The spread of a song video through the Internet has caused such a big reaction, and even caused the stock price of a giant airline to fall. The media and netizens are also quite surprised.
In the early days of the spread of the video, in addition to paying attention to the popularity of the video itself and the comments of netizens, the media were very interested in the originator of the video. When the airlines came forward to recognize the counsels, the media and netizens became more interested. Who wrote this song? Who shot this video? Most importantly, who came up with the idea?
The young Chinese singing with a guitar in the video is obviously the main character of the video, but logically speaking, the songwriter, the person who put forward the idea of shooting the video and the passenger whose guitar was broken are not necessarily the same person. It is also possible that a musician wrote this song for him or her with the voice of the passenger who wants to get justice from American Airlines. The musician or other people came up with a way to publish the song video online to help the passenger get justice. So after American Airlines made a formal response, the focus of media and netizens also shifted from American Airlines'' response to the curiosity of song and video producers.
For many Americans, the face of the young Chinese singing in the video doesn''t seem familiar. Neither netizens nor American media can see who the protagonist is for the first time. We are all familiar with several supporting actors who participated in the performance. Although there is no subtitle introduction of the cast members in the video, many people think that the video has something to do with the stars, such as Keith Craig and Betty Bailette, who forwarded the video almost the same day it was uploaded to the website.
As long as you watch the video a little more carefully, it''s easy to find that their figures appear in this video. As a result, many media have found several of their stars for interviews, and they want to know why they are involved in such a seemingly "spoof" video. More importantly, they want to know the information of the song and video creator through them.
Through the reporter''s interview with Keith Craig and other stars and subsequent in-depth investigation, we have a more comprehensive understanding of the author of this song video.
First of all, several stars confirmed that the song and the video are about the protagonist''s personal experience. In fact, it can be seen from the video taken by the mobile phone and the photo of the damaged guitar in the last egg of the video. It''s just that the video of the mobile phone doesn''t show the passenger himself. We can''t be sure whether the singer is the passenger or not But given the nature of the video, you''re not particularly surprised.
What''s a little unexpected is the protagonist in the video. The young Chinese singer is the creator of the song, and the idea of shooting the video is his own. In addition to the photographer, he does all the behind the scenes work, including the plot, scene design, lighting layout, props and clothing preparation, and even the post editing and production of the video. In fact, in the previous speculation of netizens, more people thought that this song with the characteristics of American country music was created by Keith Craig''s partner in "the voice of America" and his country music tutor Bob lenbrown.
Later, when the report began to introduce the protagonist, we were surprised to find that the protagonist was not what we thought, but an unknown ordinary person.
Keith Craig introduced the creator of the song and video, named young Shaw, as a member of the student band "immortals", who was a guest performer at the Oscars. The band''s song of the same name "impressions", which was popular in the United States and performed at the Oscar ceremony, was actually created by him. This band has been a warm-up guest for the band "daydream" in Los Angeles, and now it is a band of "daydream" studio.
However, Yang Xiao was not an American, but a Chinese. At that time, he only came to the United States as an international exchange student to study for one year, and he wanted to return to China after studying, so he was not a regular member of "immortals". When the studio of "daydream" signed the band "immortals", Yang was not included, so Yang was not a signed musician of "daydream" studio. But as a former member of the band or called an extra member, he has a good relationship with Keith Craig and is familiar with the members of daydream band such as Vincent Valle. Therefore, Keith Craig and Vincent Valle helped to take part in the shooting of this video as friends.
Betty bellette and two other world famous models took part in the video shooting, not only because her husband Keith Craig had a close relationship with the young Shaw, but also because the other two models had a good relationship with Betty bellette, but because they all knew the young Shaw.
In the interview with three famous models including Betty bellette, Betty bellette also revealed another identity of young Shaw, that is, ys, a young talented photographer who caused a lot of speculation in the fashion photography circle at that time. All three of them have cooperated with Yang in photography.As early as nine years ago, young Shaw, who was only ten years old, had already met Betty bellette. At that time, young was recommended to be a backstage photographer on the EVA show as a young photographer, while Betty bellette was the opening and FB of the show. So in all, Betty bellette and young met far before Keith Craig.
In those years, the keyboard player of benoxy band, the guest of EVA show, was injured accidentally. The young Chinese boy who temporarily replaced the keyboard player was Yang Xiao. The reason why he has the chance to replace the keyboard player is that Betty bellette recommended to the director of EVA show. It was also because Betty Barrett went back to her alma mater to participate in the celebration activities, met young Shaw, who was an exchange student at her alma mater at that time, and invited him to be a guest at home. Keith Craig met him under the introduction of Betty Barrett. It can be seen that Betty bellette not only knew young earlier, but also had a better relationship with young than Keith Craig and young.
With more and more information about the author of song video revealed by media reporters, the American public is more and more surprised by the author.
When I was 10 years old, I participated in the EVA show as a backstage photographer, and temporarily joined the bicknessy band as a keyboard player to perform on the EVA show. The former member of "immortals" band and the creator of the hit song "immoortals" have now created such a song video that makes giant enterprises bow their heads and admit their advice. Even if it''s not American, the name of young Shaw is rapidly becoming popular in the United States.
Because I know that this young photographer and music composer named Yang Xiao is from China. From Keith Craig''s mouth, some American entertainment media reporters who know that he has returned to China even travel thousands of miles from the United States to China to interview him in person.
After coming to China to learn more, these American entertainment reporters were even more surprised by young Shaw.
They found that young Shaw was more than just a young composer who could write excellent music. In China, he has been recognized as a music genius by professional music awards. A few months ago, at the age of 18, he became the record maker who won the largest number of nominations and awards in a single Chinese domestic music award, and the youngest in the history of winning awards. Besides photography and music, he was also an actor. When he was 14 or 15 years old, he took part in a drama performance of Huaxia. He won the Best Newcomer Award in the next year''s Drama Award and was also the youngest winner in the history of the award.
In fact, there are many talented second-generation stars in the United States. Many of them have developed simultaneously in performance, music and other aspects. However, they have won awards or honors in performance, music and photography. Young talents who have achieved such achievements, not to mention the United States, even if they look around the world, it seems that they can''t find a guy who is more powerful than him at the same age.
Although Yang Xiao is a Chinese, because he has the experience of studying in the United States, he has a lot to do with American stars such as Keith Craig and Betty Bailette. He is likely to go to the entertainment industry in the United States in the future, so those American entertainers who come to China feel as excited as digging treasure, and they all want to win it An interview with young Shaw.
Xiao Yao is obviously also a performing star in China. To interview a star, it is usually through his agency or agent. Xiao Yao is very famous in China, and almost all of the people who know him know his parents. They know that he is the contracted artist in his parents'' studio. So entertainment reporters from the United States can easily find Xiao Yao''s company Qijia studio.
However, to the dismay of many American entertainment journalists, even if they came to China from the United States and found Xiao Yao''s company, they still didn''t get the opportunity to interview Xiao Yao face to face. Because it''s mid September now, according to the practice of most universities in China, the first month after freshmen start school is the time for students'' military training.
Xiao Yao''s University is Shencheng drama college, which also has a tradition of military training for freshmen. Moreover, their tradition is not to invite instructors from the army to conduct military training for students in schools, but to directly pull students to military barracks for closed military training. If you want to enter a military camp in China to interview a star student, not to mention these American journalists, I''m afraid few Chinese journalists can do it.
For Xiao Yao''s military training in China for more than half a month? It''s hardly on the agenda of these American journalists.
The entertainment industry in the United States is more developed than that in China. News is happening every day. No one will give up the news report of the United States for more than half a month for a Chinese star who has not formally entered the entertainment industry in the United States. And now American Airlines has apologized. Although the Internet still likes to talk about that video, the enthusiasm for discussion has begun to decline. Who knows, half a month later, does anyone want to know who the author of that video is?
If there is no such status as the author of popular videos, they can only introduce a Chinese star in the United States by their relationship with Keith Craig and Betty bellette. They are not sure whether the company will give them the resources to publish this report. Therefore, the entertainment reporters from the United States just sorted out the information collected in China, so they went back to the United States to do an introduction report without my interview content.
