The direct embodiment of the popularity of the short film is in the number of clicks on these four video websites, in just one week, the number of clicks on the short film of the four websites has exceeded 10 million times, which also makes the three video websites that spent money to buy the right to broadcast the short film online feel that it is worth the money. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Originally, Xiao Yao filmed short films just to satisfy one of his wishes, and originally planned to upload it to the website for netizens to watch for free, so the actors he was looking for were all acquaintances who were looking for him to star for free. But when Clermont-Ferrand, France, came across a video website that came to his door, Xiao Yao found that in fact, this short film could also make money. He Xiao Yao really needs a website to spread his works, but the website also needs good and attractive works to attract netizens and earn traffic and clicks.

Traffic is the foundation of a website's survival, and when it comes to works that can obviously increase website traffic, even if it is not suitable for channels and sections that can only be watched by paid members, the website will spend money to buy the right to play. And his work, which won the title of Short Film at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, is undoubtedly the kind of work that can be expected to bring a lot of Internet traffic.

Xiao Yao made money with this short film, and he did not forget the relatives and friends who helped him star in this short film for free. Therefore, when he got the copyright fees for the online broadcast of five websites, he also expressed his gratitude to the actors who starred in this short film. For friends such as Su Chengying, Huang Shi, and Cheng Xi, Xiao Yao simply and directly sent them a red envelope as a thank you. And Lin Shaohua, Ye Jiaying, Xiao Chengru, including Tian Fangzhen, relatives and elders, Xiao Yao carefully selected a gift of equal value and high price to the red envelope and sent it out.

Therefore, when Xiao Yao's short film was discussed on the Internet, Xiao Yao was hiding in school and racking his brains to think about what gifts to give to his relatives and elders. You Fang and Pei Minyi can still help him do the errands, but Xiao Yao still has to make up his own mind about who to send something.

From returning to Shencheng after recording the fast book to the recording of "Singer", to be precise, before Xiao Yao participated in the recording of "Singer", Xiao Yao still had about three weeks of preparation time, during this period, Xiao Yao in addition to preparing red envelopes and gifts for the actors of the short film, attending classes at school, discussing the script of parkour movies with Mu Ying, Zhao Rui and others once a week, and the most important thing is to prepare to participate in the "Singer" program.

As the first kicking singer, Xiao Yao will not appear until the third episode, but even recently because the short film exploded on the Internet, the program team did not reveal the news that Xiao Yao would participate in "Singer" as the first kicking singer in advance, which can also be seen how strict the "Singer" program is to keep the singer's identity secret. Similarly, Xiao Yao can't know in advance who the seven starting singers in the show are. In addition to guessing that there might be his own father Xiao Siqi, he didn't know anything about the other six contestants before the show aired.

However, "Singer" is also a program that is broadcast while recording, and the recording time and broadcast time are about two weeks apart. It wasn't until the week when Xiao Yao left for Xiangnan to record the third episode of the program that Xiao Yao saw the first episode of the program on TV and knew who the seven singers who debuted were in the first place.

Xiao Siqi guessed that Xiao Siqi was indeed in the starting list of seven people, in addition to Xiao Siqi, there are two singers from Treasure Island, one singer from Hong Kong Island, two singers from the mainland and one singer from South Korea. Among these people, the youngest is also about 30 years old Mesozoic, and the older ones are already old-timers who have dominated the music scene for nearly 30 years, and the lineup can be said to be very strong.

Among these people, Xiao Yao is of course most concerned about the performance of his father Xiao Siqi. In the first qualifying competition, Xiao Siqi finally won the third place with an adapted song "The Night I Miss You". This is a relatively safe ranking, as long as the performance in the second episode of the show is not too substandard, their father and son should be able to appear on the same stage at the same time.

The morning and afternoon of the recording of the "Singer" program are arranged for the singer and the live band of the program to rehearse, each singer can have more than half an hour to an hour, and in the evening, the official recording of the program is arranged. Therefore, Xiao Yao did not set off on the day of the recording of the show like the fast book, but arrived in Xiangnan one day in advance.

At about nine o'clock in the morning on the day of the recording of the show, there was a knock on the door of the hotel room where Xiao Yao was staying.

Xiao Yao opened the door and found a beautiful girl in her twenties standing outside the door, and behind her, there was a man carrying a camera.

"Agent?" Xiao Yao asked.

Like the show in the previous life, the "Singer" in this world also arranges an agent for each singer, and the host in Shonan TV is usually the host. Seeing the camera, Xiao Yao immediately guessed the identity of the girl in front of him.

"Hello Xiao Yao, I'm Shen Man, and I'm your agent in the show. Sure enough, the girl smiled and stretched out her hand to Xiao Yao.

"Hello. Xiao Yao stretched out his hand and shook hands with Shen Man, and said with a smile, "Didn't you say ten o'clock?

"We were afraid of traffic jams, so we set off early. Shen Man smiled and asked, "That... Can we go in? Or shall we wait outside for a while?"

In addition to showing the singers' performances on stage, this show will also record some behind-the-scenes content interspersed with the show. The first contact between the singer and the program crew is usually a must-shoot content, and the program director team originally planned to send a film crew to Xiao Yao's school directly to shoot Xiao Yao's dormitory, but Xiao Yao refused on the grounds that he didn't want to disturb his classmates, and after discussing with the program director team, he changed it to start from the hotel. This is one of the reasons why he arrived in Shonan a day earlier.

Nine o'clock in the morning is not early for ordinary people, but for singers and artists, there are many people who are still sleeping lazy at this time. Shen Man was a little worried that Xiao Yao would not get up before he came, but he didn't expect the door to open as soon as he knocked on the door. However, she was also afraid that Xiao Yao had just gotten up, and the room where he was filming would be too messy and would affect his image, so she asked such a question.

"Ahh

Shen Man walked into Xiao Yao's room with a hint of curiosity and looked around. Because it's a hotel room, the pillows and quilts on the bed are scattered, and they are kept in the state after getting up, but other than that, the rest of the place is relatively tidy.

"What is this?Is the score of the song to be sung today?" Shen Man suddenly noticed a few blank sheets of paper and a pencil on the desk, so he guessed with a smile, "Get up early in the morning to prepare?" I said why did you get up so early, it seems that you attach great importance to today's performance." Huh, why do you think there's still a painting?"

"Uh..."Xiao Yao touched his nose a little embarrassed and said, "That's not a song score, I've been writing a script recently, and I'm revising and refining it just now, and those paintings are storyboards." ”

"Huh?" Shen Man and the cameraman behind him were a little dumbfounded. A singer is still writing a script on the day of the competition? Should this be said that he has a big heart or does he not take the show seriously, and does not take the starting singers he wants to challenge in his eyes?

"Actually, I've already prepared the song I'm going to sing tonight. Xiao Yao definitely couldn't let them think about the latter, so he quickly went on to explain.

The agent and the singer are tied together. If the singer is eliminated, then his agent in this show will no longer appear, so of course Shen Man hopes that Xiao Yao can go as far as possible, so Shen Man wants to ask the director team to cut it out and not broadcast it. But after coming in, he couldn't have nothing at all, so Shen Man began to find other topics to talk to Xiao Yao again.

"I see that your hair seems to be a little wet, did you get up in the morning and take a shower?" Shen Man noticed Xiao Yao's hair.

"Well, I went to the hotel gym in the morning to work out for a while, then I had breakfast, and you came not long after you came back and took a shower, if you arrived a little early, I probably wouldn't have come back yet. Xiao Yao nodded.

"The living habits are so good!" Shen Man praised with a smile. This is no problem, you can take it out and broadcast it.

"Your rehearsal with the band is scheduled for the afternoon, but you still have to record a pre-game interview with a kicking singer in the morning, can you leave now?" Shen Man briefly chatted with Xiao Yao and told him about today's itinerary.

"Wait a minute, my agent may not be up yet, I'll ask first. With that, Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and began to call Fang Ying.

Although most of the time in this show is the agent and the singer in the show together, when the singer performs, there will also be a fixed shot of the singer's real agent and the agent in the show standing together. Therefore, this time to record the show, Fang still came with Xiao Yao. Since the meeting time that the director team said before was ten o'clock, it is very likely that Fang still hasn't gotten up at this time.

"Sorry, please wait for her for twenty minutes. Putting down the phone, Xiao Yao said to Shen Man with a slight apology. Fang still hadn't gotten up yet.

"It's okay, we arrived early. Shen Man hurriedly waved his hand and said. Although I was surprised that the agent got up later than the artist, I couldn't bear it on my face and didn't show it at all.

More than twenty minutes later, Fang Yi, who had cleaned up, also knocked on Xiao Yao's door. After introducing each other to Shen Man, a few people set off for the Shonan TV station building.

The interview was not in a studio, but in a dedicated interview studio. The recording time was not very long, and it was mainly about asking questions such as how he felt when he was sure that he would be the first singer to kick in the gym this season, what he knew and evaluated the other starting singers, and what he expected if he would be successful in the gym. Xiao Yao's answer was decent, and there was nothing surprising about it. But considering Xiao Yao's age and the first time he was on the same stage with those big names in the industry, Xiao Yao's calm expression and decent answer were actually quite unexpected by the on-site interview with the director.

Only by becoming a regular singer can you enter the singer preparation room marked with a number, and the singer who kicks the hall cannot enter until he successfully becomes a regular singer, so after the interview, Shen Man took Xiao Yao and Fang Yi to the temporary lounge. The environment of the temporary lounge is also very good, and the program team not only prepared a guitar for Xiao Yao, but also an additional gift.

After entering the temporary rest room, Xiao Yao picked up the guitar in the room and started playing. Shen Man pointed to a box on the table and said: "The program team has given the singer a privilege, do you want to know." ”

"Think, you can help me take a look. Xiao Yao smiled as he plucked the strings.

"Good. Shen Man opened the box, took out a card from it and read, "You can watch the rehearsal and singing of the other six starting singers live, once!"

"How is it? Do you want to see it?" Shen Man said with a smile and raised the card in his hand.

"Yes. Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, and continued, "I can go to their rehearsals, so can they watch me?"

"Of course not, otherwise how can it be called privilege!" Shen Man said, "Now except for the host, the other singers don't know who the kicking singer is, if they can go to see your rehearsal, then don't they know who the kicking singer is? Although the host knows that the kicking singer is you, you must keep it secret from other singers, and you can't tell him." Later, when they rehearsed, we went to sit in the audience and watched. Because the lights are bright on the stage and the lights are very dark under the stage, we can see them, they can't see us. ”

"That's right. Xiao Yao suddenly realized, "Then I won't go!"

"Huh?" Shen Man was dumbfounded again, and asked a little anxiously, "Why don't you go, it's a good opportunity to scout the enemy, aren't you curious about what songs they can sing?"

"Curious, I want to see it too. But I think I can watch their rehearsals, but they can't watch my rehearsals, which feels a little unfair, and I think that after I watch their rehearsals, I may be affected psychologically, maybe I will be nervous or something. I thank the program team for this privilege, but I'll just stay here and play guitar. Xiao Yao shrugged.

"Director, what should I do?" Shen Man got up and asked the director of the film crew in the room. The part that went to the hotel to pick up Xiao Yao just now was relatively simple, just Shen Man took the two cameramen to go, and now there is a film crew in the room to follow the director, Shen Man can't make up his own mind, so he can only ask the director.

The director of the film crew can't make the decision, Xiao Yao is planning to peek at the rehearsals of other singers, but they will be edited and played, if he doesn't go, there will be a lot of broadcast material missing. But if you insist on him going? The director of the film crew simply took out the phone and called Tao Ran, the chief director and producer, and asked him for instructions.

"Okay. The director of the film crew hung up the phone and said to Shen Man helplessly, "Director Tao said, whatever he wants." ”

"Before the show starts recording, can I pretend to be a videographer and go to the singers' lounge?" Xiao Yao put down his guitar and asked, "They will definitely guess who the kicking singers are, I want to listen to what they will say, will they guess that it is me." ”

"Huh?" Shen Man and the director of the film crew were dumbfounded again, "What the hell are you going to make trouble?"

"Yes!" This time, the director of the film crew did not ask for any more instructions, but directly clapped the decision. It's the same peeping, this is just a substitute for Xiao Yao peeking at the material clips of the singers' rehearsals, and eavesdropping on others talking about themselves behind their backs is different from peeking at the nature of the rehearsal.
