Chapter 664: By the way, change the advertising space
Several celebrity mentors agreed, and Cai Zhijie lined up for everyone. If you don't dance, just walk in place or raise your legs, you can still line up 12 people in a practice room.
Cai Zhijie gave an order, and everyone followed him to do his physical training.
Chen Ziwei dared to suggest that Xiao Yao and Cai Zhijie go head-to-head, and let Xiao Yao help them fight for the benefits of not doing physical training in the future, because the sober activity that Xiao Yao took them to do this morning was to do high leg lift exercises. Although it was only done for two minutes, but when they were tired and paralyzed, Xiao Yao was just panting, and he didn't even bend his waist, Chen Ziwei had very strong confidence in Xiao Yao.
Facts have also proved that Chen Ziwei's confidence is indeed very correct.
From the beginning, Xiao Yao maintained the same action rate as Cai Zhijie. Cai Zhijie also stopped for a while on the grounds of guiding others and pulling others to continue during the training, and Xiao Yao only slowed down the frequency of his movements a little at that time, and did not stop. When everyone else couldn't hold on to stop, only Xiao Yao was left in the audience who could still follow Cai Zhijie's command.
In the end, this training turned into a PK between Cai Zhijie and Xiao Yao. After about four minutes, Cai Zhijie finally insisted on stopping first.
"You cow!" Cai Zhijie bent down and held his knees and gasped for a few breaths, stretched out his thumb to Xiao Yao and said, "Your physical fitness is simply a monster." ”
Xiao Yao smiled and did not answer.
In the charity star basketball game that year, Xiao Yao also practiced the secret weapon of air catch dunk with Guo Qi after participating in the training class. During that training, Guo Qi gave Xiao Yao an evaluation, not to mention basketball skills and dunk and the like, in terms of physical fitness, Xiao Yao is also at the level of a professional athlete.
"Of course, our senior is a monster!" Xiao Yao didn't speak, but Chen Ziwei interjected.
"Go, did you talk like that?" Xiao Yao glared at Chen Ziwei.
Chen Ziwei lowered her head, looked at Cai Zhijie and said, "Teacher Zhijie, say okay, in the future, our group won't have to do physical training like you!"
"Okay, I'm willing to lose the bet!" Cai Zhijie nodded, "At least for this week, I won't ask you to do this exercise again." "This training of his was also thought of on a whim for the effect of the show, and it didn't have much impact if he didn't do it.
"Don't worry, if we practice three times a day, their physical fitness will definitely not regress!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "This week, if Chen Ziwei's weight can still increase, I will admit punishment!"
"Huh?" Chen Ziwei screamed.
"Haha~" Several teachers laughed happily.
After laughing for a while, several instructors said goodbye and left, and Xiao Yao and several girls also resumed dance practice.
After this time, several mentors seemed to recognize Xiao Yao's ability very much. In the next two days, whether it is two dance teachers or two vocal teachers, they always like to come to Xiao Yao's group when they have nothing to do, only the rap teacher comes less often because Xiao Yao's performance repertoire does not have rap. However, after the four teachers came, they usually just watched from the sidelines, and did not intervene in guiding the practice of this group, leaving Xiao Yao to let it go.
Two days later, Xiao Yao felt that the singing and dancing of the six people had a good look. On the morning of the fourth day, Xiao Yao took six trainees into the recording studio to record the vocal accompaniment needed for the half-open microphone performance, and in the afternoon, Pei Minyi was called to the practice room.
asked Pei Minyi to come over, and naturally asked her to design the stage image and costumes for the trainees. After the six trainees greeted Pei Minyi, Xiao Yao asked the six of them to dance the dance performed by Pei Minyi.
"Boss, are you serious? Or is it to satisfy your bad taste?" After watching the dance performed by the six people, Pei Minyi pulled Xiao Yao aside and asked in a low voice.
"What's the bad taste?" Xiao Yao asked puzzled.
"The name of the song is Learn to Meow, the lyrics are Meow Meow, and the dance moves have these imitation cat movements," Pei Minyi said, "Do you want me to give them the kind of costumes with cat ears on their heads, tails on their backs, and a pair of fluffy cat's paw gloves on their hands? Do you want to get six cats on stage?"
"Don't," Xiao Yao hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's enough to have cats in the lyrics and dance, and it's enough to dress up as a cat in terms of costumes." And this performance is not six of them, but seven of them, and I'm going to perform on stage too, I don't want to wear any cat costumes!"
"So," Pei Minyi said, "what do you think?"
After listening to this song and watching this dance, the first thing that came to Pei Minyi's mind was the cat's dress. However, as soon as Xiao Yao said that he was also going to perform on stage, knowing that Xiao Yao would definitely not accept Pei Minyi, who would perform on stage in that image, he knew that what Xiao Yao said was true. After all, seven people perform together, and the style of image modeling must also be unified.
"I don't want a cat costume, that's too much of an exaggeration. Xiao Yao said, "The song is sweet and cute, and the dance is cute and cute, so the style I want is the kind of fresh and cute girl-next-door category, and it is best to be the kind of image that can make people feel like first love at a glance." ”
"Okay, I see!" Pei Minyi nodded.
has been in Yin Xi's studio for so long, and such an image modeling is not too difficult for Pei Minyi.
After discussing with Xiao Yao, Pei Minyi went to chat with the six trainees again, and also collected some of their body data by the way. Xiao Yao pointed out the style he wanted, and Pei Minyi was responsible for the specific image design and clothing matching, which is why Xiao Yao brought Pei Minyi here.
After having a general and detailed understanding of the personalities and figures of the six trainees, Pei Minyi took his leave and left.
The program team has a strong costume department, Xiao Yao was not ready to customize the performance costumes for the six trainees this time, but only needed to select and match from the massive costumes provided by the program team and make some small modifications, so a day later, Pei Minyi matched the costumes for the six trainees.
The costumes for this performance are only more uniform in style, but they are obviously not a series. The six girls have long skirts and short skirts, long pants and shorts, shirts and T-shirts, and their hairstyles are also single ponytails and double ponytails, black and straight, but no matter which image they are, in addition to highlighting the personal body characteristics of the trainees, they all feel very fresh and girl-next-door style.
Although there is a queen among the six Lori, not all of them are the type of girls next door, but for the stage image designed by Pei Minyi for everyone, the six girls are very satisfied, but they are much more suitable than Xiao Yao's song and dance.
The problem of costume modeling was solved, Xiao Yao and the six girls became more and more tacit, and the practice progress was also good. In this smooth situation, Xiao Yao also accomplished another thing.
This matter is also related to Xiao Yao's group's performance songs, but it is not related to the performance. When Xiao Yao decided to perform the song on the first day, he once told several trainees that he would make up a gesture dance for the song, and let the six of them turn the song into an Internet divine comedy. When I said this, there was a shooting crew in the practice room. This matter was quickly reported to the program director by the film crew's follow-up director.
Although Xiao Yao wanted to take the video of several trainees in the show to gesture and dance to the short video APP of one of the sponsors, although it had nothing to do with the performance, the trainees were the people of the show, and it involved the products of the sponsors of the show, and this matter quickly changed from a private matter to a public matter. After hearing about this, the program director team and the sponsor representative called "Mars Short Video" found Xiao Yao together.
Of course, they didn't look for Xiao Yao to stop Xiao Yao from doing this, but they were afraid that Xiao Yao would just talk casually and want to finalize this matter. Xiao Yao originally just wanted to create a fun Internet Divine Comedy, and by the way, he helped several trainees in the group to raise their morale, and then used this as an excuse to reduce some of the practice time delayed by shooting commercials. Seeing that the program team and sponsors attach so much importance to it, Xiao Yao also took the opportunity to put forward some conditions.
The first condition was given to several trainees in the group. The six trainees in Xiao Yao's group are all very popular, but there is always a difference between high and low, not every one of them is favored by sponsors, and only four of the six people have taken sponsor advertisements. Xiao Yao's first condition is that all six trainees will shoot gesture dance videos, and the videos of the six people must be broadcast in the behind-the-scenes footage of the show, and the sponsor's short video software must also be recommended to the homepage without discrimination.
The second condition is for yourself. Xiao Yao's own fame is enough, and he doesn't care if he can appear on the homepage of "Mars Short Video", but his animated film is currently in the publicity period, he doesn't need to be promoted, his movie needs to be promoted.
Now that mobile phone short video software is more popular, Xiao Yao has included "Mars short video" in his publicity plan along with "Shooting" and "Sound Creation". The length of a single video of "Mars Short Video" is limited to about 20 seconds, and Xiao Yao also deliberately cut a 20-second ultra-short movie promotional video. There are promotional advertising spaces available on various mobile phone applications, but Xiao Yao's plan is only to operate in the form of individual user uploads, and he does not plan to spend money to buy promotional advertising spaces for these mobile phone video software.
This time, the sponsor representative of the "Mars Short Video" took the initiative to come to the door, and Xiao Yao was ready to take advantage of this to win the recommended advertising space on the homepage of the software. Therefore, Xiao Yao's second condition is to change this short video software to hang the ultra-short movie promotional video uploaded by himself on their homepage recommendation position for a month at the cost of choreographing gesture dances for the trainees.
As for the program team, because Xiao Yao talked to Haiyan Video about some cooperation in promoting the film when he agreed to participate in this show as a star senior, he didn't make any additional requirements for himself this time.
Xiao Yao's two requirements are not a problem for the program team and sponsors. It didn't take long for the three parties to discuss, and the program team and the sponsor agreed. Then, the program team and sponsors were waiting for Xiao Yao's gesture dance for a few trainees.
In the first few days of practice, Xiao Yao didn't say a word about gesture dancing. Not only did the trainees ask curiously, but the program team and sponsors also urged them. However, Xiao Yao said that everyone hadn't even practiced the dance on stage, and they didn't have the heart to choreograph gesture dance, which could be regarded as stimulating the girls' enthusiasm for practice.
During the lunch break on the fifth day, Xiao Yao finally took out the gesture dance of the song. A video of "Mars Short Video" is only twenty seconds at most, so Xiao Yao's gesture dance is only based on the first piece of music of the song, and the whole paragraph is only about fifteen seconds.
Gesture dance has only hand movements, no foot movements, and is relatively simple in design. Due to the song, the movements of this gesture dance are also derived from the dance moves performed on stage. A fifteen-second gesture dance is still a simple version of the dance moves performed on stage, and it is still very easy for trainees to learn. During a lunch break, all six trainees learned.
Under Xiao Yao's instruction and inspiration, the six trainees still had some of their own performances, and changed some of their movements and expressions when shooting the gesture dance video. The six gesture dance videos were filmed, and not all of them were exactly the same.
The six gesture dance videos with the same songs, generally similar, and different details, netizens will definitely think that they can have their own play and add their own creativity after watching it. This will stimulate the enthusiasm of netizens to follow the trend of shooting videos, and will naturally bring more users and topics to the short video software.
The program team and sponsors were very satisfied with the cute videos that Xiao Yao took for the six trainees, and after watching them, they even wanted some other popular trainees to shoot one.
Xiao Yao did not oppose this additional idea of the program team and sponsors, but he did not participate either. To put it simply, he wants to shoot casually, but he is not responsible for teaching, and he follows the video to learn by himself.
This is a recorded program, and the week's practice is to be broadcast in one episode. The background music of the gesture dance is the public performance song of Xiao Yao's group, out of the need to keep the performance song confidential, although the video of the gesture dance was filmed, it was not immediately uploaded to the short video software and Haiyan video, but it will not be announced until this episode of the program is broadcast.
Although the gesture dance video has not been uploaded and announced, with Xiao Yao, a golden signboard who has created two online divine comedies and dances, several trainees have very positive expectations for the increase in popularity after the video is uploaded and released.
The video of the gesture dance video is done, and the rest is the performance of the weekend. In the next few days, the trainees' enthusiasm for practice also increased a little. However, even though they attached great importance to this performance and their enthusiasm for practice was very high, several people still strictly abided by Xiao Yao's regulations, and only practiced until about eleven o'clock at the latest every day, never staying up late to practice.
The days passed by in everyone's practice, and before I knew it, it was the day of the performance.
The venue of the performance is not in the filming base of Haiyan Group, but in a professional performance venue in Hangzhou that hosts concerts and other events. The performance time is in the evening, and the staff of the program team will go to set up the performance venue in the morning, and the performers will set off after lunch and conduct on-site rehearsals in the afternoon.
The combination of six groups of trainees and star seniors took turns to rehearse, and Xiao Yao's group was arranged in the penultimate place. The rehearsal for their group went smoothly and it didn't take long to complete the rehearsal.
After the rehearsal, everyone generally went back to the lounge to rest and recharge for the evening performance, but Xiao Yao, who was in a relaxed mood and couldn't stay idle, quietly slipped out and ran outside to take a look.
Although there is still a long time before the official start of the show and the audience enters, there is already a large crowd of people waiting to enter the entrance at the entrance. Looking at the fans who were extremely excited and holding all kinds of supporters in front of him, Xiao Yao was also taken aback by the formation of fans of most of these trainees who had not officially debuted.
