Chapter 2 National College Student Campus Micro Film Competition
Wang Xu asked, and neither of his best friends had heard of who Zhou Xingxing was, which made him feel like he was hit by happiness.
How boring is the entertainment industry without Zhou Xingxing?
Thanks to Buddha, thanks to Virgin Mary, is this a man who is destined to make him Wang Xu the king of comedy? If it weren't for his nervous performance today, Wang Xu would like to stand up and yell.
After a while, he gradually calmed down. He studied broadcasting and hosting major, but he never thought of becoming a host. His ideal was to be an actor. So a year later, when he saw the radio operation difficulties, he quit his job and went to Beijing to be an actor.
But three years later, he could only have a close-up of his facial features, occasionally having a dialogue or two. This kind of person is called a special actor, and he can't even be a role. If he hadn't been a part-time screenwriter, it would have been a problem to support himself.
Later he realized that the competition in the interpretation circle was too fierce, and his personality was not suitable for this circle at all. Wang Xu's personality can be accurately described in one word, that is, home.
An otaku who doesn't like social engagements, doesn't like flattery, and lives in his own small space to enjoy himself.
It can be said that Wang Xu is a standard otaku. He cannot lack the Internet in his life. His day is not only work, eating, and sleeping, but also staying in front of the computer, reading novels, playing games. This is true in school, and it is still true after graduation.
Once he had the opportunity to play a supporting role. A deputy director of the crew saw that he had a good image and asked him to play an urban white-collar worker with a name and a line. He made an appointment to meet at 9 a.m., but he played in front of the computer until late at night. He woke up at noon the next day and remembered that there was such a thing, and later this matter was blew up.
He also knew that he was a little decadent, but it was difficult to change his personality if he wanted to change, so he finally chose to go back to his hometown to open a small restaurant and live his life.
After returning to his hometown, he often climbed to the back mountain alone and stared blankly, but he still didn't let go of his ideals.
Unexpectedly, the plot in the novel happened to him, and life could be restarted like a game. Life came again, his ideals did not change, and he still wanted to be an actor. He fantasized that one day his movies would be seen by billions of viewers, and fantasized that there were thousands of people calling his names, cheering for him, and applauding for him...
After getting off the ground, Wang Xu felt that his mind was disordered. What he was thinking about now was what he wanted to do? In fact, do you still need to think about it? He took a pen and wrote five big words on the paper: "I never expected it."
"I Never Expected" appeared in 2013 and became popular on the Internet. At that time, he still remembered a few old classmates who made fun of his name. Who called him the nickname "Daqiao" and "Daqiao in the play" with the same name?
There are many ways to enter the actor industry. You can choose to be an extra, you can choose to apply for an art school, or you can pass talent shows, etc. Wang Xu's choice is to accumulate reputation through the online short drama "I never expected" and quickly enter the interpretation circle. This is the lowest cost and the highest efficiency.
As long as you become famous, where can there be no movies? The first season of "I Never Expected" has a total of more than 730 million views on Youku's Internet, and the second season has 690 million times. In 2014, the number of netizens in China was 632 million.
I can say an exaggeration: If any netizen hasn’t heard of Wang Dachui’s name, then I really have to congratulate him, your family is connected to the Internet.
Compared with such huge returns, the investment cost of this drama is low and the requirements for the actors are not high. At least Wang Xu feels that at his level, there is no problem in playing the protagonist Wang Dahui in the drama.
However, if Wang Xu really wants to shoot this drama, he still faces two major problems: one is capital and two is talented.
He took a pen and calculated on paper that if he wanted to shoot the first season, it would have to be millions. Even if he filmed three episodes first, he would have to spend 100,000 yuan. He can't even get 1,000 yuan now, and there is no difference between 100,000 and 1 million yuan for him.
Even if the money is solved, talent is still needed. Wang Xu knows that the success of "Unexpected" is not accidental. The sparks collide with these geniuses such as "Beast", Bai Ke, Xiao Ai, Zhang Benyu, Liu Xunzimo, Kong Lianshun, etc. are the cornerstones of success.
It is difficult to start with, so we have to solve the problem of funds first. It costs at least 100,000 yuan, but where can we get this money?
Wang Xu casually asked his two best friends: "Mengzi, Monkey asked you a question, who knows where you can earn 100,000 yuan?"
Sun Yuewu was playing games without looking back and said with a smile: "Go to a hotel to be a PR man. His monthly salary is 20,000 yuan. It's enough for five months."
Wang Xu nodded seriously and said, "Thank you, I will think about it seriously."
"Haha!" Wang Xu's cold humor made Zhang Meng smile. He took out a piece of exquisitely printed paper from the drawer and threw it to the sledgehammer and said, "There is 100,000 here, you go!"
Wang Xu took it and his eyes lit up. The words were written on it were "The Third National College Student Campus Microfilm Competition". This competition was hosted by Xiangnan Satellite TV, Youdou.com, Qiyi.com, and 18 higher education institutions including Xiangnan University, Central South University, Xiangnan Normal University. Students from all over the country are welcome to participate actively, and the subject matter is mainly DV, digital and other video works.
In order to ensure fairness and justice of the competition, all entries will be voted by netizens to select the top ten, and then the judges will finally select the top three.
The first place is 100,000 yuan in bonus, the second place is 60,000 yuan in bonus, the third place is 30,000 yuan in bonus, the fourth to tenth place is 10,000 yuan in bonus.
Registration time is from 8 am on March 1, 2010 to 8 pm on March 20, 2010.
When Wang Xu saw that the registration deadline was three days away, he immediately frowned: "Three days is too late!"
There were several campus-themed micro-films in his mind, but it was unlikely to be filmed in three days. What should I do? Wang Dahui's eyes swept around the dormitory, hoping to find inspiration, and suddenly he saw a pack of old sauerkraut noodles on the table.
"Haha, I thought of it."
Wang Xu slapped his thigh and laughed. When he turned around and looked at him, a laugh sounded from the door of the dormitory: "Sadhammer, why are you so happy?"
With a laugh, several classmates from the dormitory next door came in, and the leaders were Mr. Du and Dewey.
Mr. Du is a joke that everyone calls him. This guy is the kind of cleanliness who takes 10 minutes to wash an apple. He is a rich second generation. There is nothing strange about it. The Art School of Normal University is a concentration camp for the rich second generation. There are often luxury cars on campus. What is strange is that Mr. Du broke the iron rule that the rich second generation is a candid.
Dewey is versatile and has one of the best in the class in his professional courses. He also has elected vocal music and directors. In short, this guy is both rich, handsome and talented. He is really a weirdo.
If you want to say that the disadvantage is that you are a little arrogant, but this is not a disadvantage. They are very talented.
"Nothing, you're playing games." Wang Xu said casually. He noticed that Young Master Du was holding a few bags of melon seeds and betel nuts in his hand, and couldn't help asking: "Young Master Du, you are not going to treat you, right?"
"Haha, yes, sledgehammer, madman, don't be polite!"
While speaking, Dewey put a few bags of snacks on the table. Mengzi and Monkey got up and said with a strange smile: "Oh, I said Mr. Du, there is a reason for treating you. Did you harm that junior sister again?"
Dewey smiled and said, "Would you please remove the 'renew'? I'm not kidding anymore. That's right. I'm here to canvass votes. You all know that I have participated in this micro-film competition. I hope to go to Youdou or Qiyi District to vote for me at that time!"
Zhang Meng suddenly realized, "Oh, that's it! Don't worry, we will all vote for you at that time."
Sun Yuewu joked: "Mr. Du, if your work wins an award, remember to treat you!"
"Of course, as long as I enter the top ten, I will invite everyone to dinner. I have to go to other dormitories and leave!"
Dewey smiled and waved goodbye, and went to other dormitories with a few people to canvass the tickets. There was nothing to eat, so Brother San took a pack of food and returned to the computer.
At this time, Wang Xu suddenly said, "Mengzi, monkey, I have something to discuss with you."
Zhang Meng chewed betel nut in his mouth and said vaguely: "What's the matter?"
"I have also prepared a work to participate in this college student campus micro-film competition."
(Please collect it, recommend tickets to protect chrysanthemums.)
