Microfilms were very popular in another time and space, but in this world, this form of microfilms only exists abroad, and it is not called a microfilm, but a short film.
So Wang Shang is planning to produce a micro-movie by himself, upload it to the Internet, create an era of online micro-movies, and build his reputation as a director.
The micro-movie script prepared by Wang Shang is the top-ranked "Hope Tree" in China. It tells the story of a volunteer teacher who comes to a remote mountain village in Yunnan to teach. His arrival brings hope to these poor children in the mountains.
During the three years of teaching, he taught voluntarily without a salary and even relied on the support of his friends. He also sang and sold CDs in bars just to buy meat for his children.
The simplicity and innocence of the children in the film and their angelic faces are shocking. The children's gratitude to their supporting teachers is even more tear-jerking.
The script has been written and Wang Shang started renting film and television production equipment.
At this moment, news that shocked the world came.
World Dance King-Michael Jackson passed away!
He died of heart failure and failed to save him.
Michael Jackson's death triggered global grief, and nearly 1.1 billion people watched the live broadcast of his public memorial ceremony! The last concert in his life was originally scheduled to start on February 13 next year. The total number of tickets for the 50 concerts was
About 1 million tickets were sold out within 4.5 hours, but the concert could not start as scheduled due to the death of Michael Jackson.
And his fans in China also spontaneously organized large-scale memorial ceremonies, with a total number of more than 100 million!
Although Wang Shang has just come to this world, the memory left by this body will inevitably affect him and make him sad. At this time, Wang Shang suddenly thought of another short film.
"Instead of filming "The Hope Tree", I will film "Oldboy"!"
"Oldboy" in another time and space was filmed to commemorate the death of Michael Jackson. It was very appropriate to film it at this time.
"Oldboy" tells a story about "youth". The difference is that once this 43-minute online short film was online, it swept the entire Internet with a "viral" spread. "Youth" and "dreams" triggered a 60-
The nostalgia of the 80s broke out collectively, and "tears bursting into tears" became the most frequently used movie-watching experience.
The first half of the micro-movie is full of nostalgic and funny elements, including campus jokes such as guitar playing and singing, dancing like MJ, and pursuing the class beauty; "Flower Fairy", "Xiao Fang", "Sixteen Years Old", "Sailor", "Star"
Old songs like "Light Up" and "Billiejean"; brick-like old cassette recorders, BP players, and handheld game consoles... all evoke the collective memories of the generation born in the 60s to 80s, and almost everyone can find something about their past.
shadow.
Its performance on the Internet is also very crazy. In just half a month, the number of online views of the film has reached more than 47 million (excluding downloads for offline viewing and other ways of forwarding). For an online short film that lacks commercial operation
, such a spreading speed can only be described as "crazy".
Thinking of this, Wang Shang stopped renting equipment and rushed home to write the script.
…
While Wang Shang was staying at home and concentrating on writing the script, a piece of information began to leak out from the entertainment industry: "Wang Shang, who was expelled from the Shanghai Media College, has written a TV series script, has signed a contract with Datang International, and is currently preparing for filming.
.”
As soon as this news came out, the media, which had initially stopped paying attention to the feud between Wang Shang and the School of Media and Communication in Shanghai, became excited again.
"Not only was he not crushed, but he also wrote a high-profile script and sold it?"
This news was deliberately leaked by Datang International in order to heat up the matter again.
As expected, the media surged again and rushed to the downstairs of Datang International Building to block people for interviews.
Datang International was "baffled" at first, and then responded quickly and actively, holding a large press conference.
A total of more than a hundred reporters came to the scene, half of them from major media outlets in Shanghai, and many reporters from foreign media also came.
The Northern Metropolis Daily reporter stood up and asked Datang International spokesperson Yang Lei: "When Wang Shang was in school, he had a record of raping a female teacher and raping her. Why did Datang International dare to accept his script? We are not afraid of the public.
Don’t buy it?”
Yang Lei pretended to be cute and asked in reply: "Wang Shang has a history of raping women and fucking teachers? I don't know? Is there any evidence? If there is no evidence, there is no need to talk about it."
Yang Lei also knew that there was a piece of recording evidence that could clear Wang Shang's name, but according to the plan, he would not release it for the time being until public opinion became more popular before releasing it.
The reporter from Northern Metropolis Daily continued to pester sharply: "You mean to say that the Shanghai School of Media and Communication is fooling the public?"
This sentence immediately pushed Datang International to the opposite side of the Shanghai Media School. When other reporters heard this, their eyes lit up, as if they had been injected with blood.
As the spokesperson of Datang International, a large company, Yang Lei was not a vegetarian, so he responded lightly: "I have not made any comments about the Shanghai School of Media and Communication, because the matter between Wang Shang and it is completely
It's unclear, so I won't comment."
Although Datang International is not afraid of Shanghai Media School, it will try to avoid collisions if possible. As for the transaction with Wang Shangzhi, it was just a business transaction, a business deal.
Later, Yang Lei accepted several interviews and answered lightly.
The focus began to shift from Wang Shang to the TV drama script.
"We at Datang International believe that the script of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" is very good. Our editors have praised it highly. We at Datang International believe that we will be able to use it to make a very good TV series."
"This is a very good Qing Dynasty TV series. It does not treat the palace figures in an entertaining way. In order to compete for favor and superiority, the concubines will frame each other at all costs, intrigues, laughter on the surface, and swords drawn against each other secretly. Other
The careful and rigorous details of the plot, the twists and turns of the plot, and the evocative and timeless classical Chinese lines all give the play an extraordinary style of serious drama."
"It may lead a trend!"
Yang Lei desperately boasted about the awesomeness of this drama, saying that once this drama is released, it will be invincible in the world.
Reporters took photos one after another and became interested in the show.
The press conference lasted for nearly two hours, but most of the reporters were entangled in the 'grievances' between Wang Shang and the School of Media and Communication in Shanghai.
After the reception, newspapers and online media from all sides began to erupt.
"Datang International believes Wang Shang is innocent!"
“Datang International questioned the inside story of the Shanghai School of Media and Media and harmed outstanding students!”
"Modu Media College strongly condemns Datang International for harboring moral scum!"
"Morality is corrupt, social norms are deteriorating, Datang International is betraying morality for profit!"
All kinds of headlines are constantly appearing, and the language is alarmist, as if Datang International is at war with the Shanghai Media College. Media from all over the country are also following the same example, constantly distorting the story, either portraying Wang Shang as a scourge, or turning the Shanghai into a scourge.
The School of Communication has been shaped into a place where shady people gather.
And Datang International also hired a large number of gunmen to secretly add fuel to the flames, fueling the flames of both sides. It just so happened that during this period, except for the death of the Dance King, there was no other hot topic, so the discussion about Wang Shang started again.
It's getting hot.
People just like to read gossip and watch with force, whether it is the earth or this world! The media quarrel with each other to increase sales, and the readers are happy for the media to quarrel for their own entertainment!
After being hyped by the media, Wang Shang, who had never been taken seriously by anyone, began to enter the eyes of people across the country, and this "The Legend of Zhen Huan" written by Wang Shang also became a hot topic.
"The Legend of Zhen Huan" has become popular even before it was launched, and has been remembered by countless people.
This hot topic of public opinion makes the media make a lot of money and makes the readers happy.
But the person who benefited the most from it was Wang Shang, a fledgling. He had just stepped out of the fledgling, and he was remembered by people across the country, although he had mixed negative and positive images.
But the most important thing in the entertainment industry is fame. Bad fame is better than no fame. Otherwise, how could the scandals come about?
Because of the popularity of this topic, Datang International began to strike while the iron was hot and began to prepare for the filming of "The Legend of Zhen Huan". The director had been selected some time ago. At that time, several directors were interested in directing this TV series, and finally chose
Directed by Zheng Long, the most popular and experienced director.
Datang International has strong capabilities and carefully selected the corresponding actors for each role in just half a month.
The director believes that the famous mainland actress Kong Li, with her eyebrow-cut bangs, simple bun and light pink flag uniform, is very consistent with Zhen Huan in the original work.
The famous Hong Kong actor Chen Jianbin has a mustache, slightly opened small eyes, a thick and thick figure, and exudes the atmosphere of an uncle. From appearance to temperament, he fits the image of the emperor in the play.
The selection of actors has been completed.
On October 5, 2000, "The Legend of Zhen Huan" officially started filming.
Big-name directors and many celebrities gathered together, coupled with the gossip and public opinion hype during this period, it attracted hundreds of media to interview on the day of the launch.
However, Wang Shang did not show up in a low-key manner, which made those media who wanted to catch Wang Shang and bite him sigh.
Subsequently, Datang International released a little bit of news about "The Legend of Zhen Huan" every few days, including stills and lines, which aroused the curiosity and attention of many people.
There are already a lot of people eagerly waiting for the show to air!
