Entertaining Children

For the next half month, Xiao Yao's spare time was basically occupied by the rehearsal of the band and the rehearsal of the hip-hop team. In order not to delay any of them, Xiao Yao simply quit his part-time job at the "buy more" supermarket. He himself is not short of money, and he went to work part-time in a supermarket just to experience the life of an ordinary high school student in the United States. He has been working part-time in a supermarket for more than three months, and he has basically had enough experience.

Time has entered the last month of the year. In addition to the rehearsals of the band and street dance team, Xiao Yao also ushered in another new experience opportunity. "teenagevigntes" was released in early December. As the creator of the movie's theme song and a performing band, imrtals received an invitation to the movie's premiere.

If there are two very successful actors in the family, there should be quite a lot of opportunities for Xiao Yao to participate in the film premiere. It is not that Xiao Chengru and Ye Jiaying did not propose to bring Xiao Yao to attend together, and provided Xiao Yao with the opportunity to "scroll" the red carpet of the movie premiere. It's just that Xiao Yao was still young at that time, and he was very unimpressed with this kind of opportunity to "sneak" on the red carpet, and never agreed to it. Therefore, the second-generation star from his acting family has never attended the premiere of any movie.

Of course, the film premiere in the United States is still somewhat different from that in China. At the very least, although a large number of media and celebrities participated in the premiere, there was no procedure of walking the red carpet before entering the theater where the premiere was held.

Even if there is no procedure for walking the red carpet, being able to participate in the premiere of a commercial film and sit in the front row as a creator is a rare privilege not only for Xiao Yao, but also for other members of the band experience.

So, the five members of the band all dressed up and drove to Los Angeles for an unforgettable premiere trip.

Xiao Yao also saw the style of American movie premieres. There is no red carpet, no performances, only the main creators of the film welcome various media, film critics and a group of celebrity friends who come to join the show at the entrance of the theater for the premiere. After the film screening, there was no host, no interviews, but the director and several core members of the crew took the microphone to the stage to thank the audience, and briefly talked about the mental journey of filming the film. Even if the ceremony is over.

The imrtals band is only the creator of the theme song, so they are naturally not the core members of the movie crew, so they just watched a movie for free and met many big stars who can only be seen on entertainment news. Shi basically didn't have anything to do with them.

However, Xiao Yao was very satisfied with this kind of premiere. It is also a great honor to be able to enjoy this movie in which I have participated in advance before most people.

During the premiere, unlike most of the band members who focused on the stars who came to support him, Xiao Yao basically focused on the movie. Although the original film had been watched long before the soundtrack was completed, it was the first time for Xiao Yao to watch the finished product after the soundtrack. In Xiao Yao's personal opinion, music is the soul of a movie. In Xiao Yao's view, the original film without soundtrack was a work lacking soul. Now that the soul has been injected, Xiao Yao naturally wants to feel it again.

Due to the fact that he has seen the original film without soundtrack, Xiao Yao, who is already familiar with the plot, put most of his attention on the soundtrack of the movie. Among the soundtrack of the whole movie, what Xiao Yao cares most about must be The location where their theme song appeared.

Movies generally do not have an opening song, and the theme song usually appears at the end of the movie when the subtitles of the names of the cast and crew are played, which is the ending song in the usual sense. But in addition to the ending part, the theme songs of many movies will also appear in conjunction with the plot when the movie is played.

This movie is the latter case. This song "imrtals" appeared in the plot when the juvenile vigilante team was reorganized. Here is the turning point of the whole movie from low tide to high tide,

Then it's time to prepare for the final battle. Therefore, this place is the most relaxing time for the audience to watch the movie. Coupled with the brain-opening, interesting and cool equipment that the young vigilantes in the play have created after they reunite, the audience is in a very good mood. It's easy to be happy, sunny, and hopeful together with this plot and this song.

In such a plot, the theme song of the whole movie is used as the soundtrack, which is perfect. Xiao Yao instantly gave thirty-two likes to film composer Ron Distin in his heart.

In addition to Xiao Yao, Danny Gray, the director of the film, and Duran Waco, one of the producers, also paid special attention to this episode of the film. But what they care about is not whether the plot on the screen matches the theme song, which they have already determined. They are very concerned about the expressions of those media and film critics at this time. Because their evaluation of this theme song will be directly related to the focus of the second wave of publicity after the movie is released.

Seeing the smiles on the faces of the media and film critics at this time, and even a few of them shaking their bodies slightly following the theme song in the movie, Danny Gray and Duran Vaco glanced at each other, It seems to be saying through the eyes: "Now, we really want to focus on promoting this student band."

Although he made this psychological preparation, the director Danny Gray did not act immediately, so he did not mention the Imrtals band in his speech and thank you speech after the premiere. Just make a basic judgment from the expressions of the media and film critics, in order to prepare in advance. But before the film reviews of various media are published, they will not take action rashly.

On the second day after the premiere, the film review columns of various entertainment media and professional media published the film reviews of the animated film "teen age vigntes" which premiered the night before.

"The quality of the movie is excellent. The picture is well-produced. Although the plot and themes are old-fashioned, the details are full of new ideas and imagination. It is a rare animation work this year. Given that it is already December, it can even be said that One of the best animated feature films of the year."

Xiao Yao finished reading a film review about "Teenage Vigntes" on the film page of the "Los Angeles Times", threw it aside casually, and started to read the next newspaper.

At the same time, Danny Gray and Duran Waco were also flipping through newspapers in Duran's office. I looked through three or four newspaper movie reviews, and although they all had good reviews of the movie, none of them mentioned the theme song in the movie.

"Why not?" Duran Vaco muttered, and randomly suggested to Danny Gray: "Why don't we pay someone to write a movie review about the movie's theme song?"

"It's a big taboo to spend money to buy film reviews. If it is exposed, the loss outweighs the gain for our film." Danny Gray shook his head and said, "Although that student band is indeed a good point of publicity, I would rather Just put their information on the official website, and publicize it more routinely, so as to discount the effect a little bit, and don’t want our movie to be stained. Let’s take a look.”

"Ha! Got it!" Xiao Yao read while holding a copy of the movie version of the "Los Angeles Express": "The theme of the movie is relatively old-fashioned, basically it is a teenage cartoon version of a superhero movie, but there are many bright spots in the details. The form of animation allows screenwriters to give full play to their imagination without the limitation of prop production. All kinds of strange and eccentric equipment in the movie are novel and interesting, and the fighting scenes and methods are also very special, which makes people fully feel the protagonists of the movie. The vitality of young people. When it comes to the vitality of young people, the theme song of the movie is also a very energetic song, the tune and lyrics are very good, and it fits perfectly with the theme of the movie."

"Yan, what are you doing?" At this moment, knocking on the door and Dean's voice came from outside Xiao Yao's door.

"Come in." Xiao Yao called out.

"What's wrong with you today?" Dean looked at Xiao Yao's newspaper and said, "After watching the premiere last night, he said that the band would not rehearse today. I thought you were going to the hip-hop dancer, who? Knowing that you went out early in the morning to buy a bunch of newspapers, you locked yourself in the room when you came back. Is there any big news in the newspaper today?"

"Look at this." Xiao Yao handed the newspaper to Dean, and said with a smile, "The Oscar stage is one step closer to us."

"The "Los Angeles Express" Entertainment Edition film review column, columnist, reporter, and film critic Eliza Pritz..." Dean took the newspaper from Xiao Yao and read.

Editorial Office of the Los Angeles Express.

Elisa Pritz, who had just finished a manuscript, stretched, picked up the coffee cup on the table, and was about to go to the tea room to pour a cup of coffee. As soon as he stood up, the phone on the desk rang.

Elisa Prietz smiled wryly, picked up the microphone and put it to her ear and said, "Hello, the editorial department of "Los Angeles Express", I am Elisa Prietz."

"Hi, Ms. Pritz, I'm Duran Vaco, one of the producers of "teenagevigntes", first of all thank you for your pertinent evaluation of our movie." A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone sound.

"You're welcome, Mr. Waco, I just expressed my true feelings." Elisa Pritz smiled.

"I read your movie review and saw that you mentioned the theme song of this movie," Duran Waco explained directly, "Actually, the singer of the theme song of our movie has a special identity. I wonder if you are interested in it." learn?"

Hearing Duran Waco's words, Eliza Pritz immediately understood that the film producer wanted to report on the singer of the movie's theme song by herself, and helped the movie with the second wave of publicity. For her, it is not impossible to do this. After all, the quality of this movie is really good, and it is normal to publish some related reports in the future, but the premise is that the content of the report is really about herself and what she thinks the audience content they will be interested in. She is not a voluntary propagandist for a movie, she only serves movie audiences.

"Oh, although the theme song of this movie is indeed very good, it hasn't reached the level of Oscar's best original song. I don't know what's so special about this singer?" Elisa Pritz asked with a smile . What this sentence means is that this song is indeed good, but it is only good. It has not reached the level of Oscar's best original song, that is, it has not yet reached the level of writing a report for this song.

"Of course I know that this song is not yet at the level of the hall, but I think it is worth reporting considering the identity of the singer and creator." Duran laughed on the phone.

"How special?" Eliza asked. At the same time, the first reaction in my heart is to guess whether the singer and creator are disabled.

"The singer of this song is a middle school student band." Dulan introduced, "There are five members in the band, one is eighteen years old and four are seventeen years old. All of them are students in a middle school. This song is Their own original work. I heard that it seems to be their first original work.”

"What? A middle school student? How is that possible?" Elisa Pritz asked in surprise.

"Do you think it's worth reporting now?" Duran Vaco laughed.

"Of course! If it was a band like Daydream, I would think it would be normal, but if it's really a band of middle school kids who are still in school, it's kind of unbelievable." (To be continued.)
