Entertaining Children

That night, Xiao Yao just introduced Zhao Rui and Xu Fei to Mu Ying, and agreed to meet every other week to discuss the script through online video chat, and then interrupted the video communication. Bayi???Chinese Network? W?W?W. 81 ZW. COM After all, it's already past one o'clock in the morning. Everyone has worked hard after recording the program for a whole day, and they have to fly back tomorrow.

The next morning, Xiao Yao and Zhao Rui parted ways at the airport. Xiao Yao returned to Shencheng, while Zhao Rui and the others all returned to Yanjing. As for notifying Chen Xiaoting about the parkour movie, Zhao Rui and Xu Fei were in charge. Anyway, the script was not finalized yet, and the budget was not ready yet, so there was no need to pay for it right away. Chen Xiaoting, like Zhao Rui and Xu Fei, both live in Yanjing, and they are studying in Yanjing Chinese Opera together with Xu Fei, so there is no need for Xiao Yao to make a special trip to Yanjing.

On the fourth day after Xiao Yao returned to Shanghai, the short film "Tuner" was launched simultaneously on the three major video websites in China and the official video website of Shonan Satellite TV. Xiao Yao's online broadcast rights for short films are sold exclusively in Europe and North America, and there is only one video website in the region that can broadcast them. In China, Xiao Yao did not plan to give the video website of Shonan Satellite TV the right to broadcast for free, even if he did not intend to give the exclusive broadcast right to one video website. Seeing is more important than the financial gain of the short film.

After the short film was launched on the four video websites, they all put this short film on the most prominent recommendation position on the page. In the introduction of the recommended slot, Xiao Yao's name and the title of "The Most Popular Audience Award in the International Competition Section of the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival" immediately attracted the attention of many netizens.

"I'm going, Xiao Yao? Is that Xiao Yao who sings? Is he going to make a micro movie? Or is he writing, directing and acting? Could it be the same name and surname?" This is the first doubt that netizens have when they see this video introduction.

"What is the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival? It sounds amazing. Is it really amazing?" This is the second doubt of netizens.

Out of curiosity, many netizens clicked on the video and watched this short movie with a seemingly awesome title.

"I'll go, it's really Xiao Yao. Although he has a beard, his looks and the way he plays the piano are definitely Xiao Yao."

"The lineup of this microfilm is awesome, but when you think about it carefully, except for the old lady and the unknown protagonist's girlfriend who didn't show her face, the others are all people related to Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao's grandfather, Xiao Yao's mother Lin Shaohua is the father of Xiao Yao's good brother Lin Qisan, Cheng Xi is an artist in their studio, Su Chengying and Huang Shi both worked with Xiao Yao in "Ling Yunzhi" back then. You don't need to look at the protagonist's appearance to know that it can't be Xiao Yao with the same name."

"The focus of this short film is Xiao Yao's self-writing, directing and self-acting, okay? Not to mention winning the first short film, but self-writing and directing. Is this guy a genius for making short films?"

"What kind of genius? Isn't it just because of the family relationship,

Did it come out of the star lineup? With such a cast, how many fans do so many stars have? Any director can make a most popular short film. "

"Are those upstairs idiots? They are selected by a French film festival, foreign audiences, and not our China's online votes? Except for Ye Jiaying and Lin Shaohua, everyone else is from our China TV circle. There are a few French Do the audience know? Even Lin Shaohua and Ye Jiaying only appeared three times in "Cannes" together, which was still several years ago. Even if it depends on the celebrity's popularity, it depends on Xiao Yao himself. , appearing in foreign news more times than Ye Jiaying and Lin Shaohua combined."

"What is this Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival? Is it an international category A? Why haven't I heard of it? Could it be a title bought with money?"

"To popularize science, the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival is one of the earliest international short film festivals in the world. Many famous foreign directors are known through this film festival, just because this film festival is It is only for short films, so there are not many talents in our country. The film festival is held in France, and it is known as "Short Film Cannes" in Europe and the United States. It is a very authoritative and professional film festival, and it is definitely not unknown. It is a third-rate film festival. I just checked, and the official website of the film festival does have this film and Xiao Yao’s name in this year’s list of winners. At the same time, there are big-name directors who were shortlisted this year but did not win awards...”

In just a few days, there were already hundreds of comments from netizens on the three major video websites. Shonan Satellite TV’s video website itself had fewer views, but there were dozens of comments. Some of them were amazed, and doubts were inevitable, but in any case, judging from the growth rate of hits, this short film has the potential to explode.

Then, the episode of "Happy Camp" that Xiao Yao participated in the recording was broadcast. Because Xiao Yao’s short film is also available on his home video website, during post-editing, the dialogue between Xiao Yao and the host about the short film was completely preserved, and many viewers who watched the quick copy also began to Searched for this short film on the Internet. The recording and broadcasting of Kuaiben were only about a week away. After the broadcast of Kuaiben, this short film is still listed on the recommended pages of four video websites, and viewers can watch it by searching online. Therefore, whether it is the number of hits or the number of comments, there has also been an explosive growth.

More and more people saw this short film on the Internet, and more and more comments and messages from netizens.

"Who can tell me, did the protagonist survive in the end?"

"The piano sound continued until the end of the film, so it must be alive?"

"The sound engineer must be dead. Didn't notice the sound of a nail gun at the very beginning of the film? That's definitely not the sound of a door opening."

"This is an open ending. The director didn't say anything at the end, so it's up to the audience to decide whether he dies or not."

"What kind of open ending? There are many details in it that indicate that the protagonist is absolutely dead. First, the doorbell rang four times, which means..."

The classification label of this short film is suspense and thriller. The most talked about in the comments is the discussion about whether the protagonist will die in the end, and many netizens dig the details in the film to prove their point of view. In addition, many people expressed their overall evaluation of this short film, and most of them felt that this short film deserved an award.

"This is a delicate, thought-provoking short film that accommodates maximum variation in a small space, creating a tension of great contrast."

"I was amazed to watch it this time, but I broke out in a cold sweat when I watched it the second time, but I still want to watch it a third time."

"I agree with you upstairs. You have to watch this film at least three times. The first time you read the plot, well, there are also Huang Shi's women's clothing and Cheng Xi's. The second time is aftertaste, and the third time is to chew carefully."

"I'm not surprised that such a film can win an award."

"The best thing about this film is the plot, followed by the light and color treatment in the film, which made my hair stand on end. It's hard to imagine that this is written and directed by a guy who is less than twenty years old."

"This guy is a photographer, and his ability to deal with light and color is good. It can be seen from his previous mV, which is reflected in the electronic version of "faded". But this script, it is true. It’s not like someone his age can write it.”

As everyone discussed the short film, an old incident about Xiao Yao last year was brought up again by netizens.

"Does anyone remember that Xiao Yao caught a knife-wielding gangster on the subway in March last year? I remember that there was a media report on the Internet that interviewed passengers on the subway that day. That thief thought he was really blind, so he was discovered by Xiao Yao. Could it be that Xiao Yao himself is also a voyeur?"

"What voyeurism? That's someone experiencing the character! I remember that the passenger whose phone was stolen said in an interview with the reporter that Xiao Yao told her that he was experiencing the character at that time. It should be that Xiao Yao had already With this script, I am preparing for this role."

"But why did he come up with such a story? In the film, the protagonist boss (Lin Shaohua) said, "This world is either a voyeur or an exhibitionist", which highly summarizes the meaning of this film. The protagonist is a voyeur, and the fitness trainer among the clients is The transvestite, the beautiful dancer is an exhibitionist, and the kind old lady is a murderer. (Compared to the sloppy Su Chengying, he is the most normal client in the film.) Is this the world in Xiao Yao's eyes? Is this still the sunny boy in our eyes? Is Xiao Yao blackened, or is his youthful rebellious period just now?"

As the comments and discussions on the Internet became more and more heated, this short film quickly spread from several video sites to various social media such as Weibo, and countless netizens spontaneously recommended this short film on their social accounts. Xiao Yao's short film quickly became a hit. Not only did it attract gossip media reports, but it quickly became a hot topic on the Internet.

It's just that the hotter the short film is, the more doubts are accompanied by it. For a boy in his twenties, his debut short film has won a large international award. Whether it is as a director or a screenwriter, it is a very rare thing, let alone he wrote, directed and acted himself? is it possible? Many people raised doubts about Xiao Yao's identity as director and screenwriter on the Internet. Among them, there are also some people who are engaged in the film and television production industry.

So some good media started to ask the star actors in the short film for verification, and asked them about their experiences and feelings during the filming of the short film. Although of course they didn't explicitly say that they doubted Xiao Yao's identity as director and screenwriter, but they also hoped to find a clue of fraud from the actors' answers.

Among the celebrity actors, Xiao Chengru and Ye Jiaying are relatives of Xiao Yao, Cheng Xi is an artist in Xiao Yao's studio, Lin Shaohua and Xiao's family are family friends, and old artists like Tian Fangzhen live in seclusion, so Huang Shi and Su Chengying, two Mesozoic young stars, are on the same page. became the focus of interviews by journalists.

Facing the reporters' questions, Huang Shi and Su Chengying didn't feel unnatural in the slightest, and began to complain about Xiao Yao's bad behavior when he was the director of the short film in front of the reporters. When the reporters thought they could find big news, what Huang Shi complained about was Xiao Yao's whimsical mind. Not to mention a transvestite role for himself, the requirements were extremely strict. Obviously, some scenes in the script have already been filmed, and I have to add scenes temporarily, so that I can shoot a lot of shots in women's underwear. On the other hand, Su Chengying revealed that there was no hamburger scene in the script. On a whim, Xiao Yao temporarily asked the crew to go to the fast food restaurant downstairs to buy hamburgers, so that he had such an image-destroying scene.

Although the two seem to be complaining, judging from the details revealed, Xiao Yao is indeed the unyielding controller of the entire crew during the shooting of the short film. Whether he is the director or the screenwriter, he is the master of both titles. Well-deserved.

In fact, Huang Shi and Su Chengying also saw some skeptical voices on the Internet. Of course, they knew the purpose of the reporters, so after the interview, they deliberately posted on their Weibo some photos of Xiao Yao filmed on their mobile phones. A small video of the directing shoot. As a result, this questioning voice disappeared quickly before it formed a trend.

Then, as the hot discussion on the Internet continued to ferment, some TV station entertainment news and professional film media also joined in the report on this short film.

The influence of professional film media reports and online gossip media is naturally different, and more professionals in the film industry have also begun to notice this short film. The quality of this short film is undoubtedly very good, so Xiao Yao has received a wave of praise from the film industry. At the same time, Xiao Yao, a young genius who has only flourished in the music circle in recent years, With this explosive short film, it broke into the field of vision of people in the Chinese film circle.

For the fact that Xiao Yao's short film debut can win awards abroad and become so popular on the Internet, besides Xiao Yao's family and friends, the happiest thing is Xiao Yao's fans.

Xiao Yao first made his debut playing the role of "Cheng Ying" in "Ling Yun Zhi". Among Xiao Yao's fans, quite a few of them met and fell in love with Xiao Yao's "film and television fans" through this character. Although Xiao Yao has produced a lot of music works in the past two years and his performance is very good, many people are still looking forward to his development in film and television, because no matter what, the status of film and television stars in the entertainment industry is still higher than that of singers.

In the past two years, Xiao Yao has been quiet in film and television. Although he was admitted to the acting department of Shenxi Opera, it means that he should still want to be an actor, but he is not included in the cast of the TV series "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" whose family studio participated in the investment and he participated in the screenwriting. Many fans are a little worried whether this weird guy suddenly doesn't want to act anymore.

It wasn’t until Xiao Yao explained in the quick book whether he went to shoot short films during the filming of the TV series, or whether he was a director, screenwriter and starring role, and made such a movie that was well received (award winning) and popular (online hits) The short film work reassures Xiao Yao's "film and television fans". I feel that not only has he not lost interest in acting, but it seems that he is going to adjust his future focus to film and television.
