Entertaining Children

  Chapter 476 Boss Xiao

  Su Xiao chatted briefly with Xiao Yao and left.

  Yu Hua knew that it was difficult to interview people of Su Xiao's level, so instead of leaving with Su Xiao, he stayed in the lounge and continued to interview Xiao Yao.

   "I still just learned that you wrote a song for the army, can you say a few more words?" Yu Hua extended the microphone to Xiao Yao again.

  Their program is called "Straight Spring Festival Gala". It does not mean that they can only interview and report on things related to the Spring Festival Gala. Some anecdotes about actors participating in the Spring Festival Gala also fall within the scope of their coverage. Writing ten military songs for free to the troops is definitely worth continuing interviews and reports.

"In fact, it's nothing. It was written during the military training of our freshmen in September last year." Xiao Yao smiled, "Our military training is in the military camp. We have strict control at night and there are no activities, so we write songs. At that time, I was in the barracks, surrounded by soldiers, and all the things I felt were related to the army. We would sing songs during the military training and rest during the day, and we sang all military songs, so I wanted to write a few songs related to the army. Military songs related to the military."

  "Written during the military training? How long is your military training? University military training should not exceed one month, right? You wrote ten poems in a month?" Yu Hua was surprised.

   "It's hard to tell other creators, but if it's Xiao Yao...don't say ten songs a month, I wouldn't be surprised if he writes ten songs a week." Chen Chen interrupted with a smile.

  "How long did it take you?" Yu Hua asked Xiao Yao, "Also, just now, Teacher Su Xiao said that you gave all the songs to Teacher Lanying Zhao. How did you and Teacher Lanying Zhao meet?"

"It's only about a week. I don't remember the exact few days." Xiao Yao smiled. "During the military training break, I sang a few new songs I wrote, and it happened to be heard by the head of our army. At that time, our army had a sympathy performance. The leader wanted to use my new song to perform, so I gave them the ten songs I wrote. They asked teacher Zhao Lanying of the Army Art Troupe to help pick the songs, but Zhao saw it. I was very interested. I found our army and told me that I wanted to buy them all, so I gave it to her. Since it was a song written for soldiers, I didn’t want to sell it. I told Teacher Zhao that as long as it was related to the theme of the army You can sing whatever you want. I authorize it for free. That’s how it is."

   "Your thoughts are really rare, no wonder Teacher Su Xiao made a special trip to thank you." Yu Hua couldn't help but sigh.

   "Well, thank you very much for accepting my interview today. I wish you a smooth performance and present us with a wonderful performance." Yu Hua finally said to the few people. Her interview task is not just for Xiao Yao and the two groups of artists in this lounge. If Su Xiao hadn’t come just now, she would have withdrawn. Now that she has been interviewing for so long, she should also go to interview other people. Up.

   "Thank you!" Xiao Yao and others all politely waved goodbye to Yu Hua at the camera.

  The program "Straight to the Spring Festival Gala" can be regarded as a warm-up program before the Spring Festival Gala. Not many people watch this program on TV, and the live broadcast on the Internet has almost no audience. This time is exactly the time for dinner, and most of it is a family with a small number of people and a TV in the living room where the New Year’s Eve dinner is eaten. Turn the TV on and let it play by itself, making it a lively event.

Although it’s been several years since Xiao Yao became popular because of the role of "Chengying", Xiao Yao has been on social news because he saw righteousness on the subway, and because the double champion has been on social news. These are the Gregorian calendar last year and the lunar calendar year. What happened, even if it is not his fans, he has a lot of popularity among ordinary people who don't pay much attention to the entertainment circle. Those middle-aged and elderly viewers who are more concerned about current affairs are the main crowd waiting in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and most of them watch the "Straight-through Spring Festival Gala".

  So when the scenes interviewing Xiao Yao and Su Xiao appeared on TV, it somewhat attracted the attention of some people. The fact that he helped the troops write songs was also spread among these people.

  To say that Xiao Yao is most concerned about, it is definitely his family.

   After Xiao Yao was reborn, Xiao Chengru never attended the Spring Festival Gala. On the night of the New Year’s Eve of previous years, Xiao Siqi’s family spent the New Year’s Eve with him in his courtyard house. Before and after Xiao Siqi remarried, he participated in the Spring Festival Gala performance. After he married Xiao Siqi, Ye Jiaying also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Therefore, it is customary in their family that those who do not have a Spring Festival Gala assignment are responsible for spending New Year's Eve with Mr. Xiao in the courtyard.

  Old man Xiao had spent New Year's Eve with Xiao Siqi and Xiaoyao in previous years, and also spent New Year's Eve with Ye Jiaying, Xiaoyao and his mother. The happiest family of four had reunion in the courtyard. But Xiao Yao's absence, Father Xiao and Xiao Siqi and his wife celebrated New Year's Eve together for the first time this year. Therefore, these three people are also paying special attention to this year's Spring Festival Gala, including the previous warm-up program "Straight through the Spring Festival Gala" they are also watching.

   "August 1st wrote ten songs for the troops, and they were sent out for free. What about this? When is it?" Hearing the interview on TV, Mr. Xiao looked at Xiao Siqi in surprise.

"I don't know either." Xiao Siqi smiled. "He never told me about this. You always know that the songs written by Bayi, to whom and how to sell, have always been his own masters. Before. He wants to sell songs through me, and will discuss it with me. Now he has an agent to help him negotiate the contract and price, and he rarely negotiates with me."

"This matter, don't talk about us, I don't even know the agent who is next to him." Ye Jiaying continued, "When he came back from Shencheng last month to help him confirm the rehearsal time for the Spring Festival Gala, I talked to her about Bayi’s situation in Shanghai in the past few months, but I never heard her mention it."

"Look, he said it was written during military training. No wonder Fang still didn't know." Xiao Siqi pointed to Xiao Yao who was interviewed by Yu Hua on TV. "This kid! I want to send him the second album because of him. The number of songs from ”was not enough to be released. He did well. After participating in the military training for a week, he wrote ten military songs, and all of them were sent out for free, which is enough for one album.

"What do you mean? You blamed Bayi?" Xiao Chengru glared at Xiao Siqi, "Is it necessary to sell copyrights to collect money for writing songs for soldiers? I think Bayi did a very beautiful job. Let me tell you. Say, if your studio encounters the need to deal with the troops in the future, based on the incident reported today, it will be a lot easier for you to cooperate with the troops. Your son is far-sighted in doing this!"

"Yes, yes, you are always right." Xiao Siqi smiled, "This guy is an evildoer, don't you always say that he will be better than me in the future. You see that he is better than me now, and write ten poems in a week? Song, I can't kill it."

"Today's holiday, what nonsense is "death" or "death"?" Ye Jiaying patted Xiao Siqi, complained, and then said to Xiao Cheng Confucianism, "But when it comes to Bayi, we are afraid that no one can grasp it. ."

   "What do you mean?" Xiao Chengru looked at Ye Jiaying.

"I'll just say it clearly," Ye Jiaying smiled. "We have been fighting secretly. Siqi wants to be singers after Bayi, and Dad and I want to be actors after Bayi. Bayi knows it in his heart, so He released a composing album, and went to the Department of Performing Arts at the university. It seemed that he was balancing between us, taking care of both aspects. But in fact, he did much more than that."

   "What else did he do?" Xiao Chengru asked with interest.

"Dad, you also participated in the filming of the short film shot during the August 1st summer vacation. After returning from the August 1st holiday, he told us that he had sent the short film to the Clermont Ferrand International Short Film Festival to participate in the selection. "Ye Jiaying said, "That's a film festival known as "Short Film Cannes". Of course, I think the quality of his short film is qualified, but the first short film went to "Short Film Cannes", you Can you see Bayi’s ambition? It's not just an actor, he's not just a fun as a director."

   "I know this," Xiao Chengru said, "I remember that he had said that he wanted to be a director when he applied for the three-test examiner's question and answer for the opera exam. It is normal for an actor to be a director."

"But that's not all." Ye Jiaying said, "Do you know what else Bayi did last month? He worked with a special effects company in Shanghai to make animated films, not short films, but animated feature films in theaters. ."

   "Animated feature films? That's a lot of money." Xiao Chengru said, "He asked you for money?"

   "No," Xiao Siqi said, "Bayi didn't mention this to me at all."

"Yes, he didn't mention it to us. This is what I heard from Pei Minyi, Bayi's new assistant, and he only admitted it after I asked Bayi himself." Ye Jiaying said, "He said that we don't need us yet. The studio gave him the money, so I didn’t tell us. The animation film production cycle is very long. He is going to spend his own money first. When the funds are not enough, he will invest again. He will not let us give him money directly. Instead, let the studio as an investor invest in that animated film, be a co-producer, and calculate the revenue share for the studio."

"Spend your own money first? How much money does Bayi have now?" Xiao Chengru said, "The production cycle of animated films is indeed relatively long, but there is a lot of investment in the early stage, and the speed of spending money in the production process is also very fast. How long can he last by himself?"

"Although we don't know exactly how much money his personal account is, I guess he doesn't have a lot of money on hand after shooting that short film. When he went to the United States during the summer vacation, he bought all economy class tickets. "Ye Jiaying said, "But it doesn't matter if there is not much money now. Bayi will make money. Not to mention that Bayi's own songs have continuous income. You probably don't know yet. He is now in two families. The boss of the company."

   "What's wrong with this." Xiao Siqi smiled, "Our studio and that model company. I transferred the shares of the model company to him last year."

"I forgot about it." Ye Jiaying patted her forehead, and then shook her head. "Although someone in our studio calls him the little boss, it's just because he is our son. Strictly speaking, he is not a job now. The owner of the studio. The shares in that model company are real. In this case, Bayi is already the owner of the shares in three companies."

   "Three?" Xiao Chengru and Xiao Siqi both asked in surprise, "Are you saying that he started his own company, or opened two?"

   "Yes," Ye Jiaying nodded, "Two newly established companies, one is registered in China, the other is a company registered in the United States."

   "Why don't I know?" Xiao Siqi said anxiously, "When did you know? Why didn't you tell me?"

"After returning from the August 1 holiday, what he told me when I talked to him was the time he asked him about the animation movie." Ye Jiaying said, "Anyway, I thought I would tell my dad about these things, so I didn't tell me in advance. You, tell you together today, lest I have to say it twice."

   "Cut~" Xiao Siqi glanced at Ye Jiaying contemptuously, "You just want to show in front of the old man that you as a mother know your son better than me as a dad."

   "That's not your father's concern for Bayi as much as Jiaying's mother." Xiao Chengru said to Xiao Si together.

   "You can't blame me for this," Xiao Siqi cried out, "Bayi, this kid, only talk to his mother, stay with me, not play instruments or talk about music. He doesn't tell me about these things at all."

"That's not because you are unreliable when you are a dad. When your son is with you, he just wants to play." Xiao Chengru said Xiao Siqi again, turning to Ye Jiaying, "Okay, let's not talk about it, you and Go home and talk about the son's affairs. Or tell me what happened to the two companies on Bayi? Why is there a US company? He also opened a company when he went to the US to see Duoer during the summer vacation?

  "It was not when I went to the United States during the summer vacation, but after I returned from the United States." Ye Jiaying said, "I didn't come back during the August 1st National Day holiday. I said that I learned to make musical instruments in Shanghai with two musical instrument makers from the United States."

   "I know this, I also invented the hand disc." Xiao Siqi interrupted.

"During that time, he didn't just learn how to make guitars and invented the hand-disc musical instrument," Ye Jiaying said. "He also co-founded a hand-disc company with the American musical instrument maker who helped him make hand-disc. Bayi contributed half of the funds and accounted for half of the company’s equity. He was responsible for providing patented technology, and the musical instrument maker was responsible for production and management. The musical instrument maker was an American, so the company opened in the United States. At the beginning of this month, that company It has been officially established. August 1 did not attend the company's establishment ceremony because of the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal, but various legal documents have been sent to him."

  Xiao Siqi said in surprise, "Then we have to call him Boss Xiao in the future? But he issues patents and is in charge of production and management. Is he going to be the shopkeeper?"

"Not exactly." Ye Jiaying said, "Why do you think he performed the hand-dish at the East China Sea TV New Year's Eve party? He was advertising the hand-dish. I still heard from Fang that after the August 1st show ended that day In the lounge of Donghai TV Station, I received several orders for hand-dishes."
