Entertaining Children

"So, Xiao Yao is the captain of our North District Celebrity Team this time!" Yi Yang finally said, "Do you have any comments?"

"No!" Everyone turned to look at Xiao Yao, and shook their heads.

The Huaxia Masters this time is the same as the NBA Masters. Both teams have to choose a captain. During the game, the captain will be the last to play. Referring to the Masters of the NBA, the captain will not choose a former professional player in the team, and most of them will be the most popular performing stars on both teams.

Although Xiao Yao is not very old in the North District team, his reputation is definitely top-notch. Everyone has long been mentally prepared for Yi Yang to choose Xiao Yao as the captain. At this time, Yi Yang said this, meaning that apart from the consideration of fame, he also had technical and tactical reasons for choosing Xiao Yao. If you really want to consider these two aspects comprehensively, there is no one better than Xiao Yao in the team, and everyone will naturally not refute.

"Let's do some basic exercises of running, shooting and passing first to see everyone's basic skills, then we will play in teams to test everyone's performance in confrontation, and finally I will design some simple offensive routines for you. Play as much as possible tomorrow to make the game more exciting." Seeing that no one objected, Yi Yang began to arrange the training session.

"Yes!" The players said in unison.

In the next training session, Xiao Yao didn't perform too well. For example, everyone knows that Xiao Yao can dunk, but during running practice, Xiao Yao always lays up honestly, without a single dunk. However, through the previous few practice subjects, everyone can still see that Xiao Yao's basketball skills are indeed very good. Whether layup, shooting or passing, the movements are very standard and beautiful, and they are completed very well. Another point is that Xiao Yao's performance during training is very stable, and he rarely makes any mistakes.

Later, when Yi Yang explained the offensive tactics to everyone, not counting the retired former professional player, Xiao Yao was the one who understood the fastest among the non-professional players. In the end, Xiao Yao, like the retired professional player, became Yi Yang's assistant coach and began to help others explain and practice the coordination of those offensive tactics.

The duration of this training session is two hours. Two hours later, when everyone was almost done practicing, Yi Yang gathered everyone together and announced the end of the training session: "Okay, today's training is over, thank you for your hard work! I hope everyone will have a wonderful performance tomorrow, Win the team from the South District!"

"Thank you, Director Yi!" Everyone said to Yi Yang with a smile.

"Xiao Yao, since you are the captain, shouldn't you show it?" Fang Qing asked Xiao Yao.

"How do you say that?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Now the training is over,

As the team leader, shouldn't you be the host, get everyone together for a meal, and keep in touch with each other? "Fang Qing said.

"Well, everyone is a big star and a busy person. Is there nothing else to do after training?" Xiao Yao asked.

"No, no! As long as you, the captain, treat guests, we will definitely go!" The others laughed and said.

They are all celebrities, and there are a lot of announcements on a daily basis. It is true that people are very busy, but tomorrow is the celebrity game, and today's training session is in the afternoon, and no one has any activity announcements after today's training session. .

Through this training session, everyone basically approved from the bottom of their hearts Yi Yang's arrangement of choosing Xiao Yao as the captain and the core of the field. And through Xiao Yao's selfless pass time after time during training, everyone has a good impression of him, and they don't mind further contact with him.

"It's not a problem to entertain guests," Xiao Yao said with a bitter face, "but I still have something to do!"

"Do you have something else to do?" Fang Qing was surprised, then smiled, "Is it a private matter?"

Although Xiao Yao has an agent, he always decides whether to take the job or not. This is not a secret in the circle. Fang Qing is an actor and knows about this. Tomorrow is the Masters, and it is already past four o'clock in the afternoon. Even artists like them who are controlled by the company and their agents were not arranged to announce their itinerary after the training. She didn't believe that Xiao Yao, who made his own decisions, would arrange work for himself at this time.

"It's not a personal matter, it's work." Xiao Yao said, "I'm going to the stadium to rehearse later!"

"Rehearsal? Isn't our rehearsal tomorrow morning?" Fang Qing asked strangely.

"It's a performance rehearsal!" Xiao Yao said.

"Performance rehearsal?" Fang Qing was surprised, "What? You are still a guest performer? Your name is obviously not on the performance list!"

"It's not on the list, but I do exist," Xiao Yao said, "I ask the organizer not to announce it!"

"Being both a player and a performer, you are really busy!" Fang Qing laughed.

"Then when will you perform?" Yi Yang also asked very interestedly, "The rookie game the day after tomorrow or the main game the day after tomorrow? Don't tell me it's the Masters game tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow's Masters Tournament, I will perform at halftime." Xiao Yao said, "But don't worry, the halftime performance will not affect my performance in the game."

The last halftime performance at the Masters, Xiao Yao discussed with Bielsa in advance. For this performance, Xiao Yao didn't plan to go back to the dressing room to change his performance costumes, so he didn't specifically notify the coach Yi Yang in advance.

"The halftime performance of the celebrity game, isn't that your girlfriend's performance time?" Fang Qing said, "You want to sing with your girlfriend?"

"No, when she sings, I will accompany her live with the guitar!" Xiao Yao said.

"Just playing the guitar for the accompaniment? That's okay, it shouldn't have any effect." Yi Yang nodded.

"Director Yi, don't worry, I'm fine!" Xiao Yao said, "I sang during the halftime break at the Masters, and in the end I helped my team win the game!"

Xiao Yao still didn't say that he was going to perform alone, but in order to avoid any opinions when Yi Yang finds out tomorrow and cut down his playing time in the second half, he still reminded him in advance.

"It's not good to delay the rehearsal, so why not change the dinner party to after tomorrow's game?" Fang Qing said.

"How about this?" Xiao Yao thought for a while, and said, "It won't take too long for my rehearsal. It's still early, you go find a place to play first, and I'll go find you after my rehearsal is over. You guys Don't leave too early, wait for me to pay the bill!"

Xiao Yao's performance doesn't need any cooperation, the main thing is to try the live audio equipment in the past, and it doesn't take too long.

"Then you bring your girlfriend along!" Fang Qing said, "Anyway, you are accompaniment to her, and you are rehearsing together, so just come here together when it's over."

"Okay!" Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "If she can come, I will bring her along."

"Okay, then it's done! We'll send you the address after we find the place, and we'll wait for you two to come!" Fang Qing said.

"Okay, that's it!" Xiao Yao made an OK gesture.

Sun Tingting's rehearsal was completed in the morning. In order to prevent Sun Tingting from knowing that he was going to perform at halftime, Xiao Yao deliberately did not rehearse with Sun Tingting, but asked the organizer to arrange the rehearsal time for his solo performance after the training session.

In the training class in the afternoon, Sun Tingting originally wanted to come with Xiao Yao and watch their training from the sidelines. Xiao Yao persuaded her to rest in the hotel and wait for him to train because he felt sorry for her hard rehearsal in the morning and didn't want to show her affection in front of her teammates. Then go back to accompany her, so that she can use the time after training to go to the gym to complete her rehearsal. At this time, Sun Tingting was not in the gymnasium. Xiao Yao was afraid that his teammates would ask about the rehearsal in the afternoon, and it was impossible to pick up Sun Tingting to go to the party after the rehearsal. He could only lie and say that Sun Tingting could not come.

Although this lie is easy to be exposed, as long as Sun Tingting is not allowed to know about it before the halftime break of tomorrow's game, Xiao Yao's goal will be achieved, and it will be meaningless whether this lie will be exposed. Xiao Yao is still very confident in keeping this lie until the halftime break of tomorrow's game.

After saying goodbye to his teammates, Xiao Yao rushed to the venue for tomorrow's game alone. On the way to the venue, Xiao Yao sent a message to Sun Tingting to tell her teammates that they had to have dinner together after training, and they could only go back at night, and let Sun Tingting arrange the activities by herself.

Xiao Yao believes that with Sun Tingting's character, if she didn't take the initiative to mention it, she would not propose to join these unfamiliar people. Not long after the message was sent, Xiao Yao received a reply from Sun Tingting. Sure enough, Sun Tingting did not ask to participate together, but just reminded him that there would be a competition tomorrow and told him not to drink too much.

After the rehearsal was over, Xiao Yao rushed to the meeting place sent by Fang Qing. After meeting everyone, Sun Tingting was tired from the rehearsal, she had to perform tomorrow, and she needed to stay in shape.

These people didn't have any personal relationship with Sun Tingting, so if Sun Tingting didn't come, it wouldn't be considered rude, at most it would give everyone a more reserved and shy impression, and everyone didn't care too much.

Many of these people met privately for the first time today, and this gathering was just an ordinary social activity to enhance their relationship and expand their network. There will be a competition tomorrow night, and there will be some activities arranged by the organizer during the day, so this dinner party was not too noisy, and it didn't last very long, and it broke up before it was too late.

There was nothing to do in the morning of the second day. In the afternoon, the players had a rehearsal for the appearance ceremony, and then some stars took this opportunity to conduct some fan meetings and media interviews. Some of these activities are arranged by the organizers, and some are organized by the star's brokerage companies and teams themselves. Xiao Yao didn't engage in these tricks, and went back to the hotel to rest after the rehearsal for the ceremony, recharging his energy and recharging his energy for the evening.

The players in the Masters Tournament are mainly entertainment stars, so this is not only a basketball game, but also an entertainment event. The start time of the Masters is in the evening, but this time there is a red carpet ceremony for the Masters, and the red carpet ceremony starts in the evening.

The time and location of the Masters Tournament have been announced long ago, and the red carpet show before the game has also been announced long ago. During the red carpet show, many media reporters and a lot of celebrity fans and audience gathered outside the red carpet. Every time a star appears on the red carpet, fans cheer and scream.

Although Xiao Yao didn't let Sun Tingting go to training with him on the grounds that he didn't want to show his affection to his teammates, but at the red carpet show, he still generously pulled Sun Tingting to walk with him.

Xiao Yao's popularity alone is high enough. At this time, when the two walked the red carpet together, the audience and fans outside the red carpet were naturally more excited. The screams were almost the highest in the audience, and even scared some people. The reporter jumped.

Of course, the reporters who will be scared are basically new sports reporters or entertainment reporters.

Everyone knows that Xiao Yao is very well-known, but the high popularity is not the same as the number of fans at the scene, and the popularity at the scene.

Looking around, the fans and audience outside the red carpet basically couldn't see the cheering light board holding Xiao Yao's name, and there were very few cheering objects with Sun Tingting's name, so some people would have Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting. There are not many fans at the scene , The illusion of low popularity. But the veteran entertainment reporters who really know the situation in the industry know that Xiao Yao has always been opposed to fans' on-site support, and he doesn't like fans spending money to buy support items. Xiao Yao's fans did not take any support items with Xiao Yao's logo on the scene. From this, it is impossible to judge the number and popularity of Xiao Yao's fans at the scene, and they all seemed relatively calm about it.

The red carpet show had an on-site interview session hosted by an off-site host. After Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting signed their names on the sign-in board, they were naturally dragged by the out-field host to do a brief interview.

January is still winter, and most places are still very cold. The outdoor red carpet show is definitely a test for stars, especially female stars in thin dresses. But fortunately, this year's All-Star Weekend was held in Yangcheng in the south of China. The temperature in Yangcheng is still around ten degrees in the evening today, which is not too difficult for a female star in a dress. Xiao Yao wasn't too worried that Sun Tingting would be frozen, so he was quite patient during the interview on the red carpet.

During the interview, Xiao Yao was unsurprisingly asked about his thoughts on MVP. Even Zhuo Zhiyuan, who was the strongest basketball player in the past few years, behaved extremely low-key this time, and Xiao Yao thought that he had handled the relationship with his teammates in a relatively proper way, so he still gave a team honor very modestly. The "official" statement is bigger than personal honor.

Zhuo Zhiyuan was the only one who kept a low profile. Among the stars who have walked the red carpet before, except for those who know that their basketball skills are not good and some stars who look hopeless from the body, as long as they can play basketball, no matter whether it is Xiao Yao’s opponents or teammates, they will not give up. Taboo expressed his desire and confidence in the MVP in the interview. In this link where many celebrities show their "character", Xiao Yao has very little "character" abnormally, but it is also a manifestation of a distinctive personality.

Of course, Xiao Yao is so modest and has no idea about MVP, it may also be because there are some things he doesn't need to say himself. When the outfield host asked about Sun Tingting next to Xiao Yao, Sun Tingting bluntly said that Xiao Yao is the best player in basketball, and expressed his confidence in Xiao Yao's winning the MVP without hesitation, making the outfield host smile I sighed like being caught off guard and being fed a handful of dog food.

The exclamation of the outfield host also received an enthusiastic response from the onlookers outside the red carpet.

"This is called spreading dog food? What about the intermission?" Xiao Yao thought to himself looking at the fans who were yelling.

After the off-site interview, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting entered the venue.

After entering the gymnasium, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting had to change clothes, so they temporarily separated.

After Xiao Yao entered the locker room, he quickly changed into a jersey and put on a jumper. He took out a small box from the pocket of the changed dress, held it in his hand, and quickly ran into the venue for the game.

The game was broadcast simultaneously on TV and the Internet. The TV broadcaster was CCTV's sports channel, and the live webcast was obtained by Haiyan Video. Whether it is CCTV or Haiyan Video, they have arranged reporters to do on-site interviews in the venue.

At this time, there is still some time before the start of the game, but there are already some spectators in the auditorium. Some celebrities who came in after walking the red carpet in front changed their clothes and came to the venue, some sat on the bench and chatted, some took a basketball to warm up there, and some reporters took advantage of this time to find someone to come in The stars were doing pre-match interviews, and the scene seemed a bit noisy.

When Xiao Yao came in, an on-site reporter from Haiyan Video happened to see it, so he stopped in front of him and wanted to interview.

"Sorry, wait a minute!" Xiao Yao waved his hand, passed the reporter, and ran quickly into the arena.

The reporter looked back in surprise, and found that Xiao Yao didn't greet his teammates, but ran directly to the auditorium.

"Zhao Rui? Their relationship is really good!" The reporter followed Xiao Yao's figure for a while, and found that the auditorium where Xiao Yao went was in the second row, and the people in the seats were also celebrities, so he couldn't help laughing in his heart road.

Zhao Rui and others also came to watch Xiao Yao's game, but they were neither team members nor guest performers, so they entered the arena early without walking the red carpet. They are Xiao Yao's friends, and they took Xiao Yao's family and friend tickets, and they were seated in the second row behind the bench.

"Here, put it away, hide it!" Xiao Yao quietly stuffed the small box in his hand to Zhao Rui, and said in a low voice, "Don't be discovered by Duo'er in advance!"

"Don't worry!" Zhao Rui took the small box, stuffed it into the inner pocket of his jacket, reached out and pressed it, "I can't lose it, and I won't let Duoer find out in advance!"

Sun Tingting was a performer, not a player, and her seat was also in the audience, and she was arranged to be with Zhao Rui and the others. Sun Tingting was wearing a dress when she walked the red carpet, and she didn't change it so quickly. Xiao Yao hurriedly changed clothes and ran into the arena, just to catch up with Zhao Rui before Sun Tingting came in.
