Entertaining Children

  Chapter 581 A ten-year-old photographer

"This is my decision, so I'll answer it." Xiao Yao took the conversation again and said, "First answer your previous question. Although I was ready to be famous when I was sixteen, this is not the same I want to announce that I am XY and there is no inevitable connection!"

"After playing the role of "Cheng Ying" in "Ling Yun Zhi", I knew that it was inevitable to enter the media spotlight." Xiao Yao continued, "The song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" is the first part of the song. The first public appearance was at the graduation ceremony of my junior high school. Since my summer vacation was destined to be famous for "Changying", that song was again a song I gave to the junior high school students, so I told the students that it was me I didn’t use the name of XY anymore. That song "My Microphone" was the inspiration when my classmates and I sang in KTV. They have listened to the fragments I sang, and it is impossible to say that it is XY's work. .

   Nearly a thousand people heard the live version of the song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" at my junior high school graduation ceremony. Later, there were also videos of my junior high school graduation ceremony singing on the Internet. Now that many people know it, I took advantage of the trend and released a single under my own name during the summer vacation after finishing "My Microphone". However, even if I make my official debut, it doesn't mean that I have to tell everyone that XY is me, because I don't need XY's aura to help me attract attention, create topics, and increase my popularity. "

  When Xiao Yao said this, many reporters nodded inwardly. Indeed, the halo on Xiao Yao's head is indeed enough. As a young star whose name has changed from the media and entertainment version to the social and people's livelihood version several times, Xiao Yao does not lack popularity at all. Judging from his dislike of interviews, his attitude toward scandals, and other behavioral styles, he really doesn't care about the aura of XY.

"Also," Xiao Yao continued, "Keeping the name XY has some additional benefits. This brings me to the second question I just asked. Since I have already released the album, why did it last year? The two songs "Love Letters with Fate" and "Swords as Dreams" will still use the name XY instead of my own real name? Because these two songs are not used to send singles to Gong Chen or my dad, but It is a song specially composed for TV series.

  Whether these two songs should be used as the opening and ending songs of the TV series is not up to us, but the director and producer of the TV series have the final say. They solicited not only our studio for the opening and ending episodes of the TV series, and the songs they received were certainly not the only two songs given by our studio. In order to ensure that the two songs I created can be selected by the director and producer, I put these two songs under the name of XY. "

   "You mean, do you think XY's song is more likely to be selected by the TV drama producer than Xiao Yao's song?" the reporter who asked the question confirmed.

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "At that time, there were no songs specially created for film and television works among the songs I published under my own name. Although the song "Immortals" I wrote was also the theme song of an animated film, That song appeared more as a band work rather than my own work alone, and that song was selected after the video of our band’s anniversary performance was seen by the film’s soundtrack, and it was not specifically for The movie was created. Also, it was an English song that was seen by an American animated film. I can't guarantee how much influence it has on the directors and producers of China's domestic film and television dramas.

The film and television soundtracks and OST songs of "Hometown's Original Scenery", "Insects Flying" and "Hong Yan" under the name of XY are very good in film and television works. "Hong Yan" is specifically for "Ling Yun Zhi" Songs composed. The name XY has a certain reputation among domestic directors and producers, so putting these two songs under the name of XY has a higher chance of being selected than under my real name. "

"I don't think so!" said the reporter. "At that time, you had already released an album, and the performances on "Good Voice" and "Cool Electronic Music" were amazing. At that time, I had just experienced a relationship with Gong Chen. A scandal. On fame, the name Xiao Yao was much stronger than that of XY, whose work appeared only a few years later and who didn’t even know his true identity. The producer should value Xiao Yao’s name more. Works, right?"

"Should? Maybe." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Maybe the producer has the same idea as yours, and pays more attention to the creator's reputation, but you can't customize the film studio to be the same as mine. Don’t you think about the possibility of word-of-mouth? At that time, we couldn’t ask the producer, for the same two songs, do you want the creator to be named Xiao Yao or XY? But with the name of XY, I can at least be sure of that, that is After the TV series is broadcast, the producer will definitely not ask me to help them run the promotion. I was a senior in high school at that time!"

"I know what you are going to say," Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand to stop him when the reporter was about to speak again. "Indeed, I can refuse to help others run publicity. The reasons for the high school seniors are very good, and I am notoriously not. I love propaganda, and I don’t refuse people once or twice, but no matter how strong the reason is, the people who are rejected will still feel a little uncomfortable? Let others not even mention this request, I will not reject others once less is not better Huh?"

   "So you are afraid of trouble, so you deliberately continue to deceive people?" Another reporter stood up and asked.

"I'm really afraid of trouble, but it's not right to say lie!" Xiao Yao pointed to the reporter. "Neither my father nor myself have ever said in public that XY is not Xiao Yao, or I denied it when someone asked XY if it was Xiao Yao. We told everyone that XY was a friend of his who didn’t want to reveal his true identity. Father and son get along like friends. Everyone should have heard a lot of this, I told you My father got along like friends when I was four years old. This should be evident in the show "Where is Dad?" back then. I really didn’t want to reveal my true identity and asked him to keep it secret, so this counts as It's not a lie, it's just that everyone didn't expect it."

The only time Xiao Siqi ever denied that XY was Xiao Yao was when he was guessed by Sun Zhihao when he was chatting with Sun Zhihao in the show "Where is Dad?" recognition. Although the denied part was recorded by the camera of the program group, the two requested that the program be cut off for privacy reasons, and it was not broadcast, and it was not a public word, so Xiao Yao didn't have a problem saying that.

"Father and son are like friends. That's just a description. When describing the relationship between father and son, you don't talk about father and son but only as friends," the reporter said dissatisfied. "You are clearly deliberately misleading everyone. !"

   "You can say that it is misleading!" Xiao Yao nodded generously and admitted, then said with a smile spreading his hands, "But we really didn't deliberately deceive people."

   "Do you have any questions?" Seeing that the reporter stopped speaking, Xiao Yao simply became the host of the press conference and asked the reporters below.

"I have!" a reporter with glasses raised his hands and stood up. "The Internet broke the news that you plagiarized the post saying that "Serenade" was a work by Horn Bernie three years ago, and that was exactly where you were in the United States. When I was an exchange student, the time was right. But the two songs "Childhood Memories" and "Daydream" were works by Horn Bernie ten years ago. At that time, you were only nine years old and hadn't been there yet. In the United States, Horne Bernie has never been to China. How did you sell these two pieces to the American pianist?"

"I will correct you a mistake first, oh no, it is a mistake of the author of that post." Xiao Yao said, "Of course those two pieces are not Mr. Horne Bernie's works, even if he was in the concert for the first time. I played those two pieces in public, not ten years ago, but at a concert in Los Angeles nine years ago."

"Well, just assume you are right! But in my opinion, there is no difference between nine years ago and ten years ago. This is not the point. You did not answer my question directly," the reporter said. "Please don't shy away."

"I didn't avoid it," Xiao Yao said, "I pointed this out to answer your question positively. Whether it was nine years ago or ten years ago, this is very important in my answer, so I must explain it in advance. "

Xiao Yao continued: "When I was ten years old, I had been to the United States. I participated in the Eva show held in New York at the end of 2008. At that Eva show, I met many world-class models. Among them are not only my current friend and partner, China’s supermodel Yin Xi, but also American supermodel Betty Bellett. In the restaurant where Betty Bellett invited me to dinner, I would like to express my gratitude to Betty Bellett. , Played two pieces of "Childhood Memories" and "Daydream" for her. At that time, she recorded the scenes of me playing those two pieces with her mobile phone and sent the video to her good friend Horn Look at Bernie. Horn Bernie liked these two pieces very much after seeing it, so he contacted me through Betty Belet and asked the original author to buy the commercial performance rights."

"Isn't it?" The reporter frowned, "If I remember correctly, you once said that you were a photographer YS in the show "Goddess' Fashion Costume". You were on the Eva show the year before last. On-site photographer, at that time you were sixteen, which means you were a live photographer on the Eva show when you were fourteen, not ten!"

"I have said this," Xiao Yao smiled, "but what I said was that I had been a live photographer for the Eva show in 12 years, and did not say that it was the first time I went to the Eva show in 12 years. Actually. Go, I've been to the Eva show when I was ten years old."

   "Even if you went to the Eva show when you were ten years old," the reporter disagreed, "Betty Belet has no reason to have a private encounter with your ten-year-old child, let alone eating?"

"Who said I was going to be a spectator?" Xiao Yao said, "As far as the identity of a photographer is concerned, when I was nine years old, I already had photographs signed by YS that appeared in professional photography magazines in Europe and America. By the way. Just to say, if it wasn’t the Mr. Xiao Yong who publicly questioned my qualifications as a judge on the show, I would not disclose my identity as YS. Just like today, if it hadn’t been for someone to plagiarize me, I would not disclose it. Explain that I am XY. Closer to home, I went to the Eva show when I was ten years old and was invited to be a photographer...
