Entertaining Children

  Chapter 516 Team Produced

   "But Director Tao, I still want to make a condition." Xiao Yao continued.

   "What are the conditions, you said?" Tao Ran said nonchalantly.

"I know that the rule of the show is that each singer has only two chances to sing his own songs, and other times he has to sing other people's songs. But I don't want to sing other people's songs. If I succeed in playing in the stadium, can I keep singing my own songs? "Xiao Yao said.

"The program stipulates that only the first game or the finals can sing one's own songs. We want to show the comprehensiveness of a singer. Only by mastering different kinds of songs can we show our true ability. The singers who participated in the show originally sang many classic songs. , We want to minimize the impact of the popularity of the song itself on the audience, which is fair to singers who have few original classics." Tao Ran said with some embarrassment.

"I promise to sing my own original new songs in every issue. Songs that no one has heard before will not let the audience be affected by the popularity of the song itself, right?" Xiao Yao said, "As for the comprehensiveness of the song. , Look at my own songs and the songs I wrote for others. Do you think my work is comprehensive enough? In the show, I promise not to sing only one type of song."

Xiao Yao’s first album was judged by Xiao Siqi as a miscellaneous music style that was too mixed. The two “Golden Disc” awards were also nominated for the best songs in several genres. When it comes to controlling the comprehensiveness of songs , Xiao Yao is definitely an outlier among singers.

"Are you planning to turn this year's "Singer" into your "good song"?" Tao Ran said amusedly, "I didn't enjoy playing so much on "Good Voice" the year before last? You like to sing original songs so much, why? Didn’t you go to a creator competition like "Good Songs"?"

"Actually, I wanted to participate," Xiao Yao laughed. "But when "The Good Song" was held last year, I was a senior in high school. I didn't want to take a long vacation to affect the college entrance examination in order to participate in the show, and I had already taken it at that time. "Kingdee Award", and there is no shortage of channels to distribute songs, so I am embarrassed to grab the rare opportunity to release songs with those less famous creators."

"Besides, when my dad recommended me to participate in "Singer", he should have reminded you that I might make such a request, right?" Xiao Yao continued, "Did he help me with you? Have you discussed this issue?"

   "Yeah? You little guy really knows everything?" Tao Ran asked incredulously.

   "Isn't there a saying called "Zhizi Moruofu"? For me, my father's mind is not too difficult to guess." Xiao Yao said proudly.

  The thing that Xiao Siqi thinks about most now is to help Xiao Yao release an album. Xiao Yao's first album was collected after participating in "Good Voice". Now that the number of songs on Xiao Yao's second album is not enough, Xiao Siqi will definitely help him win the opportunity to sing more than one original song on "Singer".

"Okay," Tao Ran shook his head, "Xiao Siqi has indeed discussed this issue with us. We are going to modify the program rules, as long as the singer sings not the original classic songs that have been released before, and it does not have to sing others. It’s okay to sing new songs that I haven’t published before."

"Since you have decided to become a Kick Hall singer, then we will arrange to appear as the first Kick Hall singer in the third round of the first round." Tao Ran continued, "The program will start recording a week later, and by the time you come out, it will be almost the same. It should be mid-to-late April, the specific recording time and the issue of the appearance fee..."

  "You can talk to my agent." Xiao Yao said, "You should have her contact information, right?"

   "Of course," Tao Ran nodded, "I will contact her as soon as possible." After that, Tao Ran stood up and said goodbye, "Since the matter has been negotiated, I will not disturb you for dinner, I will leave."

  "Goodbye Tao Tao!" Everyone hurriedly got up and said.

  Send Tao Ran away. After everyone was seated again, Ke Jun looked at Xiao Yao and smiled: "It seems that you will appear on our show again soon."

   "Singer" is also a show of Shonan Satellite TV. According to the convention, when it is broadcast, the singers in the show will take turns to cross-promote the current "Everyday Upward" and "Happy Camp". Back then, "Where Are You Going Dad" did the same. Although Xiao Yao rejected "Happy Camp" at a young age, Xiao Yao has grown up now. With his current reputation and performance on the show today, when the show is broadcast, he should not be caught by these two. I missed a trump card show.

   "Sister Lan, Brother Sen, you will soon have the opportunity to take revenge on the show." Zhou Ni irritated the two people who were a little bit ashamed in the show today.

"How do you know that the two of them won't be depressed by Xiao Yao again?" Kong Lei laughed, "Neither Sister Lan nor Ge Sen didn't let go of any water today. That's really hard to play on Bayi. The singer-themed show, Music-related games are definitely indispensable, do you think they can play this evildoer?"

   "We can let Bayi be with us when we discuss the Taiwanese with the director," Wei Sen said with a smile, "August 1 gave us clothes, who still remembers that bit of grudge? Right, Bayi?"

"I like to challenge the difficulty," Xiao Yao laughed. "If there is another chance to come to Kuaiben, I will ask the director to try my best to play with Zhou Ni or Kong Lei and play against the two of you... oh no, You three game kings."

   "This is my business!" Ke Jun smiled and stared.

   "Oh yeah!" Zhou Ni and Kong Lei smiled and slapped their hands.

   "What are you two happy about?" Xiang Lan glared at the two of them and said, "Bayi's words mean to help the strong and help the weak, which means that you two are weak in his eyes. What's so good about?

  After eating a midnight snack, Xiao Yao and others bid farewell to Ke Jun and other hosts, and drove back to the hotel arranged by the program group for them.

   "Stone, Xu Fei, come and sit in my room, I have something to discuss with you." After entering the hotel elevator, Xiao Yao said to Zhao Rui and Xu Fei.

   "What's the matter? Can I go together?" Zhu Zitong asked curiously.

   "Will I tell you about the stone? I can't wait for a while?" Xiao Yao smiled and glanced at Zhu Zitong. After spending several months together in the crew, Xu Fei and Ye Xing both knew about the relationship between Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong, so Xiao Yao didn't care about the relationship between them.

   "Huh, I'm going to see what your enchanting evil idea has, what shameful deeds you have to discuss!" Zhu Zitong said nonchalantly.

   "August 1st, what's the matter? You really can't even know Zitong?" Zhao Rui asked.

   "Good ability," Xiao Yao smiled and gave Zhu Zitong a thumbs up, "Let's go together."

   "Ye Xing, sorry." Xiao Yao turned his head and said apologetically to Ye Xing.

   "I'm tired of recording the show today. I just want to go back to my room and rest." Ye Xing waved his hand.

  Although Ye Xing was very curious about what they were going to discuss and wanted to join Xiao Yao's small circle like Xu Fei, he also knew that the relationship between himself and Xiao Yao was different from the others. Needless to say, Zhao Rui and Xiao Yao have been in love for more than ten years. Zhu Zitong is Zhao Rui's girlfriend, equivalent to Xiao Yao's sister-in-law, and this relationship is naturally very close. As for Xu Fei, Xiao Yao had known each other when he filmed "Ling Yun Zhi". The two met before Xiao Yao became famous. And what about yourself? It's just that I met with the crew last year and recorded the show together today. So after Xiao Yao showed that he didn't want him to participate, Ye Xing took the initiative to avoid it in a measured manner.

  "Sit as you like, do it yourself if you want to drink." After entering the room, Xiao Yao pointed to the three people on the sofa in the living room, and got into his bedroom. Xiao Yao was not as polite to these people as he was to Mu Ying.

   "What the hell?" The three sat down on the sofa with a look of confusion.

Xiao Yao, who came out of the bedroom, took two folders and a laptop, and handed the folders to Zhao Rui and Xu Fei respectively: "Look at this first!" He said to Zhu Zitong, "Let's take a look with the stone. "

  "Movie script outline?" After opening the folder, the three of them all looked at Xiao Yao in surprise. Zhao Rui immediately said: "You are going to make a movie again? Didn't you just agree to participate in "Singer"?"

  "It's not me, it's us!" Xiao Yao corrected, "This is a movie about parkour. The protagonist is a parkour team, and the three of us shot it together."

   "Parkour? Good idea!" Xu Fei immediately said happily, "This kind of sport was initiated by us, and we will star in a movie about parkour together, cool!"

  "Who is the producer? Who is the director?" Zhao Rui asked calmly, "The three of us are so young, and none of us have acted as the protagonist of the movie. Are you sure that others will use us as the protagonist?"

"Of course," Xiao Yao nodded. "The producer is ourselves. The director is co-directed by me and a master student in the director department of Southern University. Now this script outline is also produced by the two of us. I think you two They also joined in to improve the script together."

   "We make a character by ourselves?" Zhao Rui said, "Do you know how much money it takes to make a movie? Only the three of us? How much money do you have? Anyway, the money at my disposal is only six figures."

"Don't say you are going to let the three of us ask our parents to put all the savings in the family into this movie," Xu Fei was also frightened by Xiao Yao's words of his own production. "For this movie, I I can use all my savings, but I don’t want to move my parents’ money."

"This is our own movie, and it has nothing to do with our elders. I myself didn't plan to ask for money from my family, and of course I didn't intend to let you ask for money from my family," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "Just use your own money. That's it, and you can pay as much as you like."

   "It's still the problem, just a few of us, is that enough?" Zhao Rui emphasized.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished it yet," Xiao Yao waved his hand. "Regarding the issue of shooting costs. The first is open source. We are only the main producer, not all of the producers. The budget is not enough. I will prepare Crowdfunding to parkour enthusiasts in the name of the "YRF" team. The second is to reduce expenditure, and to plan as carefully as possible to save costs. Now we have a director, a screenwriter, and three leading actors. These are all at no cost. Action As a guide, I think the three of us can also do it. The other actors and staff in the crew, I also plan to recruit under the name of the "YRF" team. Parkour enthusiasts have a wide range of careers, so let them shoot parkour with us. Movies should also save a bit in terms of compensation."

   "Crowdfunding? Is it reliable?" Zhao Rui and Xu Fei were still somewhat skeptical.

"I'm very confident." Xiao Yao smiled, "Actually, parkour has become very popular all over the world after so many years. When I was an exchange student in the United States in my second year of high school, I had already met the parkour team in Los Angeles. We are very important to our “YRF” veteran team. When I went to participate in the dance competition, all of them were a must-see. If I said we were going to raise money to make a movie about parkour, they would definitely do it too. Very supportive. People like them, I believe there are many more in the world."

   "Since you are confident, then do it!" Zhao Rui said first, "Anyway, you don't need to ask the family for money. Spend your own money to do what you like. I have no problem."

   "I agree." Xu Fei also said.

  "Can I participate, too?" Zhu Zitong raised his hand and said, "It's okay to spend money and effort."

"Of course welcome," Xiao Yao nodded, "but there are some things I want to explain in advance. First, the parkour team requires a lot of technical moves, and the protagonist must be a real parkour master in reality. You don't know how to parkour. , So you won’t be in the protagonist. As for the supporting role, I can’t promise now, I can only wait for the script to be completed to see if there is a suitable role for you, and you must also participate in the role audition and pass. Second, the producer of the title There will only be the three of us plus the four names of the director, and no other producers will be added. Either you participate in the crowdfunding as an ordinary parkour enthusiast, so your name will be shared with others participating in the crowdfunding People appear on the thank-you list at the end of the film, or you can give the stone to the stone and let the stone represent you."

   "The same is true for both of us." Xiao Yao said to Xu Fei again, "If our relatives and friends want to participate in this movie, the same rules apply."

"It's okay for others to say that Tingting is the same?" Xu Fei reminded, "When our parkour team was founded, Tingting was also a witness. She didn't know how to play, so she insisted that she didn't add her name to the team. But she helped us make so many videos, wouldn’t it be okay if this movie doesn’t include her?"

  Naturally, what Xu Fei said was not Duoer, but Chen Xiaoting who was filming with them.

   "Yes!" Xiao Yao patted his forehead, "Why forgot this person!"

"Or else," Xiao Yao thought quickly, and then suggested, "If she is willing to pay to make a product for you, then her name will be added to the producer. We will let her join the screenwriting team. , Give her a supervisory position and let her help the crew manage the money. It can also be regarded as a member of our behind-the-scenes creative team. If she wants to participate in the performance, the protagonist will definitely not work. Supporting actors also need to pass an interview. What do you think? ?"

   "No problem," Xu Fei and Zhao Rui both nodded in agreement.

  Zhu Zitong heard Zhao Rui tell her about the birth process of this parkour team, and also knows the role of Chen Xiaoting in it, and understands the reasons why Xiao Yao treats Chen Xiaoting differently from her, and there is no objection to this.

"OK, the main task now is to get the final script of the draft so that we can budget and carry out the following work. We strive to be able to turn on the computer during the summer vacation." Xiao Yao opened the laptop and said, "First Introduce you to the director of USC. His name is Mu Ying, a native of China, who I met at the Clermont Ferrand International Film Festival..."

  Speaking, Xiao Yao opened the communication software on the computer and sent a video request. It's around one o'clock in the morning, and it's just over ten o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles. Before shooting Mu Ying's BMW commercial, Xiao Yao texted with Mu Ying on the way back to the hotel. He is now waiting by the computer.
