Entertaining Children

""Parkour Boy"? Parkour?" Hearing the name of the movie Ye Jiaying reported, a reporter suddenly realized, "I know!"

"What do you know?" asked the other reporter next to him.

"Parkour! This is the movie that Xiao Yao and the others are crowdfunding on the American crowdfunding website!" The reporter said, "This matter spread from the United States to China, and it also brought out Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and Xu Fei are the veteran parkour team YRF, and Xiao Yao is the founder of parkour! At that time, there were many media reports in Huaxia, and there were many discussions on the Internet!"

Several people from Xiao Yao started crowdfunding on the American crowdfunding website to make a parkour movie, and then led to the fact that the three were the veteran parkour team. The fact that Xiao Yao was the founder of parkour was revealed by netizens and the media in March and April. It has been reported that there was also an upsurge of online discussions at that time.

But that was already a few months ago, and the news that came out was only crowdfunding, that is, the film was still in the preparation stage, and the shooting time was not even revealed. The media and netizens discussed it for a while, and it was not announced yet. There was no sustained heat.

These reporters squatting at the airport are entertainment gossip reporters, belonging to the category of paparazzi. They are familiar with celebrities' scandals and gossip, but they are not so sensitive to news about celebrities' works.

Although they also knew about the news, it was a few months ago. Recently, most of Xiao Yao’s news is related to his animation movie that is being released, so they didn’t have the first time when they saw Xiao Yao at the airport. Reminiscent of this live-action movie that is in the preparatory stage, no reporter thought of it until Ye Jiaying mentioned the word parkour.

"That's right! I remembered it too!" Another reporter suddenly said, "I remember I saw the official website of that movie at the time, and it said that the main creators were Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting. , In addition, there seems to be a Chinese director in the United States, no wonder they are going to the United States to shoot!"

"In March and April, I was still looking for money through crowdfunding, so I went to the United States to start filming. Their efficiency is good enough!" A reporter commented.

"Three months is actually not too fast! However, in the past three months, Xiao Yao's main energy should have been on the post-production, theater production and promotion of the animated film. It is very rare to finish the preparations and start filming within a month!" Another reporter said.

"The most important thing is that the animated movie is still in theaters. Xiao Yao doesn't even care about the box office of the follow-up movie, so he just left China's affairs and went to the United States to make a new movie. This is big enough!" The reporter sighed.

"It's 1.1 billion at the box office, so it must have made money, so I don't want to care about it?" said the reporter who spoke in front, "Besides, even if he doesn't leave, Xiao Yao hasn't seen any further promotion after the movie was released. action!"

Several reporters walked and chatted, and walked outside the airport together. They were not going to stay at the airport any longer, and they planned to go back and report on the incident that Xiao Yao and others went to the United States to shoot parkour movies. With this news, their mission today is considered complete.

In the afternoon of that day, the news that Xiao Yao and others went to the United States to film a movie appeared on some online entertainment media. As soon as the news came out, many media followed up and reprinted it.

Zhao Rui, Xu Fei, and Chen Xiaoting all have brokerage companies. When preparing for this matter, Zhao Rui and others did not let the company know, but after the incident on the crowdfunding website was exposed a few months ago, their company naturally knew about it.

Artists under the banner invest their own money in making movies, not using the company's resources, which is equivalent to creating their own resources. This is a good thing. The brokerage company is happy to see this kind of thing come to fruition, and has also provided some support accordingly. For example, after the incident was exposed, both Zhao Rui and Xu Fei accepted a lot of media interviews, and their brokerage company did a lot of work in it.

This time a few of them set off for the United States. Their brokerage company originally wanted to join forces to hold a strong guild for them and call the media to make a big report, but Xiao Yao felt that they didn’t even start the machine. The elements of the show are too serious, a bit too much. Moreover, they set off at noon on the second day of Zhao Rui's graduation ceremony, and the schedule was very tight. It was too late, so the brokerage company had no choice but to give up.

Now that it was reported by gossip reporters at the airport, and it was revealed by interviewing your parents, the brokerage companies of Zhao Rui, Xu Fei and others don't mind giving it a boost at this time.

So all of a sudden, there was an endless stream of news on the Internet about several people investing in movies and filming in the United States. The news and interviews that revealed that the three were the veteran parkour team a few months ago were also found out.

In these news and interviews, both Zhao Rui and Xu Fei emphasized that the sport of parkour was actually invented by Xiao Yao, and the idea of ​​making a movie was first thought up by Xiao Yao, so Xiao Yao is naturally the core figure in this matter.

When these news reports came out a few months ago, everyone was quite surprised and surprised that these people were the founders of a world-wide popular extreme sport. People are not very optimistic.

These few people are actors who became famous at a young age, and their acting skills are considered experienced, but they have little experience behind the scenes of a movie. Among these people, Xiao Yao has the most behind-the-scenes experience, and he only made a few MVs and a short film. So many people join forces to invest in making movies? Can it be successful?

However, the money for their films comes from themselves and crowdfunding on crowdfunding websites. Participating in crowdfunding is resourceful, and the single amount is not large. More importantly, it is crowdfunding on foreign websites. Netizens who participate in crowdfunding are mostly foreign. There are many people, but not many people scold them for defrauding people and money, but many people think they are too childish.

But now when the news comes out again, it will be different. The animated film that Xiao Yao worked behind the scenes as producer, producer, director, screenwriter, and soundtrack has already earned more than one billion at the box office, with a score of more than 8.5 points. Although animated movies are different from live-action movies, Xiao Yao has directed short films and MVs, as well as directed live-action performances. Once the hurdle of short films and feature films has been crossed, then live-action films and animated films do not seem to be too big of a problem for Xiao Yao. Just because Xiao Yao is such a monster, many people have a lot of expectations for this movie.

Although Xiao Yao was the only one in the media interviews about parkour movies, the core figure of the topic this time is still Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao and others have just left for the United States, which means that this parkour movie has just started at most, and it is far away from its release or even its completion. However, Xiao Yao's live-action movie will definitely not be seen in the near future, but his animated movie is currently being released. Therefore, some viewers who were looking forward to the live-action movie of Xiao Yao and others couldn't help but went to the theater to watch "Wall-E" again, and once again felt the enjoyment brought to them by the movie directed and written by Xiao Yao.

In addition, on the morning when Xiao Yao and others set off, the video of Xiao Yao performing at the graduation dinner of the Yandian Acting Department was posted on the Internet. The still movie "Those Years" was circulated on the Internet together.

Xiao Yao said yesterday that he would post still movies to photography websites, movie websites, and video websites, so early this morning, some Yandian graduates searched the Internet with the mentality of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yao did all the post-processing in one night and uploaded it on the Internet. A group of Yandian graduates immediately called their friends and began to repost it on various social software.

The still movie was posted by Xiao Yao, and several graduates of Yandian majors reposted and spread it. The performance video of Sanhufan was uploaded and disseminated by the students of Yandian Performance Department.

There are graduates every year, and there are also graduates from film and television schools every year, but it is rare for a third-year student from the Department of Drama and Acting to go to the Yandian Acting Department’s graduation banquet. It is also unique to unite a group of Yandian graduates to produce a work together on the day of graduation.

These two things are very topical in themselves, but what is more eye-catching is the specific content presented in these two things.

Still movies are not particularly unusual. The professional name of still film is picture montage, which is actually a compulsory course for junior film directors. There should be quite a few people who can shoot this thing. Except for the "Li Qingzhao" that Xiao Yao filmed for Tu Yiyuan back then, there are actually quite a few still film works on the Internet, but basically they are not very famous.

This time Xiao Yao and Yandian graduates made a static movie called "Those Years", which mainly tells the story of a boy who fell in love with a girl from secret love to mustering up the courage to confess to getting together, and finally had to break up and go their separate ways when they graduated s story. In addition to telling the campus love of the two, it also includes some friendship parts between the two and other students.

The story is not particularly novel, but during the graduation season, it is particularly easy to resonate. Coupled with Xiao Yao's superb grasp of composition, light and shadow, and the professional level of service from Yandian students, this The twenty-odd photos are not only beautiful, but also particularly appealing. After being reposted by a group of Yandian graduates, it was quickly reposted by a large number of ordinary netizens and became popular on the Internet.

It was unexpected that Xiao Yao participated in the graduation dinner of the Yandian Acting Department, but it was not too surprising that he sang at the dinner. For such a famous and talented singer to attend a party, it would be unexpected not to invite him to sing a song. After being surprised by Xiao Yao's appearance at the Yandian Performance Department's graduation dinner, many people naturally focused on the song Xiao Yao sang in the video.

"Breakup Embrace", a bitter love song that sounds like a lover breaking up, but actually it is about the parting feelings of graduate students. This song is not only very suitable for the graduation dinner, but also resonated with many people this graduation season.

When uploading and publishing this video, the author also wrote a text introduction, explaining that the title of this song came from Xiao Yao’s explanation when Xu Jiahui went to find Xiao Yao and Zhao Ruiqiu for a hug, and specially emphasized that this song is Xiao Yao’s song. Yao Yao wrote it for these graduates at the scene of the breakup meal.

Xiao Yao's music creation talent is already well-known, but within a meal, he can create a complete new song for the scene at that time without writing records with pen and paper, and he can sing it directly on stage. The matter still surprised many netizens again.

Although some netizens didn't believe it, and some Heizi even pointed out in contempt that Yandian's performance department students knelt and licked touting Shenxi's performance department stars as embarrassing, but most netizens still tended to believe that Xiao Yao had this ability.

A touching and appropriate new song, or an impromptu live creation, is undoubtedly very topical. After this video was reposted by a group of students from the Yandian Performance Department, it was quickly reposted by netizens and became popular on the Internet.

A static movie, a live singing video of a new song, and the report that Xiao Yao and others went to the United States to film a movie in the afternoon, Xiao Yao once again became popular on the Chinese Internet.

Stimulated by these three things, on the Monday and Tuesday of the third week of its release, the animated film "Wall-E" once again showed no significant drop in the box office on weekdays, and remained at the same level as the previous weekend.

Although the release of "Wall-E" has entered its third week, and two more "blockbuster" movies have been released this week, joining the box office competition for the summer film, but with Xiao Yao's current popularity on the Internet and "Wall-E" in the first two days of this week With the performance of Wall-E at the box office, coupled with the film's high ratings on rating websites, many experts have analyzed and predicted that "Wall-E" is likely to win the box office next week again this week. Judging from this momentum, Xiao Yao's first movie is likely to be aimed at the box office of 2 billion.

Xiao Yao himself is still ignorant of the heated discussions on the Huaxia Internet.

Their flight took off at noon. Not long after the plane turned into a stable flight state after takeoff, the flight attendant delivered the lunch provided on the plane to the passengers.

After lunch, Zhao Rui, who was hungover, and Xiao Yao, who was staying up late, put down the tables and chairs, covered them with blankets and fell asleep soundly.

This time, everyone took a direct flight to Los Angeles, and there was no need to transfer in between. Zhao Rui and Xiao Yao slept for almost ten hours, and even missed the second meal. When they woke up, the plane had already reached the sky over the United States, and it was not long before landing.

Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui got up and went to the toilet of the plane to wash their faces, tidied up a bit, and sat in their seats for a while, when the announcement on the plane sounded to prepare for landing, passengers were asked to straighten their seats , a reminder to fasten your seat belt.

The plane landed safely, Xiao Yao and others took their luggage, and when they came out of the passenger passage, they immediately saw Muying who came to pick up the plane in person.

Among the eight members of Xiao Yao's party, Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and Pei Minyi all met Mu Ying. Although Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting had never met Mu Ying, they had contacted Mu Ying a lot through online video, so they were relatively familiar. The really strange ones are the assistants brought by the three of them and the two crew members brought by Mu Ying. After a brief exchange of greetings and introductions, Muying led everyone to the parking lot.

Muying brought everyone to the parking lot, took out the key and pressed it, then turned to Xiao Yao and said, "We drove three cars over, and the three of us are the drivers, and you assign who will take whose car!"

"Hoo~" Seeing the three cars in front of him, Xiao Yao couldn't help but whistle, and said to Mu Ying with a smile, "Old Mu, you're so generous!"

Parked in front of Xiao Yao and the others were three BMW SUVs. The three cars all looked brand new, with exactly the same appearance, and they were all black, so they looked very imposing when parked together. Judging from the model, Xiao Yao recognized that it was a new model released by BMW this year.

"This is not my big deal!" Mu Ying laughed, "This is not specially rented for you, this is the car used by the crew!"

"The crew used such a good car? Isn't it too extravagant?" Xiao Yao said, "Is our budget so sufficient?"

There are no big-name star actors in this movie, and the biggest one may be Xiao Yao. This is his own movie, and Xiao Yao is not the kind of extravagant and extravagant person. He told Mu Ying that there is no need to talk about ostentation in this regard.

"Look at how stingy you are!" Mu Ying laughed, "This car didn't cost money, it was sponsored by BMW for us to use!"

"Sponsorship?" Xiao Yao asked strangely.

"Yes!" Mu Ying nodded, "You said you would not accept investment from film companies and enterprises, but you did not say that you would not accept sponsorship and placement advertisements. BMW is our sponsor, not an investor, let alone a producer. They won’t assign people to our crew, just to advertise. To make a placement advertisement, they will provide both money and a car, I will not refuse such a thing!”

"Of course you can't refuse such a good thing!" Xiao Yao smiled and hugged Mu Yingdao.

"BMW is a big international brand!" Zhao Rui smiled and gave a thumbs up, "You can even get BMW's advertisements and sponsorships, you can do it, Lao Mu!"

"I didn't ask for this sponsorship," Muying said with a smile, "Our crowdfunding started. After the film's official website was launched, there were reports in the media. People from BMW took the initiative to find it after they found out about the news!"

"BMW took the initiative to come here to give money. Brother Mu, your relationship with BMW is really good!" Xu Fei said with a smile, "As expected of the director who helped BMW make a commercial movie!"

It was the first time Xu Fei and Mu Ying met face to face, and they were not as familiar with Mu Ying as Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui, so they called him "Brother Mu" instead of "Old Mu".

"It's not about me alone," Muying said with a smile, "BMW took a fancy to our movie and asked for sponsorship because of my relationship with Xiao Yao, maybe because of Xiao Yao's relationship! Xiao Yao even visited BMW's Munich headquarters, but I haven't been there! It's just that the film's official website has my contact information, so the people from BMW came to find me."

"By the way, you visited the BMW headquarters on August 1st. Why is your relationship with BMW so good?" Xu Fei asked Xiao Yao.

"It's a long story, let's talk slowly in the car." Xiao Yao said, "I'll take Lao Mu's car, and I'll listen to him talk about the production preparations on the way, how about you?"

"We also want to know!" The other three said.

After some final discussion, Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, Xu Fei, and Chen Xiaoting all squeezed into Muying's car, while Pei Minyi and the other three assistants took two cars driven by crew members.

"If I had known earlier, I would only bring one person and drive two cars!" Mu Ying said with a helpless wry smile.
