"Tencent joins hands with Youku and iQiyi to find you who can make movies"
"Three top video platforms, 300,000 bonus, 30 days, no restrictions on subject matter, only quality, looking for the best micro-movie..."
An activity jointly launched by three platforms aroused Qin Xiaobao's interest.
To put it simply, from now on until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, for a total of one month, we will look for micro-movies produced by the private sector. In addition to bonuses, there will also be advertising shares.
It seems interesting!
The champion will receive a bonus of 300,000 yuan, which is a lot of money.
Sitting in front of the computer, Xiaobao is thinking.
Half an hour later, he made a decision and called Xiao Zheng.
"What?!" Xiao Zheng almost yelled: "You want to give up the radio station?"
"Don't be so excited!" Xiaobao took the phone farther away, the vibration hurt his ears.
"Can't you hear the subtext of the phone call I just made to you?" The young lady was helpless: "It means it's basically you, and he's not running away. Even the radio station is discussing that they might as well not be the last person on the show tomorrow, and just go directly
Declare you victory, this is the unanimous opinion of the listeners and the radio station."
"I know, I know." Xiaobao knew that the other person was doing it for his own good, so of course he would not be angry because he was yelled at: "Sister Zheng, let me ask you something."
"you say."
"If someone else were to broadcast "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", such as the previous host Zhou Qiang or Xiao Si, what do you think the effect would be?"
"Well... although I don't want to admit it, it may not be too different. Zhou Qiang may even be better."
"That's right!" Qin Xiaobao leaned back in his chair: "I am dispensable and not necessary for the audience at this stage. What everyone cares about is the work.
The reason why I am willing to participate is because I want to have more opportunities, but now it seems that if you want to become famous through broadcasting and hosting, you need to go through a very long process, and you have to ensure that you have works of the same quality, which takes too much time.
.”
"But, didn't you say that the author friend already has a plan?" Xiao Zheng was unwilling to give up.
"Plans are not equal to reality. Writing is not that simple. If it were gone, I would be knocked back to my original shape. It would be a waste of time." Xiaobao said in an organized manner: "Besides, you can discuss the reason why I gave up.
Well, you won't lose anything by letting other anchors take over."
"I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to ask the leader for his opinion."
"I understand!" Xiaobao moved his phone to the left and picked up the mouse with his right hand: "Besides, my live broadcast time is always at night. If I take over the host's job, it won't delay things."
"If the work you found is broadcast to others, wouldn't you suffer a loss?" Xiao Zheng said, I am thinking about you.
"Fortunately, it doesn't have much to do with me. The author also knows that it is in the investment stage and the current payment is for future gains. Otherwise, he would not agree to the so-called one dollar copyright."
"I'm talking about audience conversion."
"It's a bit difficult. After all, live broadcast and radio are completely different concepts. It's a bit difficult to influence each other." Xiaobao pulled the mouse: "Besides, I found another thing to do."
"What's up?"
"Are you at the computer?"
"Um."
"Go to the homepage of Tencent Live. There is a call for submissions for micro-films with prizes."
"Okay, just wait and I'll take a look first."
After a few minutes, the young lady replied: "You want to participate."
"Of course, don't forget, I have a very good writer friend, so I can pick up short stories easily."
"It's a bit difficult to make a movie. I remember you haven't participated in any related filming before."
"The micro-movie is different, there is not so much emphasis on it." Xiaobao raised his voice slightly in order to better convince the other party.
"Already have a theme?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"I told him my idea, and he expressed interest and is currently sorting it out. As expected, it will be a thriller and twist."
"so..."
"That's why I need help, or cooperation with Huyu. You know, even if it's a micro-movie, it's impossible for one person to handle it." Xiaobao opened a notepad casually: "I have all the funds, equipment, and personnel.
want."
"Ha..." Xiao Zheng sighed: "Are you trying to embarrass me, Jingxiang? Again, I have to ask the leader, I can't make the decision."
"Okay, no problem."
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the reply came, and the result was neither good nor bad.
Huyu rejected this plan. The platform has no relevant business, it is just your anchor’s personal behavior. Although the advertising effect of the three major platforms is very good, are you sure you will win the award?
To put it bluntly, it is distrust of Qin Xiaobao.
In particular, during the communication, Minister Zhang did not reveal his true identity, firstly to keep it confidential, and secondly, for fear of causing counter-effects.
The result is not bad, because Minister Zhang is willing to use his power, and the equipment personnel can be provided to Xiaobao for free, but time is limited, so he must do it quickly and cannot delay it.
As for funding, I'm sorry, I can't help.
Qin Xiaobao has no complaints about this. If someone is willing to help, it is a favor. Investing money is another matter.
With the personnel and equipment, many problems have been solved.
In the next two days, Xiaobao stayed at home. Apart from the live broadcast, all his energy was focused on the preparation of the micro-film.
The first is the script, which didn’t take much time. The story is in my mind, and I don’t even need to take the shots. I just write it from memory.
Then there are various scenes, estimated shooting time, actors, props, etc.
It has been written for more than twenty pages. You know, excluding the beginning and the end, it is only an 11-minute movie. If it were an orthodox film, it would not grow exponentially.
Once you have a plan, put it into action immediately.
Xiao Zheng and two friends in the live broadcast group helped a lot. One of them is an accountant. Not counting the actors, three days of filming, including rent, transportation, meals, etc., cost approximately
Around 20,000.
There are about ten actors in total, only one is the male protagonist, and the others are supporting roles.
According to the market price, it's not expensive. The male protagonist gets one thousand a day, and the other two hundred.
Of course, all of these are theoretical expenses. More than 90% of movies will exceed the budget during post-production.
Xiaobao was glad that he didn't tell him about the money for the computer first. Now that he suddenly regretted it, he would definitely be embarrassed in terms of face.
If you have more than 40,000 yuan, it seems to be barely enough.
What?
What if you don’t win the prize?
Just kidding, Qin Xiaobao chose a work that won the Best Short Film Award at the Louvre International Film Festival and the Best Short Film Award at the French César Award.
Are you saying you are acclimatized?
That's okay, just do it as an experiment. Anyway, in a few days, the novel will be on the shelves, and you will have income immediately.
It’s rare to be reborn, why don’t you live according to your own ideas?
