Entertaining Children

It was already March when Xiao Yao came back from promoting parkour movies overseas. At this time, all colleges and universities have started, and the last semester of Xiao Yao's undergraduate degree has also begun.

For the acting students, there are two main tasks in the second semester of senior year: one is to rehearse the graduation drama, and the other is to defend the graduation thesis. If you go out to film, if the time does not allow, you can even ask for leave and not participate in the graduation drama, but you must participate in the graduation thesis defense.

However, it takes less than one semester to arrange a graduation drama, and writing a graduation thesis is also a long-term process. After Xiao Yao came back, he didn't immerse himself in the school to do these two things. Instead, he and Lin Qisan pulled a group of people out of the school to start planning new projects.

Film and television colleges are different from ordinary colleges and universities, and practice occupies a large proportion. Ordinary colleges and universities usually have time and arrangements for internships only in their senior year, but for film and television colleges, especially students in the acting department, they basically start from their junior year.

Acting is a subject that is very practical. It is very important for the students of the acting department to get in touch with the actual crew as soon as possible and accumulate more experience.

Whether it is purely for the purpose of being an actor or for the purpose of becoming a star, almost no one who studies acting will refuse to become famous and be known by the audience. For things like becoming famous, of course, the sooner the better. If you can become famous while you are a student, your future acting career will undoubtedly be much easier, so many students are also very keen to fight for the opportunity to "intern" in the crew during their school days.

For acting students in some schools, only the freshman has stayed in the school for a year, and they have been looking for various opportunities to enter the film crew for "internship" since their sophomore year. Yandian, Shenxi and other well-known film and television academies that value the foundation of students have stipulated that acting students are not allowed to go out to film in the first and second year, but in the third and fourth years, there is no such restriction.

Within the time allowed by the school, many film and television school teachers have no objection to students going out to film more. Many of the teachers in the film and television school are also people in the entertainment industry. If given the opportunity, they would even recommend their students to the crew. However, this kind of situation is relatively rare, and more often, it is still up to the students to find and fight for it.

Currently in Shenxi, the most popular and famous star student must be Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao is not the only star student in Shenxi. In addition to Lin Qisan and Nina Aiyiguli, there are also some students who also played roles in some film and television dramas during their college years and became well-known star actors.

In the entertainment circle, it's not that the higher the professional level and the better the acting skills, the more popular the actor is, the easier it is to get a role and find a job. The same is true for students who are still in school. It doesn't mean that the better the academic performance, the better the acting skills are, the easier it is for students to get roles and get the opportunity to join the group for internships. In addition to your own business capabilities, background, resources, and even luck all have a lot to do with it.

Among the students of Shenxi this year,

Apart from Lin Qisan, his best friend, and his girlfriend, Nina Aiyiguli, Xiao Yao's best classmates are Qin Hao and Xu Liang. In addition, class monitor Wang Zhi and Tang Xiaoling among the girls also have a good relationship with Xiao Yao.

Qin Hao and Xu Liang's family conditions are relatively well-off, and their lives are worry-free, but their families are not considered wealthy, and they don't have any connections in the entertainment industry. The relationship between the two of them and Xiao Yao has been good in the past few years, but they have never asked Xiao Yao for help, asking Xiao Yao to help them recommend or win roles in some crews, just relying on the fact that he has won some small roles in some crews. The characters, in the entertainment circle, are still purely two little transparent.

These two former roommates are Xiao Yao's best classmates in the class. When they asked for leave and missed classes in the past two years, they mainly helped Xiao Yao record classes and make up classes. Two help. Although the two have never troubled Xiao Yao because of work matters in the past few years, Xiao Yao is still very concerned about their career development.

Xiao Yao never used his personal connections and resources to help the two get any roles. In the first two years, it was because of the school's regulations, and their grades were not as good as Xiao Yao's. Going out to film too early was not necessarily a good thing for them. In my junior year, it was because I was too busy, they never came to look for me, and I didn't take care of it. In the last semester, it was because Xiao Yao felt that instead of recommending them to other film crews, it was better to start a project for them by himself. This is also the reason why Xiao Yao discussed with Lin Qisan, Zhao Rui and others last year to start a film and television production company.

When it comes to starting a film and television production company, what was discussed last year was to be a partnership with five small partners from that year. This time, the five young people are still planning to put aside their elders and use their own money to invest in the establishment of this company. However, except for Xiao Yao, the money on hand of the other four people has basically been invested in the parkour movie, and the real registration and establishment of the company will have to wait until the parkour movie's box office revenue is divided into the account.

However, it is not yet time to establish a company, and some preparatory work can still be carried out in advance. For example, look for candidates for the company's administrative, financial, and legal departments in advance, such as looking for actors and behind-the-scenes staff for the company's first TV drama project in advance.

Lin Qisan started to do these things more than half a year ago, and he already had a list of candidates for many positions.

In terms of film and television, there are two systems, the director-centered system and the director-centered system, each with its own emphasis. As far as Huaxia is concerned, most of the movies are based on the director-centered system, and most of the TV dramas are based on the producer-centered system. This time Xiao Yao and others wanted to make a TV series, and they paid for it to find someone to make it, rather than the director asking them for investment with the script, so it is basically a producer-centered system. However, Xiao Yao cast this TV series to give students a chance to show their talents, and did not intend to intervene too much in the creative process.

Filming a TV series is a long process with a lot of work to do. First of all, the first item is to have a script.

Fresh graduates are lacking in experience. When it comes time to shoot, Xiao Yao still plans to invite some experienced veterans in the industry to help in the form of consultants. However, in the previous stage of script creation, Xiao Yao did not I plan to invite some well-known screenwriters or directors to participate, but I plan to convene students from the Department of Directing and Literature of the Shen Opera Department for collective creation.

Although the company has not yet been established and the funds are not in place, there is no problem in writing scripts in advance. Xiao Yao said that he would start a project to write a script, and Lin Qisan immediately brought out the list he was looking for.

In terms of actors, Lin Qi has two criteria for selecting candidates, one is professional level, that is, as good as possible in acting skills, and the other is not famous, try not to be famous in the entertainment industry. In terms of directors and screenwriters, it is rare for them to become famous when they were students. Lin Qisan basically chooses those with good grades and talents.

With Xiao Yao and Lin Qisan's current fame and their influence among the students applying for opera, it is not a problem to call a group of fresh graduates from the Department of Literature and the Department of Directing to write scripts first.

Based on the box office of that animated movie, those students are not afraid that they will end up working for Xiao Yaobai and not getting paid. There are even some students who feel that as long as the scripts they write can be turned into TV dramas and appear on TV, they are willing to have no remuneration. After all, they are all students who have not yet graduated, and what they lack most is fame. As long as one's name can appear under a certain screenwriting item on TV, the benefits to oneself are much greater than the little remuneration for writing the script.

Xiao Yao does not intend to intervene too much in the creative process, nor does he completely ignore it. In the stage of script creation, Xiao Yao will not care about the specific plots, but he still needs to explain clearly to the directors and screenwriters about the conditions and restrictions related to script creation, such as the type, theme, and production budget of the TV series, so that they can work together in this way. In a general framework, I will use my talents to carry out specific creations.

As the chief planner and chief producer of this TV series, Xiao Yao will of course review the scripts of each episode, but there is still some time before the establishment of the company and the formation of the crew, and Xiao Yao also plans to follow the example of American dramas. The method of filming and broadcasting, so these directors and screenwriters did not urge these directors and screenwriters to write all the scripts of the first season of this TV series as soon as possible, but left enough time for them to create slowly.

After returning to Huaxia, Xiao Yao called those directors and screenwriters to a large conference room in his personal studio for a few days of meetings, brainstorming for a period of time, and saw that these people's creations were on the right track. Slowly let go of it.

After Xiao Yao was busy with the formation of the screenwriting team and the guidance of the early script creation, the time was approaching for the "Golden Dragon Award" award ceremony.

The outside world generally believes that it is a sure thing for "Wall-E" to win this year's "Golden Dragon Award" for Best Animated Feature Film, but on the red carpet of this year's "Golden Dragon Award", the media and fans on the sidelines were surprised to find that the red Xiao Yao did not appear on the blanket show.

Even as a guest performer at the award ceremony, he can walk on the red carpet, not to mention that Xiao Yao was originally a relevant person who was nominated for the work. Such a discovery also surprised the media and fans.

"Why didn't you see Xiao Yao? Did he miss the "Golden Dragon Award" award ceremony this year?"

"That's right! Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying have passed, and Sun Tingting, who was a guest performer, has also passed. Now there is no Xiao Yao in the crew of "Wall-E". Could it be true that he didn't come?"

"It probably didn't come! No wonder Sun Tingting is the only guest performer. If Xiao Yao came, he should be performing with Sun Tingting."

"But why didn't he come? Isn't his overseas movie promotion over?"

"I heard that he came back from Europe almost a week ago, and he is already in his senior year. School is no longer the reason for his absence. Is he doing something?"

"I didn't hear that he joined some other crew to film recently!"

During the red carpet show, many off-site reporters had already started talking about it.

To answer this question, the best way is to ask Tong Luo, He Ying, Huang Shi of the "Wall-E" crew, and Ye Jiaying and Xiao Siqi who attended as guests. However, during the stage of the red carpet show, these outside reporters are basically photographers, who can only shoot, and it is impossible to call those guests over to ask questions. The only one who could interview guests on the red carpet was the outfield host, and the outfield host obviously knew in advance that Xiao Yao would be absent, so he didn't ask Tong Luo and others why Xiao Yao didn't come. They can only keep this question in their hearts.

It wasn't until the "Golden Dragon Awards" award ceremony gave out the award for the best animated feature film, and when Tong Luo came to the stage alone to accept the award and gave a speech, the media reporters at the scene learned the reason for Xiao Yao's absence. As the most important creator of the animated film "WALL-E", Xiao Yao is the best candidate to receive this award. Regarding his absence, Tong Luo, who received the award, not only revealed Xiao Yao's whereabouts in his acceptance speech, explained the reason for Xiao Yao's absence, but also gave a thank you speech on Xiao Yao's behalf.

It turned out that the reason why Xiao Yao was absent from the "Golden Dragon Award" award ceremony was because Xiao Yao went to the United States again. This time he went to the United States not because of any performing arts work, but was appointed by the United Nations Environment Program as a goodwill ambassador of the United Nations Environment Program and was invited to New York to participate in the World Youth Forum held by the United Nations.

Xiao Yao was appointed as a goodwill ambassador by the United Nations Environment Program and was invited to attend the World Youth Forum, which is a manifestation of Xiao Yao's personal studio ability. Because his candidate was recommended to the headquarters by the staff of the United Nations Environment Program's representative office in China. The United Nations Environment Program Office in China will recommend Xiao Yao. In addition to Xiao Yao himself being very suitable, the various work efforts in his personal studio are also indispensable.

However, Xiao Yao was able to be appointed as a goodwill ambassador by the United Nations Environment Program and was invited to attend the World Youth Forum, because of the animated film "Wall-E" last year.

The United Nations Environment Program has received many recommendations, and it is not uncommon for someone with a more suitable personal image and reputation than Xiao Yao. The reason why they chose Xiao Yao was because of the connection between Xiao Yao himself and environmental protection. The movie "Wall-E" has the theme of environmental protection, and it has achieved outstanding results at the global box office and has a great influence. As the main creator of the film, Xiao Yao is not only concerned about environmental protection in the eyes of the UNEP, but also someone who has made concrete actions and made great contributions to environmental protection. This is much stronger than other candidates, and it is only natural to choose him.

Environmental protection is also a very important topic at this year's World Youth Forum. Xiao Yao is a very young star with a certain reputation in the world and a very sunny and healthy image. An animated film with a global box office of more than one billion US dollars is also a remarkable achievement, enough to become an excellent representative of the world's youth. Since Xiao Yao was chosen as the ambassador of the Link Planning Department, it was logical to invite him to participate in the World Youth Forum and give a speech.

In fact, Xiao Yao and his team knew about this news a long time ago. However, Xiao Yao didn't say it on his personal Weibo, nor did he let the studio's official Weibo announce the news in advance, but left it to Tong Luo to announce it for him when he accepted the award at the award ceremony. Xiao Yao felt that if he used his own account to announce it suddenly, there was a sense of showing off in it, which was very boring, and it was more natural to say it as a reason for his absence from the awards ceremony. After all, this is a fact, and it is indeed the real reason for my absence from the awards ceremony.

It's not that there are no Chinese who have served as goodwill ambassadors for the United Nations. Even in the entertainment industry, there are many celebrities who serve as goodwill ambassadors for several organizations of the United Nations. Not to mention other organizations such as UNICEF, but the goodwill ambassadors of the Environment Programme, and before Xiao Yao, there were two other Chinese artists serving as ambassadors.

However, there is no other person in the world who can serve as a goodwill ambassador for an organization at the level of the United Nations at the age of 22, let alone a Chinese. This means that Xiao Yao, a Chinese star, will become the youngest UN goodwill ambassador in the world, which is still very remarkable.

As soon as Tong Luo uttered this explanation, the media reporters, guests, and audience at the scene were all taken aback, and then a burst of applause and cheers erupted at the scene.
