Seeing this young man Jiangshan, Hou Keming, among the examiners, had a lit up his eyes. He looked through the basic information of the candidates in his hand, and listened to his self-introduction while looking through.

As the head of the question setting group of the Director Department for the Art Examination of Beijing Film Academy and the director department for the literary common sense test paper, Hou Keming wanted to meet Jiang Shan with full marks yesterday, but he didn't expect that he was in the group he interviewed today.

Over the years, the director department of Beijing Film Academy has been known for its biased test type and wide knowledge. Otherwise, there would not be a rumor of "51 points to succeed". If you can get a full score in the first test under this difficulty, you will be a genius in any aspect. As for whether you are a qualified future filmmaker, you will have to take a look at it next.

"Have you ever created a novel or script?" One of the examiners glanced at his basic information and took the lead in asking a question.

Faced with the examiner's question, Jiang Shan did not throw out the popular movie scripts from later generations to make money for himself. In such occasions, he would backfire if he was not careful, and it would easily leave a bad impression of being arrogant and paranoid in the examiner's heart.

On this issue, Jiang Shan chose to tell the truth and told the examiner about his experience of writing short martial arts novels when he was in junior high school.

"When I was in junior high school, I was obsessed with martial arts novels, so I tried to write short martial arts novels, which were circulated in the class. To be honest, from the current perspective, it is very ordinary. The plot setting is actually a discussion of other martial arts novels, and the process is nothing more than revenge, cradle babies, jumping off cliffs, masters, unique skills, and revenge."

As Jiang Shan said, the examiner who asked the question kept nodding, as if he agreed with his words.

“It should be a failed attempt in general.”

Jiang Shan put an end to his story, and the examiner did not stop, and then asked, "If you were asked to adapt your martial arts novel into a movie and make it on the big screen now, what do you think the box office results of this movie will end?"

Hearing the examiner's question, Jiang Shan did not exaggerate for his own face, and said the truth: "There is a 90% chance of losing money. The theater chain wants to arrange a few midnight shows for two theaters, and it will be offline within a week. In the end, the box office will end up with hundreds of thousands, which is almost foreseeable."

"Why do you say the probability of 90%, not 100%,? Do you still have some confidence in your own work?" The examiner seized a loophole in Jiang Shan's words and asked. The eyes of several director teachers fell directly on Jiang Shan, waiting for him to speak out what kind of high-profile talk.

Hou Keming even stopped what he was doing and looked at the young man in front of him.

"In July of the previous year, a low-cost horror film was released in the United States. "The Witch Blair" won nearly $250 million in box office worldwide with a shooting cost of less than $60,000. It is definitely a textbook case in the history of films that make big profits with small profits, low cost and high returns. This handheld DV pseudo-documentary is a major selling point for the success of the movie, and in addition to the movie, it is also inseparable from the viral marketing of the distribution company Lionsgate Pictures."

After Jiang Shan said this, all the candidates present opened their mouths so much that they opened their mouths wide. One reason was because of the jaw-dropping numbers he blurted out, and the other reason was that they had never heard of this movie. Looking at the reaction of the examiner present, there should be this movie.

At the same age as seventeen or eighteen, why do people just talk so unrestrainedly in the face of danger?

Two of the four examiners present had never even heard of this movie. Hou Keming was lucky enough to experience the viral marketing because he went to the United States on a business trip in the second half of the year before yesterday. He was also deceived into the cinema by publicity, and then he vomited. It was because the camera shot with a handheld DVD player was too shaky.

After returning, Hou Keming once wanted to write an article on this movie, but after he became busy back home, he threw this matter behind him.

After Jiang Shan reminded him today, he wanted to see what the young man in front of him could say.

"The publisher Lionsgate Pictures not only built a website for this movie, but also spread urban legends about the 'Witch Blair' on the Internet. So many viewers who don't know the truth really believe this. They also deliberately ignore the concept of 'pseudo documentary' in their external publicity and deliberately emphasize the truth. They even post missing person notices in some communities about the disappearance of the protagonist of the film, which played a considerable role in the promotion of the movie."

"I personally believe that from now on, the importance of publicity and distribution in the entire movie release process will become increasingly important. Not only bad movies need publicity, but good movies need good publicity. The film and television industry is no longer the time when 'the wine is not afraid of deep alleys'. If the movie itself is 1 and the publicity and distribution behavior is 0.5, then the final result is likely to be only 2. But if the movie itself is 1, and the publicity and distribution also accounts for 1, the final box office may be 3."

In fact, when this topic was halfway through, it was a bit off topic, but it couldn't help but Jiang Shan's quick brain, good speech, and strong language organization skills, so he turned the topic back.

In fact, these are all the experiences he had written when he talked to the coal bosses in the Bath City in his last life. Otherwise, how could he fool the Shanxi coal bosses with monkey spirits?

Jiang Shan's words made Hou Keming suddenly realize, and many points that he couldn't understand were instantly enlightened.

"If your martial arts movie is released in this way of publicity, is this a deception to the audience?" The female examiner pointed out the key points in Jiang Shan's words incisively.

Hearing another question from the examiner, Jiang Shan paused for a few seconds before answering, "From the audience's perspective, this is of course a preview fraud, but from the investors' perspective, this is a reasonable publicity, and different angles will naturally have different views."

Speaking of this, Jiang Shan dared not stop. If he stopped now, wouldn’t he become a director in Zhumeng’s entertainment industry?

Jiang Shan followed closely and said, "So I will not bring this martial arts novel from my junior high school to the big screen. This is irresponsible to the audience. It is precisely because of this immaturity that I want to enter the big family of Beijing Film Academy to learn a series of knowledge such as drama literature creation, film shooting, etc."

At the end of this statement, Jiang Shan did not forget to praise the rainbow farts of Beijing Film Academy. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw obvious smiles on the corners of the examiners' mouths, no longer showing a poker face.

The average time a candidate answers a question is about five minutes. Just when Jiang Shan thought it was over, the middle-aged man in front of him raised another question to him.

Hou Keming asked again at the end, "Give you the keyword 'coffin', what kind of short story will you create?"
