Chapter 1007 I havent grown up yet, so I dont want to answer this question!
The original "Oldboy" can be said to be a short film that lacked commercial operation, but it was able to achieve such success in the end, not because of how well the film was shot, but because of the sincerity of the film and the theme it expressed.
Although it is a vulgar "dream", it is an old ambition, and it immediately hits the deepest point in the hearts of people of that age group.
Although many people always sneer when they mention "dreams", in the dead of night, do they think of the "child's play" dreams of middle school students?
This is why the topic of dreams has always been an ever-popular topic, and the final song "Old Boy", as the finishing touch, sublimated an originally rough short film.
Of course, Li Yi did not create such a short film on a whim. He mainly wanted to give it a try and see how the market feedback would be for such youthful and nostalgic short films.
This does not mean that works that can be popular in another world will definitely be popular in this world. After all, the timeline nodes are different.
To be honest, the acting style of the male protagonist in the original version of "Oldboy" was actually not suitable for this short film in Li Yi's opinion.
Because if this short film is performed in a funny and even obscene style, it will not add any points to the story itself, but will reduce a lot of impression points.
Regarding filming, Zhuo Yixiong suggested that you can cooperate with a TV station. The micro-movie contains the plot of a talent show, so you can definitely cooperate with a real talent show.
But after thinking about it for a while, Li Yi rejected this suggestion.
Because in Li Yi's view, using "Oldboy" to promote a TV station's talent show is actually a disadvantage. Although this can make a lot of profits, Li Yi still doesn't want to do it.
On the one hand, this is because talent shows have long been "outdated" these days.
There was a time in the early years when talent shows could be said to be in full bloom, but now, talent shows are no longer the favorites of the audience, especially the various uneven talent shows, which have long caused the audience to suffer from aesthetic fatigue, coupled with various "
"Shady" and various "routines", therefore, it is almost difficult to see talent shows in popular variety shows nowadays.
In Li Yi's view, the talent show in "Oldboy" is itself part of "nostalgia".
So he would rather set up his own studio to shoot it than use it to promote a talent show.
Another aspect is because of impression.
Talent shows all have one characteristic: they all like to dream, like to be miserable, and like to tell stories.
It may work well at first, but if you watch it too much, it will only have the opposite effect.
The filming of the short film started soon and in a low-key manner.
For a great director like Li Yi, making this kind of short film is really like using a cannon to swat mosquitoes.
So it was actually very easy to shoot.
Of course, since it is going to be filmed, it is natural to find a broadcast platform for this micro-movie.
Penguin Video and Kumao Video are platforms that have cooperated more with Li Yi.
After the heads of the two families heard the news, they naturally took it very seriously.
Perhaps for such a large platform, it is just a short film, what is it worth paying attention to?
But where Li Yi's name is placed, and the films directed by Li Yi are listed, let alone micro-movies, even short films are worthy of their attention.
After the time was determined, the two platforms began to promote Li Yi's new work. Although it was still early, they did not fully promote it, but the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and Li Yi's new work are about to be launched. For many
It is naturally very attractive to netizens and movie fans.
Any film and television work that wants to be distributed cannot do without marketing and publicity operations.
"Oldboy" is no exception.
After discussing with Li Yi, Penguin Video and Kumao Video each came up with different promotion methods.
First, here is Penguin Video:
"What do you want to be when you grow up?" Penguin Video did not immediately point out the theme of the film "Oldboy", but raised such a question and raised such a topic.
In the torture of the soul from childhood to adulthood, I believe everyone has been asked this question when they were young: "What do you want to do when you grow up?"
Every time a question is asked, parents will eagerly wait for their children to give answers that meet their expectations. This question is as deeply rooted in the soil of our growth as "You have to be good", and it pops up from time to time as a reminder.
We are still here.
In the street shooting video, the first person asked was a child.
"Kid, what do you want to do when you grow up?"
As a result, the child's dark eyes wandered for a long time, and then he gave an answer that many people found funny but also inexplicably sad: "I haven't grown up yet, so I don't want to answer this question!"
Yes, we haven’t grown up yet. Why should we answer this question?
However, if you think about it in reverse, it seems that the answers of different age groups were actually different.
The second person asked this question was a high school student wearing a school uniform.
"What do you want to do in the future? Or do you have any dreams?"
Different from the previous children's answers, this time the high school student's answer is: "I want to be a host, and I want others to see me in the middle of the stage! I will take the college entrance examination next year, and I have been working hard towards this goal.
!”
The high school student's answer was firm.
And he has been working hard for this goal and this dream.
It was completely different from the previous feelings. Seeing this high school student's firm answer, many people couldn't help but remain silent.
Perhaps it just confirms the saying: "Those who have dreams are happy!"
This high school student has his own goals and dreams, and he is getting closer to his goals and dreams step by step, working hard minute by minute.
Many people can’t help but ask themselves, do they have a dream?
Maybe?
But are you working hard for your dreams?
Many people will remain silent.
Because this is the damn reality!
The third one is a fashionable urban beauty in her twenties.
"Dream? When I was a child, I wanted to be a psychologist. The reason is that I want to help people become happy!" the girl replied.
"So what now? What is your profession?"
"Now? Jobless!
"
In subsequent street photography interviews, almost everyone could tell that they had some kind of dream in the past, what they wanted to be, and what they wanted to do.
But there are very few that actually come true.
In the end, many people were asked: "Do you still have such thoughts now?"
Many people are silent in response!
And many people who watched the video were silent.
I couldn't help but think of a time when I was extremely eager, hoping to be something, to be able to do something, but now...
At the end of the short film: "Is your dream still there?"
"Director Li Yi directs, a brand new masterpiece! Everyone has had a dream, but have we really worked hard for our dreams? "Oldboy" is a story about dreams, so stay tuned!"
