Entertaining Children

  Chapter 1201 Cautious and Optimistic

  "Character of an Actor" is the last arrangement before the movie is released in Xiao Yao's film promotion plan. After recording the show, Xiao Yao only waited for the premiere of the film a few days later.

  What Xiao Yao said in the show, Xiao Yao has always done what he said. On the third day after the stage performance was recorded, Xiao Yao contacted the "Actor's Character" program group, asked about the list of new actors who were eliminated in the third stage, and helped the new actors in his group who were not eliminated to ask for leave.

  According to the rules of the program, the number of new actors eliminated this time is half. The six newcomer actors in Xiao Yao's group, proportionally speaking, should eliminate three of them, but the actual result is that only two newcomer actors in Xiao Yao's group are eliminated.

Since the performance was the first place in the audience’s vote, all six people received extra points. In addition, every actor in the group performed well during the performance. At that time, when the professional teacher group gave the individual score, everyone’s score was Not low, so the rankings of the six newcomers in Xiao Yao's group have all been promoted. The two newcomers who were originally in Class D and ranked low did not get rid of the fate of being eliminated, but the two newcomers who were originally in Class C managed to squeeze into the upper half of the personal rankings, avoiding the fate of being eliminated. .

  The two newcomers who have just been eliminated have no work these days, and there is no problem participating in the premiere. As for the four new actors who are still on the show, Xiao Yao will ask for leave from the show crew for them.

  In "Creation 101" the year before last, Xiao Yao asked the team members to participate in the film premiere because it was the time of the trainees. Those who are unable to participate will owe them first, and use future film premieres to make up. And this time Xiao Yao directly said that he would ask for leave for them. In addition to the different recording stages of the two shows, it was also because Xiao Yao put the premiere of the movie in Shanghai. The film premiere and the show were shot in the same city, which is naturally much more convenient.

  When the animated film "Wali" premiered the year before, "Creation 101" had been recorded, and the girl group had a work schedule immediately after its establishment. The "Character of an Actor" has not yet been recorded at this time, and the four newcomers are still recording the show in the filming base. There is no other work arrangement possible.

  The premiere of the movie is in the evening. Newcomer actors usually don't have classes at night. They usually practice on their own or the program group arranges some independent tasks for them. It does not involve professional teacher groups to teach them, so the impact on the program and them will naturally be smaller. It is relatively easy to ask for leave as long as it is not for recording large-scale events such as public performances. The recording of large-scale events is usually separated by a week. Xiao Yao’s film premiere is only three days after the third stage performance, so there is no problem in asking for leave.

  When Xiao Yao recorded the show, the program team once said that he was allowed to take the newcomer actors out of the shooting base. If Xiao Yao really took people out at that time, the show crew would definitely have to follow the film. This time the six newcomer actors participating in Xiao Yao’s film premiere is considered a personal act, but after all, it was because Xiao Yao participated in their show that this happened. In addition, the show has not ended at this time, so I help Xiao Yao When the four people asked for leave, the program team also asked to send a filming team to follow the filming at the premiere.

  The show "Character of an Actor" has been aired for several episodes. Although it is not comparable to the talent show of those idol groups, the popularity is still very good. Even if the program team put the content of the six new actors in the film premiere in the stage after the stage show, the film is still in the stage of being released, and the promotion of the film is still good, so Xiao Yao did not refuse the show. This requirement of the group.

These six newcomers must have a certain topicality and star effect to participate in the film premiere, but compared with the entire premiere, the influence of these six plus the show on Qiqu.com is relatively limited. . Although Xiao Yao agreed to the program team’s follow-up request, he did not make any special arrangements for them. He only gave them the right to film and freely move within a certain range, and asked them not to interfere with the normal premiere activities and activities. Process.

  The film premiere, the protagonist is naturally the main creative team of the film, followed by the stars who came to join in and help the platform.

  In terms of production cost, this movie can only be regarded as a small-cost movie. Among the actors, only Xiao Yao, He Ying and Sun Tingting are relatively well-known stars. Among them, Sun Tingting is also a newcomer actor who appeared in film and television for the first time. Most of her popularity comes from her relationship with Xiao Yao and her achievements in music. So speaking of it, only Xiao Yao and He Ying are the only people in the main creative team who can afford to stand up. However, the number of big-name celebrities who came to join in and help on the platform was no weaker than the general luxury production team and the big productions of the star cast.

  The premiere of Xiao Yao's film has always been without a red carpet link, and this time is no exception. For such a small-cost movie, there is no red carpet link, but it is still able to invite so many big celebrities to the platform. Many media reporters who came to report the interview were a little surprised.

The reason for the surprise of "little" is that on the one hand, it is because of Xiao Yao’s current popularity and popularity on the Internet. On the other hand, it is because of the appearance of Zhao Rui, Lin Qisan and others that they thought of the identity and identity of the group of people. The family background, farther away, is thinking of the film and television company that their group of people co-founded.

  After the parkour movie on the Spring Festival last year was released, Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, Lin Qisan and others did not have any film and television works, but the actions were not small at all. First, a few people formed a film and television company in partnership, and then two very topical projects were announced.

  A TV drama project for the newcomers of Quanshen Opera and a movie project for the newcomers of Quanyan Opera? At first glance, it seems that they are just two fun, gimmicky projects that are bigger than actual projects, but the reality is that the ratings and topicality of the TV drama project are good, it is a small hit, and the response and box office of the movie released at the end of the year are also good. not bad. The industry's evaluation is that after these two projects, their film and television company basically has a firm foothold in the industry.

  In addition, these two projects also revealed a lot of information.

  First, whether it is in front of the scene or behind the scenes, young film and television companies really dare to let the lesser-known newcomers take the lead in the project.

  Second, this company has no contracted artists except for a few bosses who are star actors.

  When TV series and movies are released, the media has revealed that most of the newcomers and actors have not signed a brokerage company. After the TV series were broadcast and the movie was released, the new actors and actresses were considered small and well-known, and basically signed a contract with a brokerage company, but none of them signed a contract with Xiao Yao and his young film and television company.

These newcomers are popular among young film and television companies. It is unreasonable that this company can't compete with others in the matter of signing contracts. Even if there are occasional individual competitions that are not as good as other companies' conditions, it is impossible not to sign all of them. To. So the only conclusion is that the company has no plans to sign artists.

  Third, these two projects not only make a small profit in the economy, but also have a good reputation. A new company, the first two projects with brand new people as the team, not only can make money, but also have a good reputation, it is very rare. It's not just a matter of connections and resources, it definitely requires strong business capabilities.

  After the launch of the "Donkey Deshui" publicity campaign, all aspects of the film's information were also reported by the media. From this movie, the industry can see two pieces of information. First, all the actors in this movie have either signed with other agencies or have not signed a contract with a company. The youth company does not sign artists. Second, the film’s starring lineup includes three generations of actors, including old, middle-aged and young actors, and there are also top-notch actors like He Ying. Young people's film and television companies are not only looking for new actors, only new actors.

  In this way, whether it is a new actor who wants to get ahead, or an old actor who values ​​word of mouth or wants to transform and want to get a good word of mouth, they will undoubtedly be very willing to cooperate with this company. And those artists’ agency companies are definitely willing to let their artists participate in the company’s projects.

  Previously, Xiao Yao and others participated in the premiere of several movies, and there were also many big-name stars who came to help the platform. But in general, the outside world generally believes that the big coffees are for the face of the elders in Xiao Yao and others' circle and the future potential of their young people. This time, many media reporters suddenly felt that the film and television company founded by these young people in a group seems to have become a new force in the industry that cannot be underestimated.

  Since it has become a new force that cannot be underestimated, no matter whether it is the individual celebrity or the company behind him, it will naturally not be ignored. It is not surprising that such a celebrity will come to join in to help the platform tonight.

   However, in any industry, the rise of an emerging power will face various challenges. In addition to its own survival and development, it is usually suppressed by the original inherent old power. The same is true in the film and television industry. Even if Xiao Yao and others are the second generation of stars, with a good family background and personal connections behind them, but you as a wolf cub rushed in to grab the cake, presumably other established companies would not sit back and watch. Can these young people stand it?

  This issue is something Xiao Yao, as the company’s biggest boss, needs to consider. However, Xiao Yao started the film and television company on a whim and made his decision. Although Ye Jiaying and other elders have also cryptically hinted at such problems, Xiao Yao didn't plan to take precautions before such things happened.

  The so-called "soldiers come to block, waters come to cover", if you really encounter a problem, Xiao Yao believes that based on his experience of two lives and a brain that is far superior to ordinary people in this life, it is generally not really impossible to solve it. Even if it cannot be resolved, the big deal is to admit defeat and shut down the company. Anyway, these few of them have the ability to take care of them and take care of them at home. Even if they don't have a company, their survival will never be a problem. Instead of worrying about the things that haven't happened yet, it's better to focus on the things in front of you.

  The thing before Xiao Yao, of course, is this premiere.

  Premiere Xiao Yao has participated in many premieres. He has participated in designing and arranging the premiere several times as a master and as an investor and producer. For the film premiere, Xiao Yao has not much new feelings anymore.

  It’s okay to go to the premiere of other people’s movies. It’s nothing more than to show up, watch a movie or add some performances, or at most, simply exaggerate when interviewing media reporters. But as one of the main creative team or the producer of the movie premiere, you have to greet other stars who come to help the platform, come on stage to communicate before and after the show, and maybe even perform. Even if the red carpet and road show were cancelled, Xiao Yao felt a little annoyed.

  When the animated film "Wali" premiered the year before, Xiao Yao had already had the idea of ​​not going to the premiere or not participating at all. But last year’s parkour movie is of great significance to the parkour team. This year’s "Donkey Deshui" is Sun Tingting’s first film, and it is also his first film collaboration with Sun Tingting, which is very important to him. , So even if I feel tired, I still have to do it.

  The premiere is still the same process and routine. Before the screening, the host introduces the main creative team, conducts on-site interviews, and asks the main creative team to talk about creative thoughts and creations and some interesting things during the shooting. On-site media reporters and audiences ask questions, the main creative team answers, and then the film is released, and some more after the film is over After the screening, we exchanged ideas, listened to the audience's thoughts, and answered some questions. Finally, the organizer came over to send memorial gifts and collectively wished a big box office.

  In addition, some premieres will also arrange performances.

  Xiao Yao’s previous premieres did not always include performances, but this time it did. The performance program scheduled for this premiere was Xiao Yao's live accompaniment, and Sun Tingting sang the movie theme song "I Want You" live.

The movie "Donkey Deshui" has only one song, which is both a theme song, an ending song, an interlude and a promotional song. The songwriter is Xiao Yao, and the singer is Sun Tingting. There is no copyright issue. Both of them are members of the creative team. Sitting on the stage, it is natural to sing live at the premiere.

  This is also the only show at the premiere.

When planning this premiere before, the distributor and the organizer also suggested that Xiao Yao sing the Mongolian song that his blacksmith sang in the film at the premiere, or recite the blacksmith's tricks and education in the film. Those few Mongolian words that the commissioner recites, or those few **** words in English that don’t make sense.

  These three suggestions were all politely and firmly rejected by Xiao Yao. If it is said that Sun Tingting should perform something at the premiere, Xiao Yao would rather agree. It is a pity that the song Sun Tingting sings in the movie is the theme song of the movie. It was originally a show. As for the poem translated by the "blacksmith" in the movie, it is really ineffective and has no meaning for performance.

   Xiao Yao has never felt that China has very authoritative and professional film critics, so after a movie is released, Xiao Yao doesn't care much about the evaluation of the media and the so-called film critics, only the box office and the evaluation of ordinary audiences.

In terms of what attracts Xiao Yao the most about the premiere, that is, you can see the audience’s reaction when watching the movie on the spot, and in the post-screening communication link, you can hear the media and the audience face to face for the first time, especially It is the audience's evaluation of the movie, and he can use this to make a preliminary judgment on the prospect of the movie.

  The pre-screening session of the premiere lasted more than half an hour in total, and the length of the movie was about one and a half hours. So half an hour after the premiere, after entering the movie screening, Xiao Yao could observe the real reaction of the audience when watching the movie. Two hours later, Xiao Yao heard the audience's comments on the movie.

   Judging from the audience's performance when watching the movie at the premiere and the audience's comments during the post-screening exchanges, the film gave the audience a very good feeling.

However, the premiere is only one event. Even if the venue is not the theater’s projection hall, the number of audiences is relatively limited, and the audience who will grab tickets for the premiere is a certain member of the creative team. Fans of a star are more likely. In other words, in general, the proportion of celebrity fans in these audiences is relatively high. Therefore, the feedback from these live audiences at the premiere not only represents only a small part of the audience, but it is also likely to have a certain bias.

  How the vast majority of ordinary audiences perceive this movie, and how the movie’s final box office and scoring scores are, still have to wait a few days after the large-scale official release of the movie, or even after the movie is released.

  So, even if the feedback from the audience at the premiere is good, Xiao Yao is optimistic about the future of the film, and this optimism is also cautiously optimistic.
