tearjerker director

Chapter 58 It's better to be late than to be in time

Here we will talk about the positioning of micro-movies.

When micro-movies first appeared, they were indeed very popular, and indeed many well-known directors would also participate in them.

But with the passing of this enthusiasm, the positioning of micro-movies is a bit embarrassing now.

It can be said that there are basically few directors who can make big movies who can make micro movies. Without him, their identities do not match.

One more thing, this so-called demonstration work is actually quite tasteless to many well-known directors.

Moreover, it is a matter of course for a demonstration work to be shot well, but it will be embarrassing if it is not shot well.

Therefore, Penguin Video has invited many directors, but in fact, not many people are willing to accept it.

After all, even if it is a micro-movie, it is still a work, and it takes time and energy to shoot.

With that energy, it's better to tinker with your own theater movies.

Therefore, Penguin Video is also casting a wide net to catch more fish, so that other companies under Penguin Video can also find suitable resources.

Of course, if you find a suitable resource and recommend it, if it is adopted, and a cooperation is reached, it will definitely be beneficial.

This is why Li Wen is excited.

The point is, Li Yi's microfilm, let's say, is ready-made, which is completely different from asking a famous director to make a microfilm.

Zhuo Yixiong didn't intend to get to the bottom of it.

He also felt that this might be a good opportunity.

After all, this short film was supposed to be filmed by Li Yi. After filming, he also needed to find a platform to show it. If he wanted to warm up "Mom Loves Me Again", he also needed to buy some promotional resources. .

However, if we cooperate with Penguin Video's microfilm competition, not only do we not need to find promotional resources, but at the same time, we can replace some Penguin Video's promotional resources.

Zhuo Yixiong immediately felt that something was wrong!
But he definitely can't make a decision on this matter.

"I can't make a decision on this matter. I'll ask after Director Li finishes filming this scene." Zhuo Yixiong said to Li Wen.

"Thank you Director Zhuo!" Li Wen said quickly.

"Well, Director Zhuo, why don't I report this matter to our editor-in-chief now? When the time comes, let the people from Penguin Video come and talk to Director Li?" Li Wen thought that it would be a long night and dreamy, so he wanted to report it as soon as possible. .

"That's good!" Zhuo Yixiong thought for a while, and felt that this matter, if it is really going to be done, is indeed not something that a small reporter like Li Wen can decide, so it is still necessary to find someone who really has the right to make a decision. nodded.

Penguin Video, the head of the Penguin Cup Micro Film Contest, Yan Wenwei looked at the list in front of him and felt a little headache.

"Commercial short film, commercial short film, and commercial short film again, we are showing the works of famous directors of the micro film competition, not advertising works! Don't tell me that there is nothing else besides these?"

Before the concept of micro-movies appeared, many foreign advertising blockbusters already had such prototypes.

And many domestic manufacturers have also begun to invite some directors to shoot related micro-movie advertising short films.

But Yan Wenwei was very dissatisfied with this, because if all these works were really selected, then the first Penguin Cup Micro Film Contest would be a joke.

Although it is true that many of these short commercials are produced by "famous directors", the key point is that advertisements are always advertisements!

"Director, Wu Junming, Tang Lu, Fang Guolin and other directors, we have contacted them one by one, but they are not interested at all. Either they excuse that there is no schedule, or they directly express that they are not interested. Unless we are willing to pay a lot of money, otherwise After all, even if they shoot movies, they usually shoot big movies, and they seldom specialize in making micro movies, and it's not so good." An Xiaojuan said helplessly.

When it comes to high prices, many people may think, Penguin Video, such a big company spends billions of dollars every year on burning, how can it have no money?
But the fact is that the funds for this project can be said to be a radish and a hole, there is no such budget at all!

The biggest problem with this problem is that these directors, after all, are making cinema movies. If someone happens to have a micro-movie work on hand, it will be easy to handle, but the problem is that such a thing does not exist at all.

At this moment, An Xiaojuan's cell phone rang.

"You answer the phone first!" Yan Wenwei waved his hand to let An Xiaojuan answer the phone first.

After answering the phone, An Xiaojuan said to Yan Wenwei with a smile on her face: "Director, the editor-in-chief Yu from Penguin Entertainment told me just now that director Li Yi is the director of "The Gift in Room No. [-]" and is filming "Mom Again." "Love Me Once" movie, and they had a reporter who went to visit the set, and accidentally got a piece of news. This director Li Yi, something happened to the crew, which gave him the inspiration for a short film, which will be filmed soon "

"Li Yi? Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and get in touch!" Yan Wenwei said urgently when he heard the words.

"Then, the conditions of cooperation." An Xiaojuan asked after hesitating for a while.

"Isn't he filming "Mom Loves Me Again"? As long as he is willing to hand over the microfilm to our platform, then we can exchange some promotional resources for him." Yan Wenwei thought for a while and said.

It is indeed impossible to pay a lot of money, but in terms of resources, it can be tilted a little bit.

Although Li Yi's reputation is not as good as Wu Junming's directors, he is also a well-known young director.

It is also qualified to be called a famous director.

He is a short general, and one more thing, Yan Wenwei has a lot of ambitions for the Penguin Cup Micro Film Competition, so it can be regarded as a thousand dollars to buy horse bones.

He was already thinking that when the time came, more resources would be given to push Li Yi's short film hard.

Let those big directors also see the benefits of cooperation.

When the effect comes out, then when the Penguin Cup Micro Film Contest is held again, it will be smoother in the future.

On the other side, Li Yi was a little surprised after hearing Li Wen's introduction.

What Li Yi didn't expect was that Penguin Video seemed to attach great importance to his short film, and sent someone over to negotiate the next day.

The negotiation process was very smooth.

First of all, Li Yi's short film was originally an accidental product. He must find a platform to broadcast it after he shot it. Now that he can use this short film, Penguin Video will actively help promote it without spending money, and even replaced some of his own. Naturally, he would not reject such a good thing as the promotional resources of the movie.

As for Penguin Video, they just needed a lot of money to buy horse bones, and they just needed Li Yi's short film to show other directors.

The two sides can be said to hit it off.

It can only be said that it is really better to catch up sooner than later!
