While Xiao Yao was busy with the post-production of the animated film, preparations for that parkour movie had already begun.

In late March, this movie crowdfunding project passed the review of a well-known crowdfunding website in the United States and was officially launched. Before the crowdfunding project passed the review, the official website of the film was built, and the official website of the film was opened the day before the crowdfunding project was launched on the website.

With the official website of the movie, the project description of this project on the crowdfunding website only briefly introduces that this is a film project, and the link to the official website of the film is given below. For the specific situation, please go to the official website of the movie to find out.

On the official website of the movie, in addition to posting part of the script outline, the main thing is to announce the list of the main creators and their biographical information.

The list of the main creative personnel announced includes the main positions of the producer, director, screenwriter, action director and main actors. There is a high rate of overlap in the names in these job lists, and all of them wear multiple hats, giving the impression that there are four or five people who want to save up a movie. From this point of view, it is very much in line with the practice of crowdfunding films. But after looking at the profiles of those creators, it doesn't feel like that.

The most conspicuous of the main creative staff is Xiao Yao, who is listed in these positions.

A young singer and actor from Huaxia, he performed at the Oscars as a member of the band "Immortals" in his early years, and participated in the filming of Eva's swimsuit special last year and did the "Eva Show" He is a member of this year's MLB All-Star Celebrity Game and is one of the MVP winners, his music has been on the Billboard in the United States and the music charts in European countries, and several original songs and music videos have swept the world, and he has been the party to the New York airport hijacking and the robbery and kidnapping of New York Fashion Week.

These things have been reported by media in more than one country, and Xiao Yao's popularity around the world is not low. Even people who seem to be a little unfamiliar with this name at first glance can know who he is after reading the introductions and masterpieces in the materials and looking it up a little.

Another director, Mu Ying, is not well-known, but judging from his personal information, he has not only directed BMW's short films, but also officially directed the shooting of feature films in Hollywood, at least in the film and television industry, he is not a rookie director who is not famous.

Zhao Rui, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting, the three young people in China, are not well-known outside of China, but judging from their personal information, these three are all actors, they are not very old, but they have participated in a lot of film and television works.

Judging from these personal information on the official website of the movie, the five people on the main creator list can be regarded as stars in the entertainment industry, and they are not ordinary grassroots at all, even if their personal income is not enough to support the production cost of a movie, they should have enough resources and channels to attract investment, and there is no need to make a movie through crowdfunding.

Four Chinese acting stars and a Chinese director who mixed with Hollywood went to the crowdfunding website in the United States to crowdfund money to make a movie? For ordinary people, there are people who are happy to watch, but I am afraid that there are not many who are really willing to pay money and invest. However, the target of Xiao Yao and others' crowdfunding this time is not ordinary people, but a specific group.

On the front page of the official website of the movie, there is also a video in a prominent position. This video is the biggest reliance of their film crowdfunding project.

This is a promotional video shot by Xiao Yao, Zhao Tao and Xu Fei together. In the video, there is a scene of the three of them doing parkour sports, and when the three of them stopped, they revealed that the three of them were three members of the YRF team in front of the camera, and told them about their original intention to shoot this parkour movie.

Below this video, there is also a link to the web address. After clicking, you will be connected to the YRF channel on the PV video website. Here, it's an exact same video.

The YRF channel of the PV website is recognized by parkour enthusiasts as the official video distribution channel for this parkour veteran team. Such a video appeared on the YRF channel of the PV website, which undoubtedly confirmed the fact that the three people in the video were three members of the YRF team.

As the initiators of the sport, the three members of the YRF team have never shown their faces in the video, and their identities have always been a mystery to parkour enthusiasts.

Shortly after the kidnapping case at New York Fashion Week the year before last, Xiao Yao used the account of this website to post a video recruiting MV actors, and someone broke the news at that time that Xiao Yao was one of the members of the YRF team, but Xiao Yao never responded publicly, that is, he did not admit it.

This time, the three members of the YRF team not only made a collective appearance, but also joined forces to make a parkour-themed movie, and those parkour enthusiasts were naturally extremely excited and excited.

The three YRF said in the video that this parkour-themed movie was made by parkour people for parkour people. In order to maintain the purity of the film, they did not want any film company or corporate capital to participate in it and affect any aspect of the filmmaking, so they launched this crowdfunding under the condition of their own lack of funds. Since it is the parkour people who make parkour movies, and the veteran team of the initiators of parkour work together to make parkour movies, then of course parkour enthusiasts should support it.

Therefore, not long after the crowdfunding project was launched, many netizens generously joined the crowdfunding project.

The crowdfunding project is going well, and Mu Ying, who is in charge of this matter, also feels a lot more relaxed. After there seemed to be no problem here, he also shifted his focus to the preliminary selection of actors who looked for crew members, scene selection and supporting roles in advance as Xiao Yao said. Although there are still more than three months before the planned start-up time, it takes a lot of time and energy to do these things.

Although this movie crowdfunding project was carried out on a crowdfunding site in the United States, parkour was already a popular sport in the world, and the news quickly spread among parkour enthusiasts in many countries around the world. On the one hand, this made this crowdfunding go more smoothly, and it also made the news quickly spread to the country of several protagonists.

The world's popular new extreme sports parkour was actually initiated by a few young people in China, and this news also greatly stimulated China's parkour enthusiasts and many ordinary people. Of course, the excitement of this is naturally indispensable to the media reporters in China. The entertainment reporters who are most interested in this, because these three founders of the movement are all Chinese entertainment stars.

The word parkour has once again become a hot topic in China, and the sport has also set off another wave of enthusiasm in China. At the same time, several parties also received exclusive interview invitations from many media reporters.

At this time, Xiao Yao was still concentrating on making soundtracks for animated films and other post-production, so he was naturally grateful for this kind of interview invitation. But fortunately, the protagonist this time is not Xiao Yao alone, as well as Zhao Rui and Xu Fei. The two of them readily agreed to the interview with the media reporters, satisfying the curiosity of the reporters and countless parkour enthusiasts and some ordinary people.

In the interview, the two told reporters in detail about the birth of the movement and the process of their team, and also described in detail the various relevant situations of the film from the proposal of creative ideas, project establishment, plan crowdfunding, script writing and current preparation progress.

From the interview between the two, it seems that this sport was conceived by Xiao Yao in order to improve his action style when he was filming in the crew, and Zhao Rui and Xu Fei of the same crew saw it and learned to play with him, so they formed such a team. Although the idea of sharing the video on the website was Chen Xiaoting's idea, it was Xiao Yao's idea to spread the sport name and team name to foreign websites and even to the world on foreign websites. And when it comes to shooting parkour-themed movies and using crowdfunding to raise funds for the movie, it is also Xiao Yao's idea.

Although parkour enthusiasts generally recognize YRF as the founder team, the real inventor of this sport is actually Xiao Yao alone.

Compared with the best newcomer actor who won the TV series "Feitian Award" for the role of "Chengying" in that TV series, the achievement of creating a new sport that is popular in the world is not small, and what is even more incredible is that Xiao Yao was only a junior high school student from the second to the third year of junior high school at that time, and this was made by the way for his own actions when he was filming in the crew.

After these reports came out, Xiao Yao, the demon, once again became the object of heated discussion on the Internet.

At a time when the media and the Internet were hotly discussing Xiao Yao's parkour a few years ago, Xiao Yao was busy with animated movies.

After the post-production of the film is completed, what Xiao Yao and Tong Luo have to do is to find the distributor of the film, submit the film for review, and then determine the release date of the film.

Xiao Yao has already made up his mind not to run roadshows during the release of this movie. Roadshows are an important means of publicity for many film distributors during the release of films, and they will also affect the scheduling of films in theaters, which in turn will affect the box office of films. In terms of film revenue, distributors generally adopt a sharing model to cooperate with producers. Xiao Yao does not run roadshows, which is not conducive to the promotion of the film and the theater schedule, and it is not conducive to the box office of the movie, which is inconsistent with the interests of the distributor.

Judging from Xiao Yao's own fame and his family's resources and connections, his films should be able to find first-class film distributors in China to cooperate. But first-class publishers are generally large companies with deep pockets, and their tolerance for Xiao Yao will be lower.

Although Xiao Yao has always held titles such as demon and genius, this first feature film is also a good gimmick, but Xiao Yao's movie is an animated movie.

At present, animated films in China generally lose money. Even if it seems that the reputation and box office are good on the surface, due to the huge production costs, it is basically a loss of money in the end. The production cost of Xiao Yao's animated film is also quite high, and the distributor wants to make money, which is very high for the box office of the movie.

Although Xiao Yao is very famous and his appeal should be not small, this is an animated movie, and Xiao Yao will not appear in the movie screen. The distributor feels that just by hanging a bunch of behind-the-scenes names, it is really unknown how many fans Xiao Yao can attract into the theater.

originally didn't have much confidence in the box office prospects of this animated film, but now that Xiao Yao didn't even do a roadshow in advance, those first-class distributors naturally showed a lot less interest in Xiao Yao's movie.

However, Xiao Yao just doesn't run roadshows, and he is not too lazy to do any publicity, and as a producer, his interests are also linked to the box office revenue of the movie. As long as there is no roadshow, Xiao Yao is looking for a film distributor to work with, but there are fewer choices, a little more difficult, and it is not completely impossible to find.

Even if those first-class distributors with deep pockets refuse to cooperate with Xiao Yao because of Xiao Yao's conditions, with his fame and network resources, there are still people in slightly inferior distributors who are willing to cooperate with Xiao Yao because of Xiao Yao's name and the quality of this movie.

To be honest, Xiao Yao is very confident in the quality and prospects of this movie, as long as the distributor's publicity and distribution ability is passable, as for the publicity, he doesn't have much demand for those distributors at all. All he wants is someone who can help him get the movie into theaters. In cooperation with some distributors, the producer can also occupy more of the right to speak, and Xiao Yao can't ask for it.

Under Ye Jiaying's introduction, Xiao Yao finally chose to cooperate with a relatively medium-sized film distributor in Huaxia and entrusted the distribution of the film to the other party.

Once you've chosen a distributor, the next step is to submit your film for review. The original version of this animated film has a rating of G in the United States, which is a movie rating suitable for all ages, and there is nothing uncomfortable in the film. When Xiao Yao made this movie, he also deliberately increased the proportion of yellow people in the human characters in the film, and even the most important captain role was changed to a Chinese, so the review process of this film went very smoothly, and the release permit was successfully obtained in less than a week.

When I got the release permit, it was time for the end of April and the beginning of May. From late June to the end of August and the beginning of September, there is only a little more than a month left for the summer vacation.

The summer season is a very important golden period in the film market, and it has always been a gathering of blockbusters, and the competition is very fierce. In order to avoid becoming cannon fodder on the summer battlefield, some films will deliberately avoid this schedule.

This year, there have been several domestic local films with well-known directors, well-known actors, and known as commercial productions in Huaxia alone, which have been announced to be released in the summer file, and several so-called commercial blockbusters imported from Hollywood have also been announced to be released in the summer file. Every movie feels menacing in terms of publicity, and it has the flavor of a big battle in the summer.

For the pre-screening promotion of a movie, a month is more appropriate, normally speaking, Xiao Yao's animated film can be released in time for the summer file. So is Xiao Yao, the animated film that took two years to produce, fearlessly enter this summer battlefield and compete with those blockbusters, or temporarily avoid the edge, postpone or release it in advance, avoid the summer file, and choose a schedule that is not so competitive in comparison? For Xiao Yao, the answer will definitely be the former.

After getting the release permit, Xiao Yao set the release time of the movie in late June at the beginning of the summer season without hesitation. On the one hand, Xiao Yao is a character who does not admit defeat, and he is full of confidence in this animated film, and he is not afraid to be tough with other so-called blockbusters! On the other hand, whether it is advancing or postponing the release time of the movie, it has had a great impact on Xiao Yao's work.
