screen. Show me wwwXXX. Thank you!"

……

Looking at the overwhelming "1 minute and 38 seconds" comments, Fan Xiaoyue became curious, but she is not an eager person. Unlike most Yangou on K station, she still pays more attention to the overall aesthetics of the video.

Full of anticipation, she clicked on the video labeled "Shao Fu's masterpiece - the latest trailer of "The Phantom of Hometown".

At the beginning of the picture is the whole village at sunset. As the camera slowly advances, the burning clouds in the sky, the golden rice fields and rows of houses constitute a quiet and beautiful paradise picture scroll. There is no BGM at this moment, only the wind blows by rustle.

It is like a scene in a distant dream, so familiar, so beautiful...but so ethereal, as if there is an urge to make people cry.

"Xiaojie, we're here."

Accompanied by this female voice, the picture suddenly became lively, and the sound of BGM also began to sound. With the brisk and smart accompaniment, several pictures flashed one after another. Children chasing and frolicking with each other, women fetching water and washing clothes, and people standing at the door The old man smoking dry tobacco shows the vibrant side of the village vividly, making people who are familiar with village life smile knowingly.

But soon, the tone of the picture changed. The gloomy sky, the village road where every house was closed before it was completely dark, the two big banyan trees planted at the entrance of the village, swaying its branches and leaves in the night wind, the main room An outdated dim yellow light bulb is installed on the door, reflecting the black shadow of the banyan tree dancing.

In the overhead shot, a big red corner of the clothes is exposed between the branches and leaves of the banyan tree.

There was obviously no sound effect at this moment, but Fan Xiaoyue was startled, her heartbeat suddenly became faster, and she took a closer look, only to find that it was a child wearing old clothes with red background and green floral pattern, he ran into the main room while laughing.

Then followed a young boy's figure. The boy's back was very good-looking. Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes, he couldn't hide his graceful figure with broad shoulders and long legs. Then there were multiple montage techniques, quickly switching between the scenes of the child and the boy chasing each other.

The boy's tight jaw, clenched fist but slightly trembling hand, fast running but slightly slow footsteps, each picture shows the tension of the characters in detail, but there is no clear face of the boy.

"I chased him for a long time and came to a strange place."

Fan Xiaoyue froze for a moment before realizing that this was the boy's inner narration. She was stunned by the voice, but she also felt puzzled. Generally, the cutscenes of horror movies are accompanied by fast and continuous flashing shots, causing visual confusion. Stimulating and uncomfortable, accompanied by the startled BGM, the scene where the protagonist or supporting role is constantly running and some bloody and weird shots, and there are usually dialogues, the words are more or less spoiled as the film progresses. Part of the plot.

Voice-over is rarely used in any credits, especially if it's a horror film.

"I saw a coffin."

The young man's tone was low, but his voice was a little dazed. In line with the figure of the young man who suddenly stopped in the picture, the camera finally gave him a close-up.

In less than a second, Fan Xiaoyue was instantly amazed.

She was stunned for a while, only to realize that she had skipped a few episodes inexplicably, she pulled back the progress, and when the boy's face appeared on the screen again, she immediately pressed pause, and the progress was displayed at 1:38 In seconds, she finally understood why there were a lot of "1 minute and 38 seconds" in the comment area. After the screenshot was finished, she continued to read.

In the picture at the moment, it is a typical village hall. Fan Xiaoyue also went back to her hometown in the countryside when she was a child, and knows that the hall is generally used for village sacrifices, or red and white events, etc., and belongs to the public place of the village.

Then, she saw coffins, many coffins, one in the middle of the main room, and many on the top of the beams on all sides.

In the dim candlelight, the little boy in the red-and-green floral old clothes smiled strangely. Standing on the side of the coffin in the middle, he opened and closed his mouth, not knowing what to say.

The young man chased after him fiercely, and the two circled around the coffin a few times, but the coffin lid clicked.

Fan Xiaoyue instantly felt goosebumps all over her body, she resisted the urge to jump and watch, and continued to look down.

The sound of the coffin in the main room at midnight, the eerie phantom in the paddy field at dusk, the wooden toilet not far from the village, the tombstone in the wilderness... Accompanied by the gentle narration of the young man, the more you look at it, the more terrifying it becomes.

The overly familiar scene excavated the childhood memories deep in her memory. She suppressed her fear and would finally finish watching the film.

She breathed a sigh of relief and opened the screenshot just now.

The boy's face was especially childish, with a mischievous expression, but his eyes showed a trace of daze and panic.

This is the most suitable expression for facing fear, but because of his outstanding face, it makes people want to collect it.

It's so beautiful, Fan Xiaoyue couldn't help sighing, her eyes lingered on the boy's slightly opened lips, and those black and white eyes that were as beautiful and full of charm as painted in ink.

Fan Xiaoyue has never understood why the current horror film market is always filled with a large number of sexy beauties, wearing tight or nude/exposing clothes, shaking white thighs, screaming all the way, showing panic.

Now she seemed to understand a little bit.

Seeking a sense of balance between abuse and beauty in fear is indeed easy to irritate people.

It's just that she feels more about men/colors than women/colors.

Fan Xiaoyue slowed down, and finally couldn't help but opened the comment area to guide the way. The one said to be the ultimate face dog licking the screen. She first glanced at the time, and couldn't help being a little disappointed, it was only one minute and 12 seconds.

Then she habitually glanced at the introduction under the video, and was immediately stunned!

The young woman at station K is actually an independent filmmaker!

Fuck, this movie is actually real, not fake! !

This flamboyant movie was actually filmed by a young woman and her classmates! ! !

With all kinds of messed up moods, Fan Xiaoyue had completely forgotten that her job search was not going smoothly. She turned on this video with a dazed face.

……

1 minute and 12 seconds later.

Fan Xiaoyue clutched her chest that had been hit several times, and rubbed her sore hands from continuously taking screenshots for one minute. Will go and see!
