Chapter 611: Songs in Exchange?

Ye Jiaying brought the film to the Seoul International Film Festival, and the organizers of the film festival arranged to receive the whole process. When the flight of Ye Jiaying and her entourage landed at Incheon Airport in South Korea, the staff in charge of reception of the film festival were already waiting at the exit of the arrival hall.

However, this time it was not only the festival staff who came to pick up the airport. When Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao walked out of the passenger passage, someone walked towards them before the film festival staff holding the pick-up sign.

"Sister Jiaying, hello! Welcome to Korea!" A slender long-haired beauty enthusiastically opened her arms to Ye Jiaying, smiling and saying in fluent Chinese.

"Hello Xiuyan, thank you for coming to pick you up!" Ye Jiaying smiled and hugged the long-haired beauty in front of her. The person who came to pick up the airport was none other than Hong Xiuyan, who had a good relationship with Xiao Yao.

Ye Jiaying and Hong Xiuyan have performed together in a Chinese TV series, and they have been guest singers for Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao father and son in the finals of the same season of "Singer", and the two also know each other.

Before transforming into a director, Ye Jiaying also worked as a producer and producer, and has quite good contacts and resources in the Chinese film and television industry. Because she knew that Hong Xiuyan and Xiao Yao had a good relationship, Ye Jiaying also helped Hong Xiuyan get some opportunities to perform in Chinese film and television dramas. In recent years, Hong Xiuyan has participated in many film and television dramas, and has developed quite well in China, which also has a certain relationship with Ye Jiaying, so the two not only know each other, but also have a very good relationship.

"Xiuyan is angry, you call me my mother, so shouldn't I call you aunt instead?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Of course not! The three of us call each other our own! You still call me angry!" Hong Xiuyan let go of Ye Jiaying, turned around and gave Xiao Yao another hug.

Hong Xiuyan knew that Ye Jiaying helped her fight for the opportunity to perform in Huaxia because of Xiao Yao, no matter how familiar she was with Ye Jiaying, this relationship could not be better than with Xiao Yao. She came to the airport to pick up the airport this time, mainly for Xiao Yao.

"Even everyone who calls each other knows, it seems that Nuna's Chinese has improved a lot!" Xiao Yao smiled and hugged Hong Xiuyan back.

"Is it Ms. Ye or Mr. Chen?" At this time, two young men in suits walked over and said to Ye Jiaying and another filmmaker next to her in slightly accented English, "Hello! We are the staff of the Seoul Film Festival, and we are here to pick you up!"

"Yes, hello, thank you for your hard work!" Ye Jiaying nodded with a smile, stretched out her hand to the two, and replied in English.

"This is the hero of our movie, Xiao Yao!" After the producer surnamed Chen greeted the two receptionists, Ye Jiaying pointed to Xiao Yao and introduced the two of them.

"Hello Mr. Xiao~" The two turned to Xiao Yao, and at the same time saw the face of the beautiful woman beside Xiao Yao, and couldn't help but exclaim in Korean, "Ah~ Miss Hong Xiuyan?!"

"Yes, I'm Hong Xiuyan!" Hong Xiuyan said to the two with a smile, "Ms. Ye and Mr. Xiao are both my friends, so I came to pick them up at the airport, I hope it doesn't affect your work." ”

Hong Xiuyan heard the conversation between the two and Ye Jiaying just now, and naturally knew who they were. She knew that Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao were here to attend the film festival, and she also knew that the film festival would arrange the accommodation and itinerary of the crew members who came to participate in the film festival, so it was not surprising that the two appeared.

"No, no," both of them smiled and waved their hands, "I didn't expect Miss Xiuyan and Ms. Ye to be friends, no wonder she speaks Chinese so well!"

"It's a pleasure to meet for the first time, I'm Xiao Yao!" Xiao Yao took the initiative to stretch out his hand to the two of them.

Because Ye Jiaying was next to her, Hong Xiuyan and the staff sent by the two film festival organizers also spoke English, but Xiao Yao had no worries about this, and felt that the English of the two sounded awkward, so he simply spoke Korean to them.

"Hello Mr. Xiao!" the two bent down and shook Xiao Yao's hand, and one of them sighed in surprise, "You speak Korean so well!"

"Let's go to the hotel, this way, please!" The other person looked in a few directions in the reception hall and said to Ye Jiaying and the others in English.

There will be no shortage of gossip reporters at airports in any country. Because of the recent film festival, there are many more gossip reporters in the arrival hall of international flights at Incheon Airport than usual. At this time, although there were no reporters around, some reporters had already raised their cameras to take pictures in this direction, and the staff still felt that it was better to leave early.

"Nuna, if it's okay, let's go to the hotel and sit down!" Xiao Yao said to Hong Xiuyan. People came so far to the airport to pick up the airport, it was not good to let Hong Xiuyan go back by herself now, so Xiao Yao sent out an invitation to go to the hotel together.

"Won't it disturb your rest?" Hong Xiuyan said.

"The time difference between Yanjing and Seoul is only one hour, and the flight time is only two hours, so we don't even have to fall into the jet lag and don't have to rest!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Then it's better to do this, right?" Hong Xiuyan turned to the two film festival staff and said, "Let Ms. Ye and Mr. Xiao take my car, and we will drive behind you to the hotel, okay?"

"This~" The two hesitated a little embarrassed. Their job is to pick up people, but they end up with someone else in a car, and if something goes wrong along the way, they may not be able to deal with it.

"That's it," Ye Jiaying said to Hong Xiuyan, "I'm the director, it's not good to leave the rest of the crew to take Xiuyan's car, I'll still take the film festival organizer's car with Brother Chen and them, and let Xiao Yao take your car." ”

"Okay!" Hong so-yeon nodded in agreement.

Hong Xiuyan also saw the embarrassment of the two staff members, and she invited Ye Jiaying's mother and son to take her own car mainly because she wanted to chat with Xiao Yao on the road, and now that Xiao Yao got into her car, she was also satisfied.

Ye Jiaying told the two film festival staff again, and the two also nodded and agreed.

The Seoul International Film Festival does not have an actor award, and the most important crew member of the participating films is the director, and the most important reception object of the two festival organizers is Ye Jiaying. For these two people, as long as Ye Jiaying is in their car, it is not a big problem for others to take someone else's car.

"Okay, Minyi, you come with me to take Sister Xiuyan's car. Xiao Yao had no objection, and turned back to Pei Minyi. When he came to South Korea this time, Xiao Yao didn't bring Fang Yi, so he only brought Pei Minyi over.

After the discussion, everyone set off for the parking lot.

Hong Xiuyan also came to pick up the airport this time with an assistant and driver. After arriving at the parking lot, Hong Xiuyan asked her assistant to drive, and asked Pei Minyi to sit in the co-pilot, and she sat in the back seat with Xiao Yao. After the vehicle departed, Hong Xiuyan also chatted with Xiao Yao about some of their recent situations during the time they were separated.

Incheon Airport is located in the famous port city of Incheon in South Korea, more than 50 kilometers from the center of Seoul, and it took about an hour for the group to arrive at the hotel arranged by the organizers of the film festival.

After helping Ye Jiaying and her entourage complete the check-in procedures and explain some of the subsequent itinerary, the two staff members of the film festival organizers said goodbye.

It's March, and the average temperature in Yanjing and Seoul is below 10 degrees Celsius, which is still relatively cold, and everyone's clothing is still relatively thick. Xiao Yao didn't need to take a shower and change clothes after getting off the plane, so he directly invited Hong Xiuyan to his room.

Xiao Yao's room is an ensuite, with a bedroom inside and a living room outside. After Xiao Yao entered the room, he beckoned Hong Xiuyan and the assistant to sit down in the living room, took two bottles of water from the mini Xiaoice box and handed them to them, asked them to wait, and then carried the box into the bedroom to pack their luggage.

Hong Xiuyan came to Xiao Yao and Ye Jiaying this time, and she also wanted to do her best to be a landlord and entertain Xiao Yao to have a fun time in South Korea. When Xiao Yao settled his luggage and came out of the bedroom, Hong Xiuyan also asked directly about Xiao Yao's itinerary.

Xiao Yao came to South Korea this time mainly to accompany Ye Jiaying to participate in the film festival, except for finding time to visit Liu Youyuan and meet him to catch up with him, Xiao Yao himself has no special work and schedule. As for the itinerary of the film festival, Xiao Yao is not very clear, so he has to ask Ye Jiaying.

So, Xiao Yao and Hong Xiuyan sat for a while, and then went to Ye Jiaying's room again.

Hong Xiuyan didn't plan to entertain Xiao Yao alone, but also wanted to entertain Ye Jiaying, so after entering Ye Jiaying's room, Hong Xiuyan asked about the itinerary of the mother and son.

"There's nothing to do today, tomorrow I'm going to communicate with the relevant staff of the film festival organizer about the arrangements for the activities during the film festival, but I can just go with Producer Chen, Xiao Yao doesn't have to go together. After listening to Hong Xiuyan's intention, Ye Jiaying said with a smile, "Actually, except for the three occasions of walking the red carpet with us at the opening ceremony of the film festival, the meeting at the film screening and the award ceremony at the closing ceremony, Xiao Yao can move freely at other times." You can discuss the itinerary and activities yourself, as for me, you don't have to bother, just take Xiao Yao to play. ”

Although Xiao Yao came to South Korea for her movie, Ye Jiaying didn't want to limit Xiao Yao too much. Xiao Yao has been to the United States and Europe many times, but he rarely goes to Japan and South Korea next door. It is rare to come to South Korea once, Ye Jiaying hopes that Xiao Yao can have a good time and have fun in South Korea during this time.

"This, okay!" Hong Xiuyan saw Ye Jiaying say this, and she was not reluctant, she turned her head and asked Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao, what are you more interested in in South Korea? I have been free in the past few days, and I can be your guide." ”

If you want to say that the most famous tourist destination in South Korea, it is undoubtedly Jeju Island, which is also the only place Xiao Yao wants to visit. But Jeju Island is hundreds of kilometers away from Seoul, and there is still a sea in between, he is here to participate in the film festival this time, and it is not appropriate to leave the crew and run so far alone, so Xiao Yao still dismissed the idea of going to Jeju Island and decided to stay in Seoul.

As the capital of South Korea, Seoul is also a good city. Ancient buildings and modern buildings coexist in the city, and there are many places of interest and modern tourist attractions. But in terms of modernization, Xiao Yao has been to New York and Los Angeles many times, and in terms of historical monuments, Seoul obviously cannot be compared with Huaxia, so Xiao Yao is really not interested in Seoul's tourist attractions.

"I want to go to your company to have a look, is that okay?" After thinking about it, Xiao Yao raised his head and said to Hong Xiuyan.

In this world, Hallyu culture is also relatively popular. Xiao Yao is particularly interested in Korean entertainment companies, especially wanting to see the trainee culture of the Korean entertainment industry, so he had the idea of visiting Korean entertainment companies. Hong so-yeon's agency is called KM, a giant Korean artist planning and agency company of .entertainment, and the company's headquarters is in Seoul.

"You mean you want to visit KM Entertainment's headquarters?" Hong Xiuyan asked Xiao Yaodao.

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, and continued, "Of course, if it's inconvenient, forget it, I'm also temporary, don't worry too much about it, I don't want to embarrass you." ”

"Don't be embarrassed!" Hong Xiuyan smiled, "You are a big star in China, and you are very well-known in the world, you want to visit the headquarters of KM Entertainment, we must be very welcome." When I go back tonight, I'll tell the company's senior management that I can take you to visit tomorrow. ”

"Okay, then it's troublesome. Xiao Yao nodded in thanks, and continued, "There is one more thing I want to trouble Nuna." ”

"What? If I can do it, I'll do my best to help you do it. Hong Xiuyan said.

"It's not that hard. Xiao Yao smiled, "This time in Seoul, in addition to attending film festivals and visiting your company, I don't plan to go outside and wander around." I want to do some music work in my free time, and I would like to ask you to help me find a recording studio in Seoul. The cost is not a problem, I don't need you to help me fight for any discounts, I will pay according to the price, mainly I want you to recommend me a place where the equipment and musical instruments are more complete, and more safe and reliable. ”

"This is very easy to do!" Hong Xiuyan smiled, "We have a recording studio in our company, the equipment must be the most advanced in Asia, at least in Asia, and the place is absolutely safe and reliable. If you want to work, why don't you use our company's recording studio!"

"Isn't this very good, will it delay your company's original recording work?" Xiao Yao hesitated.

Generally speaking, large companies' own internal recording studios will not be rented out, so when Xiao Yao records outside, he usually looks for the kind of small recording studio that has rental business.

"There's nothing wrong with that," Hong Xiuyan said, "There is more than one recording studio in our company, and it is rare for all of them to be used at the same time, so it shouldn't be a problem to divide one room for you to use." ”

"What about the cost?" Xiao Yao asked again. For the use of KM's in-house recording studio, Xiao Yao is not averse.

"I can't say anything about this," Hong Xiuyan said with a smile, "I haven't rented a recording studio, and I don't know much about the cost of renting a recording studio now, so I have to go back and ask the people in the company at night to know." ”

"But," Hong continued, "I don't think he will charge you anything based on what I know about our boss." ”

"I don't want money, that's to let me exchange the song for it?" Xiao Yao immediately understood what Hong Xiuyan meant, and said with a smile, "I don't dare to guarantee this!"

Xiao Yao once helped Wan Peiling's Chinese girl group write a Korean song "ALONE" on that electronic music program, and later Xiao Yao sold the copyright of that song to the company where the girl group worked, and the Huaxia entertainment company sold the cover copyright of that song to an entertainment company in South Korea.

The Korean entertainment company that bought the cover copyright of the Korean song from Huaxia's entertainment company was KM. Later, after the song became popular in South Korea, Xiao Siqi asked Xiao Yao to invite him to sing, Xiao Siqi told Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao knew, and he still remembers it.

The song was not invited at the beginning, but this time I sent it to the door, and I believe that most of the KM executives will bring up the old things again. Compared with the rental cost of a good song for more than ten days in a recording studio, as long as the executives of any entertainment company are not stupid, they will definitely choose the former.

However, Xiao Yao's temperament is not the kind of person who will be manipulated. If you want me to write songs for you, I have to write them for you? The big deal is that I don't need your recording studio, so I can rent it myself. Seoul is so big, and you're afraid you won't be able to find a rental recording studio?

Of course, Xiao Yao is not determined not to write songs for KM's artists. Whether to write a song or not, the main thing is to see the attitude of the other party at the time, the artist who asked him to write the song, and Xiao Yao's interest and mood at that time, so he said such an uncertain word to Hong Xiuyan, which can be regarded as a preventive shot in advance.
