You promised to make a bad movie, but your box office exceeded 10 billion?

Chapter 36 has never had such a good start
"Okay, I came here today to tell you that Douyin is going to hold a short film competition and invite us to participate."

After making plans for the recruitment, Li Mingyue said seriously that this was the investment she was most certain to lose money on since she got the system, and it was naturally very important to her.

"Short film contest?"

Su You frowned, not showing much interest.

He had seen many so-called competitions in his previous life, but anyone with a discerning eye could see the things behind them. As for them, they were just invited to be green leaves.

If you behave obediently, your master might be happy and reward you with a bone.

Su You is not surprised.

"Correct!"

"Short Film Contest!"

"The judges this time include well-known directors Chen Kaige, Chen Sicheng, actor Yao Chen, and great writer Liu Zhenyun... This is a good opportunity to learn!"

Seemingly sensing that Su You was not very interested, Li Mingyue quickly came up with her trump card, "So we need to prepare a work to compete!"

Su You didn't really want to go at first, but seeing how interested Li Mingyue was, he really wanted to communicate with those well-known directors. Just be a green leaf, if you can have the opportunity to interact with these well-known directors and actors Communication is also a rare opportunity.

Then he asked, "When will the competition start?"

"At the end of the month!"

"???"

"It's the 18th now. You want me to make a short film in ten days to compete?"

"You know that short films and short plays are different, right?"

Su You was a little confused. He didn't know if Li Mingyue thought that the short films in the competition were just like the short films being shot now and could be shot in a week.

Although he knew that he was going to participate in the competition to be a green leaf, he couldn't just do it shoddily. Otherwise, wouldn't he be ruining his own brand and humiliating himself when the time comes?
"Yup!"

"Are you confident?"

That's great. Time is tight and the quality of the short film must be even worse. In addition, the contestants are all outstanding directors, so the possibility of winning is even smaller. It's perfect!

Li Mingyue looked at Su You with bright eyes, full of longing for a better future.

Of course, what she longs for is not that her short film will win a prize, but that her short film will fail on the street, get no awards at all, and then get all her money back. That would be so wonderful!
Do you have confidence?
I have so much confidence!

Su You stared at the sky speechlessly. Even if he had a system that could redeem all the information related to film and television dramas, which could shorten the shooting schedule infinitely, shooting also took time. Sometimes a shot can't be shot just by knowing how to shoot it.

It also requires the cooperation of photographers, actors and even the right time and place to achieve the desired effect.

And these all take time to polish.

"Then it's settled!"

Seeing Su You's helpless expression strengthened Li Mingyue's determination to compete.

"You finalize the script as soon as possible. I'll take a look at it first, and then we can prepare for filming!"

Although Li Mingyue believed that Su You's chances of winning the award were slim due to being surrounded by many masters, but after being backstabbed by "Dragon King" and "Once Upon a Time in the Square", she decided to pay more attention to the script, but no more accidents could happen. .

"Time is tight, give me the script tomorrow!"

"..." You also know that time is tight?
Su You sighed, but did not refuse. With the system on his side, he decided to accept this difficult challenge. It was quite exciting when he thought about it. He only had less than half a month to make a short film to meet Hao Jie. The battle between an outstanding young director who has won a short film award and a former top actor like Wang Luoduan is something worth remembering, no matter the outcome.

Moreover, this is an opportunity for him and Brother Hao.

After all, this is a competition organized by Douyin, and famous directors and famous actors are participating. The traffic this can bring is not at the same level as a small team like them.

Although he knows that it is unlikely that he will win the prize in the end, as long as he can produce a work that impresses the audience and dazzles the directors, then he will be able to get more opportunities to shoot bigger scenes!
With his system in mind, what he lacks is a stage where he can express himself!
Similarly, Brother Hao will also have the opportunity to show his face. Since he is the one making the short film, of course the male lead can only be Hao Wei, unless the image is indeed too different from the script.

So, no matter what, this is a rare opportunity for him.

"You should know that this kind of competition is a bit tricky, right?"

However, there are some things that need to be explained clearly first. Su You looked at Li Mingyue and said, "So, our chances of winning the prize should be low."

Ok?
Is there such a good thing?

Li Mingyue felt that the ringtone she changed really brought her good luck, which was great!

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about money."

"It doesn't matter whether you win an award or not. This is a rare opportunity. We are mainly going to communicate with the top people in this industry. If you can get guidance, it will be of great benefit to you in the future. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. It's such a short period of time." It would be great if I could make a movie with the time I have."

Li Mingyue simply said, just make a short video to fool them and that's it.

"She really, I cried to death!"

What kind of peerless and wonderful boss is this?
She knew that there was a high probability that she would lose money, but she still let herself participate without hesitation. The purpose was to allow herself to communicate with top people in the industry and give herself a chance to learn.

"Don't worry, I will definitely make a good short film and strive to be a blockbuster in the competition. Even if I don't win the award, I still want to make the name [Xihong Film and Television] famous."

Eh?Brother, no, don’t!
Just pat it as you like, it’s a ball!

Hearing Su You's dangerous speech, Li Mingyue couldn't help but get angry. If he really got No. 1, who would she ask to reason?
But then I thought about it, time is tight, the opponent is powerful, and there are insider tips, so I shouldn’t be able to win the prize anyway, right?

"What about the past in the square?"

Li Zhenduo asked on the sidelines that although short plays do not need to be updated every day like novels, everyone still has requirements for updates. If they are not updated for too long, the audience will also be lost in large numbers.

And after participating in the Douyin Short Film Contest, the Chinese New Year is coming. Even if Su You and the others don't have to take a holiday, the uncles and aunts still have to celebrate the New Year.

If they wait until after the new year to shoot, including the time for shooting and editing, they will not update for nearly a month, which will have a huge impact on the account.

But this situation is exactly what Li Mingyue wants to see.

But soon, she suddenly had an idea and came up with a clever plan. She looked at Li Zhenduo with bright eyes, "You will be the one to shoot the next episodes!"

"You have been an assistant director for such a long time, so you should be able to handle such a small thing, right?"

Li Mingyue laughed wildly in her heart, the system had no objection!

She is indeed a genius!
This will not only reduce the quality of "Once Upon a Time in the Square", after all, she knows Li Zhenduo's strength, otherwise she wouldn't have to do odd jobs on the set every day.

At the same time, Su You was also transferred to shoot short films for competition, a project that was destined to lose money. He killed two birds with one stone and killed two birds with one stone...

There has never been a better start!
