Entertaining Children

Su Xiao chatted with Xiao Yao briefly, then took his leave and left. ??August 1?Chinese Network Ｑ㈧W?W?． ?8?1?ZW. COM

Yu Hua knew that it was difficult to interview people of Su Xiao's level, so instead of leaving with Su Xiao, he stayed in the lounge and continued to interview Xiao Yao.

"I just found out that you wrote songs for the army, can you say a few more words?" Yu Hua stretched out the microphone in front of Xiao Yao again.

Their program is called "Straight to the Spring Festival Gala", which does not mean that they can only interview and report on things related to the Spring Festival Gala. Some anecdotes about the actors who participated in the Spring Festival Gala also fall within the scope of their reports. It is definitely worth continuing to interview and report that writing songs of the Tenth Army Brigade and giving them to the troops for free

"Actually, it's nothing. It was written in September last year when we were freshmen in the military training." Xiao Yao smiled, "Our military training is in the military camp, and the nights are strictly controlled, and there are no activities, so we just write songs. At that time, I stayed in the military camp, surrounded by soldiers, and what I saw and heard were all related to the army. We would sing songs during the daytime during the military training breaks, all of which were military songs, so I thought about writing a few songs related to the army. Related military songs."

"Did you write it during military training? How long did your military training last? The military training in college should not last a month, right? You can write ten in a month?" Yu Hua asked in surprise.

"It's hard to say about other creators, but if it's about Xiao Yao...not to mention ten songs a month, I wouldn't be surprised if he writes ten songs a week." Chen Chen interjected with a smile.

"Then how long did it take you?" Yu Hua asked Xiao Yao, "Also, just now, Teacher Su Xiao said that you gave all the songs to Teacher Zhao Lanying. How did you and Teacher Zhao Lanying know each other?"

"It's only about a week, I don't remember the specific days." Xiao Yao smiled, "During the military training break and playing songs, I sang a few new songs I wrote, which happened to be heard by the commander of our army. At that time, there happened to be a sympathy performance in our army, and the leader wanted to use my new songs to perform, so I gave them the ten songs I wrote. They asked Teacher Zhao Lanying from the Army Art Troupe to help choose songs, but Teacher Zhao was very happy after reading it. Interested, I found our army and told me that I wanted to buy them all, so I gave them all. Since it was a song written for soldiers, I didn’t think about selling it. I told Teacher Zhao that as long as it was related to the theme of the army , you can sing whatever you want, I will authorize it for free. That’s how it is.”

"Your kindness is really hard to come by. No wonder Teacher Su Xiao made a special trip to thank you." Yu Hua couldn't help sighing.

"Okay, thank you very much for accepting my interview today. I wish you a smooth performance and a wonderful performance for us." Yu Hua finally said to several people. Her interview task is not limited to Xiao Yao and the two groups of artists in the lounge. If Su Xiao hadn't arrived suddenly, she would have withdrawn a long time ago. Now she has been interviewing for so long.

It's time for her to go interview someone else, too.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao and others politely waved goodbye to the camera and Yu Hua.

The program "Straight to the Spring Festival Gala" can be regarded as a warm-up program before the Spring Festival Gala. There are not many people watching this program on TV, and there are almost no viewers for the live broadcast on the Internet. This time happened to be dinner time, and most of them were families with a small number of people and a TV set in the living room where the New Year's Eve dinner was being eaten.

Although it has been several years since Xiao Yao became popular because of the role of "Chengying", Xiao Yao has been on the social news because of his bravery on the subway, and because of the double champion. These are last year in the Gregorian calendar and this year in the lunar calendar. What happened, even if it is not his fans, he still has a lot of popularity among ordinary people who don't pay much attention to the entertainment industry. Those middle-aged and elderly viewers who are more concerned about current affairs are the main crowd waiting in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and most of those who watch the "Straight to the Spring Festival Gala" are also of this type.

Therefore, when the interview with Xiao Yao and Su Xiao appeared on TV, it somewhat attracted some people's attention. The fact that he wrote songs for the army spread among these people.

To say that the most concerned about Xiao Yao must be his family.

After Xiao Yao was reborn, Xiao Chengru never attended the Spring Festival Gala. In previous years, on the night of New Year's Eve, Xiao Siqi's family would spend New Year's Eve with Mr. Xiao in his courtyard. Before and after Xiao Siqi remarried, he participated in the Spring Festival Gala performances. After marrying Xiao Siqi, Ye Jiaying also performed on the Spring Festival Gala stage. Therefore, the custom in their family is that those who do not have the task of the Spring Festival Gala are responsible for spending New Year's Eve with Mr. Xiao in the courtyard.

In previous years, Mr. Xiao spent New Year's Eve with Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao's father and son, and also spent New Year's Eve with Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao's mother and son. The happiest family of four had a reunion in a courtyard. But Xiao Yao was not there, and Mr. Xiao and his wife Xiao Siqi celebrated New Year's Eve together. This was the first time this year. Therefore, these three people are also paying special attention to this year's Spring Festival Gala, including the previous warm-up program "Direct to the Spring Festival Gala", they are also watching.

"Ba Yi wrote ten songs for the army and gave them away for free. What happened? When did it happen?" Hearing the interview on TV, Mr. Xiao looked at Xiao Siqi in surprise.

"I don't know either." Xiao Siqi laughed, "He never told me about this. You always know that the songs written by Bayi, who to sell to, and how to sell, have always been his own decisions. In the past He wants to sell songs through me, and he will discuss with me, now he has his own agent to help him negotiate the contract and price, and he rarely even discusses with me."

"Let's not talk about us, I guess even the manager who is with him still doesn't know about it." Ye Jiaying continued, "When I still came back from Shanghai last month to help him confirm the rehearsal time for the Spring Festival Gala, I talked to her about the situation in Shanghai in the past few months on August 1, but I never heard her mention this matter."

"Look, he said he wrote it during military training, no wonder Fang still doesn't know about it." Xiao Siqi pointed to Xiao Yao, who was interviewed by Yu Hua on TV, and said, "This kid! I want to give him a second album because of his The number of songs is not enough, but he is lucky, he participated in a week of military training and wrote ten military songs, and gave them away for free, which is enough for an album."

"What do you mean? Are you blaming Bayi?" Xiao Chengru glared at Xiao Siqi and said, "You have to sell copyrights to collect money for writing songs for soldiers? I think Bayi is doing a good job. I'll tell you Said, if your studio needs to deal with the army in the future, just relying on the incident reported today, it will be much easier for you to cooperate with the army. Your son is farsighted in doing this!"

"Yes, yes, you are always right." Xiao Siqi laughed, "This guy is a monster. Didn't you keep saying that he will be better than me in the future? You see, he is already better than me now, writing ten songs in a week , I can’t do it even if I’m killed.”

"It's the holidays today, what nonsense are you talking about "dead" and not "dead"?" Ye Jiaying patted Xiao Siqi, complained, and then said to Xiao Chengru, "But when it comes to Bayi, I'm afraid none of us can grasp it .”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Chengru looked at Ye Jiaying and said.

"Let me just say it clearly," Ye Jiaying said with a smile, "We have been competing in secret all the time. Siqi wants to become a singer after Bayi, and my father and I want to be an actor after Bayi. Bayi also knows it in his heart, so He released a creative album, and went to the university to study in the Department of Performing Arts. It seems that he is balancing between us, taking care of both aspects. But in fact, he does far more than these things.”

"What else did he do?" Xiao Chengru asked with great interest.

"Dad, you also participated in the shooting of the short film during the August 1st summer vacation. After returning from the August 1st holiday, he told us that he had sent that short film to the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival for selection. Ye Jiaying said, "That is a film festival known as the "Short Film Cannes". Of course, I think the quality of his short film is qualified, but the first short film went to the "Short Film Cannes". Can you see Bayi’s ambition? Not just an actor, but he’s not just a director for fun.”

"I know that," Xiao Chengru said, "I remember he said that he wanted to be a director when he asked the examiner for the third test of the drama art examination. It's normal for an actor to want to be a director."

"But that's not all." Ye Jiaying said, "Do you know what else he did on August 1st last month? He cooperated with a special effects company in Shanghai to make an animated film. It's not a short film, but a feature-length animated film released in theaters. .”

"Animated feature films? That would cost a lot of money." Xiao Chengru said, "Did he ask you for money?"

"No," Xiao Siqi said, "Bayi never mentioned this to me at all."

"Yes, he didn't mention it to us. I heard from Bayi's new assistant, Pei Minyi, and he only admitted it after asking Bayi himself." Ye Jiaying said, "He said that we don't need us yet. The studio gave him money, so he didn’t tell us. The production cycle of animation films is very long. He plans to spend his own money first, and then solicit investment when the funds are really not enough. He won’t let us give him money directly. Instead, let the studio invest in that animation film as an investor, act as a co-producer, and give the studio a share of the proceeds."

"Spend your own money first? How much money does Bayi have now?" Xiao Chengru said, "The production cycle of animated films is indeed relatively long, but there is a lot of investment in the early stage, and the cost of money during the production process is also very fast. How long can he last by himself?"

"Although we don't know how much money he has in his personal account, I guess he won't have a lot of money after the short film is finished. When he went to the United States during the summer vacation, he bought economy class tickets. "Ye Jiaying said, "But it doesn't matter if you don't have much money now, Bayi will make money. Not to mention that Bayi's own songs have continuous income, you probably don't know, he is now two The boss of the company."

"There's nothing I don't know about that." Xiao Siqi laughed, "Our studio and the modeling agency. I already transferred the shares of the modeling agency to him last year."

"I forgot about this." Ye Jiaying patted her forehead, then shook her head and said, "Although some people in our studio call him Little Boss, it's only because he is our son. Strictly speaking, he is not working now." The owner of the studio. The shares in that modeling company are real. In this way, Bayi is already the owner of shares in three companies."

"Three?" Xiao Chengru and Xiao Siqi said in surprise, "Do you mean he started his own company, or two?"

"Yes," Ye Jiaying nodded, "The two newly established companies, one is registered in China, and the other is a company registered in the United States."

"Why didn't I know?" Xiao Siqi asked anxiously, "When did you know? Why didn't you tell me?"

"After I came back from the August 1st holiday, what he told me when I chatted with him was the time I asked him about the animation movie." Ye Jiaying said, "Anyway, I was thinking about telling Dad about these things, so I didn't tell him in advance. You, tell you together today, lest I have to say it twice."

"Cut~" Xiao Siqi gave Ye Jiaying a contemptuous look, "You just want to show in front of the old man that you as a mother know your son better than me as a father."

"It's not that you, a father, don't care about Bayi as much as Jiaying, a mother." Xiao Chengru said to Xiao Siqi.

"It can't be my fault," Xiao Siqi called Qu, "Ba Yi, he only talks with his mother when he is with me. He plays instruments or talks about music together. He doesn't talk to me about these things at all."

"It's not that you are unreliable as a father. When my son is with you, he only wants to play." Xiao Chengru said to Xiao Siqi again, then turned to Ye Jiaying and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this, you and About your son, go home and talk about it yourself. Or tell me what happened to Bayi and these two companies? How come there is an American company? When he went to the United States to visit Duoer during the summer vacation, he also opened a company by the way?"

"It wasn't when I went to the United States during the summer vacation, but after I came back from the United States." Ye Jiaying said, "I didn't come back during the August 1st National Day holiday. It is said that I learned how to make musical instruments with two musical instrument makers who came from the United States in Shanghai."

"I know that, but I also know the hand dish." Xiao Siqi interjected.

"During that time, he not only learned how to make guitars and musical instruments like hand discs," Ye Jiaying said, "he also partnered with the American instrument maker who helped him make hand discs to start a company that makes hand discs. Eight One half of the funds and half of the company's equity. He is responsible for providing patented technology, and the musical instrument maker is responsible for production and management. The musical instrument maker is an American, so the company opened in the United States. At the beginning of this month, the company had It was officially established. Bayi didn’t attend the company’s founding ceremony because of the rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala, but various legal documents have already been sent to him.”

Xiao Siqi asked in surprise, "Then do we have to call him Boss Xiao from now on? But he issues patents, and he is in charge of production and management. Is he going to be the shopkeeper?"

"Not exactly." Ye Jiaying said, "Why do you think he performed hand discs at Donghai Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party? He was promoting hand discs. I heard Fang still say that after the performance on August 1 that day , I took several orders for hand discs in the lounge of Donghai TV Station.”
