Chapter 108: The Coolest Thing
Outside the gates of the Daydream studio, a black van, a four-seater convertible classic car and a sports SUV with a sunroof are parked. In the studio www.biquge.info the pen "Fun", a group of people are ready to go.
At Xiao Yao's suggestion, the first to go out were two photographers with cameras. They didn't get on the bus, one stood a little further across the road, and the other stood in front of the studio and began to film the scene of everyone leaving.
The crew members boarded the van straight out of the house, and guitarist Oliver Guy and bassist Vincent Valle sat directly in the back seat of the convertible with their instruments, leaning their guitars and bass directly against the backrest of the seat next to them. Drummer Lewandowski Lessin and keyboardist Marlon Meadowsa ran to the co-pilot seat at the same time. After some arguments, the larger Malone squeezed Lewandowski away and grabbed the co-pilot's seat, and Lewandowski could only beckon Oliver and Vincent to pick up his instrument and squeeze into the back seat with them.
The members of a top band are vying for seats in the car like children, just this part is very cute and joyful, and Xiao Yao, who is standing next to the cameraman at the door of the studio, also commands the cameraman to faithfully record this scene.
After watching several MV products shot by Xiao Yao yesterday, the entire team of "Daydream" recognized Xiao Yao's ability, not only agreed with Xiao Yao's MV idea, but also handed over the command of the entire team members to Xiao Yao in today's shooting activities.
On August 26, 2017, Keith Craig, who came out a little later, did not rush to the convertible, but stood in front of the camera lens and introduced, "We will try to raid every wedding scene that we can in time, this must be great!"
"OK, time is tight, we might be late!" Keith Craig waved his hand, turned and ran to the driver's seat of the convertible, pulled the door open and sat in. Xiao Yao also commanded the cameraman to follow Keith Craig for two steps. The slightly shaky lens shows the documentary style even more, and it seems more realistic.
"Okay, let's get in the car too. Hearing Keith Craig start the engine of the car, Xiao Yao also greeted the two cameramen and ran into the SUV behind.
The sunroof of the last SUV opened, and a cameraman stood up with the camera in his hand, leaned out of the sunroof, and continued to photograph the bandmates in the convertible car in front of them. Several of the band members in the convertible were excited about what they were going to do today, raising their hands and shouting. When Xiao Yao beckoned the driver of the SUV to speed over the convertible, several band members also waved happily at the cameraman.
The van and SUV picked up speed, and the two cars arrived outside the wedding site a little earlier. After getting out of the car, Xiao Yao and a cameraman entered the scene to shoot first. A cameraman stayed at the door to film several skilled workers who got off the van, opened the back door of the van, carried props and equipment, and then entered the wedding scene. When the technicians entered, the cameraman outside the door did not follow, but waited at the door to take footage of the band members for a while
The cameraman who entered in advance did not attract much attention to the wedding scene, and it is quite normal for a videographer to appear at the wedding scene, after all, many people will record the wedding process. But when a group of people entered the wedding hall carrying tubes with plastic film and cardboard tube packaging, the guests showed puzzled expressions. Xiao Yao, who helped the cameraman choose the shooting position and angle, greeted the skilled workers again, and instructed them to set up the equipment in the open space they had chosen, unpack and start working.
"Who are you, what are you doing here?" When they pulled out a curtain, someone at the scene finally calmed down, and a middle-aged man in his fifties stood up from the table, shouting and walking over to the busy workers.
"Oh~Oh~" Xiao Yao stood in front of the middle-aged man with a sliding step, put his hands in front of him to stop the middle-aged man and said, "We are not here to make trouble, today we are here to give a special surprise to the bride and groom." You'll know in a little bit what we're here for. You're going to love it, I promise!" The photographer in the venue also took the camera away from the busy technical workers, recording the communication between Xiao Yao and the middle-aged man.
Maybe seeing that even the technical workers who were fiddling with the equipment were all dressed in straight suits, not dressed like workers, but like guests who came to attend the wedding, and even less like they were here to make trouble, the middle-aged man was not too excited, but still asked Xiao Yao uneasily.
The white curtain is connected to two long square pipes in advance, as long as the two pipes are pulled apart, the middle is supported by a bracket, and then the square pipe below is fixed with the ground, and a curtain is erected. Since the stage is against the wall, it is possible to cover the front and back of the stage on both sides. Therefore, when Xiao Yao was communicating with the middle-aged man, several skilled workers with quick hands and feet had already built all the curtains.
At this time, Keith and several other band members also arrived outside the wedding site. After the five people got out of the car, they lowered their heads in an unusually low-key manner and quickly drilled into the curtain along the corner. Because the five people were wearing sunglasses on their faces, and they were all dressed in formal dresses, which was not much different from the dress of the guests at the scene, the dialogue between Xiao Yao and the middle-aged man in the middle of the venue and the curtain built behind Xiao Yao also attracted the attention of most of the guests on the scene, so they did not attract the attention of others when they entered the scene, until they saw the five of them get into the curtain, and the guests made some curious comments.
Xiao Yao was standing opposite the door, and naturally noticed the arrival of five people. After they entered the curtain, Xiao Yao also said to the middle-aged man: "Sir, can you please return to your seat for a while, I am going to invite the bride and groom to come to the front to receive their wedding gifts." With that, Xiao Yao invited the middle-aged man back to his seat, and went to the bride and groom at the other table to wave his hands and make a gesture of invitation. Although I don't know the bride and groom, at the wedding scene, the bride is naturally the bride in the wedding dress, and the groom is next to the bride, so it's not too easy to find.
Inside the curtain, Keith and several other band members also quickly adjusted the instruments and equipment on the stage. Because there was already sound equipment here, instruments such as drums and electronic keyboards were also readily available, and only guitarists and bassists brought their own guitars and basses among the band members who knew the situation in advance, and the drummers and keyboardists sat or stood directly behind the drum kit and electronic keyboards, and the guitarists and keyboardists only plugged in the audio cables of the audio to the guitars and basses that they had already tuned.
When Xiao Yao pulled the groom and bride to stand in front of the curtain, the band members in the back were also ready. Seeing Xiao Yao's figure back and standing aside through the shadow of the curtain, Keith turned around and signaled, and the drummer also knocked down the drumsticks, leading the band members to start playing.
As soon as the music sounded, Xiao Yao, who was standing aside, pulled a pull rope on the curtain bracket, and the three curtains fell at the same time, and the entire band appeared in front of everyone.
"What?!"
"Oh my!"
"Wow! It's a daydream! It's Keith!"
"I'm not dreaming, am I?" accompanied the singer Keith Craig, and the audience resounded with a burst of exclamations.
The band members took off their sunglasses long before they started playing, and as Keith himself said, there was hardly anyone in the room who didn't know them.
The expressions of the groom and bride standing at the front are the most surprising and exaggerated. Both of them stared at the well-known band in front of them with wide eyes, the bride couldn't help but cover her mouth, and the groom smiled and spread his hands with a "What are you kidding?" expression.
“INeedYourLovingLoving,INeedItNow.WhenI'mWithoutYou,I'mSomethingWeak,I'mBeggingBegging,I'mDownOnMyKnees...”
After the initial surprise, many people also noticed the lyrics sung by Keith, which is undoubtedly a love song that is perfect for singing at a wedding scene. The bride and groom were infected by the emotion of the song, turned to each other and hugged each other, and there was an excited long kiss on the spot.
"Come, stand up, and go over there. Shouldn't you jump up at this moment?" Xiao Yao waved in front of the guests at several tables. This song is a cheerful song, which is very suitable for enlivening the atmosphere and for everyone to dance together at will.
"Wow~" Some of the young guests at the scene couldn't sit still, and they stood up one after another, and also poured into the open space in front of the band. However, they also knew who the protagonist was today, so they all consciously stood behind the bride and groom, hugging the bride and groom and leaning forward.
The bride and groom were also not polite, especially the bride in her wedding dress, who swung her arms to the music, stepped on the drums and walked forward very rhythmically and began to dance to the performance of the band.
As soon as the bride took the lead, some of the young guests behind also jumped up, and the joyful atmosphere of the scene was also completely aroused. There was no need for Xiao Yao to greet him again, more and more guests got up excitedly to join in, and the middle-aged man who communicated with Xiao Yao at the beginning did not have the slightest worry and dissatisfaction at this moment, sitting on the seat with a smile on his face and clapping his hands, looking at the group of elated young people in the open space.
"Come on, sir, you're welcome, come along. Xiao Yao turned to the middle-aged man again, stretched out his hand to him, and said, "This is not the privilege of young people. ”
"Thank you, thank you. The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yao with a grateful face now, and said excitedly, "You gave my daughter a very memorable wedding." ”
"You're welcome!" Xiao Yao waved his hand, pulled the middle-aged man up and said, "Now just be happy!"
The middle-aged man was infected by the atmosphere of the scene, so he simply let go, joined the group of young people in the open space, and began to swing his hands and dance his body at will.
"Wow~" Seeing that the father of the bride, who had always been serious, jumped up, several young people automatically got out of the way, pulled the middle-aged man to the front, and stood with the bride and groom.
At the end of the song, Keith put his hand holding the microphone behind his back, smiled and bowed deeply to the crowd in front of him, and the cheers and screams of the audience reached a climax.
"Thank you to everyone in the room!" Keith Craig said, putting the microphone to his lips again, "It's definitely the coolest thing we've ever done." ”
During the performance, the band members were also infected by the atmosphere of the scene, with happy smiles throughout the whole process, and Keith Craig also said four "most" words to everyone in a row in the speech at the end of the performance.
