Entertaining Children

  Chapter 1082 Song Recording

  In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Yao and He Ying met in a slightly remote but distinctive coffee shop in Yanjing. After a brief greeting, the two chatted about their current situation. Speaking of recent developments, naturally I also talked about movie projects.

"Xiao Yao, I told you on the phone yesterday," He Ying asked, "I have read the script. It is a good script and a good story, but there is no role suitable for me in it. You won't really be short of money. , Do you want me to invest in you?"

  He Ying debuted for many years and established her own studio almost ten years ago. In the past ten years, He Ying's studio has also cooperated with other film and television companies to invest in some film and television works. Although almost all of these film and television works are starred by He Ying herself, it is not impossible that only investment is not performed.

   "I don't want your money, but I want to give you money!" Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled, "I want you to appear in this movie!"

   "I've said it all, the characters inside..." He Ying smiled bitterly.

   "Is there really nothing suitable for you?" Xiao Yao said, "I don't think so!"

   "Then which role do you want me to play?" He Ying opened her mind and smiled, "Isn't it because you want me to play a male role?"

   "Bronzesmith wife!" Xiao Yao said.

   "Huh?" He Ying was surprised, "I play this role?"

  "Don't you find it challenging?" Xiao Yao smiled.

   "It's very challenging, but it's not suitable for me!" He Ying said, "I can't imagine what it would be like to play that role!"

   "I can, and I can help you imagine it!" Xiao Yao took out a photo from his bag and handed it to He Ying, "Look at this!"

  "This is?" He Ying took the photo and took a look, and said strangely.

  "You can use it as a makeup photo for the role of the coppersmith's wife!" Xiao Yao laughed.

  "Fitting the makeup photo?" He Ying puzzled, "Even the character makeup photo was taken, isn't there already an actor? Are you still looking for me to play this role?"

   "I said you can use it as a set-up photo, but I didn't say that it is really a set-up photo," Xiao Yao said, "Let's take a closer look!"

  He Ying did not take a closer look after taking the photo, and after hearing the words, she carefully examined it, and suddenly she felt a little familiar.

   "This, why does it look familiar?" He Ying asked.

  "I found a photo of you from the Internet and then used it to retouch the picture!" Xiao Yao smiled, "This is you originally, of course I look familiar!"

   "Is this me?" He Ying was startled and almost threw the photo in her hand.

  This picture shows a woman with dark complexion, some potholes on her face, and an ugly appearance, which is much uglier than the role He Ying imagined after reading the script.

   "I look like this in your heart?" He Ying said a little angry and funny.

"It's not that you look like this in my heart," Xiao Yao corrected, "but this character looks like this in my heart. I will solve the problem of appearance. As for the difference between the character and your own personality, I believe you The ability of this professional actor."

"Sister He Ying," Xiao Yao continued, "I have seen almost all of your works. No matter what the character, even the villain, they are all kind of well-educated intellectual characters. And when I come into contact with you, I have I think you are a very good tutor, a very educated and temperament goddess-level figure. But at the same time I am also a little curious, that is, you have lived for more than 30 years, have you ever had a fight with others?"

   "Of course I did fights when I was young!" He Ying smiled, "When I was studying, I had fights with boys in order to give my classmates a chance, but when I grew up, I didn't have any."

"Well, you are still a cool person with a sense of justice." Xiao Yao nodded and asked again, "Then have you ever scolded people unscrupulously and happily? Especially that kind of language is very vulgar, It feels particularly rude, have you experienced it?"

   "This~" He Ying smiled bitterly, "Not really!"

   "In fact, it feels very refreshing, there is a special pleasure, don't you want to experience it?" Xiao Yao pointed to the photo in her hand, "Now is a rare opportunity!"

   "Hmm~" He Ying began to hesitate.

"We are all people with a good family environment since we were young, and at the same time we are quite good at ourselves." Xiao Yao continued, "I guess you are the same as me. Isn't being an actor, at least not just for being famous to make a lot of money? Why do we become actors? Let’s not say for the sake of art. Anyway, I just want to experience a different life through the role! This kind of thing that you would never do in real life, you don’t want to pass this role and try it in the movie? "

  "I want to ask, besides Sun Tingting, who else are there actors in this movie? Will you play the role yourself?" He Ying asked.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "At present, only Sun Tingting will play Zhang Yiman and I will play the coppersmith. If you agree, this movie will have three actors. The other actors have not been finalized yet. But this movie is my own investment, and I can assure you that it will definitely be an actor who can act!"

  "Are you acting as a coppersmith?" He Ying asked in surprise.

   "Hmm!" Xiao Yao nodded.

   "You are so sweet in reality, you are playing together, and you spread dog food everywhere when you have the opportunity, but in the play you want to hurt each other so much." He Ying shook her head.

  She did not think of the intimate scene in the script, but thought of the abuse of each other after the two turned against each other in the scene.

"So I said, this is the fun of being an actor!" Xiao Yao said, "In real life, it is impossible for Sun Tingting and I to speak such vicious language to each other. Only in the play, we are not us, but This situation can happen when someone else is!"

   "It seems to be this, I should try it all!" He Ying smiled.

   "Then you agreed to take over this role?" Xiao Yao said with joy.

   "When is it expected to turn on?" He Ying said, "Although this character does not have many scenes, it is still quite difficult for me. I need to prepare well!"

"At least there are still more than two months." Xiao Yao said, "Sun Tingting also needs a long time to prepare for the role of Zhang Yiman. She went to teach in the countryside to experience the role, and after coming back, she will have some time with her parents. Study and training. She asked me to give her at least three months to prepare, and now only half a month has passed. I am still in the stage of selecting the crew and actors for the primary selection, and I have to choose and set up the scene later. It will take more than two months!"

   "More than two months, it should be enough!" He Ying nodded, "Well, I'm next to this role!"

  "Explain in advance," Xiao Yao said, "the location of this film has not been determined yet, but it should be in a relatively remote place in northwest Shanxi. The conditions may be a bit more difficult!"

   "It doesn't matter," He Ying said, "I can accept it!"

   "Then let's talk about it?" Xiao Yao said, "In terms of salary, I will let people from the company talk to your agent! Let's follow the market!"

  With Xiao Yao and He Ying’s good relationship, there shouldn’t be too much problem with film remuneration.

   "There should be no problem in this respect." He Ying said, "This role does not have many scenes, and we will definitely not ask for more. I will give you a friendly price."

   "Okay," Xiao Yao smiled and stretched out his hand, "I hope we can cooperate happily!"

  "Happy cooperation!" He Ying stretched out her hand and shook Xiao Yao, then took the photo and said, "I have another request, can you give me this photo?"

   "Of course!" Xiao Yao smiled, "Do you want to face her every day, looking for the feeling of a role?"

"It's not about looking for her to feel like a role every day, but for her to find a role!" He Ying said, "I'm going to observe life in the vegetable market on the street, and learn how to curse and quarrel! This image is quite good, completely. I can’t see that it’s me. I’m going to find a makeup artist to apply makeup to me in this way, so I will go out to observe in this way."

   "Well, good idea!" Xiao Yao smiled with a thumbs up.

  After talking to He Ying, Xiao Yao also notified the casting company to cancel the casting of the coppersmith’s wife.

  Film casting, Xiao Yao was handed over to the casting company. If you have identified a role as an actor, naturally you have to notify the casting company to avoid doing useless work. The cooperation agreement between Xiao Yao and the casting company is to require the casting company to help him complete the primaries for all the roles in the movie, and the remuneration is not calculated according to the number of characters. Xiao Yao himself determined a role that would not reduce the revenue of the casting company, but also saved them the workload, so they have no opinion.

  It was a whim for Xiao Yao to find He Ying to play the role, and he did not intend to choose all the actors by himself.

After the broadcast of   The group show, he noticed that Xiao Yao was not the only person in the circle preparing for the new movie project, He Ying. After He Ying, Xiao Yao and Fang still received several calls inquiring about the casting of film projects, either for themselves, or for their friends and artists in the circle.

Since there was no actor like He Ying who made Xiao Yao playful and wanted to be determined very much, Xiao Yao replied that the casting company was responsible for the casting of the other party and sent him to the casting company to participate in the casting. The company's primaries are gone.

  Xiao Yao gave the casting company a month of primaries, and now only a little more than a week has passed. In the rest of the time, Xiao Yao didn't want to bother about casting for the time being, so he naturally returned to the trajectory of his previous life and work.

  In this month, Xiao Yao’s main job was the women’s team. Xiao Yao asked for the women’s team members’ itinerary for this month, because Xiao Yao is not only available for group training where all the girls come together every week, but also when individual women’s team members practice. To go.

In the previous week, because Xiao Yao was going to be a guest on the crew, and he knew that some of his behaviors on the day he went to be a guest after the broadcast of the group’s comprehensive show would be exposed, he did not go to Hangzhou to give guidance to individual group members. He left it for the second time. The training of the members only appeared.

  The situation this week is different from last week. The tricks to conceal the girls have been exposed. After He Ying’s affairs are dealt with, Xiao Yao is ready to stay permanently in Hangzhou.

  After a week of practice, the girls' performance in that song is somewhat different, and everyone's personal shortcomings are also exposed. Xiao Yao can better provide targeted guidance to individual members. In addition, Xiao Yao also promised Ai Jun to help her make up lessons in the program. In addition to instructing the girls to sing and dance, Xiao Yao can occasionally live the addiction of being a tuition teacher.

  In addition to the eleven "temporary students" of the 101st women's team, Xiao Yao also has a genuine student, Tang Jingjing.

  In the past few years, Xiao Yao, who is also a student, has not taken many lessons to Tang Jingjing seriously. Basically, he only works in the studio and when Tang Jingjing happens to be free, let Tang Jingjing come to the studio to watch and study, and give guidance by the way.

  Tang Jingjing is already a seventeen-year-old girl, and her behavioral and self-care skills have improved a lot. Now it’s the summer vacation and she is naturally more free. This little girl has become obsessed with dancing recently. She heard that Xiao Yao was in Hangzhou to instruct the 101 women's team and she also found Hangzhou.

  Xiao Yao accepted Tang Jingjing as a student, mainly because of her singing potential. Basically, she taught music knowledge and singing skills. However, Xiao Yao didn't object to Tang Jingjing dancing, but he didn't have the time and energy to teach it. Some of the 101 women's groups have good dance skills. Tang Jingjing is coming to Hangzhou, and she can play and learn with some girls with good dance skills, such as Wei Yunjing. Xiao Yao has no objection.

  If there is a word, it is long, and if there is no word, it is short. A few days later, it was time for the third women's team practice class for all members.

Since Xiao Yao practiced and instructed the women’s team members individually this week, he knew better about their progress and performance, and the performance and improvement of the women’s team members were better than those of the previous week, so this time all members of the training It didn't start in the practice room, but took everyone to the studio to record.

  The official version of this song was recorded in Hangzhou. It took up time for group practice classes. The recording studio was naturally provided by Haiyan Entertainment to Xiao Yao.

   Xiao Yao discussed with Haiyan to personally produce the official version of the song, but he did not do all the work during the recording alone. Xiao Yao is competent for all the tasks in the recording studio. It is not because he has obsessive-compulsive disorder and likes to run between the recording room and the operation room, but just because he is lazy and troublesome.

  When working in his own recording studio, Xiao Yao needs to ask the band for a recording engineer. Xiao Yao found it bothersome and felt that it would be better to hire someone on his own. That’s why he produced the double-CD album with almost all the behind-the-scenes production staff’s name. When cooperating with others, if the other party is willing to provide Xiao Yao with recording studio staff to help him complete the recording work, Xiao Yao will of course adopt all of them based on the principle of no need for nothing.

  This song was written for the girl group of Haiyan Entertainment. Haiyan Entertainment not only provided Xiao Yao with a recording studio, but also provided recording engineers and assistants to cooperate with him. Xiao Yao also took all the orders.

The arrangement and soundtrack of this song is already done by Xiao Yao. You only need to record the human voice tracks of the girl group members. With the help of a recording engineer, Xiao Yao only needs to pay attention to the singing of the girl group members in the recording room , Give guidance, the work is relatively easy.

  This girl group has been debuting for more than a year, and its business has basically improved. This song has been practiced for two weeks. The singing performance of the girl group members is relatively mature, so the recording of the entire song did not take too long. Less than time for a practice class, Xiao Yao has already finished recording the song. Putting the post-modification work behind, Xiao Yao still has time to take them back to the practice room to practice dancing for a while.
