Xiao Yao's music video definitely needs actors. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he wants to show what happened, it is definitely not like he filmed the electronic music version of "faded", which can be completed by his own one-man show. The original video in the previous life was made by the Canadian musician with the help of a bunch of friends, although the plot of Xiao Yao's video is not exactly the same, but there will be at least two porters, three flight attendants, and a pair of mother and daughter roles, that is, seven actors are needed.

Xiao Yao doesn't have high requirements for his video, as long as it is interesting, there is no need for many professional actors. Keith Craig and Betty Bellette, a couple who are singers, have made music videos, the other is models, and have made cameos in movies, with their acting experience, this video is more than enough to play him. In terms of external image, Keith Craig can play a cameo role as a porter, and Betty Bellet can also play the role of a flight attendant or a mother. The two wanted to participate, but Xiao Yao couldn't ask for it.

"Of course I need actors. Xiao Yao said to the two couples, "In addition to myself, I also need seven actors in this video, but the requirements for acting skills are not high, if it is in China, or even in New York, I can solve it by asking a friend to make a cameo to help." But here, I was only going to ask my girlfriend to help out, and I was going to invite six more actors. Since you're willing to participate in the show, I just need to find four more. ”

Needless to say in Huaxia, if in New York, Xiao Yao can let Paul and TJ come to play the porter, and ask Morton's mother and daughter to help play him, he will not be refused, Zhou Jingyi, Sarmine and Sun Tingting play flight attendants, just enough to make up a free performance lineup.

"Since there are no requirements for acting skills, then those actors in your video can simply find our friends to act. I think there will be a lot of friends willing to participate in such a fun thing. I wonder what kind of characters are in this video?" asked Keith Craig with interest.

"A mother and daughter, two bellmen, three flight attendants. Xiao Yao briefly introduced the plot of the video to the two and said, "My girlfriend can play one of the flight attendants, Keith you can play the porter, Betty you can play the flight attendant, and you can also play the mother of the mother and daughter." So I also need a porter, a little girl, two flight attendants or a flight attendant and a mother. ”

"The other porter can find Vincent to play," Keith Craig immediately suggested to Xiao Yao, "It's all a band, he is free when I am free, and he will definitely not refuse this kind of thing." ”

"Yes, no problem. Xiao Yao nodded. Keith Craig said that Vinson is Vincent Valle, the bassist of the band "Daydream", who is relatively strong and looks quite suitable for a porter.

The other two adult female characters could be played by Oriana Wilson and Lily Gibson. Betty Bellette also has a candidate to recommend, "The two of them are also in Los Angeles, and they asked me to go out for dinner the day before yesterday, and they said that they have been on vacation recently and will stay in Los Angeles for about a week, and there should be no problem with the time." ”

"Ah, the two of them are also in Los Angeles, isn't this lineup too luxurious?" Xiao Yao said with some surprise.

Oriana Wilson and Lily Gibson are both models who have participated in the Eva show, and Xiao Yao also knows them, but they are not as familiar as Betty Bellett. Although the two of them are not Eva's signing angels, they are also world-class well-known models. A fun free video featuring three world-renowned models and two members of a world-renowned rock band, the cast is indeed a little scary.

"Isn't luxury bad?" laughed Betty Bellette, "and they don't know you anyway, are you worried that they will ask you for payment?"

"Yes. Xiao Yao thought about it, and couldn't help nodding, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart: "American Airlines, you're finished!" After the video in his previous life was uploaded to the Internet, he could force the airline to bow his head and admit his mistake by relying on four million hits in ten days, and now he has such a great cast in his hands, not to mention four million hits in ten days, forty million is not impossible, see how many days you can last?"

"Looking at it this way, it seems that all the actors also know Yang, and we don't need to come forward, we can gather the cast by raising our own face, and we seem to have played the role of a liaison. Keith Craig laughed suddenly.

"Wait a minute, there's still a little girl's role left. Sun Tingting reminded, and then suggested, "Do you want to go to Calabasas and find Erin to help?" Although she didn't stay at Smith's house for a long time, Sun Tingting still had a good impression of that lively little girl.

"Erin is thirteen years old, a little older. Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "And it's a bit too troublesome to take it from Calabasas and send it back when it's over." Xiao Yao wanted to use that video to restore what happened at that time, so he didn't want to find a girl who was much older than Katie.

"Mom!" shouted a little girl in pajamas walking down the stairs barefoot, rubbing her eyes.

"Oh, how did I forget our baby. Betty Berlet patted her forehead and said, "What are you going to do in Calabasas? Isn't Ellie a good fit? We can play mother and daughter." ”

With that, Betty Bellette beckoned to her daughter Alicia Craig, who had come downstairs, and said, "Elle, come here." Tell your mom that you want to act with your mom, and how about we make a music video together?"

"Acting, good!" said the little girl.

"Ellie is indeed a better fit than Erin. Xiao Yao also agreed, "Your whole family has been dispatched, thank you so much for your support." Alicia Craig is not yet nine years old, and the role of Katie is indeed much more suitable than that of thirteen-year-old Erin.

Keith Craig and Betty Berlet called Vinson Valle, Oriana Wilson and Lily Gibson respectively. Hearing that it was Jan Shaw who was going to shoot the video, Craig's family or the whole family went out, and all of them gave an affirmative answer unexpectedly.

Once the cast is finalized, all that's left is to assemble the crew, prepare costumes and props, and choose the location. In fact, in terms of the so-called shooting team, Xiao Yao mainly needs a photographer. Xiao Yao and Keith Craig both decided to find the two photographers who helped them shoot the surprise wedding scene yesterday. This video doesn't need live recording, so there is no need for a recording engineer at all, Xiao Yao will design and arrange the scene, live lighting, props, costumes, and makeup, so he will simply pick it up by himself. In Los Angeles and Hollywood, there are many shops and filming locations that provide costumes and props, and Xiao Yao is enough to prepare all the places under the leadership of Keith Craig, a local.

As for the script, it had already been stored in Xiao Yao's mind for a long time. So after half a day of preparation, Xiao Yao started the shooting of the video smoothly the next day.

Since all of them were Xiao Yao's acquaintances, there was no obstacle to Xiao Yao's command and coordination.

The shooting went smoothly, and in a day and a half, Xiao Yao successfully completed all the impact materials needed, and the rest was to carry out post-production by himself. After thanking his friends, especially the Craig family, for their support, Xiao Yao returned the car he had rented near the airport on the afternoon of the third day as planned, and boarded the plane back to New York with Sun Tingting.

After getting out of the airport in New York, Xiao Yao took a taxi to take Sun Tingting back to the Chambers Conservatory.

"When this happened, did you really decide to stay here? Actually, there are no good conservatories in China, and they are much safer than here. Standing at the door of Chambers, Xiao Yao asked Sun Tingting again.

In fact, after Sun Tingting came out of the police station, Xiao Yao, who was a little afraid, suggested to Sun Tingting that she quit Chambers College of Music and simply return to China. But Sun Tingting disagreed at that time, and Xiao Yao did not insist. Now thinking that he will return to China tomorrow, Xiao Yao, who is worried again, mentioned this matter to Sun Tingting again.

"I said I didn't want to give up halfway. Sun Tingting shook her head firmly and said, "If I didn't come back then, forget it, since I came, I will definitely finish my studies here." I don't want to drop out of Chambers on my resume. ”

Looking at Xiao Yao's worried eyes, Sun Tingting felt a sense of emotion in her heart, and then comforted Xiao Yao: "Actually, American schools are not as scary as you think, especially Chambers is still a professional music school. After all, there are only a very small number of students in schools who use drugs, and people like Wyatt are the exception, so you don't have to worry so much. I've been here for almost half a year, and except for you not around, I'm actually doing a good job in other aspects, whether it's studying or living. ”

"Okay," Seeing that Sun Tingting was so determined, Xiao Yao could only nod helplessly, "There is still a year and a half to go, and I am waiting for you to graduate." ”

"Rest early! You have to go to class tomorrow, so you won't have to see me off at the airport. Xiao Yao said goodbye after sending Sun Tingting to the dormitory, "If I have time in the future, I will come to the United States to see you." ”

"Then the next time you come back, be sure to let me know in advance. Sun Tingting demanded, "I'll pick you up at the airport." ”

Xiao Yao inexplicably remembered that if he hadn't suddenly appeared to surprise Sun Tingting with something he wanted to play this time, Sun Tingting would have a perfect alibi when she went to the airport to pick her up, and she would not have been detained as the main suspect or even prosecuted, so he immediately nodded and promised: "I promise, I will never play this kind of surprise attack again." Be sure to tell you in advance before you come. ”

"Well," Sun Tingting hugged Xiao Yao with some attachment, "Pay attention to safety on the way back." Don't forget to contact me often when you return home. ”

After coming out of the Chambers Conservatory, Xiao Yao did not stay in a nearby hotel. In order to facilitate the morning flight early tomorrow morning, Xiao Yao stayed in a hotel near the airport at night.

Lying on the bed in the hotel, Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and sent text messages to TJ, Paul, Zhou Jingyi and Samin, informing them that he had returned to New York and would return to Huaxia tomorrow. In any case, when I return to China, these friends also need to be notified.

Xiao Yao didn't let Sun Tingting come to the airport to see him off, and he didn't want anyone else to send him. Therefore, Xiao Yao's text messages to several people only informed them of the news that he was going back to China, and did not tell them his specific flight number. But there are only a few international flights from New York Airport to Yanjing a day, so when Xiao Yao came to the airport hall with his luggage the next day, Paul and others, who had already arrived at the airport, were already waiting for him at the airport.

From Sun Tingting's mouth, Xiao Yao knew that Paul and TJ had taken care of Sun Tingting in the past six months, and they were also very grateful to the two of them. In order to accompany Sun Tingting, he didn't have much time to get together with the two, so he could only hug them hard, promising to thank them again next time he came to the United States or when they had the opportunity to go to China.

When facing the two girls, Zhou Jingyi and Samin, Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed and unnatural. just politely hugged them as a farewell, and didn't say much.

The two girls were more generous than Xiao Yao. Zhou Jingyi unceremoniously complained that he quietly went to Los Angeles with Sun Tingting, and then bluntly said that he would miss him, and even go to Huaxia to find him if he had the opportunity. Although Samion was not as straightforward as Zhou Jingyi, he just said that the journey was smooth, but the tone in his eyes... Xiao Yao wanted to turn around and ran away.

After saying goodbye to a few friends, Xiao Yao, who was sitting on the plane, thought that the two girls looked at him and the more he thought about it, the more his head became bigger, so he simply asked the flight attendant for a few glasses of vodka after the plane took off, and fell asleep after drinking. When he came, he didn't know where he would accompany Sun Tingting in the United States and how much it would cost, so Xiao Yao was very frugal and bought an economy class that needed to be transferred. Now that he has finished accompanying Sun Tingting, Xiao Yao feels that the speed of making money after returning to China is definitely much faster than spending money, so he bought a first-class ticket for a direct flight, which can also allow him to sleep comfortably after drinking.

After returning to Yanjing, Xiao Yao, who had not yet bought a car, still asked Fang to pick up the airport and let her send her home.

Xiao Yao, who slept a lot on the plane, was in good spirits after arriving home, and with the problem of jet lag, he didn't want to rest, so he simply decided to continue working. Now that there are still three or four days to leave school, Xiao Yao wants to try to complete the post-production of a music video and a short film before the start of school.

Music videos are less demanding and relatively simple, but the problem is that there is no official song audio yet. So the first thing Xiao Yao did after returning home and putting down his luggage was to go into the recording studio in the basement of his home, record the official studio version of the song "American Airlines Broke My Guitar", and then take it to make the soundtrack for the video.
