Entertaining Children

The party on the night of arrival in Vieques was considered a bonus for the models, and from the second day onwards, the shooting team was back to work. Chen Xuan and the models continued to shoot stills for the swimsuit special, while Xiao Yao and Louis continued their diving training in nearby waters.

Although Vieques Island is inhabited, the area of ​​the entire island is only 132 square kilometers, with a population of less than 10,000, while Puerto Rico, where San Juan is located, has an area of ​​nearly 9,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 3 million. . Compared with San Juan, there are actually not many places to play in Vieques. The models already knew that Xiao Yao was learning to dive with a diving instructor, and wanted to get OW's diving license before leaving. Therefore, during the past few days in Vieques Island, the models who had no shooting assignments did not come to Xiao Yao again. As a translator and tour guide, I took them out to play.

During the day after arriving in Vieques Island, Xiao Yao and Louis spent most of their time conducting diving training in the sea not far from the shooting location. When there is a suitable wave, the two will get out of the sea, and Louis will teach Xiao Yao to surf by the way. When the two were tired from staying in the water, they ran ashore to find a suitable place to watch the models on the beach take pictures. It was a full and satisfying day.

Whether it's the photo shoot of the models or Xiao Yao's diving and surfing training, they are all carried out during the day with better light. When night fell, the models finished shooting and the diving and surfing teaching of Xiao Yao and Luis also ended.

When he was in San Juan before, Xiao Yao seldom went out surfing at night. Now that he has started to learn diving and surfing, he consumes a lot of energy during the day, so Xiao Yao will not go out to run around at night. After eating dinner and taking a shower, Xiao Yao lay comfortably on the sofa in the room and played with the computer.

"Dong dong~" There was a knock on the door.

"Here we come!" Xiao Yao shouted, got up and opened the door.

"It's late at night, who is it?" On the way to open the door, Xiao Yao couldn't help muttering.

During this period of time, no matter how crazy Xiao Yao was with the models during the day, he never visited the models' residences at night, even when he was neighbors with the models on Pado Island. Similarly, the models never came to his residence to look for him at night, and they always went out to play with him during the day. When someone knocked on the door at this time, Xiao Yao was inevitably a little puzzled.

"Yang, good evening!" Xiao Yao opened the door, and a middle-aged Caucasian man greeted Xiao Yao with a smile.

"Mr. Goodman, good evening!" Xiao Yao responded with a smile, "Is there something wrong?"

The man's name is Elbert Goodman, and he is the leader of the shooting team for the Eva swimsuit special. In addition to Chen Xuan's final say on the shooting of still photos, other things such as itinerary arrangements, logistics support, event arrangements and even the shooting of documentaries are all at his discretion. Although Chen Xuan asked Xiao Yao to temporarily join the filming team this time, it would be difficult for Xiao Yao to join if Albert Goodman, the person in charge of the basic necessities of the team, did not nod. Xiao Yao had dealt with him before coming here, so he was naturally very polite and polite to him.

"Just call me Albert," Albert Goodman said with a smile, "I do have something to talk to you about, do you have time now?"

"Of course!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, "Can we talk in my room? Please come in!"

"Of course!" Albert Goodman nodded and walked in.

"Please sit down!" Xiao Yao asked Albert Goodman to sit down on the sofa, poured him another glass of water, and then sat down opposite him.

"Have you had a good time these few days?" Albert Goodman asked Xiao Yao with a smile instead of getting to the point immediately after sitting down.

"Very pleasant!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, "Everything is very good, this is definitely a very wonderful experience for me."

"Speaking of which, I want to thank you again." Xiao Yao put his hands together, lowered his head and made a gesture of thanks,

"Thank you for allowing me to temporarily join this extraordinary team."

"You're welcome!" Elbert Goodman smiled and waved his hands, "You have also done a lot of work. Especially you get along very well with the models, and the interaction with those girls is very exciting, Let us have a lot more interesting content in this documentary, and I am also very glad that you are here. For us, this is a win-win decision!"

"Speaking of documentaries," Elbert Goodman took the opportunity to get to the point, "The thing I came to find you this time is also related to documentaries."

"Oh? What exactly?" Xiao Yao asked.

"You know, we also recorded the party yesterday as material for the documentary." Albert Goodman said, "The Spanish song you sang at the party yesterday was very good. The atmosphere is also very good. When we do the final editing of the documentary, we will definitely edit this section. But this involves the copyright issue of your song. You know, our documentary will be broadcast on TV stations. "

It is definitely a commercial activity to broadcast a documentary on a TV station. Since it is a commercial activity, there are issues of portrait rights and copyrights.

Before Xiao Yao came, he knew that he was going to make a documentary, and it didn't matter if it was on TV. Since he was going to come, the portrait right had already been discussed with Eva. But he didn't plan to perform and sing before he came, so he didn't talk about the copyright of the song. The party was prepared in advance, and the copyright of the song performed by the band had already been negotiated with Eva, but Xiao Yao's song was forced out by the models temporarily. This documentary will be broadcast on the TV station. This question We need to talk about it first. The laws in the United States are much stricter than those in China. The more well-known large companies like Eva, the more cautious they are in these aspects.

"It turned out to be this," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "This is not a problem, you can just cut it in and broadcast it, and I will give you the copyright of that song for free."

"Really? That's great!" Albert Goodman said happily. Although Eva is not short of that little money, it is naturally better to get the right to use it for free.

"But I also have something I want to ask you for help." Xiao Yao continued, "It's not an exchange, no matter whether you agree or not, I will give you the right to use the song for free."

"Okay, you say. As long as I can do it, I will try my best." Albert Goodman nodded.

"My matter is also about the song at the party last night." Xiao Yao said, "My song has not been officially released, but it will always be released in the future. I want you to give me a copy of the song you took yesterday The copy of the video material of the party, I will edit it myself, then match it with that song, and make it into an MV. When the song is officially released, I don’t need to shoot another MV, just use it as the song The official official MV of the song."

After Albert Goodman mentioned the song last night, Xiao Yao remembered the MV issue. There were a dozen of Eva's supermodels at the party last night, and the documentary crew must have captured them all. If the video material from last night's party is used to make the MV, it is equivalent to twelve Eva's supermodels co-starring in his MV. A MV with twelve Eva supermodels as actors, how amazing it would be! Thinking of this, Xiao Yao's idea popped up.

"Great idea!" Elbert Goodman also reacted immediately, and praised Xiao Yao with a thumbs up and a smile, "You are so smart! There will definitely be a MV with twelve Eva supermodels co-starring." So many people want to see it!"

"It's no problem for you to get the material." Albert Goodman continued, "But I want to remind you that the MV is also a commercial activity, and there is also the issue of portrait rights. When those girls came to shoot the swimsuit special Knowing that you are going to make a documentary, Eva must have the right to use their portraits, but your MV does not. Of course, seeing you getting along with them these days, it should not be difficult to get them to authorize. But you can’t let them do it without knowing it. If you don’t want to be an actor in your MV, you should let them know in advance.”

"Understood, I will!" Xiao Yao said, "Thank you for your reminder, I will talk to them tomorrow."

"Okay, I'm done with my business, so I won't disturb your rest any longer." Albert Goodman stood up and held out his hand to Xiao Yao, "I wish you that song and that MV Can be a big fire, goodbye!"

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao stood up, shook hands with Albert Goodman, and sent him to the door.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yao got up early and came to the shooting location by the sea, and then went to the models one by one to talk to them about the MV's portrait rights. The models all had a good impression of Xiao Yao. They heard that Xiao Yao was going to release their performance at the party the night before yesterday as an MV. They all expressed their unconditional support, and no one asked Xiao Yao for a reward.

In the evening, Albert Goodman came to Xiao Yao's room again and sent him video footage from the party the night before.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao thanked Albert Goodman again after taking the USB flash drive containing the video material.

"You're welcome," Albert Goodman waved his hands with a smile, and said again, "I heard that those girls have already agreed to you."

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, "Elbert, there is one more thing I would like to ask for your help?"

"What else? Tell me, what's the matter?" Albert Goodman asked Xiao Yao with a smile without being impatient.

"You know, the models all agree that I use their images as MVs, and they are all free of charge." Xiao Yao said, "I also want to do something for them and express my gratitude to them. At the same time, I am also very grateful The team has taken care of me these days, and I also want to do something for the behind-the-scenes staff of this team. After tomorrow's filming ends, everyone will leave the day after tomorrow. I plan to do a performance for everyone tomorrow night and sing for everyone , what do you think of this idea?"

"Very good!" Elbert Goodman nodded with a smile, "After hearing you sing at the party that night, many people liked it very much! You are willing to perform for everyone, I think everyone must be very happy." Happy! What do you need me to do for you?"

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao said, "In terms of performance, I can handle it by myself. I don't need you to hire a band for me. But I need you to help me prepare the venue and equipment! Of course, you can also film and record this performance , as the material of your documentary, and all the songs performed in the performance, I will also give you the right to use the documentary for free."

"Okay, no problem!" Elbert Goodman agreed happily, and then asked, "What equipment do you need, and do you have any requirements for the venue and layout?"

"In terms of equipment, I don't need a lot of things. I made a list." Xiao Yao handed Albert Goodman a piece of paper and said, "In terms of venue layout, there are no requirements, but I have an idea, tomorrow I can help you set it up together."

"Okay!" Albert Goodman took a look at the paper Xiao Yao handed over, and said with a smile, "Then it's settled!"

The third day in Vieques, the last day of filming for this swimsuit special.

This afternoon, after taking the last photo of the last model, Chen Xuan specially gathered all the models and staff, announced to them that the shooting was over, and expressed his thanks to them. Just as everyone applauded each other to thank each other, Elbert Goodman came over and announced to everyone that a music performance was arranged for everyone in the evening, and a star was invited to perform for everyone, so that everyone could watch the performance at night .

According to the itinerary plan, after resting overnight in Vieques Island tonight, everyone will leave for San Juan early tomorrow morning, and then we will part ways at the airport in San Juan and go our separate ways. We have been together for more than ten days, and some feelings have emerged to some extent. It is really a very good arrangement to organize another group activity on the eve of parting and let everyone play together once.

Everyone was very happy to hear the arrangement made by Elbert Goodman. But when everyone asked which singer or band was invited, Elbert Goodman played with mystery and refused to reveal who the performer was, only saying that everyone would know when they went tonight.

After dinner, everyone gathered together again and set off for the performance.

The audience for this performance was only their filming team, and no locals participated. The location of the performance was in the filming area they rented, not far from everyone's residence. You don't need to take a car, just walk there.

"Why didn't you see Yang? Has anyone seen Yang?" A group of models walked a few steps happily, and Jacqueline suddenly found that there was no figure of Xiao Yao in the team. She couldn't help asking the people around her curiously, "Tonight's collective Shouldn't Yang also participate in the event?"

"Yeah, why didn't you see Yang?" Abby, who was walking beside her, looked around and asked curiously, also not finding Xiao Yao.
