Entertaining Children

  Chapter 434 Raid the wedding scene

  In less than half an hour, Xiao Yao wrote the lyrics and music of the entire song.

Since Xiao Yao was writing while playing the guitar, Xiao Yao, who kept recalling the original songs of his previous life, was constantly revising the song and lyrics, so he watched the whole birth of the song and Keith Craig and Betty Belette thought that Xiao Yao's song was written now. A song for half an hour, Keith Craig and Betty Belet both opened their mouths wide in surprise, with unbelievable faces. Only Sun Tingting, who was next to her, had a calm expression. She had already seen Xiao Yao's song writing.

Keith Craig and Betty Belet, who interrupted and heard the melody and lyrics of this song during Xiao Yao’s writing, already thought this song was very good. When Xiao Yao finished writing all of them, they were holding the guitar. After sing the song completely after imitating Keith Craig’s voice, Keith Craig had completely fallen in love with the song, and immediately decided to buy it. , Put it in his band’s new album.

  What has been discussed before, buying the copyright of the song is naturally not a problem. Based on the relationship between Xiao Yao and Craig, as long as Xiao Yao reached a verbal agreement, the contract and other formalities would not be delayed. Now Keith Craig’s first task is to gather the band members for rehearsals. , To prepare for tomorrow's wedding performance.

   "Great! This will definitely give Ollie a surprise." Keith Craig happily kissed his wife and said excitedly, "I have to gather the band brothers and rehearse in the afternoon."

   "Young, we are rehearsing in the studio in downtown Los Angeles in the afternoon. Do you want to come together?" After calling the band members one by one, Keith Craig turned around and asked Xiao Yao.

  Xiao Yao first glanced at Sun Tingting, and saw that she smiled and nodded, then turned to answer Keith Craig, “Okay, I actually have mature ideas about the arrangement of this song.”

"You've even thought about the arrangement?" Keith Craig was surprised again, and then thought that the lyrics and arrangement of "Immortals" "IMMORTALS" were all done by Xiao Yao, this one. It is also a song written by Xiao Yao, and it seems that it is not too surprising that he thinks about the arrangement.

   "Well, then you will save us a lot of time." Keith Craig smiled.

   "I have a question to ask you," Xiao Yao looked at Keith Craig and said, "Tomorrow's wedding, are you a wedding guest or just a performer?"

"It's just a guest performer," Keith Craig said. "The groom is a friend of my friend, but the groom and I don't know each other. In fact, neither the groom nor the bride knows that our band will appear at their wedding tomorrow. My friend didn't tell him, and gave him a surprise when he thought of it."

   "In other words, for the wedding of your friend's friend tomorrow, you will be there halfway. You don't need to arrive in advance to prepare. You can leave as long as you finish the performance?" Xiao Yao confirmed.

"In theory, yes." Keith Craig nodded, looked at Sun Tingting next to him, and then asked, "Do you want to see an American wedding? I can tell my friend. , Add you... and your girlfriend to the guest list. You can join him as his companions to attend the ceremony and see what a traditional American wedding looks like."

   "No, I'm not curious about American traditional weddings." Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled, "Do you plan to make a MV for this song? I have an idea about the MV for this song."

"MV?" Keith Craig asked in confusion. "Have you filmed before?" As far as he knows, at least "Immortals" did not film the MV for "IMMORTALS", the only version of that song. The official MV was made directly from the animated film clips of "Junior Volunteers".

"I've filmed it." Xiao Yao nodded, "During the year I returned to China, I released a music album and filmed a lot of music videos. In fact, I didn't just star in, but also did it. The screenwriter and director of my own song MV."

  "The MV writer and director?" Betty Belet was surprised this time, "Do you want to develop into the film and television industry?"

"Actually, I have always been in China's film and television industry." Xiao Yao smiled, "I remember Yin Xi told you that I was already a drama actor when I was eight years old. When I was fourteen years old, I was still a drama actor. I have filmed TV series. When I was filming the MV last year, I had the idea of ​​being a screenwriter and director, and I have already tried it. First, the MV. During the summer vacation, I have already completed a ten-minute short film. Do post-production."

   "Wow~ Every time you meet, you will surprise me." Betty Belet sighed, "No wonder Yin and Qin said you were "YaoNie" back then."

   "Unbelievable," Keith Craig also gave a thumbs up, "So, you want to help our band shoot the MV for this song? Can you see your previous work?"

"There is no offense." Keith Craig continued, "I can buy a song by myself, but if I want to shoot a MV, it's not just about the music, but also about the shooting. It's not I have the final say. We have a dedicated team to evaluate and select people."

"I didn't care." Xiao Yao waved his hand and said, "If you want to watch my MV, there is it online. There is a MV for a song called "Faded" on the PV website. Two versions, an electronic version, and a string The music version was all made by me. I wrote, directed and acted, and I was the one with the hood and the hoodie inside."

"But I am not going to be a director to help you shoot the MV," Xiao Yao continued, "I will start school in a few days, and I may not have enough time to go back to China to go to university. I just want to provide you with it. An idea."

   "What do you think? Let's listen." Keith Craig and Betty Belet asked with interest.

   "That is like a documentary, using documentary techniques to shoot." Xiao Yao said.

  "Documentary?" Keith Craig and Betty Belet were a little puzzled.

"It is to use the video clips of real events to make the video material for the MV," Xiao Yao began to explain, "I have a song called "Song for Whom". For the MV of that song, I use Huaxia Network. The video clips of the real events collected on the Internet, and then the music of that song, became a MV of a song. Of course, this MV is invisible on the PV website, I am Upload it to our Huaxia video website."

  "Do you mean that we collect videos of real events on the Internet to make the video material for this song's MV?" Keith Craig asked.

"No, I've done this once, and it won't be so interesting to do it again." Xiao Yao shook his head. "This time we don't collect videos from the Internet, but instead record real event videos ourselves as video materials. Then Match this song to make a MV."

   "Record it yourself?" Keith Craig said, "What do you want to do, tell me in detail."

  "Aren’t you going to perform at the wedding tomorrow?" Xiao Yao said, "How is your friend going to let you appear? I will introduce you to the wedding halfway through, and then let you walk on the stage? Welcome mysterious guests?"

   "Yes," Keith Craig nodded, "Isn't it about recording MV material? Why did you say that you are back to the wedding?"

"I don't think this kind of appearance is interesting enough, nor pleasant enough." Xiao Yao said, "We can gather a group of people, and suddenly rush in in the middle of the wedding, without any introduction, pull up a curtain on the scene, and then you quietly drilled. Go behind the curtain to prepare. Then invite the bride and groom to the curtain, and suddenly the curtain is pulled down, and you start singing directly. This is a much more pleasant surprise than your friend’s introduction."

"It seems to be really better." Keith Craig touched his chin for a while, nodded in agreement, "I can tell my friend in advance and ask him to contact the wedding planning company to modify the plan and pull it on the spot. The curtain comes out."

"No, don't look for a wedding planner," Xiao Yao shook his head. "We will bring people to do the curtain-drawing work. It's best to let your friends not know about it. Technically, you often hold concerts, and you should have this aspect too. Can you build the props on site? If the time is too tight and you can’t find it temporarily today, I will do it too. It’s not difficult for you to find a few skilled workers this afternoon, and I can guide them to complete it."

   "Why?" Keith Craig asked in a puzzled way. "The wedding scene itself needs to be arranged. The planning company has specialized talents. Wouldn't it be more convenient for them to arrange it?"

"Because we will not only go to that wedding tomorrow." Xiao Yao smiled, "Didn't you leave after the performance? So your friend’s friend’s wedding is only the first. Let’s not say hello, and we will raid the wedding scene and rush in directly. The curtain, and then you sneak in, pull the curtain, sing, send blessings to the new couple, and then leave. I need you to find someone to find out how many weddings are taking place in downtown Los Angeles tomorrow, and how long the wedding will last. Go, how many places you can go to. The most important thing is that we will take the photographers and take photos of all tomorrow’s actions. Our schedule for tomorrow’s day will be the video material for this MV. Of course, we can also include it. Some wedding scene sounds, in addition to the music of this song during post-production, some of these scene sounds can also be appropriately interspersed, which will look more sensational."

  This idea is also derived from the MV of this song in the previous life. It's just that the MV for this song in the previous life was filmed, and now, Xiao Yao intends to let Keith Craig play it for real.

   "I like this idea!" Betty Belet raised her hands in favor on the spot.

  "Raid the wedding scene and send blessings to the couple. I also like this crazy idea!" Keith Craig agreed.

"Photographer, technical worker, I will arrange, I will ensure that I will contact you in half a day. You only need to practice singing in the afternoon." Betty Belet took the initiative to share the task and said, "But I may need Yang to be with me. How to make the screen, what equipment is needed, and so on, I still need Yang to make up his mind."

   "I can tell Keith about my thoughts on the arrangement now," Xiao Yao said, "It's no problem to help you prepare in the afternoon."

   "What about tomorrow? Are you acting with us?" Keith Craig asked.

  "Tomorrow is the key. Such a fun thing is his idea. How could he miss it?" Sun Tingting smiled and interjected, "It's not just him, I want to go with you tomorrow."

   "Of course there is no problem." Keith Craig said happily.

"One more thing," Xiao Yao raised a finger again, a little worried. "We just rushed to someone's wedding scene, will we be stopped by security guards? More importantly, let's rush in. Will it be typed out afterwards?"

"You can rest assured about this." Keith Craig smiled confidently, "If it really doesn't work, let's show our identity. In the United States, there are really not many people who don't know "daydreams", at most. That is, the effect of surprise is almost nothing."

"Also, in terms of fighting, don't we still have you?" Betty Belet also smiled, "I heard students call you "Kung Fu Yang" at West Bridge Middle School last year. I heard that even basketball in the school The captain is not your opponent."

   "Do you want me to even do the job of bodyguards?" Xiao Yao smiled helplessly, "Even if I can fight, I can't protect so many people."
