Entertaining Children

After the second rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, someone on the Internet exposed the program list for this year's Spring Festival Gala. After the playlist was exposed, there were also some discussions on the playlist on the Internet.

Among netizens' discussions on this year's Spring Festival Gala program list, Xiao Yao is the most discussed.

In this program list, Xiao Yao's name did not directly appear. The performer of the instrumental music performance "Celebration" was signed "Secret Garden", and the signature behind Liang Xueying's song and dance performance was except for the singer Liang Xueying , and the name "YRF" also appeared. These two groups have been very popular in the past few months. As long as netizens pay a little attention to the entertainment news in the past six months, they will find that Xiao Yao will make two appearances in this year's Spring Festival Gala.

There are very, very few artists who appeared twice in the same Spring Festival Gala. In the past 20 years, only He Ying once appeared a few years ago. Although Xiao Yao's two shows are not performed by a single person, and there is cooperation with other people, but unlike He Ying, these two groups are already existing teams, participating in the show as a whole, Instead of a program like He Ying's that seems to be arranged by the director team of the Spring Festival Gala, it still feels very different.

This is not the first time Xiao Yao has attended the Spring Festival Gala. In terms of his development over the years, it is not surprising that he attends the Spring Festival Gala every year. However, at the age of early twenties, being able to appear twice on such an important occasion as the Spring Festival Gala still aroused the curiosity of many netizens. After the list of the Spring Festival Gala was exposed, there were also many speculations on the Internet.

When He Ying had two programs on the Spring Festival Gala, after the schedule of the Spring Festival Gala was revealed, there were speculations and discussions on the Internet.

At that time, some netizens gave "background theory". Some media have dug up and reported on He Ying's family background, saying that He Ying's grandfather was a military general with great achievements in the founding of the country and had a strong background in the military. In order to go smoothly in the entertainment circle. It appeared twice in one Spring Festival Gala, which also caused many people to rediscover these reports about her family background. It seems that the program list of the Spring Festival Gala that year proved this point.

Compared with He Ying, Xiao Yao's family background is much more transparent. Grandpa and stepmother are actors, his father is a singer, his biological mother is a model and an orphan, and the grandparents on the stepmother's side are ordinary intellectuals. No one in Xiao Yao's family is in the army or politics. The most influential grandpa He is just a performance artist, and he certainly can't reach the level where CCTV arranges him to appear on two shows alone. There is no way to talk about the background, so some sunspots and conspiracy theorists began to talk about things with money.

As a star who became famous at a young age, the public knows that Xiao Yao should not be short of money, not to mention that the media once revealed that Xiao Yao has a musical instrument company in the United States, a personal brand in China, and inherited the shares of his biological mother's model company . Owning shares in three companies can certainly be considered very rich for ordinary people, but it is nothing too special for celebrities. After all, stars now have side jobs,

There are a lot of people who start a company to do business, but the general people have no way of knowing how the operation is going, whether it is making a profit or losing money. Xiao Yao's real envy is his animated movie this year.

The general media and the public have no way of knowing the income of "Wall-E" in terms of copyright, but only from the box office, the media and the public know that Xiao Yao has made a lot of money this time. At the end of July last year in the Gregorian calendar, the Chinese box office of this animated film came out. The total box office is more than 2 billion, and the producers can get about 700 million. Anyone can calculate this account. Tong Luo revealed that Xiao Yao accounted for the majority of the investment in this animation film, so Xiao Yao's personal income was at least 400 million.

It took Xiao Yao two years to invest nearly 100 million yuan, and he also had to pay taxes. These are easy for some people to selectively ignore. When they are stimulated by the figure of 400 million, their thoughts are all on this Yes, that's how some of the "forced donation" remarks on the Internet came out at that time.

A few months later, "Wall-E" was released overseas, and the overseas box office came again. After a one-month release period, "Wall-E" has won a total of nearly 400 million US dollars in box office overseas. Among them, nearly 200 million U.S. dollars in North America broke the box office record of Chinese-language movies in North America.

Although it was a martial arts movie nearly 20 years ago that held the box office record for Chinese-language movies in North America, that movie is still higher if inflation is taken into account. In addition, "Wall-E" originally had two dubbed versions in Chinese and English. The English version released overseas may not necessarily be regarded as a Chinese film, but at least in terms of superficial figures, "Wall-E" is still the highest-grossing Chinese film in North America.

However, overseas box office revenue is not so easy to calculate. Just like the foreign films imported by Huaxia have two forms of buyout and account split, Huaxia's movies are released overseas, and there are also two forms of buyout and box office split. Due to the secrecy of both the producer of "WALL-E" and Disney, ordinary media reporters have not dug out whether "WALL-E" is bought out or split overseas, but whether it is a buyout or split, the producer must have another Additional income is certain, it's just a matter of how much. Judging from Xiao Yao's behavior of flying abroad for publicity, it is more likely that the outside world will use the form of account sharing.

The overseas box office statistics of "Wall-E" came out in early December. At this time, Xiao Yao's "Thousand Qin Project" also officially appeared and started.

As Xiao Yao expected, after the public welfare project was unveiled, there were also many debates and doubts about his approach on the Internet.

Some people think that there are still many children in impoverished areas who can’t afford to go to school or have enough to eat. Xiao Yao’s public welfare does not care about those children in impoverished areas. Instead, he puts pianos everywhere on the streets of big cities, which is completely flashy. Grandstanding.

Since this period of time is the day when Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting's "Secret Garden" combination releases a new album and does promotion, some people associate Xiao Yao's piano project with their group's promotion, thinking that this is their promotion Strategy.

Of course, there are also people who support Xiao Yao's approach. Anyway, Xiao Yao is doing charity work. It is their own freedom to spend their own money however they want. Moreover, placing pianos in public areas in these big cities for free use by the public is also a good thing to improve the image of the city and the quality of citizens. Even if Xiao Yao's plan is really to promote his new combination with Sun Tingting, it is really spending money and bringing benefits to the citizens. It is not flashy, and naturally it is not sensational.

Speaking of spending money, some netizens helped Xiao Yao's plan to settle accounts.

The piano is a very expensive musical instrument. Although Xiao Yao puts upright pianos that occupy a small area and are much cheaper than grand pianos, an upright piano is also very valuable. They all look like 20,000 to 30,000. Putting a total of more than a thousand upright pianos on the streets of dozens of big cities across the country at once is an investment of 20 to 30 million yuan, which can definitely be regarded as a big deal.

Such a large investment, if it is put in other publicity methods, its publicity effect will definitely be much more effective than this public welfare activity, not to mention that this public welfare project is carried out under Xiao Yao's personal name, not theirs. The "Secret Garden" combination, which did not mention the name of this combination. Many netizens also used this point to refute some people's claims that Xiao Yao used public welfare activities to promote the group.

Since such a generous public welfare action is Xiao Yao's personal behavior and has nothing to do with the group, many people think of Xiao Yao's own animation movie again. This proves that Xiao Yao earned enough money from the animated movie "Wall-E".

When Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting were promoting the group's new album together, they were asked this question many times. However, at that time Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting were active as a group, and they didn't respond much to their personal problems.

He has been asked a lot, and Xiao Yao has answered it several times, but his attitude is not good.

""WALL-E" has made money, but the exact amount of money earned is my personal privacy. As a citizen, I pay taxes according to the regulations, and I have no obligation to account to anyone other than the national taxation department."

"It's my choice to do public welfare activities, and it's also my choice how I do it. I can play the piano, and I am willing to let more people have the opportunity to play the piano. What's the problem? There are indeed many poor areas in our country, but my job is not Poverty alleviation. Is charity voluntary or compulsory?”

When such an awkward answer comes out, it often leaves the questioning reporter or host speechless. Over time, these things gradually fade away.

And after the program list of the Spring Festival Gala came out, these things were rediscovered again, saying that Xiao Yao, who was "not short of money", was able to have two shows in the Spring Festival Gala, and he also spent money to pile it up.

As far as the level of CCTV is concerned, the idea of ​​spending money on programs certainly cannot stand up to scrutiny, but this world is always full of conspiracy theorists and pink eyes. As Xiao Yao became more and more famous and achieved more and more achievements, there were more and more sunspots of this kind. But on the whole, such people only occupy a very small proportion. Based on Xiao Yao's achievements over the past year, the vast majority of viewers still think that there is nothing wrong with Xiao Yao being able to make two appearances in the Spring Festival Gala.

People in Xiao Yao's team naturally saw these Heizi's remarks. In the past, Xiao Yao would automatically filter and ignore it, and ignore it. Regardless of whether he ignored it, Fang still has a lot of things to do and is very busy. As long as it is not too much and Xiao Yao did not mention it, Fang is still generally lazy. care about. But it's different now, Xiao Yao has set up a personal studio, and there are special people in charge of such things. It’s fine if ordinary netizens just say a few nonsense, as long as a certified public account marketing account makes such remarks, Xiao Yao’s personal studio will always send a lawyer’s letter to serve.

Of course, the legal department of the personal studio is responsible for these matters, Xiao Yao himself still ignores them, and just needs to concentrate on his work. Therefore, during this period of time, Xiao Yao was not affected, and with a very stable and peaceful attitude, he ushered in his second Spring Festival Gala.

Xiao Yao's temperament is relatively calm, and it is the second time to attend the Spring Festival Gala, so he doesn't feel any nervousness in his heart. Sun Tingting, Zhao Rui, Xu Fei and the other parkour team with him were attending the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, so they were inevitably a little nervous.

Fortunately, Sun Tingting, Zhao Rui, and Xu Fei have all experienced big scenes. Even if it is inevitable to be nervous, the degree of nervousness is limited, and they will not make any major mistakes on the court. Although the performance experience of the parkour team was poor, their performance was in the form of movements. After they were proficient in contact and formed their body's muscle memory, they would naturally forget their nervousness as soon as they ran. Judging from the results of the two rehearsals, the performance of these people is still very good.

New Year's Eve, the day when the Spring Festival Gala will be broadcast live. The actors and crew basically arrived at CCTV in the afternoon, preparing for the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala in the evening.

The treatment on the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala is better than that during the program review. It is no longer that all actors of a program type share a lounge, but the number of lounges is limited, and some actors of different programs need to share the lounge in the backstage.

Since Xiao Yao will participate in two programs, the director team also arranged the actors of the two programs in the same lounge. Relatively speaking, Xiao Yao should be more at ease with Sun Tingting, Zhao Rui, and Xu Fei. Liang Xueying, who has participated in the Spring Festival Gala several times, does not need to worry about Xiao Yao. Therefore, during the waiting time, Xiao Yao spent most of the time running with that team. The members of the cool team were chatting, using the little knowledge of psychology they had learned to do their best to provide them with psychological counseling and relieve their tension.

Like the Spring Festival Gala, the program "Straight to the Spring Festival Gala" is also a routine before the Spring Festival Gala every year. At around 7:00 p.m., the door of the lounge where Xiao Yao and the others were staying was pushed open, and the interview team of "Straight to the Spring Festival Gala" came in for an interview.

The interviewers of "Straight to the Spring Festival Gala" mainly interviewed Xiao Yao, Sun Tingting and Liang Xueying. Zhao Rui and Xu Fei also briefly said a few words, and the others were ignored by the interviewers. However, because Xiao Yao, who was interviewed last by the reporter, took the initiative to introduce the parkour team during the interview, the parkour team also took the opportunity to say hello to the audience in front of the camera and show their faces.

The interview of "Straight to the Spring Festival Gala" this time was not like the sudden appearance of Su Xiao like when Xiao Yao participated in the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. The interview reporters followed the script in advance, so the interview time was not long. After a while, the interview team completed the task, took their leave and left.

Although the ratings of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala have always been invincible, but with more and more entertainment activities and more and more complaints about the CCTV Spring Festival Gala every year, its ratings are actually declining year by year. The CCTV Spring Festival Gala has become more of a New Year's habit for people. In terms of habits, middle-aged and elderly people have always maintained better, that is to say, young people watch CCTV Spring Festival Gala less and less.

Young people are watching the CCTV Spring Festival Gala less and less, so of course not many young people watch the warm-up program "Straight to the Spring Festival Gala" before the Spring Festival Gala. Most of the people who watch this warm-up program are middle-aged and elderly people who live at home. This group of people is the one who attaches the most importance to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and it happens to be the group with the highest proportion of people who do not know that Xiao Yao is a member of the two teams of "Secret Garden" and "YRF", and most of them have not learned about it in advance on the Internet. A crowd for the repertoire.

Hearing from the reporter that Xiao Yao, a young man, is actually going to perform two shows in this year's Spring Festival Gala, the crowd also became very interested in him, secretly paying attention to how Xiao Yao's show in the Spring Festival Gala will be. Through this warm-up program, Xiao Yao also attracted another wave of people's attention.

Before the start of the Spring Festival Gala, Xiao Yao was the one who received the most attention and anticipation among all the participating stars. In this year's Spring Festival Gala, the performance of Xiao Yao and the two teams was also enough to deserve the audience's attention and expectations for him.
