Chapter 724 UNEP Goodwill Ambassadors

When Xiao Yao returned from overseas to promote parkour movies, it was already March. At this time, all colleges and universities have already opened, and the last semester of Xiao Yao's undergraduate has begun.

For students in the Department of Acting, the second semester of the senior year is mainly about two tasks: one is to rehearse the graduation play, and the other is to defend the graduation thesis. If you go out to film, if time does not allow, you can even ask for leave not to participate in the graduation drama, but the graduation thesis defense is a must.

However, it doesn't take a semester to arrange a graduation drama, and writing a graduation thesis is also a long-term process. After Xiao Yao came back, he didn't bury his head in the school to be busy with these two things, but pulled a group of people out of the school with Lin Qisan and started the planning of new projects.

Film and television schools are different from ordinary colleges and universities, and practice occupies a large proportion. Ordinary colleges and universities generally have internship time and arrangements in the fourth year, but for film and television schools, especially students in the acting department, it basically starts from the third year.

Acting is a very practical subject, and it is very important for students in the acting department to get in touch with the actual crew as soon as possible and accumulate more experience.

Students who study acting, whether they come for the purpose of being a pure actor or for the purpose of becoming a star, almost no one will refuse to become famous and be known to the audience. Becoming famous, of course, is as early as possible. If you can become famous when you are a student, your future acting career will undoubtedly be much easier, so many students are also very keen to strive for opportunities to go out to the crew for "internships" while they are in school.

In some schools, the acting students only stayed in the school for one year in their freshman year, and they began to look for various opportunities to enter the crew for filming "internship" since their sophomore year. Yandian, Shenju and other famous film and television schools that value the foundation of students stipulate that acting students are not allowed to go out to film in their freshman and sophomore years, but during their junior and senior years, there is no such restriction.

Within the time frame allowed by the school, teachers in many film and television schools are not opposed to students going out to film more. Many of the teachers in the film and television school are also in the entertainment industry, and if they have the opportunity, they will even recommend their students to the crew. However, this situation is relatively rare, and more often, it is up to students to find and fight for it themselves.

At present, in Shen Opera, the most popular and famous star student is definitely Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao is not the only star student of Shen Opera. In addition to Lin Qisan and Nina Aiyiguli, some students have also played roles in some film and television dramas during their college years and have become well-known star actors.

In the entertainment industry, it is not that the higher the business level and the better the acting skills, the more popular the actor, the easier it is to receive the role and find a job. The same is true for students who are still in school, not that the better the academic performance and the better the acting skills, the easier it is for students to get roles and get the opportunity to join the group for internship. In addition to their own business ability, background, resources, and even luck have a lot to do with it.

Among the classmates of Shenxi, in addition to Lin Qisan, a sworn friend, and his girlfriend Nina Aiyiguli, Xiao Yao's classmates with the best relationship are Qin Hao and Xu Liang, and the class leader Wang Zhi and Tang Xiaoling among the girls also have a good relationship with Xiao Yao.

Qin Hao and Xu Liang's family conditions are quite solid, and their lives are worry-free, but their families are not wealthy, and they have no connections in the entertainment industry. In the past few years, the relationship between the two and Xiao Yao has been good, but they have never asked Xiao Yao for help, asking Xiao Yao to help them recommend or fight for roles in any crew, just by virtue of their own efforts to win some small roles in some crews, they are still pure two little transparent in the entertainment industry.

These two former roommates are Xiao Yao's classmates with the best relationship in the class, and when they took leave to miss class in the first two years, the main thing was that the two of them helped Xiao Yao record classes and make up classes, and they also asked these two to help in the final exams of each semester. Although the two have never troubled Xiao Yao because of work matters in the past few years, Xiao Yao is still very concerned about the career development of the two of them.

Xiao Yao has never used his connections and resources to help the two of them fight for any roles, the first two years were because of the school's regulations, and their grades were not as good as Xiao Yao, going out to film too early was not necessarily a good thing for them, and then in the junior year, because they were too busy, they didn't come to find them, and they didn't take care of it. In the last semester, it was because Xiao Yao felt that instead of recommending them to other crews, it was better to prepare to help them open a project, which was also the origin of Xiao Yao's idea of opening a film and television production company with Lin Qisan and Zhao Rui and others last year.

When it comes to opening a film and television production company, last year's discussion was to be partnered by five partners of the year. This time, the five young people are still ready to leave their elders behind and use their own money to invest in the company. However, except for Xiao Yao, the money on hand of the other four is basically invested in that parkour movie, and the company is really registered, at least after the box office revenue of the parkour movie is shared.

However, it is not yet time to set up a company, and some preparations can still be carried out in advance. For example, we look for candidates for the company's administration, finance, legal affairs and other departments in advance, such as the actors and behind-the-scenes staff of the company's first TV drama project.

These things have been done by Lin Qisan more than half a year ago, and many positions have already had a shortlist in mind.

In terms of film and television, there are two systems, the director-centered system and the director-centered system, each with its own bias. As far as Huaxia is concerned, the film is mostly director-centered, and the TV series is mostly producer-centered. This time, Xiao Yao and others wanted to make a TV series, and they paid for someone to shoot it, not the director who took the script and asked them for investment, so it is basically a producer-centered system. However, Xiao Yao filmed this TV series to give students a chance to show their talents, and did not plan to interfere too much in the creative process.

Filming a TV series is a long process and there is a lot of work to be done. First of all, the first item is to have a script.

When it came time for filming, Xiao Yao still planned to invite some experienced veterans in the industry to help in the form of consultants, but in the previous script writing stage, Xiao Yao did not plan to invite any well-known screenwriters or directors to participate, but planned to convene students from the Shenju Directing Department and the Literature Department to create collectively.

Although the company has not yet been established and the funds are not in place, there is no problem in writing the script in advance. Xiao Yao said that he wanted to start a project to create a script, and Lin Qisan immediately took out the list he was looking for.

In terms of actors, Lin Qisan has two criteria for selecting people, one is to have a professional level, that is, to have as good acting skills as possible, and the other is not famous and not famous in the entertainment industry. In terms of directors and screenwriters, it is rare to be famous when they were students, and Lin Qisan basically picks those with good grades and talent.

With Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan's current fame and their influence among Shenju students, it is not a problem to gather a group of senior graduates from the Department of Literature and the Department of Directing to write the script first.

With the box office of that animated movie, those students are not afraid that they will not get money for Xiao Yaobai's work in the end. There are even some students who feel that as long as the script they write can be turned into a TV series and appear on TV, they are willing to do it without pay. After all, they are all students who have not yet graduated, and what they lack most is fame. As long as your name can appear under a screenwriter's entry on TV, the benefits to yourself are much greater than the little pay for writing a script.

Xiao Yao doesn't plan to interfere too much in the creative process, and he doesn't completely ignore it. In the script creation stage, Xiao Yao will not care about those specific plots, but the conditions and restrictions related to script creation such as the type, theme, and production budget of the TV series must be clearly explained to those directors and screenwriters, so that they can give full play to their talents in such a general framework for specific creation.

As the chief planner and chief producer of this TV series, Xiao Yao will of course review the script of each episode, but now there is still a period of time before the company is established and the crew is formed, and Xiao Yao also plans to follow the American drama method of filming and broadcasting, so he did not urge these directors and screenwriters to write all the scripts of the first season of this TV series as soon as possible, but left enough time for them to create slowly.

After returning to Huaxia, Xiao Yao summoned those directors and screenwriters to a large conference room in his personal studio for a few days, and conducted a period of brainstorming.

After Xiao Yao was busy with the formation of the screenwriting team and the guidance of the script creation in the early stage, the time was also approaching the day of the "Golden Dragon Award" award ceremony.

The outside world generally believes that "Walli" won this year's "Golden Dragon Award" Best Animated Feature Film Award is a sure thing, but on the red carpet of this year's "Golden Dragon Award", the media and fans on the sidelines were surprised to find that Xiao Yao did not appear on the red carpet show.

Even as a guest performer at the awards ceremony, he can walk the red carpet, not to mention that Xiao Yao was originally the relevant person who won the nominated works. Such a discovery was also very surprising to the media and fans.

"Why didn't you see Xiao Yao? Could it be that he was absent from the award ceremony of the "Golden Dragon Award" this year?"

"Yes, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying have passed, Sun Tingting as a guest performer has also passed, and now there is no Xiao Yao in the crew of "Wali", so it won't be that he didn't come, right?"

No wonder Sun Tingting is the guest performer. If Xiao Yao came, he should perform with Sun Tingting. ”

"But why didn't he come? Isn't his overseas movie promotion over?"

"I heard that he came back from Europe almost a week ago, and he is already a senior, and school is no reason for him to be absent from activities, so what is he doing?"

"I haven't heard that he has been filming in any crew recently!"

At the time of the red carpet show, many off-site reporters had already begun to talk about it.

The best way to answer this question is to ask Tong Luo, He Ying, Huang Shi and Ye Jiaying and Xiao Siqi as guests from the crew of "Walli". However, during the red carpet show, these outfield reporters were basically photojournalists, and they could only shoot, and it was impossible to call those guests over to ask questions. The only one who can interview guests on the red carpet is the outfield host, and the outfield host obviously knew in advance that Xiao Yao would be absent, so he didn't ask Tong Luo and the others why Xiao Yao didn't come. They can only keep this question in their hearts.

It wasn't until the "Golden Dragon Award" ceremony presented the award for the best animated feature film, and when Tong Luo came to the stage to accept the award and give a speech, the media reporters at the scene learned the reason for Xiao Yao's absence. As the most important creator of the animated film "Wall-E", Xiao Yao is the best person to receive this award. Regarding his absence, Tong Luo, who received the award, not only revealed Xiao Yao's whereabouts in his acceptance speech, explained the reason for Xiao Yao's absence, but also said a speech of thanks on behalf of Xiao Yao.

It turned out that the reason why Xiao Yao was absent from the "Golden Dragon Award" award ceremony was because Xiao Yao went to the United States again. This time, he went to the United States not for any acting work, but was appointed by the United Nations Environment Programme as a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme, and was invited to New York to participate in the World Youth Forum organized by the United Nations.

Xiao Yao's appointment as a Goodwill Ambassador by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and his invitation to attend the World Youth Forum are a testament to Xiao Yao's personal studio skills. This is because he was recommended to Headquarters by the staff of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in China. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in China will recommend Xiao Yao, not only because Xiao Yao himself is very suitable, but also because of the various work efforts done by his personal studio.

However, Xiao Yao was able to be appointed as a goodwill ambassador by the United Nations Environment Programme and was invited to attend the World Youth Forum, more because of last year's animated film "Wall-E".

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has received many recommended candidates, and it is not uncommon for them to have a more suitable personal image and fame than Xiao Yao. The reason why they chose Xiao Yao is because of Xiao Yao's connection with environmental protection. "Wall-E" has an environmental theme in the film, and it has a strong global box office performance and great influence. As the main creator of the film, Xiao Yao is not only concerned about environmental protection in the eyes of the people of UNEP, but also a person who has made concrete actions and great contributions to environmental protection. This is much stronger than other candidates, and it is only natural to choose him.

At this year's World Youth Forum, environmental protection is also a very important topic. Xiao Yao is a very young star who has a certain reputation in the world and a very sunny and healthy image. An animated film with a global box office of more than one billion dollars is also a remarkable achievement, enough to become an excellent representative of the world's youth. Since Xiao Yao has been chosen as the ambassador of the Link Planning Agency, it is only natural to invite him to participate in the World Youth Forum and give a speech.

In fact, Xiao Yao and his team knew about this news for a long time. However, Xiao Yao did not say it on his personal Weibo, nor did he let the studio's official Weibo announce the news in advance, but left it to Tong Luo to help him announce it when he received the award at the award ceremony. If his account was suddenly announced like this, Xiao Yao felt that there was a sense of showing off in it, which was very boring, and it was more natural to say it as a reason for his absence from the award ceremony. After all, this is a fact, and it is indeed the real reason for his absence from the award ceremony.

The goodwill ambassadors of the United Nations are not without Chinese people, but there are also many celebrities in the entertainment industry who serve as goodwill ambassadors of several organizations of the United Nations. Not to mention other organizations such as UNICEF, they are goodwill ambassadors of UNEP, and there are two other Chinese artists before Xiao Yao.

However, at the age of 22, he can serve as a goodwill ambassador for an organization of this level at the United Nations, let alone the Chinese, and there is no other one in the world in this world. This means that Xiao Yao, a Chinese star, will become the youngest United Nations goodwill ambassador in the world, which is still very remarkable.

As soon as Tong Luo's explanation came out, the media reporters, guests and audience at the scene were all taken aback, and then a huge burst of applause and cheers also rang out at the scene.
