Entertaining Children

"Aren't you afraid that I will go to that show too, if I win the championship and steal Duo'er's limelight?" Cheng Xi asked Xiao Yao.

Cheng Xi told Xiao Yao that the subtext of this matter was "If I can't play Anna, I'll go to that show and compete with your girlfriend for the limelight", although it's not a threat, it's when I want Xiao Yao to choose Anna's actor I'm more inclined towards myself. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yao did not follow the routine. Not only did he not follow her wishes, but he persuaded her not to go to the audition. In desperation, Cheng Xi could only speak more clearly.

"Duo'er never said that she wanted the champion to come back to that show! She only decided to go because Jin was going! It was I who asked you to dance with your dance company, and she didn't mention it at all, so why don't you go? Go, it won’t affect her at all.” Xiao Yao said, “As far as I’m concerned, I don’t think a program can only be popular with one contestant, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that the final champion is the most popular. You are so familiar, if you both Let’s go, not to mention taking care of each other in the show, at least the interaction in the show will be better, which is good for you all. So if you go to that show, I’m happy to see it succeed!”

"As for the role of Anna," Xiao Yao continued, "If you can play it, of course I am willing to let you play it, but regardless of whether you can play it or not, as far as your personal development is concerned, I don't think you are too good at playing that role." Great benefit."

"Yo, it's also about my personal development." Cheng Xi said, "Then tell me, why is there no benefit?"

"First of all, that role is different from the roles you played before!" Xiao Yao said, "It will change the audience's image of you on screen."

"It's just right!" Cheng Xi said, "The characters I played in the past are quite similar. Sister Jiaying and I both want to seek some breakthroughs and make some changes in the way of acting. I can't always play Silly Baitian and Little Sheep, right? ?”

"Based on your current situation, if you want to seek a breakthrough, it's good to make a transformation on the road of drama," Xiao Yao said, "But you want to use the role of Anna to make a transformation on the road of drama, I don't think it's a good choice."

"Why?" Cheng Xi asked, "I think that role is very different from the roles I played before."

"There is a difference!" Xiao Yao said, "But that character is not a pure villain. Although it is not very likable, it is not very disgusting. Also, in this drama, this character is only It can be regarded as the second or third female lead. I know that you once played a better role as the second female lead than the first female lead in a certain play, but I wrote this play specially for Sister Xi. It's very big, and Anna is a character that the audience doesn't know how to love or hate. It's basically impossible for you to overshadow the female lead with this role in this drama.

For an actor like Li Xiaorui who is still struggling to seek high popularity and opportunities to show his face, this role is a very good opportunity, but for you who have no shortage of popularity, what you want is to be truly memorable, For actors with distinctive roles,

This role is a bit tasteless! "

"But participating in that variety show is different." Xiao Yao continued, "The media has reported your life, and many people know that you are from a dance troupe, but they know that they know that not many people have actually watched you dance. . Even if you have seen it, it is not the time for you to fully demonstrate the level of dancing.

In the past, when you were a backup dancer, you were not the protagonist, you had to cooperate with the singer in front. Later, when you transformed into an actor, when you participated in the New Year’s Eve party or participated in variety shows for promotional works, you did have some opportunities to perform alone, but those performances were relatively limited, either the technical level of the show was not high, or the entire performance was not complete. Impressions are limited. I think the time you showed the highest level of dancing on stage was when you danced for me in "Singer". But that time you were still not the protagonist of the stage, and most of the attention was still on me.

This variety show is a competitive dance show, and it is a platform that allows you to fully demonstrate your own dance level. In this program, you can fully show your full ability in dance and let the audience see a brand new you. I think the effect of your participation in this program is completely comparable to my participation in "Singer" back then, and it is much better than the second female lead in a TV series. "

"'Dancing with the Stars' is not 'Singer', and I'm not you, and it's comparable to your participation in 'Singer' back then, and you're flattering me too much!" Cheng Xi laughed, "After all, I just don't want me Go play your play, let Duoer and I go to the show together!"

"I'm helping you analyze it, okay?" Xiao Yao said helplessly, "If you don't believe what I said, just come to the audition, I promise to choose the actor for this role fairly and justly. If you are worried, I could also refrain from auditioning for the role and leave the choice entirely to the director and the other producers."

"No, I believe you!" Cheng Xi waved his hands and smiled, "Although you are the second generation of stars, you have rarely used the resources of the elders in your family for so many years. Your parents don't care about you. You develop freely because you believe in your judgment and ability. And you are indeed powerful, whether it is music or film and television, you can now be said to be a top-level existence. How can I doubt your judgment?"

"Don't blow me up too much. I'm just playing around, and my parents often say that I'm a hammer and a stick!" Xiao Yao laughed, "But the analysis and suggestions just now, I don't know. Seriously!"

"Understood, I will think about it carefully!" Cheng Xi said, "But even if I go to audition for the role, you don't have to avoid it, just do what you want!"

"Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded.

At this point, Cheng Xi and Chen Chen have finished talking about looking for Xiao Yao. The three of them sat for a while, chatted for a while, and then went back to each other.

In the morning of the next day, Xiao Yao went to the hotel again to pick up Zhou Jingyi and others, and went to a model agency to try on the dresses for the awards ceremony in the evening. After revisions yesterday afternoon and evening, several inappropriate places in Zhou Jingyi's and Samien's dresses have been corrected. After the two tried again, there was no discomfort at all.

The morning is basically a dress test. In the afternoon, Xiao Yao and the band members were going to the live rehearsal of the awards ceremony, so they handed over Muying, Zhou Jingyi and others to Zhao Rui and Xu Fei.

The award ceremony is not a cultural evening. Although there are performances, the number of programs is not many, so the number of programs and personnel that need to be rehearsed are not many. After Xiao Yao and the band members arrived, it didn't take long before it was their turn to rehearse on stage. After rehearsing for most of the day yesterday, the tacit understanding between Xiao Yao and the band has recovered very well. During the rehearsal, I just got used to the stage, environment and musical instrument audio equipment of the awards ceremony, so the rehearsal went quite smoothly.

There is also a lounge for the stars at the awards ceremony. However, there are many stars attending the award ceremony, and one room for each person is definitely not enough, and some stars may not necessarily use the lounge when attending the award ceremony, but the performers basically have to change their costumes during the performance. All performers have their own lounges.

Since there is an exclusive lounge, Xiao Yao didn't plan to go back to the model agency to meet other people after the rehearsal, but brought the styling team with him when he came, and changed clothes in the exclusive lounge to do styling, waiting for others to come to meet .

Half an hour before the start of the red carpet show, Zhao Rui and Xu Fei brought other crew members who were going to attend the awards ceremony to the scene to join Xiao Yao and others.

Watching the red carpet show on TV, I often see a car driving to the red carpet, and the star gets out of the car and starts to walk the red carpet. However, due to traffic reasons, in many cases, celebrities do not go to the scene from their residences, but arrive at the scene in advance to prepare, wait for their order of appearance and time to come out, and then come out from other places on the scene, take the vehicle arranged by the organizer, and go to the scene nearby. Simply circle around and get off at the edge of the red carpet.

Zhao Rui and the others came after the styling was done. The distance between the modeling agency and the awards ceremony was not close, and after arriving, they took a short rest. Tidy up the dress, touch up makeup and so on, and soon it will be time for the red carpet show to start.

Among all the films nominated for the Golden Dragon Awards this year, the number of nominations received by Xiao Yao and his crew is not too high, and the topicality is not too high, but the composition of the crew, individual popularity and topicality are not small.

Whether it is a mix of Chinese and foreign members, Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, and Xu Fei, a team that launched a new sport that is popular worldwide, made their appearance together, or young people like Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui, and Xu Fei represent the Chinese film industry. The rise of emerging forces is one of the topics that the media and the public love to talk about.

After comprehensive consideration, the organizer arranged the order of the crew's appearance on the red carpet in the second half of the entire red carpet show, which is almost two-thirds of the entire process. Although it is neither the opening nor the finale, but overall, it seems that they attach great importance to them.

The whole red carpet show lasts about an hour, so half an hour after the red carpet show started, the crew went out and got into the car. After following the car in front for a while, the car suddenly accelerated and stopped firmly beside the red carpet.

Since their crew had a large number of people attending the awards ceremony and walked the red carpet together, the organizer arranged four courtesy cars for the crew.

Xiao Yao and Mu Ying sat in the first car. After the two got out of the car, there were screams of fans calling Xiao Yao's name outside the guardrail next to them. Xiao Yao smiled and waved to the fans, but did not move. After the courtesy car taken by Xiao Yao and Mu Ying left, the car behind it arrived again. The entire crew walked the red carpet together, and Mu Ying and Xiao Yao had to wait for the crew members behind to get off.

Zhou Jingyi and Zhao Rui sat in the second car. When walking the red carpet, get off from the same side and stand directly on the red carpet. The dresses of female stars are more troublesome, and they usually need a little help from men when they get off the bus. Zhao Rui, who was on the side closer to the red carpet, got out of the car first, and took a look at Xiao Yao. Seeing that Xiao Yao hadn't moved, he stood by the car door and bent over to lead Zhou Jingyi to help her get out of the car.

Later, Samien was in the same car as the band members, and Xiao Yao also did not move, so Dean helped Samion get out of the car.

After all the people got out of the car, everyone set off together, smiling and waving to the fans on the side, and walked to the other side of the red carpet.

Such a mighty group of people, walking together is full of momentum. Fans and audience guarding outside the guardrail were also very excited and kept shouting the names of the crew members. From the performance of these red carpet audiences, we can see the popularity of the crew members.

Among these people, Xiao Yao is undoubtedly the most popular, and the fans outside the audience shouted his name the loudest. Followed by Zhao Rui and Xu Fei.

Next, Chinese audiences were unfamiliar with one of the leading actors through that movie, the Chinese actress Kimberly Zhou, and Chen Xiaoting, who was well-known in China but was not the leading actor in the movie.

Further down, there are the band members. However, everyone is not very familiar with the band members. Except for a few who call Samion and Dean, most of them call the band name "Immortals".

The director Mu Ying is from China, and some audience members know him, but very few people call him by his name. His name is basically inaudible in the voices of other people, and it feels similar to the treatment of the other two American behind-the-scenes staff on the crew.

A group of people walked to the signature board and let the photographers take pictures, signed their names on the signature board in turn, and then the outfield host who was in charge of the on-site interview came up.

"Director Xiao, Director Mu, hello everyone!" The host came up and said hello briefly, then looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Your crew should be the one with the largest number of people on the red carpet of our awards ceremony. The guest of the group!"

"The organizer originally wanted us to leave separately," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "but we have a lot of foreign friends here. It's the first time I come to Huaxia to participate in the awards ceremony. I'm a little shy, and we need to take it with me, so we all left together. .”

The organizer really thought about letting the crew walk the red carpet separately. In the absence of Zhou Jingyi, the plan was to have Zhao Rui, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting in a group, Mu Ying with two American staff members, and Xiao Yao with the band. Make a group of members, or let Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui, Xu Fei, and Chen Xiaoting form a group with the four veteran parkour teams, and let the four members of the band go by themselves. However, due to Xiao Yao's too many identities, no matter which one he felt was inappropriate, and he couldn't split himself into several or repeat several times, he finally decided to leave with everyone.

"Americans are shy?" The host was stunned and subconsciously said.

According to the original script, here Xiao Yao should be saying that he has too many identities, and he can't be divided, so he walked together. The host will also praise Xiao Yao's omnipotence. But Xiao Yao didn't follow the script, and the host was a little confused for a while.

"Of course Americans are shy!" Xiao Yao pointed at Dean, "No, Dean is very outgoing," then pointed at Sammy, "Neither is Sammy, she is cold." Finally pointing to George and Mike, "These two are, George and Mike are relatively shy."

"By the way, there's Jin," Xiao Yao pointed to Zhou Jingyi and said, "She's not the shy type."

"Well, let me welcome foreign friends first!" The host could only follow Xiao Yao's path, and said to a few foreigners, "Welcome to Huaxia!"

"Hello everyone!" The four members of the band and Zhou Jingyi waved with smiles in Chinese.

"Oh~" The audience outside the guardrail cheered when the five people greeted each other in Chinese.

"Xiao Yao, do all the foreigners around you speak Chinese?" the host asked Xiao Yao.

"It's not that the foreigners around me know it," Xiao Yao pointed to the two behind-the-scenes staff in the United States and said, "Kevin and Russell can't."

These people came to Huaxia to participate in the awards ceremony, and Xiao Yao also tried his best to help them impress others. Of course, the relationship between the two behind-the-scenes staff and Xiao Yao is definitely not comparable to that between Zhou Jingyi and others. The treatment is naturally different. Xiao Yao didn't intend to let them talk, and it would be good to mention their names.

"The few of them who know Chinese are indeed influenced by me, but I didn't let them learn it, but they learned it on their own initiative!" Xiao Yao pointed to Dean and the others again, "They are compared with the time I met. For a long time, I was interested in me, so I went to learn Chinese by myself. Kevin and Russell still can't, because they haven't been in contact with me long enough!"

"Hey~" Zhou Jingyi and the band members can understand Chinese. Although what Xiao Yao said was true, Dean still booed Xiao Yao, and Samien rolled his eyes.

"Ha!" Some viewers who were closer to the signature board laughed loudly when they saw the reaction of the two.

"I heard that the five of you are all from the warm Los Angeles," the host asked, "Do you feel that Yanjing is particularly cold?"

Due to the large number of people in Xiao Yao's group, more interview time is reserved for this group. However, not everyone needs to be interviewed in this outsourcing session, and the host of the outfield can control who to interview.

"It's really cold tonight!" Zhou Jingyi, who speaks the best Chinese among the five, replied in Chinese, hugged her arms exaggeratedly, and then laughed, "It's a good thing that Yang prepared special dresses for us, so It feels okay!"

"A special dress?" The host looked at Zhou Jingyi's dress and said, "This dress on you is very beautiful, but I don't see anything special about it!"

"You can touch it!" Zhou Jingyi laughed.

"Is it okay?" She confirmed it even though the outfield host was a woman.

"Yes!" Zhou Jingyi nodded.

"Ah, it's warm!" the host said.

"Yes!" Zhou Jingyi said, "This dress is a new product of Yang's Xisi brand, which is equipped with a specially designed thermal system. Wearing such a dress, the exposed arms will still be cold, but the body's main body The parts are warm, so the whole person does not feel particularly cold. There are also very cold winters in the United States, such as New York. After returning to the United States, I plan to recommend this kind of dress to American stars, so that walking on the red carpet outdoors in winter will be easier. It won't be too hard."

No matter how she felt towards Xiao Yao these two days, Zhou Jingyi still agreed to the propaganda task that Xiao Yao entrusted to her, and fulfilled it with all her heart.

"No wonder!" The host looked at Xiao Yao and said, "A lot of celebrities are wearing dresses of your brand tonight, right?"

It is indeed a chore for celebrities to walk the red carpet in the winter. Although most of the stars have high professionalism and behave naturally when facing the camera, at other times, there are also some real reactions of being frozen, and some people even run into the venue regardless of their image after leaving the camera Inside.

However, the stars' restraint when facing the camera is limited to facing the main camera or the found camera. From time to time every year, pictures and videos of celebrities shivering from the cold, grinning, and other facial expressions and movements on the red carpet are circulated on the Internet. Later, some viewers or reporters even went to capture and secretly take funny photos of those stars.

Although this year's Golden Dragon Award Ceremony is already in March, due to the coming of the cold wave, the temperature tonight is extremely low, which is not much different from that in winter. Some photojournalists also specially stood by the side of the red carpet, waiting to capture the performance of those stars who were frozen.

As an outfield host, the host herself has thin clothes and is terribly cold. When she is not working, she will secretly observe the frozen appearance of the stars. But according to her observation, it seems that there are not as many celebrities who feel cold tonight, especially female celebrities, as she saw when she was an outfield host in previous winters.

"Hehe," Xiao Yao smiled, "Tonight is the Golden Dragon Awards Ceremony, and it's not my brand's press conference, so I won't advertise here!"

"No commercials? You've already finished advertising, okay?" the host complained in his heart.

"To be honest, it's really cold tonight, even if you wear a special dress." Xiao Yao hugged his arms and said, "Is your external interview over? Do you think we can enter the venue? "

Anyway, the coming and going of external interviews are those problems, and there is nothing new. After Xiao Yao's commercial was finished and the promotional goal was achieved, he didn't want to stay outside and suffer from the cold.

"Really? I also want to ask Director Xiao about your current situation, whether you have completely transformed into a director, and will concentrate on developing in movies in the future." The host smiled, "Since you are considered cold, then I will not ask, In case you get cold. In case you get sick from cold, I can't explain to your fans!"

"No need, no need, if I get injured or get sick, I basically ask for it. My fans generally don't seek trouble from others!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Speaking of the recent situation, I can say a few more words."

Xiao Yao moved closer to the host's microphone, facing the main camera lens and the audience fans outside and said: "My movie "Donkey Gets Water" is now being released. I directed this movie independently, and I am also one of the screenwriters and starring actors." One. I won’t have any other movies released this year, so whether I can appear here next year is up to everyone!” Saying that, Xiao Yao bowed.

"Hey, Xiao Yao, this year's Golden Dragon Awards haven't been drawn yet, so you've got tickets for next year's awards!" The host said helplessly to Xiao Yao.

Although whether a film is nominated for an award is not necessarily linked to the box office, especially the Golden Dragon Award claims that it does not consider box office factors, but the range of films selected for the awards are all films that have been publicly released in the previous year, and the judges rarely have never seen them at all. The box office and word-of-mouth of the movie will still have an invisible impact on the reviewers when it is released.

"Understood, we will watch it and give good reviews!" The audience and fans at the scene laughed.

"Everyone just go and watch it, and you can evaluate it as you like, and you don't need to give good reviews deliberately!" Xiao Yao laughed.

"Okay, we thank the "Parkour Boys" crew, please come in!" The host waved his hand and made a gesture of invitation, ending the off-site interview.
