Entertaining Children

After taking photos of the cover of Tang Jingjing's single, Xiao Yao went to the construction site of the press conference in the afternoon to check and accept the layout of the press conference. Bayi Chinese?? Chinese Network W≤W≠W≥. ≈81ZW. After these few days of hard work, the layout of the site has basically met Xiao Yao's requirements, and half a day is enough to complete the remaining finishing work.

The press conference will be held in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, so after setting up the scene today, Xiao Yao and the whole team still have one and a half days for practice and rehearsal.

The focus and novelty of this press conference, in addition to the clothing with the Led lighting system, is the cooperation between the models and the complete scene composed of the catwalk floor and the back background wall during the catwalk, so as to show a certain storytelling.

Catwalk models are not actors. In general fashion shows, fashion models are basically expressionless. It is impossible for Xiao Yao to let them learn to act all at once, so that they can show rich facial expressions during the catwalk and eyes. In order to make the press conference show a story, Xiao Yao put his idea on the background, and wanted to show the story through the scenes on the ground and the background wall. This idea actually originated from the performance mode in which the program team made a pair of "fire wings" for him on the big screen behind him when he performed the leap of "The Great Wall" during the Spring Festival Gala to match his leap over Chen Chen.

In order to achieve the ideal storytelling effect, most of these background scenes are not static pictures, but high-definition dynamic pictures or videos, which also requires that the speed of the models' steps must match the playback speed of the dynamic pictures or videos It's good. In a day and a half, it is not a small challenge for the models to train the performance of the catwalk show to be highly consistent with the playback speed of the background scene.

In addition, Xiao Yao prepared four songs as background music, because he divided the seventeen sets of costumes for this press conference into four parts for display, that is to say, there will be four short stories. On average, a story only shows four outfits, that is, only four models and four characters.

For some stories, four characters are enough, for others, the number of characters is too few. Therefore, Xiao Yao also plans to use the projection method to directly project the images of some supporting characters in the story onto the background scene. The position of these projections will also move with the movement of the models during the catwalk, so operating the projector has become a difficult job. As the planner and story writer of the press conference, Xiao Yao is most familiar with the press conference environment and the storyline, so Xiao Yao took over the job without hesitation. Therefore, in addition to handling possible emergencies as the person in charge of the scene, Xiao Yao also has to operate the equipment that controls the projector in the operating room and become an operator.

Holding multiple jobs made Xiao Yao the busiest person during the whole rehearsal period. Fortunately, his brain is much better than others. He has been exercising all the time, his physical fitness is good, his energy is relatively strong, and he can still survive.

After a day and a half of practice and rehearsal, the first fashion show of Yin Xi and Xiao Yao's joint brand was finally held as scheduled.

The fashion show is not an awards ceremony, and there is no red carpet show. However, due to Yin Xi's good publicity work, before the press conference started, a lot of media and fans who came to see their stars gathered outside the studio's press conference.

The celebrity guests present are mainly concentrated in three fields, namely the fashion circle, the film and television circle and the music circle. Among them, star models, designers, fashion magazine editors and others in the fashion circle are mainly Yin Xi's personal connections. Although Xiao Yao is also a fashion photographer, he traveled abroad with Chen Xuan since he was a child. Whether it is his photographic works or his identity as a photographer, he is more popular in foreign fashion and photography circles than in China. The popularity should be high. Yin Xi, on the other hand, slowly moved from domestic to international step by step in a very conventional way. Although these years have become an international supermodel, and the endorsements are all international first-line big names, but in terms of popularity and personal connections in the domestic fashion circle, Yin Xi is still stronger than Xiao Yao, so people in this area are all More people came for Yin Xi's sake.

People in the fashion industry must be more professional when they come to see the press conference, but in terms of popularity and popularity, these models, designers, and editors-in-chief of fashion magazines are definitely not comparable to actors and singers in the entertainment industry. Those fans who gathered outside the venue also came to see these people.

Although Yin Xi has already played the role of a vase in a movie, but when it comes to connections in the film and television industry, Yin Xi is not as good as Xiao Yao, let alone the music circle. Therefore, for the stars in these two aspects, Yin Xi is looking for stars who have a good relationship with Xiao Yao, and they are still contacted and invited through Xiao Yao's agent.

For Xiao Yao's personal brand press conference, all the artists in his own studio were naturally present to support. Both Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying have been famous in their respective circles for more than ten or twenty years. If they go out to invite people, the star guests present at this press conference will probably not be inferior to any well-known domestic awards. ceremony.

However, both Xiao Yao and Yin Xi felt that this was their own brand cloth, and they didn't want to use Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying's signs. Yin Xi is unwilling, and Xiao Yao also does not want to give people the impression that Xiao Yao's personal brand press conference is supported by his parents, so all the celebrities invited have cooperated with Xiao Yao and have a relatively close relationship. Yao could be invited because of his own face, and those celebrities who were not familiar with Xiao Yao but had a good relationship with Xiao Siqi or Ye Jiaying were not on the invitation list.

Even so, the star guest lineup present is already very eye-catching.

In terms of actors, although Xiao Yao has only filmed one TV series and one short film, "Ling Yun Zhi" was a big success at the beginning. Huang Shi, Chen Feng, Su Chengying and others in the crew won awards or nominations for this drama. They are all very good, and now they are the backbone of domestic Mesozoic actors, and they are among the first-line stars. They all said back then that they were able to perform that way because they were stimulated by Xiao Yao, so Xiao Yao wanted to hold a press conference for his personal brand, and they were "stimulated" again to save face.

Not to mention the singers, although Xiao Yao's collaborations are young rookie singers like Gong Chen, Xu Yuan, and Fan Linxuan, but the wonderful performances in several programs also made Chen Huan, Shen Na, Shazhou, Wan Peiling, etc. The mentor-level old-fashioned singer was very impressive, and he also had a relatively good year-end friendship with him, so when Fang Zhan came forward to contact them on behalf of Xiao Yao, they also showed up to support them with dignity.

Coupled with the celebrity artists in his own studio, the three families of Lin Qisan, Zhao Rui, and Zhou Zhihao, and Sun Zhihao and his wife who are close to each other, such a lineup of celebrity guests is enough to attract enough media to report on this press conference up.

After being ushered into the conference venue by the staff at the scene under the spotlights of many reporters, before the conference officially started, the stars who were arranged to sit in the front row gathered together and chatted softly, And the content of the chat was naturally about Xiao Yao who was related to them all.

"Old Xiao, your son is fine, this man's brand has been established." Shen Na smiled and said to Xiao Siqi next to him, "The outfit he helped Chen Yuhan get in "The Voice" made other students wonder I was so envious, I thought he must be good at designing clothes at that time."

"Yeah, and the costumes designed for Gong Chen and Green Apple Girl in "Kudianyin" are also very beautiful." Sha Zhou and Wan Peiling also came over and said, "I don't know what brand he gave himself this time. What kind of clothes have you designed?"

"He didn't design the clothes this time." Xiao Siqi laughed, "This brand is a joint brand between him and Yin Xi. I heard from him that he just provided a patent for a lighting system. For clothing design Yin Xi and his designers are in charge. Actually, I don’t know much about fashion, so I just came here to join in the fun, but we all play music, so we can pay attention to the background music later. He I wrote four new songs for this press conference, I helped record two, and I haven’t heard the other two.”

No matter how Xiao Yao's career develops, Xiao Siqi always cares most about Xiao Yao's performance in music, so when chatting with a few friends in the music industry, he unconsciously brought the topic to music-related aspects.

"What, Xiao Yao wrote four new songs for the press conference as background music?" Shazhou was taken aback, then shook his head and smiled, "He is also really good at writing songs, as if whenever he needs, he can write whatever he wants. Come out with songs. In this regard, I think it is really difficult for anyone to compare with him."

"Who says no?" Xiao Siqi said, "I always think he is lazy. If he hadn't participated in "The Voice", I don't know when his first album will come out. But I found out that last year After that, he wrote a lot of songs, even more songs than I wrote last year, and this also included half a year of his third year in high school. The problem is that he writes songs too casually, and he writes songs for himself later. , I’ll write to someone else later. Last year, I couldn’t make up enough money for his second album, which made me very helpless.”

"Isn't that simple?" Sha Zhou laughed, "Since his first album was made by participating in "The Voice", let him participate in another music show. Doesn't he like to sing new songs on the show? ? Participate in a few episodes of the show, and put together his songs from last year, won't there be a second album?"

"That's a good idea." Xiao Siqi said with bright eyes, "You can think about it carefully. I'll think of a way to get him on another music show."

"I still have to think of a way?" Shazhou wondered.

"Yeah," Xiao Siqi said with a wry smile, "this kid has big ideas. It's not that he will do whatever I tell him to do. The time I participated in "The Voice" was after returning from the United States during the summer vacation of the second year of high school. And he is also very picky about the programs, not all programs are willing to be on. At that time, in addition to "The Voice", I also told him "Happy Boys" from Shonan Satellite TV, and asked him to participate in the audition. You know he What do you tell me? What am I going to do? Be a judge?"

"Ha, your son really has a personality." Shazhou smiled, "In that case, why don't you find him a music program when he can't be free during summer vacation? See, he promised me to participate in that electronic music show." Isn't the show quite refreshing?"

"How can it be that simple?" Xiao Siqi said, "During the winter vacation of the third year of high school, he was so bored that he even postponed the Spring Festival Gala. I promised you to go to that "Cool Electronic Music" to save face for Chinese musicians and fight against Korean groups. Senior three In the summer vacation, he went to the quiz show with the title of champion, then made a short film, and then went to the United States to see his girlfriend. This winter vacation, he went to the Spring Festival Gala, and then he played a photography project, and gave the "Poetry Conference" Taking promotional photos. Who knows what he will play during the summer vacation, maybe he will be filming, but he hasn't filmed a TV series for several years."

On the other side, the few film and television stars surrounding Ye Jiaying were talking about Xiao Yao, and they quickly ran away from this press conference to other places.

"Sister Jiaying, Xiao Yao hasn't acted in a movie for several years, right? He won't wait until he graduates from the Department of Acting for Shen Opera before taking on a movie, right?" Chen Feng asked Ye Jiaying curiously.

"Chen Feng, your news is too ill-informed." Before Ye Jiaying could answer, Huang Shi smiled and said to Chen Feng, "Who said that Xiao Yao hasn't made a movie for a few years? He even made a short film last summer vacation. I still wrote, directed and acted as the leading role, but I didn’t ask you to act.”

"Xiao Yao still works as a director?" Chen Feng really didn't know about it.

"That's right, me, Cheng Xi, Huang Shi, Cheng Ying, and Shao Hua all acted in his short film." Ye Jiaying smiled and nodded.

"This kid is really uninteresting!" Chen Feng immediately said unhappily, "I won't say anything about you, Cheng Xi and Brother Shaohua, but since he even looked for Huang Shi and Chengying, he didn't look for him. Me? Thanks to me taking care of him in the film crew back then."

"Come on," Huang Shi smiled and waved his hands, "Back then he used himself as "Chengying" in the crew and played tricks on us all, but he was only polite and respectful to you. Where? You are the one who takes care of him, obviously he is the one who takes care of you. You should not have your part in this short film."

"Don't listen to Huang Shi," Ye Jiaying explained with a smile, "It's just that he didn't find you in that short film because he didn't have a suitable role for you. In fact, you don't have to envy Huang Shi and Chengying, you know that they played roles in the short film. What role is it? Especially Huang Shi, let me tell you quietly..."

"By the way, Sister Jiaying," Huang Shi hurriedly interrupted, "What's the situation with Xiao Yao's short film? Didn't you say that it was short of post-production? It's been almost half a year, why haven't we seen any movement?" What? Didn’t he forget it?”

"He didn't forget, and it's not that there was no movement, but he was waiting for big news." Ye Jiaying said, "He sent the short film to the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival for selection, and was shortlisted for the international competition unit. He plans to Let the short film appear at the film festival first, no matter whether it wins an award or not, the short film will be released publicly after the film festival is over."

"Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival? Short film Cannes?" Huang Shi was surprised, "This is his first short film, so he was shortlisted? This little guy is too awesome!"

"Now, if you tell Chen Feng what Chengying and I acted in the short film, he will be envious." Huang Shi went on to laugh, "None of our previous film and television works have appeared in France yet. However, we are all going international one step ahead of him.”

"Short film Cannes?" Chen Feng was also surprised, and then he raised his head and looked around, "By the way, where is Xiao Yao? Why didn't you see him as the master in this press conference?"

"There's no need to look for it." Ye Jiaying said, "He's working behind the scenes today, and you won't be able to see him until the press conference is over."

Just as Ye Jiaying was talking, the lights on the scene dimmed suddenly, and the audience gradually became quiet. Then, Xiao Yao's voice came out from the stereo: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for coming to this brand press conference! The press conference starts now!"
