Entertaining Children

Ye Jiaying brought the film to the Seoul International Film Festival, and the organizer of the film festival arranged for the whole reception. The reception work started with the pick-up. When the flight of Ye Jiaying and her group landed at Incheon Airport in South Korea, the reception staff from the film festival were already waiting at the exit of the arrival hall.

But this time it was not only the staff of the film festival who came to pick up the plane. When Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao walked out of the passenger passage, someone walked towards them before the film festival staff holding the pick-up sign.

"Sister Jiaying, hello! Welcome to Korea!" A slender, long-haired beauty warmly opened her arms to Ye Jiaying, smiled and said in fluent Chinese.

"Hi Xiuyan! Thank you for coming to pick me up!" Ye Jiaying smiled and hugged the long-haired beauty in front of her. The person who came to pick up the plane was none other than Hong Xiuyan who had a good relationship with Xiao Yao.

Ye Jiaying and Hong Xiuyan had worked together in a Chinese TV series, and they were supporting singers for Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao and his son in the finals of the same season of "Singer". The two also knew each other.

Before transitioning to become a director, Ye Jiaying also worked as a producer and supervisor, and has quite good contacts and resources in China's film and television industry. Knowing that Hong Xiuyan and Xiao Yao have a good relationship, Ye Jiaying also helped Hong Xiuyan get some performance opportunities in Chinese film and television dramas. In the past few years, Hong Xiuyan has participated in many film and television drama performances, and has developed quite well in China. This also has a certain relationship with Ye Jiaying, so the two not only know each other, but also have a good relationship.

"Xiuyan is angry, you call me sister, so shouldn't I call you aunt instead?" Xiao Yao smiled from the side.

"Of course not! The three of us call each other! You still call me Nuna!" Hong Xiuyan let go of Ye Jiaying, turned around and gave Xiao Yao another hug.

Hong Xiuyan knew that Ye Jiaying helped her get the opportunity to perform in Huaxia because of Xiao Yao. No matter how familiar she was with Ye Jiaying, the relationship couldn't be better than with Xiao Yao. She came to the airport to pick him up this time, mainly for Xiao Yao.

"Even everyone knows what they call each other. It seems that Nuna's Chinese has improved a lot!" Xiao Yao smiled and hugged Hong Xiuyan back.

"Excuse me, are you Ms. Ye and Mr. Chen?" At this time, two young men in suits came over and said to Ye Jiaying and another film producer beside her in slightly accented English, "Hello! We are The staff of the Seoul Film Festival are here to pick you up!"

"Yes! Hello! Thank you for your hard work!" Ye Jiaying nodded with a smile, stretched out her hand to the two, and replied in English.

"This is the leading actor of our movie, Xiao Yao!" After the producer surnamed Chen greeted the two receptionists, Ye Jiaying pointed to Xiao Yao and introduced to them.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao~" The two turned to Xiao Yao, and at the same time saw the face of the beautiful woman beside Xiao Yao, they couldn't help but exclaimed in Korean, "Ah~ Miss Hong Xiuyan?!"

"Yes, I'm Hong Xiuyan!" Hong Xiuyan smiled and said to the two, "Ms. Ye and Mr. Xiao are both my friends, so I came to pick them up at the airport. I hope it won't affect your work."

Hong Xiuyan heard the conversation between the two of them and Ye Jiaying just now, so she naturally knew who they were. She knew that Ye Jiaying and Xiao Yao were here to participate in the film festival, and also knew that the film festival would arrange the residence and itinerary of the crew members who came to the film festival, so it was not surprising that they appeared.

"No, no," both of them smiled and waved their hands, "I didn't expect Miss Xiuyan and Ms. Ye to still be friends, no wonder they speak Chinese so well!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time, I'm Xiao Yao!" Xiao Yao offered to extend his hand to the two of them.

Because Ye Jiaying was next to her, Hong Xiuyan also spoke English with the two staff members sent by the organizer of the film festival. Xiao Yao didn't have any concerns about this. He felt that their English sounded awkward, so he simply spoke Korean to them. .

"Hello, Mr. Xiao!" The two bent down and shook hands with Xiao Yao, and one of them sighed in surprise, "You speak Korean really well!"

"Let's go to the hotel, this way please!" Another person looked in several directions in the pick-up hall, and spoke humanely to Ye Jiaying and the others in English.

There is no shortage of gossip reporters at airports in any country. Because of the upcoming film festival, there are a lot more gossip reporters in the arrival hall of Incheon International Airport than usual. Although there were no reporters around at this time, some reporters had already raised their cameras to take pictures here, and the staff still felt that it was better to leave early.

"Nu Na, if it's okay, let's go to the hotel together!" Xiao Yao said to Hong Xiuyan. It's not good to let Hong Xiuyan go back by herself now, so Xiao Yao sent an invitation to go to the hotel together.

"Will it disturb your rest?" Hong Xiuyan asked.

"The time difference between Yanjing and Seoul is only one hour, and the flight time is only two hours. We don't even need to catch the time difference, and we don't need to rest!" Xiao Yao laughed.

"Then how about this?" Hong Xiuyan turned her head and said to the two staff members of the film festival, "Let Ms. Ye and Mr. Xiao take my car, and we will drive behind you to the hotel, is that okay?"

"This~" the two of them hesitated in a bit of embarrassment. Their job is to pick up people, but in the end they let the person they want to pick up take someone else's car. If something happens along the way, they feel that it may not be easy to deal with.

"How about this," Ye Jiaying said to Hong Xiuyan, "I'm the director, it's not good to take Xiuyan's car without the rest of the crew, I'd better ride with Brother Chen and the others in the car of the film festival organizer, and let Xiao Yao take the car Your car."

"Okay!" Hong Xiuyan nodded in agreement.

Hong Xiuyan also saw the embarrassment of the two staff members, and she invited Ye Jiaying's mother and son to sit in her car mainly because she wanted to chat with Xiao Yao on the road, and now that Xiao Yao got in her car, she also felt satisfied.

Ye Jiaying talked to the two film festival staff members again, and they both nodded in agreement.

The Seoul International Film Festival does not have awards for actors. The most important crew member of a participating film is the director, and the most important reception object of the two film festival organizers is Ye Jiaying. For these two people, as long as Ye Jiaying took their car, it was fine, and it was not a big problem for other people to take other people's cars.

"Okay, Minyi, come with me to take sister Xiuyan's car." Xiao Yao didn't object, and turned to Pei Minyi. This time when he came to South Korea, Xiao Yao did not bring Fang Yiran, but only Pei Minyi.

After the discussion, everyone set off to the parking lot.

Hong Xiuyan came to pick up the plane this time with an assistant and driver. After arriving at the parking lot, Hong Xiuyan asked her assistant to drive, and asked Pei Minyi to sit in the co-pilot, while she sat in the back row with Xiao Yao. After the vehicle set off, Hong Xiuyan also chatted with Xiao Yao about their current situation during the time apart.

Incheon Airport is located in Incheon, a famous port city in South Korea. It is more than 50 kilometers away from the center of Seoul. It took the group about an hour to arrive at the hotel arranged by the organizer of the film festival.

After helping Ye Jiaying and her party complete the check-in procedures and explaining some subsequent itinerary arrangements, the two staff members of the film festival organizer left.

It is now March, and the average temperature in Yanjing and Seoul is below ten degrees Celsius, which is still relatively cold, and everyone is still wearing thick clothes. After Xiao Yao got off the plane, he didn't need to take a shower and change clothes, so he directly invited Hong Xiuyan to his room.

Xiao Yao's room is a suite, with a bedroom inside and a living room outside. After Xiao Yao entered the room, he greeted Hong Xiuyan and his assistant to sit down in the living room, took two bottles of water from the mini refrigerator and handed them to them, asking them to wait a moment, then went into the bedroom with the suitcase to pack up.

Hong Xiuyan came to see Xiao Yao and Ye Jiaying this time, and she also wanted to show the friendship of the landlord and entertain Xiao Yao in South Korea. After Xiao Yao settled his luggage and came out of the bedroom, Hong Xiuyan also directly asked Xiao Yao about his itinerary.

Xiao Yao came to South Korea this time mainly to accompany Ye Jiaying to participate in the film festival. Apart from finding time to visit Liu Youyuan and meet him to catch up with him, Xiao Yao himself has no special work or schedule. As for the itinerary of the film festival, Xiao Yao is not very clear, so I have to ask Ye Jiaying.

So, Xiao Yao and Hong Xiuyan sat for a while, and then went to Ye Jiaying's room again.

Hong Xiuyan didn't plan to entertain Xiao Yao alone, but also wanted to entertain Ye Jiaying, so after entering Ye Jiaying's room, Hong Xiuyan asked about the itinerary of the mother and son.

"I don't have anything to do today. Tomorrow, I'm going to communicate with the relevant personnel of the film festival organizer about the event arrangements during the film festival. But for this matter, I can go with Producer Chen, and Xiao Yao doesn't need to go together." After listening to Hong Xiuyan's words After arriving, Ye Jiaying said with a smile, "In fact, apart from the three occasions that Xiao Yao must attend at the opening ceremony of the film festival, walking the red carpet with us, the meeting at the film screening, and the awards ceremony at the closing ceremony, other times Xiao Yao can move about freely. You can discuss the itinerary and activities yourself, as for me, you don’t have to worry about it, just take Xiao Yao to play well.”

Although Xiao Yao came to Korea because of her movie, Ye Jiaying didn't want to restrict Xiao Yao too much. Xiao Yao has traveled to the United States and Europe quite a few times, but he rarely goes to Japan and South Korea next door. It is a rare visit to South Korea, and Ye Jiaying hopes that Xiao Yao can have a good time in South Korea during this time and have fun.

"Well, okay!" Seeing Ye Jiaying say this, Hong Xiuyan turned to Xiao Yao and said, "Xiao Yao, what are you interested in in Korea? I'm free these days, so I can do it for you." guide."

To say that the most famous tourist destination in South Korea is undoubtedly Jeju Island, and this is the only place Xiao Yao wants to go. However, Jeju Island is several hundred kilometers away from Seoul, and there is still the sea in between. He is here to participate in the film festival this time, and it is not appropriate to leave the film crew alone to run so far away, so Xiao Yao still gave up the idea of ​​going to Jeju Island and decided Just stay in Seoul.

As the capital of South Korea, Seoul is also a nice city. Ancient buildings and modern buildings coexist in the city, and there are also many places of interest and modern tourist attractions. But in terms of modernization, Xiao Yao has been to New York and Los Angeles many times. In terms of historical sites, Seoul obviously cannot compare with China, so Xiao Yao really has no interest in Seoul's tourist attractions.

"I want to visit your company, is that okay?" After thinking for a while, Xiao Yao raised his head and said to Hong Xiuyan.

In this world, Korean wave culture is also relatively popular. Xiao Yao is very interested in Korean entertainment companies, especially wanting to experience the culture of trainees in the Korean entertainment industry, so he has the idea of ​​visiting Korean entertainment companies. The brokerage company that Hong Soo-yeon belongs to is called KM, which is a giant Korean artist planning and brokerage company similar to the previous Korean S.M. Entertainment, and the company headquarters happens to be in Seoul.

"You mean you want to visit the headquarters of KM Entertainment?" Hong Xiuyan asked Xiao Yao.

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, and continued, "Of course, if it's inconvenient, forget it, I just made up a temporary idea, so don't worry too much about it, I don't want to embarrass you."

"No embarrassment!" Hong Xiuyan smiled, "You are a big star in China, and you are well-known internationally. You are going to visit the headquarters of KM Entertainment. We will definitely welcome you. After returning tonight, I will tell you The company's senior management can tell you, and I can take you to visit tomorrow."

"Okay, then I will trouble Nuna." Xiao Yao nodded his thanks, and continued, "There is one more thing I would like to trouble Nuna."

"What? As long as it can be done, I will try my best to help you do it." Hong Xiuyan said.

"It's not too difficult." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "This time I come to Seoul, apart from attending the film festival and visiting your company, I don't plan to go wandering around outside. Taking advantage of this free time, I want to do Some music work, I want to ask you to help me find a recording studio in Seoul. The cost is not a problem, I don’t need you to help me get any discount, I will pay according to the price, mainly I want you to recommend me a A place with relatively complete equipment and musical instruments, and a relatively safe and reliable place.”

"This is very easy!" Hong Xiuyan said with a smile, "Our company has a recording studio. The equipment must be the most advanced in Asia at least. Hands, not only the types of musicians are very complete, but also very easy to find. If you want to work, why not use our company's recording studio!"

"Is this not good? Will it delay your company's original recording work?" Xiao Yao hesitated.

Generally speaking, large companies do not rent out their internal recording studios, so when Xiao Yao records outside, he usually looks for a small recording studio that has a rental business.

"There's nothing wrong with it," Hong Xiuyan said. "Our company has more than one recording studio. It's rare that all of them are in use at the same time. It shouldn't be a problem to allocate one for your use."

"What about the fee?" Xiao Yao asked again. Xiao Yao does not reject the use of KM's internal recording studio.

"It's hard for me to say that," Hong Xiuyan said with a smile, "I haven't rented a recording studio, and I don't know much about the cost of renting a recording studio. I have to go back to the company at night to find out."

"However," Hong Xiuyan continued, "Based on what I know about our boss, I don't think he should charge you any fees."

"If you don't want money, then let me exchange the song?" Xiao Yao immediately understood what Hong Xiuyan meant, and said with a smile, "I can't guarantee this!"

Back then, Xiao Yao helped a Chinese girl group under Wan Peiling write a Korean song "alone" on that electronic music program. Later, Xiao Yao sold the copyright of that song to the company of the girl group. Huaxia's entertainment company sold the cover rights of that song to a South Korean entertainment company.

The Korean entertainment company that bought the cover copyright of the Korean song from Huaxia's entertainment company was KM. Later, after the song became popular in Korea, KM also sent an email to Qijia Studio asking Xiao Yao to invite him to sing. Xiao Siqi told Xiao Yao about KM asking Xiao Yao to invite him to sing. Xiao Yao knew about it and still remembers it now.

At the beginning, the invitation to sing failed, but this time I delivered it myself. I believe that KM's top management will probably bring up the old matter again. Comparing a good song with the rental cost of a recording studio for more than ten days, as long as any executive of an entertainment company is not stupid, he will definitely choose the former.

However, Xiao Yao's temperament is not the kind that will be manipulated by others. If you want me to write songs for you, do I have to write for you? The big deal is that you don't need your recording studio and rent it out yourself. Seoul is so big, are you afraid that you won’t be able to find a recording studio for rent?

Of course, Xiao Yao didn't make up his mind not to write songs for artists under KM. Whether to write a song or not depends mainly on the attitude of the other party at the time, the artist candidate who asked him to write the song, and Xiao Yao's interest and mood at the time. That's why he said such an uncertain word to Hong Xiuyan, which can be regarded as a call in advance. Vaccination.
