Entertaining Children

   Chapter 737 I'm Afraid to Call the Police

  After finishing the soundtrack, Xiao Yao's tour of the crew for this day is all over. Next, it's the recording of the electronic music song and the MV shooting.

"Still, you don't need to go to the recording studio in the afternoon. There is another task for you." After lunch the next day after visiting Zhou Jingyi's crew, Xiao Yao found Fang Still and said, "I posted on the Internet the night before. I posted a video for recruiting MV actors. Some people should have sent emails to apply. I left my work email address. You help me filter the emails first, and filter out the advertising emails, spam emails and location distances that are not coming to the application. E-mails of candidates who are too far away from Los Angeles, who will definitely not be able to reach Los Angeles tomorrow, and those whose appearance is too special are filtered out. I will pick someone after the recording in the afternoon."

   "Understood." Fang still nodded, and then asked again: "How many new emails are there to filter?"

"I don't know," Xiao Yao shook his head, "The premise is that I haven't opened an email after I posted the video in the evening, but I want to use my charisma. After a day or two nights, I have to have a hundred to seal it. Right."

   "Okay, I get it. I'll go and see by myself." Fang still agreed.

  After Xiao Yao finished the explanation, he went back to his room and cleaned up briefly, ready to set off to the "Daydream" recording studio, but before he left the house, his room door was knocked.

   "What's the matter?" Xiao Yao opened the door and found Fang still standing outside the door, holding a laptop in his hand.

   "Did you just say how many new mails are in the mailbox?" Fang still smiled, but stared at Xiao Yao unkindly.

"It's estimated that there will be a hundred letters." Xiao Yao said, "What's wrong? There won't be even one hundred letters, right? Even if there are none, it doesn't matter. I just need nineteen people, not nineteen. Nothing?" Nathan Donnel has already replied. There are a total of eleven people on his parkour team who can participate in his MV shooting.

"Nineteen? More than three hundred times!" Fang still turned the laptop in his hand and turned the screen towards Xiao Yao, "Look at it for yourself! With so many emails, you let me go through it all afternoon? Exhausted me. It's not over yet!"

   "Fuck me!" Xiao Yao looked at the computer screen and was also startled. It clearly shows that the number of new mails is "6195"!

  "Why are there so many?" Xiao Yao said strangely, "I said that only 30 people are needed, and that the requirement is for people around Los Angeles, who can gather in Los Angeles tomorrow."

"I checked it online," Fang still said, "The video you posted the night before was posted on the PV with YRF's account? Some netizens revealed in the comments below the video that you are Y in YRF. I am a member of the founder team of Parkour. Now it has spread on the Internet, and almost everyone who plays parkour is discussing this matter online! I just read a few emails, and almost half of the emails did not come. I applied for it, but sent an email to ask if it was Y in YRF."

   "Oh!" Xiao Yao said suddenly, "It's okay! You don't care about all the emails that ask about this, just filter them out."

"This is okay, but even if you don’t count the identity confirmation emails, there should be 3,000 remaining emails, and I have to spend time to read the identity confirmation emails. I can’t finish it alone. Ah," Fang still said, "I still can't finish the task you gave me."

"Then you leave Minyi to help and screen mail with you." Xiao Yao said, "It doesn't matter if you can't finish the screening. I only need 19 actors, and you can help me choose dozens of places to live near Los Angeles. Those who can look past your body and looks are fine. Don’t read the following emails if you can’t finish them. By the way, try to choose candidates of different races, skin tones, hair colors, and looks."

   "Okay!" Fang still said, "So what about discussing you as a parkour veteran on the Internet? Would you like to comment on social media and respond?"

"No! Even if I want to disclose the identity of YRF, I have to disclose it with Shishi, Xu Fei, and the three of us." Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "It's not a scandal. Let's talk about it online. You are busy with emails. Enough."

   "That's it, I rushed to the recording studio to record." Finally, Xiao Yao picked up his backpack and left the room.

After    and Xiao Siqi came to the "Daydream" recording studio, Xiao Yao found that Keith Craig and Liv Palemer were already waiting for him in the studio.

   "Do you mind if I come to the surveillance room?" Keith Craig asked with a smile when Xiao Yao arrived.

   "This is your place, of course I don't mind." Xiao Yao replied with a smile.

   "Are you ready?" Xiao Yao asked Liv Palmer who was standing aside again, "Have you opened your voice?"

"I have spoken, and I'm ready." Liv Palemer promised with a smile, and put a palm against her mouth, leaning closer to Xiao Yao and whispered, "Actually, I was in the recording studio yesterday. During the practice, Keith had already instructed me, and your father also told me some of your recording habits. I am very confident in myself now."

"It seems that when I went to the crew yesterday, these two were not idle!" Xiao Yao turned to look at Keith Craig and his father, then turned to smile at Liv Palemer. "It's good if you have confidence! Then let's start."

  Xiao Yao sat down in front of the console, while Liv Palmer went to the recording room briskly, put on the headphones and stood in front of the microphone.

"Okay, let's get started!" Xiao Yao put on the monitor headphones, called up the accompaniment saved in the device, and said to Liv Paremer through the communication microphone, and stretched out his finger to push up the volume of the accompaniment. , The play button is pressed.

  Although it is the first time to collaborate with Xiao Yao on a new song, Liv Palmer has listened to his previous "Faded" and "SingMeToSleep" many times, and has a certain understanding of his electronic song style. She got the score of the song the day before yesterday afternoon and became familiar with it. Yesterday, she practiced with the accompaniment in the recording studio for another day. Keith Craig has helped her point out and correct some obvious mistakes. Xiao Siqi’s point It also made her not unfamiliar with Xiao Yao, who was recording with Xiao Yao for the first time, so the whole recording process was very smooth.

  "Excellent!" After listening to the finished product with headphones for the last time, Xiao Yao gave Liv Palmer a thumbs up through the glass window, indicating that the recording is over and she can come out. The rest is some post-production work.

  Liv Paramo smiled and nodded, pushed the door and left the recording room, but didn't immediately return to the control room, but didn't know where he went.

  Xiao Yao didn’t care too much about this, and immediately started the overall post-modification work of the song.

   Including music albums and song albums, Xiao Yaoguang has already produced dozens of music works for himself, and his production experience at this time is no longer the same as before. So not only is the recording process of this song relatively fast, the post production is also completed very quickly. It took about two hours to complete the calculation. Xiao Yao finished recording the official version of the song, which is much more efficient than when he recorded "faded" for Gong Chen.

   "OK, done! Do you want to listen to it?" After Xiao Yao copied the finished product to a USB flash drive for backup, he turned and smiled and asked the two senior producers in the control room.

   "Okay!" Keith Craig and Shaw Siqi nodded together, and they were about to step forward. Although when Liv Palmer was recording, they also listened to it with the monitor headphones for a while, but the semi-finished product and the finished product without post-processing are different after all.

  But before they even started, the door of the control room was pushed open, and the three of them turned their heads and looked at the door.

  "Fuck me!" When they saw the person who came in, Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao and his son were shocked.

  The person who came in was wearing a black hooded sweater, his hat was tucked over his head, and his face was covered with a black elastic mask. The entire head showed only the area near the eyes.

  The person who came in was petite and empty-handed. This outfit looked like his image in the MV. Xiao Yao quickly realized that this was not a robbery. Logically speaking, it’s impossible for your own netizens and fans to know that they were recording in the "Daydream" recording studio. Xiao Yao thought of a possibility through the body of the other person, and tentatively asked: "Liv? How about you? What are you doing?"

  "It's me!" The visitor pulled down the mask on his face and put down the hat on his head. It turned out that it was Liv Palmer who disappeared after leaving the recording room. Apparently, after she left the recording room just now, she ran to the locker room to change her clothes.

"Didn't you say that this song is going to be filmed in the MV?" Liv Palemer smiled, "I wonder if I can also participate in the MV performance. I remember you said the MV and " The MVs of the two songs "Faded" and "SingMeToSleep" are related, and the styles are similar. I guess the costumes of the characters in that MV should be like this. You see, I even prepared the costumes myself. This image is okay. Is it?" As he said, Liv Palmer turned around in front of Xiao Yao deliberately.

   "Your idea?" Xiao Yao turned his head to look at Keith Craig. When Liv Palmer came in just now, only Keith Craig's expression was not surprised at all.

"Yes." Keith Craig nodded and admitted, "Of course, Liv also hopes to be able to participate in this MV performance. I don't know if your 30 actors have been found, but I think There are thirty actors, not just three. There shouldn’t be any problem with adding one, right?"

   "Of course there is no problem." Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, his eyes returned to Liv Palemer, "I agree!"

  Although Liv Palemer's height is slightly shorter, her figure is still well proportioned and she looks pretty. Not everyone in the MV needs to show parkour moves, and not everyone is masked and faceless throughout the whole process. Those are just most of them. In the video of recruiting actors, he emphasized the need for people who can parkour and most people will not show their faces. He just tells everyone the most basic requirements and lowers everyone's expectations, so that some people will not be dissatisfied because they can't show their faces.

After Xiao Yao agreed to Liv Palmer’s participation in the MV, Keith Craig and Liv Palmer both seemed very happy. After Xiao Yao listened to them, they also I feel very satisfied.

   By the time Xiao Yao returned to the hotel, it was already evening, and the clothes that Yin Xi had sent had arrived. Fang Ye and Pei Minyi had also helped him pick out many alternatives.

Xiao Yao first checked the clothes and masks sent by Yin Xi. Xiao Yao found that there were 35 sets in total. Yin Xi also sent five more spare sets. Based on the principle of making the best use of everything, Xiao Yao also temporarily decided on the number of actors to be filmed. Increased to thirty-six people. Nathan Donal’s team of eleven people, plus Liv Palmer who brought his own costume, means that Xiao Yao has to choose another twenty-four people from the candidates selected by Fang and Pei Minyi. , Reply to the email to inform them of the time and place of the gathering.

  At around nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Xiao Yao brought Fang Still and Pei Minyi to the agreed meeting place.

  Due to the large number of actors, Xiao Yao’s meeting place chosen by him is a public parking lot. Xiao Yao had just appeared at the entrance of the parking lot, and Keith Craig, who had arrived early with the filming team, immediately greeted him.

   "Yang, you say it again, how many actors do you need for this MV shooting?" Keith Craig did not say hello, but asked Xiao Yao with a weird look at the meeting.

"Thirty, oh no, count Liv, if you don't count me, there will be 36 people in total." Xiao Yao said, "Yin Xi sent five more sets of clothes, plus Liv who brought his own clothes, I will Six people have been added temporarily, is there any problem?"

"Of course there is a problem!" Keith Craig said, "The people inside are all actors you recruited, right? Let alone thirty-six, more than sixty-three, the bus we prepared simply can't fit! "

"Huh?" Xiao Yao was also stunned. "But the email notification was clearly only twenty-four, plus the eleven people and Liv in a parkour team I played with before. It should be only three. Sixteen! Is it possible that some organization has set up the meeting place here?"

"Other organization activities?" Keith Craig laughed. "You can go in and see for yourself! The filming team I invited was all taken aback. They kept asking me what big production I was, and I actually invited so many. actor."

   Xiao Yao stopped talking, and walked into the parking lot. After entering the parking lot, Xiao Yao found a large crowd of people in the dark, not to mention thirty-six and sixty-three, it is conservatively estimated that they are already over a hundred. And after only one glance, Xiao Yao knew that this was definitely not a collision with other organization activities, because most of these people were wearing black hooded sweaters and black masks on their faces.

   Seeing hundreds of people gathered here in black and masked faces, Xiao Yao felt that it was a miracle that passers-by did not call the police to call the police!

   "Which cars are ours?" Xiao Yao asked Keith Craig, turning his head.

   "Those!" Keith Craig pointed to a few cars.

  Xiao Yao picked the tallest bus, kicked his feet on the side door twice and jumped to the top of the bus, waving his arms and shouting loudly, "Hey, everyone, be quiet, listen to me!"

  Even without using any amplifying tools, as soon as Xiao Yao’s three-tone resonant drama came out, the voice was clearly spread in the parking lot, and everyone’s attention was quickly attracted.

   "Hello everyone, I’m Yang Xiao, the person who posted the video to recruit MV actors." Xiao Yao watched everyone quietly look at him, and then said loudly, "Are you all here to apply for the MV shooting?"

   "Wow, Young!"

   "It seems to be the guy in the video!"

"Yes!"

  Everyone yelled and replied.

"But what I said in the video is that 30 actors are needed, and there should only be more than 20 people who responded to my email!" Seeing everyone shouting "Yes", Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "We are going to give the actors a ride. The car can't fit so many people, so I only prepared more than 30 sets of costumes!"

   "It doesn't matter, we can all perform for free!"

   "You can add some more actors!"

   "We prepared the clothes ourselves, you don't need to prepare them!"

   "We drove here by ourselves, we can drive with you instead of your car!"

   "It doesn't matter if you don't have so many people, you can choose as many people as you want, and the rest will watch!"

  Everyone continued to shout.

  It turned out that many of the 24 people who responded to the email by Xiao Yao were from the parkour team. After receiving the invitation email from Xiao Yao, he will inevitably show off in front of other unselected teammates or friends in the team. Now that someone in the team received the email from Xiao Yao and knew the time and place of the gathering, then this time and place is no secret in front of others.

  Those who have not been selected are unwilling, and many people plan to come back to the scene to fight for it. Considering that Xiao Yao said that he had prepared 30 sets of clothes, in order to avoid Xiao Yao's rejection of them with this excuse, they all dressed up as the characters in "Faded" and prepared their own clothes. Even if they were not selected in the end, they did not intend to miss the opportunity to see a person who is suspected of being one of the YRF veterans filming the MV with their own eyes.

   "Okay!" Xiao Yao said, "But now, first of all, please take off all the masks on your face first, the guys with masks. So many of you gather here like this, I am afraid that the police will be called in."
