The star is legit but sick.

Chapter 698 Calabash Brothers begins broadcasting

The work released by Xu Ye is not a song at all, it can only be said to be a dance.

But if you want to understand what the dance is about, you need this song.

The shoulder dance is so magical.

After watching it once, you want to watch it a second time. By the end, netizens were a little addicted to it.

Pidan, the up master of Xiaolanzhan, watched the shoulder dance seven times in one breath.

After watching it, he stood up, ran to the bathroom, faced the mirror, and started dancing with the shoulder-shaking dance moves.

He was also imitating Xu Ye's expression in the video, and he was going to post a video of him doing the shoulder-shaking dance.

However, Pidan discovered that the shoulder shaking dance was a bit difficult. For someone like him who worked in front of the computer all day, his limbs became a bit stiff. If he wanted to dance like Xu Ye, he would have to practice more.

"Xu Ye, you are really sexy!" Pi Dan exclaimed.

Such scenes are happening all over the world.

Sand sculpture knows no borders.

Thus, an imitation show began.

At first, netizens who didn’t know about the shoulder dance found it a bit confusing when they saw others doing it.

I don’t know why, but I found the shoulder shaking dance so funny, and I felt a sense of relief as if my brain had disappeared.

Xu Ye also posted a video online.

"Shoulder Shake Dance Instructional Video."

At the beginning of this video, he just teaches everyone the movements normally.

Suddenly, the scene changed and turned to the MV of the song "Never Give Up on You".

I wouldn’t dare say that everyone who saw the video was fooled by this trick, but at least 99 percent of them were fooled.

This teaching video was released both domestically and abroad.

Foreign netizens really can't hold it anymore.

"Is this singer from China sick?"

"I really wanted to learn the shoulder dance."

"Chinese people, please keep this singer under control and don't let him out!"

"China does not support idle people."

As for domestic netizens, they have become accustomed to it and this is not the first time they have been deceived.

But soon, Xu Ye started a topic online.

"Let's shake our shoulders together."

Due to limited time, he could only perform a Forbidden City version of the shoulder-shaking dance to promote Chinese culture, but the power of netizens is infinite.

After this topic was raised, netizens from all over the country participated in it.

There is a city version of the shoulder-shaking dance, which introduces various attractions in the city.

There is a college version of the shoulder shake dance, where students introduce some places in the school.

Some official accounts also joined the fun and shook their shoulders together.

The song "Coincidance" also topped the global music charts.

The songs composed by Xu Ye also swept the world and set off a trend.

This led to some growth in the overseas box office of "Kung Fu", which reached more than 50 million US dollars.

This is the best result achieved by Chinese films overseas in the past decade.

Moreover, the film received very high reviews overseas, which made some people who said at the time that "Kung Fu" would definitely fail in box office and reputation when it was released overseas shut up.

Time flies quickly and soon it is October. Because of the National Day, the song "My Motherland" can be heard everywhere on the Internet.

Even though Xu Ye is busy filming on the set now, there is news about him on the Internet.

"Calabash Brothers" has also passed the review. This time, "Calabash Brothers" will still be broadcast on the children's channel of CCTV, and the online broadcast platform is Xiaolan Station.

Since the previous collaborations went very smoothly, Xiaolanzhan will pay for any animation works released by Dream Building Studio without hesitation. If there are other platforms that want to compete with it, then it will pay more.

Unlike before, Xiaolanzhan has been doing very well in recent years. When discussing cooperation, the staff of Xiaolanzhan took the initiative to ask Xu Ye whether he was interested in coming to Xiaolanzhan to participate in the New Year's Eve party this year.

Xu Ye was also a little surprised when he heard it.

New Year's Eve parties in this world are basically held by TV stations, and there is no precedent for video websites to hold a New Year's Eve party.

However, on Earth, Bilibili has indeed started holding New Year's Eve parties in recent years, and they are quite good.

The style of Bilibili’s New Year’s Eve Gala is also different from that of other TV stations.

In this world, Xiaolanzhan is indeed planning to hold a New Year's Eve party this year, and the chief director of this New Year's Eve party is Yu Wei, an old acquaintance of Xu Ye.

Yu Wei now has a lot of experience in hosting parties, and this is the first time she has received such a job, hosting a New Year's Eve party for a video platform.

Originally Xu Ye was worried that he didn't have time, so he said he would think about it.

But soon, Yu Wei came to the door directly.

As a god-level director in the variety show circle, Yu Wei’s current status is very special, and there are not many stars that she can personally invite.

This time, Yu Wei also came to visit the set.

As a result, when she arrived at the crew, she saw Xu Ye dressed as Sun Wukong.

"What's your style?" Yu Wei asked curiously.

Xu Ye did not make any news about "A Chinese Odyssey" public online, and did not even release the final makeup photos.

Yu Wei had no idea what this movie was about, and was very surprised to see them dressed like this.

"I play the role of Sun Wukong." Xu Ye said.

Yu Wei looked at Xiao Xu beside her and asked, "What role does your girlfriend play?"

"Play my girlfriend." Xu Ye said.

Yu Wei was confused for a moment.

Your girlfriend is playing your girlfriend, does she have to play Sun Wukong’s girlfriend?

Sun Wukong is in love?

This is too explosive.

Yu Wei didn't even dare to imagine what the plot of this movie would be like.

There are many film and television adaptations of "Journey to the West" on the market, but none of them adds emotional scenes to Sun Wukong.

"As expected of Xu Ye." Yu Wei sighed in her heart.

She did not come to the crew empty-handed, she brought some gifts for the leading actors and treated everyone in the crew to juice. Xu Ye took her to the lounge and served her a plate of watermelon.

Xu Ye introduced: "The taste of this watermelon is exactly the same as watermelon juice. It can be said to be a substitute for watermelon juice. I call this solid watermelon juice. You can try it."

Yu Wei was in a trance for a moment after hearing these words.

She knew that when she came to chat with Xu Ye, there would definitely be some silence, but she just had to get used to it.

After the two chatted for a while, Yu Wei told Xu Ye about the Xiaolanzhan New Year’s Eve party.

Xiaolanzhan’s New Year’s Eve party has a special feature, which is that it is targeted at young people.

Unlike TV stations, especially CCTV’s New Year’s Eve Gala, which targets audiences of most ages.

When it comes to program selection, Xiaolanzhan has fewer restrictions.

Yu Wei smiled and said, "Xu Ye, if you come, you can be the planner of the party. If you want to do any program, it will be more convenient."

The idea proposed by Yu Wei can be said to have hit Xu Ye's pain point.

She had seen Xu Ye on some CCTV evening parties before, and she felt that Xu Ye was obviously not relaxed, or could not relax.

The stage of CCTV is still very serious.

Or maybe it’s because the mature woman knows more and she easily made Xu Ye fall in love with her.

Xu Ye asked: "You mean, part of the evening party program can be completely handed over to me and planned by me?"

Yu Wei smiled and said, "That's right. In addition to your performance fee, we will also pay you for planning. It's up to you to choose."

Xu Ye asked again: "You can do anything you want, and you are not allowed to regret it."

Yu Wei's heart skipped a beat.

Too bad, it's too early to say anything.

Judging from Xu Ye’s expression, the situation is not good.

Maybe Xu Ye had already thought about what kind of program he wanted to make, but just never had the chance.

But now that things have come to this, Yu Wei will not go back on her word.

What's the harm in letting Xu Ye do it?

The two then briefly talked about the ideas for the New Year's Eve party program.

On the show, Xu Ye did have a lot of ideas.

Many of his works can be derived into a series of stage performances.

Xu Ye also wanted to do something different for this New Year’s Eve party.

"Since it's a program for young people, let's include more traditional culture," said Xu Ye.

Yu Wei's mind was full of questions again.

Do you know that young people nowadays don’t pay much attention to traditional culture?

She still asked, "So what are you going to do on stage?"

"Just combine traditional culture with the animation of the Dream Building Studio and we can make a program. And then combine it with pop music and it will be another program..." Xu Ye began to tell Yu Wei.

Yu Wei just felt that Xu Ye had a lot of ideas. She could understand what Xu Ye meant, but how could this be combined?

Combining it with music is easy to understand, but combining it with animation is beyond her imagination.

Finally, Yu Wei could only smile and say, "Just keep it in mind."

After discussing the New Year’s Eve party with Yu Wei, Xu Ye also started to make arrangements.

For such a large-scale evening party, there are usually several program planners. Yu Wei directly delegated power to Xu Ye, so Xu Ye had a lot of freedom.

He can arrange the performers and arrange the content of the show by himself, and the director team will do their best to cooperate.

“The Calabash Brothers is about to be aired. If there is enough time, I can also make a program related to the Calabash Brothers.” Xu Ye said in his heart.

Soon, the day of "Calabash Brothers" broadcast arrived.

There are two most popular "Calabash Brothers" movies on Earth. The first one is called "Calabash Brothers", which is also the story of "Calabash Brothers saving grandfather" that everyone usually jokes about.

The second sequel is called "The Little Calabash Brothers", which tells the story of the battle of wits and courage between the snake spirit's sister and the calabash brothers in the first film.

During production, Xu Ye put these two animations together and collectively called them "Calabash Brothers".

The reason why the producer Shangmei made a sequel was because the performance of the first part was really good, so they made a sequel.

This problem does not exist for Xu Ye, so he just puts them together.

To this day, "Calabash Brothers" remains a classic cartoon.

The unique painting style in the film has also become a classic in the history of Chinese animation.

On the Internet, Dream Building Studio has announced the news that "Calabash Brothers" will be broadcast soon and has also released the poster.

The poster shows the classic photo of the seven gourd brothers standing on a lotus platform.

After this poster was released, netizens were full of questions.

The main reason is that the shape is so unique.

The character has a gourd on his head and the clothes he wears are also rather strange.

"This is Xu Ye's new animation. Why does it look so funny?"

"Besides, these characters look exactly the same, except for the color of their clothes. This is just fooling people."

"Is Dream Building Studio starting to make shoddy products to make money?"

There are endless voices on the Internet.

This is normal. Nowadays, cartoon characters should look different.

The seven gourd brothers only have clothes of different colors, and anyone who sees them would find them somewhat unreliable.

However, soon after, Dream Building Studio posted another Weibo post.

"This animation belongs to the Sunny Childhood Theater animation series. It is also the last of the five animations in this big studio's five-year plan. Sunny Childhood, quality guaranteed."

However, this clarifying Weibo post did not shut up the trolls.

"Those TV series that are considered bad by everyone are actually good films by the distributors."

"Whether the quality is good or not is not up to you to decide, it is up to the audience to decide."

"I feel sick when I see these seven topless characters. I've reported it. Such animations should not be put on the shelves!"

Seeing this situation, Dream Building Studio simply stopped caring and let the work speak for itself.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, "Calabash Brothers" officially started broadcasting on CCTV Children's Channel.
