Entertaining Children

Shen Xi's TV drama project has been aired. Although Yandian's movie has not yet been released, a series of promotional activities have been carried out before. Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong took the leading actors to participate in some variety shows for publicity. It is completely transparent, at least many people already know that the four new actors are the leading actors of a new movie directed by Zhao Rui.

Bringing the old to the new is a very common model in the entertainment industry to promote newcomers. After each David TV announced the program list of the New Year's Eve party, the audience easily recognized the relationship between the three performers on each TV's New Year's Eve party. As a result, the young film and television company made an all-out attack, and the fact that the five star shareholders each brought newcomers to the five David TV New Year's Eve party soon became a hot topic on the Internet.

After the film's premiere and related media reports came out, the topic became even hotter, and it once rushed to the top three on the hot search list.

The four protagonists of the film project can also be said to be helping to promote the upcoming film, but the TV series has obviously finished broadcasting, and it seems that it is not worth the price that Xiao Yao and the others pay for the second round of broadcasting. Are these six newcomers that the young film and television company wants to promote?

It is not unusual for a film and television company to promote newcomers, but it is quite rare for a film and television company to promote ten newcomers at once.

While netizens were lamenting how vigorous Xiao Yao's company was, some good media revealed another news, that is, although the ten newcomers were all classmates of Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, Zhu Zitong and others, None of them are contracted artists of Young Film and Television Company!

After the news spread, the media and netizens were even more surprised. Even artists who are not from their own company are so praised. Everyone has seen the work style of this young company, and they feel that people like Xiao Yao are too vigorous.

Considering Xiao Yao's past performance, some people think that Xiao Yao and the others deliberately created such a situation to bring so many people to different TV's New Year's Eve parties. The reason for this situation is nothing more than Xiao Yao's playfulness, and he took Zhao Rui and others to play a big game together.

The heat fermented beforehand also made the audience pay more attention to the performance of these five groups of people at the New Year's Eve party.

Everyone is not too worried about Xiao Yao and the other five. Although the five of them are very young, they are not newcomers. Even Nina Aiyiguli, who is relatively the least famous among the five, has acted in many film and television dramas in the past two years. It has been popular for a long time, and the number of fans is quite large. The media and the public also have a certain understanding of her. Instead, everyone paid more attention to the performance of the ten newcomers.

These ten newcomers are all actors, and the New Year's Eve party is usually singing and dancing, and there are very few sketches and other shows to show off their acting skills. So how can they, who are relatively unfamiliar, perform at this kind of party?

At the New Year's Eve party, these newcomers performed very well, and it can even be said that they brought some small surprises to the audience.

The four basic homework for performance majors are sound, stage, shape, and appearance. Among them, sound refers to vocal music, which refers to singing, and form refers to body, including dance. The ten newcomers are all majors in the acting department. They have studied for four years. They may not be professional in vocal music and dance, but at least they have a foundation. The senior Chen Zhongxuan who Xiao Yao met in the 101 program that year was blind in both singing and dancing was a special case. Xiao Yao has always wondered how he graduated from the acting department back then.

Of course, in addition to the fact that these ten newcomers have good foundations in singing and dancing, there is also a more important point that Xiao Yao personally designed the programs they performed for them.

The two groups of newcomers led by Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong all performed episodes from the movie. The episodes used in the movie are all Xiao Yao's songs, so they all sing Xiao Yao's songs. Xiao Yao's songs are relatively popular, and with an original singer like Xiao Yao, it is difficult to shine. But they didn't just sing a cover at the New Year's Eve party.

According to their individual abilities and voice characteristics, Xiao Yao made some adaptations to the songs to make them more suitable for their voice conditions. The audience has a different feeling, and the overall effect is quite good.

As for the six newcomers led by Xiao Yao and the other three, the show has nothing to do with the TV series that has already been broadcast. In this way, Xiao Yao has more room to play. Among the six people who are good at singing, let them play a more difficult song, and if they are good at dancing, then let them sing and dance, or even put on a dance show. Anyway, Xiao Yao has a lot of things in his mind, so he can come up with a program that suits them and is brilliant.

The ten newcomers performed quite well in different satellite TV's New Year's Eve parties, and Zhao Rui and the others were also okay. The only thing that disappointed some viewers was Xiao Yao, who was the most famous of these people and recognized as the strongest.

It’s not that Xiao Yao’s performance was not good, and he fell short of the standard at the scene, but that Xiao Yao sang an old song at the New Year’s Eve party, but did not come up with a new song, which once again broke his belief that there must be original and new songs in public performances. Tradition disappointed some viewers who were expecting to hear Xiao Yao's new song. Those who were disappointed by this actually existed as early as when the New Year's Eve party program list was announced. It's just that not everyone will check the program list before the New Year's Eve party. After the party, more people feel disappointed about it.

After the New Year's Eve party, there is a three-day New Year's Day holiday.

Zhao Rui and the others were busy taking people to do a road show promotion, while Xiao Yao's brothers enjoyed a New Year's Day holiday.

Not long after the New Year's Day holiday, Xiao Yao received good news: the film sample of "Donkey Gets Water" submitted for review before New Year's Day was successfully reviewed, and it was not cut.

In fact, it is very common for a sample to go through review. After all, it has to pass the review and get the dragon label before the movie can be released. However, it is not so common for the samples submitted for review to pass at one time without cutting. Xiao Yao's movie is a realistic one, and it was a bit unexpected for him to be able to pass it uncut at one time, and he deserves to be happy.

After being happy, Xiao Yao will start the follow-up work.

First of all, it is necessary to determine the cooperative distribution company, and then the theater chain, and together set the release date of the movie. The next step is to formulate a publicity plan before the movie is released. During this period, Xiao Yao will continue to perfect the script of the TV series that he collaborated with Yin with the screenwriter, and discuss with the documentary director hired by the company about the documentary project "A Bite of China".

In addition, in addition to the projects in these companies, Xiao Yao personally received a lot of invitations to performances and events, some of which moved Xiao Yao's heart.

The several projects in the company sound like a lot of things to do, but in fact Xiao Yao doesn't feel very busy.

Regarding the matter of movies, people from film and television companies and distribution companies are responsible for the specific work. Xiao Yao only needs to participate in the discussion, control the general direction, and make some decisions. At present, the publicity plan is still in the formulation stage, and there is no need for him to do anything specific.

Regarding the script of the TV series, Xiao Yao has already outlined the outline, and hired a screenwriter to help him improve the details. Xiao Yao only made the request and final review, and did not bother to think about the details and burdens.

As for the documentary, Xiao Yao only set the style and goals based on the original version in his previous life. The specific places to shoot, what to shoot, and how to shoot are still decided by the executive producers, directors, and photographers themselves.

The most important thing is that Xiao Yao has now graduated with a bachelor’s degree. Although he is studying as a graduate student under the name of Professor Shen Hongshu of Yandian, he has discussed the courses and study arrangements with Professor Shen, and he can adjust according to his time. The time is very different from that of ordinary graduate students, and there is no such thing as a teaching assistant or research assistant in Yandian, so the time is still very free.

It is precisely because of the relative freedom and abundance in time that Xiao Yao accepted a rather special invitation for an event.

The invitation to this event is the celebrity game player and guest performer of this year's Huaxia Basketball League All-Star Weekend.

Beginning this year, the Huaxia Professional Basketball League has also imitated the American NBA and held a celebrity game during the All-Star Weekend.

All-Star Weekend is as much a basketball event as it is an entertainment event. For this kind of event, many artists contact the organizers actively to try to participate. Some people who cannot be players or performers will be arranged by sponsors or buy tickets to be spectators on the spot in order to show their faces. As for Xiao Yao's side, he received the invitation letter early before fighting for it, which is also very rare.

However, Xiao Yao once won the mvp in China's star charity basketball game, and won the tie-in mvp in the NBA celebrity game. His basketball skills and court performance are obvious to all, and his reputation is the top among young stars. The China Professional Basketball League Xiao Yao is naturally one of the choices for participating in the celebrity competition.

Considering his ability in singing and dancing, he once danced with the cheerleaders during the halftime break of China's charity basketball game, and sang during the halftime break of the NBA Masters game. The Basketball Association and the organizer not only took the initiative to contact Xiao Yao's studio issued an invitation letter, and added the item of being a guest performer.

Xiao Yao has a friendship with Chen Yang, the chairman of the Basketball Association, and has taken photos for both the men's and women's national basketball teams. He knows a lot of star professional players. When time permits, Xiao Yao is still willing to participate in basketball activities . Xiao Yao happily agreed to participate in the celebrity game, but he did not agree to the guest performer, but bargained with the Basketball Association and the organizer.

The invitation letter is to invite Xiao Yao to be a guest performer, and there is no specified time. When the two sides communicated at the beginning, the organizers meant that both the opening performer and the halftime performer were fine, and they didn’t even want to be a performer in the Masters Game, but could be a performer in the Rookie Match or the All-Star Game. But Xiao Yao did not agree to be a guest performer, but recommended another guest candidate.

This year's Huaxia Professional Basketball League's All-Stars will end in the middle of January, that is, the 18th, 19th, and 20th days.

When Xiao Yao received the invitation to the NBA All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game, the sample of "Donkey Gets Water" had already passed the review. Xiao Yao plans to release the movie after the Lantern Festival, that is, at the end of February. Movies released at the end of February can already start pre-release promotional activities in mid-to-late January. The All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game is such a good occasion, of course Xiao Yao will not let it go.

But this is a basketball event after all. If Hong Guoguo said that Xiao Yao's new movie will be released at the end of February, Xiao Yao himself would feel a little ugly, not to mention whether the organizer would agree. So Xiao Yao put the purpose of promoting the film into the performance program.

"Donkey Gets Water" is a comedy-drama film with a realistic theme, not an action film. If you want to promote the film from the performance, dancing will definitely not achieve the goal, you can only sing. There is only one song in this movie, and that song is not sung by Xiao Yao, but by Sun Tingting, so Xiao Yao's request to the organizer is to invite Sun Tingting to be a guest performer in the Masters Competition and sing that song Movie theme song "I Want You".

Sun Tingting had never officially released a song work before, and that song hadn't been released yet. The organizers are not sure about Sun Tingting's singing level. Fortunately, the official version of the song had already been recorded, but it hadn't been released yet, so Xiao Yao sent the official version of the song to the relevant person in charge of the organizer.

After listening to the official version of the song sung by Sun Tingting, considering Sun Tingting's reputation, the relationship between Sun Tingting and Xiao Yao, the relationship between Xiao Yao and Chen Yang, Guo Qi and others, it is not impossible for the organizer to make Sun Tingting a guest performer. Accepted, but without Xiao Yao's performance, I still feel a little reconciled.

Even though Xiao Yao explained that he would go up and play the guitar accompaniment to Sun Tingting when she performed live, but since he also explained that it was a solo and not a chorus, he only accompanied and did not speak, the organizer still asked Xiao Yao to perform a show by himself at that time, and took the initiative It was proposed that the programs of the two could be put together.

Xiao Yao, who has never been afraid of "dog abuse" for this opportunity to come to the door to show his affection in public, nodded and agreed without thinking long.

Almost half a month later, the release date of the movie "Donkey Gets Water" was confirmed, and the publicity plan was basically finalized. Regarding the documentary matter, Xiao Yao has already finished talking with several executive producers, directors, and photographers in charge, and moved to the preliminary research and production cost estimation stage. For the TV series, Xiao Yao and several screenwriters completed the first draft of the script, and the film and television company and Yin Studio have already started the preparation of the crew based on the first draft of the script.

Most of the work at hand can be temporarily put down, and Xiao Yao's mind is focused on the upcoming basketball game and the subsequent movie promotion.

All-Star Weekend is just over a month away from the movie's release. According to the original publicity plan, basically all publicity activities will be after the Masters. But if Sun Tingting sang that song at the Celebrity Game to have the effect of promoting the movie, he had to release the song in advance, and at least let some people know that the song Sun Tingting sang was the theme song of the movie .

Three days before the start of the celebrity competition, the official version of the song "I Want You" sung by Sun Tingting was released simultaneously on several major music websites in China. Along with the song, there is also an MV for this song.

At the beginning of the MV, in addition to the title of the song and the singer, the subtitles on the screen also specifically wrote the words "theme song of the movie "Donkey Gets Water". In the middle part of the mv, some scenes from the movie are also interspersed. Basically, this mv can also be viewed as a trailer.
