Chapter 328: MV Creativity
After recording the song, he took the mother and took it away, and then paid at the door, which cost fifteen thousand dollars for an hour, which is only the price of the smallest studio.
Out of Karan's studio, Zheng Xudong said to Scott: "Let's go, let's go to the airport and fly to Los Angeles." ”
"Okay. "Scott drove straight to the airport.
Zheng Xudong called Sean in the car and asked him to go to the airport to meet him, and then go to Los Angeles together. Then he called Ivanka and told him that he would fly to Los Angeles later and asked her to get her hotel ready. Ivanka was also very happy to hear that he would be coming to Los Angeles soon, and told him that he could go to the Hilton hotel where he stayed last time, or the presidential suite.
After Zheng Xudong met Sean at the airport, he just said that he was going to buy a plane ticket, but then the phone rang, and he answered it directly without looking, and before he could speak, the phone first said: "Anton, I'm Essleen Solheim, I've arrived in New York, where are you?"
Zheng Xudong didn't expect that this girl really had to rush from Norway to New York, "Esslyn Solheim, hello, I'm at the gate of JFK Airport in New York... Before he could finish speaking, he screamed and said, "Really?!" I just arrived! You wait for me there for a few minutes, and I'm taking the salute, and I'll be there right away. Then I listened to the phone and hung up.
"I didn't expect this silly girl to come!" said Scott.
"Is there any surprise in this?" Zheng Xudong asked.
Scott shook his head and said nothing. Zheng Xudong said to Sean: "We don't need to buy tickets first, or the tickets from New York to Los Angeles won't be sold out in a while." ”
Sean smiled and said, "Boss, you still don't know much about the United States!" Seeing Zheng Xudong's confused look, he explained: "New York is the largest city in the United States, and Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States, just like the capital and magic capital of your country." I haven't done the statistics, but I'm sure that there are at least six flights per hour between New York and Los Angeles, which is even shorter than the subway interval in your country's capital, with more than 160 flights a day between the two cities, so you don't have to worry about not being able to buy a ticket. ”
Zheng Xudong was right when he thought about it, it is true that these are the two largest cities in the world, and he smiled a little embarrassedly: "It's up again!"
At this time, a deep female voice sounded next to him, "Hi! Hello, are you Mr. Anton?" may be affected by Zheng Xudong's height, and when the girl turned around and saw Scott, she happily threw herself into his arms, "Uncle Sgut, hello, I didn't expect to meet you here, my father asked me to say hello to you on his behalf." ”
Scott put his face on the girl, then turned to him and said, "Aisling, this is the Mr. Anton you are looking for." ”
Aisling Solheim's personality is not as cheerful as Zheng Xudong imagined, on the contrary, she is also a little introverted, and when she saw her benefactor standing in front of her, she said a little shyly: "Hello, Mr. Anton, I finally met you, I can say thank you in person, thank you for your trust in giving me such an excellent work to sing." After speaking, he took the initiative to stretch out his hands and shake Zheng Xudong.
"Miss Esslyn Solheim, it was actually Mr. Scott who recommended you to me to sing. Zheng Xudong told the truth, it was indeed recommended by Scott at that time, saying that she was the daughter of an old friend of his, and the noise was not bad, so he didn't say anything, and he learned through the time and space lock that later this song was indeed sung by her, this favor was Scott's, and it really had little to do with him.
Scott said happily beside him: "Aisling, although I recommended you, it was Mr. Anton who made the final decision. ”
Although Esslyn Solheim's personality is a little shy and a little shy, this does not mean that she is stupid, "Uncle Scott, I understand, Mr. Anton, I still want to thank you, by the way, you can call me Linlin in the future, this is my nickname, my father always calls me that." ”
Zheng Xudong thought to himself, "Forget it, Scott didn't call you Linlin if he had such a good relationship with your father, I just met you or keep a certain distance, don't provoke these love debts again." Then he said with some embarrassment, "I'll call you Aisling." ”
"Well, as long as you like. After speaking, he pulled the box on the ground, "Mr. Anton, can I go into town with you? I want to invite you to a meal in New York to express my gratitude." ”
Zheng Xudong knew that this girl had misunderstood, he glanced at Scott, and said with some embarrassment: "Miss Aisling, we didn't just arrive in New York, we are leaving New York to attend an event in Los Angeles, so you see that you are... ”
Esslyn Solheim was obviously disappointed when she heard this, and was a little overwhelmed, pinching the corner of her clothes with her hand and not speaking, Scott saw this situation and said: "Essling, in this way, you find a hotel in New York to stay first, and Mr. Anton and I will be back in two days, and then we will discuss with you the singer of his new song "ALONE". ”
The little girl nodded a little emotionally and said, "Okay, that's it." ”
Zheng Xudong was also a little unbearable when he saw her like this, this may be the flaw in his character, "Always too soft-hearted!" he said beside him, "Miss Aisling, if you are afraid of being tired, you can go to Los Angeles with us for a walk." ”
"Really, great, I'm not tired, I slept on the plane for seven hours, and I'm so energetic!" Essleen Solheim jumped up happily when she heard Zheng Xudong's words, and finally kissed Zheng Xudong on the face.
Sean looked at him and shook his head and sighed, "Alas, boss, I'm going to buy a plane ticket." After saying that, he turned around and entered the airport.
Scott could only smile helplessly and walked towards the airport, and Esslyn Solheim happily dragged his gift box with one hand and took his "uncle" Sgut's arm with the other hand and walked towards the airport. In fact, Esslyn Solheim wanted to hold Zheng Xudong's arm, but the first time he was really not familiar with it, and then he looked at this young man with the momentum of a superior person, his face was more serious, and he didn't smile, so he didn't dare.
Zheng Xudong didn't salute either, and walked in after the two of them.
The four of them took the ticket and boarded the nearest flight, because it was a domestic route, so they only had business class on this plane, and there was no first class, in fact, the relative position of New York and Los Angeles if we use the relative position of our country, it is to fly from Dalian to Lhasa, which may be closer to the border than Lhasa, just like a place where thieves and fires later, Doklam. Okay, relative position is just to give everyone an idea in their minds, because it's all forbidden words, so let's stop here.
On the plane, the seats of the four of them were in a row, with two wide seats on one side, and an aisle in the middle, Scott sat next to Zheng Xudong at his request, while Sean and Esslyn Solheim sat together, originally Esslyn Solheim thought that she could sit with Zheng Xudong, but seeing that the result was not as she imagined, although it was a little unpleasant, she didn't say it, just pouted a little. Sean, as a person who came over, just smiled indifferently, he often traveled due to work all the year round, as soon as he got on the plane, he put a cushion under his neck, and then took out a black eye mask and put it on, and put the seat back to the backmost position. Before the plane could take off, he was already snoring. This made Aelyn Solheim, who was sitting next to him, even more depressed.
Scott knew that if he let himself sit next to him, he must have something to say for a while, so he didn't put the seat down to sleep, and when the plane climbed to an altitude of 10,000 meters and the seat belt warning lights were lifted, Zheng Xudong whispered to him in his ear: "Hey! Sgut, since this girl Aisling has come, let her sing the song "ALONE", what do you say? I want to hear your opinion. ”
The reason why Scott is willing to follow Zheng Xudong's side is actually for this reason, that is, this young and talented young man knows how to listen to other people's opinions and voices, and is not arbitrary, nor will he monopolize power, in fact, this song is his own lyrics, although he is an artist in an entertainment company on the surface, he can see that Andrea does not interfere with his decisions in acting. There are even times when President Andrea in turn lets him make decisions. This is also the reason why Scott is more confused. Today, this young man is still like this, I want to listen to his opinion, he didn't say politely directly: "Anton, I also watched this song, it is indeed more appropriate for Aisling to sing, originally I was still thinking about who you would choose to sing it, now okay, Aisling is here, I can record the MV of this "ALONE" as quickly as possible." Get to market as early as possible. It is conceivable that there will be another boom. ”
"Alright, Scott, the two of us don't have to flatter each other here. Seeing Scott smile and continue, "You can talk about another song of mine, what do you think?" asked Zheng Xudong.
"I really didn't think of any good ideas for this song, do you have any good ideas?"
Zheng Xudong thought about the MV that Brother Mars filmed later, and it was still good, so he said to him: "Well, Scott, I have an idea, I will tell me, you listen to it, and then give an opinion." ”
"Well, I'll hear you!" said Scott, too, who was really surprised that the young man could come up with an idea.
"I'm not going to make it that complicated this time. Looking for a larger room, the props were a fabric sofa, a coffee table, a piano, an old-fashioned tape recorder, a cassette tape, and an actress. Hearing him say so simple made Scott even more intrigued.
"At the beginning of the MV, the actress was sitting on the couch and listening to the song from the tape recorder, of course, the song "JUST THE WAY YOU ARE", and then I walked to the tape recorder and pressed it, and took out the tape inside, I sat on the couch and put the tape on the coffee table, and as the music moved forward, I pulled out the tape from the cassette box and posed it like the girl sitting opposite. Of course, computer animation is needed here, and you have to figure it out. I kept changing the way I pulled out the tape, and I conjured up different patterns, just like an animation. The girl sitting across from me had itchy hands and didn't like the pattern I posed, so she sat down and fiddled with me, and then fell in love with each other. There was a picture of the singer playing the piano, and at the end I would sit in front of a real piano and play for the actress. As the song ends, the relationship between the two has warmed up to that extent. You get the idea. After speaking, Zheng Xudong picked up the mineral water next to the chair and took a sip. Then look at Scott's reaction.
Scott was fascinated by the words, "Anton, is this really an idea you came up with?!"
