Entertaining Children

\u00261t;/p\u003e

The Screen Actors Guild of America not only requires an eight-hour working system, and overtime pay is required for the time spent, it also stipulates that there must be a rest day every week. In addition to Zhou Jingyi, the Latin American actor who played the leading role and some supporting actors in this crew are also members of the Screen Actors Guild of America. There are also staff in other departments, such as photographers, who are also members of various unions in the United States, and those unions also have regulations on working hours. \u00261t;/p\u003e

A few days after the start-up, the filming progress of the crew was still very good, so on the first weekend after the start-up, Xiao Yao and Mu Ying announced the shutdown and gave the whole crew a day off. \u00261t;/p\u003e

With only one day off in a week, I will definitely not go back to China again. Zhao Rui, Xu Fei, Chen Xiaoting and others didn't come to the United States much, and even less often to Los Angeles. They went out to play by themselves while the crew was on vacation. Xiao Yao came to Los Angeles when he was a child and ran around with Chen Xuan. He was an international exchange student in Calabasas for a year when he was a sophomore in high school. Once you are familiar with it, you will naturally have no interest in going out to play. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The American labor union stipulates that actors and some crew members must rest, but it does not stipulate that Xiao Yao, the producer and non-union director, must also rest. On the day when the crew was on vacation, Xiao Yao chose to continue working. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The actors and staff of the crew are all on vacation, so filming is definitely not possible, but Xiao Yao is not only the producer, director, and starring role of this film, but also one of the film's soundtrack composers. The movie is not finished, and Xiao Yao is still not easy to do the simple soundtrack, but Xiao Yao can do the theme song and interlude in the movie first. \u00261t;/p\u003e

As early as when the script of this movie was completed, Xiao Yao had an idea for the songs to be used in the movie, but he hadn't made it yet. Now that there is free time during filming, Xiao Yao plans to use this time to produce the songs of the movie, which can also save some time for future post-production. \u00261t;/p\u003e

This is an action movie, and many of the plots in it are quite intense and burning, and the soundtrack will definitely be more intense and burning. In terms of movie songs, Xiao Yao is also planning to use two rock songs. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Speaking of rock songs,

Xiao Yao's first thought was naturally the "immorta1s" band in Los Angeles. \u00261t;/p\u003e

At a gathering after the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game at the beginning of the year, Xiao Yao and Mu Ying discussed the preparation of the parkour film crew. At that time, apart from Muying and Huaxia's friends, members of the "immorta1s" band and Zhou Jingyi were also present. At that time, they also expressed their intention to invest in Xiao Yao's film. As the co-producers of the movie, the members of the "immorta1s" band also knew about Xiao Yao and others coming to Los Angeles to make a movie. \u00261t;/p\u003e

On the day Xiao Yao and others arrived in Los Angeles, the "immorta1s" band happened to have a performance task, so they didn't go to the airport to pick them up. But after the production started, a few people from the band came to visit the set, and they also knew that Zhou Jingyi was one of the protagonists of the movie. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Although the band members didn't say it clearly, Xiao Yao knew that they had some thoughts in their hearts, so when they came to visit the class, Xiao Yao told them that he wanted to invite them to sing the songs in the movie. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Zhou Jingyi, who was present at the time, has joined the movie as an actor, and they are naturally not far behind. The band members can't act, but they are a band and can sing for the songs in the movie. Xiao Yao's arrangement also happened to speak to the hearts of the band members, and they agreed without hesitation at that time. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Same as Zhao Rui, Samion Smith in the band has just graduated from college, and the other three, like Xiao Yao, have just finished their junior year. It's summer vacation now, so I don't have to go to school. They have no tour this summer, and there are not many other commercial performances, so they are relatively free. Xiao Yao plans to give the crew a holiday every Sunday. In order to take care of Xiao Yao's filming, the band has agreed to meet every Sunday in the next few weeks to rehearse and record songs together. As for the location, it was set at the recording studio of "Daydream". \u00261t;/p\u003e

The day before the crew was on vacation, Xiao Yao contacted Dean and the others in advance, and after learning that there was no accident on their side, he drove to the recording studio of "Daydream" alone on the morning of the crew's vacation. \u00261t;/p\u003e

When Xiao Yao arrived, the four members of the band were already waiting for him in the recording studio, not only the members of the "immorta1s" band, but also Keith Craig and others from the "Daydream" band. The studio is waiting for him. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Keith? Why are you here?" Xiao Yao was a little surprised when he saw Keith Craig and others. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"This is our place, is it necessary to be so surprised to see us?" Keith Craig laughed. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Uh~ well, my fault!" Xiao Yao scratched his head in embarrassment. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"I didn't expect you to be a director and make movies at such a young age!" Keith Craig asked as if asking for guilt, "But why didn't you tell me and Betty when you made a movie? You know that Betty and I also invested Movies." \u00261t;/p\u003e

About Xiao Yao's filming, Keith Craig didn't hear what the "immorta1s" band members said, but saw the news on the Internet. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"This~" Xiao Yao continued to scratch his head and said, "This movie was filmed and played by myself with a few Huaxia friends. We didn't even ask for money from our parents, so we didn't ask other people to invest."\u00261t ;/p\u003e

"Okay," Keith Craig nodded, "It's okay to make a movie, but are you trying to hide it from me while recording songs in Los Angeles?" \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Why am I trying to hide it from you?" Xiao Yao said amusedly, "We are recording songs in your studio, will Dean and the others not tell you? Do I have to call you?"\u00261t;/p\u003e

"This~" This time it was Keith Craig's turn to have nothing to say. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Keith Craig waved his hand, "Where is the song you wrote? Show me."\u00261t;/p\u003e

In Keith Craig's impression, Xiao Yao has never sung or produced songs created by other musicians. This time Xiao Yao came to the "immorta1s" band to record a song, and Keith Craig also decided that it would be Xiao Yao's own song. \u00261t;/p\u003e

The band "immorta1s" has been around for over four years. In more than four years, this band has not only performed the few songs written by Xiao Yao. During this period, Dean himself wrote songs, Keith Craig helped them write songs, and bought songs for them, some of them have achieved good results, but when it comes to the best music of this band As for the works, the three songs written by Xiao Yao still have the best results. \u00261t;/p\u003e

For the "Daydream" band themselves, none of their music works in the past few years can achieve the results achieved by the one that Xiao Yao helped them write back then. In the eyes of Keith Craig and others, Xiao Yao is an out-and-out musical genius. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Keith Craig doesn't really care too much about Xiao Yao's filming. The main purpose of his visit this time is to see what new works this genius in his eyes has. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Here it is!" Xiao Yao stretched out his right index finger and tapped his right temple, smiling. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Then write it out quickly!" Keith Craig said, "Why don't you go to my office, where I have spare sheet music and pencils."\u00261t;/p\u003e

"Are you in such a hurry?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "It would be nice to listen to the finished product after we finished recording. What score are you looking at?"\u00261t;/p\u003e

"It's okay," Keith Craig said with a smile, "Anyway, you're going to write it for them to practice! I'm here all the time, and there's nothing wrong with it. Let's go after reading the song you wrote!" \u00261t;/ p\u003e

"Okay!" Xiao Yao shrugged indifferently. Like Craig said, it's all about writing anyway. \u00261t;/p\u003e

A group of people transferred to Keith Craig's office. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Come on!" Keith Craig pressed Xiao Yao on his office chair, and offered him a pen and paper. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Thank you, it's such an honor!" Xiao Yao smiled flattered. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"It's okay," Keith Craig waved his hand, "The coffee table over there is too short, the desk must be comfortable to write on!" \u00261t;/p\u003e

Xiao Yao nodded and smiled, stopped talking, picked up a pencil and buried himself in writing. \u00261t;/p\u003e

After more than ten minutes, Xiao Yao sorted out the sheet of score paper on the table and stood up. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Written?" Keith Craig stepped forward, handed Xiao Yao a cup of coffee, and took the score in Xiao Yao's hand with the other hand, "Let me see!"\u00261t;/p \u003e

Xiao Yao didn't care either, and drank his coffee with his head down. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"It's great!" Keith Craig first praised after reading it, and then took out one of the sheet music to praise, "Yan, I think it's more appropriate for us "Daydream" to sing this song! Give us this song "Daydream"!" \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Pfft!" Xiao Yao spit out a mouthful of coffee. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Boss, you can't do this!" Before Xiao Yao, who had sprayed his coffee, had no time to speak, Samien stood up and said in dissatisfaction. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Yeah," Dean also stood up and said, "How can you steal our song?"\u00261t;/p\u003e

"Of course I can do that!" Keith Craig turned to look at the two of them and said, "I'm not stealing your song, but I think this song is really more suitable for us!" Keith Craig said Passed out all the sheet music in his hand. \u00261t;/p\u003e

Samion reached out to take it, and Dean, Mike, and George all leaned over to watch it together. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"You are a rock band, of course that song is suitable for you!" Xiao Yao finally recovered from the state of spouting coffee, and said to Keith Craig with a smile, "Actually, what you want to say is that another song may not be suitable for you. You guys? Otherwise, do you want to pass both songs?" Just now when Keith Craig held up the score, Xiao Yao saw the words on the score and knew which song he was looking for. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"No!" Keith Craig said sternly, "I just think that if there are two bands to promote your movie, it must be better than one band to promote your movie! What do you think? What about?" \u00261t;/p\u003e

These two songs are Xiao Yao's works, so the decision is naturally in Xiao Yao's hands. When Xiao Yao sold the copyright of the song, he would designate the original singer as an additional condition. Back when Xiao Yao was still a high school student, Keith Craig wanted to buy the copyright of Xiao Yao's song and sing it for "Daydream" but failed. The Xiao Yao at this time is very different from that time Naturally, he is even more unafraid of rejecting him, so Keith Craig can only fight for Xiao Yao from Xiao Yao's own vital interests, from the aspect of the movie. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"This~" Dean and Samion Smith, who were about to speak, heard Keith Craig's words, swallowed the words that came to their lips, and looked at Xiao Yao together. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Jan, Keith is right," Samion thought for a while, and seeing that Xiao Yao didn't respond to Keith Craig, he took the initiative to speak to Xiao Yao, "I think the two songs are sung by two different bands. Better for this movie of yours." \u00261t;/p\u003e

What Samion said is not just because they are a signed band under the "Daydream" studio, and Keith Craig is their boss. Actually speaking, Keith Craig, the boss, has always been very kind to their band. Even in the current situation, Keith Craig did not threaten or force them as the boss, but persuaded them with Xiao Yao's interests, which is already very rare. \u00261t;/p\u003e

And Keith Craig was right. In terms of fame and status, the veteran rock band "Daydream" is still much better than "immorta1s". Xiao Yao's two songs were both written for the movie, so these two songs must be used to promote the movie before the movie is released. No matter in the United States or in the world, the difference in publicity effect is obvious when comparing a movie song sung by a "daydream" with a movie song sung by an "immorta1s". \u00261t;/p\u003e

If you simply consider it from the aspect of movie promotion, in fact, the effect of letting "Daydream" sing the two songs is the best. I don’t know if Keith Craig really thinks that one of the songs is not suitable for them, or considering the relationship between Xiao Yao and the "immorta1s" band, he only wants one of the two songs and proposes that the two bands sing two songs separately. plan. In Samien Smith's view, this plan seems to be the best plan in all aspects. \u00261t;/p\u003e

But Xiao Yao didn't think so. \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Sorry," Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, "I don't agree with what you said!"\u00261t;/p\u003e

"First," Xiao Yao looked at Keith Craig and said, "Keith, I wrote these two songs for that movie, and I have to participate in the singing myself. I was originally a member of the band "immorta1s" , these two songs are just right for "immorta1s". If one of them is given to you, it becomes Jan feat. "Daydream" or "Daydream" feat. Jan. I have my own band, I don't Love it this way!" \u00261t;/p\u003e

"Secondly," Xiao Yao continued, "this movie about parkour was made by a few of us who play parkour together for parkour lovers to watch. In order to fulfill a wish of several of us. Everyone involved in this movie is very young, and the target audience of the movie is also young people!" I don't deny that you "Daydream" is bigger and more famous than "immorta1s", but "immorta1s "This young band is more suitable for our young film. "\u00261t;/p\u003e

"Of course we want to make a movie with as much box office as possible, but in fact we didn't set any goal for the movie's box office, and we don't have much ambition." Xiao Yao finally said, "Compared to the effect of publicity, I care more about the youth of the team, so..."\u00261t;/p\u003e

"Young?" Keith Craig exaggeratedly held his chest and smiled wryly, "I feel hurt!"\u00261t;/p\u003e
