Entertaining Children

"What's another one?" Lai Zhaodi asked strangely on the phone, "What was negotiated? Senior, what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing." Xiao Yao said, "My recording studio does have a practice room, which can be rented out for you to use. But let me state in advance that I only provide the rehearsal venue and equipment, and I don't care about other things such as food, clothing, housing and transportation when you come to Shanghai. I may go to have a look when I have time, but I won’t be with you all the time and guide you to practice.”

There is more than one practice room in the recording studio, one sheep is chased, and two sheep are released, Xiao Yao simply refuses all comers.

"Okay, senior!" Lai Zhaodi said happily on the phone, "It would be great if you could lend us a place."

"Okay, that's it! Come over the day after tomorrow, right? I guess I don't have time to pick you up at the airport. When you arrive, contact me. I'll give you your address. After you settle down, come directly to the recording studio to meet." Xiao Yao said.

"Okay, senior, then it's settled, see you the day after tomorrow!" Lai Zhaodi said.

"See you the day after tomorrow!" Xiao Yao said goodbye and hung up the phone.

Yang Shiyun also wanted to rent the practice room, but Xiao Yao didn't mention it to Laizhaodi and the others on the phone. Anyway, they are all acquaintances, Xiao Yao thought it would be more interesting to wait for them to find out by themselves the day after tomorrow.

"Boss, your practice room is so popular!" Pei Minyi, who caught a glimpse of Xiao Yao hanging up the phone and driving, laughed.

Although Xiao Yao didn't turn on the speakerphone when he answered the call, he was sitting in the co-pilot's seat. Only from the address Xiao Yao heard and what he said, Pei Minyi could tell who the two calls were from. The whole content of their conversation. After hearing that Xiao Yao answered these two calls, Pei Minyi was also surprised that Yang Shiyun and the 101 girl group asked Xiao Yao to rent a practice room, and forgot to tell Xiao Yao about finding an assistant.

"Yeah," Xiao Yao himself smiled, rubbing his chin and said, "I now feel that I can live by renting out recording studios and practice rooms in the future. Do you think I can consider retiring and change my career directly to chartering public?"

"Come on," Pei Minyi curled her lips, "Did people take a fancy to your recording studio and practice room? Didn't they take a fancy to you. If you really retire, your place won't be rented out, but I Guess that most of the people who will rent your place will be some Internet singers or independent musicians. Yang Shiyun and Lai Zhaodi both have companies, and they will definitely not rent your practice room."

"Do you want to be so straightforward?" Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head.

"Okay," Pei Minyi smiled,

Suddenly, my brain opened up, "Boss, there are four practice rooms in our recording studio. You have rented out two of them now, and there are still two vacant. Do you think we should just put up an advertisement? In the past few days, we will put the other Two practice rooms are also rented out. With so many female idol artists from Yang Shiyun and 101 Girl Group rehearsing in our recording studio, the two practice rooms next door will definitely be rented out at a good price!"

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Yao looked at Pei Minyi speechlessly and said, "Do you really think I live by renting out practice rooms?"

"No," Pei Minyi said with a smile, "I just thought it would be fun to see Yang Shiyun and the 101 girl group meet in our recording studio and know that they are practicing in two adjacent practice rooms in the same recording studio. But what if It’s even more fun when four groups of artists meet and practice together.”

"It's quite fun," Xiao Yao said, "Yang Shiyun and the eleven people in 101 all know each other, and it's fun when they meet. Like you said, most of the famous stars have companies and have recordings. practice room. I want to rent out the practice room. Most of the people who come to rent it are independent musicians. They have nothing to do with them, so there is no fun. If you meet someone who has time and money and rents the practice room for fun, see you After arriving at them, I started chasing stars, ran to their practice room every day, and they practiced ass!"

"That's right!" Pei Minyi nodded and stopped talking.

When the car was quiet, Xiao Yao's cell phone rang again.

Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and found that there was a name on the caller ID that he hadn't contacted for a while, so he picked it up curiously.

"Xiuyan Nuna, long time no see, how are you doing recently?" Xiao Yao greeted in Chinese with a smile.

The name on the caller ID is Hong Soo-yeon, a Korean actress who has a good relationship with Xiao Yao.

"I'm fine recently, and I feel even better when I hear you calling me Nuna." Hong Xiuyan on the phone seemed very happy when Xiao Yao still called "Nuna", and asked the same, "How about you? How are you doing? What are you busy with?"

"I'm fine too," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I'm going to shoot a new movie recently, and I'm making preparations before shooting."

"Are you going to make a movie again?" Hong Xiuyan exclaimed in surprise, and then asked concerned, "The director or the actor?"

"It's all," Xiao Yao said, "I wrote, directed and acted myself."

"Excellent!" Hong Xiuyan praised, and then continued, "Then are you particularly busy recently? When will the filming start?"

"Fortunately, I'm not particularly busy." Xiao Yao could hear the disappointment in Hong Xiuyan's last two questions, and said with a smile, "It's still a while before the movie starts, and the preparations are relatively smooth. I have free time. Are you coming to Huaxia? If you have something to ask me, I should be able to meet you within the next week!"

"Really? That's great." Hong Xiuyan said happily, "I have a job here in Korea, and I have no plans to come to China recently. But the five children of our company Gstar are going to China to participate in the concert. The concert is It will be held in Shanghai, and you live in Shanghai, so if it is convenient, I would like to ask you to take care of it."

"Gstar is coming to China to participate in the concert? Is the "Infinite Starry Sky" Chinese and Korean star concert?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise.

There haven't been any celebrities promoting a concert in Shanghai recently. When it comes to concerts held in Shanghai, it seems that there is only the concert of Chinese and Korean stars. But Hong Xiuyan didn't seem to realize that Xiao Yao was surprised when he mentioned Gstar to Xiao Yao at the Huahan star concert.

"Yeah!" Hong Xiuyan laughed, "You wrote songs for Gstar, saved them, helped them grab anti food, you should still remember them? They don't go to Huaxia many times, and they are the most familiar Chinese stars in private It's you. But they are a little shy, and they are juniors, so they dare not call you directly, so please ask me to come forward."

"This~" Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment before replying, "When will they arrive in Huaxia and what do they need me to do?"

"They set off in the morning the day after tomorrow and fly directly from Seoul to Shanghai. They should arrive at noon the day after tomorrow." Hong Xiuyan said, "They are going to work this time. The organizer and the company will arrange the accommodation and itinerary. It's just that their itinerary is not It is very full, and I attach great importance to the concert. I usually rehearse the performance stage of the concert in my spare time. I need a place to rehearse. What they will perform at the concert is the song "Expectation" that you wrote for them. I know You have your own recording studio, and there is a practice room in the recording studio, so..."

"I see," Xiao Yao interrupted with a wry smile, "I need to borrow the practice room for them to practice, and if I have time, can I give them some guidance?"

"Yes!" Hong Xiuyan smiled, "When you come to Shanghai to participate in the concert, the company should contact them in Shanghai to prepare a practice room. We all know you, and you happen to have a practice room, so the company thought of you. Because I have a good relationship with you, the company asked me to contact you to discuss this matter. But in the end, this is all a commercial act. If you agree, KM will normally pay the rental fees for venues and equipment that should be paid .”

"I got one, three, exactly the same conditions, are you playing me on purpose?" Xiao Yao raised his phone and asked the sky speechlessly.

"Xiao Yao?" Seeing that Xiao Yao didn't respond for a long time, Hong Xiuyan asked again, "Are you still there?"

"Yes!" Xiao Yao gritted his teeth, and replied bluntly, "No problem, I agree. I will rent a practice room with corresponding audio equipment, and I will arrange for someone to talk to your KM company about the cost. .But in advance, I only provide the venue and equipment for the rehearsal, and I don't care about other things. If I have time, I will go and have a look, but I won't accompany them all the time and guide them to practice. They will come the day after tomorrow, right? I guess I don't have time Go to the airport to pick them up. You have been to my recording studio, you know the address, just tell them. After they are settled, come directly to the recording studio to meet, and let me know in advance before coming."

"Okay, no problem!" Hong Xiuyan smiled, "Thank you, thank you for your hard work!"

"I didn't promise to accompany them to guide them to practice all the time. I will go to watch them when I have time, so it's nothing hard." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "As for the rental of venues and equipment, your company will pay for it. This is what makes me money Things, so don't thank me, I should thank you."

"I have been to your recording studio, and I know that it is your exclusive place, and there is no business of renting it out, so your practice room cannot be rented with money." Hong Xiuyan said, "I know you are looking at me It was only because of face that I agreed to rent out the practice room, next time we meet, whether you come to Korea or I go to Huaxia, I will treat you to dinner!"

"Just now my assistant suggested that I rent out the practice room to the public!" Xiao Yao said in his heart. But Xiao Yao didn't need to say this. Since Hong Xiuyan agreed to accept his affection, he happily continued.

"Okay, then it's settled!" Xiao Yao said happily.

"Boss, the third one?!" After Xiao Yao hung up the phone, Pei Minyi also turned to look at him speechlessly and said.

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "We are acquaintances again, and even the conditions are almost exactly the same!"

"We still have a practice room, why don't you check the list of confirmed performers for that concert now to see if there are any others related to you?" Pei Minyi suggested with a smile.

"Don't do it!" Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "Even if there is, I won't do it!"

"Why?" Pei Minyi asked.

"The first three were people who took the initiative to come to the door, and the last one asked me to take the initiative to find someone, wouldn't it be very embarrassing." Xiao Yao said with a proud face, "Besides, what if we get together when we get together? Telling the story, wouldn't it make the artists in the fourth practice room very proud in front of the other three groups of artists?"

"But all three rooms are rented out," Pei Minyi twitched uncomfortably, "How uncomfortable the remaining one is empty!"

"Anyway, I'm free these few days, at worst, I'll use the remaining one for myself!" Xiao Yao said harshly.

"Are you going to the concert too?" Pei Minyi asked in surprise.

It's not that the list of performers for the concert has been confirmed at this time, and Xiao Yao can no longer join it temporarily, but that several organizers including Haiyan Video have invited Xiao Yao before, but Xiao Yao did not agree at that time. Pei Minyi felt that Xiao Yao, who always talked about face, was unlikely to go back on his word and slap himself in the face.

"Who said I use the practice room just to participate in the concert performance?" Xiao Yao said, "I can't rehearse the theme song of the movie?"

"The theme song for the movie has already been written?" Pei Minyi asked in surprise, "I haven't heard you say it, you sing it yourself?"

"I already have an idea, but I plan to let Duoer sing the theme song of the movie, and I don't plan to sing it myself." Xiao Yao said.

"Let Tingting sing? Does she know? And she hasn't come back yet? How do you rehearse?" Pei Minyi asked strangely.

"I'm telling you this, and others don't know about it." Xiao Yao said, "I said I wrote a song I sang and practiced in the practice room. Who can say it's not? At worst, I will discard it later and change it. chant!"

"Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say!" Pei Minyi laughed.

As soon as Pei Minyi's laughter fell, Xiao Yao's phone rang for the fourth time.

As soon as the phone rang, Pei Minyi and Xiao Yao shuddered at the same time. Pei Minyi simply slammed on the brakes, parked the car on the side of the road, and exchanged glances with Xiao Yao with a strange expression.

"Who is it?" Pei Minyi asked carefully.

"It seems that the fourth practice room is also available!" Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone to take a look, and showed Pei Minyi the screen of the mobile phone with a wry smile.

"Liu Youyuan?" Pei Minyi asked strangely, "He doesn't seem to be on the list of performers for this concert, does he? Didn't you say that this time it's mainly young idol stars, and there are no veteran singers? "

This is also one of the main reasons why Xiao Yao refused to participate in this concert.

"Liu Youyuan is not suitable, there is someone in his company who is suitable!" Xiao Yao laughed, "Xiuyannu is also a singer, and she didn't call me because she wanted to participate."

"SYS!" Pei Minyi exclaimed suddenly.

When Xiao Yao went to South Korea to write a song for Gstar, Pei Minyi went with him. When Xiao Yao went to Korea that time, besides writing a song for Gstar of KM Company, he also wrote a Korean song for a girl group named SYS in YPL Entertainment Company where Liu Youyuan works. Although Xiao Yao did not arrange for Pei Minyi to design costumes for the three girls of the SYS group at the time, Pei Minyi was not as familiar with them as the five girls of Gstar, but Pei Minyi knew about it.

"I'll check to see if SYS is on the list for this concert!" Pei Minyi excitedly took out her phone and said.

After seeing Xiao Yao answering three calls along the way, Pei Minyi, who had no interest in the concert, was now extremely excited.

"What are you looking for? You can see what Brother Youyuan said!" Xiao Yao smiled and clicked the call button on the phone screen.

"Hello Brother Youyuan, long time no see, how are you doing recently?" Xiao Yao still smiled and greeted in Chinese.

It seems that foreign celebrities who have a good relationship with Xiao Yao are particularly interested in learning Chinese. Regardless of the level of speaking, as long as it is a non-public occasion, Xiao Yao likes to talk to them in Chinese. Listening to their accented Chinese pronunciation is also a very interesting thing for Xiao Yao.

"Xiao Yao, long time no see. I've been fine recently." Liu Youyuan's voice came from the phone, "How about you? How are you doing? What are you up to?"

After Liu Youyuan greeted her, her opening remarks were the same as Hong Xiuyan's. When she asked about the current situation, she was concerned about whether she was busy recently, which gave Xiao Yao a special premonition.

After Xiao Yao answered the same as when he answered Hong Xiuyan's call, Liu Youyuan talked about the purpose of making this call, and it turned out to be the same as Hong Xiuyan.
