Chapter 957

While Xiao Yao is busy with the post production of animated films, the preparatory work for the Parkour film has already begun.

In late March, the film crowdfunding project was approved by a well-known American crowdfunding website and officially launched. Before the crowdfunding project was approved, the film's official website was built. The day before the crowdfunding project went online, the film's official website was opened.

With the official website of the film, the project description of this project on the crowdfunding website only briefly introduces that this is a film project. The following is the link to the official website of the film. The specific situation, please interested netizens to move to the official website of the film to understand.

On the official website of the film, in addition to posting part of the script outline, it mainly publishes the list of identified creators and their biographical information.

The released list of main creators includes the main positions of producers, directors, screenwriters, action directors and main actors. The coincidence rate of names in these job lists is very high. All of them have multiple roles. It gives people the feeling that four or five people want to save a movie. From this point of view, it is in line with the practice of crowdfunding movies. But after looking at the personal data of the main creators, it doesn't feel like that.

The most prominent among the main creators is Xiao Yao, who is listed in these positions.

As a young singer and actor in China, he was a member of the "immortals" band in the early years and performed on the Oscar stage. Last year, he participated in the shooting of EVA swimsuit special and was a guest of the "EVA show" and performed twice. This year, he participated in the All-Star masters of the NBA and was one of the MVP winners. His music works have been on the billboard of the United States and the European Union The country's music charts, several original songs and MVs are popular all over the world.

These things have been reported by the media of more than one country, and Xiao Yao's popularity in the world is not low. Even if at first glance you feel a little strange to the name, after reading the introductions and representative works in the materials, you can still know who he is by checking them a little.

Another director Mu Ying is not well-known, but from his personal data, he not only directed BMW's short films, but also directed the shooting of long films in Hollywood. At least in the film and television industry, he is not a new rookie director without fame.

Zhao Rui, Xu Fei and Chen Xiaoting, three young Chinese people, are not well-known outside China. However, according to their personal data, they are all actors. They are young, and they have participated in many films and TV works. They should be child stars who have been acting since childhood. More experienced actors are well-known at least in China.

According to the personal data on the official website of the film, the five people on the list of main creators can be regarded as stars in the performing arts circle. They are not ordinary grassroots at all. Even if their personal income is not enough to support the production cost of a film, they should have enough resources and channels to attract investment. They do not need to make films through crowd funding.

Four Chinese performing stars and a Hollywood Chinese director go to the American crowdfunding website to raise money to make movies? For ordinary people, there are many people who watch the excitement, but I'm afraid not many are really willing to pay for investment. However, Xiao Yao and others' goal of crowdfunding this time is not ordinary people, but a specific group.

On the home page of the film's official website, there is also a video in a prominent position. This video is the biggest reliance of their film crowdfunding project.

This is a propaganda video shot by Xiao Yao, Zhao Tao and Xu Fei. In the front of the video, there is a picture of three people doing Parkour. When the three people stop, they face the camera and reveal that they are three members of the yrf team. They also tell us their original intention of shooting this Parkour movie.

At the bottom of the video, there is also a link to an Internet address. After clicking, you will be connected to the yrf channel on the PV video website. Here, it's an identical video.

The yrf channel of PV website is the official video release channel recognized by Parkour fans. Such a video appeared in the yrf channel of PV website, which undoubtedly confirmed the fact that the three people in the video were the three members of the yrf team.

As the sponsor team of parkour, the three members of yrf team have never shown their faces in the video. Their identities have always been a mystery for Parkour fans.

Not long after the kidnapping of New York Fashion Week the year before last, Xiao Yao used this website's account to publish a video of recruiting MV actors. At that time, it was revealed that Xiao Yao was one of the members of the yrf team, but Xiao Yao never responded publicly, that is, he never acknowledged it.

This time, the three members of the yrf team not only made a collective appearance, but also joined forces to make a Parkour movie. Naturally, those Parkour fans are extremely excited and excited.

Yrf three people said in the video that this Parkour movie was made by Parkour people for Parkour people. In order to maintain the purity of the film, they didn't want any film company or enterprise capital to participate, which would affect any aspect of the film shooting. In the case of their own lack of funds, they launched the crowdfunding. Since it's Parkour people who make Parkour movies, and it's also the veteran team of Parkour founders who work together to make Parkour movies, then of course Parkour fans need to give their full support.Therefore, shortly after the crowdfunding project was launched, many netizens generously joined the crowdfunding project.

The crowdfunding project is progressing smoothly, and Mu Ying, who is in charge of the project, feels a lot more relaxed. After it seems that there is no problem here, he also shifted his focus to Xiao Yao's work of finding the crew members in advance, scene selection and supporting actor primary selection. Although we are still more than three months away from the planned start-up time, it takes a lot of time and energy to do these things.

Although the film crowdfunding project is carried out on the crowdfunding website of the United States, parkour has become a popular sport in the world, and the news soon spread among Parkour fans in many countries in the world. On the one hand, it makes the crowdfunding more smoothly, and it also makes the news quickly spread to several leading players in China.

The world's popular new extreme sport parkour is actually initiated by several young people in China. This news also greatly stimulates the Parkour fans and many ordinary people in China. Of course, Chinese media reporters are also very excited about this. The entertainment reporters are most interested in this, because the three sports founders are all Chinese performing stars.

Parkour has once again become a hot topic in China, and this sport has also set off an upsurge in China. At the same time, several parties also received many media reporters' exclusive interview invitation.

At this time, Xiao Yao is still in the late stage of making soundtracks for animated films, so he is not grateful for this kind of interview invitation. Fortunately, the protagonist is not Xiao Yao, but Zhao Rui and Xu Fei. These two people readily agreed to be interviewed by media reporters, satisfying the curiosity of reporters, countless Parkour fans and some ordinary people.

In the interview, the two told the reporters in detail about the emergence of the sport and the process of their team composition, and also described in detail the various related situations of the film from proposing creative ideas, project approval, planning crowdfunding, script writing and the current preparation progress.

From their interviews, it seems that this sport was invented by Xiao Yao in order to improve his action style when he was filming in the production group. Zhao Rui and Xu Fei of the same production group saw it, learned to play with him, and formed such a team. Although Chen Xiaoting came up with the idea to share the video on the website, it was Xiao Yao's idea to spread the name of the sport, the name of the team, and even to spread the sport to foreign websites all over the world. When it comes to making Parkour movies and raising money for movies by crowdfunding, it's also Xiao Yao's idea.

Although Parkour fans generally recognize the founder team of yrf, the real inventor of this sport is Xiao Yao.

Compared with the best rookie actor who won the "flying sky Award" for his role of "Chengying" in that TV play, Xiao Yao's achievement in creating a new world popular movement was not small. What's more incredible is that at that time, Xiao Yao was a junior high school student who was promoted from junior high school to junior high school, and it was just for his own action when he was filming in the crew I'm here.

After these reports came out, Xiao Yao became the hot topic on the Internet again.

In the media and on the Internet, when Xiao Yao made Parkour a few years ago, he was busy with animated movies.

After all the post production of the film is completed, what Xiao Yao and Tong Luo have to do is to find the distributor of the film, send the film for approval, and then determine the release schedule of the film.

Xiao Yao has made up his mind not to run a road show during the release of the film. Roadshow is an important means of publicity for many film distributors during the film release period. It will also affect the film layout of the cinema, and then affect the box office of the film. In terms of film revenue, the distributor generally adopts the sharing mode to cooperate with the producer. Xiao Yao does not run road shows, which is not conducive to the promotion of the film and the arrangement of the cinema, and it is also not conducive to the box office of the film. This is not in line with the interests of the distributor.

In terms of Xiao Yao's own fame and his family's resources and contacts, his films should be able to find the first-class film distributors in China to cooperate. But the first-class issuers are generally big companies with big money, and their tolerance to Xiao Yao will be lower.

Although Xiao Yao has always held the titles of evil and genius, this first film is also a good stunt, but Xiao Yao's film is an animated film.

At present, Chinese animated films are generally at a loss. Even if it seems that the reputation and box office are good on the surface, but due to the huge production cost, it is basically a loss in the end. The production cost of Xiao Yao's animated film is also quite high. If distributors want to make money, the box office of the film is very high.

Although Xiao Yao has a great reputation and appeal, it is an animated film, and Xiao Yao will not appear in the film. Publishers feel that it's really unknown how many fans Xiao Yao can attract to the cinema just by hanging a lot of behind the scenes names.

Originally, Xiao Yao didn't have much confidence in the box office prospects of this animated film. Now Xiao Yao even stopped doing roadshows in advance. Naturally, those first-class distributors are less interested in Xiao Yao's film.

However, Xiao Yao just doesn't run road shows, nor is he too lazy to do any publicity. Moreover, as a producer, his interests are linked to the box office revenue of the film. As long as he doesn't run away, Xiao Yao's search for a cooperative film distributor is just a little less selective, a little more difficult, and not totally impossible.Even if the first-class distributors who are rich and powerful refuse to cooperate with Xiao Yao because of Xiao Yao's conditions, with his fame and network resources, there are still some distributors who are willing to cooperate with Xiao Yao because of Xiao Yao's name and the quality of the film.

To tell you the truth, Xiao Yao is very confident in the quality and prospects of the film. As long as the distributor's publicity ability is passable, as for publicity, he doesn't have much demand on those distributors. All he wants is someone to help him put the film on the theaters. With the cooperation of some distributors, the producers can also occupy more discourse power, which Xiao Yao can't wait for.

Under the introduction of Ye Jiaying, Xiao Yao finally chose to cooperate with a relatively medium-sized film distributor in Huaxia and entrusted the film distribution to the other party.

After the distributor is selected, the next step is the film submission. The original version of this animated film is rated g in the United States, which is suitable for people of all ages. There is no uncomfortable content in the film. When Xiao Yao made the film, he also deliberately increased the proportion of yellow people in the human characters in the film. Even the most important role of captain was changed to a Chinese. Therefore, the submission process of the film went very smoothly, and he got the release license in less than a week.

By the time I got the license, it was the end of April and the beginning of May. From the end of June to the end of August and the beginning of September, there is only more than one month left for the summer program.

Summer film is a very important golden time in the film market. It has always been a big film gathering, and the competition is very fierce. In order to avoid becoming the cannon fodder of the summer season, some films will also avoid this season.

This year, China alone has announced the release of several domestic films with well-known directors, actors and commercial productions, and several so-called commercial blockbusters introduced from Hollywood. Every film in the propaganda gives people the feeling of being aggressive, quite a bit to fight in the summer season.

A month's time is suitable for the pre screening publicity of a film. Normally, Xiao Yao's animated film can be released in the summer season. So, Xiao Yao, an animated film that took two years to make, bravely entered the summer camp to compete with those blockbusters, or did he stay away from the edge, postpone or advance the release, avoid the summer camp, and choose a relatively less competitive schedule? For Xiao Yao, the answer is definitely the former.

After getting the release license, Xiao Yao decided to release the film in late June at the beginning of the summer season. On the one hand, Xiao Yao is a man who does not admit defeat, and he has full confidence in this animated film, and is not afraid to compete with other so-called blockbusters! On the other hand, whether it is to advance or postpone the release time of the film, it has a great impact on Xiao Yao's work.
