Chapter 59 The Six-Minute Microfilm

Several major video sites in China have always come and gone, competing for users and traffic.

There is a self-made variety show over there, and the others will catch up immediately.

Involution can be said to be quite serious.

After all, no one can stand the ebb and flow.

The Penguin Cup Microfilm Contest organized by Penguin Video is not the first of its kind.

Because, the Penguin Cup Micro Film Contest is the first this year, while the cool cat video next door is already the fourth.

And because Kumao is the first video website in China to develop the concept of micro-movies, it will naturally carry forward the concept of micro-movies.

He has attracted many "direct descendants" micro film directors.

And these micro-movie directors, many of them stand out, successfully through the platform of Kumao Video, and through the micro-film competition, they have entered either the online film circle or the mainstream film circle.

Therefore, when Kumao organizes a micro-movie contest, and invites them, how many of these people will still join in.

Compared with Kumao Video and other major video sites, although Penguin Video relies on Penguin Group, its establishment time is too short after all.

In this regard, the shortcomings are very obvious.

Although there is a lot of investment, most of them are used to purchase copyrights of various film and television works.

For this year's microfilm competition, Penguin Video also wants to invite some famous directors to lead works to attract traffic and increase influence.

But the results were not as expected.

After all, many really big directors, Penguin Films must not be invited. It is not a question of money or not, but a question of compulsion.

In fact, Kumao can't invite those real big directors to make any micro movies.

But the strength of Kumao is that it is not the first time they have held this kind of competition.

For this reason, although Penguin Video has organized the Penguin Cup micro-film competition for more than half a month, but whether it is influential or attracting traffic, it is basically crushed by the Kumao micro-film competition organized by Kumao!

As for Penguin Video, the works of those "famous directors" released out of desperation turned out to be all "commercials"!
For this reason, the goal was not achieved, and instead, many netizens complained about it. Penguin Video's so-called famous director's work screening was completely "commercial film screening"!
Therefore, the works that signed up for the competition were also affected, and some of the better works went to Kumao instead.

This made Yan Wenwei very anxious.

After all, so many resources have been invested, but there are only three or two kittens in the end, so this so-called first session may also become the last one.

Yan Wenwei is also under a lot of pressure.

But he really didn't have many cards in his hand.

If it goes on like this, it can be said that the first Penguin Cup Micro Film Contest will become a laughing stock.

In fact, another reason for such a result is that it was Yan Wenwei's first time to engage in such a project, and his preparations were not sufficient.

I thought that relying on the volume and resources of Penguin Video, I am not afraid that no one will come.

But in the end, he was given a severe blow in the head. Someone came, but the quality of the people who came was really incomparable to that of Kumao.

There is traffic, but it is useless, because the same works of famous artists are shown, and Kumao has produced a few very good hits. Although it is not to the extent that it is popular all over the Internet, at least, in terms of quality, they are real. Micro-movies, not commercials like Penguin Video's well-known director's works.

It’s not that short commercials don’t have excellent content. The problem is that at this stage, the so-called domestic commercials are completely incomparable with those real foreign commercials.

Another one is that the temperament is obviously not suitable for the micro film competition.

And once it is labeled as an advertisement, it will naturally allow the audience to automatically put on a filter when they watch it.

"What's the situation with Director Li Yi? When will the film be made?" Yan Wenwei urged An Xiaojuan for the third time.

An Xiaojuan was also very helpless. During this period of time, she had called there frequently, but Li Yi didn't only make micro-movies, he was still making the movie "Mom Loves Me Again", so naturally he wouldn't Because Penguin Video is in a hurry, we shoot short films first and then movies, which is putting the cart before the horse.

"Li Wen from Penguin Entertainment has been watching. He started shooting that short film last week. I'll call and ask." An Xiaojuan also knows why Yan Wenwei is so eager. It's really because, recently, the company There are already many voices dissatisfied with Yan Wenwei internally.

In fact, to put it bluntly, at this stage, it is almost impossible to surpass Kumao Video in this kind of micro-movie competition, but if there is a hit, then even if you lose, it will not be so ugly.

And Li Yi's short film became Yan Wenwei's last straw.

Soon An Xiaojuan called Li Wen, who was stationed in Li Yi's crew.

After hanging up the phone, An Xiaojuan said happily: "Good news, the short film was completed yesterday, but we will do the final finishing touches. Li Wen said that if there are no accidents, it will be sent tonight. .”

"Okay! I hope this short film directed by Li Yi can make a difference! Hey, it's still too hasty!" Yan Wenwei first applauded loudly, but then sighed.

The waiting time is excruciating.

Yan Wenwei couldn't help but refresh his mailbox every once in a while.

Compared with movies, micro movies don't need to be kept secret so much, so Li Yi promised before that once the movie is finished, it will be mailed directly to Yan Wenwei.

until five in the afternoon.

Yan Wenwei finally saw the new email that appeared in the email after a long absence.

It was the email of the short film from Li Yi.

Yan Wenwei downloaded it immediately. Fortunately, as a video website, the company's network speed is very fast.

Soon, Yan Wenwei downloaded the file.

He couldn't wait to open it.

Just looking at the timeline, it was only about six minutes, and Yan Wenwei felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.

Although the micro-movies did not say that there are any regulations on the length of the film, most of the micro-movies, since they are movies, even if they have a "micro" prefix, most of the common micro-movies are longer than ten minutes. .

Except, of course, those short commercials.

The reason why commercial short films have never been considered as micro-movies is because commercial short films are usually not long.

After all, commercials are commercials first, and then everything else.

However, Yan Wenwei began to watch patiently.

At the beginning, Yan Wenwei didn't have any deep feelings, but felt that the quality of the picture was good, and it was worthy of being a short film directly filmed.

Other than that, he didn't think it was anything special.

But gradually, Yan Wenwei didn't know why, but felt a little panicked in his heart.

When he saw the end, even Yan Wenwei, who thought he would not be easily touched, couldn't help but have red eyes.

Especially when the little girl finally said that sentence, the thick defensive wall in his heart collapsed directly.
