Entertaining Children

Chapter 111 Keep Working

Xiao Yao's music video definitely needs actors. .Updating the fastest. He wants to show what happened. It's definitely not like the electronic version of "aded", which can be done by himself in a one-man show. The original video in the previous life was filmed by the Canadian musician with the help of a bunch of friends. Although the plot of Xiao Yao’s video is not exactly the same, at least there will be two bellmen, three flight attendants, and a pair of mothers. For female roles, seven actors are needed.

Xiao Yao doesn't have high requirements for his video, as long as it is interesting, he doesn't need multi-professional actors at all. Keith Craig and Betty Bellett are a couple. One is a singer who has filmed an MV, and the other is a model who also made a guest appearance in a movie. Based on their acting experience, it is more than enough to play him in this video. In terms of appearance, Keith Craig can be a guest luggage attendant, and Betty Bellett can also play the role of a flight attendant or a mother. The two wanted to participate in the performance, but Xiao Yao couldn't ask for it.

"Of course I need actors." Xiao Yao said to the couple, "In this video, besides myself, I also need seven actors, but the requirements for acting skills are not high. If I were in China, or even in New York, I would find a friend to play a guest role. It can be solved by helping. But here, I originally only planned to ask my girlfriend to help, and invite six more actors to come. Since you are willing to participate in the performance, then I only need to find four more actors."

Needless to say, in China, if in New York, Xiao Yao can let Paul and TJ Lai serve as the baggage attendants, and ask Morton's mother and daughter to help play him, I think he won't be rejected. We can make up a lineup for free.

"Since there is no requirement for acting skills, then the actors in your video should simply find our friends to act. I think many friends will be willing to participate in such a fun thing. I don't know what is in this video What kind of character?" Keith Craig asked with great interest.

"A pair of mother and daughter, two bellmen, and three stewardesses." Xiao Yao briefly introduced the plot of the video to the two, and then said, "My girlfriend can play one of the stewardesses, Keith, you can play the bellman, Betty, you can play the flight attendant, or you can play the mother of mother and daughter. So I also need a bellman, a little girl, two flight attendants or a flight attendant and a mother."

"Another porter can ask Vincent to play," Keith Craig immediately suggested to Xiao Yao, "They are all in the same band, and he will be free when I am free. He will definitely not refuse such a thing .”

"Yes, no problem." Xiao Yao nodded. The Vinson that Keith Craig mentioned was Vinson Valle, the bass player of the band "Daydream". He has a relatively strong figure and his appearance is quite suitable for a porter.

"The other two adult female roles can be played by Oriana Wilson and Lily Gibson." Betty Bellett also had a candidate recommendation, "The two of them are also in Los Angeles, and they invited me out for dinner the day before yesterday. They said that recently On vacation, I will stay in Los Angeles for about a week, and there should be no problem with the time."

"Ah? The two of them are also in Los Angeles? Isn't this lineup too luxurious?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise.

Both Oriana Wilson and Lily Gibson were models who had participated in the Eva show. Xiao Yao also knew each other, but he was not as familiar with Betty Bellett. Although the two of them are not Eva's signing angels, they are also world-class well-known models. A fun free video featuring three world-renowned models and two members of a world-renowned rock band, the cast is a bit scary indeed.

"Isn't luxury bad?" Betty Bellett laughed. "It's not like they don't know you anyway. Are you still worried that they will ask you for a reward?"

"That's right." Xiao Yao thought for a while, and couldn't help but nodded. At the same time, he thought to himself: "Meihang, you guys are finished! After the video in the previous life was uploaded on the Internet, relying on the 4 million hits in ten days, you can force it The airline has to bow its head and admit its mistake,

Now that I have such a great cast, let alone 4 million hits in ten days, 40 million is not impossible. Let's see how long you can last? "

"Looking at it this way, it seems that all the actors also know Yang. We don't need to come forward, Yang's own face can call the cast together, and we seem to have played the role of a liaison." Keith. Craig suddenly laughed.

"Wait a minute, there is still a little girl missing." Sun Tingting reminded, and then suggested, "Should I go to Calabasas and find Irene for help?" Although she didn't stay at Smith's house for a long time, Sun Tingting I still have a good impression of that lively little girl.

"Irene is thirteen years old, she's a bit old." Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "Besides, it's a bit too troublesome to pick it up from Calabasas and send it back when it's finished." Xiao Yao wanted to use that video to restore what happened at that time , so I don't want to find a girl who is much older than Katie.

"Mom!" A few people were discussing, a little girl in pajamas walked down the stairs barefoot, rubbing her eyes and shouting.

"Oh, why did I forget about our baby." Betty Bellett patted her forehead and said, "Why are you going to Calabasas? Isn't Elle very suitable? We can just play mother and daughter."

As she spoke, Betty Bellett waved to her daughter Alicia Craig who came downstairs and said, "Ellie, come here. Tell mom, do you want to act with mom? Let's shoot a music video together." How about it?"

"Acting? Good!" The little girl immediately said happily.

"Ellie is indeed more suitable than Irene." Xiao Yao also agreed, "The whole family of you is out here, thank you so much for your support." Alicia Craig is not yet nine years old, and the actress Katie's role is indeed much more suitable than that of thirteen-year-old Erin.

Keith Craig and Betty Bellett called Vincent Valle, Oriana Wilson and Lily Gibson respectively. I heard that it was Jan Shaw who was going to shoot the video, or that Craig's family was going out, and they all gave an affirmative answer as expected.

After the casting is finalized, all that remains is to form the shooting team, prepare costumes and props, and choose the shooting location. In fact, in terms of the so-called shooting team, Xiao Yao mainly needs a photographer. Both Xiao Yao and Keith Craig decided to find the two photographers who helped them shoot the surprise wedding scene yesterday. This video does not require on-site sound recording, so there is no need for a sound engineer at all. Xiao Yao is good at designing and arranging scenes, on-site lighting, props, costumes, and makeup, so he simply takes care of himself. As for the preparation of costume props and selection of venues, in Los Angeles and Hollywood, there are a lot of shops that provide costume props and locations for shooting. For half a day, Xiao Yao is enough for Keith Craig, a local Under the leadership of the leader, everything is ready.

As for the script, it has already been stored in Xiao Yao's mind. So after half a day of preparation, Xiao Yao started the video shooting smoothly the next day.

Since everyone is an acquaintance of Xiao Yao, there is no obstacle for Xiao Yao to direct and coordinate.

The shooting went smoothly. In one and a half days, Xiao Yao successfully shot all the necessary effects materials, and the rest was post-production by himself. After thanking his friends, especially the Craig family for their support, Xiao Yao returned the car he rented near the airport on the afternoon of the third day as planned, and boarded the plane back to New York with Sun Tingting.

After getting out of the airport in New York, Xiao Yao took a taxi and took Sun Tingting back to Chambers Conservatory of Music.

"After something like this happened, do you really decide to stay here? In fact, there are not no good conservatories in China, and they are much safer than here." Standing at the door of Chambers, Xiao Yao asked again Sun Tingting said.

In fact, after Sun Tingting came out of the police station, Xiao Yao, who was a little scared, suggested to Sun Tingting to drop out of the Chambers Conservatory of Music and just go back to China. But Sun Tingting disagreed at the time, so Xiao Yao didn't insist. Now thinking that he was going back to China tomorrow, Xiao Yao, who was worried again, brought up this matter with Sun Tingting again.

"As I said, I don't want to give up halfway." Sun Tingting shook her head firmly and said, "It's fine if I didn't come back then. Now that I'm here, I will definitely finish my studies here. Withdrew from Chambers School of Music."

Looking at Xiao Yao's worried eyes, Sun Tingting was moved in her heart, and then comforted Xiao Yao: "Actually, American schools are not as scary as you think, especially Chambers is a professional music school. Drugs are used in the school. After all, there are only a very small number of students, and people like Wyatt are an exception. You don't have to worry about it. I have been here for almost half a year. Except for you not being around, other aspects, whether it is study or life, are actually going well. Very good."

"Okay." Seeing that Sun Tingting was so determined, Xiao Yao could only nod helplessly, "There is still one and a half years left, and I will wait for you to graduate."

"Rest early! You have to go to class tomorrow, so you don't need to send me off at the airport." Xiao Yao said goodbye after sending Sun Tingting to the dormitory, "I will come to the United States to see you if I have time in the future."

"Then when you come back next time, you must notify me in advance." Sun Tingting demanded, "I'll pick you up at the airport."

Xiao Yao was inexplicably reminded that if he hadn't suddenly appeared to surprise Sun Tingting this time, Sun Tingting would have a perfect alibi when she went to the airport to pick her up, and she wouldn't be taken into custody as the main suspect or even made a fuss. He was prosecuted, so he nodded immediately, and promised: "I promise, I will never play this kind of surprise attack again. I must tell you in advance before coming."

"Well," Sun Tingting hugged Xiao Yao quite attached, "Be careful on the way back. Don't forget to contact me often after returning home."

After graduating from Chambers Conservatory of Music, Xiao Yao no longer lived in a nearby hotel. In order to make it easier to catch the morning flight tomorrow morning, Xiao Yao stayed in a hotel near the airport at night.

Lying on the bed in the hotel, Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and sent text messages to TJ, Paul, Zhou Jingyi, and Samien, informing him that he had returned to New York and returned to Huaxia tomorrow. In any case, these friends also need to notify them when they return home.

Xiao Yao didn't ask Sun Tingting to come to the airport to see him off, nor did he want anyone else to see him off. Therefore, the text message Xiao Yao sent to several people only informed them that he was going back to China, and did not tell him the specific flight number. But there are only a few international flights from New York Airport to Yanjing a day, so when Xiao Yao came to the airport hall with his luggage the next day, Paul and others who had already arrived at the airport were already waiting for him at the airport.

From Sun Tingting's mouth, Xiao Yao knew that Paul and TJ had taken good care of Sun Tingting in the past six months, and he was very grateful to them in his heart. Reluctantly, this time when he came to the United States, Sun Tingting had an accident. In order to accompany Sun Tingting, he didn't get together with the two of them very well. He could only hug them vigorously and promised that he would come to the United States next time or when they had the opportunity to go to China. Can't thank them enough.

When facing the two girls Zhou Jingyi and Samien, Xiao Yao felt a little awkward and unnatural. I just hugged them politely as farewell, and didn't say much.

The two girls were more generous than Xiao Yao. Zhou Jingyi complained unceremoniously that he quietly ran to Los Angeles with Sun Tingting, and then said bluntly that she would miss him, and would even go to Huaxia to find him if she had the chance. Although Samien was not as straightforward as Zhou Jingyi, he just said that the journey was smooth, but with his eyes and tone, Xiao Yao wanted to turn around and run away.

Saying goodbye to a few friends, Xiao Yao, who was sitting on the plane, thought about the two girls looking at him, the more he thought about his eyes, the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the more he asked the flight attendant for a few glasses of vodka, and fell asleep after drinking it . When he came here, because he didn't know where he would accompany Sun Tingting in the United States and how much it would cost, Xiao Yao frugally bought an economy class flight that needed a connecting flight. Now that he has finished accompanying Sun Tingting, Xiao Yao feels that after returning to China, he will definitely make money much faster than spending money, so he bought a first-class ticket for a non-stop flight extravagantly, which also allows him to fall asleep comfortably after drinking .

After returning to Yanjing, Xiao Yao, who hadn't bought a car yet, still asked Fang Yiran to pick him up from the plane, and asked her to send him back home.

Xiao Yao, who had slept a lot on the plane, was in good spirits when he got home. Coupled with the problem of jet lag, he didn't want to rest, so he decided to continue working. There are still three or four days before leaving school, Xiao Yao wants to try to finish the post-production of a music video and a short film before school starts.

The requirements for music videos are not high, and they are relatively simple, but the problem is that there is no official song audio yet. So the first thing Xiao Yao did after he got home and put down his luggage was to get into the recording studio in the basement of his home, record the official studio version of the song "American Airlines Broke My Guitar", and then take it to show Video for soundtrack.
