Compared with Penguin Video’s publicity routine, Cool Cat Video has a different one.
First of all, I borrowed the fragment from Li Yi’s previous work "Girl in the Alps".
When Heidi was in class, the teacher asked everyone what they wanted to be when they grow up. Some said she wanted to be a shepherd, some said she wanted to be a blacksmith, some said she wanted to be a farmer. Heidi said she wanted to be a storyteller. Everyone laughed at Heidi's dream.
.
Then there is a section of real answers from children in school.
A child said: "I want to be a courier when I grow up!"
The whole class burst into laughter.
But is this funny?
Yes, it seems funny to many people.
But the child added: "Because then I can help daddy deliver the express, and he won't be so tired!"
Some children also said: "I want to be a cleaner when I grow up!"
"I want to be an advertising designer when I grow up because I want to promote my work to the world."
"I want to be an animal barista when I grow up because I love having a space with animals."
"I want to be a chef when I grow up, because I like cooking. Being a chef allows me to cook my favorite dishes."
"Maybe the dreams we had once seemed ridiculous to others, but..."
The screen cuts into the conversation between Grandma and Heidi from "Girls of the Alps".
"If something in life makes you happy, do it!"
"Are the dreams that once made you happy still there?"
"Do you still remember the dream you had?"
"The dream of "Oldboy" will never fade, even if the boy is old! Director Li Yi's new film, "Oldboy" cheers to that dream!"
Although the promotion strategies of the two platforms are slightly different, they are undoubtedly successful!
Because this successfully brought up the topic of "dreams".
Although many people can't help but complain when it comes to dreams.
"What age are you still doing this? A dream? What the hell is that?"
"Cheers to the dream? Is this the rhythm of forcing a bowl of poisonous chicken soup?"
"But I did have a lot of dreams when I was a child. Although it seems very secondary and outrageous now and makes me laugh, but was it really what I thought at that time?"
"Has Director Dog finally exhausted his talents? He actually started playing dream jokes. Times have changed for adults!"
"Dream? That's bullshit. If you drink chicken soup every day, your immunity will be very strong!"
"I don't know when it started, but dream has actually become a derogatory word, a word that people complain about. Isn't this a tragedy?"
"Everyone complains about dreams, but in the dead of night, when you are alone, do you think of the times when you thought about what you want to do in the future?"
"Dreams never fade, haha, but people will grow up, and the cold reality will make the word dream become cold!"
"Anyone who has a passion for dreams means he is a loser. The funny thing is, I am such a loser, hahahahaha!"
"..."
Times are different. If we had mentioned and talked about dreams ten years earlier, everyone would still be suffocating for their dreams.
But nowadays, because too many people mention "dreams" and too many programs use "dreams" for marketing, the result is that when you talk about the so-called "dreams", you immediately think
This will offend many people.
Just like some netizens said, a person who has a passion for dreams means he is a loser, but in life, there are too many losers.
But no matter what, this topic did become popular thanks to the promotion of two video platforms.
Because it is indeed not fashionable to talk about dreams at all, but dreams are dreams. They may be disgusted and disgusted with their mouths, but they are very honest in their hearts, because who has never had a dream?
But, how many people have realized it now?
Others say that dreams are just a lie, a lie we deceive ourselves.
What you want to be and what you really become are actually different answers in many cases.
However, those sparkling lies are full of surprises and possibilities, even if some of the answers seem to be half-baked and childish now. But looking back, I think how meaningless the question of what do you want to be when you grow up is. The world after you grow up.
, many of the things we do do not actually exist now, but what our passion is and who we are is a topic worthy of a lifetime of exploration.
No matter how disdainful you are towards your dreams, no matter how much you complain about them.
However, Li Yi's "Oldboy" micro-movie has still become the most anticipated work on the Internet today.
After all, Director Dog’s reputation is there.
Moreover, the promotion of the two major video platforms makes it difficult for many people to ignore it.
Of course, the anti-fans are also eagerly awaiting it.
Waiting for the dog director to fail and sink into the sand.
It’s not that they think Li Yi is not good enough, it’s that this subject, to be honest, is really not popular anymore.
Just look at the complaints on the Internet.
Because the theme of dreams is really not that pleasing.
Especially Li Yi's style is tear-jerking, so if you are not careful, it will be really difficult for this short film to achieve the effect.
After all, after everyone has the first subconscious impression of disgust, how easy is it to bring it into being?
As time went by, Penguin Video and Cool Cat Video saw the feedback from netizens on the Internet. It was not surprising that they did the opposite and directly stirred up another topic.
The weirdest dream!
At every stage of life, there will be different ideas, and similarly, there will also be some inexplicable dreams that are extremely weird to think of nowadays. Do you have any?
Many netizens enthusiastically participated in this topic.
"I used to have a very weird dream, which was to find Wu Dalang's tomb, open Wu Dalang's coffin, extract DNA to resurrect Wu Dalang. Then, while xing him, I would shout, I'm going to kill you, little devil."
Many netizens fell to their knees directly after watching it.
“I feel that there are too many people in my country and there are too many people in the world. No matter how hard I work, there are many, many people ahead of me.
I actually dream that one day the world's population will decrease sharply, and the earth's environment will be like hundreds of thousands of years ago. The rain in the sky and the water in the river will be drinkable without pollution. Then I will live alone in a yard that is not too big or too small.
There are high walls to prevent wild beasts from entering. In the morning, I take a gun and go hunting, pick fruits, mushrooms, and dig wild vegetables. In the afternoon, I read, draw, and play games. I go to bed at sunrise and sunset, and rest after a while.
Get together with friends.
If I meet someone I really like, and he happens to like me, we can stay together and have two children, both male and female.
If you don't meet one, just grow old alone and raise a dog in your later years. When you are too old to move, dig a hole deep in the forest, take some sleeping pills, lie down in the hole, sleep and never wake up.
It’s so unrealistic, but this is the deepest dream in my heart.”
"When I was a kid, I wished there would be a power outage while visiting the mall. I have to say... Ever since I learned that malls have generators, my ultimate foodie dream has been shattered!"
