Chapter 110 American Airlines Broke My Guitar

For six weddings, the MV material is enough, but after one day, the whole team was exhausted. The update is the fastest, so even though it was not too late when they left the last wedding, the whole team did not find another place to celebrate the results of successfully breaking into six weddings in one day. After packing up the equipment, everyone Disbanded on the spot, each went home to rest.

Although Xiao Yao, who was the on-site conductor the day before, was busy, he finally had a dance fight with the professional dancer's groom with great interest. Early the next morning, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting showed up at Keith Craig's house in good spirits.

For the previous day's operation, the two ladies Betty Bellett and Sun Tingting were not assigned specific tasks, but just followed them through the whole process, so they were in good spirits. When Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting rang the doorbell of Keith Craig's house, it was Betty Bellett who came out and opened the door. At this time, Keith Craig was still sleeping in bed.

But there were guests at home, and Xiao Yao must have come to discuss something with them, so Keith Craig had no choice but to get up.

"I had a busy day yesterday, and you came here so early, aren't you tired?" Keith Craig yawned after washing up, and greeted Xiao Yao listlessly.

Although Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting rejected their couple's invitation to live at home and were arranged by them in a hotel not far from their home in Beverly Hills, Keith Clay's arrival at the door so early in the morning still made Keith Clay Grid was a little surprised.

"Sorry for disturbing your rest." Xiao Yao said a little embarrassedly, "But I will return to China soon, but I still have things to do, so I have to hurry up."

"Is there anything else to do?" Betty Bellett brought a few cups of coffee from the kitchen, handing them to the three of them respectively, and said, "Is it about the post-production of the MV of your song?"

"Thank you," Xiao Yao, who took the coffee handed by Betty, nodded and thanked, then shook his head and said, "It's not about the post-production of that song's MV. "Daydream" has no official recording studio for that song yet." Version, without the official audio, the post-production cannot start at all. As I said, I will go back to Huaxia for school soon, and I don’t have time to help you with the post-production of the mv. Anyway, I have already told you the idea, and the material is also available. It’s already been filmed, wait for you to record the official version of the audio, and find a professional post-production team to do it slowly.”

"Then what else do you have to do?" Keith Craig drank a few sips of coffee and became more energetic, sat up straight and asked Xiao Yao.

"I have a song I want to make an MV," Xiao Yao said, "I want to ask you to help me find someone to form a shooting team. In Los Angeles, I know you best and you have a wide network, so I can only ask you for help .”

"Ahem~" Keith Craig and Betty Bellett, who were drinking coffee, were almost choked by Xiao Yao's words. They looked at him in surprise and said, "You're going to shoot another MV? Did we hear correctly? ?”

"No, you heard me right." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Actually, I came to Los Angeles this time to take my girlfriend to travel while she was on vacation. Their school gave her a one-week vacation. When her vacation is over, we will It’s almost time to go back to China. We’ve already spent two days in Los Angeles, stayed in Calabasas for another day, and then went to the wedding yesterday. In the remaining three days, she has no other places she wants to go in particular. We I plan to use the remaining three days to shoot an MV."

"Three days? Is it enough?" Keith Craig asked with a frown, "Our band has filmed quite a few MVs before, from pre-production to post-production, none of them can be completed in three days of.

"It's not three days, it's two and a half days. Today is the 27th, we will fly back to New York in the afternoon of the 29th at the latest, and Tiana will go back to school on the 30th." Xiao Yao corrected, "My plan is today. Finish the preparatory work, and complete the shooting of the material in the next day and a half. Post-production,

I can take it back to Huaxia and do it slowly by myself. My song will not be released and will not hit the charts. Both the song and the mv are released on the website for free. Therefore, the quality of the mv is not high. It can even be said that it is not an official mv, but just a song video. We were able to shoot the video materials needed for the MV of "Sugar" in one day yesterday, so it should be no problem to shoot the materials for my video in one and a half days. "

"If you don't release it or hit the charts, just shoot a video for free for netizens to watch. What are you trying to do?" Keith Craig looked at Xiao Yao suspiciously and said, "What song is that? Can I listen to it first? ?”

"Of course," Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, "I need a guitar."

This time, Keith Craig didn't invite everyone to go to the music room. He went upstairs and got an acoustic guitar for Xiao Yao, planning to sit comfortably on the sofa in the living room and listen.

"My song is called "American Airlines Broke My Guitar". I just wrote it last night." Xiao Yao took the guitar and introduced it a little.

"What does the title of this song mean?" Keith Craig and Betty Bellett both stared. Listening to the title of this song, Xiao Yao is trying to make trouble?

"That's what the song title says." Sun Tingting on the side smiled and said, "You will know after listening."

Xiao Yao took the guitar and plucked the strings to test the sound, and then waved his fingers to play. The tune is simple, but smooth and beautiful. As soon as Keith Craig listened to it, he found that the song had a taste of American country music.

"I took a plane from Yanjing to New York and stopped in London. A little girl next to me said to her mother, "Mom, look, what are they doing?" The mother saw With a glance, he exclaimed, "My God, is this how they carry luggage? "I looked out the window of the plane and saw that the movement of the luggage on the ground was horrible, they were throwing the suitcases, and all the luggage seemed to be flying in the sky"

"What is this song about?" Keith Craig and Betty Bellett looked at each other.

"American Airlines broke the guitar!"

As the last chord was swept, Xiao Yao smiled and looked at the two people sitting opposite him and asked, "How is it?"

"You mean, what you sang in your song is all true?" Keith Craig looked at Xiao Yao and said.

"Of course," Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone, called up the video and photo interface, and handed it to Keith Craig. "I'll show you a video and some photos."

While they were watching, Xiao Yao also began to explain: "This video was taken when I came to New York and was transiting in London. Several American Airlines baggage handlers were brutally manipulating passengers' checked luggage. Those few photos The photo is of what I saw when I arrived in New York, picked up my luggage, and opened my checked guitar case."

"You mean, American Airlines' bellman broke your guitar because of his brutal operation?" Betty Bellett looked at Xiao Yao and asked, "Did you not complain?"

"Of course there are complaints." Xiao Yao said, "In fact, I have not only written complaint letters, but also made many complaint calls. However, American Airlines' New York branch, London branch and London airport have always been They are shirking each other’s responsibilities. I know that the bellman is an employee of American Airlines, so the complaint letters and complaint calls are mainly from American Airlines. But after so many days, American Airlines is responsible for compensation, not to mention taking responsibility. Reply to There was not even an apology in my email. There is no way, I can only use my own way to get their attention."

"Originally, I wanted to take the legal route to sue American Airlines." Xiao Yao continued, "Through the criminal lawyer Ms. Veronica Quinn you introduced to me, I found a businessman from their law firm I consulted with a lawyer. The lawyer told me that in the United States, litigation with large companies is a protracted war and a war of attrition. No matter whether you win or lose in the end, it will be a very long process. Broken. I'm not an American, and I can't stay in the United States for a long time to spend with them."

"Then I thought, why not do it in the way I am best at? What am I best at? Writing songs! So I wrote this song last night." Xiao Yao continued, "American Airlines is Giant listed companies, they need to maintain their image in the eyes of the public. As long as this song spreads on the Internet, I don’t believe that American Airlines can still maintain this superior attitude. In order to make this song spread better, I have to Make a video of it that also tells the story and post it online along with the song."

After returning to the hotel last night, it was not too late, and Xiao Yao did follow up on his complaint that the guitar was damaged. The results obtained are still unsatisfactory, and the airline is still trying to shirk. An angry Xiao Yao suddenly remembered that a similar thing had happened in his previous life.

In the previous life, a guitar from a Canadian musician was broken when he checked in on a plane because of the savage operation of the baggage man. After nine months of unsuccessful claims, he wrote a song and made a music video to upload online. The video quickly became popular on the Internet and gained an unimaginable amount of hits in just a few days. The huge social influence it produced even caused the stock price of the airline to fall, and the airline finally had to bow its head and admit its mistake under the pressure of public opinion.

Since the Canadian musician in his previous life could do it, Xiao Yao believed that he could do the same. Even if it wasn't for compensation, he had to give it up no matter what. But Xiao Yao didn't have the patience of the Canadian musician in his previous life to spend nine months defending his rights. So, Xiao Yao wrote that song that night. The song title, musical style and melody are all borrowed from the song of the Canadian musician in his previous life. Because Xiao Yao’s place of departure, transit, destination, and the passengers who reminded him are all different from the Canadian musician in his previous life. It is impossible to drive from London to the United States, so Xiao Yao can’t copy the song. I just rewrote the lyrics with my own scriptures.

After listening to Xiao Yao's new song, Sun Tingting also knew about it. When she learned that Xiao Yao still had plans to make a video, Sun Tingting immediately expressed that she didn't want to travel to other places to relax, and supported Xiao Yao to shoot this video first.

So Xiao Yao decided to take advantage of these two days to shoot this video. After all, it is an American airline, and the flight attendants on the flight and the Morton mother and daughter beside them are all Americans, so it would be better to find Americans to shoot on American soil.

"This is something to do!" Keith Craig and Betty Bellett thought excitedly.

In America, the story of David and Goliath in the Bible is one of many people's favorite stories. Although Keith and Betty are big stars, in front of them, an airline is still as big as Goliath in front of David. So after hearing Xiao Yao's plan, both of them immediately expressed their support.

"Sounds very interesting, we want to join. In addition to the filming team, you also need actors? We can play for free." The couple said to Xiao Yao enthusiastically. (To be continued.)
