Chapter 190: A Hot Movie Short
That night, Xiao Yao only introduced Zhao Rui and Xu Fei to Mu Ying, and agreed to meet together every other week to discuss the script through online video chat, so the video communication was interrupted. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter all, it's already past one o'clock in the morning, and everyone has been recording the show for a day, and it's already very hard, and I have to fly back tomorrow.
The next morning, Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui were separated at the airport. Xiao Yao returned to Shencheng, and Zhao Rui and several others had to return to Yanjing. As for informing Chen Xiaoting about the parkour movie, Zhao Rui and Xu Fei are in charge, anyway, the script has not been finalized yet, the budget cannot be done, and there is no need to take out the money immediately. Chen Xiaoting, like Zhao Rui and Xu Fei, is at home in Yanjing, and she studied in Yanjing's Chinese opera with Xu Fei, so she didn't need Xiao Yao to go to Yanjing.
On the fourth day of Xiao Yao's return to Shencheng, the short film "Tuner" was simultaneously launched on the three major video websites in China and the official video website of Xiangnan Satellite TV. Xiao Yao's short film network broadcast rights are sold in Europe and North America, and only one video website can play them in the region. In China, even if he did not temporarily intend to give Shonan Satellite TV's video website the right to play for free, Xiao Yao did not plan to give only one video website the exclusive right to play, after all, his development foundation is still in China, so that this short film is seen by more people is more important than the economic benefits of the short film.
After the four video websites launched the short film, they all put this short film in the most eye-catching recommendation position on the homepage. In the introduction of the recommended position, Xiao Yao's name and the title of "The Most Popular Award of the Audience in the International Competition Unit of the Clermont Ferrand International Short Film Festival" immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.
"I'm going, Xiao Yao? Is it the Xiao Yao who sings? Is he going to make a micro-movie? Or is he writing, directing and acting by himself? It won't be the same name and surname, right?" This is the first doubt that netizens have when they see the introduction of this video.
"What is the Clermont Ferrand International Short Film Festival? Sounds like it's amazing, is it really amazing?" This is the second question of netizens.
With curiosity, many netizens clicked on the video and watched this short film with a seemingly awesome title.
"I'll go, it's really Xiao Yao. Although he has a beard, his appearance and the appearance of playing the piano are definitely Xiao Yao. ”
The lineup of this micro-movie is bull, but if you think about it carefully, except for the old lady and the protagonist girlfriend who didn't show her face, I don't know who it is, the others are all people related to Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao's grandfather, Xiao Yao's mother, Lin Shaohua is the father of Xiao Yao's good brother Lin Qisan, Cheng Xi is an artist in their studio, Su Chengying and Huang Shi both worked with Xiao Yao in "Lingyunzhi" that year. You don't need to look at the appearance of the protagonist to know that it can't be Xiao Yao with the same name. ”
"The focus of this short film is Xiao Yao's self-writing, self-directing and self-acting, is it good? Not to mention winning the award for the first short film, or writing and directing himself, is this guy also a genius in making short films?"
"What kind of genius? Isn't it just based on family connections and relying on a star cast? With such a cast, how many fans do so many stars have? Any director can make a most popular short film. ”
"Are the people upstairs an idiot? They are French film festivals, and they are elected by foreign audiences, and they are not voted by our Huaxia network? Except for Ye Jiaying and Lin Shaohua, everyone else is in our Huaxia TV circle, and how many French viewers know each other? Even if Lin Shaohua and Ye Jiaying combined, they have only appeared three times in "Cannes", or several years ago. Even if it depends on the popularity of the star, it depends on Xiao Yao's own. Because of the video spoofing American Airlines, he appeared in foreign news more times than Ye Jiaying and Lin Shaohua combined. ”
"What is this Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival? Is it an international A-category? Why haven't you heard of it, could it be a title bought with money?"
"Popular science, the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival is one of the earliest international short film festivals in the world, and many famous foreign directors are known through this film festival, but because this film festival is only for short films, there are not many talents in our country. The film festival is held in France, known as the "short film Cannes" in Europe and the United States, and is a very authoritative and professional film festival, definitely not a little-known third-rate film festival. I just checked, and this year's list of winners on the official website of the film festival does have the names of this film and Xiao Yao, and at the same time, the big-name directors who were shortlisted this year but did not win the award are..."
In just a few days, there have been hundreds of comments from netizens under the three major video websites, and the number of views on the video website of Shonan Satellite TV itself is less, but there are dozens of comments. Among them, there are those who express amazement, and there are also those who are questionable, but in any case, judging from the growth rate of clicks, this short film already has the potential to explode.
Then, the episode of "Happy Camp" that Xiao Yao participated in the recording was broadcast. Because Xiao Yao's short film is also available on his home video website, during the post-editing, the dialogue between Xiao Yao and the host about the short film was completely retained, and many viewers who watched the quick book also began to search for this short film on the Internet. The recording and broadcast of Kuaiben are about a week away, and after Kuaiben is broadcast, this short film is still hanging on the homepage recommendation of four video websites, and the audience can see it by searching on the Internet. Therefore, both the number of clicks and the number of comments have also exploded.
More and more people are seeing this short film on the Internet, and more and more netizens are commenting on it.
"Can anyone tell me if the protagonist survived in the end?"
"By the end of the film, the piano sound has been continuing, so I guess I'm not dead, right?"
"The tuner must be dead. Didn't notice the sound of a nail gun at the beginning of the film? It was definitely not the sound of the door opening. ”
"This is an open-ended ending, the director didn't say it in the end, so it depends on the audience's own judgment whether to die or not. ”
"What's the open-ended ending? There are a lot of details in it that show that the protagonist is absolutely dead. First, the doorbell rang four times, which means..."
The classification label of this short film is a suspense thriller, and the most talked about in the comments is the discussion about whether the protagonist died in the end, and many netizens dig up the details in the film to prove their opinions. In addition, many people have also published an overall evaluation of this short film, and most of them have commented that this short film is worthy of the award.
"It's a delicate, intriguing short film that accommodates maximum variations in a small space, creating a tension of extreme contrast. ”
"This time I watched it amazingly, and the second time I saw it, I broke out in a cold sweat, but I still want to watch it a third time. ”
"Agree upstairs, this film has to be watched at least three times, the first time to watch the plot, okay, there are also Huang Shi's women's clothes and Cheng Xi's, the second time to reminisce, the third time to chew carefully. ”
"It's not surprising that such a film can win an award. ”
"The best thing about this film is the plot, followed by the light and color treatment in the movie, which makes my hair stand on end. It's hard to imagine that this guy who is less than twenty years old wrote and directed himself. ”
"This guy is a photographer by nature, and his ability to handle light and color is already good, which can actually be seen from the music videos he has shot before, which is reflected in the electronic music version of "faded". But this script really doesn't look like someone his age can write it. ”
With everyone's discussion of the short film, Xiao Yao's old incident last year was also brought up again by netizens.
"Does anyone still remember Xiao Yao's arrest of knife-wielding gangsters on the subway in March last year? I remember that at that time, there were media reports on the Internet interviewing passengers on the subway that Xiao Yao was actually wearing sunglasses and pretending to be blind on the subway that day, and the thief thought he was really blind and that was why Xiao Yao found out. Could it be that Xiao Yao himself is also a voyeur?"
I remember that the passenger who had the phone stolen at the time said in an interview with reporters that Xiao Yao told her that she was experiencing the character at that time. It should be that Xiao Yao already had this script at that time, and he was preparing for this role. ”
But why did he come up with such a story? In the film, the protagonist boss (Lin Shaohua) says that "this world is either voyeur or exhibitionist", which highly summarizes the meaning of this film. The protagonist is a voyeur, the fitness coach among the clients is a transvestite, the beautiful dancer is an exhibitionist, and the kind-looking old lady is a murderer, (the sloppy Su Chengying is the most normal client in the film) Is the world in Xiao Yao's eyes like this? Is this still the sunny boy in our eyes? Is Xiao Yao blackened or is his demonic youth rebellious period only coming now?"
As the comments on the Internet became more and more enthusiastic, the short film quickly spread from several video websites to various social media such as Weibo, and countless netizens spontaneously recommended the short film on their social accounts. Xiao Yao's short film quickly became a complete hit. not only attracted gossip media reports, but also quickly appeared on the Internet hot search.
It's just that the more popular the short film, the more doubts will accompany it. A teenager in his twenties, his short film debut won a big international award, whether as a director or as a screenwriter, it is a very rare thing, not to mention that he wrote, directed, and acted by himself? Is it possible? Many people have raised doubts about Xiao Yao's identity as director and screenwriter on the Internet. Among them, there are also some people who are engaged in the film and television production industry.
So some good media began to ask the star actors in the short film for verification, and asked them about their experiences and feelings during the filming of the short film. Although of course they did not explicitly doubt Xiao Yao's identity as a director and screenwriter, they also hoped to find a trace of fraud from the answers of those actors.
Among the star actors, Xiao Chengru and Ye Jiaying are Xiao Yao's relatives, Cheng Xi is an artist in Xiao Yao's studio, Lin Shaohua and the Xiao family are world friends, and old artists like Tian Fangzhen live in a simple place, so Huang Shi and Su Chengying, the two Mesozoic Xiaosheng Hua Dan, have become the focus of reporters.
In the face of the reporters' questions, Huang Shi and Su Chengying did not feel the slightest unnaturalness, and began to complain about Xiao Yao's bad behavior when he was a director and filmed a short film in front of the reporters. When the reporters felt that they could dig up big news, Huang Shi complained about Xiao Yao's whimsical brain, and arranged a transvestite role for himself, not to mention, the requirements were very strict. Obviously, some scenes in the script have been filmed, and I have to add temporary scenes, so that I can shoot a lot of more shots in women's underwear. And Su Chengying revealed that there was no hamburger in the script, and Xiao Yao temporarily asked the crew to go to the fast food restaurant downstairs to buy hamburgers, so that he had such a ruined image.
Although the two seem to be complaining, judging from these revealed details, in the filming of the short film, Xiao Yao is indeed the undisputed controller of the entire crew, whether it is director or screenwriter, he deserves these two titles.
In fact, Huang Shi and Su Chengying also saw some skeptical voices on the Internet, and of course they knew the purpose of the reporters, so after the interview, they also deliberately posted some small videos of Xiao Yao directed and filmed on their mobile phones on their Weibo. As a result, this kind of skepticism has not yet formed a trend, and it quickly disappeared.
Then, as the heated discussion on the Internet continued to ferment, some TV stations' entertainment news and professional media in film also joined in the coverage of the short film.
The impact of professional film media reports is naturally different from that of online gossip media, and more professionals in the film industry have begun to pay attention to this short film. The quality of this short film is undoubtedly very good, so Xiao Yao has received another wave of praise from the film industry, and at the same time, Xiao Yao, a young genius who has only been thriving in the music industry in recent years, has broken into the field of vision of people in the Chinese film industry with this explosive short film.
For Xiao Yao's short film debut to win awards abroad and become so popular on the Internet, in addition to Xiao Yao's family and friends, the happiest are Xiao Yao's fans.
Xiao Yao originally debuted as the role of "Chengying" in "Lingyunzhi". Among Xiao Yao's fans, a considerable number of them know and like Xiao Yao's "film and television fans" through this character. Although Xiao Yao has released a lot of music works in the past two years and his results are also very good, many people are still looking forward to his development in film and television, because no matter what, the status of film and television stars in the entertainment industry is still higher than that of singers.
In the past two years, Xiao Yao has not moved much in film and television. Although he was admitted to the acting department of Shen Opera, it means that he should still want to be an actor, but he is not in the cast of the TV series "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", which is invested by his family studio and written by himself, which also makes many fans worry about whether he suddenly doesn't want to act again.
It wasn't until Xiao Yao explained in the quick book that he went to shoot a short film during the filming of the TV series, or did he shoot such a popular (award-winning) and popular (Internet hits) short film work as a director, screenwriter and starring, which reassured Xiao Yao's "film and television fans". feels that he not only did not lose interest in acting, but also seemed to be adjusting the focus of his future development to film and television.
