Chapter 395: The hammer won’t move, it won’t move at all! (asking for monthly ticket)
Although Li Youzhi will intermittently inflate his ego, in fact, Brother Zhi has always been a stable one in big things!
This time "Cast Away" is different from Zhi Ge's previous two films.
For example, "Super Hero" was co-produced with Rong Film, and "Dear" was co-produced with Qiang Sheng Film.
These established film and television companies all have their own distribution channels and theater resources. These things... Li Youzhi does not have, which is the shortcoming of his rapid development and unstable foundation.
But is this a problem?
Not really!
According to Article 6 of the "Code of Love"; there is no perfect lover in this world, and every individual has his or her own strengths and weaknesses. If you want to win the attention of your romantic partner, the most important thing is not to let them see how perfect you are, but to let them remember the shining points in you.
If you want to succeed, you can't look at your shortcomings every day, but put your strengths into play all the time!
For example, if you are 1.65m tall and 185mm tall, can you help a goddess change a light bulb or give her a badminton on the unit door?
cannot!
What you have to do is either take her to the swimming pool and teach her backstroke, or repair her bicycle and perform a wheel spin on the spot - you must learn to maximize your advantages!
This applies equally to work and life.
For example, you are a 35-year-old programmer, and now the company's vice president wants to promote a team leader. One of your competitors is a 26-year-old energetic guy and a pretty girl. What should you do at this time?
Give up the childish idea of competing for energy with 26-year-olds and comparing affinity with pretty girls, and go fishing with the 40-year-old company vice president every weekend!
As for Li Youzhi, this time "Cast Away" he didn't even think about taking it to theaters, but planned to take it online.
With the current resources of Heguang Culture, the theater chain will definitely share a portion of its profits with its co-distributors.
The distribution commission is ten points, and another 20 to 30 million is invested in publicity and distribution expenses. Taking into account theaters and taxes, the total box office share is about 60%, as well as the long cycle of each link...
Rather than expending so much effort on box office, it is better to use your influence on the Internet to prove your business potential with Heguang Culture...and then go get Party A's father's money!
What kind of skill is it to pay back the money of the wealthy gentry in full and divide the common people's money into 30-70?
The common people's money is returned in full, and the wealthy gentry keeps all their money in their pockets. This is a real man!
Early in the morning, around six o'clock.
Li Youzhi, who had stayed up all night after sorting out all the materials for "Cast Away", took a long stretch.
Seeing that he had stayed up all night, Li Youzhi rubbed his slightly swollen temples and picked up his mobile phone.
Although a whole night has passed, Weibo is still not calm.
After glancing at the comment section of his Weibo, Li Youzhi let out a long yawn.
Just when he was about to go back to bed to catch up on his sleep, and then set off back to Chengdu with Liu Meng and others, the screen of his mobile phone that he had placed on the table suddenly lit up.
[Classmate Xiaozhi, I just saw the news that you decided to put the film "Cast Away" on Douishou for free. I never thought that with the current popularity of movies being so popular, you would choose such a delivery method that is most beneficial to our company. As a brand owner, I can’t thank you enough!
Be sure to call back after you get up. We still have several advertising projects here. What our boss means is that the good news should not go to outsiders. In addition, we couldn’t participate in the closing banquet yesterday. Whatever we say today, we have to do our part as landlords and entertain you and the classmates of the film crew!]
Li Youzhi grinned happily when he saw the message Miao Zheng sent early in the morning.
Look at Party A...it's been completely conquered by Brother Zhi!
I wasn’t picked on by Party A in every possible way, had my plan revised dozens or hundreds of times, made things difficult, exploited, or criticized... After the completion of the project, Brother Zhi still didn’t have much sense of accomplishment...
After giving Miao Zheng a smile, Li Youzhi dove into the big bed.
Why,
This is Party B's fault, so it's really boring.
Broken sleep!
…
I stayed in Shencheng for another day, got a commercial film production project worth more than 7 million from Miao Zheng, and had a meal with Wang Jun, CEP of Shunfeng, to fully communicate with each other...
Li Youzhi, who had been wandering outside for more than a month, finally returned to Chengdu with a group of friends like Guang Tongchen on a chartered flight arranged by Shunfeng.
When we came out, it was very cold in spring in Chengdu, but when we came back, it was already warm and the flowers were blooming.
However, Li Youzhi was not interested in enjoying Spring in Chengdu. After returning to school, he plunged into Heguang Digital Studio and started the post-editing work such as the soundtrack and dubbing of "Cast Away".
It took more than a week to complete all the post-production work of "Cast Away", and then submitted the film for review and obtained the broadcast permission.
It wasn't until the last day of April that Li Youzhi, who was so busy criticizing others, finally calmed down.
May 1st is the first day of the Labor Day holiday.
After a long sleep, Li Youzhi opened his eyes. It was already past nine o'clock.
After rubbing his cheeks that were scratched and numb by the pillow, Li Youzhi took out his mobile phone from under the bed like a monkey fishing for the moon.
beep,
[Father, I haven’t gone out for a long time, and I don’t know if the Sichuan hotpot in front of the campus is spicy? Let’s make an appointment on the first day of May Day, right? You pay and I pay with my life, and father and son drink together and become insane! 】
Seeing the WeChat message Liu Meng sent in the morning, Li Youzhi directly swiped it away.
You are full of smooth talk, you really want to marry Zhou Shuyi?
Today is the day when the King of Heaven is here, and Brother Zhi has to stay in the dormitory all day!
Ding dong,
Just when Li Youzhi was about to put down his phone and get up, another WeChat message came on the screen.
Seeing that it was from Xu Haonian, notifying him that "Cast Away" would be online at ten o'clock, and asking him to cooperate with shaking hands for live broadcast promotion tonight, Li Youzhi hurriedly sat up from the bed.
Regarding the online announcement of "Cast Away", shaking hands started a week ago.
Now seeing that the premiere time was approaching, Li Youzhi quickly opened his mobile phone and sent the promotional poster for the movie "Cast Away" that he had prepared in advance to his mobile phone.
As the news was sent out, the comment area on the first day of the short holiday immediately became abuzz!
"Mom, it's finally here. The finale of "One Man in the Wild", I've been waiting for almost a month!"
"On the first day of the holiday, the circle of friends was crowded; I was the only one stubbornly staying in front of my phone, waiting for the premiere of "Cast Away". Brother... I support you so much, why don't you give me a kiss?"
"You idiot in front of me, I'm so embarrassed to expose you. Are you supporting this? You're obviously so poor that you can only do it at home for free!"
"Minato, you can't tear yourself apart even if things get tough!"
In the bathroom, Li Youzhi took a toothbrush and stirred it in his mouth, and saw that the number of likes on his post exceeded 50,000 in just a few breaths. Li Youzhi smiled at his mouth full of white foam.
Not bad, not bad, this is the basic version of "Cast Away"!
Just when Li Youzhi was secretly looking forward to a big wave of surprises today, which would completely enhance his temperament attributes that were about to be upgraded, the alarm clock in the bathroom chimed the hour.
Almost at the same time, an official notification from Shakeshou was uploaded to his mobile phone.
After more than a month of preparation and filming, "Cast Away", a collection of Wako Culture and my own efforts... is now online!
"Thank you, little brother, and thank you, Shunfeng Dad!" "Poverty brings us together here!" "Free 4K, awesome!" "The finale of the duel in the wilderness, the competition is high!"
Li Youzhi smacked his lips as he looked at the wall of comments that instantly floated up on the special play page of "Cast Away" that had just been launched.
Yes, although Brother Zhi has not maintained his relationship with Lezi people during this period, poverty... makes them still miss Brother Zhi!
at the same time.
Beijing Film and Television Department Directing Classroom.
"I'm coming!"
Following a shout from Sun Chengnan, a sophomore student in the directing department, the radio and television dragon logo appeared on the large projection screen in the audio-visual classroom.
Looking at the logos of Wako Culture and Wako Digital on the screen, there was a sudden boo in the classroom.
Although May Day lasts only three days this year, it is very easy for a group of students at Beijing Film Academy to have a happy holiday.
The reason why we gathered in the electronic classroom during the May Day holiday was entirely because of the movie "Cast Away" in front of us.
However, unlike netizens, the students of Beijing Film Academy watched "Cast Away" for a very clear purpose, which was to criticize it!
Why?
Because for students in the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, Cheng Kai is not just a top-tier director in China. For the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, this 78th graduate of the directing department is the only alumnus in China who has won the Palme d'Or. More It is a kind of spiritual totem!
"Damn this piece of shit is finally online, after more than a week! Today I want to see what kind of quality this Li Youzhi is!"
"What good can a graduate student from a third-rate film and television school do? I don't need my buddy's professional knowledge to beat the crap out of her today. I got 631 in the college entrance examination for nothing!"
"The person you are talking about is a scumbag who only wants to be famous. He just acts as an internet celebrity. Damn, he came here to join the director circle... I don't know how much he weighs. Look, I won't take off his pants today! "
In the first row of the audio-visual classroom, I heard a burst of cheers from the students. Dong Lingshan, the proud girl of the third grade of Beiying University, was privately discussed by Beiying students and was closest to the top three domestic awards. She also followed suit. corner of mouth.
Her impression of Li Youzhi is indeed not very good.
Perhaps it is a matter of professionalism. She has a kind of resistance and aversion to films directed by other non-directing professionals, especially actors.
What's more... there is also the aspect of Cheng Kai.
"Okay, the movie has started, be quiet."
After scolding several classmates around her, Dong Lingshan leaned back on her chair and opened her notebook.
Seeing Dong Lingshan's posture, a group of future directors also quickly took their seats. They opened their computers or notes one after another and opened the pull-tab mode.
Under the watchful eyes of a group of would-be directors from the country's top film and television universities, the story of "Cast Away" begins;
The electronic classroom with the curtains drawn was dark and quiet. In front of pairs of eyes that flashed with light and shadow, the first thing that appeared on the screen was an express package delivered by the wind.
With the exciting and fast-paced background music, the express delivery was lifted by a big hand and loaded into the carriage. Passed through the intersection along the muddy road and transferred outside the airline.
Seeing this unique opening of the movie, Dong Lingshan frowned and put a ballpoint pen against her curved chin.
The opening shot is always from the perspective of the express delivery, following the inanimate object of the express delivery, and with the constantly moving camera, the customers and the express delivery staff are brought into the picture, showing the entire express delivery and reception process and the environment in which the story takes place.
The sense of urgency reflected in this perspective and lens language... is a bit new.
There are some bright spots at the beginning... Let's call it 70.
Pursing her lips, holding the ballpoint pen and hesitating for a moment, Dong Lingshan wrote a grade above passing on her notebook.
At this time, the image of Li Zhi, the protagonist of "Cast Away", also appeared on the screen as the express arrived;
This is a test engineer from Shunfeng Express, a passionate workaholic who always says "time is ruthless".
He demands "seconds" from himself and his colleagues, and often travels around. As soon as the phone rings, they have to leave immediately, so they all neglect their girlfriend Su Su. Even if the Spring Festival is approaching, after receiving a call from the company, they will drop everything and board the cargo plane heading abroad.
With a slightly noisy soundtrack and a large number of tracking shots, the protagonist Li Zhi's life status and character image have been completely established in just ten minutes.
Electronic classroom.
Looking at Li Zhi boarding the plane in the picture, Dong Lingshan pursed her lips again.
The character development is... just okay.
Although it can’t be said that the character design is outstanding, it is outstanding enough... it can be regarded as... 75 points?
After drawing something on the notebook again, Dong Lingshan raised her head.
At this time, twelve minutes have passed since the start of "Desert Island". The changes in the film... have quietly come.
At high altitude, the cargo plane encountered a thunderstorm and yawed. The protagonist Li Zhi looked at the anxious cabin and got into the bathroom alone.
However, just when he wanted to wash his face with cold water to refresh himself, an unexpected thing happened... The plane that had already deviated accidentally entered a thunderstorm. The plane hit by the thunderstorm lost pressure and began to fall rapidly!
"Xiao Zhi, don't fucking move! Where is your life jacket?!"
"See the sea, see the sea!"
"Prepare for a collision!"
boom!
Seeing the series of shots of the plane crashing into the sea, Dong Lingshan was stunned.
A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.
In fact, this type of accident scenes are not uncommon in other movies.
But the use of footage in the section just now, which only lasted for more than a minute, was exquisite to the extreme!
The number of frames in the scene of the plane crash gradually decreases, showing the plane's state from stable to extremely unstable.
This is just a small detail, but it maximizes the sense of loss of control from the lens language!
Hiss...there's something!
With her eyes fixed on the screen, Dong Lingshan couldn't help but sit upright.
Although she doesn't know the next development of the story of "Cast Away", as a quasi-director, according to her experience, the first act of the movie has been completed.
What follows must be a huge change in the protagonist's status.
According to the title of "Cast Away", the protagonist should be living on a desert island.
Seeing the use of language in a series of shots just now, she was already looking forward to how the main body of the story, the director of this film...well, or that graduate student from a third-rate college, would deal with it.
Her doubts were soon answered.
On the classroom screen, an embarrassed figure was washed up on the shore by the waves.
The cold medium shot is motionless, focusing on the embarrassed figure on the coast and the deserted island beach where he is.
The soundtrack completely disappears at this moment.
The howling sea breeze, the whistling of leaves on tropical islands, and the waves whose frequency is as fixed as the ticking of a clock have become the main theme of this scene.
And underneath this cold lens language and all-natural soundtrack are screams of despair and fear.
"Hey! Is anyone there?"
"Hey! Help!!!"
Sitting in front of that cold picture, the ballpoint pen in Dong Lingshan's hand fell to the ground.
Unlike a normal audience, if viewed from the audience's perspective, this scene simply presents a difficult situation in the main corner.
But in Dong Lingshan's eyes, this seemingly ordinary scene directly penetrated her arrogance from the beginning!
When the plot enters this scene, the camera completely changes to a fixed camera position.
It forms a very strong contrast with the rapid switching of shots in the first act!
How intense is it?
In the first scene, the camera can’t wait to follow the protagonist’s butt!
But in this scene, even when the character walks out of the frame, the camera doesn't follow him.
Together with the completely disappearing soundtrack, the panoramic natural sound, a time-frozen artistic conception, and an indifferent overlooking perspective, they jointly construct a "ruthless" and "cold" lens language.
This kind of lens language vividly reveals the harsh environment of the desert island and the insignificance of the protagonist from a social elite to a survivor after encountering great changes!
At this time, there was silence in the electronic classroom.
Twenty minutes have passed since the movie started, and most of the would-be directors from Beijing Film Academy who were filled with indignation just now have lost their voices.
Not for anything else, just because this movie... is a bit outrageous!
In these twenty minutes, the use of movie lenses is simple to the extreme, but also exquisite to the extreme!
I say simple because there is not a single useless show-off shot in these twenty minutes.
I say exquisite because every shot solidly serves the plot and guides the audience's emotions with textbook precision!
In such silence, Sun Chengnan next to Dong Lingshan scratched his ears.
"Um, Senior Sister Dong, did you find any flaws in the lens? If you find it, can you give me some inspiration? I... didn't find any obvious flaws..."
Her thoughts were disrupted by the scumbag student beside her, and Dong Lingshan silently withdrew her gaze.
Ignoring the junior student next to her, she silently tore out the page she had just graded from the diary and threw it into the trash can under the table.
I'm looking for a der...
Closing the notebook, Dong Lingshan took a deep breath, stood up from her chair and silently walked towards the classroom door.
"Hey? Senior sister, the film is not going to be released? No, I'm still counting on Chaochao's notes to give this grandson of Li Youzhi a hard blow?"
Hearing the puzzled greeting from behind, Dong Lingshan lowered her head and quickened her pace.
It's embarrassing to fail all professional courses!
Just focus on the first two scenes of the movie in the current 20 minutes. After the school starts the film and television lens analysis class, the teacher will definitely have to bring the pull film!
It’s a film that will definitely be included in the teaching materials of Beijing Film Academy’s directing department... Isn’t it time to fight back? !
The hammer won't move, it won't move at all!

Idiot sincerely advises all adoptive fathers not to stay up late, eat less greasy and spicy foods, and not sit for long periods of time!
