Entertaining Children

  Chapter 78 End of Performance

  The whole drama came to a close with the audience's standing applause.

  Seeing that the whole drama finally ended, Xiao Siqi was greatly relieved. At his level, he felt that Xiao Yao acted well, without making any mistakes, and didn't delay the whole drama. Ye Jiaying on the side was very excited. Although I had guessed that this enchanting stepson would definitely not let herself down, but the whole drama was performed, but it gave her a big surprise. When the audience began to exit, she excitedly pulled Xiao Siqi backstage.

  Normal audiences naturally cannot enter the backstage. Although the security staff at the passage recognized Ye Jiaying and Xiao Siqi, the security guards who did not receive instructions from Sun Zhihao and other staff did their best to stop them.

There are often star actors from the showbiz show up in theaters to watch dramas. As security guards to maintain theater order, they have also seen a lot of celebrity audiences. Without the approval of the staff participating in the performance, they are all stars no matter how big they are. I dare not put it in.

  In desperation, the two had to tell the staff that they were family members of the actors, and asked them to inform Sun Zhihao to come and confirm and lead them in.

  Sun Zhihao, who got the news from the security guard, became happy, and smiled happily and said to Hu Xuena next to him: “Tell the two of them to come back sneakily in advance. Now I am anxious to see my son can't even enter the door. It deserves it!”

  Today is the weekend. Hu Xuena will bring her daughter to join her for the premiere of her new drama. But they did not go to the audience as the audience. Sun Tingting watched the whole process behind, while Hu Xuena helped to do some behind-the-scenes work.

  "It’s the first time Xiao Yao acted. They definitely don’t want to miss the first performance. I guess they are thinking about giving Xiao Yao a surprise. Poor parents in the world, don’t make them happy, I’ll bring them in."

   Xiao Yao, who was removing her makeup, heard that his father and stepmother secretly came back to watch his performance in advance, and a warm current flowed slowly in his heart.

   "August 1st, your acting is awesome!" Ye Jiaying, who was taken into the backstage, saw Xiao Yao, excitedly rushed over and hugged him, and praised happily.

   "Son, praise!" Xiao Siqi who followed him also gave a thumbs up.

   Xiao Yao is still very happy to receive the praise from his parents. At least it proves that the hard work of more than a month has not been in vain, and the hardship is worth it.

  After Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying finished complimenting Xiao Yao, Sun Zhihao introduced the crew and Xiao Ye. Both Xiao Ye are becoming popular now, and the news about their marriage some time ago has been covered in entertainment media, so there is no need to introduce them.

  Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying hurriedly greeted the crew members one by one, thanking them one by one for their guidance and care to their sons in the crew.

The crew politely greeted Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying, followed by sincerely complimenting Xiao Yao, and all of them were suddenly enlightened. They were wondering where Sun Zhihao found such a talented child. It turned out to be Xiao Siqi. And Ye Jiaying's son.

  Father and stepmother, one is a singer and the other is an actor, no wonder Xiao Yao has such a solid foundation in lines and such a proficient drama. Wait, it doesn't seem to be right, didn't the two of them just get married last month? Xiao Siqi's dead wife seems to be a model, right? Oh, by the way, Xiao Siqi's father is Xiao Chengru, and Xiao Yao also has an old grandfather. It turned out to be so, no wonder.

   "Teacher Sun, I have worked hard for you this time." Ye Jiaying said to Sun Zhihao again, "Unexpectedly, you can teach Bayi to this level in just over a month. You are too good!"

   "Where," Sun Zhihao waved his hand with a smile, "It's mainly because Xiao Yao, a child who is smart and hardworking, not only has a solid basic skills, but also has a fierce energy to refuse to admit defeat."

"Basic skills? Is it his three-tone drama tone?" Ye Jiaying asked when she was sitting in the audience at the beginning of the play, "It wasn't you who taught it, it was really his grandfather had taught it before. he?"

"Of course I didn't teach it. If I taught it, it will only take more than a month. No matter how enchanting he is, it is impossible for him to reach this level. This is a basic skill that can only rely on long-term exercise. There is no shortcut. "Yes." Sun Zhihao nodded and smiled, "Well, your family has not seen you for more than a month, and I will not prevent your family from reuniting. Anyway, Xiao Yao's makeup has also been removed. You can take Xiao Yao and go first. I have to clean up for a while."

  So Xiao Siqi's family of three left Sun Zhihao and the crew, and left and went home to reunite. As for the luggage that Xiao Yao still left at Sun's house, it was just some changes of clothes and daily necessities, which he still has at home, and just take some time to get it back.

  When they got home, the three of them took a bath and changed into leisurely home clothes. Then they began to relax and chat together about their own experiences for a month.

   "After four years of practicing three-tone resonance, do you want to be an actor in Bayi?" After talking about their experiences during this period, Xiao Siqi finally couldn't help but ask Xiao Yao.

Although it is not to interfere with Xiao Yao’s future career choices, from the bottom of my heart, Xiao Chengru still hopes that Xiao Yao will grow up to work in acting, while Xiao Siqi hopes that Xiao Yao will grow up to work in music in the future. .

  Neither father and son ever told Xiao Yao what he wanted him to do when he grew up, but they both silently did something in the hope that they could affect Xiao Yao subtly. For example, Xiao Chengru took Xiao Yao to the crew and actively asked Xiao Yao to worship Liu Zhongwen as his teacher to learn martial arts. For example, Xiao Siqi is very active in teaching Xiao Yao to learn musical instruments, and put his songs on his own album to help him publish.

   "I'm still young, I haven't decided what I will do when I grow up," Xiao Yao said, shaking his head, "I can't play with the things my grandpa taught, so I just throw it away. Besides, I'm not the same as I have been practicing the vocalization exercises you taught me."

   "Also, I decided to wait until the play of Uncle Sun is finished, so I won't act for the time being, maybe I won't act until I reach adulthood." Xiao Yao continued.

  "Are the dramas gone? Why?" It was not Xiao Siqi who asked this time, but Ye Jiaying. Watching Xiao Yao's performance today, she is also excitedly looking forward to Xiao Yao's performance in other drama works.

   "Does it feel too hard?" Ye Jiaying then asked. When chatting just now, he had already seen the bruises on Xiao Yao's knees, and she felt distressed.

"It's one of the reasons, but not the main reason." Xiao Yao looked at Ye Jiaying and said, "It's just that I think that after the ten or so performances of this drama, I should have had enough of my addiction to acting. It may be very difficult in the future. I won’t be interested in it for a long time. I don’t want to be a child star or act in film and television before adulthood, so I won’t act again before adulthood. However, I will continue to practice those basic skills."

In the hearts of Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying, Xiao Yao has always been a very thoughtful child. What he decides to do, as long as it is not particularly obvious and unreliable, they will not object to parents. Of course, it is basically useless to object. . So if Ye Jiaying waited to see Xiao Yao perform other works again, there would be some waiting.

  Plays are relatively niche and do not receive much media attention. Most of them rely on the word-of-mouth of the directors and actors in the performance genre of dramas to attract audiences. Sun Zhihao's talent is well-known. He has dramas, not only for ordinary audiences, but also for his colleagues in the entertainment industry. Many of them will come to watch them admiringly.

  Sun Zhihao kept his promise, and did not use Xiao Yao’s identity for publicity. Even the drama poster at the door used the back of the father and son holding hands. On the poster, Chen Jianjun played by Sun Zhihao turned his head back, revealing his Sun Zhihao's profile face, while Xiao Yao simply had only one back of his head.

  However, whether the actors perform well or not, the audience’s eyes are sharp, and they can’t hide even if they want to hide. Especially those insiders who see a child who can act in a drama to such an extent, they all look to Sun Zhihao after the show to find out about the little actors in the play as if they have picked up a baby.

  Sun Zhihao knew that Xiao Yao still didn't want to be famous as a child star. If the media asked him, Sun Zhihao might cover it up. But in the face of inquiries from colleagues in the circle, Sun Zhihao did not conceal Xiao Yao's identity. What if someone wants to find Xiao Yao to perform in a drama? He didn't know that Xiao Yao didn't want to act in recent years.

  Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying knew that Xiao Yao didn’t want to act recently. Therefore, a group of people in the entertainment industry who learned of Xiao Yao's identity from Sun Zhihao came to Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying, and they also ran into a wall with them. But at least, in the performing arts circle, many people know that Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying have a very good acting son.

"How awesome? Just go and see Sun Zhihao's "Happiness Terminal". An eight-year-old child who reads the lines without a headset can make the audience in the theater hear clearly. Just the power of the lines It's already so good that you don't want it, okay?" A certain director and friends in the circle said when talking about Xiao Yao.

  Sun Zhihao’s drama was originally scheduled to be performed in ten shows in a month and a half. Later, due to the huge popularity of the performance, Sun Zhihao had to add four more performances on the original basis. The time span of the entire drama performance was also increased from one and a half months to two months.

  Wait until the drama performance is finally over, and the time has come to mid-December, which is close to the end of the Gregorian calendar. At this time in previous years, Ye Jiaying was a little better as an actor, and Xiao Siqi, a singer, had already come to the busiest time of the year. Because of the New Year’s Day and the Spring Festival, the various evening parties and other performances during this period are the most in the year, and he occasionally releases new albums at the end of the year or at the beginning of the year. If the promotion of the album is added, he is simply too busy. Do not touch the ground.

  However, because of their marriage this year, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying both pushed a lot of work, and there was no plan to release an album at the end of the year, so this New Year has become the most leisurely New Year for Xiao Siqi since Xiao Yao’s rebirth.

   Also because I got married this year, at the end of the year, Xiao Siqi took Xiao Yao to a place he didn't expect and did something he didn't expect.
