Chapter 450: Special Privileges

When Xiao Yao took promotional photos for the men's basketball team, it was a set of formal clothes for each person, and the finished film was six or seven for each person, and he couldn't even fill a nine-square grid. The promotional photos taken for the women's basketball players this time were two to three different costumes per person, and the final photos were also fourteen or fifteen per person, which was almost twice the number of promotional photos taken for the men's basketball players that year. Even if you remove the three or four photos selected by the Basketball Association into the official website gallery, the rest of the photos can't fit a single nine-square grid, and the women's basketball players all posted two Weibo posts in a row before they posted all those photos.

Chinese basketball fans must pay far more attention to men's basketball than women's basketball. In terms of popularity, the men's basketball players are definitely far superior to the women's basketball players, but in terms of appearance, although they also have long legs, the girls of the women's basketball team are more eye-catching than the boys of the men's basketball team. Generally speaking, whether it is for promotional photos or formal occasions, women can choose more clothing styles than men. Therefore, the difference in the number of clothes and photos in Xiao Yao's two promotional photos is quite normal for fans and netizens.

Fans and netizens have no opinions, but some of the men's basketball players jumped out to publicly express their dissatisfaction, and posted on their personal Weibo complaining about Xiao Yao's "heavy color and light friends", taking pictures of men's basketball players and women's basketball players is a double standard, and giving special preferential treatment to women's basketball players, the treatment of the two is too different.

The men's basketball player not only talked about the difference between the men's basketball team and the women's basketball team in terms of the number of clothes and photos in Weibo, but also specifically mentioned that when Xiao Yao helped the men's basketball team take promotional photos, the clothes were all obtained from the Chinese branch of domestic clothing brands or international brands, and this time to help the women's basketball team take promotional photos, Xiao Yao pushed the opening performance of this season's Chinese Basketball Professional League, and specially went to New York Fashion Week to help the women's basketball players pick out clothes。

After reading this Weibo revelation, everyone knew that Xiao Yao participated in New York Fashion Week last year, and he still went with the purpose of picking clothes for the women's basketball players. Reminiscent of the robbery and kidnapping case that Xiao Yao encountered at New York Fashion Week last year, and Xiao Yao also turned down the opportunity to perform in the opening game of the Chinese Basketball Professional League, the fans' good impression of Xiao Yao has deepened.

Xiao Yao takes promotional photos for the men's basketball players and the women's basketball players for free, even if the two are treated differently, it is Xiao Yao's freedom, and it stands to reason that no one should stand up and say anything. However, after seeing that the men's basketball player who posted Weibo complaining was Guo Qi, everyone also understood that this Weibo that seemed to be complaining and complaining was actually not complaining and complaining, but Guo Qi was changing direction to help Xiao Yao call.

At last year's charity star basketball game, Xiao Yao passed Guo Qi a pass for an empty dunk, and Guo Qi also passed a pass for Xiao Yao for an empty dunk, and the tacit understanding between the two was better than that between professional players. In addition, the two also communicated a lot in the game, far exceeding the other team members, and even the heads-up between Xiao Yao and Zhuo Zhiyuan seemed to be picked up by Guo Qi. Whether it is cooperation or interaction, these two are the most of the eighteen players in the whole game.

Such a performance will naturally arouse the interest of journalists. In the post-game interview, when Guo Qi was asked by reporters about this aspect, he also talked about his relationship and relationship with Xiao Yao. Only then did everyone know that in addition to the cooperation in shooting promotional photos of the men's basketball team a few years ago, Guo Qi also gave technical guidance for the TV series "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" for a day, and the guidance happened to be the scene where Xiao Yao made a cameo appearance in basketball. And the empty dunk he passed to Xiao Yao during the game was also a "secret weapon" that the two of them deliberately practiced privately from their teammates, in order to help Xiao Yao show off in the game.

After these interviews were reported, Guo Qi and Xiao Yao were undoubtedly a very good pair of friends in everyone's eyes. It is precisely because of the good relationship that Guo Qi can complain and complain about Xiao Yao so unscrupulously and make jokes about him. And if you look deeper, Guo Qi is not really complaining about Xiao Yao, but breaking the news that Xiao Yao went to New York Fashion Week to help the women's basketball team pick out clothes in this way, which is actually helping Xiao Yao speak.

Guo Qi's Weibo complaining and complaining about Xiao Yao also deliberately touched Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao himself did not respond, but many fans and Xiao Yao's fans rushed to Guo Qi's Weibo to reply and comment.

Xiao Yao is famous for his "heavy color and light friends", I don't know this, which means that you and Xiao Yao are also superficial brothers. ”

"Do you have Chen Promise that Xu Yue is good-looking? I'm Xiao Yao, and I'm sure I'll take more pictures of the women's basketball team!"

"What do you look like, don't you have that number in your heart?"

A lot of replies and comments ridiculing Guo Qi made many netizens very happy, and Guo Qi himself was very helpless.

Guo Qi's Weibo is just an episode, and everyone's attention is on Xiao Yao, the photographer, and Guo Qi, who jumped out to do things, but more on the protagonists of the promotional photos, those women's basketball girls.

On the day the promotional photos were released, the topic of the women's basketball team going to the World Championships had become a hot topic on the Internet. Many people have met the girls who are not familiar with the women's basketball team through those promotional photos, paid more attention and understanding to them, and also had a lot of expectations for their performance in the World Championships this year. Everyone has expressed that they will pay attention to this year's Women's Basketball World Championships, cheer for the women's basketball girls, and hope that these beautiful girls can achieve good results in the World Championships.

However, before seeing the performance of these girls in the World Championships, fans and netizens who follow these girls in the women's basketball team first saw another side of them. The day after the promotional photo was posted, everyone saw a video of the girls singing in the women's basketball team.

In addition to the promotional photos, Xiao Yao also made a song for the women's basketball players and filmed a video. That song was used to cheer for the women's basketball players to participate in the Women's Basketball World Championships, and naturally it was also released before the women's basketball players went out. The specific release of this song is the responsibility of Qijia Studio, but the specific release time is decided after communication and discussion with the Basketball Association.

Considering that the promotional photos would attract the attention of the media and the public after they were released, and become a news hotspot, they did not want to distract the public's attention from the promotional photos, so they put the time when the videos and songs were released on the second and third days after the release of the promotional photos, so as to let the media and the public continue to pay attention to the women's basketball team participating in the Women's Basketball World Championships.

The official website of the Basketball Association has a dedicated video section, but no dedicated music section. So on the second day after the release of the promotional photo, the video of the song was released online at the same time in the video section of the official website of the Basketball Association, the video section of several major music websites and several major video websites.

The promotional song that Xiao Yao wrote for the girls in the women's basketball team was the song "The First Dream" sung by Fan Weiqi in the previous life. Compared with the four theme song promotional songs written by Xiao Yao to the professional league, the rhythm of this song is not intense, and the actions and pictures of the women's basketball game do not have the visual impact of the men's basketball team, so the basketball association did not edit the promotional video specifically for this song, but used Xiao Yao's video edited with the picture of the women's basketball players singing with headphones in the recording studio.

We have seen a lot of videos of singers singing with headphones in the recording studio, and we have occasionally seen the video footage of individual athletes participating in the recording of public welfare songs, but it is the first time that everyone has seen the music video of the nine members of the women's national basketball team recording songs in the recording studio.

Although the footage of this video is a scene of the players recording songs with headphones in the recording studio, this video is also quite watchable when viewed separately.

In addition to Chen Nuo and Xu Yue, the two women's basketball players who are recognized as the most beautiful, everyone has also seen a lot of other team members who usually play or are interviewed, and everyone knows what their appearance is. But in this video, it's obviously an ordinary picture of singing with headphones in the recording studio, there is no kind of lighting in the studio, and the makeup on the face is like ordinary light makeup when girls usually go out, without any exaggeration, but with the expression when singing, each member of the team makes people look particularly beautiful.

The team members who can make the appearance of the team also present a very beautiful effect, in addition to the skill of the makeup artist, it is the credit of the cameraman. The scene in the video is in the same recording studio, and each team member stands in the same position when recording the song, the difference is only the angle chosen during shooting, some are side faces, some are half side faces, and some are front faces. There are very few so-called 360-degree beauties without dead ends, and correspondingly, even if they are average-looking girls, there will always be a perspective that is particularly beautiful. And in this video, the angle shot by each team member when singing is exactly the most beautiful angle.

In addition to the very good selection of shooting angles, the editing of this video is also very interesting. The nine team members sang a song, both solo and chorus. In the solo part, the video is naturally the picture of the team member who sings, while in the chorus part, the video is split screen, showing the members who contributed the chorus voice together. In the chorus, the chorus changes frequently, with as few as two or three and as many as five or six together, but the editing transitions in the video are not only smooth, but also very accurate. In any place, no one person has a completely mismatched lip sync.

In the performance of the last song, these nine female team members also gave the audience a big surprise.

Athletes are not singers, and everyone's requirements for them will not be as strict as those for singers, basically as long as it sounds good, and there is an ordinary KTV microphone level singing skill, everyone will be shocked. There are not no athletes who sing well in the sports circle, such as the sprinter Niu Ben, the swimmer Xu Tao, and the diver Zhou Jifeng in the world, who are all recognized by sports fans as good singers. After watching this video, everyone thinks that none of the nine women's basketball players sings worse than the above three.

"Although I haven't heard those women's basketball players sing much before, there are so many good singers in a women's national basketball team?

By the end of the video, the question in everyone's minds had been answered. Although this video is not an official MV, it is also subtitled. At the beginning of the video, the title of the song is typed in the middle of the frame, but there is no information about the songwriter. In the process of playing, when each women's basketball player appeared in the screen for the first time, the name of the player was typed vertically next to it, and the lyrics sung by the team members were played simultaneously below. It wasn't until the song was sung and the video was near the end that the video's staff was released in the form of a black screen. The songwriter, director, cameraman, and editor are all one name, Xiao Yao!

This time, everyone understands. It turned out that this music video was created by Xiao Yao. He not only wrote the song, but also shot and edited the video.

Why do the female players in the video look so beautiful, because Xiao Yao is the photographer. After taking so many promotional photos for the players, can he not know which team member is the most beautiful in the past from which angle? Why does he feel that these nine all sing so well? Because Xiao Yao is a professional music producer! In "Singer", it is natural that he can help Liang Xueying prepare the program and guide her singing, and that he can be invited by "The Voice" to be a mentor and guide several non-professional women's basketball players.

Although there was no fierce game picture, this music video created by Xiao Yao quickly spread all over the Internet as soon as it was released, and Xiao Yao continued to be a hot topic among netizens before the Women's Basketball World Championships.

There are many athletes who perform and sing in public, but all of them are covers. In this world, there are musicians who write songs based on the deeds and spirit of athletes, but there has never been a musician who writes songs specifically for athletes who are not professional singers. This song "The First Dream" debuted in this music video for the women's basketball players, and it is a new song that has not been sung by any singer before, does that also mean that these nine women's basketball players are the original singers of this song, this is a song that belongs to them?

Of course, after all, this is just a music video, the official version of the song has not been released yet, and it is possible that the original singer of this song has someone else, but it has not been officially released yet. However, will Xiao Yao's works need to use the women's basketball players to make a name for themselves?

A day later, the official version of the song was launched simultaneously on several major music websites. Although they are all in the free area, the names of the nine women's basketball players are indeed written on the singer column. After everyone clicked and listened, they found that it was indeed the version sung by the nine women's basketball players in the video. The official version has come out, so the nine women's basketball players are the original singers of the song, and it is confirmed.

This song doesn't seem to be very difficult, and there should be quite a few singers who can sing it. Not to mention Liang Xueying and other big-name singers who have cooperated with Xiao Yao, Fan Linxuan of Qijia Studio is very suitable for the style of this popular song, and her singing skills are obviously more suitable than the nine non-professional women's basketball players, but Xiao Yao did not give this song to any professional singers, but to the nine non-professional singers of the women's basketball team.

At present, this good work is hard to find, and some media have exposed that many big-name singers are looking for Xiao Yao to invite songs but can't do it, Xiao Yao's behavior has once again shocked the eyeballs.

Then, Guo Qi complained and complained about Xiao Yao's Weibo, and there were countless more replies. Netizens said in their replies that one or two more clothes and a few photos are what? Girls have more clothes than boys, and it is normal to have more photos, and it is really a special treatment to write songs and videos for the women's basketball players. encouraged Guo Qi to go to Xiao Yao to invite a song, to see if Xiao Yao would also write a song for him or the players of the men's basketball team.
