1905 movie network news　　On June 28th, the online movie Story Vending Machine held its premiere in Beijing. Yang Xianghua, senior vice president of Aiqiyi, Cai Jun, editor-in-chief of Story Vending Machine, and other creative directors starring Cao Yunjin, Zhao Da and Lu Siyu attended the event and exchanged views with the media and audience after the screening.

　

As the name suggests, Story Vending Machine focuses on the concept of short film compilation with vending machine as the link. The whole film consists of four independent fantasy stories, namely, Chicken Soup and Instant Noodles, Ghost Hit the Wall, Wishing for the Function and How to Train Rabbits. The stories involve comedy, suspense, love and fairy tales. As a producer, iQiyi hopes to build a "story vending machine" brand and launch a Chinese boutique content plan by gathering these short stories.

　Cai Jun

Cai Jun, a writer who is the editor-in-chief of online movies for the first time, said that the concept of "story vending machine" is quite popular in Europe, America and Japan, and there have been some successful cases. However, in China, it is still very novel to spread this model in combination with "Net Big". "From a creative point of view, generally everyone likes to write long stories. Especially in the internet age. In fact, relatively speaking, short stories (creation) are more difficult, because the author must tell infinite possibilities and diversity in a limited space. "

At the scene, Cai Jun affirmed the creative quality of four original scripts of The Story Vending Machine, especially Zheng Yuanjie, the author of How to Train Rabbits. The story is full of fairy tale imagination and has profound practical significance. Previously, "How to Train Rabbits" was also selected as a short film for the just-concluded Shanghai International Film Festival "Golden Goblet Awards". In addition to this fantasy fairy tale, the short film "Ghost Hit the Wall" invited the comedian Cao Yunjin to play subversive roles, while Zhao Da played an infatuated man who thought he had super powers in the unit "Wishing for Functions".

On the same day, two actors also came to the premiere. When talking about the first show of his suspense film, Cao Yunjin said that at first he was worried that the audience would want to laugh as soon as they saw him: "But then I began to wonder, I can make the audience laugh all night, so is it possible for me to keep them scared?". The answer is possible. "

　

In the movie, Cao Yunjin’s character is trapped in a closed space-time, and is constantly tortured by his fiancee’s "ghost". He said with a smile that he deeply felt the "chill from tail bone" when he was filming, but the experience of shooting "Ghost Hit the Wall" also made Cao Yunjin have a strong interest in suspense films. In his new works this year or next year, he also hopes to bring a "thriller comedy" movie to the audience. In addition, Cao Yunjin is currently running a comedy live project to build a platform for small theater performances.

　

After the offline premiere, Story Vending Machine will also be officially premiered on the iQiyi platform on June 29th.
