Entertaining Children

   Chapter 998 Movie Premiere

  After three days of exams in school, it’s time for the premiere of Xiao Yao’s animated film.

  Like Ye Jiaying’s directorial debut "127 Hours" last year, Xiao Yao’s animated film has only had an internal filming meeting. There was no trial screening or spot-screening activities, and it was directly premiered.

  Many movie premieres are before the film’s official release, mainly for celebration and promotion, attracting more people to go to the theater to buy tickets to watch the movie. Xiao Yao’s animated film is the same as Ye Jiaying’s "127 Hours", and the premiere is directly on the night before it is released. The time for the premiere of the movie is at midnight on the day of the release, which is directly the first screening of the official release.

  However, the premiere of this animated film is different from "127 Hours", that is, the location of the premiere is not in Yanjing, but in Shencheng, which makes it more convenient for Xiao Yao who is taking the exam. In view of the fact that the stars and reporters who came at the premiere of "127 Hours" exceeded expectations, Xiao Yao did not put the premiere in the theater's theater this time, but deliberately found a theater that could accommodate thousands of spectators.

  Generally speaking, the stars and media reporters who come to help the platform at the premiere are invited by the film’s main creative celebrity team, film producers, and distributors. Although Xiao Yao’s animation film was produced by Xiao Yao himself and a small company that mainly produces game animations and special effects. The level of the distribution company is one level worse than the distribution company of "127 Hours", but With Xiao Yao's personal connections and appeal, the number of celebrities and media reporters who came to join the show was no less than that of the premiere of "127 Hours".

  The movie's release time is at midnight on June 25th, and the premiere will start at 11pm on the 24th. This night was the day when Shonan Satellite TV held the "Graduation Song Party". Even if they left early after the performance, the four girls from the 101st women's group had no time to come to Shencheng from Shonan. Therefore, among the six girls who Xiao Yao agreed to be invited to participate in the premiere on the show, only Chen Ziwei and Yang Shiyun, who were not on the list of the last eleven, came to participate.

Although Chen Ziwei and Yang Shiyun, who are not low in popularity after the online variety show, have also gained a high reputation, let alone the two who did not make their debut in a group, all the eleven people over there came. On an occasion like the premiere, the starlight will also be overshadowed.

  However, whether it is a big coffee or a small coffee, Xiao Yao's treatment is the same. Xiao Yao said in the show that there is no red carpet for the premiere, but in fact there is no. However, Xiao Yao was only uncomfortable with the cumbersome procedures, and would not let the celebrities hide and tuck them without even showing their faces. Xiao Yao's approach is to directly ask the security guards to pull a cordon at the entrance of the theater. Regardless of the size of the cafe, all stars will enter directly from the entrance of the theater.

  Whether media reporters, celebrity fans, want to take photos, or want to see their idols, it is still possible to stay at the gate of the theater.

  The last time "127 Hours" was in Ye Jiaying's movie, Xiao Yao, who played the leading actor, was not the protagonist of the premiere. The real protagonist was Ye Jiaying, and Xiao Yao was just a helping role in it. But this time it was Xiao Yao's movie, and he became a well-deserved protagonist.

Although the seats and the like have been arranged in advance, and many models have been borrowed from Xing Donglin to act as guides and ceremonial personnel temporarily, when certain stars arrive, Xiao Yao still has to go up to meet the reception in person, and he is polite. A few sentences. After all, the status of production companies and distribution companies in the industry is limited, and the network resources are not strong. Many celebrities come to join in, all for the sake of Xiao Yao and his family. It’s because Xiao Yao is here to talk a little bit, and you can be casual if you have a good relationship. Those who come to your parents, he, as a son, should be more polite and polite.

  Fortunately, Xiao Yao is not only young, but also far surpassed his peers in physical strength and energy. I have been busy running around the venue for more than half an hour, and I am not tired at all, and my condition is still very good.

  But the body is not tired, but I feel a little annoyed in my heart. When the guests were almost there, and when they returned to the lounge to prepare for the final pre-screening exchange, Xiao Yao even had the idea in his heart that he would not even make the premiere of future movies, or he would not participate at all.

  Of course, this is just thinking about it. At least the next parkour movie with a few friends, this level is probably inevitable. Publicity and premiere are still very important to the word-of-mouth evaluation and box office of a movie. Even if he doesn't care, he can't care about the feelings of a few friends. Zhao Rui and Xu Fei have filmed a lot of TV series, and it was the first movie to be the main creator and protagonist.

  When Xiao Yao was thinking about it, Pei Minyi patched up his makeup, and soon it was time to communicate before the screening.

  There is only one episode in this animated film, or it only uses the copyright and does not buy the cover copyright. Although Xiao Yao, the all-round entertainer, can perform many programs, there are still no fancy performances in this premiere, only the pre-screening and post-screening exchanges of the main creators.

  At 11:30, the main creative staff made their debut, and the exchanges and interactions before the screening also began.

  The director, screenwriter, and soundtrack of this animated film are all Xiao Yao alone, and the number of the main creative team is quite small. Only Xiao Yao, Tong Luo, He Ying, and Huang Shi were dubbed by He Ying and Huang Shi. Xiao Yao saw that there were too few people on the stage, so he went on stage to make up the number. However, the pre-screening communication specifications are not low, because the host is Wang Yuan, the gold medal host of Xiangnan Satellite TV who came to help out. It is said that both Wang Yuan and Ke Jun want to come, but because Ke Jun is going to host the "Graduation Song" of Xiangnan Satellite TV tonight, Wang Yuan alone will host it.

  Since Wang Yuan is the host, it is not simply to introduce the main creative personnel and let the media reporters and the audience directly ask questions. Wang Yuan, who once interviewed a member of the royal family in Europe, is also a good hand at interview shows. After introducing the main creators, everyone sat on the stage of the theater. First, Wang Yuan did an interview.

  Tong Luo participated in many talk shows for this movie. He Ying and Huang Shi are just voice actors, so the protagonist of Wang Yuan’s interview is naturally placed on Xiao Yao. Although they are still asking some more conventional questions about the theme of the film, creative inspiration, and the difficulties and troubles encountered in the production process, but from Xiao Yao's mouth, it still feels a little different.

   "Why did you want to make an animated movie? You just won the best newcomer award this year. Many people think you should keep making a live-action movie!" Wang Yuan's first question was thrown at Xiao Yao.

"This movie was made two years ago." Xiao Yao smiled and said, "I hadn't made a movie yet, uh, a feature film, let alone won an award. I just think China is now Most of the animated films are relatively young, and I just want to make interesting animated films that adults will also find interesting."

   "The production started two years ago. It is not long or short for an animated film." Wang Yuan laughed, "At that time, you just entered the Shen Opera. When did you have this script or idea?"

"The script was written before I took the art test, and I finished it before entering the Shenxi opera," Xiao Yao said. "I went to Teacher Tong's company by chance and thought that his company could complete the animation film. He collaborated and started production."

   "I started writing scripts before entering university!" Wang Yuan sighed.

   "Wow~" The audience shouted in exclamation.

   "I participated in the writing of TV drama scripts when I was in middle school!" Xiao Yao laughed.

   "Okay, let's not talk about this." Wang Yuan smiled, and then continued, "Let's talk about the movie itself. I won't ask about the plot. Let us briefly introduce the movie with a few key words."

  "Animation, sci-fi, comedy, love, environmental protection!" Xiao Yao stretched out a fist, raised his fingers in turn, and counted five.

  "I will introduce them in detail separately!" Wang Yuan said again, "Why are these five?"

"Although it is difficult to make an animation, I have never been a director of a feature film. It is a science fiction story. For me, animation is relatively simple and suitable for my imagination." Xiao Yao smiled. Rooted back fingers, "Science fiction, because it's a story of robots, why is it a story of robots? Because I think it's cool! Comedy, I hope movie audiences are happy. Love, the eternal theme, the love of robots, is cool. And cute. Environmental protection, the first movie script, represents a certain kind of first impression. In addition to silly, you should always find something deep and tall for your movies!"

   "Uh~" Wang Yuan choked, and smiled bitterly, "What a casual feeling!"

"Your experience in the past two years is very rich. You made a movie. I was talking about Jiaying's "127 Hours". I participated in a lot of variety shows and played live broadcasts. Fashion weeks abroad, domestic and foreign "I've been to the earthquake-stricken area, and I have to go to school," Wang Yuan said with Xiao Yao's experience in the past two years. "It's hard to imagine that you still have time to direct an animated movie!"

   "Time is like that, there is always a squeeze!" Xiao Yao smiled.

  "Haha~" The star guests and the audience all laughed.

  "Pay attention to words!" Wang Yuan reminded.

   "I'm talking about the water in the sponge, where did you want to go!" Xiao Yao glanced at Wang Yuan.

   "Hey!" Wang Yuan stared.

   "Ha~" The audience laughed again.

"No kidding," Xiao Yao waved his hand. "I am a director, not a technician such as a painter. I am only responsible for controlling the general direction, picking faults and giving requirements. Now that the technology is so advanced, it is very convenient to connect. Ah. The producer of this film, I am in front of Teacher Tong, but the producer, Teacher Tong is in front of me, the production process is supervised by him, and the technicians are all under his hands."

"In fact, what Xiao Yao gave is already very detailed." Tong Luo interrupted, "The script is very detailed, the image of each character has been designed, and a lot of shot scripts have been drawn. Our technicians only need to follow his script, It’s enough to complete the scripts and requirements. I’m basically a supervisor."

"Just now you said that the producer is in front of Teacher Tong, that is, you are more than him in the capital investment of this animated film? I heard that you basically throw in the income of the past two years?" Wang Yuan again Asked.

"Not just for the past two years." Xiao Yao smiled, "There are also savings from the previous ten years! I have been financially independent very early. But not all of them are thrown in. For example, I now have my own in Shanghai. For housing, such as the next movie being prepared, I also have some capital investment."

  "Are you preparing for the next movie again? Or a cartoon?" Wang Yuan asked curiously.

   "No, live-action movies, action movies!" Xiao Yao laughed, "This one hasn't turned on yet, let's not talk about it, let's talk about it when it can be released after filming!"

"Okay," Wang Yuan nodded, turning to Tong Luo, "Teacher Tong, was Xiao Yao your student two years ago? If a student asks you for a script, you dare to spend two years with him to do one. An animated movie?"

"I'm definitely afraid of other students!" Tong Luo smiled, "This is a famous genius. The script he took out really moved me very much. Moreover, he was also a very famous second-generation star. What I thought at the time was, Even if he can't, he still has his parents behind him. In the end, he didn't expect him to use his parents' relationship or his parents' money."

   "How do you know that I didn't use my parents' relationship and money?" Xiao Yao interrupted and asked with a smile, "I didn't seem to have told you this before?"

   "Of course I have my channel to know!" Tong Luo smiled mysteriously.

  "Where are you two?" Wang Yuan finally looked at He Ying and Huang Shidao, "I heard that you dubbed this animated film this time as a friendly guest appearance. How did you get fooled by Xiao Yao?"

   "It's not a friendly guest appearance, Xiao Yao paid us!" He Ying smiled.

   "Although it is a friendly price, it is indeed paid, so it is not a friendly cameo." Huang Shi also smiled.

"I have an old friendship with Xiao Yao." Huang Shi continued, "Our first collaboration was the "Ling Yun Zhi" a few years ago, Xiao Yao's first TV series, and my first Feitian Award was the best. Excellent supporting actor. Later, I also acted in his short film "Tuner", which is really nothing for nothing."

   "Brother, it's a short movie, and it can't be used in theaters!" Xiao Yao reminded, "I sold the copyright later, but I reissued the red envelope for you. Don't make me so stingy."

   "But that was made up later. When I filmed it, it was said that I was not paid." Huang Shi smiled, "You said I did it for nothing, and he paid me to go, can I not go?"

"I met Xiao Yao on the "Sound on the Scene" of your Hunan Satellite TV." He Ying smiled, "I said in the finals at the time, saying that if you make an animated movie, I will go for free. Dubbing for you, who would have thought that he really asked me to do the dubbing. Many viewers have seen what was said in the show. He told me to go, can I not go? Otherwise, he will burst the news and say what I said. No faith, where do I have the face to come out and see people!"

   "Sister, when I said in the show that I invested in an animated film, the part where I went to find a voice actor in the show was not broadcast at all in the feature film!" Xiao Yao reminded with a smile.

   "Huh?" He Ying covered her mouth in surprise.

   "It seems that you didn't even watch the finals, are you at a loss now?" Wang Yuan smiled.

   "So many people, let such a little guy win the championship, how am I embarrassed to watch?" He Ying smiled bitterly.

   "Okay, we have talked a lot. Now let's see what questions the audience and netizens have to ask us the creators on stage!" Wang Yuan turned to look at the audience.

For this premiere, Xiao Yao gave the Haiyan video that he had just cooperated with in terms of the official webcast rights. However, in addition to the official cooperation, Xiao Yao also gave many webcasters personal live broadcast rights, so this time on behalf of netizens The host who asked the question was not only Chen Bella, but Wang Yuan chose to draw it.

  Whether it is the questions from the live audience or the questions from the netizens watching the premiere live broadcast, they are basically focused on Xiao Yao. The core character of this animated film is really Xiao Yao. The questions from the audience and netizens were not only various, but also some strange and tricky questions.

  Fortunately, Xiao Yao responded fast enough, eloquent enough, and thick-skinned enough to answer. In this session, many of Xiao Yao's answers can arouse bursts of laughter from the audience, and the atmosphere of the whole scene is rather joyful.

  Amidst the bursts of laughter from the audience, half an hour of pre-screening communication quickly passed. Wang Yuan stood up to announce the end of the pre-screening communication session. When the film was being played immediately, the audience put down their arms to ask questions, cheering and applauded.

  This round of applause is not only to send the host and several main creators away, but also for the upcoming movie. After all, this premiere is mostly for the first time to watch this animated film by Xiao Yao.
