The media and netizens were surprised by the fact that the spread of a song video caused such a big reaction that it even caused the stock price of a giant airline to fall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In the early days of the video, in addition to paying attention to the popularity of the video itself and the comments of netizens, the media was very interested in the initiator of the video. When the airline came forward to admit it, the interest of the media and netizens was even greater. Who wrote this song, who made this video, and most importantly, who came up with the idea?
The young Chinese man playing the guitar and singing in the video is obviously the protagonist of the video, but logically speaking, the person who wrote the song, the person who came up with the idea of shooting the video, and the passenger whose guitar was broken are not necessarily the same person. It's also possible that a musician wrote the song for him or her in the voice of the passenger who wanted to get justice from American Airlines, and that musician or someone else came up with a way to get justice for that passenger by posting a video of the song online. So after American Airlines made an official response, the attention of the media and netizens also shifted from American Airlines' response to curiosity about the makers of the songs and videos.
For many Americans, the face of the young Chinese man singing in the video does not look very familiar, and neither the public netizens nor the American media can see who the protagonist is at the first time. is a few supporting actors who participated in the performance, and everyone is very familiar with them. Although there are no subtitles for the cast and crew in the video, many people think that the video has something to do with them because several celebrities such as Keith Craig and Betty Bellette have almost all reposted the video on the day it was uploaded to the website.
As long as you watch the video a little more carefully, it is actually easy to find that they all appear in this video. As a result, many media found several of their stars for interviews, wondering why these stars would participate in such a seemingly "spoof" video, and more importantly, they also wanted to learn about the song and video creator through them.
Through the reporter's interview reports with Keith Craig and other celebrities and subsequent in-depth investigations, everyone also has a more comprehensive understanding of the author of this song video.
First of all, several celebrities confirmed that this song and this video are about the personal experience of the protagonist, in fact, this can be seen from the video taken by the mobile phone and the photo of the damaged guitar in the easter egg at the end of the video, but the passenger himself does not appear in the video of the mobile phone, and everyone is not sure whether the singer is the passenger, but considering the nature of this video, everyone is not particularly surprised by this.
Somewhat unexpectedly, it was the protagonist in the video, the Chinese young man who sang, who was the creator of the song, and he came up with the idea of shooting the video himself. In addition to the photographer, the plot, scene design, lighting arrangement, props and costumes preparation and other behind-the-scenes work in the video, and even the post-editing and production of the video are all done by himself. In fact, in the speculation of netizens before, more people thought that this song with the characteristics of American country music was created by Keith Craig's partner on "The Voice of America", and Bob Rembrand, a mentor who specializes in country music.
Subsequently, when the report began to introduce the protagonist, everyone was surprised to find that the protagonist was not what everyone thought he was, an unknown ordinary person.
Keith Craig introduced the song's and video's creator named Jan Shaw, a member of the student band "Immortals", who had been a guest performer at the Oscars. The band's song of the same name, "IMMORTALS", which was popular in the United States and performed at the Oscars, was actually composed by him. The band was a warm-up guest for Daydream's concert in Los Angeles and is now part of Daydream's studio.
However, because this Jan Xiao is not an American, but a Chinese, he only came to the United States as an international exchange student to study for a year, and will return to China after his studies, so he is not a regular member of the band "Immortals". Jan was not included when Daydream's studio signed Immortals, so Jan was not a contracted musician under Daydream. But as a former member of the band or a supernumerary member, he has a good relationship with Keith Craig and is familiar with members of the band "Daydream" such as Vincent Valle, so Keith Craig and Vincent Valle helped out as friends and participated in the filming of this video.
And Betty Bellette and two other world supermodels participated in the video shooting, not only because Betty Bellette's husband Keith Craig has a close relationship with this Jan Shaw, and the other two models have a good relationship with Betty Bellette, but the three of them also knew this Jan Shaw.
In an interview with Betty Bellet and other three supermodels, Betty Bellette also revealed another identity of this Jan Shaw, that is, the young genius photographer who caused a lot of speculation in the fashion photography circle back then-YS. All three of them have collaborated with Yang in photography.
Nine years ago, Jan Shaw, who was only 10 years old, had already met Betty Bellette. At that time, Jan was recommended to the Eva Show as a backstage photographer as a teenage photographer, and Betty Bellette was the opening and FB of the Eva Show that year. So after all, Betty Berlet and Young met well before Keith Craig.
The keyboardist of the Band Binoxi, the guest performer of the Eva show, was injured in an accident, and the Chinese teenager who temporarily took the place of keyboardist was this Jan Shaw. And the reason why he was able to have the opportunity to replace the keyboardist was also recommended by Betty Bellette to the person in charge of the Eva show. It was also because Betty Craig returned to her alma mater to participate in the celebration and met Jan Shaw, who was an exchange student at her alma mater at the time, and invited him to her home as a guest, that Keith Craig met Betty Blaette through his introduction. It can be seen that Betty Berette not only knew Young earlier, but her relationship with Young is indeed better than that between Keith Craig and Young.
As more and more information about the author of the song video was exposed by media reporters, the American public became more and more surprised by the song video author.
At the age of ten, he participated in the Eva Show as a backstage photographer, temporarily joined the band Biknosi as a keyboardist to perform at the Eva Show, a former member of the band "Immortals", the creator of the hit song "IMMMORTALS", and now he has created such a song video that makes giant companies bow their heads and admit it. Even if he is not an American, the name Jan Shaw has quickly become popular in the United States.
Because they knew that this young photographer and music creator named Jan Shaw was Chinese, some American entertainment media reporters who learned from Keith Craig that he had returned to China even traveled thousands of miles from the United States to China to interview him in person.
After coming to Huaxia to get to know each other, these American entertainment reporters were even more surprised by this Jan Shaw.
They found that Jan Shaw was more than just a young songwriter who could write great music. In Huaxia, he is already a musical genius recognized by professional music awards. A few months ago, at the age of 18, he became the record setter with the largest number of nominations and awards in a single session of the Chinese domestic music awards, and the youngest in the history of awards. And in addition to photography and music, he is also an actor, and at the age of fourteen or fifteen, he participated in a drama series in Huaxia and won the best newcomer at the drama awards the following year, also the youngest winner in the history of the award.
In fact, there are many talented second-generation stars in the United States, many of whom are also developing simultaneously in acting, music and some other aspects, but they can win awards or honors in acting, music and photography, and they are young geniuses who have achieved such achievements, not to mention the United States, even if you look at the world, it seems that you can't find a guy who is more powerful than him at the same age.
Although this Jan Shaw is a Chinese, because he has the experience of studying in the United States, and has a great relationship with American stars such as Keith Craig and Betty Bellett, it is very likely that he will go to the American entertainment industry in the future to develop, so those American entertainment reporters who come to China feel like they have dug up a treasure and are extremely excited, and they all want to win the opportunity to interview Jan Shaw.
Xiao Yao is obviously also an acting star in Huaxia, and to interview a star, he usually has to go through his agency or agent. Xiao Yao is very famous in Huaxia, and among those who know him, almost all know his parents, and they know that he is a signed artist in his parents' studio. So entertainment reporters from the United States also easily found Xiao Yao's company, Qi Jia Studio.
However, to the frustration of many American entertainment reporters who came from afar, even if they were not afraid of trouble and came to China from the United States to find Xiao Yao's company, they still did not get the opportunity to interview Xiao Yao face-to-face. Because it is already the middle of September, according to the practice of most universities in China, the first month after the start of the freshman school year is the time for students' military training.
Xiao Yao's university is Shencheng Drama Academy, which also has a tradition of military training for freshmen. Moreover, their tradition is not to invite instructors from the army to conduct military training for students in schools, but to directly pull students to the barracks for closed military training. If you want to enter the military camp in Huaxia to interview a star student, let alone American reporters, I am afraid that there are not many reporters in Huaxia who can do it.
And for Xiao Yao's military training, he waited in China for more than half a month?
The entertainment industry in the United States is more developed than that of China, and there is news happening every day, and no one will give up news reports in the United States for more than half a month for a Chinese star who has not officially entered the American entertainment industry. And now that American Airlines has apologized, although the video is still being talked about on the Internet, the enthusiasm for discussion has begun to show a trend of slowly waning, who knows that half a month later, no one wants to know who the author of the video is?
If they didn't have the status of the popular video writer as a boo, just relying on their relationship with Keith Craig and Betty Bellette to introduce a Chinese star in the United States, they were not sure if the company would give them the resources to publish the report. Therefore, the entertainment reporters from the United States only sorted out the materials collected in Huaxia and went back to the United States to make an introductory report that did not include the content of their interviews.
