Chapter 388 The College Is Proud of You!

On the Internet, many netizens are still curious.

What kind of short videos can students majoring in film and television at Star College make?

It was at this moment.

There was an announcement on the official official account of Star Academy.

Star Academy announced a cooperation with Douyin.

Students majoring in film and television filmed, acted, and directed a short drama about palace fighting in ancient costumes: "The Black Lotus' Handbook for Ascension".

It will be officially launched on Douyin platform on March 20th.

Immediately afterwards, Douyin also sent an announcement.

He expressed that he was honored to cooperate with Xingchen Academy.

The short drama section will be officially launched on March 20th.

"Black Lotus' Handbook for Ascension" is the first work in the short drama section.

One of the two parties that issued the statement was a top heavyweight college like Xingchen College.

The other is the world’s largest short video giant platform.

As soon as the announcement was made, it immediately attracted the attention of a large number of netizens.

Netizens were surprised to find out.

The Star Academy short drama was released on the same day as Shu Xin's "Palace Lock" TV series.

And the themes of both sides are almost the same.

They are all palace fight dramas with big heroines.

The only difference is that one is a long video.

The other is a short video.

Star Academy's actions seem a bit tit-for-tat no matter how you look at them.

This undoubtedly makes netizens a little excited.

Does Xingchen Academy not want to see its students being ridiculed, so it just comes out to support the students?

Netizens were not surprised by this.

After all, Star Academy has always had this style.

This is one of the reasons why so many students are willing to apply for Star Academy.

But even though Xingchen Academy is in trouble now, it has still reached cooperation with giants like Douyin.

Most netizens still don’t agree with it.

After all, although short videos are popular, it is difficult for everyone to imagine how works such as TV series can be shot in the form of short videos.

Each episode is only one or two minutes long, so I’m afraid the characters won’t be fully introduced, right?

Not to mention that it was directed and acted by a group of students, and the filming funds were only 2 million.

This means that the works are inferior to each other in all aspects.

In such a situation of lagging behind in all aspects, why should Star Academy be facing off against its opponent?

Therefore, most netizens are not optimistic about the short drama filmed by Xingchen students.

But if you are not optimistic about it, you are not optimistic about it.

Many netizens are also curious.

On the one hand, they want to know what the short video TV series produced by Xingchen students will look like.

On the other hand, everyone is also curious about how the acting skills of Xingchen students are doing after studying for one semester.

Has there been any significant change in the former child star Zhao Maimai?

Finally, the title of the play "Black Lotus' Handbook of Ascension" is quite interesting when you think about it carefully.

Could it be that the heroine is Black Lotus?

This is completely opposite to the popular White Lotus heroine in palace dramas.

The description in the superior manual is even more straightforward and appropriate.

After all, palace dramas are essentially workplace dramas.

So just the name made many netizens interested in this short drama.

I plan to wait until it comes online to take a look and see how it goes.

Anyway.

This wave of support for students from Star Academy.

It directly helped the short drama "Black Lotus Ascension Manual" become known to more netizens.

I believe it will wait until it is officially launched.

Therefore, the audience attracted will never be small.

…

And in some film and television circles.

They were extremely surprised and even confused by the attitude shown by Star Academy.

They couldn't understand where Star Academy's confidence came from.

How dare you use a short video work for students to entertain themselves to confront them, and it is scheduled to be released on the same day.

You know, "Palace Lock" is a serious investment.

Although the investment of 80 million is a bit exaggerated.

But when I took the whole picture, I spent a huge sum of 40 to 50 million yuan in real money.

The entire lineup can be called a TV drama team, a truly top-notch production.

Many female stars in the industry are looking forward to the role of the heroine. After all, this type of palace fighting drama with a heroine is the easiest to make the heroine popular.

If it weren't for Beijing Film and Television to launch a new student to become a top star, so as to show to the outside world the status and strength of an established institution like itself in the entertainment industry.

This kind of big drama is definitely not suitable for Shu Xin.

And for such a top-notch production, how can a shoddy short video fail?

So they couldn't understand Star Academy's front-facing operations.

But if you don’t understand, you don’t understand.

Star Academy's tit-for-tat confrontation is more in line with their interests and can bring greater popularity to the work.

Although it's unfair to compare a long video to a short drama, you will be slapped in the face if you put it together yourself.

Then don't blame us.

So in the following days.

Various marketing accounts on the Internet have focused on the competition between the two parties.

Thus attracting more people’s attention.

After spending a lot of marketing funds.

The drama "Gong Suo" has attracted unprecedented attention and popularity.

The main creative team of Gongsuo is looking forward to it very much.

I feel like I might be able to set a record this time.

However, while palace locks are very popular, "Black Lotus Ascension Manual" is also very popular and has attracted a lot of attention from netizens.

After all, Gongsuo relies on promotion and promotion, so naturally it also promotes the "Black Lotus Advancement Manual".

But the entire "Gong Lock" team did not feel that they had been taken advantage of.

After all, the two sides are not on the same level at all.

So what if a TV series shot in a short video gets more popularity?

After all, it is your family that makes the money.

…

"On the editing side, thirty episodes have been cut out..."

“A few promotional videos have also been cut out, and Douyin said they have already started releasing them.”

"My mother called me yesterday and said that while she was watching short videos, she saw me in the promotional video and praised me for becoming a big star."

"Tsk, tsk, I really didn't expect that our short play would make such a big splash in the end."

Zhao Maimai and several female classmates were walking on the way to the cafeteria. The classmates were chattering with excitement on their faces.

Although on the Internet, everyone is not optimistic about their short dramas.

But for the students themselves.

On the contrary, I don't care about it that much.

For them, being an actor and filming something is great.

Not to mention the heat is so high.

Even if only hundreds of thousands of people see the drama I filmed, I can still be considered a small internet celebrity.

Isn’t this a higher starting point than most students at Beijing Film Academy?

Zhao Maimai, who was in the center of the crowd, also nodded when he heard this.

indeed.

It is indeed an unexpected surprise that our short drama has received so much attention.

And all of this is undoubtedly brought about by the college and the principal.

Originally a small skit, due to the attention of the principal and the college, investment and cooperation with Douyin.

The popularity of this short drama has been raised to a level that was originally impossible to achieve.

And all of this is simply impossible to achieve in other colleges.

Just as he was thinking about it, a classmate pointed in front of him in surprise: "Look, is that the principal?"

Hearing this, the girls immediately looked forward.

A tall figure came into view of the girls, making their eyes sparkle.

"The principal is really handsome. I feel he is much more handsome than those little freshmen."

"My posture is also very good. Whenever I see her, her back is straight and straight, like a pine tree."

"You don't know how good the principal's figure is. I have a video of the principal bench-pressing in the gym. When he exerts force, his eight-pack abs are directly exposed under the white vest. He is really handsome!"

"I'm rich, handsome, in great shape, and so kind to the students. If only I could be the principal's girlfriend..."

"Stop dreaming, haven't you read the forum? The principal's two rumored girlfriends are both very beautiful, no worse than those top female celebrities, and they are also entrepreneurs. The most important thing is their figure, there is no comparison. oh……"

"Hmph, I'm D, why can't I compare?"

"It is recommended not to take your own milk..."

"The principal has given us so much help, shall we treat him to dinner?"

"+1, I think it's possible!"

"I'm really looking forward to having dinner with this handsome guy..."

The young girls were laughing and daring.

Soon he ran to his principal's side, surrounded Ye Chen and started chattering invitations.

Ye Chen couldn't help but smile when he looked at a group of young and lively students.

Regarding the students' invitation to have dinner, I casually agreed and treated it as if I was getting to know the students.

piece of cake.

At the dinner table, Ye Chen was enjoying his meal while listening to the girls chattering about interesting things during the filming process.

The female students majoring in film and television are undoubtedly the most beautiful among all the majors in the college.

The boys in the college were all envious and jealous when they saw a man having a meal and being surrounded by singing and singing.

I wonder which bastard is so lucky?

But when they saw the man's face.

oh……

Is it the principal? That's okay.

Ye Chen, on the other hand, cleared the dishes cleanly and planned to withdraw. He said with a smile: "Thank you classmates for the generous hospitality. You can eat slowly. I still have things to deal with."

The girls were a little reluctant to hear this.

Just like boys like to eat with beautiful women.

The same goes for girls, let alone a mature and handsome man like his own principal.

Zhao Maimai looked at her principal, who was actually a bit introverted, and stood up and said, "Thank you principal for supporting us students..."

Zhao Maimai started, and other girls also expressed their gratitude to the principal.

"Yes, if the principal hadn't lent us various photographic equipment and allocated us two million, our shooting would not have gone so smoothly."

"Also when the entire Internet was mocking us, it was you, the principal, who firmly led the entire college to stand up for us."

"Short plays can't beat TV dramas, and the academy has received a lot of criticism for it..."

"What I'm most worried about right now is actually that our works won't be recognized by the public, which will ultimately affect the academy."

At the end, many girls had worried looks on their faces.

It is actually normal for short dramas to fail to beat rival TV series.

However, due to the marketing of their opponents, the short dramas they filmed have been tied to the academy itself.

If it fails, it will be the people of the college who will lose it.

This puts a lot of pressure on film and television majors.

Ye Chen originally smiled and listened to the thanks, but was about to leave.

However, after listening to the students' words, Ye Chen realized that his help had brought so much pressure on the students.

Ye Chen immediately sat down again and waved his hand to signal Zhao Maimai and others to sit down as well.

Then he said seriously: "First of all, a short play cannot represent the academy, and it will not affect the outside world's view of the academy."

"The reason why I support you in filming short dramas is because I admire your courage to take the initiative to try new things while studying."

"As for making short plays, you can hone your professional level by applying what you have learned."

"Of course I want to support it."

"It doesn't matter whether you succeed or not. Whether you improve as a result is what matters most to me."

The girls were particularly moved when they heard this.

The students at the other tables also gathered around to watch.

Hearing the principal's words, I felt a little emotional.

In other colleges, as long as you can pass the exam, nothing else matters.

Only our own Star Academy will fully and unconditionally support everything that is beneficial to the growth of students.

I can meet such a principal.

It is truly a blessing for all students.

And then, Ye Chen spoke again: "Secondly, I am very optimistic about the short drama you filmed."

"Times are changing, and entertainment products are also changing with the development of technology."

"For example, novels used to be physical books. What now? Online novels have become very popular. They don't need to be published or written hundreds of thousands of words at a time. Instead, they are updated every day and readers follow them every day."

"With the development of the Internet, TV series and movies have also undergone many changes."

"The increasing number of online dramas is one of the changes."

"In my opinion, the transformation of some TV series into short dramas is also a major trend in the future."

"After all, more and more people are living at a faster pace, and it is difficult to have time to watch a TV series with peace of mind."

“What they need is faster-paced entertainment products.”

"In this case, a two- to three-minute short drama is the most suitable for them to watch after dinner."

"Because the short play is fast-paced, there is no need to wait at all..."

"If you look at it while you're eating, maybe it's enough time for the hero and heroine to meet, get married, and then get divorced."

"If you look at the time spent squatting on the toilet, maybe the hero has gone from poverty to fortune."

"But in a TV series, the plot may still be foreshadowing and the male and female protagonists are still arguing over the course of a meal."

"So it is obvious that short dramas are more suitable for the fast-paced life of modern people."

"So, I am very optimistic about your short video TV series."

"I think this is the future."

"And you are creating a new entertainment track..."

"So you have to have faith!"

"You will not affect the glory of the college. On the contrary, the college's current honor is all due to you students..."

"Come on!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Chen patted the shoulders of the female students around him, stood up and left neatly.

The students watching around them automatically made way for the principal to leave.

The film and television majors present all had complicated expressions.

The principal actually thinks so highly of them.

They even think they are creating a new entertainment track.

When they are not confident in their hearts.

It turned out that the principal believed in them so much.

Especially the sentence that the honor of Xingchen Academy comes from students like them, made everyone feel deeply.

Because of what Ye Chen said.

All the students present were moved and became more confident and motivated.

They have to study harder next.

I hope that one day I can use my actions to bring greater honor to the college...
