Entertaining Children

  Chapter 142 Preparation

  Yanjing Second Middle School where Xiao Yao is located has a total of eight classes. The format of the freshman basketball game is to divide the eight classes into two groups with four teams in each group. Perform a single round group stage first, and take the top two to enter the knockout round. The top four will fight in the form of first pair second and second pair first. The winner then decides the championship and the second place, and the loser competes for the third place. name.

  From the perspective of the completeness of the competition system, it still looks like that. But, are there any high school students playing basketball well? Have! Is the high school basketball game exciting and beautiful? That may not be necessary.

  In the first group match, Xiao Yao’s second class was against the next class. At the end of the game, the score was 46 to 28. This score was so low that it almost caught up with the score of the female team game Xiao Yao watched in his previous life in college.

  Although the game won, although Xiao Yao scored 16 points, almost one-third of the team's score. But Xiao Yao's enthusiasm for the entire freshman basketball game has faded a lot.

   Actually speaking, it is normal. Schools like Yanjing No. 2 Middle School, which are known for their high enrollment rate, have no chance of formal basketball games. During the entire junior high school stage, Xiao Yao never participated in a full game. He usually played three-on-three or four-on-four half-time matches with a few people.

  This is the case with Xiao Yao, and everyone else’s situation is similar.

  Whenever there is a full-time official game, these student players who have no experience in the whole game play without rules. Every time the teammates of this team get the ball, no matter who gets the ball, the other four are swarming and rush to the opponent's half. There is no concept of point guards pushing the ball and organizing offenses.

Even when attacking in the opponent's half, players who are used to playing three-on-three and four-on-four halves habitually divide the half-court in the same way as in the three-on-three and four-on-four half games. And the position, one or two more people on the defensive side will naturally come forward to double-team the offensive opponent with the ball. And not many of the offensive ball-handling players have the ability to dribble the ball out of double-teaming. Whenever they encounter double-teaming, they want to throw the ball out the first time. As for whether it was thrown to the teammate in the open position or to the opponent's player, it was pure luck.

Xiao Yao's performance is relatively better among these people. As a substitute for the college team in his previous life, he still has some full game experience, and he has some experience in the difference between full game and half game. . When he is on the court, he can take the initiative to respond to his teammates and ask for the ball every time. It is up to him to complete the work of holding the ball and organizing. This is also the main reason why Class 2 can win Class 1 by almost 20 points.

  However, Xiao Yao didn't stay on the court for the whole game. Even if he is on the court, the player with the ball doesn't always hand the ball to him in his own half. So even though this match was won, Xiao Yao felt extremely awkward, completely ashamed. These are too far from what he imagined in a basketball game, so there is not much interest and enthusiasm.

  His interest and enthusiasm for the basketball game has diminished a lot, so Xiao Yao naturally focused on the reality show "Goddess' Fashion Dress" that he will participate in as a guest.

  Although Xiao Siqi introduced the show in general, it is not particularly specific. With Xiao Yao's personality and habits, it is indispensable to do some homework in advance and have a comprehensive understanding of the programs that he wants to participate in.

  First, there are five goddesses who are models.

  These five are now all actors, and their reputations in the entertainment industry are not low. Three of the five have transformed from models to actors, but they were all print models and TV commercial models before. There is no professional clothing model that uses catwalks as its main business. The fourth was a national athlete before. After retiring, he switched careers and became an actor in the entertainment industry. The last one was dancing professionally before. Because of an accidental injury, it was difficult for her dance career to make a big progress, and her appearance was very good, so she became an actor.

  The shortest among the five is also 1.7 meters tall. From the standpoint of height and figure, they are all in line with model standards. From the perspective of appearance, it can also be called a goddess.

  Followed by five designers who partnered with the goddess. Since he is called a new designer, he is naturally not very young. These five are male and female, and they are all between 20 and 30 years old. Since these few can be selected by the program group, they should be at least well-known in the domestic designer circle and fashion circle.

   However, when Xiao Yao and Chen Xuan studied photography, most of the time they followed Chen Xuan to travel abroad, and he didn't know much about the domestic fashion circle. Xiao Yao is basically ignorant of the styles of these five designers and previous works, so it takes some time to understand.

As for the four fashion brand companies and their representatives that are equivalent to the judges in the show and directly participated in the bidding, Xiao Yao is not prepared to pay attention to it. After all, he may need to comment on the clothing and the designer’s design in the program, but he does not need to. Evaluate the bids of those buyers.

  In addition to these, there is another thing to consider is the opening song that Xiao Siqi said.

  Originally, Xiao Yao didn’t plan to make a new song. After all, he was just a guest of one of the show. He was filming one night in total, and it was over for casual play. For this reason, it seemed a bit unworthy to make a new song. But after Xiao Yao secretly watched the shooting of the first episode, Xiao Yao changed his mind.

As a brand-new program format, it is also the most important entertainment program of Donghai TV this year. "Goddess' Fashion Costume" is the largest investment in Donghai TV's entertainment program this year in terms of the quality of the production team and the production cost budget. . Therefore, the program team believes that the first episode of the program must be played well anyway. For this reason, the production team of the program group specially invited a male singer and actor who can be regarded as a top superstar in Asia and well-known in Europe and the United States as the first male **** guest from South Korea.

  This life is the same as Xiao Yao’s previous life. The Korean Wave has already invaded China, and the hearts of countless Chinese girls and even young women have been occupied by those long-legged oppas. Park Zhixian, who was the guest of the first issue of "Goddess' Fashion Dress", is the most powerful of these long-legged oppas.

  Park Ji-hyun debuted as a singer when he was 20 years old. He won six Korean newcomer awards for his first album. He entered the film and television industry the following year and won the Korean Newcomer Award as a TV actor. Now that he debuted for ten years, he has already appeared in the Asian version of "Time", and has also been selected as one of the "100 Most Influential People in the World" by the American version of "Time". As soon as the concert opened, it was at least an Asian tour, and even North American solo concerts had been held at the Madison Square Garden Theater in the United States.

  In addition to his grades, Park Zhixian’s talent is also nothing to say. In addition to being a singer and actor, he is also a music producer and choreographer, and he has established his own independent agency. So put it all together, Park Zhixian in this world is basically the Korean star "Rain" Zheng Jixun who Xiao Yao has known in his previous life.

  With such a great **** in front, Xiao Yao immediately felt the pressure. Especially after watching the recording of the first episode of the show secretly on the spot, Xiao Yao felt even more calm after seeing Park Zhixian's performance as an audience. Although it was just a performance of a song, the typhoon, the effect, and even the aura made Xiao Yao deeply understand that it was not unreasonable for this person to achieve such results, and he also knew that he and South Korea are currently huge in number, and the momentum is menacing. The so-called idol boy groups are not on the same level at all.

  After watching the recording of the first episode, Xiao Yao regretted agreeing to be a guest of the show. Even if you want to agree, you should choose another issue instead of being a guest of the second issue.

   But now that they have agreed, it is definitely impossible to repent now. In order not to be completely smashed in seconds under the comparison of Park Zhixian, Xiao Yao decided to prepare a new song and let himself be as brilliant as possible.

  Whether it is singing or dancing, Xiao Yao believes that he is not as good as Park Zhixian for the time being. In terms of music, Xiao Yao thinks he is better than Park Zhixian, probably because he can play more musical instruments than him. But people don't know how to play musical instruments. You can't change a song with seven or eight instruments and play in turns. Xiao Yao didn't plan to play "Eighteen Martial Arts" by Wang Leehom in the previous life.

  Don’t talk about music. From a personal point of view, Xiao Yao can find himself better than Piao Zhixian. The most obvious point is that he speaks English better than Piao Zhixian. Park Zhixian can speak Chinese, but he doesn't speak very fluently, and his pronunciation is not very standard. Considering that his Chinese accent is heavier than English, Park Zhixian sang an English song of his own when recording the show.

People in Japan and South Korea speak English, and most of them have some accents. As someone who has already held concerts in the United States, Park Zhixian is much stronger than the average Korean in this respect, and his accent is not so obvious. However, Xiao Yao, who was present at the scene, could still hear some unstandard parts of his English pronunciation. So when it comes to English pronunciation, Xiao Yao knows that he is better than him.

  In addition to the English accent, Xiao Yao has another advantage in that he is younger than Park Zhixian. Based on these two points, Xiao Yao decided on the song he wanted to sing.

  After choosing the song, the next step is to prepare.

  The first thing Xiao Yao started to prepare was to call Xiao Siqi: "Dad, I sang a new song during the second recording of "The Goddess' Fashion Dress"."

   "Really?" Xiao Siqi said happily, "Have you finished writing, when will you show me the score? When will you record it?"

   "I haven't written the score yet, but I already have an idea in my mind." Xiao Yao said, "Don't worry about the recording for now. I want you to do me a favor first."

"Help?" Xiao Siqi asked a little strangely, "If you have anything to say, but I think the first task is to record a new song. Saturday is the second episode of "Goddess' Fashion Dress", and there is less than a week left. Now, you have to record the accompaniment, and you have to practice the coordination with the accompaniment. Time is very tight. What is more urgent than this?"

"The thing I want you to help is related to this new song during the recording of the second issue of "The Goddess' Fashion Dress" on Saturday." Xiao Yao said, "I need help when performing. I want you to help me. Find a child around seven or ten years old to accompany me. You don’t need to be a professional child in singing, as long as the singing skills are decent and the sound is good."

   "Are you an older kid who wants a kid to be a accompaniment?" Xiao Siqi smiled on the other side of the phone, and then agreed: "Okay, no problem. Do you want a boy or a girl?"

   "Both men and women." Xiao Yao replied casually, after thinking about it and adding: "It's better to have more girls. For children of this age, girls' voices are better than boys."
