Entertaining Children

After boarding the plane and sitting down, Xiao Yao's seat happened to be near the window. He casually looked out of the porthole of the plane, and Xiao Yao happened to see the scene of several baggagemen carrying the passengers' checked luggage. ? W㈧W㈧W㈧. ? 8? 1? Z (i) W (V). ⑴C?O?M Although Xiao Yao didn't see the scene of "Let the luggage fly" again this time, these luggage men still reminded Xiao Yao of his broken guitar.

On the night of arriving in New York, Xiao Yao sent a complaint email to the airline company. Later, because of Sun Tingting's case, Xiao Yao never cared about it. Now seeing these bellmen, thinking of his destroyed guitar, before the plane took off, Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone, opened his mailbox and checked the mail.

The complaint email was answered. It's just that the content of the airline's reply unsurprisingly dissatisfied Xiao Yao. In the email, the airline directly blamed the ground staff at London airport. However, according to Xiao Yao's understanding, the bellman at London Airport is also an employee of the airline, not an employee of the airport. Xiao Yao has already begun to feel a little bit of "kicking the ball". In desperation, Xiao Yao had no choice but to continue to write complaint emails, and at the same time sent them to the London airport and the airline, waiting for a reply.

When Xiao Yao came to the United States this time, he took two planes because of a connecting flight. As a result, the passengers on one plane suddenly fell ill, and there was even a prisoner robbery incident on the other plane, which was not very peaceful. During this third flight, there were finally no accidents. The plane took off from New York and landed in Los Angeles, and arrived very smoothly.

After leaving the airport in Los Angeles, Xiao Yao took Sun Tingting to the car rental office at the airport and rented a car for transportation. The driver's license and international driver's license he obtained in the summer emergency test finally came into play.

During the year as an international exchange student, Xiao Yao came to Los Angeles not too often, but not too many times, and almost every time he came was work-related. His own band's recording, helping the "Daydream" band's concert in Los Angeles, participating in the Oscars and participating in the National Hip-Hop Dance Competition with the Rapid Dance Company, it seems that they have not come here purely for fun. But even so, Xiao Yao has a considerable understanding of Los Angeles.

Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting had fun in Los Angeles for two days. The Avenue of Stars, Huaxia Theater, Los Angeles Museum of Art, Getty Center, and of course Disneyland and Disney Concert Hall. On the third day, the two set off to leave.

On the third day, Xiao Yao drove Sun Tingting from Los Angeles to Calabasas.

After arriving in Calabasas, the first stop of the two went to West Bridge Middle School where Xiao Yao used to study. West Bridge Middle School is also on summer vacation. There are no people in the school, but there are still no restrictions on entering and leaving. Xiao Yao took Sun Tingting around the school carefully, which can be regarded as a recollection of the study and life here last year.

Then I went to the "buy more" market where Xiao Yao used to work.

Over the past year, almost half of the employees in the city have changed, and Xiao Yao no longer knows many of them. However, the boss has not changed, and it is still the old Robert who is working hard. However, Old Robert was not in the store. Except for Zhou Jingyi, Xiao Yao was not very familiar with the other employees in the store. After a year, many people no longer remembered Xiao Yao, the Chinese kid who used to work here. So Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting just walked around the store roughly, bought a few things and left.

The last stop is Smith's house. Taking advantage of the summer vacation, Dean made an appointment with Mike and George to travel to Texas, but he was not at home, and Sammy hadn't come home yet. So Xiao Yao only saw Mrs. Smith and the little girl Irene.

For Xiao Yao's arrival, Mrs. Smith seemed very happy, and she was also very enthusiastic about the girlfriend Sun Tingting brought by Xiao Yao. Not only warmly kept the two of them for dinner, but also generously asked them to stay at home for one night. Just as their family had promised, the attic room Xiao Yao lived in last year was still kept as it was, except for occasionally going in to clean it, it was basically untouched.

If Xiao Yao came alone, he really wanted to stay in that room for another night, but with Sun Tingting, it seemed embarrassing for the two of them to squeeze into that single bed. Although Samien and Dean are not at home, it is obviously inappropriate for Xiao Yao to live in Dean's room or Sun Tingting to live in Samien's room. So the two just had dinner at Smith's house, chatted with Mrs. Smith, and took Sun Tingting to the attic room where Xiao Yao lived, and Xiao Yao said goodbye to Sun Tingting.

It was already night when the two left the Smith's house. After staying in a hotel in Calabasas for one night, they left Calabasas the next day.

When returning to Los Angeles from Calabasas, Xiao Yao took Sun Tingting to visit Keith Craig and Betty Bellett who lived in Beverly Hills. When Sun Tingting was suspected of murder and was taken away by the police, Keith Craig introduced Xiao Yao to a lawyer. Sun Tingting is fine now, and the lawyer can pay according to the standard, but for Keith Craig who introduced the lawyer, Xiao Yao feels that he still needs to thank him in person.

When the two arrived at Keith's villa, not only the couple were there, even their nine-year-old child, whom Xiao Yao had never seen before, was also at home.

After the meeting, Xiao Yao first introduced the couple and Sun Tingting to each other, and then thanked Keith Craig for helping him contact the lawyer. Keith Craig naturally said generously that you are welcome.

Xiao Yao had promised Keith Craig on the phone that he would thank him with a bottle of Huaxia wine and a song. This time when he came here, Xiao Yao didn't have any wine, so he told Keith that he would send the wine to him after he returned to China. There was a wine shop in the alley where his grandfather lived, and Xiao Yao often sneaked into the wine shop to play when he was a child. The owner of the wine shop who was a neighbor of Xiao Chengru for decades also liked Xiao Yao very much. Xiao Yao felt that it was not a big problem to get a good bottle of wine from that old man.

Although Keith Craig himself is not a heavy drinker, he is still very good at drinking, and Americans love handmade products more than those that come off the factory assembly line. When Xiao Yao said that he could get him a bottle of traditional Chinese liquor that had been hand-brewed by decades of brewers and had been cellared for ten years, those polite refusals suddenly became a little hard to say.

In addition to the wine, Xiao Yao also agreed to give Keith Craig a song. At that time, Xiao Yao was also in a state of anxiety and excitement when he called, but when he looked back and thought about this condition, he seemed a little arrogant. Keith Craig himself is also a creative musician. His band has been popular in the United States for longer than Xiao Yao's debut. The champion singles on the billboards have already reached double digits. Why do you say that people will definitely appreciate your own songs?

But fortunately Xiao Yao only said thank you with a song at the time, and didn't say it was for their "Daydream" band. Given that the "Immorta1s" band is now a band under Keith's banner, and this band was on the Oscar stage because of Xiao Yao's song, Xiao Yao told Keith Craig what he said on the phone The song is for "Immorta1s", and I asked him if he has any plans to release a new song for "Immorta1s" recently.

It is now the summer vacation, and the band members are all students. Considering that three of them are entering university this year, this summer vacation is of special significance. Keith Craig only let them practice for a month before giving them I have a holiday. Now three of them are in Texas, one is in New York, and all of them are traveling outside. How could there be any plans to release new songs for them recently? At least until their vacation is over. But Keith Craig did not let go of the song that Xiao Yao gave them. After all, the score of "ImmoRTaLs" is there, and speaking of it, Xiao Yao has not officially quit the band, and he is still a part of the band. member.

Xiao Yao felt that he should not casually talk about writing a song for "Daydream" and put the song on the head of the "Immorta1s" band. Unexpectedly, Keith Craig took the initiative to ask Xiao Yao for a song.

"Yang, I know you are very talented in music." After chatting about the "Immorta1s" song, Keith Craig took the initiative to say to Xiao Yao, "The song you wrote for "Immorta1s", we "white Daydream "Of course I won't grab it, but I have a problem now, I wonder if you can help me."

"What problem? Is it related to music?" Xiao Yao asked curiously. Even if he didn't help introduce the lawyer, just based on the friendship between the two, Xiao Yao would definitely help if he could. Just like even if Xiao Yao didn't say much about wine, songs, etc., Keith Craig would still be very enthusiastic about introducing lawyers to Xiao Yao.

"Here's the thing," Keith Craig began, "I have a good friend who is getting married tomorrow, and in order to surprise his good friend, he wants to invite our band as a mysterious The guest went to perform at his good friend's wedding. My friend and his friend are not in the entertainment industry, they are just helping out between friends, and the band members and I have no problem with it."

"But the problem is, we are a rock band, and there are no songs suitable for weddings, and sweet love songs are not my type." Keith Craig continued, "Since you are here, I want to know Do you have any songs that are suitable for the wedding occasion and suitable for the band to provide us?"

"Can't you sing songs from other bands?" Xiao Yao asked, "There should be quite a few love songs suitable for band performances, right?"

"This is my last choice," Keith Craig said. "This friend was my best friend in college. I want to do more for him. Sing a special song to his friend so that he can Reflecting the specialness of the couple, it seems that I am more attentive."

"You mean you want me to write a new song for you?" Xiao Yao confirmed.

"Yes, it's better to be a new song that hasn't been released before." Keith Craig nodded, "If the song is suitable, I will buy the commercial copyright of this song at the market price and put it in the album in the future , your name will be written on the songwriter."

"I won't talk about the price, just take it as my thanks for your help in introducing the lawyer." Xiao Yao waved his hand and said, "You said that the wedding is tomorrow, and in terms of rehearsal time...half a day is enough to practice a song, Anyway, it’s a live performance on a private occasion, not in a recording studio. Well, I promise you.”

"You really have it?" Keith Craig said happily, "Is it a previous work? How long will it take? Don't tell me you're starting to write it now."

"Anyway, it's a song that no one has heard before." Xiao Yao smiled, "Give me half an hour, let's go to your music room?"

"Okay, come upstairs with me." Keith Craig immediately stood up and said.

Seeing that her husband's troubles could be resolved, Betty Bellett was also very happy. Seeing that Xiao Yao and Keith Craig were going to the music room, they took the initiative to take care of Sun Tingting, and said to Sun Tingting with a smile: "Tiana, their men are going to write songs, why don't I take you shopping Well, there are many first-class brand stores in Beverly Hills."

"No need," Sun Tingting shook her head, looked at Keith Craig and said, "If possible, I also want to see what Yang's song suitable for weddings looks like."

"I forgot to introduce it just now," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "My girlfriend is also a music student. She is now a student at the Chambers Conservatory of Music, majoring in violin performance. Although she majors in classical music, she is also interested in popular music. Know well."

"Chambers? I didn't expect your girlfriend to be so powerful." Keith Craig gave a thumbs up. "In this case, let's go together. Betty, do you want to come?"

"Okay, let's go together." In fact, Betty Bellett usually listens to Keith Craig playing the piano and singing at home. Just now, she proposed to go shopping just because Sun Tingting would feel bored. Since Sun Tingting is also a music student , then let's go and listen to Xiao Yao's new song written for the band "Daydream".

After everyone arrived in the music room upstairs, Xiao Yao picked up a guitar and sat on a chair, set up a music stand in front of him, put a pen and paper, and memorized while playing and singing.

When it comes to the rock band singing at the wedding, the first thing Xiao Yao thinks of is the "sugar" sung by maroon5 in his previous life. maroon5 was originally a rock band, and the plot of the mV of this song is that the band raided various wedding venues, so this song undoubtedly met Keith Craig's requirements very well. It's just that this song is not the song that Xiao Yao listened to the most in this band in his previous life, and his impression is not particularly deep, so he needs to write down the lyrics and score while playing.
