Chapter 438

Xiao Yao's music video definitely needs actors. He wants to show the process of things, certainly not like his electronic version of "faded", which can be completed by himself. The original video of the previous life was shot by the Canadian musician with the help of a group of friends. Although the plot of Xiao Yao's video is not exactly the same, there will be at least two porters, three stewardesses, and a mother and daughter, that is, seven actors.

Xiao Yao doesn't have high requirements for his own video, as long as it's interesting, he doesn't need many professional actors at all. Keith Craig and Betty berett, a singer and a model, have been guest stars in movies. With their acting experience, they are more than enough to play in this video. In terms of external image, Keith Craig can be a guest bellman, and Betty bellette can be a stewardess or a mother. They want to play, but Xiao Yao can't get it.

"Of course I need actors." Xiao Yao said to the couple, "in this video, I need seven actors besides myself, but I don't have a high demand for acting skills. If I'm in China or even in New York, I can find a friend to help me. But here, I was only going to ask my girlfriend to help, and another six actors to come. Since you are willing to participate in the performance, I only need to find four more. "

In China, needless to say, if in New York, Xiao Yao can ask Paul and TJ to come and play Li Yuan, and ask Morton's mother and daughter to help him, he will not be rejected. Zhou Jingyi, sammien and sun Tingting, who play stewardesses, can just make up a free performance lineup.

"Since there is no requirement for acting skills, those actors in your video might as well ask our friends to play. I think there will be many friends willing to participate in such a fun thing. I don't know what kind of characters are in this video? " Keith Craig asked with interest.

"A mother and daughter, two porters, three stewardess." Xiao Yao briefly introduced the plot of the video to them, and then said, "my girlfriend can play one of the stewardesses, Keith you can play the bellboy, Betty you can play the stewardess, and you can also play the mother of mother and daughter. So I also need a bellboy, a little girl, two stewardesses or a stewardess and a mother. "

"Another Bellman can play Vincent," Keith Craig immediately suggested to Xiao Yao. "It's all a band. If I'm free, he'll be free. He won't refuse this kind of thing."

"Yes, no problem." Xiao Yao nodded. Keith Craig said that Vince is the bassist of daydream band Vince Valle. He has a strong body and a good shape for the porter.

"The other two adult female characters can be played by Oriana Wilson and Lily Gibson." Betty Bailette also has a candidate to recommend, "they are also in Los Angeles, and the day before yesterday they asked me to go out for dinner. They said that they are on vacation recently, and they will stay in Los Angeles for about a week, so there should be no problem with the time."

"Ah? They're in Los Angeles, too? Is this lineup too luxurious? " Xiao Yao some surprised way.

Oriana Wilson and Lily Gibson are models who have participated in the EVA show. Xiao Yao also knows them, but they are not so familiar with Betty bellette. Although they are not EVA's signing angels, they are also world-class famous models. This is a fun free video, which focuses on three world-class models and two members of world-famous rock bands. The cast is really scary.

"Isn't luxury good?" Betty bellette said with a smile, "they don't know you anyway. Are you worried that they will ask you for a reward?"

"So it is." Xiao Yao thought about it and nodded. At the same time, he thought to himself, "American Airlines, you're done! After that video was uploaded to the Internet in the previous life, with four million hits in ten days, the airline can force it to admit its mistake. Now it has such an excellent cast. Let alone four million hits in ten days, it's not impossible. How many days can you stick to it? "

"From this point of view, it seems that all the actors know Yang. We don't have to show up. We can call up the cast by Yang's own face. It seems that we just act as a liaison." Keith Craig burst out laughing.

"Wait a minute, there's still a little girl to play." Sun Tingting reminded, and then suggested, "do you want to go to Calabasas and ask Irene for help?" Although she didn't stay long at Smith's house, sun Tingting was impressed by the lively little girl.

"Irene is thirteen years old, a little older." Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "it's a bit too much trouble to take it from Calabasas and send it back after it's over." Xiao Yao wants to use that video to restore the story at that time, so he doesn't want to find a girl who is much older than Katie.

"Mom!" Several people were discussing, a little girl in pajamas came down the stairs barefoot, rubbing her eyes and shouting.

"Oh, how could I forget our baby." Betty bellette patted her forehead and said, "to what Calabasas? Isn't ally a good fit? We can just play mother and daughter. "As she said this, Betty bellette waved to Alicia Craig, her daughter who came downstairs. "Ali, come here. Tell mom, do you want to play with mom? How about we make a music video together? "

"Acting? Good The little girl jumped at once.

"Ellie is more suitable than Irene." Xiao Yao also agreed, "your whole family is out. Thank you so much for your support." Alicia Craig is not nine years old. She is more suitable to play Katie than 13-year-old Irene.

Keith Craig and Betty Brett called Vincent Valle, Oriana Wilson and Lily Gibson, respectively. It's said that Yang Xiao is going to make a video, the Craig family or the whole family are going out, and all of them are not expected to give a positive reply.

After the cast is finalized, the rest is to set up a shooting team, prepare the costumes and props, and choose the shooting site. In fact, as for the so-called shooting team, Xiao Yao mainly needs photographers. Xiao Yao and Keith Craig both decided to find two photographers who helped them shoot the wedding scene yesterday. This video doesn't need live radio, so there's no need for a recording engineer at all. Xiao Yao can design and arrange scenes, live lighting, props, costumes, and make-up, so he can just pick it up on his own. In Los Angeles and Hollywood, there are a lot of stores and shooting venues for clothing and props. For half a day, Xiao Yao is ready to go to work under the leadership of Keith Craig, a local.

As for the script, it has long been in Xiao Yao's mind. So after half a day's preparation, Xiao Yao started shooting the video the next day.

Since all of them are acquaintances of Xiao Yao, there is no obstacle for Xiao Yao to coordinate his command.

The shooting went smoothly. In a day and a half, Xiao Yao successfully shot all the influence materials he needed. The rest was his own post production. After thanking friends, especially the Craig family, for their great support, Xiao Yao returned the car he had rented near the airport in the afternoon of the third day as planned, and boarded the plane back to New York with sun Tingting.

After coming out of the New York airport, Xiao Yao took a taxi to take sun Tingting back to chambers Conservatory of music.

"After this, do you really decide to stay here? In fact, there is no good conservatory in China, and it is much safer than here. " Standing at the door of chambers, Xiao Yao asks sun Tingting again.

In fact, after sun Tingting came out of the police station, Xiao Yao, who was a little afraid, suggested to sun Tingting that she should drop out of chambers Conservatory of music and simply go back home. But at that time, sun Tingting did not agree, and Xiao Yao did not insist. Now thinking that he will return to China tomorrow, Xiao Yao, who is worried again, mentions this matter with sun Tingting again.

"I said, I don't want to give up halfway." Sun Tingting shook her head firmly and said, "if I didn't come back then, I would have finished my studies here. I don't want to drop out of chambers on my resume in the future

Looking at Xiao Yao's worried eyes, sun Tingting was moved, and then comforted Xiao Yao: "in fact, American schools are not as terrible as you think, especially chambers is a professional music school. After all, there are only a very small number of drug addicts in the school, especially people like Wyatt. You don't have to worry so much. I've been here for nearly half a year. In addition to your absence, I've had a very good time in other aspects, whether it's study or life. "

"Well," see sun Tingting so firm, Xiao Yao can only reluctantly nodded, "there is still a year and a half, I'm waiting for you to graduate."

"Rest early! If you have classes tomorrow, you don't have to come to the airport to see me off. " Xiao Yao sent sun Tingting to the dormitory and said goodbye, "I'll come to America to see you when I have time."

"Next time you come back, you must let me know in advance." Sun Tingting asked, "I'll meet you at the airport."

Xiao Yao inexplicably remembered that this time, if he didn't want to play something and suddenly appeared to surprise sun Tingting, sun Tingting would have a perfect alibi when she went to the airport to pick up the plane, and he would not be detained or even prosecuted as the main suspect, so he immediately nodded and promised: "I promise, I will never play this kind of surprise attack again. I'll let you know before I come. "

"Well," Sun Tingting held Xiao Yao fondly, "pay attention to safety on the way back. Don't forget to keep in touch with me after you return home. "

After coming out of chambers Conservatory of music, Xiao Yao did not stay in a nearby hotel. In order to catch the morning flight tomorrow morning, Xiao Yao stayed in the hotel near the airport in the evening.

Lying on the bed of the hotel, Xiao Yao takes out his mobile phone and sends text messages to TJ, Paul, Zhou Jingyi and Samin, informing him that he has returned to New York and China tomorrow. In any case, when they return home, these friends should also be informed.

Xiao Yao didn't ask sun Tingting to come to the airport to see him off, nor did he want others to. Therefore, the text messages sent by Xiao Yao to several people only told them that they were going to return home, but did not tell them their specific flight number. But there are only a few international flights in New York airport, so when Xiao Yao comes to the airport hall with his luggage the next day, Paul and others who have already arrived at the airport are waiting for him at the airport.From the mouth of sun Tingting, Xiao Yao knows that Paul and TJ have taken good care of sun Tingting in the past six months, and they are also very grateful to them. But this time when he came to the United States, sun Tingting had an accident. In order to accompany sun Tingting, he didn't get together with them very well, so he had to hug them and promise to thank them again next time he came to the United States or when they had a chance to go to China.

In the face of Zhou Jingyi and samien, Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed and unnatural. Just politely and they gently hugged as a farewell, did not say too much.

The two girls are more generous than Xiao Yao. Zhou Jingyi complains that he and sun Tingting have gone to Los Angeles quietly. Then she says that she will miss him and even go to Huaxia to find him if she has a chance. Although sammien was not as straightforward as Zhou Jingyi, he just said that the journey was smooth, but his eyes and tone... Xiao Yao wanted to turn around and run away.

After saying goodbye to some friends, Xiao Yao, who was sitting on the plane, thought that the two girls' eyes grew bigger and bigger. After the plane took off, he asked the stewardess for some vodka, drank it and fell asleep. When he came here, because he didn't know where he would go with sun Tingting in the United States and how much it would cost, Xiao Yao was very frugal and bought the economy class that needed to transfer. Now that he has finished accompanying sun Tingting, Xiao Yao feels that he will make money much faster than he will spend money after he returns home, so he extravagantly buys first-class tickets for direct flights, which can also make him sleep comfortably after drinking.

After returning to Yanjing, Xiao Yao, who has not yet bought a car, still asks Fang to pick up the plane and send her back home.

Xiao Yao, who had been sleeping for a long time on the plane, was in good spirits when he got home. Coupled with the time difference, he didn't want to rest, so he decided to continue working. There are still three or four days to leave school. Xiao Yao wants to finish the post production of a music video and a short film before school starts.

The requirement of music video is not high, relatively simple, but the problem is that there is no formal song audio. So the first thing Xiao Yao did when he got home and put down his luggage was to go into the studio in the basement of his home and record the official studio version of "American Airlines broke my guitar", and then he took it to score the video.
