After the soundtrack is done, Xiao Yao's one-day crew journey is over. Next, it was time to record the electronic music song and shoot the music video.

"Still, you don't have to go to the studio in the afternoon, there's another task for you. After lunch the day after going to visit Zhou Jingyi's crew, Xiao Yao found Fang Yi and said, "The night before yesterday, I posted a video on the Internet to recruit MV actors, and some people should have sent emails to apply. I left my work mailbox, you help me sift through the emails first, filter out the advertising emails that are not for the application, the spam emails, and the emails of applicants who are too far away from Los Angeles and will definitely not be able to reach Los Angeles tomorrow, and the emails that are too special in appearance, and I will pick people after the recording in the afternoon. ”

"Understood. Fang still nodded, and then asked again: "How many new emails do you have to sift?"

"I don't know," Xiao Yao shook his head, "The premise is that I haven't opened an email since I sent the video in the evening, but I think with my appeal, after a day or two, there will be a hundred or so letters." ”

"Okay, I see. I'll see for myself. Fang still agreed.

After Xiao Yao finished explaining, he went back to his room and cleaned up briefly, ready to leave for the recording studio of "Daydream", but before he could go out, there was a knock on his room door.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yao opened the door and found Fang Yi standing outside the door, holding a laptop in his hand.

"How many new emails did you just say are there in the mailbox?" Fang still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were staring at Xiao Yao unkindly.

"I guess there's a hundred. Xiao Yao said, "What's the matter? It won't be that there won't be even a hundred, right? Even if there isn't, it doesn't matter, I just need nineteen people, not even nineteen, right?" Nathan Donal had already replied that there were a total of eleven people in his parkour team who could participate in his music video shoot.

"Nineteen, three hundred times more!" Fang still flipped the laptop in his hand, pointed the screen at Xiao Yao and said, "Look at it yourself! There are so many emails, you let me go through it in one afternoon, I can't finish it when I'm tired!"

"Damn!" Xiao Yao looked at the computer screen, also startled. It shows that the number of new emails is "6195"!

"Why are there so many?" Xiao Yao said strangely, "I said that only thirty people are needed, and I said that the request is from around Los Angeles, and the people who can gather in Los Angeles City tomorrow are there." ”

"I checked it on the Internet," Fang still said, "The video you posted the night before yesterday was posted on the PV with YRF's account, right? Some netizens revealed in the comments below the video that you are the Y in YRF, a member of the founder team of parkour." Now it's all spread on the Internet, and almost everyone who plays parkour is discussing it online! I've just read a few emails, and almost half of them are not for recruitment, but for asking if you're the Y in YRF. ”

"Oh!" Xiao Yao said suddenly, "It's okay! You can ignore all the emails that ask about this, just filter them out." ”

"That's fine, but even if you don't count the emails confirming your identity, there should be 3,000 emails left, and I'll take the time to read those emails that confirm your identity. I can't finish it alone," Fang still said, "I still can't complete the task you gave me." ”

"Then you leave Minyi behind to help and sift through the mail with you. Xiao Yao said, "It doesn't matter if you can't finish sifting." I only need nineteen actors, and you can help me pick dozens of candidates who live near Los Angeles and have a reasonable body and appearance, and don't read the emails in the back if you can't finish reading them. By the way, try to pick some candidates with different races, different skin tones, different hair colors, and different appearance types. ”

"Okay!" Fang still said, "What about discussing you on the Internet now that you are a parkour veteran? Do you want to make a statement on social media and respond?"

"No, even if I want to disclose YRF's identity, I have to do it with Shishi, Xu Fei, and the three of us. Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "It's not a scandal, let the Internet say it, just be busy with the email." ”

"That's it, I rushed to the studio to record. With one last word, Xiao Yao picked up his backpack and walked out of the room.

After arriving at the recording studio of "Daydream" with Xiao Siqi, Xiao Yao found that Keith Craig and Liv Paremer were already waiting for him in the studio.

"Don't you mind if I come to the prison field?" Keith Craig asked with a smile when he saw Xiao Yao arrive.

"This is your place, and I certainly don't mind. Xiao Yao replied with a smile.

"Are you ready?" Xiao Yao asked Liv Paremer, who was standing on the side, "Have you opened your voice?"

"It's open, and it's ready. Liv Paremer smiled and agreed, put a palm to her mouth, approached Xiao Yao and whispered, "Actually, when I practiced in the studio yesterday, Keith had already instructed me, and your father also told me some of your recording habits. I have a lot of confidence in myself now. ”

"It seems that when I went to the crew yesterday, these two were not idle!" Xiao Yao turned his head to look at Keith Craig and his father, turned back to Liv Paremer and smiled, "It's good to have faith! ”

Xiao Yao sat in front of the console, and Liv Parremer went to the recording studio with brisk steps, put on headphones and stood in front of the microphone.

"Alright, let's get started!" Xiao Yao put on the monitor headphones, called up the accompaniment saved in the device, said a word to Liv Paremer through the communication microphone, stretched out his finger to push the volume of the accompaniment, and pressed the play button.

Despite being collaborating with Xiao Yao for the first time, Liv Parremer has listened to his previous "Faded" and "SingMeToSleep" many times and has gained some insight into his electronic song style. She got the score of this song the afternoon before yesterday and began to familiarize herself, and yesterday she practiced in the studio listening to the accompaniment for a day, Keith Craig has helped her point out and correct some obvious mistakes, Xiao Siqi's points also made her not unfamiliar with Xiao Yao's recording for the first time, so the whole recording process was still very smooth.

"Great!" After listening to the finished recording with headphones on for the last time, Xiao Yao gave Liv Parremer a thumbs up through the glass window, signaling that the recording was over and she could come out. All that's left is some later sound repair work.

Liv Parremer smiled and nodded, pushed the door and left the recording room, but did not immediately return to the control room, but did not know where it went.

Xiao Yao didn't pay much attention to this, and immediately started the overall post-editing and adjustment of the song.

Counting music albums and song albums, Xiao Yao has already produced dozens of music works for himself alone, and his production experience at this time is not the same as before. So not only is the recording process of this song relatively fast, but the post-production is also completed quickly. After about two hours, Xiao Yao recorded the official version of this song, which is much more efficient than when he recorded "faded" for Gong Chen.

"OK, that's it, do you want to listen to it?" Xiao Yao copied the finished product to the USB flash drive for backup, then turned around and asked the two producers in the control room with a smile.

"Yes!" Keith Craig nodded with Xiao Siqi as he stepped forward. Although Liv Paremer also listened to the monitor headphones for a while while he was recording, the half-finished product that has not been post-processed is not the same as the finished product.

Before they could start, though, the door to the control room was pushed open, and the three of them turned their heads to look at the door.

"Damn!" When they saw the person who came in, Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao, father and son, were both startled.

The man who came in was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with a hood up over his head, a black elastic mask over his face, and only the area near his eyes was visible on his entire head.

The person who came in was petite and empty-handed, and this dress looked very much like his image in the MV, Xiao Yao quickly reacted that this was not a robbery. It stands to reason that it is impossible for his netizens and fans to know that they are recording in the studio of "Daydream", Xiao Yao thought of a possibility through the other party's figure, and asked tentatively: "Liv, what are you doing here?"

"It's me!" the man pulled down the mask on his face and put down the hat on his head, and sure enough, it was Liv Paremer, who had disappeared since leaving the studio. Apparently she had just left the studio and had gone to the locker room to change her clothes.

"Didn't you say that this song still needs to be made in the music video?" Liv Parremer laughed, "I wondered if I could also participate in the music video." I remember you said that the music video for this song is related to the music video for "faded" and "SingMeToSleep", and the style is similar, and I guess the costumes of the characters in that music video should be the same. You see that I have even prepared my own clothes, is this image okay?" said Liv Parremer and deliberately turned around in front of Xiao Yao.

"Your idea?" said Xiao Yao, looking sideways at Keith Craig. When Liv Parremer came in just now, only Keith Craig's expression was not at all surprised.

"Yes. Keith Craig nodded and admitted, "Of course, Liv herself would love to be part of the music video." I don't know if you've found those 30 actors, but I think there are not only three of the 30 actors, so there shouldn't be any problem with adding one, right?"

"Absolutely. Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, his gaze returned to Liv Parremer and said, "I agree!"

Although Liv Paremer is a little shorter, her body proportions are still good, and not everyone needs to show parkour moves, and not everyone is masked all the time, and those are only the majority of them. In the video recruiting actors, he emphasized the need for people who can parkour and most people will not show their faces, just telling everyone the most basic requirements to lower everyone's expectations, so as not to get dissatisfied with some people because they can't show their faces.

After Xiao Yao agreed to Liv Paremer's participation in the music video, Keith Craig and Liv Paremer were very happy, and they were also very satisfied when Xiao Yao showed them the recorded product.

When Xiao Yao returned to the hotel, it was already evening, and the clothes sent by Yin Xi had already arrived, and Fang Yi and Pei Minyi had already helped him pick out a lot of alternatives.

Xiao Yao first checked the clothes and masks sent by Yin Xi, Xiao Yao found that there were a total of thirty-five sets, and Yin Xi also sent five more sets for spare, in line with the principle of making the best use of things, Xiao Yao also temporarily decided to increase the number of actors filmed to thirty-six. Nathan Donal's team of eleven people, plus Liv Paremer, who brought her own clothes, means that Xiao Yao still has to pick out another twenty-four people from the alternatives selected by Fang Yi and Pei Minyi, and reply to the email to inform them of the time and place of the meeting.

At about nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Xiao Yao took Fang Yi and Pei Minyi to the agreed meeting place.

Due to the large number of actors, Xiao Yao's chosen meeting place was in a public parking lot. Xiao Yao had just appeared at the door of the parking lot, and Keith Craig, who had arrived early with the filming team, immediately greeted him.

"Young, you say it again, how many actors do you need for this MV shooting?" Keith Craig didn't say hello, and asked Xiao Yao with a strange expression when they met.

"Thirty, oh no, counting Liv, not counting me, it's thirty-six in total. Xiao Yao said, "Yin Xi sent five more sets of clothes, plus Liv who brought her own clothes, I temporarily added six people, is there any problem?"

"Of course there is a problem!" said Keith Craig, "the people in there are all actors you recruited, right? Not to mention thirty-six, sixty-three or more, we can't fit a bus at all!"

"Huh?" Xiao Yao was also stunned, "But there are only twenty-four of them in my email, plus the eleven people and Liv from a parkour team I played with before, it should only be thirty-six! Could it be that some organization is holding an event and setting the meeting place here?"

"Other organizing events?" laughed Keith Craig, "you can go in and see for yourself!" The filming team I invited was shocked and kept asking me what kind of big production I had, and I had invited so many actors. ”

Xiao Yao didn't speak anymore, and walked to the parking lot. After entering the parking lot, Xiao Yao found that there were a large number of people in the black pressure inside, not to mention thirty-six and sixty-three, and it was conservatively estimated that they were all over 100. And with just one glance, Xiao Yao knew that this was definitely not a collision with any other organizational activity, because most of these people were wearing black hooded sweatshirts and black masks on their faces.

Seeing more than 100 people gathered here in black clothes and masks, Xiao Yao felt that it was already a miracle that passers-by did not call the police and summoned the police!

"Which cars are ours?" asked Keith Craig.

"Those!" Keith Craig said, gesturing to a few cars.

Xiao Yao picked the tallest bus, kicked his feet on the side door twice and jumped to the top of the bus, waving his arms and shouting: "Hey, guys, be quiet, listen to me!"

Even without using any amplification tools, as soon as Xiao Yao's three-chamber resonant drama voice came out, the sound was clearly transmitted in the parking lot, and everyone's attention was quickly attracted.

"Hello everyone, I'm Jan Shaw, the person who posted a video to recruit MV actors. Xiao Yao saw that everyone quieted down and looked at him, and then said loudly, "Are everyone here to participate in the MV shooting?"

"Wow, Jan!"

"Looks like it's the guy in the video!"

"Yes!"

Everyone shouted in reply.

"But what I said in the video is that I need 30 actors, and there should only be more than 20 people who received my email reply!" Seeing that everyone shouted "yes", Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "The car we are going to give the actors can't fit so many people, and I only prepared more than 30 costumes!"

"It's okay, we can all perform for free!"

"You can add some more actors!"

"We prepared our own clothes, you don't need to prepare!"

"We came by car, we can drive with you, we don't need your car!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't have so many people, just pick as many as you want, and the rest of the people will go and watch!"

Everyone continued to shout.

It turned out that many of the twenty-four people Xiao Yao replied to the email were also from the parkour team. After receiving the invitation email replied by Xiao Yao, it is inevitable that he will show off in front of other teammates or friends in the team who have not been selected. Since someone in the team received Xiao Yao's reply to the email and knew the time and place of the gathering, it was not a secret that this time and place was in front of others.

Those who were not selected were unwilling, and many of them planned to come to the scene again to fight for it. Considering that Xiao Yao said that he had prepared thirty sets of clothes, in order to prevent Xiao Yao from rejecting them under this excuse, they all prepared their own costumes according to the dress of the characters in "Fades". Even if they weren't selected in the end, they didn't plan to miss the opportunity to see someone who was suspected of being one of the YRF veterans shoot the MV, even if they went to watch, they would come to join in the fun.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao said, "but now, first of all, please take off all the masks on your faces first." With so many of you gathered here like this, I'm afraid you'll call the police. ”
