tearjerker director

Chapter 291 Thirty million a day, so terrifying

The short film "Forward with Weights" created such a big battle that the limelight of several films released in this schedule was suppressed.

at the same time.

in Melbourne, Australia.

After watching the final film of "Walk With Weight".

Rogers couldn't help saying: "This can definitely be expanded into a feature film."

"That's right, Li, are you interested in expanding this short film into a full-length film?" Alex couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

Li Yi shook his head. In fact, he also has a feature film of this movie in his memory.

But to be honest, the story is a little thin.

He wasn't very interested.

Moreover, it is impossible for this kind of feature film to be released in China.

Then I can only go to Hollywood, but in Li Yi's memory, the feature film "Forward with Weights" seems to have not met expectations.

"I don't have this idea for now, why? Alex, do you have an idea?" Li Yi asked with a smile.

Alex pondered for a moment and said: "It is indeed a good idea, but if the story is made into a feature film, it will appear a bit thin, and the script needs to be refined."

Li Yi nodded, which is why he was not interested in making a feature film of this film.

However, Li Yi is quite confident about the short film "Forward with Weights", so if Alex is interested, Li Yi doesn't mind handing it over to Alex directly to shoot, um, and earn a little extra money !
"Let's see the response of the short film first, and I'll think about it later!" Alex also hesitated. He also knew that if this short film is expanded into a long film, the story must be filled, but after filling, it can still be so amazing. performance?

He can't guarantee it!
After confirming that Li Yi was shooting a short film.

Several domestic video giants contacted Li Yi immediately.

At the same time, they sent people to Melbourne to look for Li Yi, hoping to win the exclusive rights to broadcast "Forward with Weight".

It is estimated that if some unsatisfactory directors in the country know about the price offered, they will be envious and jealous.

But Li Yi's short film is worth the price!

Because Li Yi's short film means traffic, and it's not a little bit of traffic.

In particular, "Forward with Weight" is not the same as Li Yi's previous short films. This is a short film with an "international lineup".

And now the attention is simply exploding.

Therefore, they naturally don't want to miss it, and if they can't get the exclusive, they must not let their competitors get it.

In fact, it is very difficult to realize works in the form of micro-movies and short films.

Don't look at so many short film festivals around the world, but the ability to monetize short films is indeed very difficult.

And most directors make short films, in fact, entirely for the sake of fame, as a step up.

It is rare for a major domestic director like Li Yi to go to shoot short films.

Of course, even if this is the case, Li Yi is actually the only one in China, and there is no other.

Because this is what Li Yi used to type out a series of popular short films.

Although Penguin Video and Kumao Video didn't get the exclusive, they didn't let their opponents get the exclusive either!

After returning, the two video sites gave the short film the greatest promotional support.

Directly hang the poster of "Forward with Weight" on the front page.

The background color of the poster is burnt yellow, which gives people a feeling of desolation, and there is a black silhouette on the title of "Forward with Weight" around it.

In the black silhouette, it can be seen that a man is leaning on a cane and carrying a child on his back. The most conspicuous thing is the balloon tied with a rope, because the balloon is bright red!

The appearance of this poster has caused many netizens to speculate.

"Zombie movies, go forward with a heavy load, wouldn't it be a zombie leading a child to hunt?"

"Director Dog's usual style is tearjerker, so I guess it's not a simple zombie movie, maybe it's another tearjerker short film!"

"Director Dog's style has changed in the last two films, right? I think this poster is probably a trick to sell dog meat. This must be a short horror film!"

"Zombie movies must be in the style of horror and horror, right? Who the hell would use zombie movies to make tear-jerking effects?"

"The poster is very obvious. A man carries a child on his back to survive in the zombie apocalypse. You can guess the ending. It must be the hero who died for the child!"

In any case, the fact that a short film can attract so many eyeballs is enough to make people envious and jealous.

And soon Penguin Video and Kumao Video released some related behind-the-scenes stories of "Forward with Weight" to further warm up the short film.

What "Going With Weight" is the inspiration Li Yi got from participating in the Melbourne Zombie Festival when he was traveling.

It was also revealed that Alex, a director who is a zombie fan, said every year that he would make a zombie film. Rogers and Alex met five years ago because of the Zombie Festival. As a result, Rogers waited for five years.

The so-called zombie movies directed by Alex are still in the water.

When Rogers was parading as a zombie, he deliberately scared Li Yi, but the "brain" kicked by Li Yi flew out.

It only took a short week from the filming of "Moving Forward with a Load" to the end.

The Rogers family played the characters in "Carrying Forward", and so on, and so on.

It's pretty dramatic anyway.

This also makes people look forward to this short film even more.

And Penguin Video and Kumao Video came up with a very fresh trick in order to popularize this short film.

Netizens help to launch "Forward with Weight" ahead of schedule!
On the advertising banners on the homepages of the two video sites, netizens can help.

Each account can be assisted once a day, and one day can be shortened if the number of assisted times reaches one million.

"Moving Forward with Weight" will be promoted from 11:21 on November 0st to help watch the event in advance, and it is planned to be launched on Christmas Day.

On the countdown, 33 days.

In other words, theoretically, if 3300 million people are required to participate in the assistance, "Forward with Weights" can be launched directly on the 21st.

Of course, because the two online platforms launched "Forward with a Load" together, the activity to help watch "Forward with a Load" in advance was also launched by the two platforms together, so the demand for this number of people can be halved.

Although he knew that this was all a routine, the enthusiasm of the netizens couldn't be resisted.

The result is exaggerated.

On November 11st, even a single day passed, the number of people assisted exceeded 21 million.

Of course, this does not necessarily mean that the people who helped these people have expectations for this short film, and many people may simply join in the fun.

But such enthusiasm still makes countless people jealous.

From the perspective of the platform, considering the overlap of users of the two platforms, even if there are more than [-] million people, it is still terrifying.

After all, short films with more than [-] million views are not released in a year, and many short films with millions of views are already considered small hits.

And this short video has not yet been launched, and there are more than ten million users to help.

Just two words: exaggeration!
