In less than half an hour, Xiao Yao wrote the lyrics and music of the entire song. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Because Xiao Yao wrote while playing the guitar, Xiao Yao, who kept recalling the original song in his previous life, was constantly revising the tune and lyrics, so Keith Craig and Betty Bellett, who watched the whole birth process of the song, thought that Xiao Yao's song was written now. Half an hour into a song, Keith Craig and Betty Bellette both opened their mouths in surprise and looked incredulous. Only Sun Tingting next to her had a calm expression, and she was already surprised when she saw Xiao Yao write songs.

Keith Craig and Betty Craig, who heard the melody and lyrics of the song intermittently during Xiao Yao's songwriting, already thought the song was very good, and when Xiao Yao finished writing it all, and held the guitar, imitating Keith Craig's voice and singing the song completely, Keith Craig had completely liked the song, and immediately decided to buy the song and put it into his band's new album.

Things that have been discussed before, it is naturally not a problem to buy the copyright of the song. With the relationship between Xiao Yao and Craig, as long as Xiao Yao verbally agrees, it is not too late to complete the formalities such as the contract, and now Keith Craig's priority is to gather the band members for rehearsals and prepare for tomorrow's wedding performance.

"Great! This must be a surprise for Ollie. Keith Craig kissed his wife happily and excitedly said, "I need to gather my band brothers for an afternoon rehearsal." ”

"Young, we're rehearsing in our studio in downtown Los Angeles in the afternoon, would you like to come along?" After calling the band members one by one, Keith Craig turned his head and asked Xiao Yao again.

Xiao Yao first glanced at Sun Tingting, saw her smiling and nodded, and then turned his head to answer Keith Craig, "Okay, in fact, I also have mature ideas about the arrangement of this song." ”

"You've even thought about the arrangement?" Keith Craig was surprised again, and then thought that the lyrics and arrangement of "Immortals" and "IMMORTALS" were all done by Xiao Yao, and this song was also written by Xiao Yao, and it didn't seem too surprising that he thought about the arrangement.

"Okay, so you've saved us a lot of time. Keith Craig laughs.

"I have a question for you," Xiao Yao looked at Keith Craig again, "Tomorrow's wedding, are you a guest at the wedding, or just a guest performer?"

"Just a guest performer," says Keith Craig, "the groom is a friend of my friend, but I don't know the groom. Actually, neither the bride nor the groom knew that our band would be at their wedding tomorrow, and my friend didn't tell him, wanting to surprise him when the time came. ”

"That means that tomorrow your friend's friend's wedding, you will be there halfway, you don't need to arrive in advance to prepare, as long as the performance is over, you can leave?" Xiao Yao confirmed.

"Theoretically, yes. Keith Craig nodded, glanced at Sun Tingting next to him, and then asked, "Do you want to see an American wedding? Join your girlfriend on the guest list, and you can join him as his companion to see what a traditional American wedding looks like. ”

"No, I'm not curious about traditional American weddings. Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled, "Do you have any plans to shoot a MV for this song? I have an idea about the MV of this song." ”

"MV?" Keith Craig wondered, "Have you done it before?" As far as he knows, at least "Immortals" didn't shoot the MV for "IMMORTALS", and the only official MV for that song was made directly from the animated film clip of "Junior Vigilantes".

"I've photographed it. Xiao Yao nodded and said, "In the year I returned to Huaxia, I released a music album and made a lot of MVs for songs. Actually, I didn't just act, I also wrote and directed the music video for my own songs. ”

"The writer and director of the MV?" said Betty Belette in surprise this time, "Do you want to develop in the film and television industry?"

"Actually, I have always been in the film and television industry in China. Xiao Yao smiled, "I remember Yin Xi told you back then that I had already been a drama actor when I was eight years old. When I was 14 years old, I also made TV dramas, and when I made the music video last year, I had the idea of becoming a screenwriter and director, and I had already tried it. First of all, the MV, during the summer vacation, I had already completed a ten-minute short film, and I am currently in post-production. ”

"Wow~ Every time we meet, you surprise me. Betty Bellet sighed, "No wonder Yin and Qin said you were "YaoNie" back then. ”

"Unbelievable," Keith Craig also gave a thumbs up, "So, you want to help our band make the music video for this song?

"No offense intended. Keith Craig continued, "I can make the decision by myself when it comes to buying songs, but if I want to shoot a music video, it's not just about the music, it's also about shooting, and it's not up to me to do it alone." We have a dedicated team to evaluate and select people. ”

"Didn't care. Xiao Yao waved his hand and said, "If you want to watch my MV, it's available on the Internet." There is a music video for a song called "Faded" on the PV website. I shot two versions, one electronic and one strings. I wrote, directed, and acted by myself, and the hood of the sweatshirt in it was me. ”

"But I'm not going to be a director to help you shoot the MV now," Xiao Yao continued, "I have a few days to start school, and I want to go back to Huaxia to go to college, and I may not have time to do so." I just wanted to give you an idea. ”

"What do you think? Tell me about it. Keith Craig and Betty Bellaite asked with interest.

"It's like a documentary, filmed in a documentary way. Xiao Yao said.

"Documentary?" Keith Craig and Betty Bellaite were puzzled.

"It's to use video clips of real things to make the video material for the MV," Xiao Yao began to explain, "I have a song called "Song for No One", and the MV of that song, I used the video editing of real events collected on the Huaxia Internet to make the video material, and then accompanied it with the music of that song, and this became the MV of a song. Of course, this MV can't be seen on the PV website, I uploaded it to our Huaxia video site. ”

"You mean we were going to collect videos of real events on the Internet to make footage for the music video for this song?" asked Keith Craig.

"No, I've already done it once, and it's not so interesting to do it again. Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "This time, we don't collect videos on the Internet, but record real event videos by ourselves as video materials, and then accompany this song to make MV." ”

"Record it yourself?" said Keith Craig, "what exactly do you want to do, tell me in detail." ”

"Aren't you going to perform at the wedding tomorrow?" Xiao Yao said, "How are your friends going to let you appear?

"yes," Keith Craig nodded, "Didn't you say the music video footage?

"I don't think it's fun enough or surprising enough. Xiao Yao said, "We can gather a group of people, suddenly rush in in the middle of the wedding, without any introduction, pull up a curtain on the spot, and then you quietly get behind the curtain to prepare." Then invite the bride and groom to the curtain, and suddenly pull down the curtain and you start singing, which is much more surprising than the effect of your friend's introduction. ”

"It seems really better. Keith Craig touched his chin and thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "I can talk to my friend in advance, and ask him to contact the wedding planning company to modify the plan and pull a curtain on the spot." ”

"No, don't look for a wedding planner," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "We will bring someone to do the curtain pulling thing." It's best if your friends don't even know. In terms of technology, you often hold concerts, so you should also have props in this area to build on the spot, right? If the time is too tight and you can't find it today, I will too. It's not hard for you to find a few skilled workers this afternoon, and I can guide them through it. ”

"Why?" said Keith Craig, puzzled, "The wedding scene itself needs to be decorated, and the planning company has special talents, wouldn't it be more convenient to make them decorate?"

"Because we're not just going to that wedding tomorrow. Xiao Yao smiled, "Didn't you leave after the show?" so your friend's friend's wedding was just the first one. We don't say hello, raid the wedding scene, rush in and pull the curtain, and then you sneak in, pull the curtain, sing, send blessings to the couple, and then leave. I need you to find someone to find out how many places in downtown Los Angeles are holding weddings tomorrow, and for how long, let's go one by one, and how many can we go to. The most important thing is that we bring our own photographers to shoot all the actions of tomorrow. Our itinerary for tomorrow is the video material of this MV. Of course, we can also include some sounds from the wedding scene, and in addition to the music of this song in post-production, we can also appropriately intersperse some of these live sounds, which will look more feeling. ”

This idea also came from the music video of this song in my previous life. It's just that the MV of this song was filmed in his previous life, and now, Xiao Yao plans to let Keith Craig play it for real.

"I like the idea!" Betty Berlet said in agreement.

"Raid the wedding scene and send blessings to the couples. I love this crazy idea, too!" agrees Keith Craig.

"Photographer, technical workers, I will arrange, guarantee that you will be contacted in half a day, and you just need to practice singing in the afternoon. Betty Berette volunteered to share the task, "But I may need Jan to come with me, how to make the curtain, what equipment is needed, and I need Jan to get ideas." ”

"I can tell Keith my ideas about the arrangement right now," Xiao Yao said, "and it's no problem to go and help you prepare in the afternoon." ”

"And what about tomorrow? will you join us?" asked Keith Craig.

"Tomorrow is the key, such a fun thing, and it was his idea, how could he miss it?" Sun Tingting interjected with a smile, "It's not just him, I want to go with you tomorrow." ”

"Of course there is no problem. Keith Craig said happily.

"One more point," Xiao Yao put up another finger and said with some worry, "If we just rush into someone's wedding scene like this, will we be stopped by security guards or the like?"

"You can rest assured about this. Keith Craig smiled confidently, "No, let's identify ourselves." In the United States, there are really not many people who don't know "daydreaming", and at most the effect of surprise is a little worse. ”

"Also, when it comes to fighting, don't we still have you?" Betty Bellette laughed, "I heard the students call you 'Kung Fu Yang' at Westbridge Middle School last year, and I heard that even the basketball captain in the school is not your opponent. ”

"Do you want me to do even the work of a bodyguard?" Xiao Yao smiled helplessly, "Even if I can fight again, I can't protect so many people." ”
