Chapter 485: Why Didn't You See Young?

The party on the night of their arrival in Vieques was an added bonus for the models, and from the next day, the team was back to work. Chen Xuan and the models continued to shoot hard photos of the swimsuit special, while Xiao Yao and Luis continued their diving training in the nearby waters.

Although Vieques is inhabited, the entire island covers an area of only 132 square kilometres and is inhabited by less than 10,000 people, while the island of Puerto Rico, where San Juan is located, covers an area of nearly 9,000 square kilometres and is inhabited by more than 3 million people. Compared to San Juan, Vieques doesn't really have much to do. The models already knew that Xiao Yao was learning to dive with a diving instructor and wanted to get O's diving license before leaving, so in the past few days in Vieques, the models who did not have a shooting task did not come to Xiao Yao as a translator and tour guide to take them out to play.

During the day on the second day of arriving at Vieques, Xiao Yao and Louis spent most of their time diving training in the sea not far from the filming location. When there is a suitable wave, the two will come out of the sea, and Louis teaches Xiao Yao to surf by the way. When the two of them were tired of being in the water, they ran to the shore and found a suitable place to watch the models on the beach take pictures. This day was really fulfilling and pleasant.

Whether it is the hard photo shoot of the models or Xiao Yao's diving and surfing training, they are all carried out in the daytime when the light is better. When night fell, the models finished shooting, and Xiao Yao and Luis's diving and surfing lessons ended.

When he was in San Juan before, Xiao Yao rarely went out to surf at night, but now he has begun to learn diving and surfing, and he consumes a lot of physical strength during the day, and Xiao Yao will not go out to run around at night. After dinner and a shower, Xiao Yao lay comfortably on the sofa in the room and played with the computer.

"Knock~" There was a knock outside the door.

"It's coming!" Xiao Yao shouted, got up and opened the door.

"Who is it at night?" Xiao Yao couldn't help muttering on the way to open the door.

During this time, no matter how crazy Xiao Yao played with the models during the day, he never went to the models' residences at night, even when he was neighbors with the models on Pado Island. Similarly, the models never came to his residence at night to look for him, and they all went out to play with him during the day, and when someone knocked on the door, Xiao Yao inevitably had some doubts in his heart.

"Yang, good evening!" Xiao Yao opened the door, and a middle-aged white man greeted Xiao Yao with a smile.

"Mr. Goodman, good evening!" Xiao Yao replied with a smile, "Is there something wrong?"

The man's name is Elbert Goodman, and he is the leader of the team for this Eva swimsuit special. In addition to Chen Xuan's decision on hard photo shooting, other things such as itinerary arrangement, logistics support, event arrangement and even documentary shooting are all decided by him. Although Xiao Yao temporarily joined the filming team this time, it was requested by Chen Xuan, if Elbert Goodman, the person in charge of the team's food, clothing, housing and transportation, did not nod, it would be difficult for Xiao Yao to join. Xiao Yao had dealt with him before he came, and he was naturally very polite and polite to him.

"Just call me Elbert," laughed Elbert Goodman, "and I do have something to talk to you about, do you have time now?"

"Of course!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, "Is it okay to talk in my room?"

"Of course!" Elbert Goodman nodded, and stepped in.

"Please be seated!" Xiao Yao asked Elbert Goodman to sit down on the couch, went to pour him a glass of water, and then sat down across from him.

"Have you had a good past few days?" Elbert Goodman, who sat down, did not immediately get to the point, but asked Xiao Yao with a smile.

"Very pleasant!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "Very good in all aspects, this is definitely a very wonderful experience for me." ”

"Speaking of which, I would like to thank you once again. Xiao Yao clasped his hands together, bowed his head and made a gesture of thanks, "Thank you for agreeing to me to join this extraordinary team temporarily." ”

"You're welcome!" Elbert Goodman smiled and waved his hand, "You've done a lot of work, too." In particular, you get along very well with the models, and the interaction with the girls is very exciting, which makes our documentary a lot more interesting, and I'm glad you're here. It was a win-win decision for us!"

"Speaking of documentaries," says Elbert Goodman, "I came to you this time for something related to documentaries. ”

"Oh, what is it?" Xiao Yao asked.

"You know, yesterday's party, we also recorded it as documentary material. "The Spanish song you sang at the party yesterday was amazing, and the atmosphere was so good that we would definitely be editing it when we did the final editing of the documentary." But here's the copyright issue of your song. You know, our documentaries are going to be shown on TV. ”

It is certainly a commercial activity for a documentary to be broadcast on a television station. Since it is a commercial activity, there are issues of portrait rights and copyright.

Xiao Yao knew that he was going to make a documentary before he came, and he didn't care about being on TV, since he was coming, he had already talked to Eva about portrait rights. But he didn't plan to perform and sing before he came, so the copyright of the song was not discussed. The party was prepared in advance, and the copyright of the song performed by that band had already been negotiated by Eva, but Xiao Yao's song was temporarily forced out by the models, and if the documentary was to be broadcast on the TV station, this issue had to be discussed first. The laws in the United States are much stricter in this regard than in China, and the more well-known and large companies like Eva, the more cautious they are in these areas.

"So that's it," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "This is not a problem, you can cut it in and broadcast it directly, and I will give you the copyright to use that song for free." ”

"Really, that's great!" said Elbert Goodman happily. Although Eva is not short of that money, it is naturally better to be able to get the right to use it for free.

"But I also have something I'd like you to help with. Xiao Yao continued, "It's not a quid pro quo, whether you agree or not, I will give you the right to use the song for free." ”

"Well, you say. As long as I can do it, I will do my best. Elbert Goodman nodded.

"My thing is also about the song from last night's party. Xiao Yao said, "My song has not been officially released yet, but it will always be released in the future." I want you to give me a copy of the footage you shot from last night's party, and I'll edit it myself, and then make a music video for that song. When that song is officially released, I don't have to shoot a separate MV, I just use it as the official MV for that song. ”

After Elbert Goodman mentioned last night's song, Xiao Yao remembered the problem of the MV. There were twelve of Eva's supermodels at last night's party, and the documentary team must have filmed them all. If you use the video footage from last night's party to make the MV, it is equivalent to twelve Eva's supermodels co-starring in his MV. A MV that uses twelve Eva supermodels as actors, how awesome it should be! Thinking of this, Xiao Yao's idea came up.

"Great idea!" Elbert Goodman also reacted immediately, gave a thumbs up and praised Xiao Yao with a smile, "You are so smart! The MV co-starred by twelve Eva supermodels, there will definitely be a lot of people who want to watch it!"

"There's no problem with the footage you're filmed. "But I want to remind you that music videos are also commercial activities, and there are also issues of image rights. The girls came to shoot the swimsuit specials and knew they were going to shoot a documentary, and Eva definitely had the right to use their portraits, but your music video didn't. Of course, seeing how you get along with them these days, it shouldn't be difficult to get them to authorize. But you can't let them become the actors of your MV without knowing it, you should let them know in advance. ”

"Understood, I will!" Xiao Yao said, "Thank you for the reminder, I'll talk to them tomorrow." ”

"Okay, I'm done talking, so I won't continue to disturb your rest. Elbert Goodman stood up and stretched out his hand to Xiao Yao, "May that song and that music video of yours be a hit, goodbye!"

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao stood up and shook Elbert Goodman's hand, and sent him to the door.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yao got up early and came to the filming location by the sea, and then one by one the models came over to talk to them about the portrait rights of the MV. The models have a good impression of Xiao Yao, and when they heard that Xiao Yao was going to make a MV for their performance at the party the night before, they all expressed their unconditional support, and none of them asked Xiao Yao for payment.

In the evening, Elbert Goodman came to Xiao Yao's room again and brought him footage of the previous night's party.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao took the USB flash drive containing the video materials, and thanked Elbert Goodman again.

"You're welcome," said Elbert Goodman, smiling and waving his hand, "I hear that the girls have already promised you." ”

"Yes," Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "Elbert, there's one more thing I want to ask you to help with?"

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Elbert Goodman asked Xiao Yao with a smile without being impatient.

"You know, the models agreed that I could do their videos for the music, and it was all free. Xiao Yao said, "I also want to do something for them and express my gratitude to them." At the same time, I am grateful for the care that this team has taken care of me these days and want to do something for the people behind this team. After tomorrow's shooting, everyone will be leaving the day after tomorrow, and I'm going to do a show for you tomorrow night and sing for everyone, what do you think of that idea?"

"Very well!" said Elbert Goodman with a smile and nodded, "I heard you sing at the party that night, and a lot of people liked it!

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao said, "In terms of performance, I can do it alone, and I don't need you to hire a band for me." Of course, you can also shoot and record this performance as material for your documentary, and I will give you free access to all the songs performed in the performance. ”

"Okay, no problem!" Elbert Goodman happily agreed, and then asked, "What equipment do you need, and do you have any requirements for the venue and set-up?"

"In terms of equipment, I don't need a lot of things, so I made a list. Xiao Yao handed Elbert Goodman a piece of paper and said, "In terms of venue layout, I can't say that there are any requirements, but I have an idea, and I can help you arrange it together tomorrow." ”

"Okay!" Elbert Goodman took the piece of paper handed by Xiao Yao and looked at it, and said with a smile, "Then it's decided!"

The third day of my arrival in Vieques was the last day of the swimsuit special.

That afternoon, after taking the last photo of the last model, Chen Xuan specially gathered all the models and staff, announced to them that the shoot was over, and expressed his gratitude to them. Just as everyone applauded each other and thanked each other, Elbert Goodman came over and announced that a musical performance had been arranged for everyone in the evening, and that celebrities had been invited to perform for everyone, so that everyone could watch the performance in the evening.

According to the itinerary, after a night's rest on Vieques tonight, we will leave for San Juan early tomorrow morning, and then we will go our separate ways at the airport in San Juan. Everyone has been together for more than ten days, and they have some feelings. It is a very good arrangement to organize another group activity on the eve of separation, and everyone to play together.

Everyone was very happy to hear this arrangement from Elbert Goodman. However, when asked which singer or band was invited, Elbert Goodman played mysteriously and refused to reveal who the performers were, saying that they would find out when everyone went in the evening.

After dinner, everyone regrouped and headed for the show.

The audience for this performance was only their shooting team, and there were no locals involved, and the venue of the performance was in the filming area they rented, not far from everyone's residence. You don't need to take a car, you can just walk there.

"Why didn't you see Young? Who saw Young?" A group of models giggled and walked a few steps, Jacqueline suddenly found that there was no Xiao Yao in the team, and couldn't help but ask the people around her curiously, "Shouldn't Yang also participate in tonight's group activities?"

"Yes, why didn't you see Young?" Abby, who was walking beside her, looked around, and also didn't find Xiao Yao, and said curiously.
