Big names rise

"12 Degrees of Youth" is the product of the tripartite cooperation between Shuimu Forest, China Film Group and Tudou. China Film has brought in a lot of funds for this project, but Shuimu Forest is the main shooter, and Tudou.com is the main broadcaster, so He Mu, Han Sanping and Xiao Fang are the producers of all twelve microfilms.

After the regime change, Tudou.com ushered in a new look. The first online programs, including "Mainland This Week's Box Office List" and "Weekly Entertainment Broadcast", these new programs attracted a lot of traffic, followed by Hulang's online drama testing the waters. After filming five episodes, "20 Years of the Underworld" was put into the weekly broadcast ranks of Tudou.com, and now it has been aired for two weeks and four episodes. The brotherhood born out of the original work, and the manly feelings are deeply loved by the majority of netizens. Especially the Northeast audience likes it very much.Although the actors are only some second- and third-tier actors, they have already gathered quite high popularity on the platform of the Internet. The cumulative hits of the four episodes have exceeded 20 million, which has reached the expectations of the website, and may even give birth to a group of new stars.Now the latter part of the show is being intensively produced. The first season is planned to be [-] episodes, which coincides with the first part of the physical book.

After the online drama, Tudou.com's third micro-movie is about to launch. "12 Degrees of Youth" is planned to start from the end of May until the end of August. It will be shown once a week for three months and 5 weeks. As this As the nominal producer of 8 micro-movies, He Mu knew that he should be the last one to complete them. The other 12 films had already completed post-production, but He Mu hadn’t watched them yet. He was too busy with his own work to distract others. s work.

Xiao Fang stopped He Mu just to ask him if he would like to watch these movies, and then made a broadcast order.He Mu's "First Love Diary" has been confirmed to be the finale, and it will be released last. In addition, they still need to find a strong work to start "12 Degrees of Youth".The first one will come out, and the remaining 10 will be divided into three months according to the strength of quality. Try not to be top-heavy and avoid the front being too boring.

He Mu checked the time. The 11 films only took six to seven hours. He still had time, if he went to the south to shoot "Zi Bu Yu".I'm afraid I really don't have time. It's good to have a look. If there is any room for improvement, it is still timely to bring it up. "Okay, let's find a place to watch."

"Can't we just use this screening room?"

He Mu shook his head, "No, people must watch these micro-films through computers. We also have to watch them on computers to correctly understand the viewers' mood. Projecting them on the screen will definitely have a better effect than on the computer. Less, but in fact, the audience can't see it."

"It makes sense, it's very thoughtful." Xiao Fang praised, so they came to Xiao Fang's office and started watching "Li Lei and Han Meimei" directed by Fang Gangliang on the computer. The name was still very attractive to them .

After watching one by one, every micro-movie is very creative.The director's level is also very good, which guarantees the quality of the micro-movie.Basically, those selected for the 12-degree youth plan are practitioners in the film and television industry, far better than those grassroots film lovers on the Internet. Although not all of these micro-films can make He Mu feel the same, but the directors carefully designed Each little story is worth learning and admiring.

However, after watching ten films, He Mu still feels that it is correct to choose "First Love Diary" as the finale, not to mention the influence of He Mu as the director here, but the design of this storyline and its attempt to arouse a generation of The ambition of people's first love memories is not comparable to the previous works. Maybe He Mu's work is not the best in terms of professional skills, but it is definitely the one with the widest audience and the most resonance.

"Okay, there's one last one left. Let's confirm the broadcast order after watching it." He Mu said, and then clicked on the video file named "Old Boy". The director Xiao Yang, starring Xiao Yang and Wang Taili, they have another The name is "Chopstick Brothers". He Mu has seen their funny video "Memoirs of a Geisha". They are two very talented people.

Xiao Fang also interjected, "These are the two people I told you are younger than you, and they should be quite good."

The film is 42 minutes long and is the longest in the entire series. It tells the story of two middle-aged men participating in a singing talent show similar to "Happy Boys". It is similar to "First Love Diary", but the theme is slightly different.

"Old Boy" talks more about dreams, which is the persistence of people's dreams until middle age. "The Diary of First Love" mainly talks about love, which is the impulse that everyone will have at a certain age and environment.

"Old Boy" also has a description of campus love. Xiao Dabao, Wang Xiaoshuai and many other classmates like the campus belle Hao Fang, but the two leading actors use a relaxed and humorous tone to express this hazy love, not only the secret love plot, In the entire campus part, Xiao Yang used a slightly exaggerated way of expression to perform, which made people burst into laughter. Xiao Fang admired it while watching it, but he didn't expect the filming to be so good.

And this kind of exaggerated and funny way of interpretation is in stark contrast to the cruel reality in another clue. Nothing can be achieved, and the fighting spirit is wiped out by the reality. They give up the two old boys who once dreamed of it. Stimulated by their old classmates, they participated in the singing talent show. During the event, facing people’s strange gazes, they persisted until the end. Xiao Dabao returned to school at the last moment. When he saw those students, he was inspired and created the song for the final competition. He Mu was already looking forward to seeing this This song is gone.

The melody sounded, Wang Xiaoshuai danced, and Xiao Dabao played the guitar and sang softly, "That is the person I miss day and night ~ I love deeply. How should I express it~ Will she accept me?"

Well, it sounds good, He Mu and Xiao Fang looked at each other, nodded at the same time, and continued to listen, "Maybe I will never, tell her that sentence, I am doomed to wander the world, how can I have any concerns...Youth is like a rushing river , I can’t say goodbye if I go and never come back, only the numb me is left, without the blood of the year..."

With the beautiful melody, the thought-provoking lyrics, and the performances of the two main creators, He Mu has entered the song-making situation and gradually fell into it. Has my wish come true, and now I have to pay homage...Life is like a ruthless carving knife, changing our appearance, will it wither before it blooms? I have dreams...Looking up at the sky full of stars, when I accompany My heart, do you still remember the story here, if there is a tomorrow, bless you dear"

When Xiao Dabao and Wang Xiaoshuai were performing on stage, their former classmates were now middle-aged, each facing the pressure of life and the difficulty of work. The ruthless knife of life has completely changed their appearance, making them They have become extremely vicissitudes.

They all had dreams and youth, but youth is like a rushing river, and it’s too late to say goodbye once it’s gone. "is not of the same magnitude at all. People may like to hum "Youth" for a while, but "Old Boy" is definitely a classic that people will remember for a lifetime!

He Mu's mind is now full of the lyrics and melody of "Old Boy".

When the song ended and the movie was not over, He Mu closed his eyes, the circles under his eyes were reddish. This song reminded him of the days when he worked hard for his dream in Hengdian five years ago. If he hadn’t met Tao Quduo and Xiao Let it go, maybe he will also "let the years dry up his ideals, and he will never find the real me again". Think about it, if he can't film and show his acting skills, his destination can only be with pork in his own meat factory. Being hacked into a little old man by life's butcher's knife, and even losing the ability to dream, it's scary to think about it.

Not only He Mu was moved by this song and this story, but even Xiao Fang's eyes were a little wet. He said that he thought of his comrades in arms. The days in the army were the days when he was reborn, and it was also his most emotional period. Years, unfortunately, except for He Zao, the rest of the comrades have lost contact due to the inconvenience of contacting from all over the country. I don't know how they are doing now, whether they miss themselves like he thinks of them.

The story of "Old Boy" itself is already excellent, and with the addition of the song "Old Boy", the whole story has been sublimated, even He Mu has to look up to this 42-minute short story, he believes in this movie It is the most eye-catching one in the "12 Degrees Youth Series Micro Films".

"Brother Fang, I think the order of broadcasting should be adjusted."

"We don't seem to have determined the order yet." Xiao said slowly.

"What I mean is, let "Diary of First Love" be the first, and "Old Boy" be the finale." He Mu rubbed his eyes, he didn't look at Xiao Fang, and Xiao Fang didn't dare to look at him, the two big men were a little embarrassed , They are all from tough guys, what happened today.

Although "Old Boy" made Xiao Fang very moved, He Mu's decision was a bit unexpected. You must know that the biggest selling point of "12 Degrees of Youth" is He Mu and his debut micro-movie. Many people pay attention to this The project is also due to the participation of He Mu as a director. His directorial work will be the biggest surprise of this series, so it was decided to end with "First Love Diary" from the beginning, so as to attract the most viewers, and it is also a reflection of his status. Respect, it seems that Zhao Benshan always appeared at the finale of the Spring Festival Gala, and now he is the only one who can hold back.

"It's a bit risky to let an unknown director be the finale." Xiao Fang was a little apprehensive.

He Mu insisted, "If you put "Old Boy" first, people will be more and more disappointed. If there is no work that surpasses it in the end, then this series will go downhill. It’s a failure, but in reverse, it’s different...” (To be continued..)
