Entertaining Children

"It's just a few minutes of MV script, not a movie script or a TV drama script." Xiao Yao laughed, "It's not too long in total, half a day is not too fast!"

"But you just said that you would give me the lyrics and score of the song before noon," Liu Youyuan said, "you will give me the script in the afternoon. How can there be half a day?"

"If you have something in your mind, it's easy to turn it into words." Xiao Yao nodded his head with a smile and said.

"Let's solve the song first." Seeing Liu Youyuan's unbelievable expression, Xiao Yao didn't bother to bother, and changed the subject, "I'll write out the lyrics and score for you to see, will the song work?" , whether you want to buy this song or not, you must have watched it first before deciding? Only after you decide to want this song, there will be the following MV. "

"That's right," Liu Youyuan nodded, and asked Xiao Yao, "Are you going to write it now?"

"Of course," Xiao Yao looked up and looked around, and asked Liu Youyuan, "Is there any paper and pen?"

There must be no shortage of such things in entertainment companies, so Xiao Yao didn't carry them with him.

"Do you need us to retreat and give you a separate and quiet space?" Liu Youyuan found a blank sheet music book and pencil from the cabinet in the recording studio and handed them to Xiao Yao.

"No, just don't talk." Xiao Yao took the pen and paper, and started to write.

The Korean song that Xiao Yao decided to give Liu Youyuan was "Because I'm a Woman" by Kiss in her previous life. Although this song was released in 2001 in the previous life, it has been quite a few years, but Xiao Yao was very impressed with the MV of this song, and he remembered the song very clearly. After about ten minutes, he wrote the lyrics and music, Handed it to Liu Youyuan.

Liu Youyuan didn't bother to lament Xiao Yao's speed again, he took the sheet music and read it seriously, and couldn't help humming softly in the process.

"I think it's great!" After reading it, Liu Youyuan gave Xiao Yao a thumbs up, and then handed the score book to the three girls next to him and said, "You guys should take a look too."

"Is this really written by the big boy in front of me?" After reading it, the three girls looked at Xiao Yao strangely, and did not express any opinions immediately.

Liu Youyuan understood the thinking of the three students, knowing that they were wondering how Xiao Yao, a boy in his early twenties, could write such a "female" song. To be honest, Liu Youyuan was also surprised when he saw the lyrics and music of this song. But after all, he was the one who had seen Xiao Yao throw out a new song every week on "Singer" more than a year ago. He knew Xiao Yao's diversity in creation, so he was much less surprised.

"What do you think of this song? Do you like it?" Liu Youyuan saw that the three girls were silent,

I had no choice but to ask.

"Great, we like it very much!" the three girls replied.

"That's good!" Liu Youyuan nodded, then turned to Xiao Yao and said, "Our company has accepted this song! Have you already thought about the arrangement and soundtrack?"

"Well, I have some ideas, I can work with you." Xiao Yao nodded.

"Since you have already thought about the arrangement and soundtrack, one day should be enough!" Liu Youyuan turned to the three girls and said, "Go and copy the lyrics and music in your hands, and leave the original for us. You should familiarize yourself with this song today. , start recording tomorrow!"

"Yes, teacher!" The three girls said happily.

After the three girls left, Xiao Yao and Liu Youyuan started to record the soundtrack accompaniment.

Both Xiao Yao and Liu Youyuan can play musical instruments as well as sound engineers. But this is in Liu Youyuan's recording studio. The song was written by Xiao Yao, and the arrangement was made by Xiao Yao. A soundtrack of various instruments was played in the recording room.

Xiao Yao just copied the original arrangement and soundtrack from his previous life without any changes, so the process of recording the soundtrack accompaniment was quite smooth.

After recording the soundtrack of each instrument, post-processing such as sound adjustment and track synthesis was handed over to the sound engineer Liu Youyuan, and Xiao Yao took time in the afternoon to write the script of the song MV. .

Liu Youyuan also read the script written by Xiao Yao immediately after finishing the post-production of the soundtrack. After reading the script, Liu Youyuan expressed that he liked the story very much and would try his best to fight for the company to make this MV.

As for the purchase of songs, Liu Youyuan, as the music director of the company, has the right to make decisions on the spot, but making an MV involves not only music, but also many things in the performing arts. You need to invite the shooting team and actors, prepare the shooting venue and props, and make a shooting budget. These things cannot be decided by Liu Youyuan alone.

Although Liu Youyuan personally liked the story written by Xiao Yao, he couldn't make the decision on the spot to buy Xiao Yao's MV script for shooting. Instead, he needed to show the script to the company boss and the heads of other departments to discuss and decide together.

Xiao Yao also knew that the shooting of the MV was not up to Liu Youyuan alone, but he didn't care too much about it. Both KM and YPL are Korean entertainment companies. Xiao Yao's cooperation with these two companies this time is also due to the personal relationship between Hong Xiuyan and Liu Youyuan. SYS is not an artist under him, it is best to be popular when he debuts, and it doesn't have much impact on Xiao Yao if he is not popular. His main target market and development direction are not in South Korea.

After handing over the script, Xiao Yao's mission today has come to an end. Before Xiao Yao bid farewell and left, Liu Youyuan also continued to send out tomorrow's work invitation to Xiao Yao: "Xiao Yao, I will record a song for SYS tomorrow, so you can come too."

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded first, and then said, "But I can only come for half a day in the morning tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon is the screening time of the movie I starred in at the film festival, and I will attend. SYS's I'm still preparing for my debut, so the recording shouldn't be so urgent, right? I'll record with you tomorrow morning, and you come with me in the afternoon, how about going to the film platform given to me by the film festival?"

"You are so popular in Korea now, do you still need me to help you stand?" Liu Youyuan first laughed and teased Xiao Yao, then nodded, "But I also really want to see what kind of movie you act in. Tomorrow I'll go in the afternoon!"

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

The next morning, Xiao Yao came to YPL company as scheduled, and together with Liu Youyuan recorded for the three girls of SYS. After a morning of recording, Xiao Yao once again felt that in terms of singing alone, the three girls of SYS were better than the five girls of Gstar, and he was even more optimistic about the prospect of this song.

The screening time of "127 Hours" was at 2:30 in the afternoon, and Xiao Yao took his leave after 11:00 noon. Except that it was almost lunch time, he also had to go back to the hotel in advance to make some preparations.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yao, Ye Jiaying and the relevant personnel of the crew came to the cinema where the screening was held. At this time, there was still some time before the film screening, and there were only some reporters in the theater, and there were no audience members.

According to the public screening process, there will be an on-site exchange meeting after the film is played, which will be left for the film creators to communicate with the audience, and will also accept questions from on-site journalists. However, the exchange meeting was after the movie screening. Now that I saw Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao, some of the media reporters who entered the venue early came over and asked for a brief on-site interview.

As the director of this movie, he is also a well-known senior actor in the world. Ye Jiaying is the core member of this movie. However, because of the two incidents the day before yesterday, the reporter who came here to interview Xiao Yao unexpectedly It was about the same number as looking for Ye Jiaying.

If it's an interview about movies, Xiao Yao is of course willing, but when he hears that the reporter's question is related to the two incidents the day before yesterday, Xiao Yao has no interest in answering the question. If he was willing to be interviewed about the two incidents the day before yesterday, there would have been an exclusive interview, and he didn't have to wait until the film festival's screening event to be interviewed.

"Xiuyan is angry!" Xiao Yao saw a familiar figure appearing at the entrance of the theater, and immediately waved to the entrance.

"Sorry, my friend is here!" Xiao Yao took the opportunity to escape from the reporters' siege, and greeted Hong Xiuyan.

"Xiao Yao, I'm here to enjoy your movie!" Hong Xiuyan said with a smile, "Yuni and the others also wanted to come to support you, but they are too busy with their schedules recently, so I really can't get away, let me convey their wishes to you , I hope your film can achieve good results at this film festival."

"Thank you, thank you, and thank them too!" Xiao Yao thanked, then turned to the man next to Hong Xiuyan and said, "Park Zhixianxi, hello, welcome!"

"Hello!" Park Zhixian and Xiao Yao were not very familiar, so he greeted him very politely.

"This way please!" Xiao Yao invited the two of them to the seats reserved for them in the front row of the auditorium.

"That's Hong Soo-yeon and Park Zhi-hyun? They also came to see this Chinese movie?" A reporter was a little surprised looking at the two people who were chatting with Xiao Yao.

"I heard that Hong Xiuyan and Xiao Yao have a very good relationship, and have worked with director Ye Jiaying in China!" Another reporter broke the news.

"It's not surprising that Hong Xiuyan is here, but what about Park Zhixian? He doesn't seem to have anything to do with director Ye Jiaying or Xiao Yao, right? KM company sent Park Zhixian here, right? With Park Zhixian's current status, KM company will be with this film because of Hong Xiuyan." The two main creators of the film have a good relationship, so they sent him out to help the film platform?" Another reporter asked.

Seeing that Xiao Yao and the two were talking, the reporters didn't rush to interrupt casually, but this didn't affect their discussion on the sidelines.

Ye Jiaying also saw Hong Xiuyan's arrival. After dealing with the reporters in front of her, Ye Jiaying also sat down on the seat next to Hong Xiuyan to say hello. After Hong Xiuyan greeted Ye Jiaying, she also introduced Park Zhixian who was beside her to Ye Jiaying.

At this time, Xiao Yao left the auditorium and went to the door to welcome another Korean friend.

"That's Liu Youyuan? Why is he here too?" A reporter who recognized the person commented in surprise.

In the film screening activities of the film festival, there are actually some big-name star audiences. Some reporters and movie fans will even pay special attention to and compare which movie can attract more star audiences. However, most of the big-name stars who appear on such occasions are directors and actors. In addition, there are many behind-the-scenes technicians and producers such as camera and editing, and representatives of film companies, but few pure singers come to support, especially Or a local star singer came to support a foreign movie.

After Xiao Yao greeted Liu Youyuan, he led Liu Youyuan to the side of Hong Xiuyan and Ye Jiaying. Hong Xiuyan, Park Zhixian, and Liu Youyuan all knew each other, so Xiao Yao arranged the seats of the three of them together. Although Ye Jiaying also participated in the "Singer" finals that year, she didn't have much contact with Liu Youyuan. Xiao Yao introduced Ye Jiaying and Liu Youyuan to each other.

Not all the stars present at this film screening are for Xiao Yao. Ye Jiaying has been in the film and television industry much longer than Xiao Yao, and her status is much higher, and she also has her own resources and contacts. In this screening, not only two other core members of the Huaxia film crew who also participated in the film festival came to support, but also two local Korean directors and actors, a Thai actor and a Danish director came to Ye Jiaying's platform join in.

Although the people who came to Ye Jiaying were big names, they were all from the film industry. Compared with them, the few celebrities that Xiao Yao came out to meet surprised the reporters.

Both Hong Soo-yeon and Park Ji-hyun are actors, but their acting careers are mainly in TV dramas. Although these two people are well-known and have high traffic, in the eyes of ordinary Korean audiences, there is still a big difference between the two of them and professional movie actors. It is a bit strange for these two people to appear at the film festival, let alone At the screening of a non-native film. As for Liu Youyuan, let alone. Therefore, such a star audience lineup is extremely rare in the history of the Seoul International Film Festival, not to mention the screening activities of this film festival.

However, the surprise of the reporters did not last long, because soon the film began to be screened, and everyone also focused on the film.

The story of a man who broke his leg and saved himself after being buried underground for 127 hours is very attractive in itself, and whether it is Ye Jiaying's direction or Xiao Yao's performance, they are all very good, and the audience on the scene soon watched I was completely immersed in it, and my mood fluctuated with the encounters of the protagonists in the movie. When the film screening ended, there was a burst of applause, and some audience members stood up excitedly.

Amid the applause of the audience, Ye Jiaying, Xiao Yao and several main creative personnel of the crew came to the stage and bowed to the audience. The applause that was originally small became much louder.

The next step is the on-site communication, which is the link where the audience and media reporters ask questions to the main creators on the stage. As the director of the movie, Ye Jiaying received the most questions, followed by Xiao Yao.

Regarding the questions about the film, Xiao Yao answered them seriously, and actually talked about the themes that the film wanted to express and his feelings and feelings during and after the filming. But just like before the movie screening, many of these questions were about his appearance on the Korean TV station and grabbing anti-food. For these questions, Xiao Yao basically refused to answer them on the grounds that they had nothing to do with the movie.

In addition to only answering questions related to the movie, Xiao Yao also showed his character in another aspect at this exchange meeting.

Xiao Yao has been on Korean TV shows. Apart from singing on stage, he talks to the host in fluent Korean during the special introduction of the show. His ability to speak Korean is very important to Korean journalists and even many Korean audiences. It's no secret. In the on-site communication session after the screening, some South Korean journalists also asked Xiao Yao directly in Korean.

Xiao Yao had already experienced such a situation when he walked the red carpet for an interview, and this time he still gave all his answers in English. However, Xiao Yao faced the host arranged by the film festival on the red carpet at that time, but this time Xiao Yao faced reporters who had a lot less scruples.

A South Korean reporter heard that Xiao Yao had been speaking English, and couldn't help asking Xiao Yao a question in Korean, and then emphasized that Xiao Yao should answer the question in Korean.

Xiao Yao didn't evade the question about his ability to speak Korean, and answered the reporter directly without waiting for an on-site interpreter. However, Xiao Yao's answer still did not use Korean, but turned the other party back in English.

Xiao Yao specifically emphasized that this is a screening of the Seoul International Film Festival. They are Chinese crews who came to participate in the International Film Festival, and they are Chinese. There were not only audiences and reporters from Korea, but also audiences and reporters from China and even other countries. Rather than asking an interpreter to translate his Korean into English, he felt that it was more appropriate to speak English directly by himself!

As soon as Xiao Yao's answer came out, there was a lot of discussion at the scene.
