Chapter 518

The popularity of short films is directly reflected in the number of hits on these four video websites. In just one week, the number of hits on this short film on these four websites has exceeded 10 million times, which also makes the three video websites that have paid for the right to play short films on the Internet feel that they are worth the money.

At first, Xiao Yao made a short film just to satisfy one of his wishes. Originally, he planned to upload it to the website for free viewing, so all the actors he was looking for were based on the relationship with his acquaintances. However, in France, when Clement Ferrand came across a video website, Xiao Yao found that in fact, this short film can also make money. Xiao Yao really needs websites to spread his works, but websites also need good and attractive works to attract netizens and earn traffic and hits.

Traffic is the foundation for a website to settle down. When you encounter works that can obviously improve the traffic of the website, even if they are not suitable for channels and sections that can only be watched by paying members, the website will also spend money to buy the right to broadcast. And his work with the award-winning short film title of Clement Ferrand International Short Film Festival is undoubtedly one that can be expected to bring a lot of network traffic.

Xiao Yao made money with this short film, and he didn't forget the relatives and friends who helped him play this short film for free. So when he got the network broadcast copyright fee of five websites, he also expressed his heart to the actors who played in the short film. For Su Chengying, Huang Shi and Cheng Xi, Xiao Yao simply and directly sent them a red envelope as a thank-you. While Lin Shaohua, Ye Jiaying, Xiao Chengru, including Tian Fangzhen, and other relatives and elders, Xiao Yao carefully selected a gift that was equivalent to the amount of the red envelope and was expensive.

Therefore, when Xiao Yao's short film is discussed on the Internet, Xiao Yao is hiding in the school, racking his brains to think about what gifts to give his relatives and elders. There is a way to run errands, and Pei Minyi can still help him, but Xiao Yao has to make up his own mind about who to send or what to give.

From the time Xiao Yao returned to Shencheng after recording the QuickBook to the time before recording the singer, to be exact, before Xiao Yao participated in the recording of the singer, Xiao Yao still had about three weeks to prepare. During this period, in addition to preparing red envelopes and gifts for the actors of the short film, Xiao Yao took classes in school and discussed the script of Parkour movies with Mu Ying and Zhao Rui once a week. The most important thing was to prepare I'm on the singer.

As the first kicking singer, Xiao Yao won't appear until the third issue. But even recently, because of the explosion of the short film on the Internet, the program team didn't disclose in advance that Xiao Yao will participate in singer as the first kicking singer. From this, we can see how strict the singer's identity confidentiality work is. Similarly, Xiao Yao can't know in advance who the seven first singers in the program are. In addition to guessing that he might have his own father Xiao Siqi, he knew nothing about the other six players before the show.

However, "singer" is also a program that is recorded and broadcast at the same time. The recording time and broadcast time are about two weeks apart. It wasn't until the week when Xiao Yao left for Southern Hunan to record the third program that Xiao Yao saw the first program on TV that he knew who the first seven singers were.

Xiao Yao guessed that Xiao Siqi was in the first seven people list. Besides Xiao Siqi, there were two singers from Treasure Island, one from Hong Kong Island, two from the mainland and one from South Korea. Among these people, the youngest is also about 30 years old in the Mesozoic era, and the older are the elders who have dominated the singing world for nearly 30 years. The lineup can be said to be very strong.

Among these people, Xiao Yao is most concerned about the performance of his father Xiao Siqi. In the first phase of qualifying, Xiao Siqi won the third place by virtue of an adaptation of "miss your night". This is a relatively safe place. As long as their performance in the second program is not too bad, their father and son should be able to appear on the same stage at the same time.

On the morning and afternoon of the recording day of "singer" program, there are rehearsals for singers and live bands. Each singer can have about half an hour to an hour. In the evening, the program is officially recorded. Therefore, Xiao Yao didn't set out on the day of the program recording, just as he did in the QuickBook. Instead, he arrived in southern Hunan one day ahead of schedule.

The door of Xiao Yao's hotel room was knocked at more than 9 a.m. on the day of recording.

Xiao Yao opened the door and found a beautiful girl in her twenties standing outside. Behind her, there was a man carrying a camera.

"Agent?" Xiao Yao asked.

Just like the previous show, the world's "singer" also arranges an agent for each singer, usually acted by the host of Xiangnan TV station. Seeing the camera, Xiao Yao immediately guessed the identity of the girl in front of him.

"Hello Xiao Yao, I'm Shen man, your agent in the program." Sure enough, the girl smiles and reaches out her hand to Xiao Yao.

"Hello." Xiao Yao reached out and shook Shen man, and said with a smile, "didn't you say ten o'clock? It's early enough

"We were afraid of traffic jams, so we started ahead of time." Shen man asked with a smile, "can I go in? Or shall we wait outside for a while? "In addition to the performance of the singers on the stage, this program will also record some behind the scenes content interspersed in the program. The first contact between the singer and the program crew is usually compulsory. The program director group originally intended to send the film crew to take a picture of Xiao Yao's dormitory directly at Xiao Yao's school, but Xiao Yao refused because he didn't want to disturb his classmates. After discussing with the program director group, he changed to start from the hotel. This is one of the reasons why he arrived in southern Hunan one day earlier.

More than nine in the morning is not early for ordinary people, but for singers and artists, there are many people who are still sleeping in at this time. Before Shen man came, he was worried that Xiao Yao would not get up. Unexpectedly, as soon as he knocked on the door, the door opened. However, she was also afraid that Xiao Yao had just got up and that the mess in the room would affect his image. That's why she asked.

"Ah! Come in, please Without hesitation, Xiao Yao quickly opens the door and invites Shen man and the cameraman into the room.

Shen man walks into Xiao Yao's room with a little curiosity and looks around. Because it's a hotel room, the pillows and quilts on the bed are scattered, keeping the state after getting up. In addition, other places are relatively clean.

"What is this? Is the score of the song to be sung today? " Shen man suddenly noticed a few pieces of white paper and a pencil lying on the desk, and he guessed with a smile, "get up early in the morning and get ready? I said why you got up so early. It seems that you attach great importance to today's performance. Why? Why do you still have paintings? "

"Er..." Xiao Yao felt his nose awkwardly and said, "it's not a song score. I'm writing a script recently. I'm revising and perfecting it just now. Those paintings are the sub scenes of painting."

"Ah?" Shen man and the cameraman behind him have some silly eyes. Is a singer still writing a script on the day of the competition? Is this to say that he has a big heart or he doesn't pay attention to this program and the first singers he wants to challenge?

"In fact, I'm already ready for the song I'm going to sing tonight." Xiao Yao definitely can't let them think about it later, and then he explains it quickly.

Agents and singers are tied together. If the singer is eliminated, then his agent in this program will not appear again, so Shen man certainly hopes that Xiao Yao can go as far as possible, so Shen man wants to ask the director team to cut off the previous section. But after coming in, he can't have nothing, so Shen man starts to talk to Xiao Yao about other topics.

"I think your hair is a little wet. Did you get up and take a bath in the morning?" Shen man noticed Xiao Yao's hair.

"Well, I went to the hotel gym to exercise for a while in the morning, and then I had breakfast. After I came back, I took a bath, and soon you came. If you had arrived a little earlier, I might not have come back yet." Xiao Yao nodded.

"Good habits!" Shen man said with a smile. This is no problem. You can take it out and play it.

"Your rehearsal with the band is arranged in the afternoon, but in the morning you have to record a pre competition interview with a kicker. Can you start now?" Shen man talked with Xiao Yao a few words, and then told him about today's schedule.

"Wait a minute. My agent may not be up yet. Let me ask first." With that, Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and began to call Fang.

In this program, although most of the time is the agent and singer in the program together, but in the singer's performance, it will also be fixed for the singer to stand together with the real agent. Therefore, Fang still came with Xiao Yao to record this program. As the director group said that the meeting time was 10 o'clock, Fang still probably didn't get up at this time.

"Excuse me, please wait for her for twenty minutes." Put down the phone, Xiao Yao slightly apologetic with Shen man way. Fang still hasn't got up yet.

"It's OK. We're early." Shen man waved his hand. Although I was surprised that the agent got up later than the artist, I couldn't show it on my face.

More than 20 minutes later, Fang still knocked on Xiao Yao's door. After introducing Shen man to each other, several people set out for Xiangnan TV station building.

The interview is not in the studio, but in a special interview shed. The recording time is not very long, mainly asking some questions, such as the mood and feeling when I am sure that I will become the first kicking singer of this season, the understanding and evaluation of several other first-time singers, and the expectation of my success in kicking. Xiao Yao's answer is just in line, and there is nothing unexpected. Considering Xiao Yao's age and his first PK experience with those big names in the industry, Xiao Yao's calm expression and well-organized reply were quite unexpected.

Only a regular singer can enter the singer preparation room marked with the number. A kicker can't enter the room until he successfully becomes a regular singer. So after the interview, Shen man takes Xiao Yao and Fang to the temporary rest room. The environment of the temporary rest room is also very good. The program team not only prepares a guitar for Xiao Yao, but also an extra gift.

After entering the temporary rest room, Xiao Yao picked up the guitar in the room and began to play. Shen man pointed to a box on the table and said, "the program team has given the kicking singer a privilege. Do you want to know?""Yes, you can see it for me." Xiao Yao said with a smile while plucking the strings.

"Good." Shen man opened the box, took out a card from it and read, "you can watch the rehearsal of the other six first singers live, once!"

"How's it going? Do you want to see it? " Shen man smiles and raises the card on his hand.

"Yes." Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, and then said, "I can go to see their rehearsal, then can they see mine?"

"Of course not. Otherwise, how can it be called privilege?" Shen man said, "now, except for the host, other singers don't know who the kicking singer is. If they can go to see your rehearsal, they will know who the kicking singer is? Although the host knows that the kicking singer is you, he must keep secret from other singers. He can't tell him. Later, when they rehearse, we will sit in the audience. Because the lights on the stage are very bright and the ones under the stage are very dark, we can see them, but they can't see us. "

"So." Xiao Yao suddenly realized, "then I won't go!"

"Ah?" Shen man was silly again and asked anxiously, "why don't you go? It's a good opportunity to investigate the enemy's situation. Don't you wonder what songs they can sing? "

"Curious, I want to see it. But I think I can watch their rehearsal, they can't watch my rehearsal, it seems a bit unfair, and I think after I watch their rehearsal, I may be psychologically affected, maybe nervous or something. I thank the crew for the privilege, but I'd better stay here and play guitar Xiao Yao shrugged.

"Director, what to do?" Shen man got up and asked the director of the film crew in the room. Just now, the part of meeting Xiao Yao in the hotel is relatively simple. Shen man took the cameraman with him. Now there is a camera crew and the director in the room. Shen man can't make up his own mind, so he has to ask the director.

The director of the film crew can't make up his mind. In the plan, Xiao Yao peeks at the rehearsal of other singers, but it will be edited and played. If he doesn't go, he will lose a lot of playing material. But insist that he go? The director of the film crew simply took out the phone and called Tao Ran, the chief director and producer, for instructions.

"All right." The director of the film crew hung up and said to Shen man helplessly, "Tao Dao said, whatever he wants."

"Before recording, can I pretend to be a cameraman and go to the singers' lounge?" Xiao Yao put down his guitar and asked, "they will definitely guess who the kicking singer is. I want to hear what they will say and whether they will guess it's me."

"Ah?" Shen man and the director of the film crew were silly again. "What are you going to do?"

"Yes!" This time, the director of the film crew didn't ask for any more instructions, but made a direct decision. The same is peeking, which can just replace Xiao Yao's material clips of peeking at the singers' rehearsal, and eavesdropping on other people's comments behind their backs is different from the nature of peeking at the rehearsal. When it comes to the following, the expressions of other singers are definitely better than knowing that they are peeking at their rehearsal.
