Su Xiao chatted with Xiao Yao for a few more words, and then said goodbye and left. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Yu Hua knew that it was difficult to interview a person of Su Xiao's level, so he did not leave with Su Xiao, but stayed in the lounge to continue interviewing Xiao Yao.
"I just learned about you writing songs for the troops, can you say a few more words?" Yu Hua stretched out the microphone in front of Xiao Yao again.
Their show is called "Straight to the Spring Festival Gala", but it doesn't mean that they can only interview and report things related to the Spring Festival Gala, and some anecdotes about the actors who participated in the Spring Festival Gala also belong to the scope of their reports. Writing 10 military songs and giving them to the troops for free is definitely worth continuing to interview and report
"Actually, it's nothing. It was written in September last year, when we were freshmen in military training. Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Our military training is in the barracks, and we are strictly controlled at night, and there is no activity, so we write songs." At that time, I stayed in the barracks, surrounded by soldiers, and everything I heard and saw was related to the army. During the day, when we were resting for military training, we would also sing songs, all of which were military songs, so I thought about writing a few military songs related to the army. ”
"How long is your military training? University military training shouldn't be more than a month, right? You write ten poems in a month?" Yu Hua was surprised.
"It's hard for other creators to say, but if you say Xiao Yao... Not to mention ten songs a month, I wouldn't be surprised that he wrote ten songs a week. Chen Chen interjected with a smile on the side.
"Then how long did it take you?" Yu Hua asked Xiao Yao, "Also, just now Teacher Su Xiao said that you gave all the songs to Teacher Zhao Lanying, how did you and Teacher Zhao Lanying meet?"
"It's only been about a week, and I don't remember the exact days. Xiao Yao said with a smile, "When I was singing during the break in military training, I sang a few new songs that I had written, and they happened to be heard by the head of our troops. At that time, there happened to be a condolence performance in our army, and the leaders wanted to perform with my new songs, so I gave them the ten songs I had written. They asked Teacher Zhao Lanying of the Army Art Troupe to help pick out songs, but Teacher Zhao was very interested after reading it, and found our army and told me that they wanted to buy them all, and I gave them to her. Since it was a song written for soldiers, I didn't think about selling it, and told Mr. Zhao that as long as it was related to the theme of the army, I could sing it casually, and I authorized it for free. That's it. ”
"Your heart is really rare, no wonder Teacher Su Xiao made a special trip to thank you. Yu Hua couldn't help but sigh.
"Well, thank you very much for your interview today, and I wish you all the best and give us a wonderful performance. Yu Hua finally said to a few people. Her interview task is not only Xiao Yao and the two groups of artists in the lounge, if it wasn't for Su Xiao's sudden arrival just now, she would have withdrawn a long time ago, and now that she has been interviewing for so long, she should also interview other people again.
"Thank you!" Xiao Yao and the others politely waved goodbye to Yu Hua at the camera.
The program "Straight to the Spring Festival Gala" is a warm-up program before the Spring Festival Gala, and not many people watch this show on TV, and there are almost no viewers on the live broadcast on the Internet. This time is just dinner time, and most of the people are not large, and the living room for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner happens to have a TV, turn on the TV and let it play by itself, and the picture is lively.
Although it has been several years since Xiao Yao became popular because of the role of "Chengying", Xiao Yao has been on the social news because of his righteousness and courage on the subway, and because of the double champion on the social news, these are all things that happened last year in the Gregorian calendar and this year in the lunar calendar, even if he is not his fans, he also has a lot of popularity among ordinary people who don't pay much attention to the entertainment industry. Those middle-aged and elderly viewers who are more concerned about current affairs are the main group of people waiting in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and most of those who watch the "Straight to the Spring Festival Gala" are also such people.
Therefore, when the footage of interviewing Xiao Yao and Su Xiao appeared on TV, it also attracted the attention of some people. The fact that he helped the troops write songs spread among these people.
If you want to say that Xiao Yao is most concerned, it must be his family.
After Xiao Yao was reborn, Xiao Chengru never went to the Spring Festival Gala. In previous years, on the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Siqi's family accompanied the old man in the courtyard of Old Man Xiao to celebrate Chinese New Year's Eve. Xiao Siqi participated in the Spring Festival Gala before and after remarriage, and after marrying Xiao Siqi, Ye Jiaying also appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Therefore, the practice of their family is that people who do not have Spring Festival Gala tasks are responsible for accompanying Old Man Xiao to spend Chinese New Year's Eve in the courtyard.
Old man Xiao has spent Chinese New Year's Eve with Xiao Siqi Xiao Yao's father and son in previous years, and has also spent Chinese New Year's Eve with Ye Jiaying Xiao Yao's mother and son, and the happiest family of four has also been reunited together in the courtyard. But Xiao Yao is not there, Old Man Xiao and Xiao Siqi and his wife spent Chinese New Year's Eve together, this is the first time this year. Therefore, these three people also pay special attention to this year's Spring Festival Gala, including the "Straight to the Spring Festival Gala" of the previous warm-up program, and they are also watching.
"Bayi wrote ten songs for the troops, and they were sent out for free, is there such a thing? When is it?" Hearing the interview on TV, Old Man Xiao looked at Xiao Siqi in surprise.
"I don't know. Xiao Siqi smiled, "He didn't tell me about this." You also know that the songs written by Bayi, who to sell them to, and how to sell them, have always been his own decisions. In the past, he would go through me to sell songs, and he would discuss with me, but now he has his own agent to help him negotiate the contract and negotiate the price, and he rarely even negotiates with me. ”
"This matter, don't talk about us, I guess I still don't even know about the agent who is with him. Ye Jiaying continued, "When I came back from Shencheng last month to help him confirm the rehearsal time of the Spring Festival Gala, I talked to her about the situation in Shencheng in the past few months, but I never heard her mention it. ”
"Look, he said that he wrote it during military training, no wonder Fang still doesn't know. Xiao Siqi pointed to Xiao Yao, who was interviewed by Yu Hua on TV, and said, "This kid! I want to send him a second album because he didn't have enough songs, but he is good, he wrote ten military songs after participating in a week of military training, and they were all given away for free, which is enough for the number of albums." ”
"What do you mean? Are you blaming Bayi?" Xiao Chengru glared at Xiao Siqi and said, "Do you have to sell the copyright to collect money by writing songs for soldiers? Let me tell you, if your studio needs to deal with the troops in the future, it will be much easier for you to cooperate with the people in the army with the incident reported today. Your son had a vision to do this!"
"Yes, yes, you're right. Xiao Siqi smiled, "This guy is a demon, haven't you always said that he will be better than me in the future." You see, he's already better than me now, and he writes ten songs a week, and I can't do it even if I kill him. ”
"What about the festival today, what nonsense is "death" and not "death"?" Ye Jiaying patted Xiao Siqi, complained, and then said to Xiao Chengru, "But when it comes to Bayi, this child, I'm afraid no one can grasp it." ”
"What do you mean?" Xiao Chengru said as he looked at Ye Jiaying.
"I'll just say it clearly," Ye Jiaying said with a smile, "We have been competing in secret, Siqi wants to be a singer after Bayi, and my father and I want to be actors after Bayi." Bayi himself knows it in his heart, so he released a creative album, and went to the Shenju Performance Department in college, which seems to be a balance between us, taking care of both aspects. But in reality, he did much more than that. ”
"What else did he do?" Xiao Chengru asked with interest.
"Dad, you also participated in the filming of the short film made during the summer vacation, and after returning from the August 1st holiday, he told us that he had sent the short film to the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival to participate in the competition. Ye Jiaying said, "It is a film festival known as "Cannes of short films". Of course, I think the quality of his short film is qualified, but the first short film went to "Cannes for short films", you can see Bayi's ambitions, right? Not only as an actor, but also as a director, he is not just playing. ”
"I know this," Xiao Chengru said, "I remember that he had already said that he wanted to be a director when he applied for the question and answer of the examiner for the third examination of the drama art examination, and it is normal for an actor to want to be a director." ”
"But that's not all. Ye Jiaying said, "Do you know what else Bayi did last month? He cooperated with a special effects company in Shencheng to make an animated film, which is not a short film, but an animated feature film with the specifications of the theater. ”
"Animated feature films? That's a lot of money. Xiao Chengru said, "He asked you for money?"
"No," Xiao Siqi said, "Bayi never mentioned this to me at all. ”
"Yes, he didn't mention it to us, this is what I heard from Pei Minyi, the new assistant of Bayi, and then asked Bayi himself before he admitted it. Ye Jiaying said, "He said that he didn't need our studio to give him money for the time being, so he didn't tell us." The production cycle of animated films is very long, and he is ready to spend his own money first, and then when the funds are really insufficient, he will not let us give him money directly, but let the studio invest in the animated film as an investor, be a co-producer, and calculate the revenue share for the studio. ”
"Spend your own money first?How much money does Bayi have now?" Xiao Chengru said, "The production cycle of animated films is indeed relatively long, but there is a lot of investment in the early stage, and the speed of spending money in the production process is also very fast." How long can he last on his own?"
"Although we don't know exactly how much money he has in his personal account, I guess he shouldn't have a lot of money on hand after making that short film. When he went to the United States during the summer vacation, he bought economy class tickets. Ye Jiaying said, "But it doesn't matter if you don't have much money now, Bayi will make money." Not to mention that Bayi's own songs all have continuous income, you probably don't know that he is now the boss of two companies. ”
"There's nothing to know about this. Xiao Siqi smiled, "Our studio and that modeling company." I had already transferred my stake in the modeling agency to him last year. ”
"I forgot about it. Ye Jiaying patted her forehead, then shook her head and said, "Although some people in our studio call him the little boss, it's just because he is our son." Strictly speaking, he's not the owner of the studio right now. The stake in that modeling agency is real. In this way, Bayi is already the boss of three companies. ”
"Three?" Xiao Chengru and Xiao Siqi were both surprised, "Do you mean that he opened his own company, or did he open two?"
"Yes," Ye Jiaying nodded, "The two newly established companies, one is registered in Huaxia and the other is a company registered in the United States. ”
"Why didn't I know?" Xiao Siqi said hurriedly, "When did you know? Why didn't you tell me?"
"After I came back from the holiday, when I chatted with him, he told me that he asked him about the animated movie. Ye Jiaying said, "Anyway, I thought I had to tell my dad about these things, so I didn't tell you in advance, and I'll tell you together today, lest I have to say it twice." ”
"Cut~" Xiao Siqi glanced at Ye Jiaying with disdain, "You just want to show in front of the old man that you know your son better than me as a father." ”
"That's not what you care about as a father, and it's not as good as Jiaying's mother. Xiao Chengru said to Xiao Siqi.
"You can't blame me for this," Xiao Siqi shouted, "Bayi, this kid, only talks to his mother, and when he is with me, he doesn't play musical instruments or talk about music together, and he doesn't tell me about these things at all." ”
"That's not because you're unreliable as a father, your son just thinks about having fun when he's with you," Xiao Chengru said Xiao Siqi again, turned to Ye Jiaying and said, "Okay, don't talk about this, you and your son, go home and talk about it yourself." Why is there an American company, and when he went to the United States to see Duo'er, he opened a company by the way?"
"It's not when I go to the U.S. for the summer vacation, it's after I come back from the U.S. Ye Jiaying said, "I didn't come back during the August 1st National Day holiday, saying that I learned to make musical instruments from two musical instrument makers from the United States in Shencheng. ”
"I know this, and I also invented that hand disc. Xiao Siqi interjected.
"During that time, he didn't just learn to make guitars and invent instruments like hand discs," says Yip, "and he also started a hand-making company with the American instrument maker who helped him make hand-discs." Bayi contributed half of the funds, accounting for half of the company's equity. He is responsible for providing the patented technology, and the instrument maker is responsible for production and management. The instrument maker is an American, so the company is based in the United States. At the beginning of this month, the company was officially established. Bayi didn't go to the company's founding ceremony because of the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, but all kinds of legal documents have been sent to him. ”
Xiao Siqi exclaimed, "Then do we have to call him Boss Xiao in the future?" But he has a patent, and people are in charge of production and management, so he wants to be the shopkeeper?"
"Not exactly. Ye Jiaying said, "Why do you think he performed and played the handpiece at the New Year's Eve party of Donghai Satellite TV? I still heard Fang say that after the August 1st performance ended that day, I received several orders for hand-discs in the lounge of Donghai TV. ”
