Entertaining Children

   Chapter 778

  Guo Qi is an athlete, not a singer. Of course, it is impossible to listen to the ridicule of those netizens. He really went to Xiao Yao to help him or the men's basketball players write songs. This time it was the women's basketball players who sent out promotional photos and promotional songs and videos, and it had nothing to do with him as a men's basketball player. He posted that Weibo only because he is also a basketball player and is familiar with Chen Nuo and Xiao Yao. Everyone on the Internet was discussing the promotional photos Xiao Yao took to the women's basketball players and ran out to join in the fun. That’s all."

  Even Guo Qi, the male basketball player, couldn’t help but ran out to "get the heat", which shows that the topical nature of the women’s basketball promotional photos has been raised. Of course, Guo Qi is not the only celebrity who took advantage of this matter to "snap up the heat".

  From the release of the promotional photos, to the online release of videos and songs, the promotion of the women's basketball players for the World Championships has always run through. In the context of the entire network discussion, this matter quickly became the hottest topic on the Internet in recent times. The women's basketball team's participation in the World Championships is a good thing to win glory for the country. There is no controversy. Many stars from all walks of life also ran out to join in the fun just like Guo Qi.

Many celebrities in the sports, fashion and entertainment circles have reposted the promotional photos of a certain or several women’s basketball players and the music video on their personal social media such as Weibo. By the way, cheer for the women’s basketball girls. , I wish them good results in the World Championships.

  But as one of the parties involved in this incident, it can even be said that it was the instigator, but Xiao Yao remained silent and did not make any movements.

  The photos, songs, and videos were all completed by Xiao Yao years ago, and they were handed over to the publicity and distribution department of the Basketball Association, the women's basketball players and Qi Jia Studio at that time. The release of this work was conducted by Qijia Studio, the Basketball Association and the women's basketball players after three parties negotiated. Xiao Yao did not participate in it, nor did he participate in the promotion of promotional photos, promotional songs and videos.

Not only that, there was a lot of discussion about the promotion photos and the promotion song on the Internet. When various stars cheered for the women's basketball players on personal social media, Xiao Yao continued to play for the women's basketball team from beginning to end. The girls cheer on and wish them good results in the World Championships have not been posted.

  Whether it is a photo or a song, Xiao Yao is very confident in his work. At the time of delivery, Xiao Yao had already informed the basketball association and the people in Qijia Studio that he would not participate in the release and publicity work. Now the photos and songs are unsurprisingly become hot spots, bringing the topic of the Women's Basketball World Championships hot, and has achieved Xiao Yao's original goal. Xiao Yao naturally has no interest in joining the fun again.

  At this time, Xiao Yao, apart from busy asking teachers and classmates to help tutor the lessons they had taken a few days ago, the only concern was whether Ye Jiaying would like Zhan Youcheng's story and plan to make it into a movie.

  One week after the issue of People magazine was published by Zhan Youcheng, Xiao Yao received a call from Ye Jiaying.

  In a period of time, there is not only one hot topic. The hottest topic recently is naturally the issue of women's basketball players releasing promotional photos and promotional music before they go to the World Championships, but that is a matter of the sports, fashion and entertainment circles. In terms of social and people's livelihood, the hot topic is the deeds of Zhan Youcheng reported in "People".

  After reading the article in People magazine under the recommendation of Xiao Chengru, Ye Jiaying was indeed very interested in Zhan Youcheng's deeds. But as her first film, Ye Jiaying was very cautious, and did not immediately make up her mind.

  In the past week, as this report has been seen by more and more people, there have been more and more discussions about Zhan Youcheng on the Internet, and heated discussions have formed on the Internet. In addition to the quality requirements for the first film she directed, Ye Jiaying naturally hopes to have a good performance at the box office. As for such a hotly debated subject, once his deeds are made into a movie, many people will be attracted to the theater because of this, and the box office is estimated to be not too ugly. This also contributed to Ye Jiaying's final determination and chose Zhan Youcheng's deeds as the content of the first film she directed.

  If you want to adapt a novel into a film and television work, you need to get the author’s authorization first. And if you want to adapt a story reported by a character into a film and television work, it is useless to find the reporter who wrote the report, and the producer needs to obtain the authorization of the character himself. In other words, if Ye Jiaying wants to make Zhan Youcheng's story into a movie, he must first obtain Zhan Youcheng's authorization.

Xiao Yao did not disclose Zhan Youcheng's specific address and contact information in that report. At the request of Zhan Youcheng, Xiao Yao only took some photos of Zhan Youcheng's people and inside the store. The store's name and signs were not photographed, nor were they mentioned in the report. Although it can be known from the report that Zhan Youcheng still lives in Wuyou County, it is impossible for Ye Jiaying to go to shops in Wuyou County, so in desperation, Ye Jiaying can only start with the reporter who wrote this report. After all, to be able to write that interview report, that reporter must know Zhan Youcheng and understand his situation.

  Ye Jiaying immediately contacted the "People" magazine, and directly found the editor in chief of the magazine, inquired about the reporter who wrote the Zhan Youcheng report, and asked to meet. This report was sent directly by the deputy editor-in-chief of the headquarters for publication. The editor-in-chief of People magazine did not know the situation of the special reporter who was a non-staff, so he told Ye Jiaying the contact information of the deputy editor-in-chief of the headquarters.

When Ye Jiaying contacted the deputy editor-in-chief of Xinhua News Agency to inquire about the reporter's situation, the deputy editor-in-chief did not tell Ye Jiaying the reporter's contact information, but after learning about Ye Jiaying's purpose of looking for the reporter, he already got the information. The deputy editor-in-chief who had been asked by Xiao Yao gave Ye Jiaying the contact information of Zhan Youcheng that Xiao Yao had left him.

  This kind of practice aroused some curiosity of Ye Jiaying, but thinking that it was Xinhua News Agency, the reporter had the word special in front of him. Maybe his identity needs to be kept secret, and Ye Jiaying didn't care too much. Since the purpose of contacting Zhan Youcheng has been achieved, the most urgent thing is to contact Zhan Youcheng.

  After getting the contact information, Ye Jiaying did not delay too much, and immediately contacted Zhan Youcheng by phone. After introducing herself, Ye Jiaying also went straight to the point and stated her purpose, to adapt Zhan Youcheng's story into a movie and put it on the big screen. If Zhan Youcheng is willing to do this, she can go to Wuyou County to talk to Zhan Youcheng for specific details immediately.

  Zhan You and Ye Jiaying’s call was also psychologically prepared. He kept his promise and did not tell Ye Jiaying that the reporter who wrote the report was her son. He just said that he had a good impression of Xiao Yao after reading the news reports during the earthquake in the past year and knew that Xiao Yao was an actor. If Ye Jiaying can guarantee that Xiao Yao will play his role in this movie, then authorization is easy to talk about. If this is not guaranteed, then no matter how much Ye Jiaying asks, the budget of the movie, and how strong the cast, he will not. Will agree to the authorization.

  A non-movie person who plays outdoors actually proposed to appoint the main actors of the movie? Ye Jiaying was also very surprised when he heard this condition. Although Ye Jiaying was pleased by others' importance to Xiao Yao, they did not rashly agree to Zhan Youcheng. Instead, they replied that they needed to think about it and perhaps communicate with Xiao Yao himself.

Zhan Youcheng is not eager and has no objection to this. He even emphasized to Ye Jiaying that this condition is not for Ye Jiaying, whoever wants to adapt his deeds into film and television works, let Xiao Yao play his role. conditions of.

  After hanging up Zhan Youcheng's call, Ye Jiaying, of course, wanted to call Xiao Yao the first time. But before calling Xiao Yao, Xiao Chengru came to her office and cared about the progress of her new movie script. In fact, she asked if she planned to adapt Zhan Youcheng's deeds into a movie.

  This report was originally recommended by Xiao Chengru to Ye Jiaying. Seeing Xiao Chengru coming, Ye Jiaying did not rush to call Xiao Yao, but first told Xiao Chengru the result of communication with Zhan Youcheng, and listened to his opinions by the way.

   Hearing that Zhan Youcheng offered such a strange condition, Xiao Chengru was also surprised, and even thought of the phone call Xiao Yao had called him. Now that Ye Jiaying has decided to film Zhan Youcheng’s deeds, there is no such thing as Xiao Yao’s decision to influence Ye Jiaying. Xiao Chengru simply saw that report as Xiao Yao first saw it. It was Xiao Yao’s deeds that were suitable for Zhan Youcheng and suitable for adaptation into a movie. , I told Ye Jiaying about what he recommended specially.

   Xiao Chengru said that, both of them felt that Xiao Yao probably knew that Zhan Youcheng at all, and even knew that Zhan Youcheng would have mentioned this condition for a long time. Therefore, Xiao Chengru, who was very interested in this matter, did not leave, and asked Ye Jiaying to call Xiao Yao using the speakerphone.

   "August 1st, I am grandpa. I ask you, do you know that Zhan Youcheng?" After the call was connected, Xiao Chengru even spoke before Ye Jiaying.

  The phone's caller ID showed Ye Jiaying's number, but Xiao Yao heard Xiao Chengru's voice after connecting. Through this, Xiao Yao also judged that this matter should basically be completed.

"Have you contacted him? Now you know why I didn't let you tell my mom that I recommended her to read the report?" Although only Xiao Chengru's voice was on the phone, it was Ye Jiaying's number. Xiao Yao knew that Ye Jiaying was definitely nearby, and the two of them mostly used hands-free calls, so he replied directly.

  "How did you know him?" Ye Jiaying asked this time. Although Xiao Yao didn't say it explicitly, what he meant in his words obviously admitted that he knew Zhan Youcheng.

   "Zhan Youcheng lives in Wuyou County, and the schools I built are also near Wuyou County. Didn't I take my fans to those schools to deliver things some time ago? I met at that time." Xiao Yao replied.

  "Didn't Zhan Youcheng set up shop in Wuyou County? Those schools of yours are all around the county." Ye Jiaying asked in confusion. Both Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying knew about Xiao Yao's money to rebuild schools in the disaster-stricken areas of Wuyou County.

"Jiang Yan, do you remember? It was the tour guide I sent to the rescue site in the disaster area last year. This time I went to the schools to deliver things, and she was the guide for me." Xiao Yao explained, "Jiang Yan lives at their home. In Wuyou County. When we went this time, we stayed in Wuyou County for one night. Jiang Yan’s parents invited me to their house as a guest. That Zhan Youcheng lived upstairs to Jiang Yan’s house. His business was Jiang Yan. Yan and his family knew it. That day, I heard Jiang Yan's family talk about Zhan Youcheng, so I went upstairs to get to know him." Apart from working as a reporter, Xiao Yao basically didn't conceal Ye Jiaying.

  "Then, did you know that he would mention that condition a long time ago, so you passed me the report to show your mother?" Xiao Chengru interjected.

"Yes." Xiao Yao admitted, "I had a chat with Zhan Youcheng at the time. At that time, I thought his things were very suitable for making a movie, so I asked by the way. As a result, he said that unless I play him, otherwise. Give authorization. I don't want my mother to make this film for me, so I told her about the report through you."

"Did you already know about that report?" Xiao Chengru thought of another question. "When you called me so early that day, it seemed like you were waiting for that issue of "People" to be published. You don't seem to go to school. Are you a habit of buying magazines on the way?"

   "During the interview, I was sitting opposite Zhan Youcheng." Xiao Yao played a word game, but still did not tell Xiao Chengru and Ye Jiaying that the reporter was himself.

   "Okay, I understand." Ye Jiaying said, "Now Zhan Youcheng makes a condition that unless you come to play him, otherwise you won't authorize me, what do you mean? Are you willing to act?"

"Yes." Xiao Yao said simply, "If I don't want to, I won't tell you the report through Grandpa. It's just that this is your first movie, and I don't want you because I decide what to make. But since you decided to make this movie without knowing it was related to me, of course I have to support you!"

   "Oh, I said you kid, the idea in your heart is really awkward! It's so complicated!" Ye Jiaying said dissatisfiedly.

   "Hey," Xiao Yao smiled and turned off the topic, "Then what is your plan? Are the funds in place? How is the preparation of the crew?"

"The first step in making a movie is the script. I haven't got the right to adapt. How can I prepare the crew?" Ye Jiaying said, "But funding is not a problem. Although I haven't started budgeting yet, I have already prepared a certain amount of funds. I have talked about a few investors who have confidence in me. This is the first film I directed. I don’t want to have too many constraints. In terms of funding, I own the majority and become the producer."

"You alone have the final say, that's okay!" Xiao Yao smiled, "The right of adaptation is definitely okay. Zhan Youcheng said that as long as it's me acting, his free license is not a problem. Of course, I'm just that. Once you say it, don’t really tell him that it’s free."

"Okay, although it's the first time for mom to be a director, but it's not the first time to be a producer. Do you still need to teach you to do things?" Ye Jiaying said, "Since the right to adapt is fine, then the first thing to do is to find a screenwriter to write a script Now, screenwriter Xiao, are you interested?"

   "No!" Xiao Yao said immediately.

"Why?" Ye Jiaying said, "This script definitely needs Zhan Youcheng's participation, and we need to find him to perfect a lot of details. Zhan Youcheng appointed you to be the lead role. He must appreciate you very much. You must communicate with him very well. I didn't talk about it just now. Do you want to support my first movie? You haven't written the script!"

"Because it is your first movie, I don't participate in the script writing." Xiao Yao said, "I have been a director and made short films. Movies are the art of directors, and that should be your work. I am. I don’t want to make this movie in the future. Others regard it as a joint work of the two of us, and think that we have completed it together. So it is not only the writing of the script in the early stage, but also the editing, soundtrack, theme song and ending theme of the later stage. I don’t participate in all. In this movie, I don’t do anything except acting."
