Chapter Six The Micro Film Contest Officially Begins
In Chengdu, at this time Xu Ji didn’t know that Sha Yetong had officially performed.
He has been so busy these days that sometimes he doesn't even bother to eat.
But the final result made Xu Ji satisfied.
After being busy during this period, my micro-movie has been successfully shot, and only the final editing part is left.
The reason why it went so smoothly is naturally that Xu Ji studied in Chengdu for four years, and with the help of his college classmates, he successfully found the actors he needed.
They are all friendly appearances, and there is no performance fee.
But even so, during post-editing, Xu Ji still had a headache when he saw the poor picture quality captured by his almost obsolete camera and the slightly embarrassing acting skills of the actors.
Fortunately, the original short film I chose is not very good in these aspects, and is even worse than his.
The key lies in the script itself and the use of lens language, which have met Xu Ji's requirements.
"Finally done!"
At three o'clock in the morning, after sitting in front of the computer for almost ten hours, Xu Ji breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to stretch his somewhat stiff body.
After cooking himself a bowl of noodles, Xu Ji opened the website of the National Youth Micro Film Competition.
The National Micro Film Competition has been held for the seventh time so far, once a year.
Today's influence is considered the largest micro-film competition in China.
The prize money for the first place in the competition is actually only 100,000, which is not particularly large compared to some competitions with high prize money.
But the key is that as long as you can get the top three rankings in the competition, you can participate in the young director support program led by some big guys in the industry.
As long as you can join this plan, it means that you can get at least 5 million in investment for the next movie or web series you direct!
There are also more corresponding opportunities.
In the past, many young directors who participated in this program had their works released normally.
Many of them have achieved high box office and become representatives of young directors.
After uploading my work, I opened Danmaku G Station, the largest original video website on Blue Star.
The work still has to face the market, so in addition to the judges' scores in the competition.
The official also organized it jointly with Station G, and used the number of views and coins on the website as one of the criteria for ranking, which accounted for 50% of the final competition score.
Today happens to be the time when the participating videos can be uploaded to the G station, and Xu Ji found the relevant page.
Xu Ji used his own personal account. After finishing the cover of the video and adding tags such as "National Youth Micro Film Competition" and "College Entrance Examination", Xu Ji wrote the recommendation words and title of the video.
Something.
"The entry for the 7th National Youth Micro Film Competition - "Goodbye, Jinhua Station""
After finishing this, Xu Ji took a look at some of the uploaded works on the website.
He discovered that although only three hours had passed, the highest number of views had already reached 400,000!
And it’s still early in the morning, which proves that netizens are still paying a lot of attention to the game.
Let’s take a look at the video he posted. It’s been more than ten minutes since he posted it, but the number of views is still a pitiful “1”.
That's right, this only playback was clicked by Xu Ji himself.
Maybe it's because it's too late.
Xu Ji thought so in his mind that he yawned and finally couldn't bear to go to bed.
......
Xu Ji slept until he got up in the afternoon the next day. Even though Xu Ji was actually confident in his micro-movie, the first thing he did after waking up was he couldn't help but check the playback volume.
"187"
It has exceeded single digits, but compared with some other competition works, it is really unsightly.
On the competition page of Station G, the highest number of views has reached more than 1.2 million.
It even became a hit, with more than 10,000 people watching it at this time.
In fact, some other works have a lot of views, and two of them have exceeded one million.
I counted more than 500,000 Xujis, and there are 7.
This is even when the day has not even passed.
Xu Ji also took some time to read some of the competition works, and after reading them, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
Good quality is no longer rare.
He also put away his previous contempt.
Even in Blue Star, capable young directors are still emerging in endlessly.
And the other party obviously has more sufficient funds and professional actors.
Compared with the small camera he bought when he was a freshman, it was simply a dimensionality reduction blow.
However, Xu Ji is not panic, he has confidence in this "Goodbye, Jinhua Station".
The video length of the micro-movie is actually just right for a website like G Station.
For example, on some other short video websites, even if the video is only about half an hour long, it is still a bit unfriendly to users.
......
"The game begins!"
"Have all your works been uploaded?"
"@all members"
In Xu Ji’s university class group, someone sent a message asking.
"This year is really a fight between gods."
"You are saying that someone like Gu Yu, who has already made a hit online drama, still comes to compete. Isn't this bullying?"
The influence of the competition is so huge that naturally he cannot be the only one in Xu Ji’s graduating class of the directing department to participate.
After someone asked, someone started sharing links to their entries in the group.
Then the group, which had become deserted due to graduation, suddenly became lively.
At this moment, a figure suddenly came out and shared a link to the G station in the group, and then said:
"The number of views just exceeded 500,000."
"Now in line twenty-one."
"I'm actually not very satisfied."
The originally lively group suddenly became quiet.
Although it has been more than three months since he graduated, Xu Ji was deeply impressed by the college classmate who just spoke.
This person's name is Lu Jiawen. When he was in college, he was affectionately called "King B" by them. The nickname originated from his love of pretending to be B.
However, although Lu Jiawen's interpersonal relationships are not good and many people can't stand it, he really has two skills.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the other party to successfully pretend to be so many times.
At least the current results, for Xu Ji and his entire class, are indeed considered to be outstanding among the others.
Seeing that no one was talking, Xu Ji responded with a clapping expression in the group to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Then the group suddenly started to form a formation, but no one was typing or talking anymore.
......
By night, Xu Ji’s work had been played more than 1,000 times.
There are also four or five comments.
But it can still be described as bleak.
Did you really choose the wrong movie?
At this time, even Xu Ji began to doubt himself.
Xu Ji was a little disheartened.
But the only thing that Xu Ji thinks is a good thing is that the competition is very popular.
At this time, among the videos on G station’s popular website, almost all of them are entries from the Youth Micro Film Competition.
This means that there are still many people paying attention.
But let alone Xu Ji’s movies, which are popular, they can’t even be found on the corresponding recommendation page of the micro-film competition.
Xu Ji did not continue to pay attention, but went to bed early to adjust his schedule.
The next day, after Xu Ji got up and washed up and had breakfast, he remembered about watching his own movie.
But as soon as he opened the G station, Xu Ji found something was wrong.
Why is the first popular video on this homepage so familiar?!!!
