Chapter 779: Another One?
In a few days, there will be only one Chinese and Korean star concert in Shencheng, and that is the concert called "Infinite Starry Sky". More than a month ago, Haiyan Haiyan Entertainment asked Xiao Yao to write the song for the 101 girl group, and a large part of the reason was for that concert. So Xiao Yao is relatively clear about the situation of that concert.
More than a month ago, Xiao Yao already knew that the 101 girl group would definitely participate in that concert, and the news that Yang Shiyun was going to participate in that concert, Xiao Yao only knew about it now after listening to Lin Jingliang. However, Xiao Yao was not very surprised when he heard the news.
The concert was jointly organized by several entertainment companies in Huaxia and South Korea, and the singers participating in the concert were mainly traffic stars and popular idol groups, unlike CCTV's Huahan Song Club, which had ZZ factors, it was not so serious, and the topic and entertainment were higher, which is a very high-profile event in the entertainment industry at present.
Now that Yang Shiyun's three songs have been released online on the music website, it is currently the hot publicity period, and this concert with a high degree of attention is naturally a very ideal platform to promote new songs.
Although Yang Shiyun's new song has not been released for a long time, she participated in the Haiyan 101 girl group selection program last year, and she also helped Haiyan make money, and YH and Haiyan have also cooperated. With the strength of a large company like YH and the previous cooperation experience between the two, it is not surprising that Haiyan Video, as one of the organizers of the concert, temporarily added Yang Shiyun to the performance list.
Yang Shiyun was the loser of last year's 101 girl group selection program, and now putting her and the 101 girl group on the same platform to perform together is also a very topical thing, plus these two groups of performers are singing songs written by Xiao Yao, which is even more gimmicky. And once Xiao Yao also appeared at the concert, this gimmick was even more sufficient, and the organizers would definitely not let it go.
Xiao Yao knew that Lin Jingliang wanted to appear on his own to help Yang Shiyun increase her popularity and influence, but there were not only Yang Shiyun at that concert, but there were also eleven other girls. Xiao Yao felt that unless he was an audience and went quietly, no one knew, otherwise as long as he appeared publicly, it seemed impossible to only contact Yang Shiyun and completely ignore the 101 girl group.
"Ah Yun means that she knows that I went, and that I was watching from the audience below, right?" Xiao Yao asked Lin Jingliang, "So I don't have to go backstage to meet her and cheer her on or something?"
"That's what Ah Yun means," Lin Jingliang said with a smile, "but I don't think you, a big star, went to the concert quietly and quietly." Why do you have to show up in public, go backstage to support her, and cheer her on!"
"Sure enough!" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly in his heart, and said to Lin Jingliang, "Lao Lin, I know about this concert you said." But Ah Yun wasn't the only one who wanted to sing the new song I wrote at that concert. If I show up in public, I can't just go and cheer for Ah Yun alone. ”
"I know that there are also girl groups that Ah Yun participated in the audition last year but did not choose, and will also sing your song at the concert. Lin Jingliang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, there is a combination of eleven people on one side, and Ah Yun on the other, even if you take care of both sides, none of them can compare with Ah Yun's attention." ”
"Okay, since you've said so, I'll go in the face of you, the art director!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile.
"No, no, you weren't what I told you to go. Lin Jingliang smiled and shook his fingers, "I just gave you a suggestion to relax and relax! I didn't ask you to go to the concert to cheer for Ah Yun as the art director I worked with!"
"You uncles and nephews, are you all bored?!" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly again, "Okay, I happen to be free these days and want to go to the concert to have fun!"
"That's it!" Lin Jingliang nodded with a smile, and continued, "By the way, Ah Yun will come to Shencheng in advance to prepare for the concert, and she will arrive in Shencheng the day after tomorrow." As a landlord, aren't you?"
"She came to Shencheng to participate in the concert, and there must be a concert organizer responsible for hospitality in terms of food and accommodation!" Xiao Yao's eyes widened and said, "When I went to Hong Kong Island, she was a tour guide for me, don't you want me to be a tour guide and take her to Shencheng to play, right?"
"No," Lin Jingliang shook his head and said, "She came to Shencheng in advance to prepare for the concert." In the two days leading up to the concert, she had to find a place to practice. I heard from the people in the studio that you also have an exclusive recording studio in Yin Xi's studio, and the conditions are very good in all aspects, as well as a practice room, so..."
"Isn't the rehearsal and practice also arranged by the concert organizer?" Xiao Yao was a little speechless.
"The rehearsal is on the stage of the concert venue, and it is indeed arranged by the concert organizer," Lin Jingliang said, "but the previous practice was the singer's own responsibility." Of course, normally it should be Ah Yun's team and YH company to help her find a place, but since you have a place, it is better to use your place, so that if you are free, maybe you can give her guidance again. It's work that can make YH pay for it, and I think they'll agree. ”
"Isn't it okay to design a performance costume for Ah Yun by the way, and let YH pay for it, and I can make another profit?" Xiao Yao asked angrily.
"You also provide this kind of business?" Lin Jingliang was stunned, and then said happily, "By the way, you also have a design studio here, those designers look good, good idea!"
"What's a good idea?" Xiao Yao said, "No matter how good the designers in our studio are, they can compare to you? Why don't you make a costume for Ah Yun yourself?"
"Aren't I going to the filming location to help you keep an eye on the construction of the set?" Lin Jingliang said with a smile, "Besides, my relationship with Ah Yun is secret, so I never make her a costume, lest the two of us appear together and arouse suspicion from others." ”
"I'm really convinced!" Xiao Yao was speechless again.
"Okay, that's it!" Lin Jingliang patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder, "In the evening, I will tell Ah Yun that your crew's preparations are temporarily over, and you have a few days of free time, and it is estimated that Ah Yun will call you soon." You just happen to be free, the studio happens to be empty, the designer happens to be not busy, there is nothing to do with me, let alone leak!"
"Okay, the latter two, we do have this kind of business, so what you said is just right, and it is basically true," Xiao Yao nodded helplessly, "I will tell Ah Yun like this." ”
"Interesting!" Lin Jingliang gave a thumbs up, and then said goodbye to Xiao Yao, "You don't have to send my plane tomorrow!
After bidding farewell to Lin Jingliang, Xiao Yao himself was ready to go home.
Because he, the director, was poured a lot of wine by everyone during the dinner, Xiao Yao was inconvenient to drive by himself, so he pulled Pei Minyi, who didn't drink much, as a driver to drive him home.
Although Xiao Yao drank a lot of wine, he didn't drink too much, far from the last time he needed help to walk during a meal, and he was still very conscious. On the way back, Xiao Yao remembered Lin Jingliang's behavior, and couldn't help but ask Pei Minyi, who was driving: "Minyi, do you say that talented people have a bit of a strange personality and a bit of strange behavior?"
"yes," Pei Minyi smiled and nodded, "Aren't you an obvious example?"
"Go!" Xiao Yao glared at Pei Minyi and couldn't help laughing again.
"Are you talking about Teacher Lin?" Pei Minyi thought for a while, and then continued, "I think you and Teacher Lin seem to be very compatible. The two of you are in your twenties, and you are both separated by generations, but how long has it been, and you have started to call Teacher Lin Lao Lin. Maybe this is called the gathering of things by like, and the division of people by groups. ”
"Okay, okay!" Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand, ending the topic.
There was silence in the car for a while, Pei Minyi saw that Xiao Yao had no intention of speaking, and couldn't help but tentatively ask, "Boss, what do you think we can find you another assistant?"
"What's the matter, do you think it's hard to be alone, or do you not want to do it anymore?" Xiao Yao said with a smile as he looked at Pei Minyi.
"I want to resign. Pei Minyi said, "Although I am nominally your assistant, I have also worked for other people, and I have also worked in two film crews to do things in the costume and makeup departments." After following this movie, I wanted to open my own studio. But don't worry, as long as you are in need, I will definitely give priority to your work, if there is a conflict in the business, I will push off other people's orders, lose money, and will also complete your work next. ”
"Okay!" Xiao Yao smiled, "I accept the priority to take my job, but there is no need to push down other people's orders." ”
"You agreed?" Pei Minyi said happily.
"Of course. Xiao Yao said, "I know that a big reason why you agreed to be my makeup artist and assistant was because of the special effects makeup skills that I would have, and I knew that you were unwilling to be an assistant all the time, and sooner or later there would be this day." You're a well-known stylist in the industry now, and you've long been able to stand on your own, so you can't always be my assistant. ”
"Boss, thank you!" Pei Minyi said seriously.
Pei Minyi, a star assistant, is also a very strange existence in the industry.
As an assistant, she doesn't really have much work to do. When I have nothing to do, I run to the studio studio, mingle with stylists, photographers, studio designers, and film crews, and the skills I know have long exceeded the requirements of assistants and makeup artists in the general celebrity private team.
And at the beginning, from Xiao Yao suggested that she go to Youyu to open a beauty live broadcast, she began to accumulate fame, and then with Xiao Yao taking her to style other stars, whether in the industry or among ordinary people, she is now a well-known stylist with a good reputation and popularity.
Pei Minyi knew that the way she was now was the result of Xiao Yao's intentional connivance and cultivation. Originally, Pei Minyi thought that Xiao Yao wanted to train a star stylist as a member of his private team to highlight the difference of his demonic star, but now after listening to Xiao Yao's words, she found that Xiao Yao had already planned to let her stand on her own, and her heart was full of gratitude, and this thank you was extremely serious.
"It's nothing," Xiao Yao waved his hand, "It's a good thing to be self-motivated, I won't hinder your development." ”
"Boss, before I leave, I will definitely help you choose a new assistant," Pei Minyi said, "Find a good successor." ”
"You don't have to worry too much about recruiting assistants, this is something that should still be responsible. Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "But when you tell her about it, you can help me tell her, my assistant doesn't need too professional skills, the most important thing is to be reliable." If you don't get the right one soon, it won't affect you to go out and open a studio. When necessary, I can temporarily transfer someone from the studio back office for me to use temporarily. ”
"Boss," Pei Minyi was about to say something, but was interrupted by a ringing phone.
Xiao Yao waved his hand and picked up the phone, and Pei Minyi swallowed back what he was about to say.
Seeing that the caller ID on the mobile phone was Yang Shiyun's name, Xiao Yao was not surprised. It seems that Lin Jingliang called Yang Shiyun as soon as they separated. Judging from the time, Yang Shiyun called herself immediately after talking to Lin Jingliang.
Xiao Yao was very clear about the purpose of Yang Shiyun's call, and he knew how to answer.
According to what he promised Lin Jingliang before, Xiao Yao did not say that it was Lin Jingliang's request, but only said that the preparations of the crew had come to an end for the time being, he happened to be free these days, the recording studio happened to be empty, and the designers of the studio were not busy, and they all agreed to the requirements that Yang Shiyun said tentatively.
After ending the call with Yang Shiyun, Xiao Yao put away his mobile phone. Pei Minyi was about to speak, but unexpectedly Xiao Yao's mobile phone rang again.
Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone again, and after looking at the caller ID of his phone, some surprised expressions appeared on his face this time.
"Hello senior, I'm Zhaodi!" After the phone was connected, a girl's voice came from inside.
"Zhao Di," Xiao Yao replied with a smile, "Aren't you supposed to be busy with concerts lately? Why do you still have time to call me?"
"We've been working on concerts lately, but there's always time to make a phone call. Lai Zhaodi said on the phone, "Senior, how is your movie going, is it on?"
"Not yet," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I remember that when I cooked for you, I seemed to tell you that the heroine of the movie was my girlfriend, she went to the mountains to teach, and she was going to go for two months, and it was not time yet, she hadn't come back yet, and of course the movie hadn't started yet." ”
"Oh!" Zhaodi said "oh" on the phone, "I'm sorry, I forgot!"
"It's okay," Xiao Yao said, "but thank you for your concern!"
Xiao Yao seemed to hear other people's voices on the phone, and guessed that Zhao Di should not only be around her now, but also other members of the girl group, so she said "you" directly.
"Why did you suddenly remember the movie that cares about me?" Xiao Yao asked again, "Do you want to play a cameo role in the movie again?" But I seem to remember that I said that there is no suitable character for you in this movie. ”
"No, no," Zhao Di hurriedly said, "I'm not here to ask for a role." I wanted to ask, how is your film being prepared, and are you free these days?"
"What are you doing?" Xiao Yao said strangely.
"We are going to come to Shencheng the day after tomorrow to prepare for the concert. Lai Zhaodi said on the phone, "Before the performance, we have to rehearse." We know that you have your own recording studio in Shencheng, and there is a practice room in the recording studio, so I wondered if I could go to the practice room of your recording studio to rehearse after coming to Shencheng. If you have time, you can also guide us by the way! Of course, we use your practice room, Haiyan Entertainment will pay for it, you don't have to be polite to them!"
"What? Another one? You can't negotiate it, right?" Xiao Yao smiled a little speechlessly.
