Entertaining Children

"Is it necessary?" Dean hesitated for a moment, but still said, "We are not film critics, so we can judge if it is really nominated for an Oscar by looking at it?"

"At least you have to show your attitude," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Although we are only a student band, we also value our works very much. The more formal we are, the more the other party will value us. Besides, you are not curious about animation What is the post-production of the film like? Since there is such an opportunity, do you want to broaden your horizons?"

"You're right." Dean agreed, "At least I've never seen what the post-production of a movie looks like, even if it's an animated movie."

"Okay, then it's a deal, see you tomorrow!" Xiao Yao ended the conversation.

"See you tomorrow, and I hope you have a good time tonight." Dean said, and hung up the phone happily.

When Xiao Yao came back, only Keith and Betty were left in the music room, and Horn and Ron had already left. Presumably, both of them had no interest in staying here and continuing to play.

Sure enough, Betty smiled and explained to Xiao Yao: "Horn is going to prepare the contract, Ron is going to arrange tomorrow's viewing, and they can't wait to leave. They are both impatient, and they often do this."

"It's okay." Xiao Yao spread his hands and smiled. He had seen a lot of professionals with this temperament since he was a child.

"Let's go, we're done talking about business, it's time to relax. Let's go down." Keith suggested to Xiao Yao.

"One more thing," Xiao Yao looked at Keith and said, "You also heard what Ron said just now, our band needs to give him the official studio version of this song. Could you please help us contact a recording company Shed, or recommend one to us. In Los Angeles, you must be much more familiar with this aspect than us middle school students."

"No problem," Keith said, "I'm also a producer. If you can trust me, I'll record this song for you. Our "Daydream" band has its own dedicated recording studio, which is located in downtown Los Angeles. .”

"Of course I believe you," Xiao Yao said in a relaxed manner, "Thank you so much. I don't even know how to express my gratitude."

"Between friends, don't need to talk about this." Keith waved his hand and smiled, "You and Betty have known each other for seven years. You are her friend, and of course I am also a friend, and I like you very much. So you don't need to say thank you."

"However," Keith continued with a sudden smile, "If you really want to express your gratitude, I have an idea."

"What? You say,

As long as I can do it, I will do my best. "Xiao Yao said sincerely.

"In a while, our band will hold a concert tour. Not to mention other places, we happen to have a show in Los Angeles before Christmas at the end of the year. At that time, your band will give us a free opening performance for this concert in Los Angeles. How about it?" Keith suggested.

"How is this a reward? It's clearly another excellent opportunity brought to you." Xiao Yao thought gratefully. Not to mention how delighted Dean would be to do an opening act for idol Keith Craig's band. Just doing a warm-up performance for the "Daydream" band itself is an opportunity for "Daydream" to promote "immortals" to help them promote and increase their popularity. Putting it on other lesser-known bands, this is an opportunity that you might not get if you spend money on it, but Keith took it as an opportunity to return favors after recording for his own band, which really made Xiao Yao wonder what to do. Express your inner gratitude.

"You don't want to?" Seeing that Xiao Yao didn't respond immediately, Keith asked.

"No, of course we are willing, not to mention free, this is an opportunity you can't even dream of after spending money," Xiao Yao quickly agreed.

"Don't talk too early," Keith laughed, "The movie "S" is expected to be released in early December, and around Christmas, maybe your band has already become famous for the theme song of this movie." And when it becomes popular, will you still think so? It’s hard to say if you are willing to be a free warm-up guest for us. But since you have already agreed, you are not allowed to go back on your word.”

"I promise." Xiao Yao immediately expressed his attitude resolutely.

Unexpectedly, he only came to Betty's house as a second guest and got so many unexpected surprises. Xiao Yao deeply felt that the visit this time was really worth it.

Xiao Yao, who was extremely happy in his heart, also had a lot of fun on the ladder later. In front of everyone, Xiao Yao didn't drink any more, but excitedly, he looked almost the same as after drinking.

After the party was over, Xiao Yao was arranged by Betty to stay in the guest room. The next morning, Keith drove Xiao Yao into the car and went directly to the studio where the post-production of "S" was in progress.

Along the way, Keith casually chatted with Xiao Yao about some music topics. Xiao Yao has studied with Xiao Siqi for more than ten years, and he has absolutely authentic materials. In addition, he still has many classic music works from his previous life in his mind to confirm what he has learned, and he also has his own uniqueness in terms of insights.

So along the way, Keith became more and more sure that Xiao Yao was a genius, and he would definitely shine in the music field in the future. The only regret is that Xiao Yao is a Chinese and will return to China in a year, so he cannot continue to develop in the American music circle in the near future. If Xiao Yao is an American, even if he is Chinese, Keith is confident that he can help him become a super newcomer who is not inferior to Bill Justin, who is currently the most popular in the American music circle.

After waiting at the door of the studio for about 20 minutes, Xiao Yao waited until the other four members arrived.

Probably because they wanted to come to a place like a film studio, and the image was reasonable. The four of them were well-prepared in their attire, and Samien, who was driving, did not drive her second-hand car, but took Mrs. Smith The newer car drove by.

Seeing Mrs. Smith's car arrive, Xiao Yao immediately opened the car door and walked over, calling out to his four partners.

First, I happily greeted Xiao Yao. After seeing Keith Craig who came with Xiao Yao, the three guys, Dean, Mike and George, immediately greeted their idols and surrounded them. .

Samien's performance was relatively calm. He didn't walk towards Keith Craig, but just looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Thank you for everything you have done for the band."

"It's nothing, I'm also a member of the band." Xiao Yao smiled, took out his mobile phone and started calling Ron Distin.

"It's a pity that it's only one year." Samion muttered in a low voice, but Xiao Yao, who was calling to inform Ron of the arrival of his band, didn't hear it.

Not long after, Ron Distin came to the studio door to pick up everyone.

"Hello, I'm Ron Distin, welcome to come." After a simple greeting with the band members, Ron looked at Keith Craig and said, "Keith, you come too Yes. Also welcome."

"Don't look at me, my role today is Jan's driver." Keith smiled humorously, "I'll just sit in the car outside and wait for Jan."

"Keith Craig is Yang's driver?" Dean and the others looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.

"Don't joke with me," Ron also laughed. "Since you're here, of course you're here to watch our original film. At most, I will allow you not to express any opinions."

"Oh, it turned out to be a joke." Dean and the others were relieved.

Ron led everyone into the studio, first took everyone for a brief tour, and then took everyone to the movie screening room.

When everyone arrived at the screening room, there were already three people sitting in it. Under Ron's introduction, everyone also got to know the film's director Danny Gray, one of the producers Duran Waco and his son James Waco.

It is normal for Danny Gray and Duran Waco to appear here as directors and producers, and the reason why James Waco appears here is because he is one of the voice actors of the film, I happened to come over today to make up the dubbing of some clips. I heard that Ron took a fancy to a student band's work as the theme song, and this band even came to see the original film with his own eyes before selling the copyright. After finishing the supplementary dubbing work, he came with his father.

After greetings, everyone took their seats. Danny Gray beckoned, the lights in the projection room went out, and then the big screen in front of him lit up.

It was the first time to watch a movie that had not completed all post-production. Not only Xiao Yao, but other members of the band also felt very novel and watched it more seriously.

The movie is about a talented young fighter named John who has always dreamed of becoming an underground vigilante in the city, fighting all kinds of criminals in the city. By chance, he got acquainted with like-minded young partners who were also special talents, formed a juvenile vigilante team, and dispatched together to attack the criminals in the city.

These teenagers have mechanical geniuses, computer experts, driving geniuses, and data analysis experts. After being combined together, not only did they brainstorm and create many novel and jaw-dropping strange equipment including armor, weapons, vehicles, communication tools, etc., but also made many funny things that make people laugh.

In the initial stage of team formation, everything went well, and everyone successfully completed several missions against urban criminals. But different personalities also make them often have some frictions and conflicts in life and work.

After a mission failed, the people who blamed each other also had a concentrated outbreak of conflicts, and the entire team fell apart. Everyone started to fight on their own, but lost the support of their teammates. The few people who were good at certain aspects but very weak in other aspects were in a terrible situation. They were almost caught and killed by the criminals several times.

After learning from the pain, John first gave up his stubbornness and arrogance, and began to find the former team members one by one to open up and explain their problems, and expressed the desire to tolerate each other and work hard to get along. Finally, under his efforts, the juvenile vigilante team finally reunited into a team and successfully sent the leader of one of the largest criminal organizations in the city to prison.

The theme and context of the whole story are not new, but there are many commendable places in the details. Because it is an animated film, you can better use your imagination without being too constrained by the real thing, so just the various equipment with big brain holes is enough to make the audience amazed and feel extremely enjoyable.

At the same time, the whole movie portrays the inner feelings of the characters well, and there are constant jokes interspersed in the plot. Almost the whole movie arouses the emotions of the audience. The performance of several key plots in the plot is very exciting, the rhythm of the whole film is smooth, and the sensational plots are handled just right.

Xiao Yao couldn't help comparing this movie with "Big Hero 6" in his previous life, and found that apart from not being too cute, this movie seemed to be better than "Big Hero 6" in every aspect. Excellent, it seems that the so-called impact on the Oscars is really not empty talk.

In terms of the plot of the plot, the lyrics of "immortals" seem to be tailor-made for it.

"They say\\'be, i\\'mhebestway," first pointed out the character of the movie character.

"i\\', i\\'heguarddog, ofallyourfeverdreams," well expresses the original intention of the teenagers to be vigilantes.

"Withoutyoubutican\\'t,\\'urtainsdown," can be said to lovers, but also to team members, especially when regrouping after breaking up.

"lypayoff, foit\\'dagainandagain. everyday, i\\'hey\\'remysutures." It is a very good portrayal of the hearts of the young vigilante members.

So after watching this movie, Xiao Yao knew that "immortals" is the most suitable theme song for this movie. (To be continued.)
