Chapter 372 Black Lotus Advancement Manual!

In the entertainment industry, there are countless cases of celebrities hiring water armies to post articles to drag down others.

When a female celebrity attends an event, she will immediately issue more than a dozen notices, saying that she is more beautiful than someone else.

The most compared person in China is Liu Tianxian.

Every female celebrity has to drag down Liu Tianxian several times a year.

There are countless open and secret fights between celebrities.

Male celebrities are no exception.

And since Zhao Maimai entered Xingchen Academy.

Because she is famous but banned by the circle, she has become the favorite target of dragging down by young actresses.

When acting in a TV series, Zhao Maimai is compared.

When attending an event, Zhao Maimai is compared.

Even the number of endorsements has to be compared.

In all aspects, Zhao Maimai is devalued.

Especially the new young actress newly launched by Beijing Film Academy.

It is even more crazy to trample on Zhao Maimai in all directions, harvesting the ecological niche and fans that originally belonged to Zhao Maimai.

Behind this, it is obvious that circles such as Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama are fueling the flames.

It goes without saying that Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama must be trying to prove their ability to create stars.

By banning Zhao Maimai, they show their influence.

Then they create a star who is more popular than Zhao Maimai, thus proving that the entertainment industry is still dominated by people like them.

When Zhao Maimai was in school, she often saw such articles that stepped on her, and even some photos were deliberately photoshopped.

At first, Zhao Maimai would get angry.

But later she got used to it.

Let them be, just treat it as a way to hone herself.

So now, watching the release of a TV series in which a freshman from Beijing Film Academy replaced her, and the Internet ushered in another wave of marketing that stepped on her, Zhao Maimai was not upset.

Let them be.

She just needs to study hard and wait for the college to start filming TV series.

Zhao Maimai is full of confidence in her own college.

Zhao Maimai feels warm in her heart when her friends are angry for her.

Even turned around to comfort his friend: "Okay, don't be angry, it's normal for celebrities in the entertainment industry to do this."

"If you are so easily influenced, then when you become famous in the future, you will be pissed off several times a day when you see those water army posts on the Internet."

The classmate was still dissatisfied: "Humph, anyway, she is not as good as you in everything. I saw people saying online that your acting skills are not as good as hers, and you don't have the temperament to act in costume dramas as hers. It's really funny. She is obviously expressionless, but she has to be blown up into a cold and noble concubine, right?"

"We should shoot a costume drama and slap them in the face."

"Let everyone know what dimensionality reduction strikes!"

"Not all cats and dogs can come to touch our Maimai porcelain."

Zhao Maimai's eyes curved into crescents, and she said softly: "Okay, okay, the teacher said that we should study with peace of mind in the first year of college, and we are not allowed to take leave to go to any crew."

"So let's talk about it later."

"Then we will act in a drama together and slap them in the face."

Zhao Maimai actually enjoys the process of acting.

But now there is no crew outside who will invite me.

The college also strictly prohibits freshmen from taking leave for acting.

So it can only be thought about.

But the friend soon said something that surprised Zhao Maimai: "We definitely don't have time to shoot a serious drama."

"But the students in the screenwriting class recently proposed a very new thing in the group. I think we can try it."

Very new thing?

What is it?

Zhao Maimai was a little curious when he heard it.

Today's film and television industry is either TV series or movies.

What else can be filmed?

The friend hurriedly explained: "When we were watching short videos some time ago, you must have seen the advertisement of the crooked-mouthed dragon king, right?"

When the friend said this, Zhao Maimai immediately reacted.

Some time ago, the promotion of online novels on short video platforms was very popular.

It was just a video. The protagonist started by washing his wife's feet, and then was humiliated by his wife's family and his rivals. In the end, his subordinates suddenly arrived to welcome the dragon king...

In just two minutes of video, the plot was full of twists and turns.

Finally, the male protagonist smiled crookedly and showed his iconic √ expression, which ended abruptly.

Zhao Maimai watched this kind of video at that time and felt that it was too stale...

I was simply powerless to complain.

But it was indeed very attractive.

It made people want to know what would happen next.

If Zhao Maimai didn't dislike reading novels, she would probably click in to take a look.

But when Zhao Maimai went home this time, she saw that her father was reading the Dragon King novel when he had nothing to do. It felt that he probably got into the trap after watching this kind of short video.

But why did the friend bring this up?

Could it be that he was also planning to shoot this kind of silly commercial?

Then what would she play? The heroine who asked the protagonist to wash her feet? This was too shameful.

Zhao Maimai immediately wanted to shake her head to express that she couldn't accept it.

But my friend continued, "My classmates in the screenwriting class said this model is very interesting..."

"Minus all the foreshadowing, just show the audience the climax, one link after another, so as to attract the audience."

"Especially now in the fragmented era, many people no longer watch long videos, and watch TV series and movies entirely rely on short video commentary."

"So they plan to learn from the characteristics of short video ads such as "The Dragon King Arrives" and shoot a drama of this type."

"It is a story that only takes 40 minutes to tell in an episode of only two or three minutes.

"According to the routine of online novels, there are all kinds of things. Yes, they say they are pretending to slap the face, defeating monsters and leveling up, so that the audience will have climaxes one after another, and they will not be able to stop..."

"It will definitely be super awesome."

"That classmate just asked in the group whether any students in the acting class were interested. Everyone thought it was quite interesting."

"By the way, everyone also discussed a name for this kind of drama of ours, and that is called short drama."

The corner of Zhao Maimai's mouth twitched at her best friend's words...

The orgasms come one after another and I can't stop.

What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?

What do the male students in the screenwriting class think about every day?

However, what her best friend said made Zhao Maimai look thoughtful.

Condensing the content of an episode of a TV series into a few minutes?

This sounds quite interesting.

Zhao Maimai has been a child star and knows the TV drama industry very well.

Because the copyright price of a TV series is linked to the number of episodes and the total duration.

Therefore, there are often crews who spend all kinds of time in order to make more money.

There are countless comments from netizens complaining that the TV series is too watery.

It is also true that the pace of the TV series is too slow, which makes the audience impatient to watch.

Unless it is a particularly good TV series, it is said that more and more viewers will choose to fast forward during the movie viewing process.

The website even launched the function of watching at double speed and triple speed.

Even if they don't watch it directly, there are also many people who choose to watch TV series through short video explanations.

In this case, it seems quite interesting to condense the plot into a short drama with only the key plot points.

And just like the Crooked Dragon King, it only requires a few people to say a few words in the room and a few men in suits to shoot it.

Both cost and shooting time will be short.

I guess it won’t be a big problem to shoot more than a dozen episodes in one day.

No need to ask for leave at all.

"Do you have a script?"

Zhao Maimai asked with an interested smile.

"A classmate in the screenwriting class sent the scripts of the first ten episodes to let everyone see if they work."

"It's a palace battle drama."

"The heroine enters the palace, upgrades and fights monsters along the way, and finally outlasts the emperor and successfully kills the empress dowager, her mother's enemy, as a revenge story."

"Don't tell me, although the plot is ridiculous, it's really good."

"The heroine's revenge and slap in the face are completely non-existent. It's much more enjoyable than those frustrating TV series."

After hearing what his friend said, Zhao Maimai opened the group chat and found the script.

Soon he also laughed.

One episode has only two to three hundred words.

The heroine is either on top or pretending to get revenge by slapping her in the face.

It has the flavor of The Legend of Zhen Huan.

It's just the most condensed version.

Without the foreshadowing plot, the story develops straight forward and sometimes feels a bit abrupt, but it does seem very interesting.

The protagonist looks like a white lotus, but revenge does not take overnight.

I was bullied in the last chapter, and I have to get my place back in the next chapter.

Not only can he pretend to be a white lotus in front of the emperor, but he can also slap his opponent hard in the face without anyone around him, and by the way, he can also say "do I need to choose the right time to hit you?".

And the pace of this story is really fast. In just ten episodes, the protagonist has been promoted three levels in a row from a show girl who just entered the palace.

If this were placed in a traditional TV series, it would be enough to cover fifteen episodes.

Although it seems a bit outrageous, the top is really top.

After reading the ten-episode script, even Zhao Maimai felt a little unfinished.

"It's really interesting."

"There are such talented female students in the screenwriting class. She has a great future."

Zhao Maimai feels that a screenwriter who can write something like this is a real talent.

Hearing this, my friend was delighted: "Mai Maiyi guessed wrong. The screenwriter is not a girl, but a boy."

Zhao Maimai was stunned when he heard this...

Is it a boy?

How could a boy know Gong Dou so well?

real or fake?

Sensing Zhao Maimai's astonishment, her friend chuckled: "I didn't expect that the male classmate in this screenwriting class is also a novelist, and he also writes a female-channeled palace fighting drama. I heard that he is a great author in JJ. There are some A lot of fans.”

"But when we asked him what works he wrote, he never said, he is a cheapskate..."

A boy writes a female-channeled online novel, and he is still a master...

this……

Zhao Maimai felt helpless to complain for a while.

I can only lament that our Star Academy is indeed full of talented people.

The friend obviously hopes that he can also participate in the filming of the short drama.

Zhao Maimai thought about this and agreed.

In fact, in the film and television industry, the chain of contempt is particularly obvious.

Those who act in movies look down on those who act in TV series, those who act in TV series look down on those who act in web dramas, and those who act in web dramas look down on those who shoot music videos.

As for this short skit that the students did randomly, I guess the chain of contempt is still below the MV.

If the entertainment industry knew that I was filming this, I would definitely face another round of ridicule.

He said that he really couldn't survive, so he could only entertain himself by shooting this kind of thing.

But Zhao Maimai has been scolded for half a year, and he is somewhat immune to it.

Just let them say it.

I haven't filmed in a long time, so I can still have fun with my classmates.

Moreover, the heroine is sassy and refreshing, and revenge is not overnight. It will be fun to play such a role.

So after agreeing to my friend.

Zhao Maimai spoke in the group chat and raised his hand to express that he also wanted to participate.

The appearance of Zhao Maimai, who often dives, immediately made the already excited students even more excited.

The discussion suddenly became more heated.

The screenwriter directly appointed Zhao Maimai as the heroine.

This treatment was related to Zhao Maimai's past as a TV drama star.

But it was also related to Zhao Maimai's popularity.

Although she was a star, she never put on airs in front of her classmates.

Regardless of whether they were boys or girls, any classmate who wanted to add her on WeChat would add her.

She would also treat the whole class to milk tea.

Therefore, Zhao Maimai was very popular among the first batch of film and television students.

At one time, students from all classes jumped out.

"Oh, I want to participate too, and be in the same frame with Mai Mai. I want to play the eunuch who gets slapped by Mai Mai in the second episode. Mai Mai, don't be polite, just slap him for real when the time comes. We are focusing on a sense of reality, so it's okay to slap him twice more."

"Mai Mai, don't believe him, he is a pervert, don't reward him!"

"Tsk tsk, with a big star like Mai Mai participating, it feels like our short play is not a small one, it's a big production."

"Mai Mai has participated, let's get started!"

"Filming definitely requires costumes, how do we get them, rent them?"

"The costumes are a bit troublesome, we have to purchase them. Criticism, there must be eunuchs' clothes and maids' clothes, and no matter how much money is saved, the concubines' clothes must be good-looking, after all, the heroine of the palace drama must be good-looking, where does the money come from? "

"The emperor's clothes can't be too bad, otherwise it will look too inferior."

"How about we get some together? For example, headwear, jewelry earrings, etc., buy plastic ones on Pinxixi, a pair is only two or three yuan, and the whole crew can spend three or five hundred yuan. When the time comes, we can pay attention to the lighting, so that it won't be too bad."

"Leave the shooting and editing to us, as for the camera lighting equipment, I think we can borrow it from the college, The teacher won't reject us, and if it's really not possible, we can use our mobile phones to shoot..."

"We should also try to reduce the number of shooting locations, and try to set up the outdoor scenes in the Imperial Garden. The bridge in People's Park is quite antique, and it can be used as a shooting location for the Imperial Garden. The most important thing is that there is no entrance fee."

"For the indoor scenes, I know a hotel that is specially built in the style of a Ming Dynasty royal resort. The lobby is like a palace, and the rooms are like a palace. We will book a room for a week, and discuss with the front desk to use the lobby. The interior scenes will be settled, but the room price will be It's a bit expensive. It will cost at least ten thousand yuan in a week."

"Writer, please be more cautious when writing the later plots. Don't make any big scenes."

"It's okay. Just don't use props for big scenes. People are worthless. Just grab some people from other departments to be extras. Don't worry about lunch."

"Let the students in the logistics class coordinate and see how much money it will cost to shoot. Then we can crowdfund..."

"I'll give 500 yuan..."

"I can get 6,000 yuan in New Year's money. I'll take it all out just for the opportunity to shoot with Mai Mai."

The students were very enthusiastic.

Zhao Maimai couldn't help but smile.

Although the preparation of the whole play seemed to be a joke.

It was even more of a shoddy crew than the most shoddy crew Zhao Maimai had ever seen.

They didn't even care about lunch for extras.

But to be honest, it was quite interesting.

In Zhao Maimai's opinion, if the labor cost was not counted.

After shooting this short play, it would probably cost at most 100,000 yuan.

This amount of money is nothing to the wealthy Zhao Maimai.

However, Zhao Maimai did not take on too much.

She only planned to pay a little more when the crowdfunding started.

It was not that Zhao Maimai was reluctant.

But when getting along with classmates, it might not be a good thing to take on too much.

Zhao Maimai, who had been in the crew since she was a child, understood these social customs the best.

…

The group chat was still lively.

Almost all the students majoring in film and television participated in the discussion after hearing the news.

However, the script was not finished yet, and it was difficult for the students to estimate the shooting time and cost.

So in addition to discussing, everyone urged the screenwriter to hurry up.

The screenwriters also spontaneously formed a group.

Try to finish the script of 100 episodes within a week.

The entire New Year holiday that followed.

The group of film and television majors was very lively.

Although their work, for the entire film and television industry, is not even a small production, and even the investment amount is not as high as most MVs.

But this is the first work of the students.

It is of great significance, so naturally it is particularly valued.

Even if there is no money or resources, we still want to do our best, so we all work together and feel very involved.

It also shows the characteristics of college students who like to use love to generate electricity to the fullest!
