Seriously speaking, Chen Ming's request is a bit excessive.
Because the national-level propaganda film is one of the sealed files that is absolutely confidential before it is released to the public.
Tong Ling can't make the decision in this matter.
So he chose silence.
Feng Yiping frowned slightly, he had some unexpected questions.
He thought Chen Ming would ask how much the price was?
Unexpectedly, Chen Ming didn't think about the price at all, but was more concerned about the quality of the promotional video.
"Can."
Feng Yiping didn't think for too long.
Hesitation in doing things will never lead to great things!
Feng Yiping has always done things like this. When he decides what to do, he won't hesitate.
"But the content cannot be leaked. You can only read it alone."
Chen Ming agreed.
"Then we'll wait until you finish reading and then discuss the quotation over the phone."
I thought I could negotiate the price today, but now I'm afraid I have to wait a little longer.
Chen Ming left his email address, stood up and left.
Tong Ran stood up to see him off, and when he went down the stairs, he asked in confusion: "Chen Ming, why don't you talk about the quotation?"
Chen Ming did not answer, but exclaimed: "Brother Tong, your father is actually the leader of the national television station, how awesome!"
"That is to say, the position is great, but the salary is not as good as those high-paid white-collar workers!"
Tong Ran shook her head.
His father is a fool. He doesn't accept gifts or red envelopes and doesn't go through the back door. He has adhered to the three no's principles all his life. The family's savings are at most 200,000.
Chen Ming smiled, patted Tong Ran on the shoulder and left.
Only those with principles can go further!
The fact that Tongran's father was able to reach the position of director must be inseparable from the "three no's principles". This is not something that can be measured with money.
After leaving,
Chen Ming is still thinking about copyright issues in his mind.
afternoon,
There is an extra video file in the mailbox.
After Chen Ming received it, he read it carefully.
It’s almost night after watching this!
The entire promotional video has only three episodes, each of which is one and a half hours long, namely "My Past", "You Now", and "Us in the Future".
"The Me I Used to Be".
It tells the story of a child who was born in a rural area and studied hard. When all the hopes of his family were placed on him, he chose to carry the heavy burden forward.
The end of the first episode ends with a dazzling acceptance letter.
"You Now".
Among the crowds of people traveling through the city, some people choose construction sites for their livelihood; some people have acceptable academic qualifications and enter office buildings. The various colors of the city constitute a colorful painting, and everyone's life is a stroke of the painting.
Finally, it ends with smiling faces.
"The Us of the Future".
After a lifetime of hard work, after getting married and establishing a career, our children will be happy, our husbands and wives will be harmonious, and our parents will be healthy. This is the goal we continue to strive for.
The whole third episode is full of joyful atmosphere, and I want to tell everyone: if we work hard, the future will be as beautiful as in the promotional video!
After reading it, Chen Ming closed his eyes slightly and pondered.
The promotional video is great!
It is no exaggeration to say that every frame touches people's hearts and even makes people want to cry. It is indeed a national-level work.
But for some reason, Chen Ming always felt that something was missing...
What Chen Ming saw was life.
But where is the dream?
Not everyone’s dream is for life. For example, when you were a child, you wanted to be a doctor and thought saving people was a very great thing. Another example is when you wanted to be an astronaut and appreciate the beauty and extraordinaryness of outer space.
These have nothing to do with ordinary life.
After thinking for a long time, Chen Ming dialed Feng Yiping's phone number. The phone only rang twice before the call was connected. It seemed that the other end of the phone had been waiting for Chen Ming's reply.
"Brother Chen Ming, what do you think?"
Feng Yiping must have wanted to hear Chen Ming's words of praise and bragging. After all, they put a lot of effort into making this promotional video. The more praise they receive, the more worthwhile their efforts will be.
did not expect,
Chen Ming hesitated for a few seconds and then said: "Mr. Feng, I think this promotional video is missing something."
As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yiping was curious: "Oh? What's missing?"
He was not angry because of Chen Ming's words, but more curious.
"Lack of dreams."
"It's not a dream to fight for a day-to-day life."
Feng Yiping fell silent.
Their original intention is just to encourage young people to be down-to-earth and work hard.
I would like to ask, among you here, how many of your original dreams have come true? If you strive for unrealistic dreams, you may gain nothing, so it is better to strive for life to be more practical.
Because of this, promotional video shooting is closer to life.
But Chen Ming didn't think so.
The lives of young people have become stagnant. If the struggle movies that inspire them are still about life and work, then why do they still watch them?
Their daily lives are real struggles!
Didn't they study hard?
Didn't they work hard?
Don't they live seriously?
No!
They are trying to live well every day.
But it is this kind of life that makes them become Buddhists, because living this kind of life well is already very hard.
"You want to add an element of dreaming to it?"
Feng Yiping asked.
Chen Ming didn't say anything. It was impossible for the national television station to reshoot it because of his small opinion, but from the bottom of his heart, there was something really wrong with this promotional video.
For some reason, Feng Yiping was very curious about Chen Ming's thoughts.
This afternoon, he checked out information about Chen Ming on the Internet and listened to all of Chen Ming's new songs.
Chen Ming,
This young man with an ordinary name but extraordinary musical talent always seems to have some unusual ideas in his mind.
Just like the suona, an unpopular musical instrument that is about to be eliminated by the public, it suddenly became a wave of popularity!
Maybe this is genius.
Therefore, he wanted to hear Chen Ming's opinion.
"It's okay. Just say it boldly. Just treat it as a casual chat between the two of us. Don't take it too seriously."
Feng Yiping's kind voice reached Chen Ming's ears, which made Chen Ming relax a little. In fact, Chen Ming was very nervous before making this call.
Chen Ming let out a breath: "Mr. Feng, in fact, everyone has dreams, but most dreams are wiped out in ordinary life."
"If we connect these dreams together and shoot one episode alone, the response should be much stronger than the first three episodes."
That's right.
What Chen Ming wanted to do was to shoot another episode alone.
The first three episodes remain unchanged, and then a special episode will be released, telling the story of my dreams that seemed unattainable but were actually promising since childhood.
Feng Yiping's eyes flashed slightly, and he said with a smile without changing his tone: "Then what do you think should be done for a separate episode?"
In other words, what content does Chen Ming hope to include in the special episode?
"athlete."
"the scientist."
"Hospital worker."
Chen Ming did not hesitate and directly named three professions.
On the other end of the phone, Feng Yiping began to think seriously, which made Chen Ming a little overwhelmed, fearing that he would say the wrong thing.
After a long time, Chen Ming said again: "Actually, these three episodes are also very good, so I will still choose to sell the copyright of "Chasing Dreams"."
He was just making a suggestion.
As for what Feng Yiping thinks, that is his business.
In general, the overall quality of this promotional film is very high. Although it deviates somewhat from Chen Ming's ideal struggle, it still fits well with the style of "Chasing Dreams".
Feng Yiping smiled and said: "Okay, then I will have someone contact you about the copyright fee, and I will not get involved in money matters."
The two chatted for a while and hung up the phone.
in hotel room,
Feng Yiping frowned slightly, lit a cigarette, and smoked it quietly. The smoke lingered on his old cheeks.
At this moment, Tong Ling knocked on the door, and Feng Yiping stood up and opened the door.
As soon as Tong Ling entered the door, he asked anxiously: "Is there any news from Chen Ming?"
After listening to this song last night, they had the answer in their minds. This song is absolutely in line with the struggle emotions of contemporary young people, and it is perfect to use it as the theme song.
Feng Yiping nodded: "I just hung up the phone."
"Is it done?"
"It's done."
Tong Ling's old face relaxed. What had been delayed for so long was finally over, and old guys like them no longer need to bear the pressure from above.
But when he turned around, Feng Yiping's eyebrows almost furrowed into the character "one".
Tong Ling sat down in confusion: "Then what are you still worried about?"
Feng Yiping knocked the cigarette ashes in his hand and asked calmly: "Old boy, what do you think of our promotional video?"
"That must be good. Apart from the charity film released last year, this one should be the most thoughtful and high-quality drama."
Tong Ling did not hesitate.
Feng Yiping glanced at him and hesitated: "Old boy, what is your dream?"
"Watch my brat get married and have grandchildren."
"No, what I want to ask is, what was your dream when you were a child? Was it to become a TV station director?"
"..."
no!
Although Tong Ling can't remember what his dream was when he was a child, he is definitely not a director.
Feng Yiping sighed: "That guy Chen Ming told me that our promotional video is missing something. I hope we can make a special episode!"
"What's missing?"
"Lack of dreams."
The word "dream" is very important when you are young, but it will be very light when you grow up.
