As the end of the New Year approaches, the atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger and stronger.??

Lin Xiaoling moved back to Siheyuan from the apartment. She didn't think she was deserted in the apartment, but Zheng Xiulian's request that living at home was considered the New Year.

Since her box office defeat at "Go Home", she has been looking for new shooting subjects.

This time, Lin Xiaoling wanted to make a box office film to prove that she can not only win awards, but also make money.

It is not difficult to make such a movie. If you bring Ge You, Xu Jinglei and others to tinker with a comedy, the audience will definitely like to watch it. No matter whether there is depth or not, as long as you can be amused.

However, Lin Xiaoling couldn't pass this level.

This is a problem that directors from professional backgrounds all have. They think that movies should be artistic and psychologically reject commercial films.

They think that once they make commercial films, they will not be able to make art films again, and they will not be able to calm down.

Just like a movie director is generally unwilling to shoot TV series, the TV series is too rough and the movie is more refined. If you shoot too many TV series and lower the standards, you will not be able to find that feeling when you shoot movies.

Therefore, most of the good commercial film directors in China are not professional directors.

It took a process to change this concept of art supremacy, and Lin Xiaoling struggled quite hard.

Lin Zixuan knew that commercial films would become mainstream in the future and art films would be marginalized, which is a major trend in the commercial society.

But he would not encourage Lin Xiaoling to make commercial films. At this time, Lin Xiaoling's outlook on life and values ​​have taken shape. She has her own standards for looking at things, or she has her own path.

Lin Zixuan doesn't want to impose her influence on Lin Xiaoling, but should let her make a free choice.

"If you have any thoughts about this, just take pictures of whatever you want, don't consider winning awards and box office first." Lin Zixuan persuaded.

"I said that, but if I really filmed like that, I'm afraid I would end up with those banned directors." Lin Xiaoling said helplessly.

The sixth generation of directors are called underground directors or non-mainstream directors. The films they make are marginalized and cannot be released in China. Many people are on the blacklist of the General Administration and are banned from directing movies.

These people won awards abroad, but are unknown in China and are only sought after by some niche groups.

They survive in the cracks and face many difficulties. Many people also want to return to the mainstream, but they don’t want to give up the so-called artistic pursuit. The situation is very embarrassing.

Lin Xiaoling has a good foundation and won the grand prize at a young age. She doesn't want to end up being banned.

"Then think about it slowly, wait, what is this icon on your computer?" Lin Zixuan said strangely.

"This is a chat tool, you can chat online through this." Lin Xiaoling explained, "A friend recommended it. It was just clothed two days ago and was called Penguin."

Young people like Lin Xiaoling prefer the Internet and like to try new things.

"Penguin number? Let's try it." Lin Zixuan tapped the icon with his mouse, and an interface appeared.

This is an interface for applying for a penguin number. Lin Zixuan applied according to the steps and got his own penguin number.

On February 1o, 1999, Penguin launched an instant messaging chat software.

The Penguin number has a total of five digits, 10000, which is the system number of Penguin Company, 10001, which is the number of the Penguin Company boss, 10002, which is the number of the vice president of Penguin Company.

Lin Zixuan’s Penguin number is five hundred, which means that only more than 500 people apply in the past two days.

I guess there are many Penguin Company’s own employees’ numbers ahead, and the promotion intensity is too weak.

Moreover, the interface of this Penguin software is quite rough, and its main function is to perform wireless pages and short messages through the network.

Lin Zixuan has 6 of his Penguin account. In addition to adding friends to chat, there are no additional functions and cannot leave messages offline. Only friends can chat when they are online at the same time.

He thought about it and found it interesting. He added the number 10001 as a friend with a try.

"Brother, who is this Penguin?" Lin Xiaoling said curiously.

"I guess I should be the boss of their company. Just like my employee number at Haomeng Company is 001. Those who are bosses like this number." Lin Zixuan replied.

"That's the case, why are you adding him?" Lin Xiaoling said in confusion.

"It's okay, just try this way of making friends and keep up with fashion." Lin Zixuan said casually.

Lin Zixuan originally thought he would have to wait a long time to get a reply, but the Internet signal was not good at this time. Besides, the other party might not happen to be online. Even if it is online, it is unlikely that he would accept strangers as friends.

But unexpectedly, the reaction there was very fast. In less than ten minutes, he accepted Lin Zixuan's friend's request.

"Mr. Ma?" Lin Zixuan typed these two words.

"Are you Mr. Lin from Good Dream Company?" the other party responded.

Lin Zixuan introduced him when applying for a friend, which may be the reason why he can be accepted as a friend by the other party.

"I am Lin Zixuan from Beijing Haomeng Film and Television Company. I am very interested in this chat software of your company and want to chat." Lin Zixuan did not go around the circle, but went straight to the point.

Online chat software has been available abroad, but is rare in China.

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I have long been honored by Daming." Mr. Ma replied.

"Let's chat on the phone. It's not convenient online. I'll give you the number." Lin Zixuan thought of a cooperation plan.

Although it is called instant messaging, it cannot achieve instant results at this time. Not to mention that chatting and typing are too slow, the Internet is also a problem, so it is not as convenient as making a phone call.

"Mr. Ma, what are your promotion plans for this software?" Lin Zixuan asked.

"We are planning to promote it on the Internet, promote it on major forums, and attract users." Mr. Ma introduced.

Penguin is still in its inception and has insufficient funds. This way of advertising on forums is the most cost-effective.

This is not a commercial secret. Lin Xiaoling only learned about Penguin through a friend’s introduction on the forum.

"In this way, I have a cooperation plan. You may have heard that our company's director Feng and Ge You are going to make a new film. We can make an injected advertisement for you in the movie. Moreover, our company's actors will mention this chat software on different occasions. What do you think?" Lin Zixuan suggested.

"Of course this is good, it's just a cost..." Mr. Ma was embarrassed.

Being able to advertise in Geyou's New Year films is naturally a good opportunity for Penguin Company that has been established recently.

But this kind of implanted advertisement costs at least one million, which is not something he can afford now, and the company has more money.

"We have a cooperative relationship, and there is no charge. As long as your company's movie is released, your company will send a system message to each Penguin user through the software system to promote the video." Lin Zixuan suggested.

"We don't have many registered users, so we may have limited publicity effect." Mr. Ma said with concern.

"I am optimistic about the prospect of this software. There may be only a few hundred users now, but there may be millions, tens of millions, and even more in the future." Lin Zixuan said, "Mr. Ma, the future is worth looking forward to." (To be continued.)8
