Entertaining Children

   Chapter 1094 No Plan to Participate

  After arriving at Temple Street, Xiao Yao was still in high spirits. He bought snacks at the roadside stalls and bargained with the stall owners to buy some gadgets and had a great time. After visiting Temple Street, the two ate dinner in a restaurant on Temple Street. After eating, Xiao Yao took Yang Shiyun for a walk in the streets of Yau Ma Tei.

  Because Xiao Yao’s work and rest schedules were very regular when he was instructing them on the program last year, they were also forbidden to stay up late. Yang Shiyun just thought that Xiao Yao’s living habits were very good, and walking after meals was just his lifestyle. In fact, Xiao Yao was walking on the streets of Yau Ma Tei for two consecutive days to see if there were any young and Dangerous boys in the streets. Of course, Xiao Yao would definitely not tell Yang Shiyun about such a silly behavior, and Yang Shiyun could not think of it anyway.

   But unfortunately, Xiao Yao failed in two days. The uniformed police officers patrolling the road had seen them, but the young and Dangerous boy had never seen them.

  Temple Street came again because I didn’t finish shopping yesterday. Other places like Causeway Bay, Wanchai, Central and Lan Kwai Fong visited yesterday. Xiao Yao is not interested in going again. So after strolling around in Yau Ma Tei, Xiao Yao asked Yang Shiyun to send him back to the hotel.

When    left, Xiao Yao just told Yang Shiyun that the arrangement and soundtrack for "Wedding Invitation Street" had been prepared, so that she could get familiar with it again at night and prepare to record tomorrow. As for writing another song for Yang Shiyun in two different languages, Xiao Yao didn't tell her, and planned to surprise her again tomorrow.

  The next morning, Xiao Yao, who returned to his room, hadn't waited for Yang Shiyun, who came to pick him up to YH company, but waited for an employee from his studio.

  The conditions and requirements that Xiao Yao cares about have already been mentioned to Xu Wenxiang, and Xu Wenxiang has also agreed. In fact, there is not much room for negotiation in the contract. However, it is a formal contract text after all. Xiao Yao couldn't just sign it without looking at it. He didn't want to spend time looking at the terms of the contract one by one, so he asked a company professional to help him read it. Yesterday Xiao Yao still called Fang to sell the song to YH Company. This is obviously the person Fang still sent to help him negotiate the contract.

  After giving a brief explanation to the staff, Xiao Yao saw that Yang Shiyun hadn’t come, so he called Xu Wenxiang. After learning that Xu Wenxiang had arrived at the company, Xiao Yao didn't wait for Yang Shiyun to pick him up. He sent her a message and told her to go directly to the company, and took the studio employees to the YH company by taxi.

  Arrived at YH company and explained his intention to the receptionist. Xu Wenxiang, who had received a call from Xiao Yao before, quickly greeted him with a smile.

   After a brief greeting, Xiao Yao introduced the employees around him to Xu Wenxiang, and the next step was to discuss the contract and sign the contract.

  Xiao Yao handed over the contract matters to the employees of the studio, and did not intend to participate in it. At this time, Yang Shiyun hadn't come, and Xu Wenxiang wanted to personally participate in the contract negotiation. Xiao Yao asked Xu Wenxiang to send someone to take him to the recording studio that he used yesterday to continue producing the soundtrack for the second song he wrote yesterday.

  When Xiao Yao just finished the soundtrack for the second song, the door of the studio control room was knocked and then gently pushed open.

  "Senior?" A head came in outside the door, and it was Yang Shiyun.

  When she saw Xiao Yao stand up from the chair and turned to look at her, Yang Shiyun screamed, opened the door and rushed in and gave Xiao Yao a big hug. From her excited look, Xiao Yao guessed that she should have known from Xu Wenxiang that he had written another song for her. Because after Yang Shiyun rushed in, Xiao Yao saw Xu Wenxiang and the employee who was in charge of negotiating the contract with his studio also followed.

  "That's it!" Xu Wenxiang smiled and pulled Yang Shiyun a hand, "Let your seniors finish the business first!"

"Boss, the contract has been negotiated, do you want to take a look!" After Yang Shiyun let go of Xiao Yao embarrassedly, the employee in Xiao Yao's studio who was in charge of contract negotiation stepped forward and handed over the two contracts in his hand. .

  Ordinary employees in the studio are no more like still, after agreeing on the content of the contract, Xiao Yao has to confirm and sign.

   "No problem!" Xiao Yao took the contract and flipped through it. After looking at several places he cared about, he signed the contract with satisfaction.

"Li Zhi, I asked you to come to Hong Kong Island for a business trip temporarily. It's hard work!" Xiao Yao handed back the signed contract, "I have nothing else to do. If you don't have other important tasks in your hands, don't worry. Hurry back today. It's rare to come to Hong Kong Island once, just spend a day on Hong Kong Island, and then go back tomorrow, the boarding and lodging company will reimburse you, so I still say that I said it!"

   "Thank you boss!" The employee named Li Zhi immediately agreed with a smile. After receiving the signed contract signed by Xiao Yao, he gave one of them to Xu Wenxiang, who carefully put the other in his briefcase, and left.

"Senior, Mr. Xu said that you wrote me another song yesterday, and you also wrote the lyrics in Cantonese and English. Let me see what it looks like!" Seeing Xiao Yao's studio employees leave After leaving, Yang Shiyun couldn't wait to say to Xiao Yao.

"What's the rush," Xiao Yao laughed, "The soundtracks for the two songs are already done, it's all yours, you can't run. You first record "Wedding Street", "Wedding Street" is not recorded, I won't I will show you another song, so that you don’t think too much in your mind and affect your state of recording."

"I finished the soundtrack for the second song so soon?" Xu Wenxiang raised a contract in Yang's hand and said with a smile, "It seems that you asked someone to negotiate the contract for you to save time to be yourself. Thing."

   "If you hire someone, you need to use it!" Xiao Yao smiled, "Otherwise, open the studio and invite someone to do it!"

   "Senior," Yang Shiyun pouted, "If you don't show it to me, I've been thinking about what another song is like. Don't I think too much and affect the state of recording?"

   "That's why I didn't tell you last night!" Xiao Yao said.

   "No wonder you kept hiding from her!" Xu Wenxiang smiled, "I just met Ah Yun after talking about the contract, so I couldn't help telling her, it seems I was talking too much!"

"It's okay, then treat her as a test." Xiao Yao smiled, "Anyway, before the previous song is recorded, I won't show her what the second song is like. Just exercise. Let’s talk about her anti-interference ability and train her to concentrate when something is wrong in her mind."

  "How are you doing in "Wedding Invitation Street"?" Xiao Yao turned to Yang Shiyun and said, "If possible, I will listen to you a few times to get familiar with the accompaniment, and then we will start recording."

   "No problem!" Yang Shiyun confidently made an OK gesture.

   "Okay," Xiao Yao handed Yang Shiyun a headphone, and put on her a good accompaniment.

  Yang Shiyun first listened to it completely, and then hummed a few times while listening, then screamed, and walked into the recording room confidently.

  Yesterday afternoon, Xu Wenxiang witnessed Xiao Yao’s ability to arrange music and write songs on site. Now, Xu Wenxiang has personally seen Xiao Yao's ability to direct a singer's recording.

  Whether it is to dig out the details at the beginning of the audition, or to catch faults in the whole song, Xiao Yao can accurately find out the places that Yang Shiyun did not do well in the singing process, and give effective guidance. As far as song recording is concerned, Xu Wenxiang feels that Xiao Yao can win the best album producer award in the Mainland at a young age. It is indeed well-deserved!

Yang Shiyun was one of the vocal roles recognized by netizens in the women’s group audition show last year. She has a very good singing skills. In addition, she got the lyrics and music of "Wedding Invitation Street" yesterday morning, and she has practiced for most of the day plus one night. The familiarity is also very high, so the whole recording process is relatively smooth.

  At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, Yang Shiyun's vocal singing was all recorded. The rest is some post-production tuning and adjustment work.

In the later period, it was his own work. There was nothing to do with Yang Shiyun. Xiao Yao also gave the lyrics of another song and the two versions of the Cantonese version called "Round" and the English version called "WonderfulU" to Yang, who could not wait for a long time. Poetry rhyme. Since the arrangement and soundtrack of this song have also been completed, Xiao Yao also gave Yang Shiyun the finished accompaniment so that she could practice with the accompaniment.

  Although everything was given to Yang Shiyun, Xiao Yao did not plan to continue recording these other two songs today. I'm going to give Yang Shiyun half a day and one night to practice and get familiar with it, and I will record two other songs tomorrow. Anyway, Xiao Yao's holiday is still there, and Xiao Yao will record it for her tomorrow. Yang Shiyun and Xu Wenxiang naturally have no opinion on this arrangement.

  Yang Shiyun took the lyrics, scores and accompaniment to find the practice room to practice songs, Xiao Yao stayed in the studio and continued to do the later stage of "Wedding Invitation Street". Due to Yang Shiyun's good singing skills, she doesn't need too much tones in the later stage, and the workload in this later stage is not very large. In about half an hour, Xiao Yao was done.

   "Mr. Xu, the overall feeling is okay?" After all the songs were produced, Xiao Yao listened to Xu Wenxiang on the side and asked the other side's opinion very modestly.

   "Very good!" Xu Wenxiang nodded, "I think if I make it myself, it should be about this level!"

   "Thank you for the compliment!" Xiao Yao nodded in his compliment, then stood up and said, "Tomorrow I will come over to record two other songs, and I will be here today, then I will leave!"

  It was only three o'clock in the afternoon at this time, and it was far before dinner. Xiao Yao didn't plan to stay in YH company and wait until after dinner.

   "Wait," Xu Wenxiang stopped Xiao Yao and said, "Are you leaving now? Any other arrangements?"

   "No plan," Xiao Yao shook his head, "Shi Yun is practicing singing, I don't intend to disturb her today. I am going to go out by myself!"

"Mandy said yesterday that she would invite you to dinner." Xu Wenxiang said, "She also specifically asked me today, saying that we are going to record at noon. She can't bother you. If you're fine tonight, she invites you to dinner. , Of course there will still be me and Ah Yun together."

   "Ms. Chen is too polite!" Xiao Yao smiled.

   "Ms. Chen?" Xu Wenxiang frowned and muttered in his heart, "Xiao Yao called Sister Mandy when he left yesterday. Does he have any opinion on Mandy?"

"You're welcome," Xu Wenxiang still said, "You are a guest from afar, and you are our partner. You are politely invited to have a meal. Of course, the lunch box lunch is definitely not counted. If you don't want to For a banquet to Mandy, how about I invite you tonight? It’s just that in terms of communication, I am not as proficient as Mandy, and the restaurant I found may not be as good as the one Mandy found!"

   "No no," Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand, "I just don't want to trouble you."

   "No trouble," Xu Wenxiang took out his mobile phone and said, "Since this is the case, then I will notify Mandy to arrange dinner for the evening."

   "It's only three o'clock, and it's early for dinner. I can't always sit in your company and wait for dinner?" Xiao Yao said, "Why don't you send me the time and place of dinner, and I will go there by myself?"

   "Also!" Xu Wenxiang nodded, "I will tell Mandy first, and then I will send you out!"

   Xiao Yao nodded, and sat aside waiting for Xu Wenxiang to call Chen Manli.

   "Mandy said that she wants to talk to you about something, please wait a moment, and she will come right away." Xu Wenxiang hung up the phone and said to Xiao Yao.

   Xiao Yao nodded non-committal and sat aside and waited.

  A few minutes later, the door of the recording studio was knocked. Xu Wenxiang called to invite in, and Chen Manli walked in with a smile on her face.

  Chen Manli first exchanged a few words with Xiao Yao, and asked them about the recording. After learning that Xiao Yao had recorded "Wedding Invitation Street", and Xu Wenxiang also praised and expressed satisfaction, Chen Manli also followed Xiao Yao with a few words, and then started talking to Xiao Yao.

"Xiao Yao, I heard that you are preparing for a new film project recently. This time you are coming to Hong Kong Island for a new film. I am very interested in your new film project. Can you go to my office and have a chat? "Chen Manli made a please gesture to Xiao Yao.

   "Sure enough, it's still here," Xiao Yao said in his heart.

  "Which aspect are you interested in?" Xiao Yao asked directly, "Do you want to express your intention to participate in investment and production on behalf of YH Company, or do you want to recommend actors or crew members to me?"

  After talking with Yang Shiyun yesterday, Xiao Yao already had a score in his heart. Chen Manli is interested in these two aspects.

"To be honest, I have both ideas." Chen Manli saw Xiao Yao directly, and she also said straightforwardly, "I don't know if you know the rules of the Hong Kong Island Awards. You must meet three fixed conditions. Only two films are eligible to participate in the selection of the Golden Image Awards."

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded and counted with his fingers. "First, the director must be a resident of Hong Kong Island. Second, the production company must have a legally registered company on Hong Kong Island. Third, the film's sixteenth. At least six of the work items in a work item must be residents of Hong Kong Island. As for the specific sixteen work items, I will not count them one by one."

"You know it so well, that's fine." Chen Manli smiled, "If our company participates in your film project, let alone you can easily meet the second and third conditions and qualify for the selection. Our company can also help you a lot in the promotion of the awards season next year!"

"I understand," Xiao Yao smiled, "your company is an old Hong Kong Island entertainment company, which has a great influence on the Academy Awards. However, my film is neither short of funds nor suitable for Hong Kong. The role of an actor in the island. More importantly, I have no plans to take this movie to participate in the Academy Awards!"
