Chapter 767: No intention of participating
After arriving at Temple Street, Xiao Yao was still in high spirits, buying snacks at roadside stalls, bargaining with stall owners and buying some gadgets, and having a lot of fun. After shopping Temple Street, the two still had dinner at the restaurant on Temple Street. After eating, Xiao Yao took Yang Shiyun for a walk on the streets of Yau Ma Tei.
Because Xiao Yao's schedule was very regular when he instructed them in the show last year, and they were strictly forbidden to stay up late, Yang Shiyun just thought that Xiao Yao's living habits were very good, and taking a walk after dinner was just his living habit. In fact, Xiao Yao walked on the street of Yau Ma Tei for two consecutive days, in fact, to see if there were any troubled boys on the street. Of course, such a stupid behavior, Xiao Yao would definitely not tell Yang Shiyun, Yang Shiyun couldn't think of it anyway.
But it's a pity that Xiao Yao didn't get his wish for two days. The uniformed police officers patrolling the road have seen it, but Crazy Boy has not seen any of them.
Temple Street came again because he didn't finish shopping yesterday, and other places such as Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, Central, and Lan Kwai Fong were not interested in going again. So after shopping around Yau Ma Tei, Xiao Yao asked Yang Shiyun to send him back to the hotel.
When leaving, Xiao Yao just told Yang Shiyun that the arrangement and soundtrack of "Wedding Post Street" had been ready, and asked her to go back in the evening to familiarize herself with it again and prepare to record it tomorrow. As for writing another song for Yang Shiyun with two different language versions, Xiao Yao didn't tell her that he planned to surprise her again tomorrow.
The next morning, Xiao Yao, who returned to the room, did not wait for Yang Shiyun to pick him up to YH Company, but waited for an employee from his studio first.
The conditions and requirements that Xiao Yao cares about have been mentioned to Xu Wenxiang, and Xu Wenxiang has also agreed, but there is not much room for negotiation in the contract. But after all, it was a formal contract text, and Xiao Yao couldn't sign it casually without reading it, and he didn't want to spend time reading the terms of the contract one by one, so he asked the company's professionals to help him read it. Yesterday, Xiao Yao called Fang Ying and said that he wanted to sell songs to YH Company, and this was obviously the person Fang still sent to help him negotiate the contract.
After giving a brief explanation to the employees, Xiao Yao saw that Yang Shiyun had not yet come, so he called Xu Wenxiang. After learning that Xu Wenxiang had arrived at the company, Xiao Yao didn't wait for Yang Shiyun to pick her up, and sent her a message to ask her to go directly to the company, so he took the staff of the studio to YH company by himself.
When I arrived at YH company, I explained my intention to the front desk receptionist. Xu Wenxiang, who had received Xiao Yao's call before, quickly came out with a smile to greet him.
After a brief greeting, Xiao Yao introduced the employees around him to Xu Wenxiang, and the next step was to talk about the contract and sign the contract.
Xiao Yao handed over the contract to the staff of the studio, and he did not intend to participate in it. At this time, Yang Shiyun had not yet come, Xu Wenxiang wanted to personally participate in the contract negotiation, Xiao Yao asked Xu Wenxiang to send someone to take him to the recording studio he used yesterday to continue to produce the soundtrack of the second song written yesterday.
When Xiao Yao had just finished the soundtrack for the second song, there was a knock on the door of the recording studio control room, and then it was gently pushed open.
"Senior?" a head poked out of the door, it was Yang Shiyun.
When she saw Xiao Yao stand up from the chair and turn to look at her, Yang Shiyun screamed, pushed open the door and rushed in to give Xiao Yao a big hug. From her excited appearance, Xiao Yao guessed that she should have known from Xu Wenxiang that she had written another song for her. Because after Yang Shiyun rushed in, Xiao Yao saw Xu Wenxiang and the employee in charge of negotiating the contract in his studio also followed.
"Okay, okay!" Xu Wenxiang smiled and pulled Yang Shiyun by the hand, "Let your senior finish the business first!"
"Boss, the contract has been negotiated, do you want to take a look!" After Yang Shiyun embarrassedly let go of Xiao Yao, the staff in Xiao Yao's studio who was in charge of negotiating the contract stepped forward and handed over the two contracts in his hand.
The ordinary employees in the studio are not like Fang Yi, and after agreeing on the content of the contract, Xiao Yao has to confirm and sign.
"No problem!" Xiao Yao took the contract and flipped through it, looked at the few places he cared about, and signed his name on the contract with satisfaction.
"Li Zhi, it's hard to call you to Hong Kong Island on a business trip temporarily!" Xiao Yao handed back the signed contract, "I don't have anything else to do here." If you don't have any other important work in your hands, you don't need to rush back today. It's rare to come to Hong Kong Island once, just play on Hong Kong Island for a day, and go back tomorrow, the accommodation company will reimburse you, just say that it is still said to me!"
"Thank you, boss!" the employee named Li Zhi immediately agreed with a smile. took the signed contract from Xiao Yao, gave one of them to Xu Wenxiang on the side, carefully put the other one into the briefcase and put it away, and then said goodbye and left.
"Senior, Mr. Xu said that you wrote me another song yesterday, and also wrote two versions of the lyrics in Cantonese and English, what is it like, show me quickly!" After seeing the employees of Xiao Yao's studio say goodbye and leave, Yang Shiyun couldn't wait to say to Xiao Yao.
"What's the hurry," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "The soundtracks of the two songs have been prepared, they are all yours, and you can't run." You record "Wedding Card Street" first, "Wedding Invitation Street" is not recorded, I will not show you another song, lest you think too much in your heart and affect the state of the recording. ”
"Finished the soundtrack for the second song so quickly?" Xu Wenxiang raised a contract in his hand and said with a smile, "It seems that you called someone to help you negotiate the contract to save time and do your own things." ”
"If you hire someone, you just want to use it!" Xiao Yao smiled, "Why else open a studio and invite someone!"
"Senior," Yang Shiyun pouted, "Don't you show me, I've been thinking about what another song is like, don't you think too much about it, and it will affect the state of the recording?"
"That's why I didn't tell you last night!" Xiao Yao said.
"No wonder you're hiding it from her!" Xu Wenxiang said with a smile, "When I met Ah Yun just now after negotiating the contract, I couldn't help but tell her, it seems that I was too talkative!"
"It's okay, then it's a test for her. Xiao Yao smiled, "Anyway, before the previous song is recorded, I won't show her what the second song is like." It is time to exercise her ability to resist distractions and train her to concentrate when she has something on her mind. ”
"How is the practice of "Wedding Card Street"?" Xiao Yao turned to Yang Shiyun again, "If you can, I will listen to the soundtrack a few times, so that you can familiarize yourself with the accompaniment, and then we will start recording." ”
"No problem!" Yang Shiyun confidently made an OK gesture.
"Okay," Xiao Yao handed Yang Shiyun a headset and played her a good accompaniment.
Yang Shiyun listened to it once first, and then hummed a few times while listening, then shouted hello and confidently walked into the recording room.
Yesterday afternoon, Xu Wenxiang saw Xiao Yao's ability to arrange music and make soundtracks and write songs on the spot. Now, Xu Wenxiang has seen Xiao Yao's ability to guide singers to record.
Whether it is picking out the details sentence by sentence at the beginning of the audition, or catching faults during the whole singing, Xiao Yao can accurately find out what Yang Shiyun did not do well in the singing process, and give effective guidance for travel. As far as song recording is concerned, Xu Wenxiang feels that Xiao Yao can win the award for best album producer in the mainland at a young age, which is indeed deserved!
Yang Shiyun was recognized by netizens as one of the vocal roles in last year's women's group talent show, and her singing skills are very good, plus she got the lyrics and songs of "Wedding Post Street" yesterday morning, and she has been practicing for most of the day and one night, and the familiarity is also very high, so the whole recording process is relatively smooth.
At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Shiyun's vocal singing part was all recorded. The rest is some post-tone fixing and adjustment work.
In the later stage, it was his own work, and there was nothing to do with Yang Shiyun, so Xiao Yao also gave the tune of another song and the Cantonese version called "Yuan" and the English version called "onderful U" to Yang Shiyun, who couldn't wait for a long time. Since the arrangement and soundtrack of this song have also been done, Xiao Yao also gave Yang Shiyun the accompaniment together, so that she could practice with the accompaniment.
Although everything was given to Yang Shiyun, Xiao Yao had no intention of continuing to record these other two songs today. I plan to give Yang Shiyun half a day and a night, fully practice and familiarize herself, and then record two more songs tomorrow. Anyway, Xiao Yao still has a holiday, and Xiao Yao will help her record it tomorrow, Yang Shiyun and Xu Wenxiang naturally have no opinion on such an arrangement.
Yang Shiyun took the lyrics, music scores and accompaniment to find a practice room to practice singing, and Xiao Yao stayed in the recording studio to continue to do the later stage of "Wedding Card Street". Due to Yang Shiyun's good singing skills, she does not need too much sound repair in the later stage, and the workload in this later stage is not very large. In about half an hour, Xiao Yao finished it all.
"Mr. Xu, the overall feeling is okay, right?" After all the songs were produced, Xiao Yao listened to Xu Wenxiang on the side, and asked the other party's opinion very modestly.
"Very good!" Xu Wenxiang nodded, "I think if I make it myself, it should be about this level!"
"Thank you for the compliment!" Xiao Yao nodded in greeting, then got up and said, "I'll come over tomorrow to record two more songs, and that's all for today, then I'll leave!"
At this time, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, far from the meal, Xiao Yao didn't plan to stay in YH company until the meal was over.
"Wait," Xu Wenxiang stopped Xiao Yao and said, "You're leaving now, are there any other arrangements in the future?"
"There's no arrangement," Xiao Yao shook his head, "Shiyun is practicing songs, I don't plan to disturb her today." I'm going to go out for a walk on my own!"
"Mandy said yesterday that he was going to invite you to dinner. Xu Wenxiang said, "She also specially instructed me today, saying that we are going to record at noon, she is not good to disturb, if you are okay tonight, she will invite you to dinner at night, of course, there will still be me and Ah Yun together." ”
"Ms. Chen is so polite!" Xiao Yao smiled.
"Ms. Chen?" Xu Wenxiang frowned and muttered in his heart, "Xiao Yao called Sister Mandy when he left yesterday, does he have any opinion on Mandy?"
"You're welcome," Xu Wenxiang still said, "You are a guest from afar, and you are our partner, so politely invite you to a meal." Of course, the lunch box working meal at noon definitely doesn't count. If you don't want to go to Mandy's banquet, how about I invite you in the evening? It's just that in terms of communication, I'm not as proficient as Mandy, and the restaurant I find may not be as good as Mandy's!"
"No, no," Xiao Yao said with a smile and waved his hand, "I just don't want to trouble you." ”
"Don't bother," Xu Wenxiang took out his mobile phone and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll inform Mandy to arrange dinner for the evening." ”
"It's only three o'clock now, it's still early for dinner, I can't just sit in your company and wait for dinner, right?" Xiao Yao said, "Why don't you send me the time and place of dinner, and I'll go over by myself then?"
"It's okay!" Xu Wenxiang nodded, "I'll talk to Mandy first, and then I'll send you out!"
Xiao Yao nodded, and sat aside and waited for Xu Wenxiang to call Chen Manli.
"Mandy said she has something she wants to talk to you about, please wait a minute, she'll come right over. After Xu Wenxiang hung up the phone, he said to Xiao Yao.
Xiao Yao nodded noncommittally and sat aside to wait.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the studio door. Xu Wenxiang called for invitation, and Chen Manli walked in with a smile on her face.
Chen Manli first exchanged a few words with Xiao Yao and asked them about the recording. After learning that Xiao Yao had recorded "Wedding Card Street", Xu Wenxiang also praised and expressed his satisfaction, Chen Manli also praised Xiao Yao twice, and then talked to Xiao Yao about business.
"Xiao Yao, I heard that you are preparing a new film project recently, and this time you came to Hong Kong Island for the new movie. I'm very interested in your new film project, can you come to my office and have a few conversations?" Chen Manli made a gesture of invitation to Xiao Yao.
"Sure enough, it came. Xiao Yao said in his heart.
"What are you interested in?" Xiao Yao asked directly, "Do you want to express your intention to participate in investment and production on behalf of YH Company, or do you want to recommend actors or crew members to me?"
After talking to Yang Shiyun yesterday, Xiao Yao already had a score in his heart. Chen Manli is interested in nothing more than these two aspects.
"Honestly, it's a bit of both. Chen Manli saw Xiao Yao directly, and she said very simply, "I don't know if you know the rules of the Hong Kong Island Film Awards, two of the three fixed conditions must be met before the film is eligible to participate in the selection of the Academy Awards." ”
"I know," Xiao Yao nodded, and counted his fingers, "First, the director must be a resident of Hong Kong Island." Second, the production company must have a legally registered company on Hong Kong Island, and third, at least six of the sixteen work projects of the film must have staff members who are residents of Hong Kong Island. ”
"It's good that you know that way. "If our company participates in your film project, not to mention that you can easily meet the second and third conditions and qualify for the selection." Even in the promotion of next year's awards season, our company can also help you a lot!"
"I understand," Xiao Yao smiled, "Your company is a veteran Hong Kong Island entertainment company, and it has a lot of influence on the Academy Awards." However, my film is not short of money, nor is it suitable for a role for a Hong Kong Island actor. What's more, I have no intention of participating in the Academy Awards with this film!"
