Chapter 731

"Two songs of" alone " Dean Smith couldn't help joking, "young, how lonely are you? If you feel lonely, you might as well transfer to America. "

"Does he look like a lonely man to you?" Xiao Siqi said with a smile, "he also said in the morning that the songs he wrote were not all about himself from his own feelings."

"It's not about being alone, it's about not being alone." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "it's easier to call it" alone ". Maybe I should change the name of the song to" not alone "or" you're not alone "?

the song Xiao Yao plans to cooperate with liv Palmer is another electronic single" alone "by Alan walker. This song has the same style as "faded" and "sing me to sleep", but it is different from the meaning of confusion and search in the first two songs. What this song talks about is not loneliness, but the meaning of "I am not alone".

In the original version of the previous life, "faded" and "sing me to sleep" are both CO authored by Alan Walker and Iselin Solheim. Xiao Yao is also looking for Gong Chen, who thinks his ethereal voice is similar to that of Iselin Solheim. In the original version of the previous life, "alone" is co authored by another female singer, noonie Bao. The timbres of the two female singers are quite different, so Xiao Yao didn't ask Gong Chen to complete the third song, and he also told Gong Chen in advance that he would find different female singers to cooperate in his electronic album.

As for the voice characteristics of noonie Bao, the original singer of "alone" by Alan walker, Xiao Yao feels that her voice seems to have a little baby voice. After hearing liv Palmer's voice, Xiao Yao suddenly thinks of noonie Bao and wants to take the opportunity to make this song "alone".

"Change the name of the song?" Keith Craig laughs, "don't tell me you just wrote this song?"

"No, it's a song written before. I just didn't find a suitable female singer." Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "but since it's my own song, I can change the title if I want to."

"Forget it, I still don't want to change it." Xiao Yao thought about it, but he still shook his head and said, "there are a lot of repetition of song names. It's OK for me to write two songs" alone. "

The repetition of song names is not uncommon in the whole music world. However, it is very rare for a composer to name two completely different music works with the same name. But it is precisely because of this rare situation that Xiao Yao prefers to do so. Moreover, even if it's changed to "notalone" or "you're notalone", Xiao Yao still has "notalone" by link'park and "you're notalone" by Michael Jackson in his previous life in his mind. Maybe these two songs will come out again some time, and they will have the same name at that time.

"Keith, I don't want liv to go all the way to China. I plan to finish this song before I leave America, so I want to borrow your studio, OK?" Xiao Yao looks at Keith Craig.

"No problem, of course. You're welcome." Keith Craig said with open arms.

"OK," Xiao Yao said to liv Palmer, turning to work immediately. "I'm going to visit my friend's crew tomorrow. We'll start recording the day after tomorrow. In a moment, I'll write out the score of the song for you first. You have a day and a half to get familiar with the score and practice. This afternoon, I'll do a good job in the music arrangement and soundtrack in the studio. You can practice with the accompaniment tomorrow. If you have any problems, I'll solve them the day after tomorrow when I record for you. Is that ok? "

"Of course." Liv Palmer nodded her head and then said, "wait a minute. You'll do the music this afternoon. Will you record it for me the day after tomorrow? You mean, you make the song yourself? "

"Of course, my songs, of course, I make them myself." Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"You or the producer? I can't believe it Liv Palmer covered her mouth and exclaimed. She is quite familiar with Xiao Yao's music works, especially English songs. She knows that he is a very talented creative musician who writes many popular singles, but her understanding of Xiao Yao is still limited to the reports in American media. In the United States, the kind of 20-year-old, very talented young creative musicians are not without, but only 20-year-old producers? In her impression, the United States seems to have none.

"Since it's your song and you make it yourself, how about giving you the song nevergrowup to make?" Keith Craig said, "you also said that the soundtrack of that song is mainly acoustic guitar. I think you play better than me on the wooden guitar. " Keith Craig has a much more comprehensive understanding of Xiao Yao. Besides, Xiao Yao once replaced him to complete the recording of dean's solo three years ago when he recorded "immortals". It's not surprising that Xiao Yao can be a producer."Hey, Keith," Xiao Yao said with a deliberate stare, "the copyright of nevergrowup has been sold to you! Copyright fee does not include production fee! "

"About money?" Keith Craig glared back and said, "you use my studio, and I didn't charge you for it, either!"

"Well, I'm wrong!" Xiao Yao raised his hand and said, "but I'm going to return to China in about five days. I'll play the soundtrack of" alone "this afternoon. I'll visit the crew tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, I'll start recording. After the recording, I'll finish shooting the MV of" alone "in the United States. I really don't have time to record another song for liv. I know that you are good friends with hill Blake, another mentor in the voice of America. You can find a friend of the country music master to help you with this ballad style song. "

"Since you don't have time, I'll let you go." Keith Craig smiles triumphantly.

"Is it time for us to leave now, so that you can write music and do soundtrack with ease?" Xiao Siqi reminded.

"Wait a minute, I have a few more questions." Keith Craig said, "young, you just said that I would contact an MV shooting team for you in advance, so you plan to start work in three days? Where is the shooting location? Need to contact actors? How many people do actors need? By the way, what do you mean by the part in the United States? Are you going to shoot anywhere else? " He also remembers this song shooting MV.

"I don't plan to shoot in other places, but I'm not the only one in the MV who shot in the United States. There will also be pictures from other places. As for how to do it, keep it secret for the time being, you will soon know." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I haven't decided where to shoot for the moment. I need an open mountain area, but it can't be too desolate. I need to see the town below from the top of the mountain. I will check it on the Internet in the evening. If you know a similar place, you are welcome to introduce it to me. In terms of actors, I may need about 30 people, but you don't have to worry about it. I'll solve it myself. "

"There are more than 30 actors in an MV, that's a big scene!" Keith Craig was surprised. "It's a lot of money just for actors. Are you sure you don't need my help?"

"No need," Xiao Yao said, shaking his head with a smile. "I'll find free actors."

"Thirty free actors in Los Angeles?" Keith Craig is unconvinced. "Even if you are very popular in America, I'm afraid it's hard to do it."

"I can, believe me!" Xiao Yao said confidently, "you just need to help me contact the shooting team and recommend the right shooting location for me. As for how I did it, you will see soon

"By the way, there is also the problem of clothing," Xiao Yao patted his head. "At that time, we have to inform them in advance to prepare unified clothing."

"Are you going to let the actors bring their own clothes?" Now it's not just Keith Craig, it's the rest of us who are speechless.

"Er ~ free shooting has already taken advantage of them. It seems that it's really unreasonable to let them prepare their own clothes," Xiao Yao scratched his head and said, "it's better for everyone to give them a piece of clothes as a souvenir."

Xiao Yao took out the phone, called Yin Xi and said, "sister Xi, I'm in Los Angeles now. To shoot a MV, I need about 30 black hooded sweaters and masks, which are the ones I wear in the MV of faded and singme to sleep. You are familiar with the fashion brands and clothing enterprises in the United States. Can you recommend a good and inexpensive one for me?"

"You are so busy! It's only a few days since the accident. I'm going to shoot another MV. " Yin Xi on the phone said with a smile, "that kind of clothes is what our own brand is doing. When do you want it? I'll send it to you directly by air if I have time! "

"If you want to shoot it, just shoot it." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "in three days."

"OK, I'll contact our freight forwarder and arrange for an emergency. We should be able to get to Los Angeles in three days." Yin Xi said with a smile. Yin Xi is an international supermodel, and Xiao Yao's popularity is not limited to Huaxia. When their brand was established, they were positioned as an international brand and had many foreign customers. Now they have established good cooperative relations with several international freight companies. It is not a problem to transport a batch of clothes from Huaxia to Los Angeles in three days.

"That's fine!" Xiao Yao nodded and said, "remember that my ys logo is printed on the back of the clothes, and that is to prepare some different models. According to the figure of young Americans, don't choose too small size."

"Don't worry, I know it." Yin Xi said with a smile, "when you shoot MV in the United States, Ken is looking for actors in the United States. Of course, the clothing size is based on the American figure. I'll take care of it myself, and I'll make arrangements for you. "

"The dress is done!" After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yao smiles, shakes the mobile phone in his hand, puts it away, takes the blank music score paper and pencil in the room, and says, "this is the way for MV for the time being. Now write the music score. Liv, give me ten minutes. "

"Ten minutes?" Liv Palmer stares.

"This is a song he wrote before. Ten minutes is not short." Xiao Siqi said with a smile, "he sometimes writes a new song on the spot, which may only take ten minutes.""I'll contact the shooting team of MV first and come back later." Keith Craig said hello and left the control room.

"On August 1, you write on the sofa. I'll see the equipment in Keith studio." Xiao Siqi commands Xiao Yaodao. Since Xiao Yao plans to record this song before returning to China, Xiao Siqi can definitely see the recording process of this song and hear the whole picture of the song, so the score is not good-looking. Shawski found some of the equipment in Keith Craig's studio that he had never seen before, and was obviously more interested in these things.

Xiao Siqi is not interested in Xiao Yao's music score writing because he has seen it many times before, but few other people have seen it. The three songs Xiao Yao gave to "immortals" were all direct music scores. Except that "immortals" was written by Xiao Yao in class, the other two songs were all direct finished products. They didn't know how Xiao Yao wrote them, so the members of "immortals" and liv Palmer didn't leave. Instead, they were staring at writing on paper with pencils It's Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao could feel the gaze of several people, but he didn't feel uncomfortable. In less than ten minutes, Xiao Yao handed the finished score to liv Palmer.

"It's less than ten minutes!" Liv Palmer took the paper from Xiao Yao in surprise. Although Xiao Yao said that this is his previous work, which can only be regarded as silent writing, there is no alteration in the lyrics of such a whole song. This memory alone has opened her eyes.

When Keith Craig comes back, Liv Palermo, who got the score, has gone to another practice room to get familiar with the lyrics of the score in order not to disturb Xiao Yao's music arrangement. Only Xiao Siqi and the members of "immortals" stay in the control room and watch Xiao Yao play the score.

"Mr. Sean, I heard that you are also a music producer. Are you helping him as a recorder? Why don't you sit down? " Keith Craig, who pushed the door in, saw Xiao Yao playing the piano in the studio. Shawski and SAMINE Smith were standing in front of the console wearing a monitor headset. The chair in front of the console was empty, so he could not help asking curiously.

"No, his songs, he made them himself, including recording." Seeing Keith coming in, Xiao Siqi, who took off the earphone in one ear, said with a smile and shaking his head, "I just listen to the soundtrack of his song in advance. The work of a sound recorder should be done by himself. After I sit down, I have to stand up from time to time to make room for him. It's too troublesome, so I don't sit down at all. "

"Yes? It seems that he doesn't need my help to be a recorder. " Keith Craig laughed and said to SAMINE Smith, "can you listen to me?"

There's a difference between a sound recorder and a producer. Although Xiao Yao said that he would make the song himself, he didn't say that he didn't need a recorder when recording, especially when he was recording accompaniment. Although he knew that shawski was also a producer and a sound recorder, Keith Craig worried that shawski was not familiar with the equipment in his shed, so he rushed back. But looking at this situation, Xiao Yao even did the recording work himself, and Keith Craig simply learned from Xiao Siqi and just listened to everything.

Keith Craig is not only the boss of "immortals", but also a teacher and senior. Naturally, his musical attainments are not comparable to those of these young people, so as soon as Keith Craig signals, SAMINE Smith immediately takes off the earphone on his head and hands it over. Keith Craig put on his headphones and after a while, his whole body began to move with the music.

Xiao Yao's efficiency has always been very high. He said that he would arrange music in the afternoon and finish it all before dinner. After coming out of the studio and meeting Betty Bailette and Ye Jiaying, they had a big dinner together.

During the dinner, Keith Craig, who is also very efficient, tells Xiao Yao that the shooting team has basically finished and can definitely start work in three days. At the same time, he recommends Xiao Yao a shooting location that meets his requirements. The shooting location is in a small town not far from Los Angeles. Xiao Yao was very satisfied with the location pictures provided by Keith Craig and decided the shooting location.

After dinner, Xiao Yao declined the invitation of Craig and his wife to take them on a night tour in Los Angeles. He said that he would be busy recruiting MV actors and let them take their parents to play. He went back to the hotel alone.

The MVS of "faded" and "sing me to sleep" are basically based on the number of MVS of Alan Walker's previous life, but they are not exactly the same. One of the biggest characteristics of Xiao Yao is that he adds a lot of Parkour actions to the running actions of the protagonist. Xiao Yao also plans to modify some running scenes and add Parkour actions on the basis of the original version.

As an exchange student in the United States, Xiao Yao met a team playing Parkour in Los Angeles and played with them several times. People in their team know that Xiao Yao is one of the members of Parkour founder team yrf. When Xiao Yao's MV wants to find actors, the first thing he thinks of is this Los Angeles Parkour team. With their own position in their minds, I believe they will not miss such an opportunity to shoot MV with their idols. It should not be a problem for them to play for free.After returning to the hotel room, Xiao Yao immediately called the Parkour leader Nathan Donal and invited him and his Parkour team to participate in his own MV.

After receiving Xiao Yao's call, Nathan Donal seemed very excited and immediately agreed to invite him to participate in the MV. However, he can only represent himself. As for the other members of the team, although they are very willing, it is not certain that they can take time to shoot MV in a small town outside Los Angeles three days later because many of them have jobs. He needs to inform you of the news and listen to your reply.

Xiao Yao also understood this, so he handed the matter to Nathan Donal, who was responsible for counting the number of people who could participate in the performance. At that time, he organized everyone to gather at the designated place and set out together.

Nathan Donal's team has more than a dozen people, even if all of them come, they can't meet the number of actors required for this MV, so Xiao Yao doesn't put all his hopes on this team. They are just the largest number of personnel he expected. Xiao Yao has to solve the remaining personnel gap through other ways.
