Entertaining Children

Chapter 889 Time-Out Speech

The four of Xiao Yao got up smiling and hugged and celebrated with the other crew beside them, accepted the congratulations from some stars in the front and rear seats, and walked quickly to the stage in a line.

"What a handsome guy!" Xu Ben said with a smile, "Maybe this is the group of winners with the tallest looks and figures in the technical awards?"

Needless to say, Xiao Yao and the other three actors, Kevin Scott, a white American, works behind the scenes, but he is an action director, and he also exercises for a long time. He is in good shape and looks very tough. It can be called a handsome man. These four people are all over 1.8 meters tall, so walking on stage together is indeed very eye-catching.

Hearing Xu Ben's words, the audience below cheered again.

The winners have to greet the award presenters first on stage. None of the four had worked with Zhou Nian'an before, they just bent down politely and shook hands with Zhou Nian'an after they came on stage. Tian Xinhui is a woman, and Zhao Rui, Xu Fei, and Kevin just shook hands politely, but when it was Xiao Yao's turn, Tian Xinhui opened his arms proactively.

"Little God, long time no see!" Tian Xinhui raised his arms and looked at Xiao Yao with a smile.

Xiao Yao didn't hold back, and smiled and stretched out his arms to hug Tian Xinhui: "Sister Goddess, long time no see!"

This is not the first time Xiao Yao and Tian Xinhui have met. When he was in high school, Xiao Yao participated in Donghai Satellite TV's cross-border fashion reality show. At that time, Tian Xinhui was one of the five actresses who crossed over to be models, and Xiao Yao was one of the flying guests. In the show at the beginning, their titles were God and Goddess respectively.

"Congratulations!"

"Thanks!"

The stage is not a place to reminisce about the past, the two said something to each other, and then separated.

"Xin Hui, why do you treat Xiao Yao differently from others?" Xu Ben on the side of the stage said provocatively, "I just said that they are a team, you can't treat them differently!"

When it came to the awards ceremony, the two hosts did not leave the stage, but stood on one side of the stage, and could communicate with the award presenters and winners in the middle of the stage at any time.

"I'm different from Zhao Rui and the others!" Xiao Yao looked at Xu Ben, and took the initiative to lean in front of the microphone to explain, "I have learned Taekwondo from Sister Xinhui, can I be the same as Zhao Rui and the others?"

"Hey, you also learned taekwondo from Xinhui?" Xu Ben laughed, "Xinhui won the Asian Taekwondo champion before. You have learned from her. Are you also very good at taekwondo? Can you show us?"

"Oh~" Xu Benyi said,

Many audience members below booed and clamored.

"Brother Ben, this is an award ceremony, I dress like this, you let me kick on the stage of the award ceremony?" Xiao Yao said helplessly.

"I think it's okay!" Xu Ben nodded solemnly.

"It's not impossible, but unless you can let sister Xinhui show it too!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "There is a comparison, and everyone will know whether I have learned well or not!"

"No!" Tian Xinhui said immediately.

"Okay, let you two go!" Xu Ben looked at the long skirt Tian Xinhui was wearing, smiled and shook his head.

"Please invite the two award presenters to present awards to the winners!" Tong Yishu stepped forward to bring the rhythm back.

Zhou Nian'an took the trophy from the hostess lady next to her and handed it out. Xiao Yao originally wanted Kevin Scott to come forward to accept the award, but was pushed out by the other three. He had no choice but to accept the trophy from Zhou Nian'an as a representative.

"Please tell the winners a speech!" Tong Yishu said.

Xiao Yao waved to Kevin Scott as a gesture of invitation, put the trophy in his hand, and signaled him to give his acceptance speech.

Kevin did not refuse this time, took the trophy from Xiao Yao, walked to the microphone and gave an acceptance speech. Kevin does not speak Chinese, so this acceptance speech is in English.

"Xiao Yao, help with the translation!" After Kevin finished speaking, Xu Ben called Xiao Yao's name again.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao walked to the microphone and said with a smug smile, "Kevin said that he is a parkour enthusiast, and our parkour team is his idol. He can participate in this It is a great honor for him to work with idols and work for the idol team in a movie about parkour. It is an unexpected surprise to stand here today to accept the award. He can't ask for more Already. He just wanted to say, thank you YRF team!"

"Hey~" The audience below gave a round of applause, but in the applause, there were also some boos.

"Why are there still boos?" Xiao Yao said with a dissatisfied face, "I translated it truthfully! I don't believe that there are no English-speaking people below, you all know that I am telling the truth!"

"I think the key is not whether your translation is true or not. The key is that you translated the words and the expression on your face when you translated." Xu Ben laughed, "If Zhao Rui or Xu Fei came to translate, I don't think the next There will be booing!"

"Ha~" After listening to Xu Ben's interpretation, the audience below laughed again.

"Okay, then let the two of them talk!" Xiao Yao stepped back and gave up the position in front of the microphone to Zhao Rui and Xu Fei.

Kevin Scott handed the trophy to Zhao Rui with great interest. When it comes to acceptance speeches, of course it’s better to hold the trophy in your hand.

Zhao Rui and Xu Fei took turns to give their acceptance speeches. Both of their speeches were short and nothing special, basically just words of thanks.

Although Xiao Yao had already spoken, before the award was presented, he explained his relationship with Tian Xinhui, dealt with Xu Ben's ridicule and embarrassment, and translated Kevin Scott's words after the award. He himself has not given his acceptance speech yet. After Zhao Rui and Xu Fei finished speaking, Xu Fei returned the trophy to Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao also stood back in front of the microphone.

"Zhao Rui and Xu Fei have already thanked all the people we want to thank, and it seems that there is no one left for me to thank!" Xiao Yao spread his hands into the microphone and smiled, "I don't want to repeat what they said , so I'm going to say something else!"

"Other?" Many people showed strange expressions.

Xiao Yao looked down at the trophy in his hand, and continued: "The success of our movie is inseparable from the sport of parkour, and it cannot be separated from the parkour enthusiasts. What I said is mainly because of my love for parkour. what the writers said."

"Besides thank you, what else can I say?" Some people wondered in their hearts.

"Although the Golden Dragon Awards are China's film awards, they are only broadcast live in China, but I believe that after the award ceremony, the video of the award ceremony will appear on the Internet. Not only on China's network, but also on foreign video sites and social media There will be too." Xiao Yao said, "These words of mine are for parkour lovers all over the world. In order to avoid the trouble of translation, I will use English in the following speeches. I didn't pretend to be that on purpose. Show English!"

"The more you say that, the more you feel that you are showing off on purpose!" Xu Ben laughed.

"Then treat me as a show!" Xiao Yao turned his head and smiled at Xu Ben. After turning back, he straightened his face and said in English, "When we made this movie, part of the production funds came from the Internet. Crowdfunding. Crowdfunding is not an investment behavior, and there is no financial return. Specifically, in our project, as long as we complete the film and make it public, we have fulfilled the promise of this crowdfunding project. Now we have completed This film, this film has already been released around the world, so this project has already been completed."

"What exactly is he trying to say?" Even the audience who could understand English didn't quite understand what Xiao Yao wanted to say.

At the same time, a red light also lit up on a prompter in front of Xiao Yao.

During the award ceremony, the speaking time of the guests is limited. The red light in front of Xiao Yao reminded him that it was time to speak.

"This movie is making money, that is to say, all the capital investment has economic benefits." Xiao Yao saw the red light, but continued regardless, "The crowdfunding part of the funds is also profitable." Economic benefits. Crowdfunding funds come from netizens, so this part of the economic benefits should not belong to our team that initiated crowdfunding. But according to the principle of crowdfunding, we cannot give this part of the proceeds to those who participate in crowdfunding. Participate in crowdfunding The netizens who raised are basically parkour enthusiasts, so we..."

When Xiao Yao said this, he paused for a moment, stretched out his arms and pulled Zhao Rui and Xu Fei to his side, wrapped their arms around their shoulders and continued: "We! We decided to use this part of the proceeds to establish a fund. in the promotion of parkour."

"Oh~" Someone in the audience below exclaimed. Obviously, some of the audience who understood Xiao Yao's English speech were surprised and surprised.

At this time, Xiao Yao discovered that the red light in front of him indicating that it was time to speak had miraculously disappeared.

"We are not telling you that we will do this, but that we have already done it." Zhao Rui knew what Xiao Yao was talking about, and also noticed that the red light on the prompter in front of Xiao Yao disappeared, so he also moved to the microphone The former smiled and answered. Of course, he also spoke English.

Now that the red light disappeared, Xiao Yao decided to speak in more detail.

"Yes," Xiao Yao continued, "After last year's film box office share arrived in the account, we set up this fund with a portion of the box office proceeds based on the proportion of crowdfunding funds in the total production cost. Later, the film We also transfer part of the proceeds from copyrights sold on various TV stations in various countries and online streaming media to this fund in proportion. Subsequent audio-visual products are sold, rented, and some streaming media pay-on-demand and other long-term dividends Benefits, too."

When he said this, Xiao Yao pressed Xu Fei's shoulder hard with his right hand. Xu Fei understood, and stepped forward to the microphone with a smile and interjected in English: "For this reason, we even set up a company!"

"The purpose of establishing this fund is to promote the sport of parkour, so we set up a sports promotion company to manage this fund and be responsible for the promotion of parkour." Xiao Yao continued, "After the box office share arrives in the account, the fund will be established. , the company was also established. In the past ten months, the company has held nearly 20 parkour events in seven cities in North America. With the development of the company and the fund, in the future, in Europe, Asia, South America, Oceania, and even Africa, this company will hold parkour events and continue to promote the sport!"

"Oh~" At this point, some audience members below have already applauded.

"Finally, I would like to remind you that parkour is a dangerous sport." Xiao Yao said, "Please pay attention to safety when you are studying and practicing!"

When Xiao Yao said this, it meant that the speech was over. The three of them bowed to the camera together again, ending this speech.

"Thank you for your speeches!" Tong Yishu on the side of the stage laughed, "Due to time constraints, we will not translate such a long speech from you!"

At the awards ceremony, all guest speeches are time-limited. The prompter is something that is available on the stage of many award ceremonies. When the red light is on, it reminds the guests to speak overtime and let them end quickly. If the guests don't care about it, the host will even find an opportunity to interrupt and help the guests to finish their speech skillfully.

Normally, it is impossible for any award organizer to give Xiao Yao such a long time to speak. However, after listening to Xiao Yao's previous content, the on-site director realized that Xiao Yao's speech was very special, so he turned off the red light on the prompter, and did not let the host come forward to interrupt. After Ren Xiaoyao finished speaking, it can be said It was an extra exception for Xiao Yao and the others.

First of all, this matter is very positive. After making this movie, Xiao Yao completed the crowdfunding project. The copyright of the film belongs to them, and all the relevant proceeds naturally belong to them, but they use the proceeds from crowdfunding to establish a fund and company to promote this sport, giving people the impression that they are not greedy for money.

In today's movie market, there are many bad movies that are commented by the audience as purely for making money. What Xiao Yao and the others have done is equivalent to telling everyone that some filmmakers do not just make movies for money, and of course it is worth publicizing.

Secondly, Xiao Yao's words are addressed to all parkour lovers around the world, and they are also very topical. It is foreseeable that after the awards ceremony, their speech will definitely appear on many foreign video sites and social media, and the scope of dissemination will be very wide.

Xiao Yao and the others said this at the Golden Dragon Awards. After seeing this video, foreign netizens will naturally be curious about what occasion Xiao Yao and the others said these words, so let's find out by the way. Therefore, after these videos are spread, they will not only help filmmakers establish their image, but also establish an image for Chinese filmmakers internationally, and at the same time promote the Golden Dragon Award itself.

It was with these two points in mind that the on-site director did not interrupt Xiao Yao and allowed him to finish speaking. However, giving Xiao Yao such a long time to finish speaking is an exception. It is obviously impossible for the on-site director to ask the host or Xiao Yao to spend time translating these words on the spot. Moreover, the impact of Xiao Yao's words is after the event, not on the spot, and there is not much need for on-site translation.

"But I still have to say one more thing," Xu Ben said with a thumbs up to the three of them, "You guys did a great job! It's great!"

"Thank you!" The three said to Xu Ben.

"Thank you to the two award presenters, and congratulations to our winners!" Tong Yishu led the audience to applaud the people on the stage again.

The four of Xiao Yao bowed to the audience again, and then, under the guidance of Miss Etiquette, they left the stage from behind with the two award presenters.
