Since it was decided to create a common brand with Yin Xi, then Yin Xi's studio is equivalent to half a boss in fashion design and production, strictly speaking, recruiting Rick into Yin Xi's studio can be regarded as half of working for himself, so he has more reason to call Rick to recruit Rick to Huaxia. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In contact two years ago, Rick, like all the other members of the Riptide team, saw Xiao Yao as the key person who changed their fate, and together with Xiao Yao to make the LED light suit, his intimacy with Xiao Yao was second only to Zhou Jingyi, Paul, and TJ in the team. So when Xiao Yao called him and offered him a job in Huaxia, which not only had a good salary, but also had a lot of opportunities to see beautiful women, Rick also agreed very happily, packed up his things and set off for Huaxia.

After giving the patent for the lighting suit and finding Rick, Xiao Yao and Yin Xi jointly established a fashion brand. In terms of specific clothing style design, Yin Xi has professional clothing designers, and in terms of the installation of lighting systems, there are experienced technicians from the United States, such as Rick, so Xiao Yao once again started to be a shopkeeper, except for occasionally being called by Yin Xi to evaluate and review the finished products made by the designers, he usually does not need to be the same as Yin Xi, and often soak in the design room of the studio with the designers.

When Xiao Yao completed the MV post-production special effects, he also brought out the long-term project of animated films, but this project, which is still in the stage of preliminary trial production of model clips, does not need Xiao Yao to stare at it all the time. These two temporary cooperation things did not involve too much energy of Xiao Yao, and he refocused on his own affairs.

When filming the MV, Xu Yuan appeared once with a handcasse. Although there is an appearance in the picture, there is no sound of the hand disc in that song, so Xiao Yao also plans to shoot two more videos of the hand disc playing.

Xiao Yao's specially shot hand-disc performance video is for propaganda purposes, not only to pursue sound effects, but also to use the post-production soundtrack, so there are requirements for the performance environment, at the very least, there can be no interference from others. The effect of video recording indoors, especially in the practice room or recording room, is naturally the best, but Xiao Yao feels that the video recorded in this environment looks ungrounded and a little boring, so he still plans to do it outdoors.

The scene should be outdoors, normal, life-like, not boring, and without the interference of strangers, there are not many such places. After some consideration, Xiao Yao decided to shoot a video of the hand-disc performance in the middle of the night in the unmanned underground walkway and in the silent and uninhabited woods in the suburbs. One is late at night in the city, and the other is daytime in the wilderness, both of which are undisturbed environments, but they seem to be much more interesting than in the practice room and recording studio.

The performance video is Xiao Yao's solo performance, you can directly fix the camera with a tripod, just point the camera at yourself who is playing, and you can complete the video shooting alone, so when Xiao Yao was shooting these two videos, he also took the car from Pei Minyi, and took the camera to those two places to record the video by himself, without bothering others to help.

After uploading the music video of "SingMeToSleep" and the two hand-disc performance videos on the Internet, Xiao Yao thought that the next important thing would be the first final exam in college at the end of January. Then, I returned to Yanjing during the winter vacation, re-practiced and familiarized myself with Chen Chen and the dancers of the "Dawn" Dance Troupe, and participated in the rehearsals and official performances of the Spring Festival Gala. But in mid-January, Xiao Yao received another invitation from the United States.

Keith Craig, the lead singer of the band "Daydream", personally called Xiao Yao and invited him to go to the United States to attend the "People's Choice Awards" ceremony in the United States with their band.

The People's Choice Awards are one of Hollywood's longest-running annual awards events. It has three categories: film, television and music, and all nominations and awards are voted for by the audience through the Internet, regardless of industry insiders, journalists and critics. The organizer of this award is one of the most authoritative polling agencies in the United States, so it is not a professional award, but aims to recognize the most popular artists and works in the poll, which not only represents the trend indicators of the United States, but also a direct reflection of the popularity of artists and works in the United States.

"Daydream" debuted for more than ten years, and has been popular for almost ten years, and was also nominated and awarded at the award six or seven years ago. It was the time when they were at their most elevating in the American music scene, and it was no surprise that they won this award. But this year, their veteran band in the American music scene, which has been popular for almost ten years, has re-entered this award that represents the popularity of the year, which is somewhat unexpected. To be honest, even the members of the band "Daydream" themselves did not think of it.

At this year's "People's Choice Awards", the band "Daydream" received two nominations, one for the most popular rock band and the other for the most popular song of the year. When you see the name of the song they were nominated for the most popular song, everyone can understand why they can be re-nominated after six or seven years.

The song they were nominated for the most popular song was the song "Sugar" that Xiao Yao helped them write and gave them the idea to shoot the MV. The fact that a rock band of theirs came out with such a love song is surprising enough in itself, and what is even more unexpected is the MV of their song, a top band suddenly appearing and singing at the wedding of some ordinary people, such a plot is undoubtedly very creative. Of course, the most unexpected thing is that after the MV was broadcast, the newlyweds and guests at the wedding scene in the MV screen declared on their social accounts that they were not actors, and the things in the MV actually happened.

With such a heart-warming and loving approach, the American people naturally have a good impression of "Daydream", not only when "Daydream" officially released the song at once, they suddenly put their song on the throne of the Billboard champion single, but also voted for the "Daydream" band and this song in the "People's Choice Award" online voting.

This song was created by Xiao Yao, and the shooting idea of the MV was also Xiao Yao, and he also participated in the filming. The "Daydream" band entered the nomination team for the "People's Choice Award" because of this song, so they naturally wanted to invite Xiao Yao, a key figure, to attend with them.

The People's Choice Awards are generally held in January every year, but this year it will be held on January 20. From the point of view of time, Xiao Yao can go, and after participating in the "People's Choice Award" award ceremony, he can still catch up with the school's final exams, with his academic performance and consistent performance, it is not impossible to ask the school for four or five days or even a week off, but do you really want to spend about a week for this opportunity to show your face in front of the American media?

"Keith, I'm a student, and I'm in school. Xiao Yao said to Keith on the phone.

"I know," Keith Craig said on the phone, "but I also know that you're a college student now." I don't know what a university in Huaxia is like, but in the United States, it shouldn't be difficult for college students to take a week off. I think you should be similar in Huaxia, but I heard that your academic performance is very good. ”

"But you are the one who got the nomination, and it has nothing to do with me. Xiao Yao said again, "I mean, although I am a songwriter, it is not me who came on stage to accept the award." ”

"Jan, listen to me. Keith Craig interrupted Xiao Yao, "This is not for you to sit in the audience and watch us receive the award. The "People's Choice Award" is not a professional award in the music category, but covers three aspects: film, television and music, and almost the popular stars of the entire American entertainment industry will appear. I know that your talent is not only in music and photography, but you are also an actor in Huaxia, so I asked you to come here to take this opportunity to introduce you to the entire American entertainment industry. ”

"Introduce me to the entire American entertainment industry?" Xiao Yao said puzzled.

"Of course, it's to help you come to the United States to develop, don't all your Chinese stars want to come to Hollywood?" Keith Craig said, "Like Mike Chow, Pete Wang, they are all top stars in your China, but they also worked hard to gain a foothold in Hollywood." Your conditions are much better than theirs, first of all, your English is better than any Chinese I know. Secondly, the youngest photographer of the Eva show, a former member of the band "Immortals", helped us create "sugar", all of these things were turned out by the American media when your spoof video made the stock price of American Airlines fall and the head of American Airlines apologized in public. ”

"Understood," Xiao Yao smiled, "Are you trying to help me break into Hollywood?"

"yes," Keith Craig said, "not to mention your personal friendship with Betty, me, and Immortals, and you helped us write that "sugar" and shoot that music video, which made us nominated for the "People's Choice Award" again, and in return, we also want you to be able to gain a foothold in the United States and Hollywood, and have a good development." ”

"No wonder you introduced me in such detail in the American media, and praised me so hard, so that's the case," Xiao Yao said, "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome," said Keith Craig, "you're friends with our husband and wife. We are also happy to have a friend who has developed well in the United States, and of course, it may also be a help to our own business, like the "Sugar" you helped us write this time, which has benefited us a lot. That's the way the world is, isn't it? By the way, we've earned you a place to walk the red carpet with us. When you appear on the red carpet with us, the whole of America will know you. ”

"Walking the red carpet?" Xiao Yao has not walked any form of red carpet yet. Although the first time he walked the red carpet was at the "People's Choice Awards" in the United States, it seemed to be a good choice, but Xiao Yao felt that if he really went, this red carpet seemed to be rubbed in.

"Keith, I'm so sorry," Xiao Yao said, "I decided not to go to the People's Choice Awards." ”

"Why?" asked Keith Craig, curiously.

"It's true that there are a lot of Chinese stars who want to enter Hollywood, but I don't want to, at least not yet. Xiao Yao smiled, "I am still studying in Huaxia University, and I still have studies to complete." I don't want to or can get involved in the American film and television industry for the time being. I can take a week off work to come to the U.S. for an awards show, but I can't take a month off work in the U.S. or more, and I certainly can't participate in a movie or a series if I can't stay in the U.S. for an extended period of time. As for music, I reached an agreement with Time Records in the United States some time ago to release two of my songs in Europe and the United States. I want my music to be heard by the American people, and I don't have to be in the United States. ”

"Well, even if you don't plan to come to Hollywood for a while, you can still come and play. Keith Craig said, "After the award ceremony, we also prepared a series of celebratory receptions and parties. ”

"Thank you for your kindness," Xiao Yao said, "but I'm not yet twenty-one years old, and I can't even drink alcohol in the United States... Well, I drank it at your house, but I still can't drink it publicly, and reporters must be indispensable to those celebration drinks and parties, right? Our school has a very important exam at the end of this month, and I will have a performance next month that the people of China are very concerned about, so I should concentrate on doing my job in China first. ”

"If that's the case, then I don't have much more to say. Keith Craig said regretfully, "It's a shame. ”

"There's no pity," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I think I'll go to Hollywood, just not now." So I believe that this kind of opportunity will still come in the future. ”

"Well," Keith Craig said, "I'm always ready to welcome you to America." ”

"Also, congratulations in advance on your band's award. Xiao Yao said, "I know you will definitely be able to get it." ”

"Thank you!" Keith Craig laughed.

Ending the call with Keith Craig, Xiao Yao secretly said in his heart: "Even if my buddy wants to go to the United States to develop, he doesn't use this way." Although you Keith Craig has good intentions, but go to the "People's Choice Awards" to be an audience? rub the red carpet? Even if you want to go to the awards ceremony in the United States, you have to be nominated and walk on the red carpet justifiably. ”
