Entertaining Children

"Good car!" Xiao Yao patted the outside of the car door and smiled at Feng Junting.

"Hehe," Feng Junting, who was about to put into gear and start off, let go of the hand gear, but pulled up the handbrake and said, "If you like it, do you want to let you drive?"

"No need!" Xiao Yao waved his hand, "I'm not used to this right-hand drive car, so you should drive it!"

"Okay!" Seeing Xiao Yao waving his hand, Feng Junting released the handbrake, put it in gear and started off.

"You said just now that if you like it, I thought you would say that if you like it, I will give it to you!" After going on the road, Xiao Yao turned to look at Feng Junting and smiled.

"Ah?" Feng Junting was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Yes! If you like it, I will give it to you!"

"Really? Tens of millions of luxury cars, free to give away?" Xiao Yao was surprised.

"This car was given to me by my family. I didn't buy it with money. I don't feel bad about it." Feng Junting said with a smile, "This car is too eye-catching. I rarely drive it. If I hadn't come to pick you up today , I won’t even drive it out. Anyway, the garage parked at home is also dusty, if you like it, it’s okay to send it to you.”

"Don't, don't, I'm joking!" Xiao Yao waved his hands repeatedly, "You don't usually drive such an eye-catching car, and I don't know how to drive it. Besides, I live in the mainland, and I drive on the left. You This right-hand drive car can’t be driven in the mainland either. I’m not interested in collecting luxury cars!”

"Then when do you come to Hong Kong Island and want to drive, come to me anytime, and I'll lend it to you!" Feng Junting said.

"Thanks in advance then!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded.

"I went to the company in the afternoon and saw the song practice." Feng Junting said to Xiao Yao again, "The song "Onderful U" you wrote for her is really nice!"

"Really?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Her voice is very good, and her singing skills are also very good."

It is Yang Shiyun's English name. Xiao Yao knew it when he participated in the show last year, and knew that Feng Junting was talking about Yang Shiyun.

"Her voice is very good, and she sings well," Feng Junting rolled his eyes helplessly, "But what I said just now was obviously a compliment, okay?"

"Praise me? Why are you praising me?" Xiao Yao smiled, "You don't want to invite songs, do you? I think it's better for you to focus on being an actor!"

"Hello,

What do you mean? I'm also a singer, okay? "Feng Junting said dissatisfied.

"So you debuted as a singer?" Xiao Yao said intentionally, "So you couldn't get along with singing, so you turned into an actor?"

"You~" Feng Junting gritted his teeth, "I really want to drag you to the boxing gym for another fight!"

"Are you trying to abuse yourself?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Why bother?"

The two bickered all the way, and soon arrived at the restaurant where Chen Manli had reserved a seat.

This is a very characteristic high-end Cantonese restaurant, and Chen Manli booked a private room. Besides Xiao Yao and Feng Junting, the only people who came were Xu Wenxiang, Chen Manli and Yang Shiyun. They are all acquaintances, and no one disturbs them. The atmosphere of this dinner is relatively relaxed and happy.

During a boxing match in the afternoon, Feng Junting and Xiao Yao became familiar with each other. Feng Junting lost the fight in the afternoon, and the bickering on the way here was not as good as Xiao Yao. Seeing the relaxed atmosphere at the dinner, Feng Junting, who refused to admit defeat, actually started drinking with Xiao Yao again.

After Feng Junting drank three cups with Xiao Yao, the purpose was already obvious. Seeing Feng Junting's goal, Xu Wenxiang, Chen Manli, and Yang Shiyun came out to stop them, and persuaded Feng Junting on the grounds that Xiao Yao would record tomorrow. Yang Shiyun even offered to drink with Feng Junting on Xiao Yao's behalf.

However, Xiao Yao did not accept the kindness of the three, and insisted on fighting with Feng Junting. recording? You can push back! Let girls stop drinking? Is that still a man? Of course, the most important thing is that in a one-on-one situation, Xiao Yao is absolutely confident that he can also put Feng Junting down when drinking.

Although the two people look similar in stature, Feng Junting is a few years older than Xiao Yao, but Feng Junting is from the south, Xiao Yao is from the north, and he is still a northerner who went to the wine shop in the alley to drink liquor since he was a child. I don't believe that I can't drink Feng Junting.

Facts also proved Xiao Yao's judgment. After this dinner, Feng Junting was helped out of the restaurant, and the person who supported him was Xiao Yao.

The next morning, Xiao Yao still went to YH Entertainment to record the official versions of the two songs "Circle" and "Onderful U" for Yang Shiyun.

The recording of the two songs took almost a day in total. In addition to the music director Xu Wenxiang, who accompanied Xiao Yao to record this time, there was another audience in the recording studio, and that was Feng Junting, who was drunk by Xiao Yao last night.

Feng Junting came here at noon. Feng Junting, who was obviously depressed and in a state of hangover, immediately declared with regret when he saw Xiao Yao, that in the future, he would never fight with Xiao Yao again except for fighting with Xiao Yao!

After spending a whole day recording the two songs, Xiao Yao's mission in YH Company was completed this time, but Chen Manli didn't want to let Xiao Yao go just like that.

I don’t know if it’s because Xiao Yao jokingly blocked Feng Junting’s mouth in the car yesterday. Chen Manli didn’t ask Xiao Yao to write a song for Feng Junting, but Yang Shiyun’s three songs were going to be filmed in the MV. Because of this, Chen Manli Things happened to Xiao Yao again.

Before Xiao Yao became a film director, he worked as a MV director. Except for the first few MVs, Xiao Yao's song MVs are basically shot by himself, and the script is also written by himself. Many of these MVs are of good quality and high popularity. Many people know that Xiao Yao has the ability to shoot MVs.

However, Xiao Yao told Chen Manli and Xu Wenxiang the day before yesterday that he only had four days to spare on Hong Kong Island, and then he would return to Shanghai. At that time, Chen Manli didn't know what Xiao Yao was doing when he returned to Shanghai, but now she knew that Xiao Yao was probably going to start working on movies.

Now that three days have passed, the remaining day is definitely not enough to shoot the MV. Chen Manli knows that Xiao Yao is unlikely to delay her film project in order to shoot the MV for Yang Shiyun, so she does not want to find Xiao Yao as the MV director to shoot this The MVs of the three songs, but to ask Xiao Yao if he has any ideas on how to shoot the MVs of these three songs. To put it bluntly, I asked Xiao Yao if he could write scripts for the MVs of the three songs.

Write the MV script? Xiao Yao thought about it carefully in his mind, and found that it was different from those songs that he had heard in his previous life, but his impression was not deep. After thinking about it, he could still recall them. He had never seen the MVs of those songs in his previous life. No matter how you think about it, it is impossible to conjure it out of thin air from any corner of memory. Fortunately, although the production and copyright of the song were signed, the contract did not stipulate anything about the MV, so Xiao Yao refused without any burden and had no idea.

Wedding invitation street is the wedding invitation street in Hong Kong Island. Although I wrote this song, you Hong Kong people must have deeper feelings for wedding invitation street than I, a mainlander! For the MV of this song, if you find a screenwriter and director from Hong Kong Island to shoot, it must be better than the script that I, a mainlander, thought of! As for the other two songs, they are just love songs. Your company has rich experience in this field and has shot many love song MVs. I believe you must have professionals with rich experience in this field!

Originally, it was an excuse that he didn't want to waste his brain and wanted to be lazy, but when Xiao Yao said this, it sounded like Xiao Yao was self-effacing in order to take into account the face of YH company and Hong Kong people, and he won another favor for nothing.

All three songs have been recorded, and the MV is ignored. Xiao Yao has nothing to do for the time being, so he contacted Lin Jingliang again. Knowing that Lin Jingliang had almost dealt with the matter at hand and could leave for the mainland the next day, Xiao Yao also gave up his plan to stay on Hong Kong Island for one more day, and met Lin Jingliang the next day, and set off to fly back with him Shencheng.

Shencheng is Xiao Yao's permanent residence, and Lin Jingliang is the art director invited by Xiao Yao. Leaving Hong Kong Island and coming to Shanghai, Xiao Yao changed from a guest to a host in front of Lin Jingliang. Xiao Yao not only booked a hotel for Lin Jingliang in advance, but also took Lin Jingliang to play in Shanghai as a tour guide for a day after flying to Shanghai.

Lin Jingliang and Xiao Yao came to the mainland to make movies, so they just rested and played for a day on the day they arrived in Shanghai. From the next day, they started to enter the working state.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yao brought Lin Jingliang to the Young People Film and Television Company, and called a meeting with the relevant personnel of the film project.

As the producer, producer and director of the film, the actors of the main roles, the shooting location, and the heads of various departments of the crew are all matters that Xiao Yao needs to personally participate in making decisions. But the film crew is a very large organization, involving a lot of things and people, and it is impossible for Xiao Yao to do all the things alone. Some people and things that are not particularly important, as well as the preliminary preparations for some important things, are assigned to other people.

Xiao Yao convened a meeting with relevant personnel this time. In addition to introducing Lin Jingliang to everyone, he also officially announced that the film preparation work has entered a substantive stage. Prior to this, Xiao Yao found several professionals with relevant experience in the company as the co-producers of the film, and searched for a list of some crew members in advance.

In the film and television industry, there are behind-the-scenes jobs such as photography and lighting, and many of them are inherited from masters leading apprentices. Some well-known photographers and lighting engineers are also used to cooperating with some fixed partners, so some departments The choice is a whole team.

Since it was said before that all aspects related to film aesthetics in the film will be in charge of Lin Jingliang, the art director, so Lin Jingliang's opinions should also be listened to in the selection of staff in the clothing, chemical, road, lighting, and photography departments. Xiao Yao simply handed over the information of these candidates to Lin Jingliang, letting Lin Jingliang, who has more experience in the industry, choose first, and then make the final choice from Lin Jingliang's favorite candidates.

Most of the staff in the art-related departments of the crew were handed over to Lin Jingliang for the first selection, and the actors did not have any concerns in this regard. In terms of casting, Xiao Yao has already entrusted it to a casting studio, and they already have a lot of candidates. They are waiting for Xiao Yao to confirm the audition time and notify those candidate actors to audition. The casting is Xiao Yao's own responsibility. Lin Jingliang can participate or not, and if he participates, he can also provide opinions, but Xiao Yao is the one who makes the decision.

Now the candidate list given by the casting studio has been screened by them, and Xiao Yao is basically satisfied after reading the information. If Xiao Yao conducts another audition by himself, he does not intend to conduct several more rounds of auditions. No matter how suitable he feels, it is not impossible to settle on one audition.

Because after selecting the actor for the role, he has to sign a contract with the actor, so Xiao Yao asked the company's legal department to make the contract text in advance, and bring the contract text with him when preparing for the audition. If you feel suitable during the audition, you can negotiate the conditions and sign the contract on the spot.

However, when the legal staff printed out the contract template, after reading it, Xiao Yao found that he had overlooked a problem.

Although the name of Xiao Yao's film and television company is Young People, and the shareholders of the company are all young people who have just graduated from college, it doesn't mean that the employees in the company are all young rookies.

The person in charge of the company's legal department is a young and middle-aged man with rich industry experience. The contract drawn up by the legal department is very detailed, even more detailed than some ordinary contracts in the industry, avoiding many loopholes. But after Xiao Yao took a closer look, he still found a problem.

This problem is not a problem of the contract, but a problem of Xiao Yao himself. Generally, in the contract for actors, in addition to the remuneration, various treatments during the filming period are also clearly stipulated. In the contract given by the legal affairs, the remuneration for the actors was also mentioned, which was in accordance with the general industry standards. It was not a problem at first, but after Xiao Yao read it, he remembered the filming location that he voluntarily mentioned when he went to find Lin Jingliang. Conditions will be more difficult. According to my envisioned shooting location in a remote and remote place with high altitude, little rain and drought in Northwest Shanxi, I may not be able to provide the treatment listed in the contract at that time!

"Mr. Lin," Xiao Yao turned to Lin Jingliang after reading the contract template, "I think, should we choose the scene first, and then choose the actors and other staff?"

"Of course I have no problem." Lin Jingliang smiled, "But I remember when you were at my house, you told me that you planned to audition first, and then set out to choose the scene after confirming the actors of the main role. Why did you suddenly change your mind? ?”

"Because I don't think everyone cares about the shooting conditions as much as you do." Xiao Yao smiled wryly, "I'm afraid that the shooting conditions are too difficult, and some people don't want to go. Of course, I can tell him in advance that the shooting location is In the Northwest, the conditions are very difficult, and some financial compensation can be made appropriately. But these things are too abstract, and I can’t tell how difficult it is now. So I want to choose a good scene first and understand the specific conditions of the shooting location , I know what kind of accommodation and food standards we can provide to them at that time, so it would be better to share it with them. In case someone goes there after signing the contract, they feel that the actual situation is different from what I imagined or what I described It’s the same, if you feel cheated, it’s not good to have disputes.”

As an actor, Ye Jiaying recommended Xiao Yao to make a TV series, and Ye Jiaying helped to sign the contract. The filming location was in the film and television city. Ye Jiaying directed the film "127 Hours", and the agent still helped to sign the contract. Xiao Yao himself did nothing. look carefully. As a director, Xiao Yao's short films are shot in the city, and animated films are made in studios, which do not involve this issue. The parkour movie was also filmed in the city, and the more experienced Mu Ying was in charge of the specific contracts, and Xiao Yao didn't care much. Therefore, Xiao Yao has never considered this issue before.

"Okay, you are the director, I'll listen to you!" Lin Jingliang spread his hands and said, "But I remember you said that the actors' auditions are all set, what are you going to do?"

"Then we can only change the audition time." Xiao Yao said, "I said I don't want to change the audition time, but it's not impossible to change it."
