Entertaining Children

  Chapter 437 American Airlines broke my guitar

  Six weddings, the MV material is enough, but this day, it also makes the entire team exhausted. Therefore, although it was not too late when they left from the last wedding, the entire team did not find another place to celebrate the success of breaking into six weddings in one day alone. After packing up the equipment, everyone disbanded. Each went home to rest.

  Even though Xiao Yao, who was the on-site conductor the previous day, was busy, in the end he was quite interested in a fight with the professional dancer’s groom. Early the next morning, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting still showed up at Keith Craig's house in good spirits.

  In the previous day's action, the two ladies, Betty Belet and Sun Tingting, were not assigned specific tasks, but followed them through the whole process, so they were in good spirits. When Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting rang the doorbell of Keith Craig's house, it was also Betty Belet who came out and opened the door. At this time, Keith Craig was still sleeping in bed.

  However, there are guests at home, and Xiao Yao must have discussed with them when he came over, so Keith Craig had no choice but to get up.

   "I had a busy day yesterday and came here so early, aren't you tired?" Keith Craig, who had finished washing, yawned and greeted Xiao Yao listlessly.

Although Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting refused their couple’s invitation to live at home, they were arranged to be in a hotel in Beverly Hills not far from their home, but they visited the house so early in the morning to let Keith Cray. Grid was a little surprised.

   "Sorry, I'm sorry to disturb you." Xiao Yao said embarrassedly, "But I will return to China soon, but I still have things to do, so I have to hurry up."

   "Is there anything to do?" Betty Belet brought a few cups of coffee from the kitchen and handed them to the three of them separately, "Is it about the post-production of the MV for your song?"

"Thank you," Xiao Yao, who received Betty's coffee, nodded and said thank you, then shook his head, "It's not about the post-production of that song's MV. "Daydream" has no official recording studio for that song. Version, without the official audio, post-production cannot start at all. As I said, I will go back to school in China soon, and I don’t have time to help you post-production of the MV. Anyway, I have already told you about the idea, and the material is also The filming has been completed, and when you have recorded the official version of the audio, just find a professional post-production team to do it slowly."

   "Then what else do you have to do?" Keith Craig drank a few sips of coffee and became more energetic. He sat upright and asked Xiao Yao.

"I have a song I want to shoot a MV," Xiao Yao said, "I want to find you to help me find someone to form a filming team. In Los Angeles, I know you most and you have a wide network of contacts. I can only ask you for help. ."

"Ahem~" Keith Craig and Betty Betty, who were drinking coffee, were almost choked by Xiao Yao's words, and looked at him in surprise, "Are you going to shoot another MV? We heard that right? ?"

"No, you heard that right." Xiao Yao smiled, "Actually, I came to Los Angeles this time to take my girlfriend to take her to travel to relax. Their school gave her a week off. When her vacation is over, I It’s almost time to return to China. We’ve been in Los Angeles for two days before, and we went to Calabasas for another day, and then we went to the wedding yesterday. There are three days left, and she has no other special places to go. We I plan to use the remaining three days to shoot an MV."

"Three days? Is it enough?" Keith Craig frowned and asked, "Our band has made a lot of MVs before. From pre-production to post-production, no one can be completed in three days. of.

"It's not three days, it's two and a half days. Today, on the 27th, we will fly back to New York on the afternoon of the 29th at the latest, and Tiana will be back to school on the 30th." Xiao Yao corrected, "I plan to be one day today. Finish the preparation work and finish the shooting of the material in the next day and a half. As for post-production, I can take it back to Huaxia and do it myself. My song will not be released or hit the charts, and the songs and MV will be posted on the website for free. Therefore, the quality of the MV is not high, and it can even be said that it is not an official MV, just a song video. Yesterday we were able to shoot the video material needed for the MV "sugar" in a day, then a day and a half There should be no problem with the material for this video of me."

"If you don't publish or hit the charts, just shoot a video for free for netizens. What do you want to do?" Keith Craig looked at Xiao Yao suspiciously, "What song is that? Can I listen to it first? ?"

   "Of course," Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, "I need a guitar."

  This time Keith Craig did not ask everyone to go to the music room. He went upstairs and brought Xiao Yao down with an acoustic guitar. He planned to sit comfortably on the sofa in the living room and listen.

   "My song is called "American Airlines Broken My Guitar", I just wrote it last night." Xiao Yao took the guitar and introduced it a little.

   "What does the name of the song mean?" Keith Craig and Betty Belet both stared. Listening to the title of the song, is Xiao Yao going to make trouble?

   "That's what the song's name says." Sun Tingting on the side smiled and said, "You'll know after listening."

   Xiao Yao took the guitar to pluck the strings and tried the audition, then waved his fingers to play. The tune is simple, but smooth and beautiful. Upon listening to Keith Craig, he realized that the song had a taste of American country music.

"I took a plane from Yanjing to New York and transferred in London on the way. During the transfer, a little girl next to me said to her mother, "Mom, look, what are they doing?" The mother looked at At a glance, he exclaimed, "Gosh, is this how they carry luggage? "I looked out the window of the plane and found that the movement of carrying luggage on the ground was very horrible. They were throwing suitcases. All the luggage seemed to be flying in the sky..."

   "What is this singing?" Keith Craig and Betty Belet looked at each other.

  "...American Airlines broke the guitar!"

  As the last chord swept through, Xiao Yao smiled and looked at the two sitting opposite and said, "How?"

   "You mean, what you sing in your song is true?" Keith Craig looked at Xiao Yao.

   "Of course," Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone, called up the video and photo interface, and handed it to Keith Craig. "Show you a video and some photos."

When they watched it, Xiao Yao also began to explain: “This video was taken when I came to New York and was transferring in London. Several American Airlines baggage officers performed brutal operations on passengers’ checked luggage. Those pictures The photo is what I saw when I arrived in New York, picked up my luggage, and opened the checked guitar case."

  "Do you mean that the American Airlines bellman manipulated brutally and broke your guitar?" Betty Belet looked at Xiao Yao and asked, "Did you not complain?"

"Of course there are complaints." Xiao Yao said, "In fact, I have not only written a complaint letter, and I have also made complaints. But American Airlines' New York branch, London branch and London airport have always been there. I know that the bellboy is an employee of American Airlines, so the complaint letter and the complaint phone number are mainly from American Airlines. But after so many days, American Airlines don’t say to bear the responsibility, it is responsible for compensation, and reply to I didn’t even apologize in my email. No way, I can only use my own way to get their attention."

"Originally, I wanted to go through legal channels to fight American Airlines." Xiao Yao continued, "Through the criminal lawyer Ms. Veronica Quinn you introduced to me, I asked a business person in their law firm. The lawyer has consulted. The lawyer told me that in the United States, litigation with large companies is a protracted war and a war of attrition. Whether you win or lose in the end, it will be a very long process. Many people will be delayed in the process of litigation. It’s broken. I’m not an American, and I can’t stay in the United States for a long time to spend with them."

"Later I thought, why not do this in the way I am best? What is my best? Writing songs! So I wrote this song last night." Xiao Yao continued, "American Airlines is For giant listed companies, they need to maintain their image in the eyes of the public. As long as the song is circulated on the Internet, I don’t believe American Airlines can still maintain such a superior attitude. In order to make this song better circulated, I also want Take a video that tells it the same story and upload it to the Internet along with the song."

  It was not too late after returning to the hotel last night. Xiao Yao did follow up his complaint that the guitar was damaged. The results obtained are still unsatisfactory, and airlines are still making excuses. Xiao Yao, who was angry, suddenly remembered that a similar incident had happened in his previous life.

  In the previous life, it was also because of the barbaric operation of the bellman that a Canadian musician had his guitar broken when he was on a plane. After nine months of unsuccessful claims, he composed a song and made a music video and uploaded it to the Internet. Video quickly became popular on the Internet, and gained unimaginable hits in just a few days. The huge social influence it produced even led to the decline of airline stock prices, and the airlines had to bow their heads to admit their mistakes under the pressure of public opinion.

  Since the Canadian musician in his previous life can do it, Xiao Yao believes he can do the same. Even if it wasn't for compensation, I had to give it this tone no matter what. However, Xiao Yao does not have the patience of the Canadian musician in his previous life who spent nine months defending his rights. So Xiao Yao wrote the song that night. The title, music style and melody are all borrowed from the songs of the Canadian musician in the previous life. Because Xiao Yao’s departure point, transit point, and destination, the passengers around him remind him that they are all different from the Canadian musician in his previous life. It is impossible to drive from London to the United States, so Xiao Yao could not copy the original song. The lyrics are just another effort to rewrite the lyrics with my own experience.

  After listening to Xiao Yao’s new song, Sun Tingting also knew about this. After learning that Xiao Yao had plans to make a video, Sun Tingting immediately said that she did not want to travel to other places to relax, and supported Xiao Yao to shoot this video first.

  So Xiao Yao decided to take advantage of these two days to shoot this video. After all, it’s an American airline. The flight attendants on the flight and Morton’s mother and daughter are all Americans, so it’s better to find Americans to take pictures on American soil.

   "This is going to do something!" Keith Craig and Betty Belet thought with some excitement.

  In the United States, the story of David and Goliath in the Bible is one of the favorite stories of many people. Although Keith and Betty are big stars, in front of them, an airline is still as big as Goliath in front of David. So after hearing about Xiao Yao's plan, both of them immediately expressed their support.

   "Sounds very interesting, we want to join. In addition to the shooting team, do you need actors? We can play for free." The couple said to Xiao Yao enthusiastically.
