Entertaining Children

Guo Qi is an athlete, not a singer. Of course, it is impossible to listen to the ridicule of those netizens and really go to Xiao Yao to help him or the men's basketball players write songs. This time it was the women's basketball players who posted promotional photos, promotional songs and videos, which had nothing to do with him as a male basketball player. He posted that Weibo because he is also a basketball player, and he is familiar with Chen Nuo and Xiao Yao. While everyone on the Internet was discussing the promotional photos Xiao Yao took for the women's basketball players, he ran out to join in the fun, " Rub the heat." That's all.

Even Guo Qi, a male basketball player, couldn't help but come out to "get the heat", which also shows the topicality caused by the women's basketball promotional photos this time. Of course, Guo Qi is not the only star who borrowed this incident to "get the heat".

From the release of promotional photos, to the release of videos and songs, the promotion of the women's basketball players going to the World Championships runs through it all the time. Under the background of discussion on the whole network, this matter quickly became the hottest topic on the Internet recently. The women's basketball team going to the World Championships is a good thing to win glory for the country. There is no controversy. Many celebrities from all walks of life also came out to join in the fun like Guo Qi.

Many celebrities in the sports, fashion and entertainment circles have reposted the promotional photos and the music video of one or several women's basketball players on their personal social media such as Weibo, and cheered for the women's basketball girls by the way , I wish them good results in the World Championships.

But as one of the parties involved in this matter, and even the instigator, Xiao Yao has been silent and has not made any moves.

The photos, songs, and videos were all completed by Xiao Yao years ago, and they had already been handed over to the publicity department of the Basketball Association, women's basketball players, and Qijia Studio. The release work this time was carried out after a tripartite consultation between Qijia Studio, the Basketball Association and the women's basketball players. Xiao Yao did not participate in it, nor did he participate in the promotion of promotional photos, promotional songs and videos.

Not only that, when there was a lot of discussion on the promotional photos and promotional songs on the Internet, and when celebrities from all walks of life were cheering for the women's basketball players on their personal social media, Xiao Yao continued to support the women's basketball team from beginning to end. The girls cheered on and wished them good results in the World Championships, but never posted on Weibo.

Whether it is photos or songs, Xiao Yao is very confident in his works. At the time of delivery, Xiao Yao had already informed the people in the Basketball Association and Qijia Studio that he would not participate in the release and publicity work. Now the photos and songs have become hot spots as expected, and they have heated up the topic of the Women's Basketball World Championships. Xiao Yao's original goal has been achieved, and Xiao Yao naturally has no interest in joining in the fun.

At this time, Xiao Yao, other than busy asking teachers and classmates to help with the lessons that he had missed a few days ago, the only thing he cares about is whether Ye Jiaying will take a fancy to Zhan Youcheng's story and plan to make it into a movie.

A week after the publication of the "People" magazine that Zhan Youcheng reported, Xiao Yao received a call from Ye Jiaying.

Within a period of time, there is not only one hot topic. The hottest topic recently is naturally the issue of women's basketball players releasing promotional photos and songs before going to the World Championships, but that is a matter of the sports, fashion and entertainment circles. In terms of social and people's livelihood, the hot topic is the deeds of Zhan Youcheng reported in "People".

After reading the report in "People" magazine recommended by Xiao Chengru, Ye Jiaying was indeed very interested in Zhan Youcheng's deeds. But as her first film, Ye Jiaying's attitude was very cautious, and she didn't make up her mind right away.

Over the past week, as more and more people read this report, there have been more and more discussions about Zhan Youcheng on the Internet, forming a heated discussion on the Internet. For the first film she directed, besides the quality requirements, Ye Jiaying naturally also hoped to perform well at the box office. As for such a topical figure who has caused heated discussions, once his deeds are made into a movie, many people will be attracted to the theater because of this, and the box office may not be too bad. This also contributed to Ye Jiaying's final decision,

I chose Zhan Youcheng's deeds as the content of the first film he directed.

If you want to adapt a novel into a film and television work, you need to obtain the authorization of the author first. And if you want to adapt a story reported by a character into a film and television work, it is useless to find a reporter who wrote the report. The producer needs to obtain the authorization of the character himself. In other words, if Ye Jiaying wants to make Zhan Youcheng's story into a movie, he must first obtain Zhan Youcheng's authorization.

Xiao Yao did not disclose Zhan Youcheng's specific address and contact information in that report. At Zhan Youcheng's request, Xiao Yao only took some photos of Zhan Youcheng himself and the inside of the store. The store name and signboard were not photographed, nor were they mentioned in the report. Although it was known from the report that Zhan Youcheng still lived in Wuyou County, it was impossible for Ye Jiaying to go to every store in Wuyou County to look for it, so in desperation, Ye Jiaying could only start with the reporter who wrote this report. After all, to be able to write that interview report, the reporter must know Zhan Youcheng and understand his situation.

Ye Jiaying immediately contacted the "People" magazine, and directly approached the editor-in-chief of the magazine, inquired about the reporter who wrote Zhan Youcheng's report, and asked to meet. This report was directly sent by the deputy editor-in-chief of the headquarters to request publication. The editor-in-chief of "People" magazine didn't know the situation of the special reporter who was a non-staff member, so he told Ye Jiaying the contact information of the deputy editor-in-chief of the headquarters.

When Ye Jiaying contacted the deputy editor-in-chief of Xinhua News Agency to inquire about the reporter's situation, the deputy editor-in-chief did not tell Ye Jiaying the contact information of the reporter, but after learning about Ye Jiaying's purpose for looking for the reporter, she had already obtained The deputy editor-in-chief who had been instructed by Xiao Yao gave Ye Jiaying the contact information of Zhan Youcheng that Xiao Yao had left for him.

This approach aroused Ye Jiaying's curiosity, but considering that it was Xinhua News Agency, and the reporter had the word "Special Contract" in front of it, maybe the identity needed to be kept secret, Ye Jiaying didn't care too much. Now that the purpose of getting Zhan Youcheng's contact information has been achieved, the most urgent thing is to contact Zhan Youcheng.

After getting the contact information, Ye Jiaying didn't delay much, and immediately contacted Zhan Youcheng by phone. After some self-introduction, Ye Jiaying also went straight to the point and stated her purpose, she wanted to adapt Zhan Youcheng's story into a movie and put it on the big screen. If Zhan Youcheng is willing in this regard, she can immediately go to Wuyou County to discuss the specific details with Zhan Youcheng.

Zhan Youcheng was also mentally prepared for Ye Jiaying's call. He kept his promise and didn't tell Ye Jiaying that the reporter who wrote the report was her son. He just said that he had read the news reports during the earthquake last year and had a good impression of Xiao Yao and knew that Xiao Yao was an actor. If Ye Jiaying can guarantee that Xiao Yaolai will play his role in this movie, then the authorization is easy to negotiate. Will agree to authorize.

A non-film industry person who plays outdoors actually proposed to appoint the main actor of the movie? Ye Jiaying was also very surprised to hear this condition. Although Ye Jiaying was happy that others valued Xiao Yao, she did not agree rashly to Zhan Youcheng, but replied that she needed to think about it and maybe communicate with Xiao Yao herself.

Zhan Youcheng was not in a hurry, and had no objection to this. He even emphasized to Ye Jiaying that this condition was not aimed at Ye Jiaying. No matter who wanted to adapt his deeds into film and television works, let Xiao Yao play his role. conditions of.

After hanging up Zhan Youcheng's call, of course Ye Jiaying wanted to call Xiao Yao to discuss it immediately. But before calling Xiao Yao, Xiao Chengru happened to come to her office to care about the progress of her new movie script, in fact, he asked her if she planned to adapt Zhan Youcheng's deeds into a movie.

This report was originally recommended by Xiao Chengru to Ye Jiaying. Seeing Xiao Chengru coming, Ye Jiaying did not rush to call Xiao Yao, but first told Xiao Chengru the result of the communication with Zhan Youcheng, and listened to his opinion by the way.

Hearing that Zhan Youcheng raised such a strange condition, Xiao Chengru was also surprised, and then thought of the call Xiao Yao made to him. Now that Ye Jiaying has decided to film Zhan Youcheng's deeds, there is no reason for Xiao Yao to affect Ye Jiaying's decision. Xiao Chengru simply said that the report was actually read by Xiao Yao first, and it was Xiao Yao who felt that Zhan Youcheng's deeds were suitable for adaptation into a movie. , and deliberately told Ye Jiaying about the things he recommended.

When Xiao Chengru said this, both of them felt that Xiao Yao probably knew that Zhan Youcheng at all, and even knew that Zhan Youcheng would raise this condition. Therefore, Xiao Chengru, who was very interested in this matter, did not leave, and asked Ye Jiaying to call Xiao Yao on the speakerphone.

"Bayi, I'm grandpa. Let me ask you, do you know that Zhan Youcheng?" After the call was connected, Xiao Chengru even spoke before Ye Jiaying.

The phone's caller ID showed Ye Jiaying's number, but Xiao Yao heard Xiao Chengru's voice after connecting. Through this point, Xiao Yao also judged that this matter should basically be completed.

"Have you contacted him? Now you know why I didn't ask you to tell my mother that I recommended her to read the report, right?" Although Xiao Chengru's voice was only on the phone, Ye Jiaying's number was displayed. Xiao Yao knew that Ye Jiaying must be nearby, and the two of them probably used the speakerphone to talk, so he replied directly.

"How do you know him?" Ye Jiaying asked this time. Although Xiao Yao didn't say it clearly, the meaning in his words obviously admitted that he knew Zhan Youcheng.

"Zhan Youcheng lives in Wuyou County, and the schools I built are also near Wuyou County. Didn't I bring fans to those schools to give away things a while ago? I met them at that time." Xiao Yao replied.

"Didn't Zhan Youcheng open a shop in Wuyou County? Your schools are all around the county." Ye Jiaying asked suspiciously. Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying also knew about Xiao Yao's money to rebuild schools in the disaster-stricken areas of Wuyou County.

"Jiang Yan, do you still remember? It was the tour guide I sent to the rescue site in the disaster area last year. She was also my guide when I went to those schools to deliver things this time." Xiao Yao explained, "Jiang Yan and his family live In Wuyou County. When we went this time, we stayed in Wuyou County for one night, and Jiang Yan’s parents invited me to their house as a guest. That Zhan Youcheng lives upstairs in Jiang Yan’s house. Yan and his family all know about it. I heard Jiang Yan’s family talk about Zhan Youcheng that day, so I went upstairs to get to know him.” Except for his work as a reporter, Xiao Yao basically did not hide anything from Ye Jiaying.

"Then did you already know that he would raise that condition, that's why you showed that report to your mother through me?" Xiao Chengru interjected.

"Yes." Xiao Yao admitted, "I had a chat with Zhan Youcheng at the time, and I thought his affairs were very suitable for making a movie, so I asked by the way. But he said that unless I play him, I won't play him." Authorize. I don’t want my mom to make this movie for me, and that’s why you told her about that report.”

"Did you already know about that report?" Xiao Chengru thought of another question, "You called me so early that day, as if you were waiting for that issue of "People" to be published. You don't seem to be in school. Is it the habit of buying and reading magazines on the way?"

"During the interview, I was sitting opposite Zhan Youcheng." Xiao Yao played word games, but still didn't tell Xiao Chengru and Ye Jiaying that the reporter was him.

"Okay, I understand." Ye Jiaying said, "Now Zhan Youcheng has made a condition that unless you come to play him, he won't give me permission. What do you mean? Are you willing to play him?"

"Yes." Xiao Yao said bluntly, "If you don't want to, I won't tell you the report through grandpa. It's just that this is your first movie, and I don't want you to decide what to make because of me. But since you decided to make this movie without knowing about me, of course I want to support you!"

"Oh, let me tell you, you child, the thoughts in your heart are really awkward! It's so complicated!" Ye Jiaying said dissatisfied.

"Hey," Xiao Yao smiled, and changed the topic, "Then what is your plan? Is the funding in place? How is the crew's preparations going?"

"The first step in making a movie is the script. I haven't got the right to adapt it yet, so how do I prepare the crew?" Ye Jiaying said, "However, funding is not a problem. Although I haven't started making a budget yet, I have already prepared a certain amount of funds. I have negotiated with several investors who have confidence in me. This is the first film I have directed, and I don’t want to have too many constraints. I will take the lead in funding and be the producer myself.”

"It's all up to you, that's good!" Xiao Yao smiled, "The right to adapt is definitely not a problem. Zhan Youcheng said that as long as I play it, he will not be a problem with free authorization. Of course, that's all I want to do. First of all, don't really tell him that you want it for free."

"Okay, although it's the first time for Mom to be a director, it's not the first time to be a producer. Do I still need you to teach me?" Ye Jiaying said, "Since the right to adapt is okay, the first thing to do is find a screenwriter to write the script. Alright, screenwriter Xiao, are you interested?"

"No!" Xiao Yao said immediately.

"Why?" Ye Jiaying said, "This script definitely needs Zhan Youcheng's participation, and I need him to perfect many details. Zhan Youcheng appointed you as the starring role, and he must appreciate you very much. You must communicate well with him. Didn't you just say that Do you want to support my first movie? It's not like you haven't written a script!"

"Because it's your first movie, I don't participate in the writing of the script." Xiao Yao said, "I have been a director and made short films. Movies are the art of directors, and that should be your work. I I don’t want this movie to be made in the future, and others will regard it as a joint work of the two of us, and feel that we have completed it together. So not only the script writing in the early stage, but also the editing, soundtrack, theme song and ending song in the later stage. Not involved in all. In this movie, I don’t do anything except acting.”
