City: Become a principal from junior college!

Chapter 387 Let’s have a head-on confrontation!

For netizens.

After learning that the students majoring in Xingchen Film and Television were only making short videos, they no longer had any doubts and could understand.

After all, they are just a group of freshmen who have only been taking classes for one semester.

Just letting them suddenly make a TV series and movie, even if they are Xingchen students, seems a bit too serious.

But it’s a short video?

That's fine.

In this hot trend of short videos, you can make short videos without even going to school.

It’s perfectly normal for students to choose to shoot this for practice.

Everyone is even a little curious and a little expectant.

What does it look like to shoot a TV series in the form of a short video?

The short videos are so short, only two or three minutes per episode.

If I have to say it, although Xingchen Students are not famous students, they are famous in TV series every day.

Finally, it involves the schools behind each other.

The trend on the Internet changed instantly.

And if it costs two million to shoot a short video, it can definitely be considered a big production.

All kinds of entertainment self-media have come to an end one after another.

If you go to Beijing to film a movie-within-a-movie, you can make a big production, go to satellite TV, and even be nominated for various awards. In the future, you are expected to get the honor of a film and television actress.

No one can even think of it.

Because the film and television major at Xingchen College is only the first class, and students have been there for less than half a year and are not yet suitable for filming TV series and movies. ,

I think this comparison is meaningless.

"Facts have proved that in the film and television industry, a field that requires knowledge, even the Star Academy has to be defeated by these academies! 》

"Professional acting students should not get involved in the field of crude short videos!" 》

"A detailed analysis of the life plans of Shu Xin and Zhao Maimai. One of them may become an actress before graduation, but the other has no one to care about. They have to rely on short videos to gain popularity!" 》

Even the child star Zhao Maimai, who was well-known to the audience in the past, was in a situation where he had nothing to film after attending Star Academy.

If so, that would be quite interesting.

Is it possible that Xingchen Student is going to shoot something like "Unexpectedly"?

In the field of film and television.

And what about going to Star Academy?

Star Academy, which seems to have unlimited glory, cannot bring many resources to any students majoring in film and television.

Beijing Film Academy is the boss.

If college students want to practice, they can easily get 2 million in support.

Along with the fermentation of related film and television entertainment circles.

"A detailed explanation of the cost of filming dramas in the entertainment industry, let everyone know what kind of bad dramas can only be produced with two million!" 》

"Two million and eighty million, short videos and dramas, the child stars who once competed with each other have completely decided the winner!" 》

But everyone is particularly looking forward to whether Xingchen students can come up with something new...

This treatment is already quite top-notch!

These marketing accounts use various comparisons to tell the audience.

But overall, on average, the attitude toward students is much better than that of older colleges.

Overall very positive.

Secondly, this short play is also a practice production for the students.

What kind of short video would cost two million to shoot?

"..."

Except for a few students from Beijing Film Academy, how can other ordinary students get such treatment?

Therefore, related discussions are noisy and very popular.

But soon.

From the scale of the work, to the amount of investment, to the current popularity, status, and resources.

The future is boundless.

"The former top-notch child star, because he chose the wrong college, now has no drama to film, and is reduced to making short videos to become an internet celebrity!" 》

In an instant, the Internet was filled with all kinds of marketing promotions.

Look at this overwhelming marketing push.

Not to mention that Star Academy still has many big IPs in its hands.

Although netizens still have doubts about the professional level of students who have only taken classes for one semester.

Although there are many netizens who can see the situation clearly.

In the future, as long as the filming is not bad, the Sleeping Immortal series alone will be able to win the hearts of students.

Isn't it much better than Shu Xin who pushed hard?

However, only a few netizens can understand this.

Most netizens follow the trend and are guided by a large number of marketing accounts.

A large number of netizens also feel that other majors at Xingchen College may be great, but the film and television major really cannot compare with the established majors.

And the development of students is far inferior to that of older colleges.

"The palace drama played by Shu Xin is said to have invested 80 million, which indeed completely crushed the 2 million from Star Academy."

"Our Shu Xin's TV series is broadcast on satellite TV and video platforms, and those are big platforms! And what about the short videos shot by Xingchen students? They can only be played on short video platforms."

"The production level is definitely not at the same level. It has a great director and great screenwriter, and the supporting actor is also the most popular male star in the past two years. It is an insult to compare Shu Xin's drama to a short play."

"Why do you feel that Zhao Maimai is touching Shu Xin?"

"Originally, I planned to let my daughter go to Xingchen Academy, but now it seems that it is more appropriate to take the Beijing Film Academy!"

"Indeed, if you want to be a star, Beijing Film and Television Theater looks more promising."

"If you put it this way, it seems that Xingchen Academy does not have top-notch majors in all majors!"

……

Under the powerful marketing, public opinion on the Internet is basically one-sided.

Netizens who were shocked by the design renderings of Xingchen Yipin not long ago and thought that Xingchen College can be top-notch in all majors have other opinions.

Star Academy doesn’t seem to be that omnipotent.

At least when it comes to film and television majors, it seems that the established universities are more powerful.

The students of Star Academy are undoubtedly surfing experts.

They had already seen the trending search when it first came out.

Seeing the overwhelming ridicule on the Internet, the film and television majors were particularly unhappy.

It's endless, right?

You have to catch a sheep to collect the wool, right?

We are just idle and bored, and if we suddenly get the idea to shoot a short play, you have to pull us out and step on us, right?

After this wave of operations, let alone the energetic students, they were a little intolerable.

Even Zhao Maimai, who had become indifferent to this kind of bullying, felt angry in his heart.

After class that afternoon.

The main members who filmed "The Black Lotus Master's Manual" were all together.

"What they said is too much. Mai Mai is just playing a short play with us. How come he is reduced to making short plays?"

"The development of the two of them is so different. It's hilarious. The Chinese New Year drama was so bad that I couldn't even watch it, okay?"

"They're not just dragging Zhao Maimai this time, they're dragging our entire major and the entire college with them."

"They also use our popularity to promote their bad drama."

"I can't bear it, I really can't bear it!"

The students were a little angry, but also a little helpless.

After all, they have already competed fiercely online.

Although college students’ online strength is not weak.

But compared to the professional navy, the combat effectiveness of the two sides is not at the same level.

They can't make any splash on the Internet.

As the main party involved, Zhao Maimai was filled with anger.

She thought carefully for a long time and then said: "Since we can't resist in terms of public opinion, we might as well choose to accept it."

"Aren't they taking this opportunity to promote their new drama? Then let's not waste this kind of heat."

"Their new drama will be released in 20 days, and we feel that it will be almost completed by then."

"In this case, we will go online on the same day as them and let our works speak for themselves."

"With this wave of popularity, our short drama will also gain huge attention, and the income may be higher. At least we can earn back the funds allocated to us by the academy."

Zhao Maimai is a former insider.

He knows best the ability of the entertainment industry to control public opinion.

That's really powerful.

Let alone their group of students, even if the academy were to fight in person, they might not be able to win against opponents who control countless naval forces.

Since we can't beat him, we might as well take advantage of this opportunity to expand our own interests.

At least help the college earn back the money it invested.

What if the reputation of his own short drama is higher than that of the other party in the future?

That's a real slap in the face.

Even if the slap in the face fails, you can still look forward to the future.

Wait for them to study for another year or two.

The academy will definitely prepare official film and television works for them, and they can take revenge in the future.

Hearing this, the students were a little surprised.

Adjust your own short drama to be released on the same day as the other party's, tit for tat?

Is this too strong?

To be honest, many students are a little unsure.

A classmate said hesitantly: "The other party is a real big production with a total investment of 80 million. How can we be better than the other party in terms of reputation and popularity?"

"Indeed, the other party's screenwriter is also a senior screenwriter."

"And the director, who is a famous TV director."

"It feels like if we go online on the same day as the other party, all aspects of data will be crushed, and we will be embarrassed even more."

Although the students really enjoyed the short play they were filming.

They also all found the plot interesting. Have more confidence in myself.

But no matter how interesting it is, it is still a short drama.

Compared with regular film and television dramas, the congenital conditions are much different.

And the other party’s production lineup.

Comparing it with a group of students here, it seems that the other group is like a heavenly group.

There are gaps in all aspects.

This direct head-to-head confrontation feels like giving the other party a slap in the face.

However, not all students think this way.

Several students' eyes lit up after hearing Zhao Maimai's words.

A student in the publicity class clapped his hands in agreement: "What Mai Mai said makes sense. The popularity is in front of us. Whether it is support or belittlement, it will bring us attention."

"If we take the initiative to participate, more netizens will definitely remember us and watch our short dramas in the future. Even if only 1% of the people attracted in this way are converted into paying users, for us It’s also a good thing.”

Immediately afterwards, a student from the screenwriting class also said confidently: "Although we are in a short play, we are not necessarily inferior to each other in terms of plot, and we even have our own advantages."

"Nowadays, palace fighting dramas basically have a template. The protagonist Bai Lianhua is soft and weak. She is framed and bullied all the way to grow up. The audience should not watch too much, and they often suffer from brain hemorrhage due to those framed plots."

"But our script is contrary to the routine. The protagonist looks like a white lotus but is actually a black lotus. He digs holes for his opponents in various ways. He takes revenge overnight. The main theme is a happy character."

"This is just like comedy movies being the hottest category."

"Most viewers actually don't like heart-wrenching plots. They prefer simple and exciting ones."

"We can definitely attract this group of users."

"Not to mention our anti-conventional character design, which will definitely give the audience a refreshing feeling!"

The students in the filming and editing class also agreed: "And it's different from the other party's update of two episodes."

"We updated one short drama in one go."

"The other party has played two episodes. Maybe the plot has not gotten to the point and is still laying the groundwork."

"And we've just finished it."

"In this case, at least with the heat in the first three days, we may not lose."

"And as long as we can win based on the popularity of the first three days, we won't lose. After all, the hardware gap between the two sides is so big, but we won for three days, which in itself is a slap in the face."

……

"That's right, that's right. I don't think we will necessarily lose. After all, everyone can see how bad Shu Xin's acting skills are, and our Mai Mai's acting skills are way ahead of hers."

"The other party's investment of 80 million seems scary, but so many traffic stars may have spent tens of millions. Plus the cost of marketing and hiring trolls, it's really not sure how much money can actually be used for filming. .”

"That's right, we also invited a teacher to play the emperor. The emperor played by the teacher was really domineering. Sitting there, it actually gave me the feeling of being an emperor. It made me tremble a little. When the audience sees it, they will definitely I’ll be shocked too.”

"..."

As more and more students spoke.

Most of the students who were originally silent at the scene showed thoughtful expressions.

What the students said seems to make sense.

Although the opponent looks very powerful, he completely crushes his own skit.

But if you think about it carefully, your own short drama has many advantages.

Excellent and refreshing plot, fast-paced short drama mode, excellent acting skills, and well-tested and beautiful costumes.

There are even teachers with ridiculously superb acting skills joining for free.

No male student could play the role of an emperor in his forties.

So I hired the teacher directly.

There are also some older characters, basically including teachers as guest appearances.

The only pity is that the principal was not invited.

Otherwise, if the principal is willing to play the emperor, the popularity and attention will definitely explode.

……

In short, after thinking clearly about the advantages of my own short drama.

The confidence of many students has been rekindled.

It seems that I can really touch it!

Win and earn blood.

The other party was disgraced.

Even if you lose, it won't be a loss. At least you can get more attention and make more money to repay the college.

So soon, Zhao Maimai's proposal was unanimously agreed by all the students.

The students quickly made a plan and sent it to the teacher.

The teacher was in the principal's office at the moment. After reading the students' plans, he forwarded them directly to Ye Chen.

After reading it, Ye Chen's eyes lit up.

Both of them were very satisfied with the students' decision.

This overwhelming online public opinion.

Ye Chen naturally also noticed.

The ability of these film and television entertainment circles to control public opinion is indeed very strong.

But Ye Chen really didn't pay much attention.

After all, the money is in hand.

Although Qian's ability is not truly omnipotent, it can definitely be done easily by such a small thing as changing the direction of public opinion.

However, Ye Chen did not intend to end up supporting the students.

Instead, after discussing with the teacher, I planned to take the opportunity to exercise the students' ability to withstand stress.

After all, it is true that stars in the film and television industry earn a lot, but it is also normal to have high pressure from online public opinion.

As students will enter the film and television industry in the future, various behaviors will inevitably be amplified by public opinion.

As long as some trolls want to hack you, no matter how good you are, they will still find ways to hack you.

Being hacked and attacked.

Basically, it is an encounter that all actors cannot avoid.

Some actors will suffer from depression or even quit acting.

Therefore, Ye Chen believes that since it is unavoidable, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity now that the college has taken cover and let the students feel the pressure of public opinion.

If something goes wrong, the college will promptly intervene in spiritual counseling.

In this way, when students face possible public attacks in the future, they will be able to face it more easily because they have already experienced it once.

But what Ye Chen didn't expect was.

The mentality of my own students is so good.

Not only was the overwhelming ridicule and public opinion not affecting the filming progress of the short drama.

Or even give up because of it.

Instead, he chose hard steel and used the opponent's attacks to divert traffic, thereby increasing the popularity of the work.

Something...

Anyway, Ye Chen liked the attitude of the students very much.

I prefer students’ flexible thinking.

Since you can't resist, then choose to enjoy it.

Thus turning crisis into benefit.

“The performance of the film and television major students was really great, which surprised me.”

"As expected of the major I value most!"

Ye Chen spoke with great approval.

On the side, Mr. Zhou, the director of the film and television major, smiled sincerely when he heard this.

He didn't expect that the principal would attach so much importance to his film and television major.

He actually said directly that it was the major he valued most.

This was a complete surprise.

With the principal's attention, students will surely receive a large amount of resource support and take off directly in the future.

This is a great thing for all film and television students.

Ye Chen thought about it and continued: "Since the students have this idea, then of course we have to support it..."

"First of all, since we have to compete head-on, it's best to win, so as to help students build confidence."

"The opponent is a big production, so it may be a bit difficult to win a big victory."

"But there is a big size gap between the two sides, so a small victory can still count as a victory."

"Then I would like to ask the film and television teachers to pay more attention to the students' short play projects and help them improve their quality."

"Secondly, the course arrangements during this period can also be adjusted to try to allow students more time to complete the project and go online at the same time as the other students!"

"I will also say hello to Douyin and ask the other party to come out and warm up in advance."

Ye Chen is actually looking forward to the students' works.

After all, this is the first serious short video TV series.

Secondly, there is the support of the giant Douyin.

This brand new model might actually be able to create some different results.

And this group of entertainment industry bullies their own students.

If the students can't find their way back on their own.

As the principal, I will definitely find a place for the students when the time comes.

It's nothing more than morning and evening.

Upon hearing this, Teacher Zhou also nodded immediately.

All of a sudden, the short play project that was originally just for fun came to life.

On the contrary, due to the opponent's pressure, the importance quickly increased...
