Entertaining Children

Chapter 731 Parkour Competition

Since the official account of the "Youth" film and television company announced the status of these two projects, these two projects have attracted a lot of attention from the media and the Internet. Now the two crews are holding the start-up press conference at the same time, which also attracted many media reporters to participate.

Although the most attractive point of these two projects is the new composition of the crew, if it were not for the two stars Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui as the planners and producers of the projects, the media and the public would not be interested in these two projects. Two items so concerned.

Before the media reporters participated in these two start-up press conferences, which were almost all newcomers, most of the questions they planned to ask were prepared for the two stars Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui, but when they really arrived at the press conference However, when the press conference started, they found that the planners of the two projects, Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui, did not appear at the start-up press conference of their respective crews.

However, Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui did not appear, and there were still celebrities at the press conferences of these two crews. As the second most famous star in the cast and crew list, Lin Qisan and Zhu Zitong appeared at the press conferences of their respective crews as representatives of the management and producers respectively. Therefore, when entering the reporter questioning session, the first question asked by the first reporter on both sides was to ask why Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui didn't show up.

Lin Qisan and Zhu Zitong did not hide anything, and truthfully answered the reporter where they were going.

Part of the production funds for the parkour movie in the Spring Festival file this year came from online crowdfunding. After the box office results came out, the yrf team decided to use the investment income from crowdfunding to form a company that specializes in promoting parkour and organizing and operating parkour events to give back to those parkour enthusiasts. After the box office share was credited, the sports promotion and event operation company had been established and started preparations for the first World Parkour Skills Competition.

The registered place of this company is in the United States, and the place where the first event is held is also in the United States. As the initiating team of parkour and the investor of the event hosting company, that is, the initiator of this event, the yrf team must also participate in the first event. Two days later, it will be the day of the World Parkour Skills Competition, so Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, Xu Fei, and Chen Xiaoting flew to the United States to participate in the Parkour Competition.

Of course, as event investors and promoters, the yrf team will not be both referees and athletes, so they do not participate in competitions, but participate as judges and special guests.

Although the Parkour movie by Xiao Yao and others has won a very good box office, and the parkour sport has also gained a high degree of attention in China in a short period of time, but generally speaking, this sport requires physical fitness and movement skills. Extremely high sport is still a relatively niche sport.

Some of the reporters in Huaxia had heard about the World Parkour Competition, but since the competition was held in the United States, most of the reporters and the public in Huaxia were not particularly clear about the specifics of the event. When they heard from Lin Qisan and Zhu Zitong that the event was organized by a company invested and established by Xiao Yao and others in the United States, the reporters at the press conference were all taken aback.

A few Chinese people launched a new extreme sport that is popular all over the world, which is something that makes Chinese people feel very excited. Now these people have invested in the establishment of a company to promote this sport globally and organize special events. Very amazing big news. After a short period of astonishment, the media reporters at the scene became excited and asked questions about the sports promotion company and the event, which once led the direction of the two press conferences astray.

Xiao Yao and others crowdfunded to make a movie,

It has always been a topic of debate among netizens. At the beginning of crowdfunding, some netizens discussed whether it was appropriate for Xiao Yao and the others to crowdfund and make movies instead of attracting investment. It's just that at that time most people were excited by the news that Xiao Yao and others were the mysterious yrf team, the initiator of the parkour movement, and they were going to make a parkour movie. This kind of discussion did not form a big trend. And at that time, Xiao Yao's animated film hadn't been released yet, and not many people thought that Xiao Yao and others were such a rich man, so they didn't have much reaction.

When the box office of the Parkour movie came out, the issue of crowdfunding was brought up again by some people. It is said that Xiao Yao's "WALL-E" is a big hit at the box office, and he is obviously not short of money, but he does some kind of crowdfunding, and uses the money of parkour lovers to make movies, but the money he earns falls into his own pocket. Cheap for netizens and parkour enthusiasts.

Fans and netizens who are a little more sensible can figure it out. In fact, when the parkour movie was crowdfunding, the movie "Wall-E" had not yet been released in China, and it was in the later stage, that is, Xiao When Yao was short of money. No matter what the box office of "Wall-E" was, it couldn't affect Xiao Yao and others at that time, so they laid out the timeline of this fact and fought back.

If sunspots want to blackmail a person, they will turn a blind eye to many facts. Most importantly, the box-office success of Wall-E and Parkour movies has fueled even greater hatred of the rich in some people. So what if there was no box office for "Wall-E" at that time? You guys are all stars and the second generation of stars. You have money yourself, your family has money, and you still cheat netizens' money to make money, no matter what, it is unjustifiable!

Crowdfunding is a voluntary form, and all the conditions of the film project are true. Xiao Yao and others also revealed their true identities during the crowdfunding, and they did come up with a film work in the end. No matter how you say it, it is a lie Disconnected. In the general environment, the vast majority of netizens are more objective and stand on a more fair attitude, and not many people follow the trend of such remarks, so these remarks have not become mainstream, but some sunspots are leading Rhythm.

Among several people, Xiao Yao was the main target of Heizi's attack. However, Xiao Yao has always turned a blind eye to things like Heizi, and he doesn't bother to explain. And Xiao Yao's fans are also very combative at certain times. The movie's official website has a detailed crowdfunding list and details of the amount. Most of the crowdfunding funds come from foreign netizens. None of them participated in the crowdfunding of the film project, and they gave back without spending your money.

It didn't take long for the two discussions about crowdfunding to subside, but most of the media reporters still knew that there had been such disputes on the Internet. Now Xiao Yao and others use the proceeds from the crowdfunding to set up a company to promote parkour and hold parkour events. Does it mean that they also cared about those remarks at the beginning and responded to those remarks with this behavior? ?

At the scene of the two start-up press conferences, the second question asked by the reporter basically focused on the motivation of Xiao Yao and others to do so.

This is the press conference for the opening of movies and TV shows. If Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui were present, they might have ignored such questions and asked the reporters to ask questions related to movies and TV shows instead. However, as non-parties whose names did not appear on the film's official website's main creative list, Lin Qisan and Zhu Zitong were both more accommodating, and they explained to Xiao Yao that when he was planning to shoot the parkour movie, he already had a Parkour lovers’ money is used to promote the idea of ​​parkour, so the crowdfunding of the movie has nothing to do with any comments on the Internet.

Regarding Lin Qisan and Zhu Zitong's statement, some reporters were skeptical, and many new questions popped up again. However, although Lin Qisan and Zhu Zitong were more easy-going than Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui, they did not allow reporters without a bottom line to turn the launch conference of movies and TV dramas into a press conference on parkour movie crowdfunding issues. So after answering the two questions, the two stopped answering questions in this area, and reminded the reporters to ask questions related to the press conference, bringing back the direction and rhythm of the conference.

Although the two core figures, Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui, did not come, Lin Qisan and Zhu Zitong, the two planning participants and a group of new directors and actors also had many questions to ask. "Youth", a new film and television company, invested in two youth-related film and television works at once, the rookie crew from a general education class, and the faint sense of confrontation between Yandian and Shenxi before, are all very good topics. After the rhythm is pulled back, the reporters can ask a lot of questions.

It is not the first time for Lin Qisan and Zhu Zitong to participate in a press conference, but they have basically participated as protagonists or supporting actors in the past. It was the first time for both of them to control the entire press conference as the producer and crew represented by the management with the most power and the most famous star of the crew. However, this first time for both of them, their performance was still good.

After the start-up press conference, relevant reports from various media have also been released. Although due to the new company's investment in the establishment of a brand-new crew, the media and the industry are still relatively cautious about the prospects of these two projects, and some even directly expressed their dislike, but for these two press conferences, the media basically agreed. There were no negative comments, at least the media had no dissatisfaction with the performance of the new company and the two newcomers at the press conference.

The media and the industry's cautious evaluation of the project's prospects and even pessimism will be based on the box office ratings and word-of-mouth after the release of movies and TV dramas in the future. There were no accidents or accidents at the press conference, and the media reports were published smoothly, achieving the effect of publicity. These two press conferences are considered a success.

Of course, after the two start-up press conferences, in addition to the relevant reports of the two crews, Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and others used the crowdfunding proceeds to form a company to promote parkour, and the news of organizing regular parkour events was also widely reported. The media reported it. After this news came out, it also caused quite a lot of discussion on the Huaxia Internet, and the word parkour has once again become a hot topic on the Huaxia Internet.

However, all preparations for the first parkour event in the United States have been completed and will be held soon. The hot discussion on the Internet in Huaxia did not have much impact on the game.

In this first parkour event, Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and others had a great time, and the whole process of the event went smoothly. Overall, Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and others were very satisfied with the first parkour event held by the sports promotion company under their name.

Parkour is a relatively small sport, and it is a new event. As the organizer of the event, the company did not receive any high-value sponsorship from well-known brands, nor did it sell the broadcasting rights of TV stations. A webcast right has been issued. Overall, the event was a loss of money. But for Xiao Yao and others, the loss of money in the first competition was completely expected and completely acceptable.

Running a tournament is a long-term process, and Xiao Yao and others are even prepared to lose money for several consecutive years. Anyway, the company currently has sufficient funds on the books. After the other proceeds from the follow-up Parkour movie arrive in the account, the same proportion of proceeds will continue to be invested in the company, which is expected to withstand several years of losses. What Xiao Yao and others are more concerned about is the effect and influence of this event. From this point of view, the event was very successful.

The organization and process of this event, the fairness of the event results, and the enthusiasm of parkour enthusiasts are all very good. There is no large-scale, high-impact, and mature parkour event in this world. After this competition, this event has successfully established its reputation and authoritative status among parkour enthusiasts. With the progress of the follow-up competitions, the influence gradually expands, and there is no worry about not being able to get quality sponsorships and selling TV broadcasting rights in the future.

Xiao Yao and others did not invest in this company to make money. According to Xiao Yao's idea, if the competition is to make money in the future, the prize money of the competition will be increased, the treatment of the participants will be improved, the number of winners and awards will be increased, and some special awards will be set up separately. In the future, Xiao Yao even plans to classify the competitions, set up branches in other countries, conduct smaller trials and low-level competitions according to different geographical areas, and gradually form them into a system.

Xiao Yao has many ideas, but he doesn't have the interest and patience to realize them one by one himself. Judging from the performance of the first competition this time, Xiao Yao felt that his vision for selecting candidates was very good. After communicating and exchanging these ideas with the relevant person in charge of the company, you can completely count on them to help you realize them one by one.

In fact, a few years later, the sports promotion company invested and established by Xiao Yao and others did turn the parkour event they operated into a very influential sports event. Under the influence of years of promotion and this event, the sport of parkour has also successfully joined the family of the "World X Games" and has become one of the most important events. ) Book friends, pay attention!
