Entertaining Children

  Chapter 1281 Live PK?

"Why are you looking at me?" Xiao Yao noticed the gazes of Nicky Thompson and Cordy Scott, and said in his heart, "This is a music awards ceremony, and the nominees are all major American singers. Musicians, who can’t give a show? There are more than 20 groups of star musicians nominated this year, and there are fewer than 10 groups of performers. I am not even a guest at the ceremony. Why can't I be my turn?"

  Nicky Thompson and Cordy Scott seemed to have taken this into consideration. At this time, they just looked at Xiao Yao and did not speak to David Green.

"Then contact a nominated star guest again!" David Green said, "At this time, it should be too late to rehearse tonight. I can arrange a separate rehearsal for the alternate performance tomorrow afternoon. "

  Sure enough, David Green’s first reaction was to find someone to save the field from among the nominated star guests. Being a guest performer means that there will be one more time at the awards ceremony, several minutes of footage, under normal circumstances, the star should be willing.

"This method can't work!" The young man with a work card shook his head, "The nominated celebrities are all very famous, with a lot of endorsements, and the schedule is very full. You know, LV is a famous shopping paradise, here There are many luxury stores. Many stars who have not been assigned performance tasks will have other activities during the day tomorrow. Let alone let them prepare for the show, I am afraid that there will be no time for rehearsal."

   "Are the big American stars busy?" Xiao Yao glanced at Nicky Thompson not far away, and thought a little strangely, "That one seems to have been playing here for at least a week!"

   "What should I do?" David Green asked.

  "I have a suggestion," said the young man. "Aren't we the celebrity guests at this awards ceremony? I think we can find someone to be a guest performer among those people and give a show at the awards ceremony tomorrow night."

   "Those celebrity guests are also celebrities, do any of them have time?" David Green asked.

  "Yes," the young man nodded, "I heard that the Korean group BTBS is coming to rehearsal tonight. It is here now. I think they can do it! If they want, they can rehearse tonight!"

  Speaking of the young man, the seven BTBS and their agent just walked in.

"Miss Thompson!" Agent John Lee brought seven people over to greet Nicky Thompson, and then bowed slightly to David Green, "Mr. Green, as I said before, the kids come and watch. Miss Thompson dress rehearsal, if it disturbs your work, please forgive me."

   "It's okay," David Green waved his hand and said, "Mr. Li, I am glad you are here. We have a problem now, and we need your help..."

"Wait!" Nicky Thompson interrupted, "David, if you really need to add a performance temporarily, I suggest you invite Young to be a guest performer! He is here for LV vacation, and he is here these few days. There is no work arrangement, very free."

   "I agree!" Cordy Scott also said, "I also think that Yang is more suitable as a guest performer!"

  Xiao Yao's refusal to perform with them at this award ceremony does not mean that Xiao Yao will not perform at the award ceremony. Xiao Yao's reason for rejecting them was that the people in the Immortals band thought he disliked them and went on to pan Gaozhi. Then Xiao Yao as a guest performer alone should have no problems in this regard. Because the Immortals band has also been a guest performer at the bulletin board awards ceremony before, it's not that Xiao Yao has the chance to stand on that stage only if he leaves the band.

   "What? What are you talking about?" The young man in front of David Green was taken aback, "Young? Who is that?"

   "Chris, don't you know Jan Xiao?" David Green smiled and pointed to Xiao Yao on the side.

It was rehearsal time. The lights in the upper area of ​​the auditorium were not very bright. When the young man named Chris came in, he recognized Cordy Sco who was sitting next to David Green in the auditorium. Te and Nicky Thompson, who is not far from David Green, ignore the people around Cordy Scott. Originally, he thought the two people sitting next to Cordy Scott were members of his team.

   "Hello, I am Yang Xiao, from China!" Xiao Yao smiled and stood up when Chris looked towards him.

   "Hua Xia? Are you that Yang Xiao?" Chris asked in surprise.

   "Young, this is Chris Robertson, who is mainly responsible for coordinating the work of contacting the stars. He doesn't know you are here tonight!" David Green explained to the introduction tape.

"Chris, Young is the stage director hired by the Nicky team to help Nicky perfect the stage performance," David Green said to Chris Robertson, "He is not a star guest at the awards ceremony, just to see Nicky rehearsals, so I didn’t tell you!"

   "That's it," Chris Robertson nodded suddenly, and then said to David Green, "Since Young is not attending the awards ceremony, we can't ask him to be a guest performer on stage, right?"

"No," Nicky Thompson said, "Young didn't plan to come to the awards ceremony before, because he felt that the candidates and procedures for the awards ceremony had been determined, and he didn't want to trouble the organizers to make adjustments for him. Now Hopson is sick. I can’t come to the awards ceremony anymore. A place is available. We can just invite Yang to be the guest of honor and performer!"

   "But Hopson is the nominee, and his location area is different from that of the guests." Chris Robertson said.

"This is not a problem," Nicky Thompson said. "Although the two are in different areas, the two areas are connected. Move some nominees' seats and move the empty seats from the nominees' area to the guests. We have not received the seat map for tomorrow night. You can re-arrange your seats. I don’t think there will be a problem, what do you think?”

   "This..." Chris Robertson hesitated.

  "I also agree," David Green said. "Chris, one more star is good for ratings, not to mention that Yang's popularity in the United States is not low."

   "Hey, you guys are so lively, have you asked me? Did I agree?" Xiao Yao looked at a few people in surprise, and murmured in his heart.

  However, Xiao Yao thought so in his heart, so he couldn't say that directly. Just as Xiao Yao considered the language and was about to speak, the John Li on the side spoke first.

"We also think it is a very good idea to invite Mr. Xiao to be the guest of the ceremony." John Li looked at Xiao Yao, "However, Mr. Xiao is here on vacation. I wonder if you are ready to perform on stage? Yes, the guest performers at the Bulletin Board Awards Ceremony are generally performing songs that he has been on the bulletin board charts in the past year. Mr. Xiao has not been active in the United States for more than a year, and there seems to be no work in the past year. Have you been on any of the bulletin board leaderboards, right?"

  John Lee was very happy when he came in, but since Nicky Thompson and Cordy Scott spoke, his face became darker unconsciously.

  Korea and China are similar in some places. When it comes to movies, there are still a few people who can be considered international, but when it comes to music, they are relatively few. Sky Park Dae Sung can be regarded as the most popular Korean music artist in Europe and the United States in this century. Although he once helped BTBS's development in the United States with his personal connections, he has basically disappeared in recent years.

John Lee is a Korean American who has been working in the United States for a long time. He didn’t have any special feelings for Xiao Yao, but after coming out of Nicky Thompson’s lounge, BTBS told them and Sky Park Dacheng and Xiao Yao’s During the festival, he was very fond of Xiao Yao. Because BTBS also told John Lee that Park Dacheng publicly apologized to a young Chinese entertainer on the show and was beaten in the face. The impact on him was not small.

John Lee was unhappy with Xiao Yao, but after listening to Nicky Thompson and David Green, he also knew that it was useless to speak against Xiao Yao as a guest attending the awards ceremony, so he focused on the performers. . This opportunity to be a guest performer was the company did a lot of things with him, and spent a lot of thought to arrange for BTBS. I didn't want others to **** it, let alone Xiao Yao.

"The bulletin board awards ceremony does not have this rule?" Nicky Thompson looked at David Green, "Yang has some works that have achieved very good results on the bulletin board. Although it has been a little longer, they have already been off the list. But as a performance repertoire, it’s still great!"

"Yes!" Cordy Scott also nodded, "For example, "Perfect", he only performed once during the intermission of the Masters, and then he did not perform publicly in the United States. That The effect on the second celebrity tournament is very good, I believe that on the stage of the bulletin board, the effect will be very good too!"

   "However, the timeliness of the bulletin board is relatively strong," Chris Robertson interrupted. "Although there is no clear regulation, it is true that very few singers perform old songs!"

"Who said I didn't have any works on the bulletin board in the past year?" Xiao Yao looked at John Lee and smiled. "Don't you know that I also have a stage name called YS? That's what I use to distribute movies. Audio works. I released two electronic music singles in the first half of this year, "Monody" and "Unity", both of which have achieved good results on the bulletin board electronic music charts. Isn't the electronic music chart counted as bulletin board? List?"

  At the beginning of this year, when Xiao Yao participated in the electronic music program of Haiyan Video, he made two electronic music works. Later, both electronic music songs were officially released. Xiao Yao has published a lot of English songs, and a regular US record company acts as a partner for the distribution of his songs in North America. Xiao Yao's two electronic songs are both in English, and naturally they are also released in the United States.

Although Xiao Yao himself did not come to the United States to promote any singles, the two electronic music works were on the bulletin board electronic music charts under the condition that the conventional advertising methods of the US record company and the quality of the songs themselves were good enough and attractive enough. Still have achieved good results.

  "Monody" and "Unity"? I remember!" David Green suddenly asked Xiao Yao, "Do you want to perform one of those two electronic songs at the awards ceremony?"

Although Xiao Yao did not win the Billboard Best Electronic Song and Best Electronic Producer nomination for those two electronic music songs this year, based on the results of those two songs, David Green felt that any of them was The repertoire of the awards ceremony is absolutely adequate.

   "No," Xiao Yao shook his head, "I just told Mr. Li that I had works on the bulletin board in the past year, not that I would perform one of them on the stage of the awards ceremony."

  "Do you want to perform old songs?" David Green was surprised, ""Perfect"?"

"I agree with Nicky and Cordy's statement that the Bulletin Board Awards Ceremony did not require the performers to perform the works listed on the bulletin board in the past year." Xiao Yao laughed, "I have a habit, or Speaking of hobbies, it is to perform a brand new work in public. If I agree to your invitation and temporarily become a guest performer, I wonder if you will allow me to perform a new song that has not yet been released?"

   Xiao Yao obviously felt that the BTBS agent was not very friendly towards him, and at the same time, he also noticed that they were very concerned about the opportunity to perform as a guest. Under such circumstances, Xiao Yao, who was also a little unhappy with them, naturally had to come out to fight. However, even if he expressed his willingness to be a performing guest and wanted to fight for this performance opportunity, Xiao Yao was not just a promise. He had to follow the other side and fully demonstrated his personality.

   "Mr. Xiao, do you want to use the bulletin board award ceremony as your new song release stage?" John Lee said.

   "Can't it?" Xiao Yao smiled, "They need a performance. I will give them a performance. As long as the live effect is good enough, what does it have to do with the new song?"

  "A new song without any foundation, how to ensure the live effect?" John Lee said.

   "My name is the guarantee!" Xiao Yao said domineeringly, "I often perform new songs in public, and no live effect is bad!"

   "Ha!" John Lee laughed.

"I believe in Young." Cordy Scott said to David Green. "Think about the Masters that year. When Young sang "Perfect", that song hadn't been released yet. It was a brand new one. Song. You should know how effective it was at that time!"

   "Cordie, you have mentioned "Perfect" three times," Xiao Yao laughed, "How do you like that song?"

"I like it very much!" Cody Scott laughed. "You may not know that I was in the audience of the Masters, and my wife was sitting next to me. It happened to be Valentine's Day, and she listened. That song of you is too intoxicated."

"I remember that the Masters of that year happened to be Valentine's Day, and the song Yang sang happened to be another love song! That time was quite special, I don't think it has much reference value." Chris Robertson said, "If Yang insists For singing new songs, I think it’s better to invite BTBS to perform. At least their works have been publicly performed in the first half of the year. The atmosphere on the scene is very good, and the effect can be guaranteed."

David Green looked down and thought for a while, then looked up and said: "In fact, what kind of performance will be and what effect, we, professionals who have been in the industry for many years, can predict a little. Since Chris recommends BTBS, Nicky and Cole Di recommends Yang. It’s better for you to perform separately on the stage. After we watched it, whoever performed better, we would ask whoever to replace Hopson as the guest performer."

"Live PK? I agree!" Xiao Yao said, "But as I said, what I want to perform is a new song that has not been released yet. In fact, that song has only the score and lyrics, it has not been recorded, and there is no accompaniment. Music. I need musicians and I need time to practice with musicians."

"Yes!" David Green said, "Today is the original rehearsal for the performers. Now the rehearsal is not over. I will continue with the rehearsal. You can find a place to rehearse with the musicians. In addition to this performance hall, There are other suitable rehearsal places in this hotel. As for the musicians and instruments, I can’t arrange them for you, but Cordy’s musicians and instruments are all brought by himself. I believe he should be very willing to help you! "

   "Of course!" Cordy Scott said to Xiao Yao, "I also want to see what your new song looks like."

   "Thank you," Xiao Yao smiled, "but I can tell you in advance, it won't be like "Perfect"!"

   "But," said David Green, "the preparation time I can give you is probably less than two hours. After our rehearsal is all over, you have to perform, okay?"

"Two hours? Isn’t it too little?" Cordy Scott said, "Young’s song hasn’t been recorded yet, which means it hasn’t been arranged yet. It’s okay for me to lend him someone, but these people It’s the first time to work with Yang. It’s the first time to work together and cultivate a tacit understanding! Two hours to arrange music and rehearse. Isn’t it too stressful? I think tomorrow afternoon will be better. If they practice well, they won’t. Rehearsal is needed again."

   "It's okay!" Xiao Yao said, "I have thoughts about the arrangement. As long as the musicians are professional enough, two hours should be enough. I believe that the musicians you hire must be very professional, so there is no problem."

   "Okay, that's it!" David Green said, "I will arrange for a staff member to help you find a place to rehearse. When the rehearsal on my side is over, I will send someone to notify you!"
