Entertaining Children

  Chapter 570 No endorsements, no commercials

  Xiao Yao did not participate in any publicity activities. Of course, the reason was to stay in class at Shenxi and prepare for the next knockout competition.

  This time, Mei Fang’s and filming crew finally took some different side-by-side shots in Yin Xi’s studio in Shencheng. Because Xiao Yao has a new trick in the next competition, he is ready to dance. For this reason, Xiao Yao not only recruited three men, three women, and six dancers from the studio’s contracted dance troupe, but also specially recruited Cheng Xi, a popular actress in the film and television industry, to be her dance partners. Mei Fang's crew also took a rare shot of Xiao Yao, Cheng Xi and several dancers practicing dance in the dance rehearsal room of Yin Xi's studio.

  Last week, Xiao Yao ran to Yenching to prepare for the competition, mainly not to cooperate with the rehearsal of the "women's band" in Yenching, but because he wanted to learn from Mr. Mei Qingchang. With the identity of Mr. Mei Qingchang, Xiao Yao can only come to ask for advice, and it is absolutely impossible for the old man to allow him to come to Shencheng. The dancers I looked for this time were members of the "Dawn Dance Troupe" except for Cheng Xi. Xiao Yao naturally didn't need to be so polite to them. He called them all directly on the grounds that he was a student and had to go to class. Rehearse by yourself.

  Cheng Xi has developed quite well in the past few years. She is already a star actor steadily striding forward to the front line. It is no longer something you can get for any show you want. But even if Xiao Yao was the son of the boss Ye Jiaying, in terms of their personal relationships, as long as Xiao Yao asked her for help, Cheng Xi was obliged to do so. At this time, Cheng Xi had no filming work at hand and was in a short rest period. Therefore, Xiao Yao called and Cheng Xi did not hesitate to help Xiao Yao pick six members of the dance troupe and fly with them. Shencheng.

Mei Fang’s film crew came to Shencheng to shoot the day after Cheng Xi and the others arrived. Xiao Yao had already explained all the dance breaks to Cheng Xi and the others the day before. When Mei Fang’s film crew arrived, Xiao Yao The whole team of Yao and the others have already started to practice together. Therefore, Mei Fang was not only fortunate to hear the songs Xiao Yao was going to sing in the next competition for the first time, but also watched the entire stage performance in advance.

During the rest of the rehearsal, Mei Fang learned from the chats of several dancers that this dance was also composed by Xiao Yao, so she unconsciously combined this dance with the one that Xiao Yao danced with Sun Tingting in the United States three weeks ago. The dance started a comparison. In terms of the professionalism of dance alone, compared with the duet dance in the MV, this group dance is worse in terms of difficulty and overall feeling, and it feels more like the kind of dance danced in a singer's concert.

  But when Xiao Yao kept making a fist in front of her during dance practice, Mei Fang also knew that there was no way. "Singer" is still a competition singing program after all, and the singer's dance is only an auxiliary means. It is impossible for a singer to use a headset to free his hands like in concerts and evening performances, and must use a professional handheld microphone to sing. After abandoning a hand that had to hold a microphone, Xiao Yao's choreography was naturally greatly restricted.

   "Why did you invite Cheng Xi to accompany the dancers this time?" This time, screenwriter Li Xin and agent Shen Man did not come. During the rehearsal break, Mei Fang took the time to ask Xiao Yao.

"Because Cheng Xi is famous! When she stops on the stage, there will definitely be audiences who will vote for me because of her relationship!" Xiao Yao replied with a smile, "Moreover, Cheng Xi and I have a good relationship. We don't have to say please. , As long as she is free, I will be there as soon as I call her. It's my family, and I don't need to pay anything!"

   "Do you want to answer so honestly?" Cheng Xi and Mei Fang rolled their eyes at the same time for Xiao Yao's answer. Mei Fang was a little speechless at Xiao Yao's so straightforwardness, while Cheng Xi was a little disappointed. When Mei Fang asked her questions, she thought Xiao Yao would say that she was a professional dancer and was dancing among the girls he knew. Compliments like the best.

   Feeling that the communication with Xiao Yao was meaningless, Mei Fang naturally changed the subject of the interview to Cheng Xi.

  For Cheng Xi, what Mei Fang is most interested in is, of course, her acquaintance with Xiao Yao. Everyone knows that Cheng Xi was originally just a member of the dance troupe signed by Qi Jia Studio, and was later selected by Ye Jiaying to become an actor. When Chen Chen, the other captain of the dance troupe, released a single, Fan Linxuan also revealed on the Internet that Xiao Yao and Chen Chen learned to rap, but how did Xiao Yao get to know them and how did this dance troupe like them? A relationship is not known to many people.

Just like the things between Fangshen, Xiao Yao doesn’t like to talk more about this kind of things, but he doesn’t prevent others from making them public. And Cheng Xi has no scruples in this regard, so I’ll go into details. Xiang Meifang told about the experience of getting acquainted with Xiao Yao.

   "So, you know Xiao Yao because of an ice cream?" Mei Fang smiled and shook his head after hearing Cheng Xi's story.

"Yeah, we also talked about this later," Cheng Xi smiled and nodded. "I remember that it should have been not long after his first album was released the year before. I joked that if we were The experience of this acquaintance went public. I wonder if there will be many girls holding ice cream on the bus."

   "If we broadcast this interview during the show, maybe there will be it!" Mei Fang smiled.

   "Let me declare, I have a driver's license now and I no longer take the bus!" Xiao Yao suddenly leaned in front of the camera and said.

   "You are really narcissistic! Did we say that those girls holding ice cream on the bus are because of you?" Cheng Xi vomited unscrupulously.

"What else could it be because of that?" Xiao Yao smiled and continued, "But if this episode is broadcast, I don't know if there will be many girls holding ice cream on the bus, but I guess it should be soon There will be an ice cream brand coming to you as an endorsement. You don’t need to think about the creativity of this TV commercial. It’s a very interesting commercial just to act as you just said."

   "Really!" Mei Fang and Cheng Xi imagined them, and nodded in unison. Just Xiao Yao got off the car and hit Cheng Xi's ice cream, and then ran to the convenience store to buy one that was compensated for her. Adding a few close-up expressions, it was a very good advertisement.

   "Okay, if there is an ice cream brand that comes to me as a spokesperson, I will definitely draw you on as a spokesperson and shoot this ad together." Cheng Xi smiled, "I also look for opportunities to help you!"

   "Cut~ No need!" Xiao Yao said with a curled lips, "I don't act as a spokesperson for any brand, and I never shoot commercials."

   "Why?" Mei Fang and Cheng Xi asked at the same time.

"I have been out for so long, have you seen me have an endorsement? I am not interested in other people's brands." Xiao Yao said proudly, "Furthermore, I already have my own brand and company now. Be the spokesperson of my own brand. That’s enough, let alone endorsing others. As for commercials, I am both a photographer and a director. If I shoot commercials, I will definitely shoot commercials as a director, not as a model or an actor. To shoot an ad as you are!"

  There was Xiao Yao in the advertisement of Beidou Motors a few years ago, but it was an advertisement made by people directly taking the clips from the MV of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky". Although Xiao Yao also charged Beidou Motors' advertising fees later, when they were filming, they did it entirely as a MV. They didn’t know that Beidou Motors would later look at it and change it into an advertisement. So in Xiao Yao’s view, He has never made an advertisement before. In a sense, he does.

  Speaking of advertising, Xiao Yao suddenly thought of Mu Yinglai. I recently contacted him and discussed about parkour scripts. I don’t know how well he did the advertising campaign for BMW. I also don’t know if I have the opportunity to direct the filming of the campaign he designed. One?

"So you are like this!" Cheng Xi suddenly said, "You are the boss and the director. Of course you don't fight for endorsements like our little stars. Or else, since you don't take endorsements, In the future, if a brand asks you to be an endorsement, you will refer to me. I don’t think I have many endorsements.

"No problem, just one sentence! But I am a male, you are a female, and our image style and personality characteristics are quite different in the eyes of the public, and it is estimated that there will be no endorsement brand that I will fancy. I can select you at the same time." Xiao Yao said, and took out his mobile phone and said, "You take a rest, I'll make a call, and we will continue to rehearse when we come back!" Xiao Yao walked to the corner of the rehearsal room and started talking. Phone.

  Cheng Xi looked at Xiao Yao's back and curled his lips, but Mei Fang was looking at Cheng Xi. After hearing what Cheng Xi told about the meeting with Xiao Yao, Mei Fang inexplicably remembered the Chinese-American actress Zhou Jingyi who had met in the United States.

Both Cheng Xi and Zhou Jingyi are professional dancers. They also met Xiao Yao by chance, and got acquainted with Xiao Yao through special events. Then, at the request of Xiao Yao, they took him to the dance group rehearsal, and then Xiao Yao Haruka took the initiative to ask to join the dance team to do choreography.

  A dance troupe gets good results in the competition, and a dance troupe gets a contract with the studio, and both get a job opportunity. Both of them got the opportunity to transform to become actors, and both succeeded in seizing the opportunity and achieved good results in actors. For Xiao Yao, they are always on call, and they can temporarily abandon their actor status and return to the role of dancer at any time. The most interesting thing is that both of them have also been dance teachers for Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting. Perhaps the only difference is that the two look at Xiao Yao's eyes differently!

"Singer" is a variety show. Mei Fang, the co-director of the Shonan Satellite TV Variety Department, wants to go further and have greater development. Naturally, he is inseparable from the entertainment industry. In addition to his own quality and ability, he also has a relationship with the entertainment industry. In addition to a good relationship with a celebrity, it is also important to be familiar with the celebrity’s circle of friends and anecdotes and know what to say and what not to say.

  When Xiao Yao stayed in the studio to record, Zhou Jingyi drove her and Wang Dachuan back to the hotel when Xiao Yao was in the United States. On the way back to the hotel, although Wang Dachuan didn't turn on the camera, Mei Fang still asked Zhou Jingyi about his acquaintance with Xiao Yao, and Zhou Jingyi told her without any concealment. And she listened, and she didn't reveal any traces she knew in front of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting. Later in the rehearsal dance, when TJ, Paul and the others were watching the dance and talking about Zhou Jingyi, Mei Fang, whose eyes were venomous, could also see Zhou Jingyi's meaning to Xiao Yao, but she didn't show it at all.

   After Xiao Yao finished the phone call, he returned and started rehearsing. When Cheng Xi left, Mei Fang also retracted his thoughts and directed Wang Dachuan to continue to take shots of their rehearsal.

  Except for that trip to the United States, it usually only takes one day to shoot daily highlights. So on the second day, Mei Fang took Wang Dachuan and flew back to Xiangnan. In this photoshoot, the chat between Mei Fang and Cheng Xi was very good material, but Mei Fang still felt a little regretful. In her opinion, with the exception of Cheng Xi, the dance that Xiao Yao prepared for the next performance seemed to lack surprises. Maybe the final effect of this dance on the stage will be great, but from the lens in the rehearsal room alone, it seems that there are few highlights.

  After sending away Mei Fang’s production team, Xiao Yao and Cheng Xi’s rehearsal will continue. As Mei Fang felt, this dance was indeed not too difficult, so in only three or four days, Xiao Yao and the others had already rehearsed the dance.

  Dance rehearsal is good, the school's courses are not tight, and there is no need to run announcements to run publicity. Xiao Yao thought it would be easy for a few days, but he didn't expect a call from Zhao Rui to give Xiao Yao something to do again.

On the night when Xiao Yao thought that the dance rehearsal was no problem, Xiao Yao’s phone rang, lying in the dormitory. Xiao Yao picked it up and found that it was Zhao who hadn’t seen each other since Kuaiben. A call from Rui.

   "August 1st, has "Singer" been eliminated?" On the phone, Zhao Rui asked directly as soon as he opened his mouth. Although I haven't seen each other recently, Zhao Rui still knows about Xiao Yao's participation in "Singer". After all, it is broadcast every week on TV, and it is not mentioned less in the entertainment news. It's just that it took almost two weeks for the show to be played and recorded. Zhao Rui didn't know how long Xiao Yao stayed in the show.

   "Listen to what you mean, why do you seem to be looking forward to my elimination?" Xiao Yao smiled irritably, "Is there any buddy you do this?"

"Hehe," Zhao Rui didn't answer, but he smiled, and then said, "Listen to you, it should be that you haven't been eliminated yet, how are you preparing for the next performance? Is it possible to spare a little time to help buddies? Are you busy?"

   "We are almost ready, there should be a little time, but it depends on what is going on." Xiao Yao said, "What do you want, let's talk about it!"

   "In fact, it's not that I have something to ask for your help, it is Zitong! It is she who wants you to help." Zhao Rui said, "She recently took an endorsement..."

"What? Endorsement? The ad lacks a leading actor?" Xiao Yao cut off Zhao Rui's words, "You go on your own, and your relationship will be exposed if it is a big deal. What are you afraid of? Professionals! You know I don’t endorse or appear in commercials!"
