Chapter 137 Joining the Genius Carnival Project

In addition to the arena series of videos, Gu Tong also released a travel vlog video before that, and he shot this video entirely for himself.

He didn't care about the editing techniques at all, and there was nothing special in the video, basically he and Chu Zihang were eating and drinking, so the playback volume of the video was very average in comparison.

However, the number of views of this video is 80. Although it is a bit standard compared to his other videos, it is actually a video with acceptable results.

Gu Tong used a calculator to calculate the amount of playback he could exchange for cash.

Starting from the vlog of McDonald's work, Gu Tong has not used the views to raise money anymore, and now he has released several popular videos one after another, and the accumulated views are naturally very considerable.

The eighth video - those things about working at McDonald's has a cumulative view volume of 170 million.

The ninth video - Qi Ya's personal role video has accumulated 150 million views.

The tenth video - Kirito's personal character video has a cumulative views of 250 million.

No. 11 video - the cumulative views of travel vlog video is 80.

No.12 video: Dimensional Arena 400 has [-] million views so far.

Coupled with the newly increased views of the previous videos, especially the videos of the two dimensional arenas, Gu Tong has a total of 1710 million views that can be exchanged for money.

Based on the exchange rate of 1000 yuan per 3 views, the money can be exchanged for up to nearly 5 yuan.

Combining the results of the video and the feedback data, Gu Tong felt that he should be able to exchange at least 5000 yuan, but the result exceeded his expectations. The total amount of money he finally exchanged was 5 yuan.

Including Gu Tong's original deposit, his current deposit balance is a total of 15 yuan, which is enough for him to live for a long time.

"Sure enough." Gu Tong looked at the 15 yuan in Alipay, and he was already a little dissatisfied with the money he got from station B's creative incentives.

1000 views can be exchanged for up to 3 yuan, which seems a bit too slow to make money.

Gu Tong is now a UP host with millions of fans, and at the top of the trend, the arena videos he posted almost dominate the video recommendations on the homepage.

If he wants to accept advertisements, he feels that the income may be much higher than relying on the creative incentives of Bilibili as it is now.

And besides advertisements, he can even see a lot of commissions for shooting videos from private messages.

When the fun people at station B saw it, they would just say, holy crap, that’s awesome. Holy shit, this is the most monster newbie UP leader this year. Oh my god.

But those discerning people who have watched his video seem to have reached a consensus. Behind Gu Tong is an extremely skilled technical team. Maybe this team is composed of some top domestic leaders. Sending the video to station B is purely pure For fun and fried fish.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the gorgeous battles shown by Gu Tong in the video cannot be easily produced with the current technology at all. Even Hollywood special effects artists need a long time to produce.

Most of them also think that the video series of Dimensional Arena has been filmed by this team a long time ago, otherwise, how could such ultra-high-quality videos be produced in a short period of time.

Gu Tong released three arena videos with higher and higher quality in just one month, which is the most outrageous.

But in fact, besides the realized character, Gu Tong is really the only one.

It might be better to say that the system is equivalent to a so-called professional team. The sets, characters, and special effects required for shooting are basically undertaken by the system.

Gu Tong can now even see an invitation to co-produce a video from a film school boss in a private message. He said that he wanted to invite Gu Tong to collaborate on a shooting project, and many bosses in the film industry are already participating in this project. .

And in order to show sincerity, the film boss also revealed the general content of the plan, saying that the structure of the film they are going to shoot is similar to the "Genius Carnival" series released in Japan.

The "Genius Carnival" series is produced by the cooperation of many talented and talented directors. These animation directors each shoot a short animated film showing their creativity and ideas, and finally put these short films together to form a complete film. .

Such movies are basically a stage used by various directors to show off their skills and showcase their creativity.

Another example is the feature film "My Fathers and Me" co-directed by Wu Jing, Zhang Ziyi, Xu Zheng, and Shen Teng, which was screened in cinemas before, also has a similar structure.

Gu Tong still remembers that when he was watching "Genius Carnival 2", there were his favorite directors Masaaki Yuasa and Shinichiro Watanabe in it.

The two animated short films they shot can be said to be very amazing, but they did not achieve the effect of overwhelming the crowd, because the other short films were also shot by well-known animation directors.

Gu Tong stared blankly and opened the homepage of the big guy from the film academy, his name was Xu Wu.

Xu Wu's homepage has the recognition of Station B. There is no doubt that this is him.

When Xu Wu was in high school, he made a short animated film and posted it on Bilibili. This short film was quickly spread due to its superior quality, causing waves in China and being recognized by many big names in the film industry.

At the time of that short film, it can be said that anyone who is on the Internet can see it. It combines stream of consciousness, multi-line narrative and other high-end techniques to tell an extremely complicated story.

Moreover, the length of the film is only 22 minutes. Xu Wu told the story very clearly within 22 minutes. The ability to narrate and edit the story alone is already very rare.

You can even see this short film on Douban. Some film critics rated this short film as high as 8.8 points. They analyzed the dark and bright lines of this film from many angles, as well as the thoughts that the author wants to narrate.

After Xu Wu, who was only 17 years old, perfectly demonstrated his talent through that short film, he soon received an invitation from Anjing Film Academy and joined the academy directly without taking the exam.

A few years have passed now, and Xu Wu, who is already 21 years old, has not made any news. It seems that he is concentrating on his filming skills, but every one of his social accounts still has many supporters.

For example, Xu Wu’s Bilibili account only released the short video, but it already has 200 million fans. So far, the short video has accumulated a total of 2000 million views, which can be regarded as the township of Bilibili. Treasure.

For Gu Tong, he could understand Xu Wu's mentality to invite Gu Tong.

Xu Wu has been premeditating this shooting plan for a long time, and this plan is the Chinese version of "Genius Carnival".

The collaborators that Xu Wu invited were all famous directors or talented students with inestimable future in the film academy. He was able to invite these collaborators because of his popularity accumulated in the top film academy in China.

And the film that Xu Wu will make will be a collection of short films made by different talented authors.

His purpose is also very simple - he wants to show his crushing talent through this movie, because this movie will be a collection of short films, so each short film in it will naturally be compared by the audience.

He wanted to tell the audience that the short film he made would definitely be the most eye-catching part of the movie, and Gu Tong was the stepping stone he found.

The reason why Xu Wu has been silent for so long is that he is silently accumulating popularity and preparing himself for the stage where he will emerge this time.

On this stage, there is no seniority, only talent and talent can be recognized by the audience.

"So." Gu Tong thought about it:

"He should have seen the 'expensive special effects' and the 'magnificent scene arrangement' in my video, and thought that there was a professional team behind me, so he wanted to challenge me, otherwise how could a rookie like me Join a stage like this."

Naxiu's voice recalled, "You are quite self-aware."

Gu Tong sighed lightly: "It is said that I want to shoot a short film, what kind of short film do I have to shoot to compare with these film tycoons, will it be possible that after I send them the finished product, they feel that the overall film is too low The quality directly gave me a pass."

"I think you can give it a try," Naxiu's calm voice echoed in Gu Tong's mind:

"You must know that this is an opportunity, that Xu Wu wants to step on you, a budding newcomer, and you can also use him to make yourself famous, as long as you can produce a quality comparable to his in this collection. videos, and even made short films that crushed him in quality.”

"Come on, I just rely on the system to shoot some videos to bluff people. What kind of editing techniques, ideological connotation, camera language, how can I compare with these big guys," Gu Tong said, holding his chin:
"The short film he shot a few years ago with 2000 million views is still on Station B."

Naxiu sighed and asked, "So you just quit, and you're still a coward?"

"Frankly speaking, this challenge is quite risky. If I can't show a stunning short film, I can easily be seen by them as having no real talent." Gu Tong said thoughtfully:
"If I continue to maintain the sense of mystery and let the audience guess that there is a professional team behind me, maybe it will be better. This is the safest way to develop."

Naxiu said: "Answer my question instead of analyzing the pros and cons. Don't you really want to be like Chu Zihang and the others? I don't think such a person will miss such an opportunity because of lack of self-confidence."

"Do not."

"Try it."

"Farewell, go and see for yourself what the reputation of the video he made is on those well-known rating websites."

"What does it matter? Even if you fail, this is still an opportunity for others to recognize you."

"Other collaborators are also well-known names in the industry, either talented up-and-coming stars or highly skilled film masters"

"so what?"

"Ten thousand steps back, it's okay for Chu Zihang or Tongren to be here. They are very smart and can give me advice, but none of the current materialized characters can give me advice."

"So Chu Zihang is gone, and you have no confidence, because you can only be a coward who relies on others, and you won't challenge unless you have the absolute conditions to win."

"I really don't have talent, and putting me in this project will only reveal my true colors."

"I feel that your imbecility is really pathetic to the extreme. This is an opportunity delivered to your mouth. Only those who are good at seizing opportunities can become stronger. People like you who are always timid and will only stay in their comfort zone , it will be like that for the rest of my life.”

"I"

"Oh, if you want to say 'I can't, I can't do it' again, you imbecile, then I suggest you just shut up."

"I think it might be worth a try."

Gu Tong took a deep breath and repeated, "I think I can give it a try. Although I don't have talent or practical skills, I have things that they don't have."

"That's right," Naxiu said jokingly: "It's really hard to enlighten you. Frankly speaking, I had the urge to strangle you more than five times during this conversation. Your character is really too submissive. Thinking about too many things will only limit your pace."

"Okay, if you've cursed enough, stop it." Gu Tong put his fingers on the keyboard.

He opened the private message interface with Xu Wu. Xu Wu's attitude was very enthusiastic, and the message he sent to him exceeded nearly a thousand words, introducing in detail the other collaborators who had been invited for this project.

It can be seen that Xu Wu really thinks highly of Gu Tong. From just a few videos released by Gu Tong, he can see Gu Tong's potential or how powerful the team behind Gu Tong is.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Xu Wu to invite Gu Tong to participate in this plan.

"I'll join." Gu Tong tapped the words on the keyboard, hesitated for a moment, and then pressed the send button.

"That's right." Naxiu repeated, and his voice disappeared in Gu Tong's mind.

Frankly speaking, Gu Tong felt a little regretful after sending it, but now he felt that there was no point in regretting it.

After all, many things in this world have a price.

He relied on the system to gain popularity and recognition, but in the end it was revealed that he was actually a cheater without talent and ability, and there was nothing he could do about it.

"Since I have accepted it," Gu Tong closed the laptop, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and let the nervous spirit relax, "then we have to do it."

He remembered a lot of what Chu Zihang had said.

Chu Zihang has been teaching him to dare to face difficulties and seize opportunities, and not to let himself regret.

At that time, Chu Zihang's eyes seemed to be blaming himself for not being able to fight to death with his father on the elevated road, or blaming himself for not being able to express his heart to Xia Mi, and all that was left for him was to watch A chance to be dazed in the empty room where Xia Mi lived.

"Seize the opportunity." In the dark room, Gu Tong murmured: "Don't let yourself regret it."

"I will climb up, and when that time comes, we will meet at the top."
