Chapter 733

Nathan Donal's Parkour team has more than a dozen people. Xiao Yao estimates that he can get more than half of them anyway. In fact, the gap between the actors is just a dozen or twenty. Xiao Yao is quite confident in recruiting more than ten or twenty actors with a video released under the yrf account. The shooting of MV took place three days later, and Xiao Yao didn't want to make a decision too early. He planned to ferment the video for two days, and then check the email to select the person the day before the shooting. So after uploading and publishing the video, Xiao Yao didn't open the mailbox to wait for the email or watch the comments of netizens on the PV. Instead, he took out a pen and paper and began to draw the split shot script in the MV and designed the picture The composition of the lens.

"Alone" is less than three minutes long. Although there are many scenes, Xiao Yao gave some of them to netizens outside the United States and Los Angeles to play freely. In fact, there are not many scenes and scenes he needs to shoot. In addition, there are original MVs of previous lives in his mind for reference, so Xiao Yao finished the script of shooting in one night.

The shooting team is in charge of Keith Craig. The recruitment of actors is in progress, the costumes are on the way, the script is in the mind, the music has been arranged, and the recording is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Xiao Yao, who has finished the split shot script, puts down the things related to "alone" for the time being and goes to sleep peacefully. According to the plan, I will visit Zhou Jingyi's drama group tomorrow.

Generally speaking, the crew's visiting duty is to contact the visiting staff directly after the visiting time. At most, when they are blocked by the external security personnel, they contact the staff inside to come out and pick them up. However, Xiao Yao and Ye Jiaying are Chinese, and they are going to visit the crew in the United States. Worried that they might not find a place, Zhou Jingyi came to the hotel where Xiao Yao and his party stayed before she went to the set to shoot, and was ready to take them.

Yesterday, when Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao went to the studio of "daydream", Ye Jiaying was pulled to go shopping by Betty bellette. Today, Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao's mother and son went to the production group, and Xiao Siqi didn't plan to go with them. Xiao Siqi was more interested in the recording equipment he saw in the studio of daydream yesterday. He had a good time with Keith Craig, an American musician, yesterday. When he left, he made an appointment with Keith Craig. Today, he will continue to go to the studio of his band to see if there is any possibility of cooperation between them.

Ye Jiaying's interest in film and television, Xiao Siqi's interest in music. Xiao Yao and Ye Jiaying did not force Xiao Siqi to go with them, so Zhou Jingyi only took Ye Jiaying, Xiao Yao, Fang still and Pei Minyi to set out.

Today's filming plans of Zhou Jingyi's crew are all carried out in the shed, without location. When Zhou Jingyi and Xiao Yao entered the set, although not all the actors had arrived, the staff behind the scenes had already arrived, and the scene was preparing for the shooting. What's rare is that besides the director, the producer was also on the scene.

Seeing that the director and the producer were there, Zhou Jingyi took Xiao Yao and four of them to help them make an introduction.

"Hello, Mr. mcgrove, Mr. stim!" Ye Jiaying, Xiao Yao and others are the first time to see the American drama crew, and the producers and directors of the drama are also the first time to see them. They are all polite.

"Hello Director Steve mcgrove shook hands with several people politely.

"Welcome, welcome!" Producer Douglas stim was quite enthusiastic.

"I heard about the case a few days ago. I'm glad you're safe!" After saying hello, glass stim meets Xiao Yao alone.

"Thank you for your concern!" Xiao Yao smiles and nods his thanks.

Generally speaking, if a major actor wants to bring people into the Troupe or even visit the troupe, there will be no problem, but he also needs to say hello to the person in charge of the troupe in advance. Zhou Jingyi, of course, said hello to the producer and director in advance, and only when she got the approval would she bring Xiao Yao and others. Both producers and directors know that Zhou Jingyi will bring people to the cast today, but this is not the reason why the producers appear on the scene today and show such enthusiasm. He is here today because he knows that the person Zhou Jingyi brings with him today is Xiao Yao.

"I know that you are a very talented musician, a member of the band" immortals ", and that" immortals "is your work." So I was thinking, is it possible for you to write an original song for our show

"Ha? You asked me to write songs for your show? " Xiao Yao accidentally pointed to his nose and confirmed.

"Yes Grass stim nodded with a smile.

If it's just an ordinary Chinese star, grass stim certainly has no interest. But Xiao Yao is not an ordinary Chinese star in his eyes.

Xiao Yao appeared on the stage of the Oscar several years ago as a member of the "instant" band. Last year, he used a song and a video to make the stock price of American Airlines plummet and make a public apology. At present, several songs have been released in the United States and have achieved good results on the bulletin board. Recently, two cases have become the focus of public opinion in the United States.Although Xiao Yao did not develop in the United States, his name is absolutely familiar to Americans. If you can cooperate with him at this time and ask him to write an episode or soundtrack for the drama, as long as you release the wind in advance, it will definitely be a very good stimulation for the audience rating of the drama.

Most of the Chinese TV dramas are shot in one breath, and the TV stations broadcast them slowly. No matter whether they are good-looking or not, the audience will not be cut in the middle of the way. However, there are few American TV dramas that are broadcast slowly after they are all shot. Most of the dramas are broadcast while shooting. Generally, the shooting and post production time is only one or two weeks earlier than the broadcast time. It's a bit like a variety show in China, but in terms of purpose, American TV series and Chinese variety show are totally different.

Most American dramas adopt the form of "shooting while broadcasting" because the competition among American TV stations is too fierce. They do this so that the producers can flexibly adjust the plot trend and even the arrangement of characters according to the audience's reactions and comments, so as to meet the audience's preferences and strive for a good rating. If the audience rating is too poor, it may be hasty ending, or even not ending, directly "sudden death", and then open a new play.

"But your series is already on the air, and the theme song is already there," Xiao Yao said. "There is no big turning point and progress in the trend of the plot. It's impossible to change the title and theme song halfway, right? If you're writing an episode, aren't you still shooting this episode? Do you want me to watch the play and write the episode? "

It is not uncommon to change titles and theme songs between seasons in American TV series, but it is rare to change titles and theme songs in season. Even if there is, it will only happen when the middle story has a big turn and progress, and the story enters a new stage. Before Xiao Yuan came, he also watched the part that had been broadcasted in front of Zhou Jingyi's American play. The plot of the play is obviously not suitable for changing the title and theme song.

"It seems that you know a lot about American dramas," laughs glass stim, "but you don't know all about the production of our series. Our series is broadcasted every Friday night. Now we are shooting the episode to be broadcasted next Friday. We have finished shooting the episode of this Friday and are now in post production. If you like, you can look at the material we edited to create

The time difference between shooting and broadcasting is nearly two weeks. It takes one week for shooting and one week for post production. If Xiao Yao could be involved in the post production of the episode that aired on Friday, before Xiao Yao's popularity dissipated, glass slim's goal would be achieved.

"This ~" Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "although I'm a music composer, I'm not a professional post sounder of film and television. The song" immortals "was selected by the sounder of that animated film after I created it, and I didn't write it specifically for that film. I think I need to see the footage of your episode to make a decision. I can't guarantee that I can write an episode suitable for the plot, but I'm willing to give it a try. "

Xiao Yao is still more interested in this matter, but after all, the songs and music in his mind are limited, and he hasn't finished speaking before he can see the video materials.

"Do you want someone to take you to the post production department now?" Glass stim asked Shaw.

"No," said Xiao Yao, shaking his head. "The soundtrack in the later stage can't be done by the soundman just looking at the video material. The soundman serves the director and needs to understand the director's intention. I think I need to communicate with the director and other sounders. So we'll talk about post production after your shooting today. "

Since it's the edited material, the length is about 40 minutes, and it doesn't take an hour to see it again. Whether there is suitable music or not, Xiao Yao can think of it very quickly. He doesn't need to watch the material in advance to think about it.

"Well, I'm looking forward to our cooperation!" Director Steve mcgrove extended his hand to Xiao Yao again.

Because of the huge topic at present, there are many job offers for Xiao Yao in the United States. Glass stim has heard some rumors, but Xiao Yao can still come here to visit Zhou Jingyi, which means that Xiao Yao has not agreed to any job offer. Therefore, when it comes to Xiao Yao's later music, glass stim doesn't tell Zhou Jingyi or Xiao Yao in advance. Instead, he will wait until he meets Xiao Yao. The success rate should be higher. But if you don't tell Zhou Jingyi or Xiao Yao in advance, you have to tell the director in advance, so Steve mcgrove knows what grass stim is going to do.

As a matter of fact, there is a soundman in the crew who is responsible for the later music. This is a whole behind the scenes team. The director doesn't want to change or join new people. But the TV market in the United States has the final say in ratings. If the ratings are not enough, the project will be suspended at any time. The director knew that the producer's decision was for the audience rating, and he had heard some music works of Xiao Yao, and he was quite satisfied with his level of music creation, so he reluctantly agreed with the producer's decision. Now I see Xiao Yao's attitude is more modest, and I respect him very much as a director. I feel much better about him and his tone is much more kind."Cooperation?" Zhou Jingyi moved in her heart and said, "I have an idea..."

Zhou Jingyi has been an actress for several years. Now she naturally understands the purpose of the producer and director. The producers and directors want to increase the audience rating of the show with the help of Xiao Yao's topic degree, but this kind of cooperation has no negative impact on Xiao Yao. On the contrary, it will further increase Xiao Yao's popularity in the United States, which is actually a win-win situation of mutual benefit. Since it is a win-win situation, why not go further? So Zhou Jingyi wanted to make suggestions to the producer and director, but before she finished, she was interrupted by a voice.

"Hi, Kim, you're so early! Hi, Steve! Wow, glass is here, too! Is this a special day? Huh? Who are these people? "

Xiao Yao and others turned to see, found a height of one meter nine, strong young man came.

"Hi, Vince!" Zhou Jingyi said hello to the young man and introduced Xiao Yao and the young man to each other.

"Hello, Mr. ward!" Xiao Yao and others greet the young man one after another.

Although he doesn't know the young man in front of him, Xiao Yao has seen the drama on air. Even if Zhou Jingyi doesn't introduce him, Xiao Yao knows that he is one of the main actors in the drama.

"Are you the Chinese star who ran out of the kidnappers? I'm very interested in your business Vince Ward said hello to the crowd and said to Xiao Yao with a smile.

"I didn't expect that you could meet this recently famous Chinese star." After greeting, ward stepped back and stood beside Zhou Jingyi, habitually stretching out an arm to take Zhou Jingyi's shoulder.

"I knew him years ago." Zhou Jingyi responded, took a step forward, turned to Steve mcgrove and glass Tim, and continued: "I have an idea. In fact, Yang is still an actor. I wonder if we can add a role to him in this episode and make him a special guest in this episode? "

The special guests mentioned by Zhou Jingyi can also be regarded as guest performances, but they are not just playing a mass role of dragon style. At least there will be close-up shots, which will be the focus of the audience's attention for a certain period of time. This kind of person usually needs to design special characters, but the director and screenwriter of the show are Steve mcgrove, and producer glass stim happens to be there. As long as they agree, they can invite Xiao Yao to be a special guest and design a role for him temporarily.

"Really?" Steve mcgrove and glass Tim looked at each other and nodded, "that's a good idea!"

"Yang, would you like to play?" Zhou Jingyi turns to ask Xiao Yao again. Xiao Yao's character is better understood. Instead of trying, she uses the word "play", which has both "play" and "play".

"I'd like to play if the character is interesting enough, of course." Xiao Yao said, "also, I only have one day, not a week. If you can guarantee that my part will be finished today, I will promise to play."

"It's not a big problem," director Steve mcgrove thought for a moment, then nodded. "Can you tell me what you're better at? Action play or emotional play? I need to identify your role type first. "

"Action drama." Xiao Yaodao. It's not that he doesn't have confidence in his own literary drama, but that this drama belongs to the action category. As a guest of just one episode, it's still that the martial arts drama is more brilliant and can give the audience a deeper impression.

"Yang is very skillful!" Zhou Jingyi is on the other side.

"Yes? How powerful is it? " Vince ward touched the stubble on his chin. "Can you show me?"
