Entertaining Children

  Chapter 216 is Xiao Yao?

   Accompanied by the shouts of the guests and audience, the lights behind and above the circular stage at the rear turned on at the same time. The band members who were ready also appeared in everyone's sight.

  Seeing the band members appearing on the stage, the guests and the audience gave a round of applause.

The number of spectators on the upper and lower floors of   Groll Theater is more than 3,000, which is half the number of the "Daydream" Los Angeles concert. Although the occasion is more important, the band members who have been baptized by a big scene are not as nervous as that time. And this is a more formal occasion. The audience cannot be as enthusiastic as the audience at the concert. The band does not need to worry too much about the atmosphere of the scene, and does not need to control the emotions of the audience, so there is no need to talk to the audience. They can focus more on their performances when they interact with each other. For them, this performance seems to be easier.

  In this performance, Samien did not play drumsticks with each other to bring the rhythm, but Mike pressed the prelude on the electronic keyboard to directly start the performance.

  When the lights on the stage in the performance area were on, a close-up picture of the entire band was cut out on the big screen. The audience can clearly see the five members of the band from the big screen. At the same time, countless audiences who watched the live broadcast of the awards ceremony also saw the appearance of this young band member.

   "Look, Bayi is really well-dressed. It looks like a rock and roll." Xiao Siqi sat on the sofa in the living room at home, pointing at the figure of Xiao Yao on the TV screen facing Ye Jiaying next to him.

  How to say about participating in the Oscar performance is also a very special thing. Although Xiao Yao did not inform the world on his Weibo and Tieba, and did not take the initiative to break the news to the media, he still called his parents to inform him. Therefore, on the day of the awards ceremony, Xiao Siqi and his wife both turned off their work that day and waited in front of their home TV early in the morning, waiting to see their son.

"It looks stronger, the shoulders are wider, and the chest is thicker. It seems that I have not eaten beef and potatoes less in the United States in the past six months." Ye Jiaying's focus is not on Xiao Yao's black leather jacket with white T-shirt and black overalls. Dressed in rock and roll with black half-height leather boots, but paying attention to Xiao Yao's figure.

  As the intro music sounded, the broadcasted TV screen and the live big screen were synchronized to switch to the close-up of Mike. After the drums were added, it changed to the close-up of Samien.

  There is no Xiao Yao on the TV screen for the time being. Xiao Siqi also has time to laugh and tease his wife: "Seeing Bayi appearing at the Oscar scene, is there a trace of envy, jealousy and hatred in your heart, the big movie queen?"

"Cut~" Ye Jiaying gave her husband a blank look, and said: "August Yi is a guest performer, is to sing, not to accept the award, if you say envious, jealous, and hate, it should be your music dad, right? Besides, my highest pursuit as an actor is in Cannes, not in Oscars."

   "Uh..." Xiao Siqi was suddenly speechless by his wife.

   "Hey, this girl is so beautiful, would you say that August 1st will bring us a foreign girlfriend back?" Ye Jiaying suddenly opened her mind when she saw the close-up of Samien on TV.

   "August 1 hasn't reached 18, why are you so anxious about his girlfriend? People are afraid of children falling in love early, but you are like fear of children not falling in love early." Xiao Siqi smiled.

"Can our family be the same as ordinary people? Nowadays, film and television colleges are different from ordinary colleges and universities. They support acting students to fall in love in college, and being more emotional will help them understand the role and show them. It’s helpful. This principle is the same for Bayi. Besides, our Bayi has been much more mature and sensible than other children since childhood. We don’t have to worry about his premature love. I’m worried that his heart is too high. , Have never been in love." Ye Jiaying said.

   "Okay, well, what you said makes sense." Xiao Siqi smiled and said, "But they have five members in the band and four boys. How do you know that this beautiful girl would like us on August 1st."

"Look at the other three boys, in terms of body and appearance, which one can compare to our Bayi?" Ye Jiaying said with confidence, "It is even more incomparable in terms of talent. Their current song is our Bayi. Write it." Ye Jiaying said proudly.

  At this time, the close-ups of Dean, George, and Xiao Yao have appeared on TV in turn. The five members of the band have already given close-ups of their faces, so Ye Jiaying has said this.

"Well, if Bayi really gets along with this girl. But the girl is American, what if Bayi didn't bring her girl back, but instead stayed in the United States for the sake of her?" Xiao Siqi smiled Looking at his wife, he continued to tease her, "Their band has already been on the Oscar stage, and the starting point is already high. With Bayi's ability and his good English, even if he stays in the United States to develop, I am afraid it will be. There are no problems at all, right? What shall we do then? Follow to the United States, or be separated from my son Wanli? I said before that it does not matter if my son retires in my 40s and allows my son to support me. How about you? Are you willing to work in China? Are you willing to have a son?"

   "Hate it!" Ye Jiaying slapped Xiao Siqi on the shoulder dissatisfied, "August 1 will definitely not stay in the United States."

  At the same time, some verification posts began to appear on the Huaxia network.

"Anyone who is watching the Oscars ceremony like me? I seem to have seen Xiao Yao. The guitarist and second lead singer of the "Immortals" band that is performing is a Chinese. The more I look at it, the more I feel like Xiao Yao what?"

   "The facial features are indeed similar, but the figure seems to be stronger than Xiao Yao, the shoulders appear to be wider than Xiao Yao, the chest is thicker, and the hairstyle is different. I'm not sure."

   "Xiao Yao is indeed an exchange student in the United States, but he has not disclosed where he is in the U.S. school. I ask the insider for more clues."

"I just checked this band. It is a student band from a middle school in Calabasas. It is very close to Los Angeles. This year, because this song has already exploded in the United States. However, only the guitarist named Young is written in the information. For more information, I can’t confirm if this is Xiao Yao."

  Not just ordinary netizens watching the Oscars broadcast, as a movie event that has attracted worldwide attention, many entertainment reporters in China are also watching the Oscars broadcast. Since ordinary netizens can have this kind of suspicion, more sensitive entertainment reporters will naturally think of Xiao Yao's head for the first time. It's just that no one expected that Xiao Yao, who had been silent for half a year after going to the United States, would reappear in everyone's sight in this way. Oscar? Are you kidding me? Of course, the premise is that that person is indeed Xiao Yao who has disappeared from the media for half a year.

  We still need to verify whether this person is Xiao Yao, but for reports that attract everyone’s attention, we don’t have to wait until after verification. Add a question mark at the end and a word like suspicious before it can be solved.

  So, related reports soon appeared in the online media:

  "Oscar stage surprises Chinese faces, suspected to be Xiao Yao! 》

  "Half a year, the American team is playing? The Chinese guitarist of the Oscar live performance band resembles Xiao Yao stunned netizens"

There is a 16-hour difference between Western Time in the United States and Yanjing in China. The Oscars ceremony starts at 7 o’clock on Sunday night in Los Angeles local time. The red carpet show officially begins at 8 o’clock. When the "Immortals" band performed on stage, it was already night. Nine o’clock is almost ten o’clock, and in China, it’s one or two o’clock noon the next day at this time. At this point in time, many people are already at work or preparing to go to work and school, whether they are watching live broadcasts in front of TV. Still, the number of people who follow related news on the Internet is not particularly large, so this speculation about whether the band members are Xiao Yao did not cause much response.

  But in the evening, this speculative news spread quickly on the Internet and formed a huge discussion boom. Because this Oscar did not have the award of Best Foreign Language Film for Huaxia's film, Huaxia people originally paid less attention to this Oscar than in previous years, but because of this news, Oscar has become a popular discussion keyword.

  In the history of Oscars, there is actually no shortage of Chinese. Chinese directors, Chinese photographers and even Chinese soundtrack artists, art directors, and photographers have all won Oscar awards or received nominations. But standing on the Oscar stage at an age of less than twenty, not even a few Americans can do it, let alone Chinese people.

  Xiao Yao’s post bar was the first to become lively, and countless posts instantly wiped out the half-year deserted post bar.

"Our Xiao Yao really knows how to play, and accidentally went to the Oscars. It seems that the only Chinese performers who can go to the Oscars as performers are Mulan, who once sang "Peace" live at the Oscars, right? Coincidentally, that song. It is also the theme song of an animated film, but Mulan was in his thirties when he was on the Oscar stage, and we Xiao Yao hadn't even arrived in his twenties." A senior "Pill" posted in the post bar.

"Correct the person upstairs. Mulan is of Chinese descent, not Chinese. Although they have developed in China, they are of American nationality, so Xiao Yao should be the first Chinese to be the guest of Oscar performance. But the premise is that the person is genuine. It’s Xiao Yao. Now the media is just speculating, and no one dares to be 100% sure. I just went to Xiao Yao’s Weibo to read it, and he didn’t say anything on Weibo, and it hasn’t been updated for half a year.” One A sane bar friend replied below.

  "Summon the Lord to fly tomorrow, please confirm first-hand news." Then someone hit the idea to Chen Mingfei, who had confirmed that he was a classmate with Xiao Yao and had sent many definite news about Xiao Yao.

"Xiao Yao is in the U.S., and the host is in China. This time the host said that he is helpless. In fact, I also want to know if this guy is Xiao Yao, but we are all in contact with email and online chat tools, and this guy hasn't been busy recently. What? I haven't replied to me for more than two months." Chen Mingfei stood up and replied helplessly in the post bar.

Netizens in   Post Bar have only one news channel, Chen Mingfei. If Chen Mingfei doesn’t know it, friends will be gone. However, entertainment reporters have many other choices. The first to bear the brunt is naturally Xiao Yao's parents. Classmates don’t know, it’s impossible that even parents don’t know?

  So, when Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying came to the studio with smiles on the second day after the Oscars ceremony, they found that the door of the studio was surrounded by reporters who had been waiting here for a long time.

   Seeing the two appearing, the reporters immediately surrounded them, and countless microphones were handed to them, but they asked the same question: "Is the person who performed at the Oscars yesterday, Xiao Yao?"
