James Dean and Robert were shocked by Li Yi's short film "Love is a Gift".
It's not because of how shocking the short film is, but because of the original film and comparison with this short film, they were shocked!
Soon, James Dean asked the promotion department to launch these two short films as soon as possible and give them maximum promotion.
After all, time waits for nothing, "A Dog's Purpose" is being released. At this time, if the short film "Love is a Gift" can successfully become popular on the Internet, it will also be a very beneficial publicity for "A Dog's Purpose".
In particular, the birth process of this short film is miraculous. It is conceivable that Li Yi's name will definitely become synonymous with magic!
The energy of Dean Films is still very strong.
The two short films "Love is a Gift" and "Christmas Gift" were bundled and posted on the largest video website in North America, and they began to be promoted vigorously.
And "Love is a Gift" is a very special short film.
The biggest difference from other short films is that this short film is simply outrageous, but this short film can easily touch the most sensitive points in people's hearts.
There are no dazzling shots, no celebrity support, no luxurious scene decorations, and it is only more than a minute long. But because of this, this short film has spread faster.
Because even if you lose focus, the short film may be over.
This short film, in another world, without any promotion resources, could rely on the quality of the short film to turn countless viewers into tap water and become popular all over the Internet.
It generated millions of views in three days and made the author of the short film an Internet celebrity overnight, which is enough to explain the problem.
What's more, in this world, this short film has the full support of Dean Films, the blessing of Li Yi's name, and the "magical" birth process, compared with the short film "Christmas Gift".
The results are naturally self-evident.
Even Li Yi himself didn't think of it.
With the full promotion of Dean Films, this short film became a trend all over the Internet in just one day, no, even in less time!
Of course, Li Yi didn't know yet at this time.
He was filming another short film at a bus stop near UCLA with Meng Yibin and others!
This short film can be said to be as simple as "Love is a Gift"!
The name of this short film is "Waiting"!
The filming process was very simple. In fact, the entire short film was uneventful, without any major ups and downs, until the last moment.
Even the filming took less than an hour or two to complete!
When the final film was edited, they were all a little unbelievable because it was really too fast!
This time it was different from before, because the filming location was at the school’s bus stop, so after the film was cut, many people from Meng Yibin’s school heard about it and came to join in the fun!
Especially after learning Li Yi's identity, the small screening room, which originally had only a few people, was filled with people watching the peep show.
But Meng Yibin and others didn't mind sharing with them the story of the birth of this short film and the stories of previous short films.
This caused the directing students at the University of California, Los Angeles, to call their friends and eventually even their instructors were alarmed.
As a result, the small screening room turned into a large screening room.
Li Yi was also quite helpless. He didn't want to do such a big thing, but now it's not a matter of whether he wants to or not, but there are too many people coming!
"Li, the enthusiasm of the students didn't cause you any trouble, did it?" Professor Jimmy, Meng Yibin's tutor, said with a smile.
"What if I say yes?" Li Yi said jokingly.
In the end, Jimmy laughed loudly and said: "Then I can only say sorry! But you can also see that they are very curious about you and your work, especially the short film that you completed in one afternoon.
More curious! Of course, I’m curious too!”
"Well, I hope I won't disappoint you!" Li Yi spread his hands and said.
The atmosphere of domestic universities is indeed very different from that here.
Like in China, maybe Li Yi would be more humble towards his mentor Li Mingshan, but here there is no need.
The students here are also more open-minded. For example, Meng Yibin was so proud that he put his own work in the school's cinema screening hall that can accommodate nearly a thousand people for the first time!
And among a group of pretty girls, they began to talk endlessly about the magical things that happened today.
It can arouse the surprise of girls from time to time.
Of course, he must paint himself with various non-existent colors.
For example, Li Yi was inspired by his short film, and then vividly said how surprised they were at the time, how shocking the results were, etc.
Anyway, it’s just two words, it’s amazing!
In fact, not only Meng Yibin, but also Meng Yibin's other classmates were surrounded by many people.
Listen to them talk about the amazing things they experienced today.
After a while, the students in the theater began to quiet down because the short film started to play.
It's quite interesting to say that Meng Yibin's short film was originally a mediocre work, but at this time, the students in the screening hall were watching it with gusto. It's not that this short film is useless, but this short film is far from "amazing"
"There's still a long way to go.
Maybe a feature film is described as mediocre, but sometimes it really can’t be said to be derogatory, because at least the audience didn’t call it a bad movie!
But there is no such saying in short films! Mediocrity means complete failure!
However, although this short film is mediocre, it cannot stand up. It is the original work of another short film.
If you don’t look carefully, you will soon find the difference between the two?
After the second short film came out, there was no surprise, and there was a burst of exclamations in the theater.
Although many of the people who come here are not directing students, it does not prevent them from exclaiming because they can easily discover the similarities and differences between the two short films.
The latter was only a short film of less than two minutes, which really made them feel the charm of light and shadow, and also felt the magic of Li Yi!
This reduction of complexity suddenly gave the entire short film a brand-new sublimation. The comparison only highlights the excellence of "Love is a Gift".
The sounds of "Amazing!" and "Unbelievable!" echoed in the theater, making people feel like they were playing mini games...
Professor Jimmy also glanced at Li Yi in surprise, stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up!
Some things seem simple, but become more difficult to do.
For example, the short film "Love is a Gift" seems to be very simple. There is only one person in the whole short film, and the male protagonist who appears in the film does not even have a single line. The plot is even more simple and outrageous, but it happens to make people laugh. I was moved involuntarily.
This is the charm of short films. There are no details, but they can touch you in the shortest time!
