Entertaining Children

  Chapter 214 Arrangement

  Pipe Hugo is the head of all reviewers, usually the first to speak. When he was ready to speak with admiration on his face, he saw a familiar face in the team of the "Rapid Stream" dance troupe on the stage, and his face immediately became serious, and his brows slowly frowned.

"I have a lot of compliments for this dance that I want to give you, and I also have a lot of questions I want to ask you." Piper Hugo said, "But before all those, I want to ask you a serious question. ."

  Hearing Piper Hugo’s tone suddenly became serious, the other six reviewers all looked at him curiously.

   "Do you know the rules of this game?" Piper Hugo asked directly.

   "Got it!" In front of the stage, the staff had already placed a vertical microphone, and Paul standing in front of the microphone nodded and replied.

   "Then why is the Huaxia kid on stage?" Piper Hugo frowned further.

   "What?" Mary Jane and Santos Perez looked at the stage with surprise, and they saw Xiao Yao, who they had met in the qualifiers, at a glance. He stood generously in the first row of the team and was easy to spot. The two exclaimed at the same time: "My God!"

   "What's wrong?" The other four judges who didn't know the situation looked at them and asked.

"Because he is a member of our team." Paul calmly replied, "This way, he has made a great contribution to every game and dance of ours. The energy he put in is more than There are more people in our team. If he can’t get on the stage with us in this last dance, it’s too regrettable and unfair for him, so all of our team members decided unanimously. Put him on the stage. Of course, we are also ready to accept any results from this."

   "Any result? What do you mean?" Piper Hugo asked.

  "The result of this game is invalid. We may only get fourth, maybe there is nothing. Anyway, the champion must say goodbye to us." Paul laughed.

   "No results? 4th at most? Why? They are obviously the best performers and the coolest!" The audience in the audience burst into clamour.

Seeing the calm expressions of the players on the stage, Piper Hugo's expression also relaxed, and smiled: "Very well, it is very rare for you to do this. I appreciate your team spirit. But ..."

   "Pipeber," Mary interjected suddenly, "I think the rule that non-Americans cannot participate should be changed. As long as you are in the United States, even if you are not a U.S. citizen, you should give him a chance to participate in the game."

   "I agree." Piper nodded. Mary was about to cheer, but she heard Piper continue, "But not now."

   "Why?" Mary Jane said dissatisfied.

"Rules are rules," Piper said. "If we temporarily change the rules for a certain person now, it would be unfair to the three teams participating in the finals tonight, and even the eliminated teams this year. So, what we can do is to amend this rule next year or the next competition. This rule must be amended and announced before everyone signs up for the competition, so that’s fair."

Piper turned to the members of the "Rapid Current" dance group on the stage and said: "So this year, now, I can only say sorry to you. Because of the previous games, the Huaxia Boys did not appear on the stage, not the Americans who cannot participate. The restrictions are only for stage performances and do not involve behind-the-scenes work, so your previous results are all valid. In other words, you are fourth tonight."

  Hearing this, the audience in the audience also understood that the reason was that there was a non-American member of the "Rapid" on the stage. Piper Hugo made a lot of sense. Fairness is the pursuit of all competitions, at least on the surface. They can't refute it, and the drum noise of the audience is also reduced.

   "Thank you," Paul bowed, "As we said, we accept this result. In fact, this is the best result we have considered."

"I am also very grateful to you for bringing a wonderful performance to our stage." Piper Hugo also lowered his head slightly, and then said, "I am very curious about this extraordinary effect on you. How did it make it? How do you control the dance process?"

"Sorry, we have applied for a patent for this technology, so it is not convenient for me to disclose too many details here." Paul smiled apologetically, "What I can say is, this thing is us...someone in our team. The ideas that we have come up with personally are also made by ourselves."

  Hearing these words from Paul, Piper subconsciously looked at Xiao Yao on the stage. He clearly remembered that in the preliminary contest, Zhou Jingyi told him that the shape, soundtrack and most of the costume production and choreography of the "Zombie Dance" were all made by this Chinese kid. Nowadays, when it comes to the designer of the LED light clothes, Piper thought of Xiao Yao for the first time, but since Paul didn't reveal his specific name, he was very interesting and didn't ask any more questions.

"It's a pity." Santos Perez on the judging stand suddenly interrupted, "I originally wanted to use your very cool clothes in the choreography of the movie project I was holding. I just didn't know how to make it. Did the film owner leave the cost of purchasing and using patents in the budget?"

"Don't worry," Paul said with a smile, "Since we have participated in this movie, we can use our clothing for free in this movie. The patent owner is one of us, and he won't tell our team. Anyone in the group charges royalties, which is a privilege that our team has."

   "Ha, great." Santos Pereston happily said, "It seems that the producer is going to buy me a drink because I saved them a royalty."

   "But I want to congratulate you even more," Santos Perez continued, "On this alone, I think many people will want to perform with you in the future."

Everyone on the stage was stunned by Santos's words, and immediately thought of this, and they all looked at Xiao Yao thoughtfully.

  Previous life, Xiao Yao clearly remembered that in a report he had read, he mentioned that the forty-five-degree tilt performance technique that MJ Great God came up with that violated the principle of human body weight mechanics was patented. Now in the United States, Xiao Yao has created such a cool LED costume. Xiao Yao immediately considered the issue of applying for a patent. Although he is not short of money now, no one will feel too much money.

  As for the decision to give players free use, Xiao Yao had already made it. He has been in the United States for half a year, and the main energy of his leisure activities has been on a band and a dance team. Whether it is a band or a dance team, he has been with it for a long time, and he has a certain affection for both teams. So it is inevitable to consider the future of the two teams.

  The band will not break up after he returns to China, so after learning that the band wants to continue to develop in the entertainment circle and music circle, Xiao Yao actively contacted and prompted Keith’s studio to sign them.

  The hip-hop team is not like a band. Even if Mary Jane and Santos Perez provide two jobs to the team, the team will disband sooner or later. The difference is just a matter of time. The people in the team must have different development and future life paths, which can also be seen from the difference in the weight of the movie roles provided by Santos Perez. Therefore, in order to make everyone's life as good as possible in the future, Xiao Yao made such a promise to the street dancers. Anyway, this idea was copied by Xiao Yao from his previous life. Even if he loses some income, he doesn't feel distressed. If he can help these players in the future, Xiao Yao thinks it is worth it.

  The players only thought that Xiao Yao was giving face to his teammates at the time, and they didn't realize Xiao Yao's meaning. Of course, Xiao Yao didn’t care much, because according to his previous assumptions, even if he didn’t get on stage, the judges would definitely be curious about the origin of the clothes and would ask them on the spot, so he just asked Paul to say that this thing is already After applying for a patent, don't say too many details.

When it comes to patents, Santos will naturally think of his own movies, and the team members will naturally tell him that Xiao Yao has given all the team members free use of the patent rights. If this is mentioned in the program, it will naturally spread to the industry. Then they will People may therefore have a little advantage over others in the future job opportunities competition.

  Now hearing what Santos Perez said, the players also understood Xiao Yao's intentions, so they all looked at Xiao Yao. It's just that Xiao Yao stood on the stage and was watched by such a group of people, and suddenly felt a sense of horror in his thighs.

  Fortunately, Piper. Hugo's next words saved Xiao Yao.

"Since Riptide has accepted their fourth place result, we will now invite all the first three teams to the stage. Next, we will announce the first, second and third place of our "National Street Dance Competition". Belongs to." Piper Hugo said. After the three dance team members heard Piper’s words, they returned to the stage from the backstage.

The members of the first three dance teams also watched the performance of "Rapid" just now. They also admired their performance and admired their willingness to give up the championship for their teammates. So after they took the stage, they took the initiative to participate. Qian greeted the members of "Ripple" and added two compliments by the way.

  In this way, the members of the "Ripple" will have no time to continue staring at Xiao Yao.

  For the "Ripple" players who have already determined the fourth place, there is no need to care about who wins the championship. Continue to stay on stage and wait for Piper to announce the results, just out of courtesy and respect for the show, the audience and the opponents.

  So after the show ended and returned to the backstage, the members of "Rapid Current" surrounded Xiao Yao for the first time.

   "This is the purpose of your free use of patents? In order to allow us to have more job opportunities?" Zhou Jingyi was the first to ask.

   "Yes, it can be regarded as a parting gift for you." Xiao Yao touched his nose and replied.

  "Farewell gift? Are you leaving?" Zhou Jingyi was taken aback.

   "You all know that I am an exchange student, and sooner or later I will return to China." Xiao Yao did not answer directly.

   "But isn't this half a year away?" TJ also said, "Are you not going to play with us from now on?"

"That..." Xiao Yao hesitated for a while, and decided to tell the truth, "I joined you at the beginning, in fact, for this competition. I don't plan to participate in Mary Jane's MV shooting, of course, and her concert. And Santos Perez’s movies, I won’t participate. I’m different from you. I don’t plan to use hip-hop or dancers as my life's career. Of course, if I have the opportunity, I’m still willing to continue with you. Dancing together. It’s just that I won’t participate in commercial performances with you, so it’s a bit of my heart to give you a gift. May you all have a bright future.

  It’s one thing to participate in a hip-hop competition, but Xiao Yao really doesn’t like to be the background in the MV of other stars, as a back dancer for other people’s concerts, and run in the movies. Xiao Yao has his own pride, and he has achieved good results in China, but he has no reason to lower his body like this. He came to the United States to read and play, but not to start at a low level, sharpened his head and wanted to drill into the American entertainment circle.
