Chapter 123 - The Making of the Violin

After returning to school after military training, September is coming to an end, followed by the arrival of the National Day holiday in October. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

There was only one day between returning to school and the National Day holiday. On this day, the first-year students did not have classes because they had not yet taken the courses. The school is arranging this day for freshmen to choose courses. After choosing a class, there will be a holiday, and when the National Day holiday is over, the classes in the school will officially begin. After a month of military training, freshmen can take advantage of the week's long vacation to rest and recover, and meet the university courses with a better physical and mental state.

The selection of courses in the school is not complicated, there are no necessary courses, Xiao Yao has already planned for elective courses, and he does not pick teachers, so he quickly completed his course selection task. Theoretically speaking, freshmen can start their vacations after choosing classes, so Xiao Yao also took the initiative to contact Fang Yi and asked if there were any things that needed to be known to him during the month.

In the month that Xiao Yao went to military training, there were really a lot of things happening, but the place where they happened was not in China, but in the United States.

The main thing, of course, is his spoof video of "American Airlines Broke My Guitar". When Fang still heard that American Airlines had publicly apologized and promised to compensate him for his guitar, Xiao Yao, who had already prepared for this, was not very excited, after all, this matter was done on purpose, and this is what he wanted. But when Xiao Yao heard that a large number of Chinese passengers had boycotted American Airlines because of this video, and the stock price of American Airlines had fallen for three consecutive weeks, Xiao Yao was still a little surprised. The power of this video is much more powerful than that of a Canadian musician in the previous life.

Compared with the video in the previous life, in addition to the joining of big-name stars such as Keith, Keith and Betty's promotion of Xiao Yao in an interview also played a big role in it. The author of the song "IMMORTALS", a talented photographer who participated in the Eva show when he was ten years old, even if Xiao Yao is not an American, quickly became popular in the United States. Immediately afterwards, the American media successively exposed some of Xiao Yao's achievements in China, which made his genius image even more amazing in the United States.

Then, the documentary-style music video for "Sugar" by the band "Daydream" was officially released. As soon as the music video was released, this particular style caught the attention of American fans. Because watching the whole MV makes everyone feel that it is very real. Even if they weren't fans of "Daydream", after the surprise of the "Daydream" raid at the wedding scene that day, the six couples and many relatives and friends present also became die-hard fans of "Daydream". As soon as the MV was released, they each posted text and pictures on their social accounts to prove the authenticity of the MV shooting content. Especially the dancer couple at the end, the two themselves have a lot of fans.

Instead of looking for actors to perform scenes, they really raided the scenes of real weddings? A rock band, not to mention such a sweet and heartwarming song, also did such a loving and heartwarming thing. American fans' admiration for "daydreaming" has reached a peak all of a sudden, and the number of fans has skyrocketed. While fans praised the heartwarming approach of "Daydreaming" online, the media once again approached Keith to interview the story behind the MV.

Just like many fans are surprised, a rock band released such a heart-warming song, did such a heart-warming thing, and recorded him so creatively to make a MV, which is not in line with the previous style of "Daydream" at all.

In an interview with this MV, Keith Craig also told the media about the origin of this MV. Including being invited by a friend to perform at a friend's friend's wedding, and Xiao Yao, who was a guest at home, helped write a song, and then Xiao Yao not only wrote such a song for them, but also designed the whole thing of that day and the shooting of the MV. And Keith Craig also pointed out by the way that the young man in charge of communicating with the wedding director in the MV is Xiao Yao. The itinerary and specific operation process of that day were all directed by him, and he can be regarded as the executive director of their documentary MV shooting.

At this moment, the public knew that not only the song "Sugar" was written by Xiao Yao for "Daydream", but even the idea of raiding the wedding scene and the idea of making a MV were all from that Chinese young genius. Speaking of which, the six couples who experienced the most memorable wedding of their lives should be most grateful to not Keith Craig and "Daydream", but the genius of China. No wonder Keith Craig's entire family participated in Xiao Yao's video shooting of the spoof of American Airlines, and even their daughter, who usually covers the media and the public very strictly, also participated in the performance in Xiao Yao's spoof video and contributed her debut in front of the camera.

As these back stories were exposed in the media, Xiao Yao, who had just begun to cool down with the spoof American Airlines video, became popular again because of the popularity of "Daydream" and the MV of "Sugar".

After the video of the spoof of American Airlines became popular, there were American media who came to China and wanted to interview Xiao Yao, but Xiao Yao was in military training and could not be interviewed, so those American reporters had no choice but to go back. After "Sugar" became popular, Xiao Yao also became well-known in the United States again, and the two things were combined, and more American media wanted to interview him. But those American reporters who came once knew that Xiao Yao's military training would last for a month, and they would not be able to accept interviews before that, and they also learned from their Chinese counterparts that Xiao Yao did not like to be interviewed by the media, so they did not rush to send people over this time, but still sent an interview invitation to Xiao Yao's agent, and if Xiao Yao accepted, it would not be too late for them to send someone over.

In addition to those media who chase hot news, there are also companies that want to make news who want to find Xiao Yao. This business is certainly not American Airlines. Xiao Yao said that his guitar was damaged by their porter, and he wrote a song and made that video before posting it on the Internet after complaining to no avail, and it would be good if he could accept their apology, and he would not stand up to help them say good things in the future. So they were hurt by Xiao Yao's video, and they couldn't wait to get as far away from Xiao Yao as possible.

Other airlines openly said that it was a boo to invite Xiao Yao to take a plane for free, and Xiao Yao would not go on a plane to play in order to cooperate with their publicity, they only needed to pay attention to the passenger list of their Huaxia branch, and it would not be too late to find Xiao Yao when he really needed to take an international flight again.

The one who was really more urgent and sincere to send someone to find Xiao Yao was the manufacturer of Xiao Yao's damaged guitar. In that video, Xiao Yao appeared several times with the broken guitar, and the brand logo on the guitar was not deliberately blocked.

They once publicly stated that they were willing to help Xiao Yao repair the damaged guitar for free. But as the media has successively revealed his identity as the author of "IMMORTALS", the author of "sugar", and the youngest at the time of the most single awards in the Chinese domestic music awards, the brand also believes that the achievements of this Chinese musical genius in music in the future are limitless. So they didn't say anything about maintenance, and simply sent a very experienced guitar maker to Huaxia to make an exclusive guitar for Xiao Yao, so as to help their brand promote it again.

After Xiao Yao listened to Fang Yi's report, he immediately replied. For interviews with the American media, Xiao Yao naturally has little interest. After all, he is a Chinese, not resident in the United States, and has no plans to perform in the United States in the near future, no matter how popular he is in the United States, it is useless, so Xiao Yao simply refused all the interviews of those American media.

Xiao Yao was very interested in the fact that the guitar brand sent a master producer to make an exclusive guitar for him. As a singer who can play live, the guitar is like a weapon in the hands of a warrior for him, and now there is a world-class brand of guitar makers to make his own guitar, Xiao Yao naturally can't ask for it.

It happened to be the National Day holiday, and he was very free, so Xiao Yao immediately replied to Fang Yi, saying that he would go to see the guitar master in person.

Fang is still Xiao Yao's agent and assistant, and he also knows Xiao Yao's personality and preferences very well. When the guitar master came to Huaxia, Fang still went to the airport to pick up the airport in person, and explained to the guitar master named Nicholas Cross that Xiao Yao was in military training and could not leave the barracks, and during this time he has also been carefully arranging the master's travel itinerary in Huaxia, estimating that Xiao Yao's military training is coming to an end, she also accompanied the master to Huaxia, these two days, have arranged for people to accompany the master to travel in Shencheng, Xiao Yao wants to meet the guitar master, it is really convenient.

Hearing Fang Ying's arrangement, Xiao Yao was still happy and praised the other party, and immediately asked Fang still to drive to the school to pick him up, and to wait for him at the guitar master's hotel.

The master guitar maker had a great time in Huaxia during this time. The task arranged by the company is to make a guitar for a so-called Chinese musical genius, including travel expenses, room and board, and unlimited time. After coming to Huaxia, although he didn't see the musical genius, his agent was very respectful and polite to him, and arranged for people to take him to travel around Huaxia every day, so he felt that this work was like coming to Huaxia, a mysterious ancient civilization, to travel at public expense, not to mention how happy he was.

At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, when Cross returned to the hotel where he stayed, said goodbye to the tour guide who accompanied him today, and was about to go back to his room to change his clothes, and then go to the hotel bar for a drink, and end another pleasant day, he saw the agent of the talented musician in the hotel lobby. Looking to the side, he also found that the person sitting next to her was the main owner of his trip to China, the genius musician. Before coming, he had also watched the spoof video and remembered Xiao Yao's appearance. At this time, although Xiao Yao looked a lot darker than on the video, he still recognized it at a glance.

"Hello Mr. Cross, I'm Xiao Yao! You can call me Yang!" Xiao Yao had also seen a picture of the master guitar maker at Fang Yan's place, so when Cross entered the hotel lobby, Xiao Yao, who was staring at the door of the hotel, also spotted him, and immediately got up and walked over to him and stretched out his hand to say hello.

"Hello," Nicholas Cross stretched out his hand to shake Xiao Yao's hand, and said with a smile, "I'm Nicholas Cross, and I'm here to make guitar for you." ”

"You are very welcome to Huaxia," Xiao Yao said, "and thank you very much for coming over to make a guitar for me." ”

"Let's go to my room and talk about making guitars. Cross invited. The lobby is not a place for people to talk and chat.

"Isn't it too late now?, will it disturb your rest?" Xiao Yao said, "Actually, I just came here today to say hello and get to know you." ”

"It's okay, I didn't rest so early. Cross laughed, "We can exchange some ideas today, and the production will start tomorrow." "Cross is still very serious about his work, otherwise he would not have become a world-class guitar maker. In Xiao Yao's absence, he can relax and play everywhere, but since Xiao Yao has appeared, he wants to put himself to work as soon as possible. Besides, he has been playing in Huaxia for a long time, and he is beginning to miss his family in the United States.
