Entertaining Children

  Chapter 450 Making a piano

  After finishing military training and returning to school, September is about to come to an end, followed by the long National Day holiday in October.

  There was only one day between returning to school and the National Day holiday. There is no class for freshman students on this day, because the class has not yet been selected. It is precisely this day that the school arranges for freshmen to choose courses. After choosing a class, it will be closed. After the National Day holiday is over, the school's classes will officially start. Freshmen after a month of military training can just take advantage of the week's long vacation to take a good rest and recover, and welcome the university courses with a better physical and mental state.

  The selection of courses in the school is not complicated. The required courses were not available. Xiao Yao had planned for the elective courses and did not choose teachers, so he quickly completed his task of selecting courses. Theoretically speaking, freshman students can start their vacation after they choose a course, so Xiao Yao also actively contacted Fang Still and asked him what needs to be known about what happened within this month.

  In the month when Xiao Yao went to military training, many things really happened, but the place that happened was not in China, but in the United States.

  The most important thing is naturally his spoof video of "American Airlines Broken My Guitar". When I heard from Fang still that American Airlines had publicly apologized and promised to compensate for his guitar, Xiao Yao, who had already prepared for this, didn't seem very excited. After all, he did this deliberately, and what he wanted was This effect. But when Xiao Yao heard that a large number of Huaxia passengers had boycotted American Airlines because of this video, and that American Airlines' stock price had fallen for three consecutive weeks, Xiao Yao was a little surprised. The power of this video is much stronger than that of a previous Canadian musician.

  Compared with the video in the previous life, in addition to the joining of big-name celebrities such as Keith, Keith and Betty’s promotion of Xiao Yao during the interview also played a big role in it. The author of the song "IMMORTALS", a talented photographer who participated in the Eva show when he was ten years old, even if Xiao Yao is not an American, he quickly became popular in the United States. Then the American media revealed some of Xiao Yao's achievements in China, making his genius image even more aroused in the United States.

   Then, the documentary-style MV of "Sugar" by the band "Daydream" was officially released. Once the MV was released, this particular style attracted the attention of American fans. Because watching the whole MV, it makes everyone feel that it is very real. Even though they weren't originally fans of "Daydream", after the surprise of the "Daydream" raid at the wedding that day, the six couples and many relatives and friends present became hard-core fans of "Daydream". As soon as the MV was released, they each posted text and pictures on their social accounts to prove the authenticity of the content of the MV. Especially the last couple of dancers, the two of them themselves have many fans.

   Actually, it is not a scene performed by an actor, but a real wedding scene? A rock band, not to mention such a sweet heart-warming song, but also did such a loving and heart-warming thing. American fans' admiration for "Daydream" reached a peak suddenly, and fans also skyrocketed. When fans praised the heart-warming practice of "Daydreaming" on the Internet, the media once again found Keith to interview the story behind this MV.

Just as many fans are surprised, a rock band, with such a heart-warming song, doing such a heart-warming thing, and so creatively recording him into a MV, this is nothing like a "daydream". The previous style does not match.

  In an interview with this MV, Keith Craig also told the media the original cause of the MV. Including that I was invited by a friend to perform at a friend’s friend’s wedding, and I asked Xiao Yao, who was a guest at home, to help write the song. Then Xiao Yao not only wrote such a song for them, but also designed the whole thing and the whole day. MV shooting. And Keith Craig also pointed out that the young man in the MV who was in charge of communicating with the person in charge of the wedding was Xiao Yao. He directed the itinerary and specific operating procedures that day, and can be regarded as the executive director of their documentary MV shooting.

Only then did the public know that not only the song "sugar" was written by Xiao Yao who helped "Daydream", even the idea of ​​raiding the wedding scene and the idea of ​​making the MV came from that person. The young genius of China. Speaking of which, the six couples who have experienced the most memorable weddings in their lives should be most grateful to not Keith Craig and Daydream, but the Chinese genius. It’s no wonder that Keith Craig’s family participated in Xiao Yao’s spoofing American Airlines video, and even their daughter, who usually covers the media and the public, also participated in Xiao Yao’s spoofing video. , Contributed her debut in front of the camera.

  As these behind-the-scenes were exposed in the media, Xiao Yao, who had just begun to cool off the American Airlines video, became popular again because of the popularity of "Daydream" and the "sugar" MV.

  After the spoof of American Airlines videos became popular, American media once came to China to interview Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao was in military training and could not be interviewed, so the American reporters had no choice but to go back. After "sugar" became popular, Xiao Yao's popularity in the United States increased again. The two things combined, and more American media wanted to interview him. However, those American reporters who have been here once know that Xiao Yao’s military training will last for a month, and that they cannot accept interviews before that. They also learned from China’s colleagues that Xiao Yao doesn’t like to be interviewed by the media. So this time No more rashly sent people over, but Xiao Yao's agent still sent an interview invitation. If Xiao Yao accepts, they will send someone over again.

  In addition to the media who are chasing hot news, there are companies that want to find Xiao Yao and want to make news. This company is certainly not American Airlines. Xiao Yao said that his guitar was damaged by their bellman, and he wrote the song and made the video before he made the complaint to no avail before it was posted on the Internet. It would be good if he could accept their apology, and would not stand up and say good things to them. . So they were hurt by a video of Xiao Yao, and they wished to be as far away from Xiao Yao as possible.

Other airlines publicly said that it is a booze to ask Xiao Yao to fly for free. Xiao Yao will not go to fly for a trip to cooperate with their propaganda. They only need to pay attention to the passenger list of their China branch, and wait for Xiao Yao to really need it. It won't be too late to find him when you take the international flight again.

  It is the manufacturer of the damaged guitar that Xiao Yao is really more eager and sincere in sending someone to find Xiao Yao. In that video, Xiao Yao showed up with the broken guitar several times, and the brand logo on the guitar was not intentionally blocked. With the popularity of the video, it can be regarded as a global experience for their guitar brand. Effective free publicity.

  They once publicly stated that they would help Xiao Yao repair the damaged guitar for free. However, as the media successively exposed his "IMMORTALS" author, "sugar" author, and the youngest age when the most single-time award in China's domestic music awards, these highlights the identity of music talent, this brand also recognizes this China's music genius The future achievements in music are limitless. So they didn't talk about repairs. They simply sent a very experienced guitar maker to China to make an exclusive guitar for Xiao Yao, and use this to help their brand once again.

   Xiao Yao immediately responded after listening to Fang Still’s report. Xiao Yao is naturally not interested in interviews by American media. After all, I am a Chinese native, not based in the United States, and have no plans to perform in the United States in the near future. No matter how popular it is in the United States at present, it is useless. Therefore, all the interview requests from the American media to Xiao Yao simply refused.

   Xiao Yao is very interested in the fact that the guitar brand sent a master to make his own guitar. As a singer who can perform live, the guitar is like a weapon in the hands of a warrior. Now there is a world-class guitar maker from a world-class brand to make his own guitar. Xiao Yao naturally wants it.

  It happens to be the National Day holiday and I have a lot of free time, so Xiao Yao immediately replied to Fang Still, saying that he would go to see the master guitar maker in person.

  Fang is still Xiao Yao’s agent and assistant, and he knows Xiao Yao’s character and preferences very well. When the guitar maker came to China, Fang still personally went to the airport to pick up the plane. After explaining to the guitar maker named Nicholas Cross, Xiao Yao’s difficulties in military training and unable to leave the barracks, this For some time, I have been carefully arranging this master’s travel itinerary in China. It is estimated that Xiao Yao’s military training is about to end. She also accompanied the master to China. In the past two days, arrangements were made for someone to accompany the master. When traveling in Shanghai, it is really convenient for Xiao Yao to meet the master guitar maker.

   Hearing Fang Still’s arrangement, Xiao Yao’s happy partner still had a good compliment, and immediately asked Fang to still drive to the school to pick him up, and to wait for him at the hotel of the master guitar maker.

  The master guitar maker had a very happy time in China. The task arranged by the company is to make a guitar for a so-called Chinese music genius, including travel expenses, board and lodging, and no time limit. After coming to China, although he did not see the music genius, his agent was very respectful and polite to him, and arranged for people to take him to travel around China every day, so he felt that this work was like coming It’s like traveling at public expense in China, a mysterious ancient civilization. It’s so fun to have fun.

At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, when Cross returned to the hotel where he was staying, he bid farewell to the tour guide who accompanied him to play today, and prepared to go back to the room to change his clothes, and then go to the hotel bar for a drink, ending another pleasant day I saw the agent of the talented musician in the hotel lobby. Looking to the side, he also found that the person sitting next to her was the master of his trip to China, the talented musician. Before coming, he also watched that spoof video and remembered Xiao Yao's looks. Although Xiao Yao was a lot darker than the video, he recognized it at a glance.

"Hello Mr. Cross! This is Xiao Yao! You can call me Yang!" Xiao Yao also saw a picture of the guitar maker at Fang Dian, so when Cross entered the hotel lobby, he stared at Xiao Yao at the hotel door I also found him, and immediately got up and walked over to him and stretched out his hand to say hello.

   "Hello," Nicholas Cross stretched out his hand and shook Xiao Yao, and said with a smile, "I'm Nicholas Cross, I'm here to make a guitar for you."

   "Welcome to Huaxia very much," Xiao Yao said, "and thank you very much for coming here to make a guitar for me."

  "Go to my room and talk about making guitars." Cross invited. People coming and going in this lobby is not a place to talk and chat.

  "Is it too late? Will it interrupt your rest?" Xiao Yao said, "Actually, I just came over today to say hello and get to know you."

"It's okay, I didn't rest so early." Cross smiled, "We can share some ideas today, and the specific production will start tomorrow." Cross's work attitude is still very serious, otherwise it will not be a world-class one. Master guitar maker. When Xiao Yao is away, he can relax and play everywhere, but since Xiao Yao has appeared, he wants to get into work as soon as possible. Besides, he has been playing in China for a long time, and he also started to miss his family in the United States.
