Entertaining Children

   Chapter 951 Film Screening

  "It's just a few minutes' MV script, not a movie script or TV script script." Xiao Yao laughed, "It's not that long in total, and half a day is not fast!"

   "But you just said that you gave me the lyrics and scores of the song before noon," Liu Youyuan said, "Give me the script in the afternoon. How can I have half a day?"

   "If you have something in your mind, it's easy to turn it into words." Xiao Yao nodded his head with a smile.

"Now let's solve the song thing first." Seeing Liu Youyuan still had an expression of disbelief, Xiao Yao didn't bother to worry about it. He changed the subject and said, "I will write out the lyrics and music for you to see first, can the song work? , If you want to buy this song, you must have watched it before you can decide, right? Only when you decide you want this song, will there be the following MV."

   "Yes," Liu Youyuan nodded and asked Xiao Yao, "Are you going to write now?"

   "Of course," Xiao Yao raised his head and looked around, and asked Liu Youyuan, "Are there papers and pens?"

  This kind of thing is definitely not lacking in entertainment companies, so Xiao Yao didn't carry it with him.

  "Do you need us to avoid it and give you a separate and quiet space?" Liu Youyuan found a blank sheet of music and a pencil from the cabinet in the recording studio and handed it to Xiao Yao.

   "No, just don't talk." Xiao Yao took the pen and paper and started writing.

  The Korean song that Xiao Yao decided to give Liu Youyuan was "Because I'm a Girl" by Kiss in the previous life. Although this song was released in 2001 in the previous life, it has been a long time, but Xiao Yao was very impressed with the MV of this song, and he remembered the song very clearly. After almost ten minutes, he wrote the lyrics and music. Handed it to Liu Youyuan.

  Liu Youyuan couldn’t bother to sigh Xiao Yao’s speed again. He took the score and looked at it seriously, and couldn’t help but hum in a low voice during the process.

   "I think it's great!" After Liu Youyuan finished reading it, he first gave Xiao Yao a thumbs up, and then handed the music book to the three girls next to him, "Let's take a look."

  "Is this really written by the big boy in front of you?" After reading this, the three girls looked at Xiao Yao a little strangely, and did not express any opinions in the first place.

  Liu Youyuan understood the thoughts of the three students and knew that they were wondering how Xiao Yao, a boy in his early twenties, wrote such a "woman" song. To be honest, Liu Youyuan was also surprised when he saw the lyrics of this song. But after all, he was the one who had seen Xiao Yao throwing out a new song every week on "Singer" more than a year ago. Knowing the diversity of Xiao Yao's creation, he was much less surprised.

   "How do you feel about this song? Do you like it?" Liu Youyuan asked when the three girls were silent.

   "It's great, we like it very much!" the three girls answered.

   "Good!" Liu Youyuan nodded, turned to Xiao Yao and said, "Our company has collected this song! In terms of arrangement and soundtrack, have you already thought about it?"

   "Well, I have some ideas, I can do it with you." Xiao Yao nodded.

"Since you have already thought about the arrangement and soundtrack, then one day should be enough!" Liu Youyuan turned to the three girls and said, "Go and copy the lyrics and music on your hands, and leave the original to us. Today, you will be familiar with this song first. , Start recording tomorrow!"

   "Yes, teacher!" the three girls said happily.

  After the three girls left, Xiao Yao and Liu Youyuan began to record the accompaniment.

  Xiao Yao and Liu Youyuan are both musical instruments and recording engineers. But this is in Liu Youyuan’s recording studio. The song was written by Xiao Yao, and the arrangement was made by Xiao Yao. Xiao Yaohui also has more instruments than Liu Youyuan. Therefore, in terms of the division of labor, it is naturally that Liu Youyuan is the recording engineer and Xiao Yaojin. The soundtrack of various instruments is played in the recording room.

  Xiao Yao just copied the original arrangement and soundtrack of the previous life without any changes, so the process of recording the soundtrack and accompaniment was quite smooth.

After recording the soundtrack of each instrument separately, the post-processing aspects such as tuning adjustment and sound track synthesis were left to Liu Youyuan, a recording engineer, and Xiao Yao took time in the afternoon to write the script of the song's MV. .

  After finishing the post-production of the soundtrack, Liu Youyuan also immediately read the script written by Xiao Yao. After reading the script, Liu Youyuan said that he liked the story very much and would try his best to fight for the company to shoot this MV.

  In the matter of buying songs, Liu Youyuan, the company’s music director, has the right to make a decision on the spot, but the MV shooting involves not only music, but also many things in the performing arts. To invite the shooting team and actors, prepare the shooting venue and props, and make a shooting budget. These things cannot be decided by Liu Youyuan alone.

  Although Liu Youyuan personally likes the story written by Xiao Yao, he can’t be the master on the spot to buy Xiao Yao’s MV script for filming. Instead, he needs to show the script to the boss of the company and other department heads to discuss and decide together.

  Xiao Yao also knows that Liu Youyuan is not alone in making the MV, but he doesn’t care much about it. Both KM and YPL are South Korean entertainment companies. Xiao Yao's cooperation with these two companies this time is also based on the personal relationship between Hong Xiuyan and Liu Youyuan. SYS is not an artist under his own hands. It is the best to make a popular debut, and not being popular does not have much impact on Xiao Yao. His main target market and development direction are not in Korea either.

  After handing over the script, Xiao Yao's task today is over. Before Xiao Yao left, Liu Youyuan also continued to send Xiao Yao a job invitation for tomorrow: "Xiao Yao, I will record a song for SYS tomorrow, and you can come together."

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded first, and then said again, "But I can only come for half a day tomorrow morning. Tomorrow afternoon is the screening time of the film I starred in at the film festival, and I want to attend. SYS' The debut is still in preparation. The recording should not be so urgent, right? I will accompany you to record tomorrow morning, and you will walk with me in the afternoon. How about going to the film platform given to me by the film festival?"

"You are so popular in Korea now, do you still need me to help you on the platform?" Liu Youyuan laughed and teased Xiao Yao, then nodded, "But I also want to see what your movie looks like, tomorrow I'll go this afternoon!"

   "Okay, then it's settled!" Xiao Yao smiled.

  The next morning, Xiao Yao came to the YPL company as scheduled and recorded with Liu Youyuan to the three girls of SYS. Through the morning recording, Xiao Yao once again felt that the three girls of SYS were better than the five girls of Gstar in terms of singing, and he was even more optimistic about the prospect of this song.

  The screening time of "127 Hours" was at 2:30 in the afternoon. Xiao Yao recorded that he left after 11 noon. In addition to lunch time, he also had to go back to the hotel in advance to make some preparations.

  At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yao and Ye Jiaying and related personnel from the crew came to the screening hall. At this time, there is still a period of time before the film is shown, and there are only a few reporters in the theater, and no spectators.

  According to the public screening process, there will be an on-site exchange meeting after the film is broadcast, which will be left for the film creators to communicate with the live audience, and will also receive questions from the live reporters. However, the exchange meeting was after the film screening, and now I see Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao, some of the media reporters who came in early still came over and asked for a short live interview.

As the director of this movie, he is also a well-known veteran actor in the world. Ye Jiaying is the core person of this movie. However, because of the two events the day before yesterday, the reporter who came here to interview Xiao Yao unexpectedly The same amount as Ye Jiaying.

  If it is about the film interview, Xiao Yao is of course willing, but when he heard that the questions asked by the reporter were related to the two things the day before yesterday, Xiao Yao had no interest in answering the questions. If he were willing to accept an interview about the two events the day before yesterday, there would have been an interview already, and there would be no need to wait until the film festival's screening event to be interviewed.

   "Xiuyan is angry at that!" Xiao Yao saw a familiar figure appearing at the entrance of the theater, and immediately waved to the door.

   "Sorry, friends are here!" Xiao Yao took the opportunity to get out of the reporter's siege and greeted Hong Xiuyan.

"Xiao Yao, I'll enjoy your movie!" Hong Xiuyan smiled, "Yuni and the others wanted to come to join you, but they are too busy recently to get away from their trips. Let me convey their wishes to you. , I hope your film can achieve good results in this film festival."

   "Thank you, thank you, and thank them too!" Xiao Yao thanked him, then turned to the man next to Hong Xiuyan and said, "Park Zhixian xi, hello, welcome!"

  "Hello!" Park Zhixian and Xiao Yao are not very familiar, so he greeted him politely.

  "Please here!" Xiao Yao asked the two of them to the seats reserved for them in the front row of the auditorium.

   "Are they Hong Xiuyan and Park Zhixian? They are also watching this Chinese movie?" A reporter was a little surprised looking at the two chatting with Xiao Yao.

   "I heard that Hong Xiuyan has a very good relationship with Xiao Yao, and I have also worked with director Ye Jiaying in China!" Another reporter broke the news.

"Isn’t it strange that Hong Soo-yeon is here, what about Park Ji-hyun? He seems to have nothing to do with director Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao? It’s not always KM that sent Park Ji-hyun, right? With Park Ji-hyun’s current status, KM will follow Hong Su-yeon with this The two main creators of the movie have a good relationship and send him out to help the movie platform?" Another reporter said.

  The reporters saw that Xiao Yao was talking to the two of them, and did not rush to interrupt casually, but this did not affect their discussion.

  Ye Jiaying also saw the arrival of Hong Xiuyan. After dealing with the reporter in front of him, Ye Jiaying also sat in the seat next to Hong Xiuyan and greeted her. After Hong Xiuyan greeted Ye Jiaying, she also introduced Park Zhixian to Ye Jiaying.

  At this time, Xiao Yao left the auditorium and went to the door to welcome another Korean friend.

   "That's Liu Youyuan? Why is he here?" The reporter who recognized the person said in surprise.

In the film screenings of the   Film Festival, there are actually some big-name celebrity audiences. Some reporters and fans will even pay special attention to and compare that the movie can attract more celebrity audiences. However, most of the big-name celebrities who appear on this occasion are mostly directors and actors. In addition, there are many behind-the-scenes technicians and producers such as cameras and editors, and representatives of film companies. However, there are few pure singers to join in, especially Still a local star singer to join in a foreign movie.

  After Xiao Yao greeted Liu Youyuan, he led Liu Youyuan to the side of Hong Xiuyan and Ye Jiaying. Hong Xiuyan, Park Zhixian, and Liu Youyuan all knew each other, so Xiao Yao arranged the seats for the three of them together. Although Ye Jiaying also participated in the "Singer" finals that year, she did not have much contact with Liu Youyuan. Xiao Yao introduced Ye Jiaying and Liu Youyuan to each other.

  Not all the stars in this movie show came to Xiao Yao. Ye Jiaying has been in the film and television industry for a much longer time than Xiao Yao, has a much higher status, and has her own resources and connections. In this screening, not only two other core members of the Huaxia crew who also participated in the festival came to join in, but also two Korean directors and actors, a Thai actor and a Danish director came to Ye Jiaying’s platform Join in.

  Although the people who came to Ye Jiaying are also big names, they are all from the film industry. In comparison, the celebrities Xiao Yao came forward to meet made reporters feel more surprised.

  Hong Soo-yeon and Park Ji-hyun are both actors, but their actor careers are mainly in TV dramas. Although these two people are famous and have high traffic, in the eyes of the average Korean audience, there is still a big difference between the two of them and the professional film actors. It is a bit strange for the two to appear at the film festival, not to mention it. A non-native film is shown. As for Liu Youyuan, let alone. Therefore, such a star audience lineup, not to mention the screening activities of this film festival, is extremely rare in the history of the Seoul International Film Festival.

  However, the reporters’ surprise did not last long, because soon the film began to be shown, and everyone turned their attention to the film.

The story of a man who broke his leg and saved himself after being buried for 127 hours in the ground is very fascinating. Whether it is directed by Ye Jiaying or Xiao Yao's performance, it is very good, and it will soon be seen by the audience. I was completely invested in it, and my mood fluctuated with the experience of the protagonist in the movie. When the film screening ended, there was a burst of warm applause, and some audience members stood up with excitement.

  Amidst the applause of the audience, Ye Jiaying, Xiao Yao, and several key creative staff of the crew came to the stage and bowed to the audience. The applause that had gone down was much louder.

  Next is the on-site communication, which is the link where the audience and media reporters ask questions to the creators on stage. As the director of the film, Ye Jiaying was asked the most times, followed by Xiao Yao.

  With regard to the film’s questions, Xiao Yao answered earnestly, actually speaking about the themes he wanted to express in the film and his feelings and feelings during and after the filming. However, as before the movie, many of these questions were about his hitting shows and anti-fans on Korean TV. Xiao Yao basically refused to answer these questions on the grounds that he had nothing to do with the movie.

  In addition to only answering questions related to the movie, Xiao Yao also showed his personality in another aspect at this exchange meeting.

Xiao Yao has been on Korean TV shows. In addition to singing on stage, he spoke fluent Korean to the host in the special introduction section of the program. He speaks Korean to Korean reporters and even many Korean audiences. It's no secret. During the on-site communication after the screening, some Korean reporters directly asked Xiao Yao in Korean.

  Such a situation, Xiao Yao had already experienced once when he was interviewed on the red carpet, and this time he still answered all in English. However, on the red carpet at that time, Xiao Yao faced the host of the film festival, but this time Xiao Yao faced a lot less scrupulous reporters.

  A South Korean reporter listened to Xiao Yao's continuous English speaking, and couldn't help but ask Xiao Yao a question in Korean, and later emphasized that Xiao Yao should answer the question in Korean.

   Xiao Yao did not evade the question that he could speak Korean, so he answered the reporter directly without waiting for the on-site interpreter. However, Xiao Yao's answer was still not in Korean, but in English, he stunned the other party back.

  Xiao Yao especially emphasized that this is a screening of the Seoul International Film Festival. They are the Chinese crew who came to participate in the International Film Festival. They are Chinese people. There are not only Korean audiences and reporters, but also audiences and reporters from China and other countries. Rather than having a translator translate his Korean into English, he thinks it is more appropriate to speak English directly!

   Xiao Yao’s answer caused a lot of discussion on the scene.
