Chapter 688: It's Not My Relationship
"Parkour Boys" Parkour?" Hearing the name of the movie reported by Ye Jiaying, a reporter suddenly shouted, "I know!"
"What do you know?" asked the other reporter next to him.
"Parkour! This is the movie that Xiao Yao and they are going to make when they are crowdfunding on the American crowdfunding website!" The reporter said, "This matter was transmitted to Huaxia from the United States, and it was also brought out that Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, and Xu Fei were the veteran team of parkour, YRF, and Xiao Yao was the founder of parkour! At that time, there were many media reports in Huaxia, and there was also a lot of discussion on the Internet!"
Xiao Yao and several people engaged in crowdfunding on the American crowdfunding website to make parkour movies, which led to the fact that the three of them were parkour veteran teams, and Xiao Yao was the founder of parkour in March and April, which was broken by netizens and reported by the media, and a wave of online discussion was formed at that time.
However, that was a few months ago, and the news came out was only crowdfunding, that is, the film was still in the preparation stage, and the time of filming was not even revealed, and the media and netizens discussed it for a while, and it did not form a sustained heat.
These reporters squatting at the airport are entertainment gossip reporters and belong to the category of paparazzi. They are familiar with celebrity scandals and gossip, but they are not so sensitive to news about celebrities' works.
Although they also knew the news, it was a few months ago, and most of Xiao Yao's news recently was related to the animated movie he was releasing recently, so when they saw Xiao Yao at the airport, they didn't immediately think of this live-action movie that was in the preparation period, and it wasn't until Ye Jiaying said the word parkour that a reporter remembered it.
"Yes, I remembered it too!" another reporter said suddenly, "I remember that I had seen the official website of the movie at the time, and the main creators on it were Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting, and there seems to be a Chinese director in the United States, no wonder they want to go to the United States to shoot!"
"In March and April, they were still crowdfunding to find money, so they went to the United States to start filming, and they were efficient enough!" a reporter commented.
"Three months is actually not very fast!, but Xiao Yao's main energy in the past three months should be on the post-production, theater scheduling and publicity of that animated film, so that it can be prepared to start filming in three months, which is also rare!" said another reporter.
"The most important thing is that the animated movie is still being released, Xiao Yao doesn't even care about the box office of the follow-up movie, so he just threw away the Huaxia thing and went to the United States to make a new movie, which is big enough!" a reporter sighed.
"The box office of 1.1 billion is already profitable, so I don't want to care about it, right?" said the reporter who spoke in front, "Besides, even if he doesn't leave, I haven't seen Xiao Yao continue to promote anything during the period after the movie was released!"
Several reporters walked and chatted and walked out of the airport together. None of them are ready to continue squatting at the airport, and plan to go back first to report that Xiao Yao and others went to the United States to shoot parkour movies. With this news, their mission today is considered complete.
In the afternoon of the same day, the news that Xiao Yao and several others went to the United States to film appeared in some online entertainment media. As soon as this news came out, many media followed up and reprinted it.
Zhao Rui, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting all have brokerage companies. When preparing for this matter, Zhao Rui and others did not let the company know, but after the crowdfunding website was exposed a few months ago, their company naturally knew.
Its artists invest their own money in making movies, and they don't use the company's resources, which is equivalent to creating resources by themselves, which is a good thing, and the agency is happy to see this kind of thing come to fruition, and has also done some support accordingly. For example, after the incident was exposed, Zhao Rui and Xu Fei accepted a lot of media interviews, and their brokerage companies did a lot of work in it.
This time, a few of them set off for the United States, and their brokerage company originally wanted to unite to hold a grand guild for a few people and convene the media to report on it, but Xiao Yao felt that he didn't even turn on the machine. And they set off at noon on the second day of Zhao Rui's graduation ceremony, and the time was also very tight, so it was too late, so the brokerage company had no choice but to give up.
Now that it has been reported by a gossip reporter squatting at the airport, and it has been revealed by interviewing several of your parents, the brokerage companies of Zhao Rui, Xu Fei and others don't mind boosting the back at this time.
So for a while, there was an endless stream of news on the Internet about several people investing in movies and going to the United States to film, and the news and interviews that revealed a few months ago that the three people were parkour veteran teams were also turned over.
In these news and interviews, Zhao Rui and Xu Fei both emphasized that the sport of parkour was actually conceived by Xiao Yao, and the idea of making a movie was first thought up by Xiao Yao, so Xiao Yao is naturally the core figure of this matter.
When these news reports came out a few months ago, everyone was quite surprised and surprised that these people were actually the founders of a world-wide popular extreme sport, but many people were not very optimistic about the fact that they raised money to make a movie.
These people are all young and famous actors, and their acting skills are experienced, but they have little experience behind the scenes of movies. Among these people, Xiao Yao has the most behind-the-scenes experience, and he has only made a few MVs and a short film. Can these people join forces to invest in making films?
However, the money they make movies comes from their own and crowdfunding on crowdfunding websites, participating in crowdfunding is a resource, and the number of single transactions is not large, and more importantly, crowdfunding on foreign websites, most of the netizens who participate in crowdfunding are foreigners, but no one scolds them for cheating people and cheating money, but many people think they are too child's play.
But now when the news comes out again, it's different. Xiao Yao's animated film, which is a producer, producer, director, screenwriter, soundtrack, and a series of behind-the-scenes work, has won more than one billion box office, with a score of more than 8.5 points. Although animated films are different from live-action films, Xiao Yao has been the director of short films and MVs, and has also directed live-action performances. Once the hurdle of short and feature films is crossed, then live-action films and animated films don't seem to be too much of a problem for Xiao Yao. is the evil of Xiao Yao, and many people have a lot of expectations for this movie.
Although Xiao Yao is the only one in the media interview about parkour movies, the core figure of this topic is still Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao and others have just left for the United States, which means that this parkour movie has just started at most, and it is far from being released or even finished. However, Xiao Yao's live-action movie will definitely not be seen in the near future, but his animated film is currently being released. As a result, some audiences who were very much looking forward to the live-action movies of Xiao Yao and others couldn't help but go to the theater to watch "Wall-E" again, and once again felt the enjoyment brought to them by this film of Xiao Yao as a director and screenwriter.
In addition, on the morning of Xiao Yao and others' departure, the video of Xiao Yao's performance at the graduation dinner of the Yandian Performance Department was posted on the Internet, and the static movie "Those Years" released by Xiao Yao with the Yandian graduates released earlier circulated on the Internet.
Xiao Yao said yesterday that he would post still movies to photography websites, movie websites and video websites, so early this morning, some graduates of Yandian searched on the Internet with the mentality of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yao did all the post-production in one night and uploaded it to the Internet, and a group of graduates of Yandian immediately called friends and began to forward them on various social software.
The static movie was sent by Xiao Yao, and several graduates of Yandian majors forwarded and spread. The performance video of the loose meal was uploaded and published by the students of the Yandian Performance Department and spread.
There are graduates every year, and there are graduates of film and television schools every year, but it is unique for a third-year student of the Shenju Performance Department to go to the graduation dinner of the Yandian Performance Department, and it is also unique for a third-year student of the Shenju Performance Department to work out a work together on the day of graduation.
These two events are very topical in themselves, and what is even more striking is the specific content presented in these two events.
Static movies aren't particularly unusual. The professional name of still film is picture montage, which is actually a compulsory course for the lower grades of the film directing major, and there should be many people who can shoot this thing. Except for the "Li Qingzhao" that Xiao Yao made for Tu Yiyuan back then, there are actually a lot of static movies on the Internet now, but they are basically not very famous.
This time, Xiao Yao and Yandian graduates made a static movie called "Those Years", which mainly tells the story of a boy who has a secret love for a girl from having a crush to summoning up the courage to confess to coming together, and finally having to break up and go their separate ways when he graduates. In addition to telling about the campus love between the two, it also contains some friendship between the two and other students.
The story is not particularly novel, but in the graduation season, it is particularly easy to resonate, coupled with Xiao Yao's superb grasp of composition, light and shadow, and the assistance of Yandian's students' professional level of service, these 20 or so photos are not only beautiful, but also particularly infectious. After being forwarded and spread by a group of Yandian graduates, it was quickly forwarded by a large number of ordinary netizens and became popular on the Internet.
Xiao Yao's participation in the graduation dinner of the Yandian Performance Department was very unexpected, but it was not so surprising that he sang at the casual dinner. Such a famous and talented singer attended the party, and it was unexpected not to pull him up to sing a song. After being surprised that Xiao Yao appeared at the graduation dinner of the Yandian Performance Department, many people naturally focused on the song that Xiao Yao sang in the video.
"Breakup Hug", a bitter love song that sounds like a lover breaking up, but it actually sounds like the parting feelings of graduating students. This song is not only very appropriate for the graduation dinner, but also resonates with many people this graduation season.
When uploading and releasing this video, the author also wrote a text introduction, explaining that the title of this song came from Xiao Yao's explanation when Xu Jiahui went to Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui to hug, and specifically emphasized that this song was written by Xiao Yao at the scene of the casual dinner for these graduates.
Xiao Yao's music creation talent has long been famous, but with a meal, he can create a complete new song for the scene at that time without writing a record with pen and paper, and he can sing it directly on stage, which surprised many netizens again.
Although some netizens didn't believe it, and even some sunspots disdainfully suggested that it was too embarrassing for the students of the Yandian Performance Department to kneel and lick and tout the stars of the Shenju Performance Department, most netizens still tend to believe that Xiao Yao has this ability.
A touching and appropriate new song, or an impromptu live creation, is undoubtedly very topical. After this video was forwarded by a group of students from the Yandian Performance Department, it was quickly forwarded by a large number of netizens and became popular on the Internet.
A static movie, a live singing video of a new song, and a report that Xiao Yao and others went to the United States to film collectively in the afternoon, Xiao Yao once again became popular on the Internet in China.
Spurred on by these three events, on Monday and Tuesday, the third week of its release, the animated film "Wall-E" once again showed no significant box office drop on weekdays, and remained at the same level as the previous weekend.
Although the release of "Wall-E" and the third week have entered, two more "blockbusters" have been released this week to join the box office battle for the summer season of the movie, but with Xiao Yao's current popularity on the Internet and the performance of "Wall-E" at the box office in the first two days of this week, coupled with the film's strong high rating on rating websites, many experts have analyzed and predicted that "Wall-E" is likely to win the weekly box office championship again this week. According to this momentum, Xiao Yao's first movie is likely to be aiming for a box office of two billion.
Regarding the heated discussions on the Huaxia Internet, Xiao Yao himself still knows nothing for the time being.
Their flight departed at noon. Not long after the plane took off and turned into a stable flight state, the flight attendant brought the passengers lunch provided on board.
After lunch, Zhao Rui, who had a hangover, and Xiao Yao, who stayed up late, put down the tables and chairs, covered them with blankets, and fell asleep.
This time, everyone took a direct flight to Los Angeles, and there was no need to transfer in between. Zhao Rui and Xiao Yao slept for almost ten hours in this night, and they even missed the second meal. By the time they woke up, the plane had already reached the skies over the United States, and it wasn't long before landing.
Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui got up and went to the bathroom of the plane to wash their faces, cleaned themselves up a little, and then returned to their seats Not long after, the radio on the plane sounded to prepare for landing, and the passengers were asked to straighten up the back of their seats and fasten their seat belts.
The plane landed safely, Xiao Yao and others took their luggage, and when they came out of the passenger passage, they saw Mu Ying who came to pick up the plane in person.
Among Xiao Yao's group of eight people, Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and Pei Minyi have all met Mu Ying, although Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting have not met Mu Ying, they have been contacted a lot through online video, and they are relatively familiar. The real strangers are the assistants brought by the three of them and the two crew members brought by Mu Ying. Everyone briefly greeted and introduced, and Mu Ying took everyone to the parking lot.
Mu Ying took everyone to the parking lot, took out the key and pressed it, turned to Xiao Yao and said, "We drove three cars over, the three of us are the drivers, and you assign who will sit in whose car!"
"Huh~" Seeing the three cars in front of him, Xiao Yao couldn't help but whistle, and said to Mu Ying with a smile, "Old Mu, it's a big deal!"
Parked in front of Xiao Yao and others were three BMW SUVs. All three cars look brand new, with the same appearance, and all are black, and they are very imposing when parked together. Judging from the model, Xiao Yao recognized that this was BMW's new model this year.
"This is not my big deal!" Mu Ying smiled, "This is not specially rented for you, this is the crew's car!"
"The crew uses such a good car, it's too extravagant, right?" Xiao Yao said, "Is our budget so sufficient?"
There are no big-name star actors in this movie, and the biggest name may be Xiao Yao. This is his own movie, Xiao Yao is not the kind of person who is poor and extravagant, and he has long told Mu Ying that there is no need to talk about pomp and circumstance in this regard.
"Look at your slamming appearance!" Mu Ying smiled, "This car didn't cost anything, it was sponsored by BMW!"
"Sponsorship?" Xiao Yao said strangely.
"Yes!" Mu Ying nodded, "You said that you don't accept investment from film companies and enterprises, but you didn't say that you won't accept sponsorship and product placement." BMW is our sponsor, not an investor, let alone a producer, and will not arrange people for our crew, just advertising. I don't refuse to do a product placement, they give both money and a car!"
"Of course you can't refuse this kind of good thing!" Xiao Yao smiled and hugged Mu Yingdao.
"BMW is an international brand!" Zhao Rui said with a smile and a thumbs up, "Even BMW's advertising and sponsorship can be pulled, Lao Mu, you can!"
"I didn't pull this sponsorship," Mu Ying said with a smile, "It was our crowdfunding that started, after the official website of the movie was launched, there was a report in the media, and the people from BMW took the initiative to find it after knowing the news!"
"BMW took the initiative to come over and send money, Brother Mu, your relationship with BMW is really good!" Xu Fei said with a smile, "It is worthy of being a director who has helped BMW shoot advertising movies!"
Xu Fei and Mu Ying were face-to-face for the first time, and they were not as familiar as Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui with Mu Ying, so they were called "Brother Mu" instead of "Lao Mu".
"This is not my relationship alone," Mu Ying said with a smile, "BMW took a fancy to our film and took the initiative to ask for sponsorship, because of the relationship between me and Xiao Yao, maybe because Xiao Yao's relationship is a little more! Xiao Yao also visited BMW's Munich headquarters, but I haven't been there! It's just that my contact information is left on the official website of the movie, so BMW people came to me." ”
"By the way, you also visited the BMW headquarters on Bayi, why is your relationship with BMW so good?" Xu Fei asked Xiao Yao.
"It's a long story, so let's get in the car and talk slowly. Xiao Yao said, "I took Lao Mu's car, and I heard him talk about the crew's preparations on the way, what about you?"
"We want to know too!" said the other three.
After the last discussion, Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting all squeezed into Mu Ying's car, and Pei Minyi and the other three assistants sat in two cars driven by the crew.
"I knew that I would only bring one person and only drive two cars!" Mu Ying smiled helplessly.
