After the parking lot was filmed, the task of the filming team was completed. Xiao Yao settled the remuneration with the filming team, and after thanking everyone for their hard work, the filming team was disbanded. Xiao Yao left only the camera where the footage was kept, and returned to his recording studio with Keith Craig.

In the recording studio, Xiao Yao found an empty practice room, arranged it, used a fixed-point camera to shoot some shots of his own computer, saved all the materials to his computer, and returned the professional camera rented by Keith Craig.

Although Keith Craig is also very interested in what Xiao Yao has to do at night, Xiao Yao has no intention of letting Keith Craig, who has been running with the filming team for a day, continue to participate. Not only Keith Craig, but even Fang Yi and Pei Minyi were sent back to the hotel by Xiao Yao after dinner. At night, Xiao Yao was ready to do it himself, and he only needed a cameraman. And this cameraman, he has already had a candidate.

After sending Fang Yi and Pei Minyi away, Xiao Yao, who got in the car, called the cameraman he had found: "Brother Ying, I'm Xiao Yao, where are you now? I'll pick you up!"

"I'm at school, come over by yourself and call me at the school gate. The man on the phone replied.

The cameraman Xiao Yao was looking for was none other than Mu Ying, who he met at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival. He is not only the co-screenwriter and the first director of Xiao Yao's BMW series of short films, but also one of the main creators of the parkour movies prepared by Xiao Yao's team, and his relationship with Xiao Yao is also very close.

Mu Ying is a graduate student of USC, and USC is located in downtown Los Angeles, and Mu Ying also lives in Los Angeles. After seeing the report of Xiao Yao's accident on the TV news, Mu Ying also called Xiao Yao. At that time, Xiao Yao had already escaped from the robbers, and Xiao Yao told the other party that he was okay and did not let him go to New York.

This time in Los Angeles, Xiao Yao originally planned to meet Mu Ying. After watching the videos sent by some netizens yesterday, Xiao Yao, who was not very satisfied, planned to shoot some videos by himself tonight. The protagonist of the video is Xiao Yao himself, who needs a cameraman, but what he does is not suitable for the involvement of an unfamiliar cameraman invited by Keith Craig, Xiao Yao thought of this professional who was going to meet. I contacted Mu Ying on the phone last night, and knew that Mu Ying had nothing to do tonight, so Xiao Yao made an appointment with him to come out and shoot something "fun" together tonight.

Twenty minutes later, Xiao Yao arrived at the gate of USC. called Mu Ying to inform him of his arrival, and it didn't take long for Mu Ying to come out and get into Xiao Yao's car with a small handheld high-definition DV machine.

After the two who hadn't seen each other for a long time exchanged pleasantries, Mu Ying couldn't help but complain: "I watched the video you posted with your YRF account to recruit actors, and today you went to shoot the MV during the day, right? You didn't even call me, you're not interesting enough!"

As the main creator of the parkour movie, Mu Ying naturally also pays attention to YRF's account and knows about Xiao Yao's recruitment of people to shoot MVs. It's just that he has only been in contact with parkour for about half a year, and he is still a rookie at all, plus he knows Xiao Yao, and he thinks that if Xiao Yao needs him, he will call him directly, so he didn't send an email to join in the fun.

My friend has already helped me find a shooting team, and there are already cameramen in it, and in fact, many times in today's shooting, the cameraman's work has been robbed by me, and there is no need to use you, the big director. Xiao Yao explained with a smile, "And I didn't completely exclude you from the MV shooting." What we're going to shoot tonight is also the material for this MV. It's just that what I'm doing tonight seems to be illegal, and it's inconvenient for irrelevant people to know, doesn't this immediately think of you?"

"Do you want me to do something illegal?" Mu Ying glared and said, "You really take care of me!"

"What's the matter?, scared?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Isn't there still you? you're not afraid, what am I afraid of?" Mu Ying smiled and shook his head.

"Actually, you don't have to worry at all," Xiao Yao said, "I'll do everything that violates the law, you're just in charge of filming, even if you're caught by the police, you'll be fine." What I'm going to do is not a serious crime of murder and arson, at most it is damage to public property, and even if I am caught, it will not be a big deal. Because of the two cases some time ago, I have a good relationship with the American police. When the time comes, I will find someone from the FBI to intercede for me, at most it will be a warning, I will not be detained, and I will be left with a criminal record. ”

"Anyway, I listen to you, something happened, and your big head is in front. Mu Ying smiled.

"That's not necessarily," Xiao Yao smiled deliberately, "I'm good at running faster than you, if I really run into the police, I run away, you are arrested, don't blame me!"

"Huh?" Mu Ying glared again.

"Well, just kidding, I'm sure I won't leave you behind. Xiao Yao smiled, "Now let's talk about what we're going to do tonight, first go to the subway station..."

In the whole of the United States, not counting light rail, there are only seven cities with subways, and Los Angeles happens to be one of these seven cities. Unlike cities such as New York and Boston, which were already built in the 19th century, the Los Angeles subway was only built in 2002, 139 years later than New York, where a similar subway railway first appeared, and it is the latest and most modern subway among the seven cities, which is also in line with the modern style of Xiao Yao's MV.

At the 5th Avenue Station of the Blue Line, where there are fewer people, Mu Ying, who has already passed through the subway turnstile, held the DV and pointed the camera at Xiao Yao on the other end of the turnstile.

Xiao Yao, who was still dressed in a black hood and a mask, started to run from about ten meters outside the turnstile, jumped up when he ran to the turnstile, propped his hands on the turnstile, jumped over the entrance turnstile with a King Kong, and landed on the platform on the other side of the turnstile. Taking out his mobile phone and glancing at it, Xiao Yao quickly ran to a car that was closing, and jumped in before the door closed.

Mu Ying held the DV and looked left and right, and found that there was no one on the platform, and no one noticed Xiao Yao's behavior at all, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, found a place to sit down, waited for the arrival of the next train, and went to the next station to meet Xiao Yao.

At the next stop, Xiao Yao, who had already gotten off the train, boarded the train where Mu Ying was and joined Mu Ying. Seeing that the carriage he was in was almost empty, Xiao Yao asked Mu Ying to take some shots of him looking alone in the subway car.

After the camera on the subway was filmed, Xiao Yao and Mu Ying found a place to rest and chat, and talked about the parkour script by the way, and waited until the early hours of the morning before the two drove to the intersection of San Pedro Street and Second Street.

After getting out of the car, Xiao Yao was still dressed in black and masked, carrying a bucket of white paint and a large paint brush with a long handle in front, and Mu Ying, who followed behind, except for occasionally patting the street sign next to him, spent most of his time patting Xiao Yao's back and the things in his hands.

Xiao Yao walked to the middle of the crossroads, dipped the paint brush in paint, and wrote on the ground in the middle of the crossroads, and Mu Ying also recorded the process completely. In the original MV, the word for this scene is "alkerJoin", which not only corresponds to the surname in the name Alanalker, but also takes the meaning of the word "alker". Xiao Yao didn't call alker, so he wrote "YoungGather", which also used a word in his name as a pun.

"That's it?" After returning to the car, Mu Ying asked with some curiosity, "Aren't you afraid that passing cars will crush these words?"

"Then we can't stand here and stop passing cars, then we really recruit the police. Xiao Yao said, "I use quick-drying paint, and it's early in the morning, there are very few cars in this section at this time, so there should be no problem." ”

"But that's pretty well done. Xiao Yao continued, "Tomorrow during the morning rush hour, I will also take some footage of vehicles and pedestrians passing here. I've chosen all the locations, it's on the roof over there, you leave the DV to me, and you don't have to come together tomorrow. I'll go to you in the afternoon, return the machine to you, and take my parents on a tour of USC. ”

Early the next morning, Xiao Yao appeared on the roof of the building where the Union Bank was located on Second Avenue with a DV machine. Just as he was holding a DV to film the traffic and people passing through this intersection, the sound of a helicopter suddenly sounded overhead. Xiao Yao, who was a little weak-hearted, was startled, and quickly looked up to find that a helicopter was flying overhead. However, judging from the appearance of the fuselage of the aircraft, this is not a police helicopter, but a helicopter printed with the logo of a television station and used by a certain television station for news reporting.

"Damn, if I knew this, I wouldn't have to get up so early today. Xiao Yao thought of a possibility, and quickly turned off the DV and slipped away. Anyway, the required material has been filmed, and Xiao Yao doesn't want to be discovered by the news reporters on the helicopter.

When Xiao Yao returned to the hotel, Ye Jiaying, Xiao Siqi and others had already gotten up. Several people gathered together for breakfast, and Xiao Yao was about to discuss today's itinerary with his parents when Keith Craig came over with a tablet.

"Jan, that's what you did last night, did you know that vandalizing public property is a crime?" said Keith Craig with a deliberate look of seriousness.

"Huh?" Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying were startled, and looked at Xiao Yao nervously, "What did you do last night?"

"What are you talking about? I don't understand!" Xiao Yao deliberately pretended to be stupid.

"Load!" Keith Craig said, turning on his tablet and pulling up a video of the morning news, "Don't tell me you didn't do this!"

In the video, a news anchor in the studio is broadcasting the large graffiti at the intersection of San Pedro Street and Second Avenue, and in the upper right corner of the screen is a helicopter aerial view of the intersection. The news anchor told the news with an attitude of broadcasting anecdotes, guessing that this is some young people's performance art, but because this is a relatively prosperous intersection, not the walls and ground of some art district, he reminded him at the end that it is illegal to damage public facilities casually, and hoped that those young people who play performance art will pay attention to graffiti.

"Where did you see that I did it?" Xiao Yao laughed. Although the news anchor didn't say anything serious, Xiao Yao didn't intend to admit it.

"The police released the surveillance video of this intersection, and there were two people at the time, one graffiti, and the other filmed, both of whom were dressed in black and masked in your MV. Keith Craig pointed to a surveillance video released by the police at the end of the news.

"You also said that it was black and masked, and you couldn't tell it was me. Xiao Yao smiled, "There were at least 100 people dressed like this in Los Angeles yesterday, so it must be me." I asked netizens to help me shoot a video, and I didn't say that they should go to a busy intersection to graffiti, even instigation, it can't be counted as my head. ”

Xiao Yao also knew that many places in the city had traffic surveillance cameras, and when he appeared under the surveillance camera, Xiao Yao not only covered his face, but also asked Mu Ying to cover his face, and deliberately parked the car in the blind spot of the surveillance and walked over, and even the license plate number was not photographed by the surveillance. Just by looking at this outfit, many people will indeed think that he did it, but without substantial evidence, Xiao Yao can also be killed and not admit it.

"You—" Keith Craig pointed at Xiao Yao speechlessly. In fact, this is not a big deal in itself, the main reason why Keith Craig came to him was to confirm the conjecture in his heart, and by the way, he expressed to Xiao Yao that such a fun thing would not bring his dissatisfaction, but he didn't expect Xiao Yao to refuse to admit it.

"Do you know why that guy didn't call you?" Xiao Yao naturally knew Keith Craig's purpose, and nodded on the screen of the tablet with a smile and said, "You are such a rock star, you are all people with children, it's not appropriate to play this!"

"You mean I'm old?" said Keith Craig's glare. Xiao Yao's words also belong to the admission of a change of direction, but on the surface of the language, it still won't let people grasp any handles.

"That," Xiao Yao scratched his head, changed the topic, and turned to his parents and said, "Let's go to USC in the afternoon, I have a friend there, a graduate student majoring in directing, I'll go see him, introduce him to you, and let's visit this world-renowned university by the way." ”

"Okay!" Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying both nodded. Their itinerary has always been arranged by Xiao Yao, of course, there is no objection. It's just that they all saw that Xiao Yao did it, and when they nodded, they couldn't help but smile on their faces.

"Keith, our trip is almost over, we will return to Huaxia tomorrow, and I will say goodbye to you in advance. Xiao Yao turned to Keith Craig again, "Please also say goodbye to Betty and Elle on our behalf." The song I and Liv will be handed over to Times Records for distribution, and the post-production of the MV will be brought back to Huaxia to complete, and after it is done, it will also be handed over to them to contact the broadcast channel. ”

"Okay," Keith Craig nodded helplessly and spread his arms, "Next time you come to the United States, remember to come to us!"

"Definitely!" Xiao Yao and Keith Craig hugged.

In the afternoon of the same day, Xiao Yao took Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying to USC to meet Mu Ying. Under the leadership of Mu Ying, the group walked around USC and had a good look at this world-famous university.

After returning to the hotel in the evening, Xiao Yao edited several videos taken the night before and this morning into a whole video clip, and posted it online through YRF's account. In the video, Xiao Yao also deliberately added a clip of the morning news in the United States found on the Internet and added it. In the introduction below the video, it is stated that this is the MV material created by someone for YS's MV, but it is not said who the specific producer is.

At this time, netizens and the media all know the cause of the "graffiti incident" in the morning news. Although the video does not state who the producer is, everyone can only guess that this person is likely to be YS himself, and it is impossible to say for sure that the person who did those things in the video must be YS himself, but since it is said that the purpose of making this video is to provide material for YS's MV, then these things are inseparable from YS anyway.

The next day, many local media in Los Angeles checked Xiao Yao's whereabouts and wanted to interview him about this matter, but found that his family had already boarded the plane to fly back to China and returned to China.

Regardless of whether or not you can be sure that it was done by YS himself, since YRF posted this video, it means that this video is what he needs for his MV. As a result, many parkour people around the world who wanted to contribute material to the MV began to follow suit. In the next few days, Xiao Yao's email began to receive some similar videos one after another, and some such videos appeared directly on the Internet.

The footage on the subway didn't have much impact, but the sudden appearance of a large area of English word graffiti at an intersection in a busy section of the road had a big impact, and some local news outlets reported on such things as the Los Angeles media.

Graffiti on a busy road can make the news? This is a very attractive point. When netizens put these news events together and posted them on the Internet, it gradually turned into a movement and a new trend of performance art. Many people who don't play parkour and don't have any ideas about YS's MV join in purely because they follow the trend and have fun, and graffiti of these two English words appears at more and more bustling intersections of cities.
