Chapter 772: Change of Plan

"Good car!" Xiao Yao patted the outside of the car door and smiled at Feng Junting.

"Hehe," Feng Junting, who was about to start in gear, let go of his handblock, but instead pulled up the handbrake and said, "If you like it, do you want you to drive?"

"No!" Xiao Yao waved his hand, "I'm not used to this right-hand drive car, so you should drive it!"

"Okay!" Feng Junting saw Xiao Yao wave his hand, let go of the handbrake, and started in gear.

"You just said that if you like it, I thought you would say that if you like it, I'll give it to you!" After getting on the road, Xiao Yao turned his head to look at Feng Junting and smiled.

"Huh?" Feng Junting was stunned, then smiled, "Yes, if you like it, I'll give it to you!"

"Really, tens of millions of luxury cars, just give them away?" Xiao Yao said in surprise.

"This car was given to me by my family, not for me to spend money, and I just sent it, so I don't feel distressed. Feng Junting smiled, "This car is too eye-catching, I rarely drive it." If I hadn't come to pick you up today, I wouldn't have opened it. Anyway, the garage parked at home is also dusty, if you like it, it's no problem to send you. ”

"Don't don't, I'm kidding!" Xiao Yao waved his hand again and again, "You don't usually drive such an eye-catching car, and I won't drive it." Besides, I live in the mainland, and all left-hand drive cars are used, and your right-hand drive car can't be driven in the mainland. I'm not interested in collecting luxury cars!"

"Then when do you want to drive on Hong Kong Island, feel free to look for me, I'll lend you to drive!" Feng Junting said.

"Then thank you first!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded.

"I went to the company in the afternoon and saw Angela practicing her songs. Feng Junting said to Xiao Yao again, "The song "onderful U" you wrote for her is so good!"

"Really?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Her voice condition is very good, and her singing skills are also very good." ”

Angela is Yang Shiyun's English name, Xiao Yao knew it when he participated in the show last year, and knew that the Angela that Feng Junting said was Yang Shiyun.

"Her voice is very good, and she sings well," Feng Junting rolled his eyes helplessly, "But what I said just now was obviously praising you for being good?"

"Praise me, why are you praising me?" Xiao Yao smiled, "You don't want to invite songs, do you?" I think it's better for you to focus on being an actor!"

"Hey, what do you mean, I'm also a singer, okay?" Feng Junting said dissatisfied.

"It turns out that you made your debut as a singer?" Xiao Yao said deliberately, "So you can't sing anymore, so you transformed into an actor?"

"You~" Feng Junting gritted his teeth and said, "I really want to take you to the gym to fight again!"

"Are you trying to abuse yourself?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Why bother?"

The two quarreled all the way, and soon arrived at the restaurant where Chen Manli had booked a place.

This is a high-end Cantonese restaurant with a lot of characteristics, and Chen Manli booked a private room. In addition to Xiao Yao and Feng Junting, the only people who came were Xu Wenxiang, Chen Manli and Yang Shiyun. They were all acquaintances, and no one bothered them, and the atmosphere of this dinner was relatively relaxed and pleasant.

In a boxing match in the afternoon, Feng Junting and Xiao Yao were already familiar with each other. Feng Junting lost in boxing in the afternoon, and the bickering on the way here was not as good as Xiao Yao. Seeing the relaxed atmosphere at dinner, Feng Junting, who refused to admit defeat, actually fought with Xiao Yao again.

After Feng Junting and Xiao Yao drank three cups in a row, the purpose was already obvious. Xu Wenxiang, Chen Manli and Yang Shiyun, who saw Feng Junting's purpose, came out to stop it together, and dissuaded Feng Junting on the grounds that Xiao Yao was going to record tomorrow, and Yang Shiyun even took the initiative to say that she wanted to drink with Feng Junting on behalf of Xiao Yao.

However, Xiao Yao did not accept the kindness of the three of them, and insisted on fighting with Feng Junting. Of course, the most important thing is that in a one-on-one situation, Xiao Yao is absolutely confident that he will also take Feng Junting down when he drinks.

Although the figures of the two look similar, Feng Junting is a few years older than Xiao Yao, but Feng Junting is a southerner, Xiao Yao is a northerner, and he is still a northerner who has been going to the wine shop in the alley to find liquor to drink since he was a child, Xiao Yao doesn't believe that he can't drink Feng Junting.

The facts also proved Xiao Yao's judgment. After this dinner, Feng Junting was helped out of the restaurant, and the person who helped him was Xiao Yao.

The next morning, Xiao Yao still went to YH Entertainment Company to record the official version of the two songs "Yuan" and "onderful U" for Yang Shiyun.

The recording of the two songs took almost a day in total. In addition to the music director Xu Wenxiang who was watching Xiao Yao's recording this time, there was also one more audience member in the recording studio, that is, Feng Junting, who was drunk by Xiao Yao last night.

Feng Junting only came here at noon. Feng Junting, who was obviously in a state of low energy and had some hangovers, immediately regretted his statement when he saw Xiao Yao, and in addition to not boxing with Xiao Yao in the future, he would definitely stop drinking with Xiao Yao!

After spending a whole day recording both songs, Xiao Yao's task in YH Company this time was completed, but Chen Manli didn't want to let Xiao Yao go like that.

I don't know if it's because Xiao Yao jokingly blocked Feng Junting's mouth in the car yesterday, Chen Manli didn't ask Xiao Yao to write songs for Feng Junting, but Yang Shiyun's three songs wanted to shoot MV, and Chen Manli found Xiao Yao again because of this matter.

Xiao Yao worked as a MV director before becoming a film director. Except for the first few MVs, Xiao Yao's song MVs are basically filmed by himself, and the script is also written by himself. There are many of these MVs with good quality and high popularity, and many people know that Xiao Yao has the ability to shoot MVs.

However, Xiao Yao told Chen Manli and Xu Wenxiang the day before yesterday that he only had four days to free on Hong Kong Island, and then he would return to Shencheng. At that time, Chen Manli didn't know what Xiao Yao was doing when he returned to Shencheng, but now she knew that Xiao Yao was probably going to start working on movies.

Now that three days have passed, the remaining day is definitely not enough to shoot the MV, Chen Manli knows that Xiao Yao is unlikely to delay her film project in order to shoot the MV for Yang Shiyun, so she does not want to find Xiao Yao to be the MV director to shoot the MV of these three songs, but to ask Xiao Yao if he has any ideas on how to shoot the MV of these three songs. To put it bluntly, it is to ask Xiao Yao if he can write a script for the MV of the three songs.

Xiao Yao thought about it carefully in his mind, and found that it was different from those songs that he had heard in his previous life, but he was not impressed, and he could still remember that the MVs of those songs were completely unseen in his previous life, and no matter how he thought about it, it was impossible to change them out of thin air from any corner of his memory. Fortunately, although the production and copyright of the song were contracted, the contract did not stipulate MV matters, so Xiao Yao refused without any burden.

Although I wrote this song, you Hong Kong people must have a deeper affection for the wedding card street than me, a mainlander! The MV of this song, you find a screenwriter and director on Hong Kong Island to shoot it, it must be better than the script that I, a mainlander, think! As for the other two songs, love songs, your company has rich experience in this area, and has filmed a lot of MVs for love songs, I believe you must have experienced professionals in this field!

Originally, I didn't want to bother my brain and wanted to be lazy and hide from the excuse, but when Xiao Yao said this, it sounded like Xiao Yao was humble in order to take care of YH company and Hong Kong people's face, and won a good impression by his white heart.

The three songs were recorded, the MV didn't need to be ignored, Xiao Yao had nothing to do for the time being, so he contacted Lin Jingliang again. When he learned that Lin Jingliang had almost dealt with the matter at hand and could leave for the mainland the next day, Xiao Yao also gave up his plan to stay on Hong Kong Island for one more day, met Lin Jingliang the next day, and flew back to Shencheng with him.

Shencheng is Xiao Yao's permanent residence, and Lin Jingliang is the art director invited by Xiao Yao. Leaving Hong Kong Island and coming to Shencheng, Xiao Yao changed from a guest to a host in front of Lin Jingliang. Xiao Yao not only booked a hotel for Lin Jingliang in advance, but also took Lin Jingliang as a tour guide to play in Shencheng for a day after flying to Shencheng.

Lin Jingliang and Xiao Yao came to the mainland to make movies, so the two just rested and played for a day on the day they arrived in Shencheng, and from the next day, the two began to enter the state of work.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yao took Lin Jingliang to the young man film and television company and convened a meeting of the relevant personnel of the film project.

As the producer, producer and director of the film, the actors of the main characters, the filming locations, and the heads of various departments of the crew are all things that Xiao Yao needs to personally participate in the decision-making. But the film crew is a very large organization, involving a lot of things and personnel, and it is impossible for Xiao Yao to do everything alone. Some people and things that are not particularly important, as well as the preparatory work for some important things, are entrusted to other people.

Xiao Yao convened a meeting of relevant personnel this time, in addition to introducing Lin Jingliang to everyone, it was also officially announced that the film preparation work had entered the substantive stage. Prior to this, Xiao Yao found several professionals with relevant experience in the company as co-producers of the film, and looked for a list of some crew members in advance.

In the film and television industry, such as photography, lighting and other behind-the-scenes work, there are many inheritance practices that are inherited by masters and apprentices, and some of the more famous photographers and gaffers are also used to working with some fixed partners, so the choice of some departments is a whole team.

Since it was said before that everything related to film aesthetics in the movie is in charge of Lin Jingliang, the art director, so Lin Jingliang's opinion is also needed to be listened to in the selection of the staff of the costume, makeup, road, lighting, and photography departments. Xiao Yao simply handed over the information of these candidates to Lin Jingliang, so that Lin Jingliang, who is more experienced in the industry, would pick first, and then make the final choice from Lin Jingliang's favorite candidates.

Most of the staff in the crew and art-related departments were selected by Lin Jingliang first, and the actors had no concerns about this. In terms of casting, Xiao Yao has been entrusted to a casting studio, and they already have a lot of alternatives, just waiting for Xiao Yao to notify the candidates of the actors to audition after the audition time is finalized. Xiao Yao is responsible for the casting, Lin Jingliang can participate or not, and if he participates, he can also provide advice, but it is Xiao Yao who makes the decision.

Now the list of candidates given by the casting studio has been screened by them, and Xiao Yao is basically satisfied after reading the information. If Xiao Yao auditions again, he doesn't plan to do a few more rounds of auditions, how to feel appropriate, it is not impossible to decide on an audition.

Because the actor for the role has to sign a contract with the actor after selecting the role, Xiao Yao asked the company's legal department to make the contract text in advance, and bring the contract text with him when preparing for the audition. If you feel the right fit at the audition, you can negotiate the conditions and sign the contract on the spot.

However, when the legal staff printed out the contract template, Xiao Yao found that he had overlooked a problem after reading it.

Although the name of Xiao Yao's film and television company is Young People, and several shareholders of the company are all young people who have just graduated from college, it does not mean that the employees in the company are all young rookie newcomers.

The person in charge of the company's legal department is a young and middle-aged person with rich experience in the industry, and the contract drawn up by the legal department is very detailed, even more detailed than some ordinary contracts in the industry, avoiding many loopholes. But after Xiao Yao took a closer look, he still found a problem.

This problem is not a contract problem, but Xiao Yao's own problem. Generally, in addition to the remuneration, the various treatments during the filming are also clearly stipulated in the contract for the actors. In the contract given by the legal counsel, the treatment given to the actors was also mentioned, that is, it was in accordance with general industry standards, which was not a problem, but after Xiao Yao watched it, he remembered that when he went to find Lin Jingliang, he took the initiative to mention that the conditions of the filming location would be more difficult. According to the filming location I envisioned, it is in a high-altitude and arid and relatively remote place in the northwest of Shanxi Province, and the treatment listed in the contract may not be provided at all!

"Mr. Lin," Xiao Yao, who had read the contract template, turned his head to Lin Jingliang and said, "I think, should we choose the scenery first, and then select the actors and other staff?"

"Of course I don't have a problem. Lin Jingliang smiled, "But I remember when I was at home, you told me that you planned to audition first, and then set off to choose the scene after determining the actors for the main roles, why did you suddenly change your mind?"

"Because I don't think everybody cares about the conditions of the shoot as much as you do. Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid that the filming conditions are too difficult, and some people are reluctant to go." Of course, I can tell him in advance that the filming location is in the northwest, and the conditions are very difficult, so I can make some compensation in terms of economy. But these things are too abstract, and I can't say how hard it is. So I wanted to choose a good location first, understand the specific situation of the filming location, and know what kind of accommodation and food standards we can provide for them at that time, so that it is better to spread out and talk to them. Lest the contract is signed, some people will look there and feel that the actual situation is different from what they imagined or what I described, and they feel that they have been cheated, and it will not be good to have a dispute at that time. ”

As an actor, Xiao Yao's TV series was recommended by Ye Jiaying, the contract was signed by Ye Jiaying, the filming location was in the film and television city, and the movie "127 Hours" was directed by Ye Jiaying, and the agent still helped sign the contract, and Xiao Yao himself didn't watch it very carefully. As a director, Xiao Yao shoots short films in the city, and animated films are made in the studio, which does not involve this aspect of the problem. Parkour movies are also filmed in the city, and the specific contract is in charge of the more experienced Mu Ying, Xiao Yao doesn't care much. Therefore, Xiao Yao had never considered this aspect before.

"Okay, you're the director, I'll listen to you!" Lin Jingliang spread his hands and said, "But I remember you said that the time for the actor's audition is set, what are you going to do?"

"Then you have to change the time of the audition. Xiao Yao said, "I said I didn't want to change the time of the audition, but it wasn't that I couldn't change it." ”
