Entertaining Children

  Chapter 1044 Overseas Promotion

  Although the three most important protagonists in this movie are all Chinese actors, this movie was shot in the United States, and there are more foreign actors than Chinese actors, so the language used in the movie is all English. However, the movie will be released in China, and a Mandarin version will be produced just like the imported foreign movies. This is also after "Wali", the second movie that Xiao Yao participated in was shown in both Chinese and English versions at the same time on Huaxia's theaters.

  The previous "Wali" was an animated film. Each character in the Chinese and English versions was dubbed by one person. That's because the voice actor Xiao Yao chose was originally proficient in two languages. This parkour movie is a live-action movie. There are more foreign actors than Chinese actors, so naturally you can't do that anymore. However, in the Chinese version of this movie, Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, Xu Fei, and Chen Xiaoting did the Chinese dubbing of the roles played by several Chinese actors and actresses themselves. Only those foreign actors were hired to do the Chinese dubbing. Chinese dubbing.

  In the Chinese dubbing version, English is spoken in the movie screen, but Chinese is displayed. The mouth shape is definitely not right. If it's a foreign actor's role, it's fine, anyway, all the translated films are like that, it's not surprising. However, when several characters of Xiao Yao and others appeared in this movie, the audience clearly looked at the pictures of Xiao Yao and others, and what they heard in their ears were also the voices of Xiao Yao and others, but their voices and mouth shapes were wrong. Sorry, it's also a very novel movie-watching experience. For the Mandarin version of this movie, it is also a big highlight.

In the publicity activities before the movie’s release, the two bilingual versions of the movie were released at the same time. The fact that Xiao Yao and others dubbed themselves has been revealed in some variety shows and talk shows. Many viewers knew this in advance. I also look forward to seeing such a picture.

  However, at the premiere of the movie, the audience on the spot was not able to see such a scene.

   Xiao Yao is a person who prefers the original version, and feels that the original version only has a taste. Regardless of the language of the film and television works, even if it is a language that Xiao Yao doesn't know, Xiao Yao would rather watch the original version by watching the subtitles instead of watching the translated version. The two language versions were released in China to cater for audiences who are not good at English and unwilling to watch subtitles. Of course, it is also for box office performance. However, at the premiere of the film, Xiao Yao must show the original English version.

  At the premiere of "Wali" last year, Xiao Yao showed the original English version. This time, at the premiere of "Parkour Boy", Xiao Yao also chose to show the original English version.

  Although the audience at the premiere did not have the chance to see Xiao Yao and others dubbing themselves, the audio and video were the same but they were not comfortable with the lip-synching picture, but they were not disappointed. After all, this is just an interesting point in this movie. They are more concerned about the whole movie and want to see what this movie is like.

  From the plot point of view, this movie is not brilliant. However, this is an action movie, not a suspenseful drama. The audience is not very demanding on the plot of this movie. As long as there is no major logical flaw, it will do. Everyone is watching this movie. Action scenes in action movies.

  Except for the plot, this movie is still very characteristic in other aspects, and it is also of the level of the box list. As an action movie, what audiences value most is the action scene, and this is the biggest feature of this movie.

  Parkour has been around for many years. Over the years, parkour actions and parkour-like actions have not never appeared in other movies, but the proportion of parkour content in those movies is relatively low. Really all action scenes are parkour-style parkour movies. It's the first one in this world.

  Following a series of publicity activities before the movie’s release, parkour has also been relatively hot recently. Many viewers have watched some parkour videos on the Internet. However, there is still a big gap between the parkour videos of daily life and the action scenes of parkour presented through movie shots.

Because the scenes in the movie have a plot, the audience has a sense of excitement. In addition, the soundtrack and Mu Ying are very distinctive in the action scenes, and the sharp editing style of the lens makes the audience feel It is countless times cooler than watching those parkour videos. In the process of watching the movie, the audience shouted in exclamation several times, and there were a lot of voices that could not help but shout "cool".

  In addition to the very characteristic action scenes, this movie is also very good in other aspects, and in some aspects it can even be considered excellent.

  In a movie, although there are dedicated teams for art, photography, soundtrack, and editing, the director’s participation is indispensable for any of them.

  As a professional photographer, Xiao Yao is very good at color composition. After the previous animated film "Wali" was released, some professionals praised "Wali" for its excellent color and composition. In this live-action film, Xiao Yao also cooperated with the crew's art department and photography department. Maintained a high standard in this regard.

  The soundtrack and editing in the later stage are the specialties of Xiao Yao and Mu Ying respectively. Except for the two film episodes, the soundtrack of the film was basically created by Xiao Yao and the soundtrack. In the later editing, Xiao Yao, who participated remotely, only provided some opinions, mainly by Mu Ying and the editor. In addition to the excellent soundtrack and lens editing in the parkour scene, the overall soundtrack and editing are also good in this movie.

  In terms of performance, although this movie has little room for actors to play in literary and opera, but all the actors’ acting skills are basically online, and there is no special awkward acting that makes people play.

  In addition, although there is nothing special about the main plot of this movie, there are still some interesting stunts and highlights in the details of the plot.

For example, when the police officer of the police station introduced the seven-person parkour team at the beginning of the film, they also mentioned that the messy behaviors of their "troubleshooters" were learned from the Internet, and they learned from a Chinese called "YRF". The team also scolded a few words of "YRF". When the characters played by Xiao Yao and several people were at the party, they also discussed the idol "YRF" and took out the tablet computer to watch their video together.

   Seeing Xiao Yao and the others in the movie appeared in the movie characters scolding them in reality, and let the protagonist team treat them as idols in reality, there was no lack of laughter at the scene, and there were even some "噫~" boos.

  On the whole, the quality of this film is still very good. The audience basically felt that it was absolutely above the pass line. After the screening, there was a burst of warm applause.

  After the movie is over, there will be a shorter post-screening exchange meeting. The creative staff and the host returned to the stage amid the applause of the audience.

  Post-screening communication is mainly for some exchanges on the content of the movie. After the main creators came to the stage and bowed to express their gratitude to the audience, the host, the media and the audience exchanged their feelings and questions after watching the film.

  The exchange meeting after the screening was not long, it only lasted for about ten minutes and ended. Finally, amid the applause of the guests and the audience, the premiere ended smoothly.

On the second day after the premiere, media reporters who participated in the premiere issued reports about the premiere and commented on the film. Some guest stars and ordinary audiences who participated in the premiere were also on their social accounts. Some feelings about the premiere and comments on the film were sent out on it. However, Xiao Yao and others only saw a small part of it, because on the second day after the premiere, the film creator and the "Immortals" band flew to the United States non-stop.

  This time the film was released globally, and the whole team ran in several major ticket warehouse countries. Since the movie has already been released, the publicity activities arranged by the distributor are relatively simple. Basically, each country only goes to one or two cities, and each city only stays for one day. There were only two activity tasks on this day, an outdoor parkour performance and a meeting with the audience in a theater. Of course, this arrangement does not include the United States.

As the world’s largest ticket warehouse country and filming location, the film’s creative team not only regards the United States as the first overseas country outside of China on the itinerary of promotional activities, but also the time spent in the United States and activities carried out in other overseas countries. It's different.

  In the United States, there are parkour performances and audience meetings in theaters. In addition, the main creative team not only runs in more cities in the United States, but also has one more event to participate in.

Compared to other movies, outdoor parkour performances are a special way of publicity, but for Xiao Yao and his crew, because parkour performances are performed in several countries, they are part of the routine of this movie. promotional activity. For Xiao Yao and the other creators, the truly special publicity activities include participating in the Spring Festival Gala and premiere in China, and in the United States, it is the NBA All-Star Weekend celebrity game.

  At last year's All-Star Celebrity Game, Xiao Yao not only won the tie MVP, but also presented a very appropriate and wonderful performance during the intermission, which was very impressive. Zhuo Zhiyuan has participated in three NBA celebrity tournaments. The organizers mainly value his popularity and influence in China and his basketball skills. Xiao Yao's popularity in China is not inferior to Zhuo Zhiyuan, and his popularity in the United States and his performance in the Masters are far superior, and he is naturally a suitable candidate to participate in the Masters.

Under normal circumstances, this year’s NBA All-Star Celebrity Tournament will invite Xiao Yao again, not to mention that Xiao Yao made another big news at the October Comic Con, his animated movie "Wali" The United States has also achieved very good results and has a high degree of enthusiasm. Of course, the organizers of the Masters will not let it go. In January, the organizers of the NBA Celebrity Tournament once again sent out an invitation to Xiao Yao.

  The publicity plan of the movie is determined after the release schedule is determined. The time for Xiao Yao and others to go to the United States for publicity was mid-February, just in time for the All-Star Weekend of the NBA. There was not enough time. However, Xiao Yao came to the United States this time to promote the film. He didn't want to act alone, so he didn't want to participate in the competition as a team member.

  But Xiao Yao did not directly reject the organizer of the celebrity match, because the organizer of the celebrity match not only invited Xiao Yao as a player to compete, but also invited Xiao Yao as a guest performer to perform in the midfield. In any case, All-Star Weekend is a cultural and sports event in the United States. It is a very good platform for publicity, and Xiao Yao doesn't want to miss it.

  Xiao Yao did not agree to be a member of the game because he knew that it was impossible to bring Zhao Rui and Xu Fei and other people to the game, but it was still possible to perform midfield performances with the American band "Immortals". It is also a very good publicity for the movie to perform the interlude of the movie during the intermission of the Masters.

Of course, Xiao Yao didn’t think about taking Zhao Rui and other six starring actors to perform parkour during the intermission of the Masters, but the basketball court is still different from the party stage, and basketball is originally a sport. When performing another sport there, Xiao Yao felt that not only might it seem a little silly, but the effect is estimated to be not very good. Finally, he gave up the idea and only discussed with the organizer whether he could not be a team member, but with "Immortals" went to the halftime show together.

  How to say "Immortals" A band that also performed on the stage of the Oscars. Although the Oscar performance was due to the addition of the middle school student band status, the development of the band after the middle school student status faded in the past few years has been relatively ordinary, but the past few years have also accumulated a lot of popularity, and it is also very popular among the younger generation of bands Welcome. They might almost be performing in the celebrity tournament alone, but with Xiao Yao as a topical character, that would definitely be enough, so after the organizers negotiated with Xiao Yao, they finally agreed.

  Compared to the road show, the event of the All-Star Weekend Masters is obviously much more important. The American distributor and promoter of the film also made the Masters the beginning of the entire overseas promotion plan. This year's NBA All-Star Weekend was held in New York. The first stop of Xiao Yao and others' publicity in the United States was also scheduled in New York.

   Xiao Yao and others arrived in New York at noon, and the start time of the Masters was the evening of the next day, local time. Xiao Yao and the others spent half a day and one night on the jet lag. The next day they spent half a day rehearsing and participating in the celebrity midfield performance in the evening. This time was also closely arranged.

  Although you can't bring other protagonists of the movie to the celebrity game, it is still possible to bring them to watch the game. As performers, they will receive some free tickets from the organizer so that they can bring their family and friends to watch their performances. There are five members in the "Immortals" band, and a large number of free tickets have been allocated, and there is no pressure to bring the other eight movie creators.

  In the evening, Xiao Yao and his group set off to the arena where the game was held. Although everyone set off together, they did not enter the stadium together to sit in the audience, because the five members of the "Immortals" band were performing guests and there was a red carpet ceremony. After arriving outside the arena, Mu Ying took other film creators into the auditorium of the stadium through the audience passage, while Xiao Yao and the other five were taken to the lounge, waiting for the staff to notify the red carpet.
