Entertaining Children

  Chapter 777 Special benefits

  When Xiao Yao took promotional photos for the men’s basketball team, he was in a suit for each person, and the film looked like six or seven pieces per person, and he couldn't even fill in a nine-square grid. The promotional photos taken for the women's basketball players this time were two to three different costumes for each person. The final film was 14 to five per person. It was almost the same as the promotional photos for the men's basketball players that year. Twice the number. Even if the three or four photos selected by the Basketball Association on the official website were removed, the remaining photos couldn't fit in a nine-square grid. The women's basketball players posted two Weibos in a row before posting all those photos.

  China basketball fans pay more attention to men’s basketball than women’s basketball. In terms of popularity, the men's basketball players are definitely far ahead of the women's basketball players, but in terms of appearance, despite the same long legs, the girls of the women's basketball team are more eye-catching than the boys of the men's basketball team. Generally speaking, whether it is taking promotional photos or attending formal occasions, women have more choices of clothing styles than men. Therefore, fans and netizens feel that the difference in the number of costumes and photos in Xiao Yao's two promotional photos is quite normal.

Fans and netizens have no objection, but some of the men’s basketball players jumped out to express their dissatisfaction publicly. They posted on their personal Weibo that Xiao Yao’s “respect of colors and friends”, taking pictures of men’s and women’s basketball players is a double standard. The women's basketball players are given special treatment, and the treatment of the two is too different.

The men’s basketball player not only mentioned the difference in the number of clothing and photos between the men’s basketball players and the women’s basketball team on Weibo, but also specifically mentioned that when Xiao Yao took promotional photos for the men’s basketball team, the clothing was all from domestic clothing brands. Or from the Huaxia branch of an international brand, but this time he helped the women’s basketball team to take promotional photos, Xiao Yao pushed the opening performance of the China Basketball Professional League this season, and went to New York Fashion Week to help the women’s basketball players. We choose clothes. Some of the women’s basketball players’ costumes were newly unveiled at New York Fashion Week last year, and the latest styles have not yet been officially released.

  After reading the news on this Weibo, everyone knew that Xiao Yao participated in the New York Fashion Week last year with the purpose of choosing clothes for the women's basketball players. Reminiscent of the robbery and kidnapping that Xiao Yao encountered in New York Fashion Week last year, and Xiao Yao also turned down the opportunity to perform in the opening match of the China Basketball Professional League for this reason. The fans' affection for Xiao Yao has deepened. .

  It is free for Xiao Yao to take promotional photos for the men's and women's basketball players. Even if the two are treated differently, it is also Xiao Yao's freedom. It is reasonable to say that no one should stand up and say something. However, after seeing that the men’s basketball player who tweeted on Weibo was Guo Qi, everyone also understood that this seemingly complaining and complaining Weibo is not complaining and complaining, but Guo Qi’s help in changing directions. Call remotely.

In the charity star basketball game last year, Xiao Yao passed Guo Qi an empty dunk pass, and Guo Qi also passed Xiao Yao an empty dunk pass. The tacit understanding between the two was compared to that between professional players. Even better. In addition, the two exchanges in the game are also very much, far surpassing other players, even the heads-up between Xiao Yao and Zhuo Zhiyuan seems to be Guo Qiqi. Whether it is cooperation or interaction, these two players are the most of the 18 players in the entire game.

  This kind of performance will naturally arouse the interest of journalists. In the post-match interview, when asked by reporters about this issue, Guo Qi also talked a lot about his relationship and origins with Xiao Yao. Everyone knows that, in addition to the cooperation in taking promotional photos for the men’s basketball team a few years ago, Guo Qi also gave a day of technical guidance for the TV series "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", and it happened that Xiao Yao played basketball as a guest. Of that scene. And the empty dunk he passed to Xiao Yao during the game was also a "secret weapon" that the two of them had deliberately practiced with their teammates in order to help Xiao Yao show the limelight in the game.

  After these interviews are reported, Guo Qi and Xiao Yao are undoubtedly a good pair of friends in everyone's eyes. It is precisely because of the good relationship that Guo Qi can complain and spit Xiao Yao so unscrupulously and make fun of him. And looking at a deeper level, Guo Qi is not really complaining about Xiao Yao, but in this way broke the news that Xiao Yao went to New York Fashion Week to help the women's basketball players choose clothes, and was actually helping Xiao Yao. speak.

  Guo Qi’s Weibo that complained and complained about Xiao Yao also specially added Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao himself did not make any response. Instead, many fans and Xiao Yao's fans rushed to Guo Qi's Weibo to reply and comment.

  "Xiao Yao is famous for his “respect of color and light of friends”. I don’t know this, it means that you and Xiao Yao are also superficial brothers."

   "Do you have Chen Nuo and Xu Yue looking good? I am Xiao Yao and I must take more pictures of the women's basketball players!"

  "What do you look like, don't you have that number in your heart?"

  A lot of ridicule Guo Qi's replies and comments made many netizens look very happy, and Guo Qi himself was very helpless.

  Guo Qi's Weibo is just an episode. Everyone's attention is focused on the protagonists of the promotional photos, the women's basketball girls, except for the photographer Xiao Yao and Guo Qi who jumped out to do things.

On the day the promotional photos were released, the topic of the women's basketball team participating in the World Championships has become a hot topic on the Internet. Many people got to know the women's basketball girls who were not familiar with them through those promotional photos. They paid more attention to and understood them, and they also had a lot of expectations for their performance in the World Championships this year. Everyone expressed their interest in this year's Women's Basketball World Championships and cheer for the women's basketball girls, hoping that these beautiful girls can achieve good results in the World Championships.

  But before seeing the performance of these girls in the World Championships, fans and netizens who followed these women's basketball girls saw their other side first. On the second day after the promotional photos were sent out, everyone saw a video of women's basketball girls singing.

  In addition to the promotional photos, Xiao Yao also made a song for the women's basketball players and made a video. That song is for the women's basketball players to participate in the Women's Basketball World Championships to cheer on. Naturally, it must be released before the women's basketball players go out. The specific release work of this song is in charge of Qijia Studio, but the specific release time is decided after communication and discussion with the Basketball Association.

Considering that the publicity photos will attract the attention of the media and the public and become a news hotspot when they are released, they do not want to distract the public from the publicity photos, so they put the video and song online second after the publicity photos are released. Day and the third day, in order to make the media and the public continue to pay attention to the women's basketball team participating in the Women's Basketball World Championship.

  The official website of the Basketball Association has a dedicated video section, but no dedicated music section. So on the second day of the promotional photos, the video of the song was first released on the video section of the Basketball Association’s official website, the video section of several major music sites, and several major video sites at the same time.

  The promotional song Xiao Yao wrote to the women’s basketball girls was the song "The First Dream" sung by Christine Fan. Compared with the four theme songs that Xiao Yao wrote to the professional league, the rhythm of this song is not fierce, and the action and graphics of the women's basketball game are not as visually impactful as the men's basketball, so the basketball association Nor did it specifically edit a promotional video for this song. Instead, it used Xiao Yao's video that was edited and edited with the women's basketball players singing in the studio wearing headphones.

You have seen a lot of videos of singers singing in the studio with headphones on. I have occasionally seen the video footage of individual athletes participating in the recording of charity songs, but all nine consecutive women’s basketball players are recording songs in the studio. This is the first time everyone has seen the music video.

  Although the scenes of this video are all the scenes of players recording songs in the studio wearing headphones, you can look at them individually, and this video is also quite visible.

Except for Chen Nuo and Xu Yue, the two women's basketball players who are recognized as having the highest appearance, everyone has seen a lot of the appearance of the other players in their usual games or interviews. Everyone knows how they look. But in this video, it is obviously a normal picture of singing with headphones in the recording studio. Without the kind of lights in the studio, the makeup on the face is also like the ordinary light makeup of a girl when she goes out, without any exaggeration. , But with the expression when singing, each team member makes people look and feel particularly beautiful.

  It can make the players with different looks also show beautiful effects. In addition to the skill of the makeup artist, it is the credit of the cameraman. The scenes in the video are in the same recording studio, and each team member stands at the same position when recording songs. The only difference is the angle selected during shooting. Some are profile faces, some are half-faces, and some are front faces. The so-called 360-degree beauties with no dead ends are rare. Accordingly, even girls with average looks will always look very beautiful from a certain angle. In this video, the angle at which each team member sang is exactly the most beautiful-looking angle.

  In addition to choosing a particularly good shooting angle, the editing of this video is also very interesting. The nine players sang a song, both solo and chorus. In the solo part, the video is naturally the picture of the player who sings, while in the chorus part, the video is split-screen to show the players who contributed the chorus sound. In the chorus part, the chorus personnel are changed frequently, and there are two or three fewer, five or six more, but the editing of the video is not only smooth, but also very accurate. In any place, no one's mouth shape was wrong at all.

  In the performance of the last song, these nine female players also gave the audience a big surprise.

  Athletes are not singers, and everyone will not be as strict with them as they are for singers. Basically, as long as they sound good and have an ordinary KTV inner Maiba level of singing skills, everyone will be shocked. There are not no athletes in the sports circle who can sing well. For example, Niu Ben, a sprinter from China in this world, Xu Tao, a swimmer, and Zhou Jifeng, a diving athlete, are all recognized by sports fans as good singers. After watching this video, everyone felt that none of the nine female basketball players sang worse than the above three.

   "Although I haven't heard the women's basketball players sing very much before, there are so many good singers in a women's basketball team? This is unscientific!" Many audiences have such a question.

  At the end of the video playback, this question in everyone's mind has also been answered. Although this video is not an official MV, it also has subtitles. At the beginning of the video, the name of the song is typed in the middle of the screen, but there is no information about the songwriter. During the playback process, when each of the women's basketball players appeared on the screen for the first time, the names of the players were typed vertically next to them, and the lyrics played by the players were simultaneously played at the bottom. After the song was sung, and the video was nearing the end, the staff list of the video was released in the form of a black screen. The songwriter, director, camera, and editor are all one name, Xiao Yao!

  This time, everyone will understand. It turns out that this music video was created by Xiao Yao. Not only did he take care of the songwriting and composition, he also did the shooting and editing of this video.

  Why do the female players in the video look so beautiful, because Xiao Yao is the photographer. After taking so many promotional photos for the players, can he not know which player has the most beautiful view from which angle? Why do you feel that these nine people sing so well? Because Xiao Yao is a professional music producer! In "Singer", someone who can help Liang Xueying prepare for the show, guide her singing, and be invited to be a mentor by "Good Voice", it is natural to guide several non-professional women's basketball players.

  Although there is no fierce game scene, this music video created by Xiao Yao was released and quickly spread across the Internet. Xiao Yao also continued to be a hot topic among netizens before the Women's Basketball World Championships.

  Many athletes sing in public, but all of them are covers. In this world, there are musicians who write songs with the deeds and spirit of athletes, but there has never been a musician who writes songs specifically for athletes who are not professional singers. This "First Dream" debuted in this music video of the women's basketball players. It is a new song that has not been sung by any singer before. Does that mean that these nine women's basketball players are this song? The original song, is this a song that belongs to them?

Of course, after all, this is only a music video. The official version of the song has not been released yet. It is also possible that the original vocal of this song is someone else, but it has not yet been officially released. Use the cover version of the women’s basketball team. The topic of the women's basketball team participating in the World Championships warmed up the song. After the song has gained popularity, the official version of the original song will be released. However, does Xiao Yao's work need to use women's basketball players to gain popularity?

  One day later, the official version of the song was launched on several major music websites at the same time. Although they are all in the free zone, the names of the nine women's basketball players are written on the singer column. After everyone clicked and listened, they found that it was indeed the version sung by the nine women's basketball players in the video. The official version is out, so the nine women's basketball players are the original song of the song, and it's settled.

  This song doesn’t sound too difficult. There should be a lot of singers who can sing. Not to mention Liang Xueying and other big-name singers who have cooperated with Xiao Yao, Fan Linxuan of Qi Jia Studio is very suitable for the style of this popular song, and her singing skills are obviously more suitable than the nine non-professional women's basketball players, but Xiao Haruka did not give this song to any professional singer, but to the nine women's basketball players who were not professional singers.

  Under the background that this good work is hard to find, and the media once exposed that many big-name singers were unable to invite Xiao Yao to invite songs, Xiao Yao’s behavior was once again shocked.

   Then, Guo Qi complained and complained to Xiao Yao’s Weibo, and there were countless more replies. Netizens said in their replies, what does it mean to have one or two more clothes and a few photos? It is normal for girls to have more clothes than boys and more photos. Writing songs, recordings and videos for the women's basketball players is the real special treatment. Guo Qi was urged to find Xiao Yao to invite a song to see if Xiao Yao would also write a song specifically for him or the men's basketball players.
