Chapter 716: Live performance at the premiere

These things, in fact, in the promotional activities before the release of the movie, Xiao Yao and others also mentioned them in the talk shows participating in the movie, but not every guest and audience on the scene has watched those programs, and many people have heard of these things for the first time.

Although Xiao Yao and several other young Chinese creators are well-known among the younger generation of the Chinese entertainment industry, and they have rich acting experience, except for Xiao Yao, almost all of them have no behind-the-scenes production experience. Even Xiao Yao has only made MVs, short films and animated films, and has not yet had a successful experience in live-action films.

The veteran parkour team worked behind the scenes to shoot a parkour movie, especially on foreign crowdfunding websites, which inevitably gave people the impression that they themselves were also lacking in confidence and were just making a movie on a whim. At this time, I heard that it took a few people almost two years just to write the script, but I recognized their seriousness, and I looked forward to this movie a little more.

When Zhao Rui and Mu Ying were interviewed by the live host, Xiao Yao, the core member of the crew, quietly left the scene and ran to prepare.

When the host finished interviewing Zhao Rui and Mu Ying, he did not continue to interview Xu Fei on the stage, but turned the topic to the music of the movie and introduced the episodes in the movie. After introducing the movie songs, the host told everyone that the original band of the movie interlude also came to the scene, and announced that the original band of the movie interlude would bring the performance of these two songs live.

The live performance of a rock band is not unseen by Chinese audiences, but it is rare to see it on an occasion like a premiere.

"Immortals" has not officially performed in Huaxia, and it has only appeared with Xiao Yao on the final stage of "Singer" once for so many years, but because of Xiao Yao, the popularity of this band in Huaxia is actually not low. Listening to the host's introduction that this American band came to China to perform live with Xiao Yao, the guests and the audience felt a burst of surprise and sent a burst of warm applause and cheers.

After the host introduced the band, he temporarily invited the main creators on the stage off the stage and left the stage to the band. The staff quickly took the stage and removed the chairs of the main creative staff of the crew, and moved musical instruments, microphones and other equipment.

After the preparations on stage were completed, Xiao Yao and Dean, who had changed their costumes, carried electric guitars, George carried bass, and empty-handed Mike and Sarmien walked onto the stage together. The drum kit and keyboard, which are difficult to carry by one person, were all brought up by the staff first.

After the five people walked on the stage, there was an extremely warm applause and cheers.

The host also left the stage after announcing the movie interlude performed by the band.

"I Just anna Run, Hide It Aay~" In the applause of the audience, Dean with an electric guitar on his back leaned in front of the standing microphone and sang directly.

Xiao Yao took two songs from his previous life as an interlude for this movie. The song they are performing now is called "I Just anna Run", which is a song by a punk pop band called The Donton Fiction in the United States.

There is no prelude to the song, and when Dean sings "Run", Xiao Yao picks up the guitar and begins the accompaniment with a short guitar melody, and it is not until Dean finishes the second line that Sarmeon's drums and George's bass join in.

The overall band accompaniment began, and the atmosphere of the whole scene immediately became enthusiastic.

While the band was performing, the music video for the song was played simultaneously on the big screen behind the stage for the movie. As an interlude and promotional song for the movie, some scenes from the movie also appeared in the MV of this song.

The song's fast-paced nature is perfect for the sports genre of the movie, and although the overall lyrics don't fit the theme of the movie very well, the listener's impression is easily focused on the phrase "I Just anna Run" that is repeated many times with the same title. Parkour is a running sport, which is very consistent with the phrase "I just want to run", and there is no sense of disobedience when this song is used as background music and some running scenes in the movie.

This song is the most popular song of The Donton Fiction in China in the previous life, and it is more popular with Chinese music fans. In this life, as a lyricist and composer for Chinese stars, the interlude of sports-themed movies mainly produced by several Chinese stars, everyone's acceptance and love have naturally reached a new level.

Soon after the release of this song and the MV in Huaxia, this song has become a popular English song in Huaxia, and at this time, Xiao Yao and others performed it live, and the atmosphere at the premiere was of course too high.

The total length of this song is only more than three minutes. Amid the cheers and screams of the audience, the performance soon ended.

After the performance of this song, the five members of the band did not leave the stage, but stood on the stage to catch their breath. At this time, the host took the stage again and introduced each member of the band to the guests and the audience in turn.

When the host introduced the band members, close-ups of several band members were also shown on the big screen behind. Xiao Yao doesn't need to be introduced, the guitarist and vocalist Dean, the black bassist George, and the American Latino keyboardist Mike are all very interesting, but the most eye-catching is of course the beautiful drummer Sarmyon. When Samion was introduced, the audience cheered the most.

After introducing each member of the band in turn, the host did not invite the band off the stage, but announced that the band would continue to bring a live performance of their other episode from the movie. Although some viewers had guessed in advance that since the band was here, they would definitely want to sing both songs, but when they actually heard the host say it, the audience still burst into cheers and screams of surprise.

While the host introduced the band members just now, the band members basically recovered from the performance of the previous song. After the host finished the curtain and left the stage, several people began to perform the next song amid the screams of the audience.

Unlike the previous song, the second song has an intro. In the midst of the screams of the audience, the exciting song prelude sounded, and all of a sudden the screams of the audience that were about to be reduced were reawakened.

After a short prelude to "This Ain't A Song For The Broken-hearted~", all the musicians in the audience stopped their movements, and Xiao Yao also approached the standing microphone to sing the first line of the song.

Same as the previous song, the first line of the song is sung a cappella in a cappella, but the style of the two songs is different, and the lead singer is also different. In Xiao Yao's case, the band "Immortals" is a dual lead singer configuration, but not every song is sung equally or together by the two lead singers. The song "I Just anna Run" is based on Dean, and this song is based on Xiao Yao.

This second movie interlude is "It's MyLife" by BonJovi in the previous life. In the previous life, this song was much more well-known and status than the previous song "I Just anna Run", and it can already be regarded as a rock and roll divine comedy-level song. In terms of singing difficulty, the difficulty of this song "It's MyLife" is higher, so Xiao Yao, who has a higher singing level, is the lead singer.

During the performance of the second song, the original music video of the song was shown on a large screen behind the stage. In the original MV of the previous life, the plot is about a young man who receives a notice from a friend and runs out of the house by throwing out the garbage, all the way to see BonJovi's underground performance. Among them, the young man's running process is basically the inspiration for Xiao Yao's two song MVs.

Xiao Yao didn't put too much thought into the MV of this song, basically changed the previous plot, and cut the picture of several people parkour in the movie instead of the young man running. And the MV of "I Just anna Run", Xiao Yao was also designed and filmed and edited according to the MV plot mode of this song.

When the two songs and the music video were announced, "It's MyLife" also performed better than "I Just anna Run", both in terms of song sales and fan evaluation, "It's MyLife" was more popular. At the live performance of this premiere, the reaction of the audience when the band performed the second song was also stronger than the previous song, and the cheers and screams were much higher than when the first song was performed.

Amid the screams of the audience, the band completed the performance of the second song. After the band members collectively bowed to the audience, Dean and the other four left the stage amid the applause of the audience, and the staff also removed musical instruments, microphones and other equipment, while Xiao Yao handed over the guitar he was carrying to Dean to take away, and he kept the rock and roll dress of a leather jacket and left it on the stage. Because after the band left, the staff put chairs on the stage again, and the host and the main creators returned to the stage, and Xiao Yao, as the main creator of the movie, did not need to leave.

After the excitement of the audience because of the two rock songs performed by the band calmed down a little, the host on stage continued to interview the main creators.

After Mu Ying and Zhao Rui, the host's next interview subject was placed on Xu Fei. During the entire filming process, many people in the crew have suffered some injuries to a greater or lesser extent, but most of them are only some relatively minor abrasions and sprains, and only Xu Fei has experienced more serious injuries. Although Xu Fei also suffered abrasions and sprains, his degree was more serious, and he was the only one who went to the hospital for examination and treatment during the filming process, and needed to stop work to rest and recuperate, and he was the biggest casualty in the filming process of the crew. During the host's interview with Xu Fei, the focus was also on this.

If the original accident happened to Xiao Yao himself, he would not have dared to bring this kind of thing out and talk about it. But Xu Fei is not Xiao Yao, or even Zhao Rui, neither a consistent tough guy image, nor has he learned martial arts, and he does not have the feeling that injuries are commonplace. This kind of thing can enhance his positive image and win favorability, whether it is him or his agency, he is very eager to talk about it.

This incident is a fact, and it can also show the work attitude of the entire crew during the filming from Xu Fei's incident, and Xiao Yao will naturally not object to this arrangement.

In the process of the host asking Xu Fei to tell about the filming injury, the big screen at the scene also cooperated to release photos of Xu Fei's injury. When they saw these photos, the audience also gave Xu Fei a round of applause.

Of course, in the course of the dialogue with the host, Xu Fei did not only talk about himself. also mentioned by the way that Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and others also suffered some injuries during the filming, but their injuries were not as serious as the injuries shown in their photos. Speaking of which, Xu Fei also laughed at his skills, saying that he was very worried that after this movie, he would be disgusted by Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui and kick him out of YRF. Xu Fei's easy ridicule also caused a burst of laughter at the scene.

After Xu Fei's interview ended, the host's next interview subject was Chen Xiaoting. Although Chen Xiaoting is not included in the YRF team, it is specifically introduced that she was the filmmaker of the team's early parkour videos, and all three of them regarded her as a member of this team. Xiao Yao and the other three are members of the team, but they are the only ones in this movie who are not in the starring team, only playing a small supporting role, but they are also one of the investors and producers of the film, this identity is also very interesting.

In addition to her contributions to the film, a large part of the interview with Chen Xiaoting focused on her relationship with the three YRF team members. During the whole process, Chen Xiaoting also exposed a lot of fierce news, telling some troubles about the three of them when they played parkour in the early days, and the audience at the scene was also very happy to listen.

Zhou Jingyi and other four foreign leading actors were the first to be interviewed, then Mu Ying and Zhao Rui, then Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting, and the last one to finish was naturally Xiao Yao. However, as the heaviest creator of this movie, Xiao Yao didn't say much. Because when the host finally asked him, Xiao Yao spread his hands and said that almost all the people in front of him had introduced all the things, and he had nothing to say.

For Xiao Yao's non-cooperation, there were also some boos in the audience. However, when the host smiled and said that he watched Xiao Yao perform two movie interludes live with the band before letting him go, the boos from the audience also disappeared.

After all the interviews with the host here, the next step is the exchange of questions between the media and the audience, and in terms of the audience, it is divided into two parts: the audience and the netizens who watched the live broadcast of the premiere.

This link is available at many premieres, and several people have already been mentally prepared. Although several people on stage have little experience in working behind the scenes of films, they have performed a lot of works, they have been famous for a long time, and they are still relatively experienced in dealing with the problems of the media and the audience.

Whether it is the on-site media or the scene and the questions of netizens, whether it is asking Xiao Yao or others, everyone seems to be relatively comfortable, and many answers can also cause bursts of laughter on the scene, and the atmosphere of the whole scene is still very good.

Although there was no rehearsal for the premiere, all aspects of the arrangement were made in consideration of the process and time. The number of creators of this movie is relatively large, and the time for the question session is also longer. After about twenty minutes, the session ended.

At this point, the pre-screening communication and performance sessions of the premiere are all over, and the next step is the official film screening.

The host and the creators left the venue together amid the applause of the audience, the staff quickly came up to remove the chairs, and the lights above the audience's heads also dimmed.
