Entertaining Children

  Chapter 88 The Feeling of Deja vu

  With Xiao Yao’s memory, after walking around the background, he almost remembered the location of the terrain and various equipment. After a round and back, a staff member had already come to inform the rehearsal to start, and the models began to make preparations in the order of their appearances.

Xiao Yao didn’t rush around anymore, found a quiet place in the backstage, sat down quietly, and began to think about the layout of the entire backstage, and which areas of the three areas could not affect the normal work of the staff, and could provide His shooting position with good enough perspective.

  It’s a pity that Xiao Yao was interrupted by the coming Betty Belet before he even started. "Little young man, return the camera to you." Betty returned Xiao Yao's mirrorless camera to her, "The photo has not been deleted, even if there is still my photo in it. But don't leave after the rehearsal, I invite you to dinner, you I have to tell me when you took me in. I'm already very vigilant." After finishing speaking, before Xiao Yao could answer, he turned and walked quickly to the passageway leading to the stage. She was wide open and ranked first to play.

   Xiao Yao took the camera and smiled. It doesn’t matter what he eats.

The duration of the   Eva show is no more than one hour, because the rehearsal is the sequence of the process, the speed of the models' steps and the background music, so the total time for the rehearsal is no more than two hours.

  According to the usual practice, the annual Eva Show invites two to three groups of singers or bands from the European and American music circles as live performers to perform live performances and interact with models in two or three of the six units.

  The same is true this year, and the guests have already been confirmed. They are a female pop singer, a female hip-hop singer and a pop rock band, all of whom have achieved outstanding musical performance this year. Originally Xiao Yao thought that he would see the two female singers and the rock band during the rehearsal, but he did not expect that the rehearsal was about to end, and Xiao Yao did not see them either.

  Later, Xiao Yao couldn't help running out of the backstage, and found Chen Xuan in front of the scene, who was also thinking about a suitable shooting location, and asked about it, only then could he understand the whole story.

  It turns out that the repertoire of singers and bands has long been decided, the duration of the song is fixed, and the performance time of the guest performers on the stage is also fixed. The models only need to be careful not to collide with them on the stage when they are on the catwalk. Both the singers and these models are people with extremely rich performance experience on the stage or on the T stage, and it is almost impossible for them to bump into each other on the stage.

As for the interaction between the singer and the model at that time, what the Eva Show hopes to see is that the two parties improvise on stage, and do not want to design it in advance. The model and the singer are not actors. They hope that the interaction between the two on stage is quite natural. , So it was up to them to improvise.

The most famous interaction between a singer and a model on the Eva Show was three years ago, when Betty Belet’s husband, then boyfriend Keith Craig, was the lead singer of the Daydream Band as a performance that year. The guest’s scene.

When the two appeared on the stage at the same time, not only the little ambiguity between the eyes abused a lot of single dogs, but Keith even sneaked up from behind when Betty had reached the end of the runway closest to the audience. , Kissed Betty while she was not prepared for a sneak attack, and the atmosphere instantly exploded, and the close-up of Betty's facial expression captured by the camera, from panic to surprise to surprise, was not something that could be performed on-site after being designed during rehearsal.

  Betty Belet did not leave after the rehearsal, and waited to invite him to dinner, but Xiao Yao was only ten years old, and he still had to get the consent of his guardian if he wanted to take him away.

Betty had already asked the old man Giani to find out about Xiao Yao during the rest of the rehearsal. He knew that the young parents did not accompany him to the United States. During this time in the United States, Xiao Yao’s guardian should be his. Teacher Thiel Chen has gone. Therefore, after the rehearsal, Betty approached Chen Xuan directly and explained to him his willingness to invite Xiao Yao to dinner in the evening.

  "Heather Hotel!" Chen Xuan answered Betty.

  "What do you mean?" Betty didn't understand what Chen Xuan meant.

"I mean this kid is staying at the Heather Hotel. The room card is on him. Remember to send him back to the hotel after dinner." Chen Xuan shrugged, "Since you took him away, I will find a place to play by myself at night. I'm there. Are there any questions?"

   "Of course not." Betty said happily, "Don't worry, I will definitely send him back to the hotel safely."

"Actually, I am not worried." Chen Xuan smiled, "This is a very smart little guy. I guess even if he is thrown into Brooklyn, he can find a way to get back to the hotel. I just don't want him. It’s just to trouble me to call to save money. You know, I have an appointment with beautiful women at night."

  Betty looked at Chen Xuan speechlessly, then turned to Xiao Yao on the side: "Little young man, are you sure that it is the right decision for you to ask him to be your master and your temporary guardian in the United States?"

   "The French are so unreliable," Xiao Yao spread his hands and said, "But he is the person with the best photography skills I have ever met."

"No map cannons are allowed." Chen Xuan glared at Xiao Yao, but seemed quite satisfied with Xiao Yao's answer in the second half. He stood up proudly and waved at Betty: "Bye, this kid is handing over to you. Remember, if I don’t see him at the hotel tomorrow, I will come to you."

  Looking at the back of Chen Xuan leaving, Xiao Yao asked Betty: "Aren’t we leaving? Isn’t the rehearsal over?"

   "In order to prevent you from saying bad things about me in Chinese and I don't understand, so I invited Qin and Yin together." Betty said, "They are still changing clothes, so we have to wait."

  China has a saying that multiple friends and multiple paths, not to mention, whether it is fame, income, status or influence in the industry, Betty Belet is a bit higher than Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi. Making friends with Betty is very beneficial to the development of the two, especially in the European and American fashion circles. So Betty invited to dinner, and the two naturally agreed readily.

   "Are you sure they will help you?" Xiao Yao said, "The three of us come from the same country."

  As they were talking, Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi had changed their clothes and came out and walked towards them. Yin Xi was even extremely jumpy, deliberately calling Xiao Yao's nickname in Chinese with a fierce face and greeted him: "You evildoer, this fairy will take you today." Just now he took Xiao Yao for a walk in the backstage. Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi and Xiao Yao are already acquainted with each other.

  After all, there are only three Chinese people in this foreign country. Xiao Yao is not only young, but also looks very easy to get along with. There are a lot of people who are crazy and familiar with Yin Xi, and he becomes unscrupulous towards Xiao Yao. And she called herself a fairy because of her looks and the temperament of the still photos she took in the domestic circle, she was rated as the most "fairy" model, so she also got a "fairy" nickname.

  Betty frowned and looked at Yin Xi and said, "You call him yaonie? What does that mean?" Although she doesn't understand Chinese, Betty can easily tell that the first two words are Yin Xi calling Xiao Yao.

  "Ah?" How do you want to translate evildoer in English, Yin Xi was stunned, and for a while, he really couldn't find a suitable word to translate.

   "She said I was a bad person, a demon." Xiao Yao smiled, using the words evildoer and demon.

   "Why do you call him that? Did he do anything bad to you?" Betty looked at Yin Xi suspiciously.

  "No, of course not." Qin Qingyang, who is still more prudent, explained to Betty: "yaonie does have some embarrassment, but in China, it is still used by us to call some people smarter than geniuses."

  "Smarter than a genius?" Betty repeated.

   "Yes. Smarter than geniuses. Such people are so smart that people feel scared. That's why they use names such as demons and monsters to refer to these people. It doesn't mean that he must be a bad person." Qin Qingyang nodded.

   "Understood." Betty nodded, "So, you must know more about him, so Yin would call him that. Would you mind sharing it with me?" No matter what country, gossip is natural.

   "Aren't you going to eat? I'm starving to death!" Xiao Yao exaggerated exaggeratedly, and decisively interrupted the gossip between the women.

   "OK, let's have dinner." Betty nodded and took the lead to leave to the parking lot.

  Betty did not bring an assistant or agent because it was a private dinner. Naturally, Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi would not bring it. Xiao Yao didn't have these two at all. One car is enough for four people to eat. When Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi came to New York this time, they both rented a relatively large and comfortable nanny car. Xiao Yao was in Chen Xuan's car. Only Betty had a private car, so the group of people naturally took Betty's car to set off.

  Betty drove, Xiao Yao got into the co-pilot by himself, leaving the two seats in the back row for two Chinese girls.

As he drove out of the car, Yin Xi in the back seat couldn't help but mutter to Qin Qingyang in Chinese, "Do you think Betty is very good to the little evildoer? It's only the first time I met, so I invited him to dinner privately, and drove him personally. Don’t tell me, let’s ask our fellow villagers to accompany us. Isn’t it a fancy to this little guy?”

Qin Qingyang slapped Yin Xi and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Betty has just given birth to a child for only three months. This is when maternal love is overflowing and she especially likes children. Seeing such a special child as Xiao Yao, this kind of behavior is also true. It's a fate."

   "Cut it~" Yin Xi curled his lips, "Look for my own children because of the proliferation of maternal love."

"My own child is in Los Angeles, so she can go back if I want to see it. You don't want to let the family feel emotionally shifted?" Qin Qingyang said, "It's you, don't always call Xiao Yao evildoer, it's not good." Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi was in a circle. The two of them knew each other and had a good relationship when they were in China. The two Chinese models who came to the United States to participate in the Eva show this time were the only ones who got along with each other during this time. The relationship naturally went even further. She was older. When I was a few years old, I entered the role of my sister unconsciously.

   "I think it doesn't matter if he listens to me calling him that. Maybe he would like me to call him evildoer." Yin Xi said indifferently.

  Betty drove the car intently. Yu Guang occasionally paid attention to Xiao Yao from the co-pilot who looked out the window to observe the night view of New York, but did not pay much attention to the two colleagues in the back seat who were biting their ears.

  The car reached the destination, Betty stopped the car on the side of the road in front of a restaurant. After the four people got out of the car, a waiter at the door greeted him and called "Ms. Belet", took Betty's car key and helped to stop the car. As a popular model and fashion celebrity, Betty Beilette did not change her husband's surname after marriage, so outsiders generally call her Ms. Beilette. Looking at the performance of the parking attendant, it is obvious that Betty is either a member of this restaurant or a regular customer.

  Xiao Yao followed Betty into the restaurant, and after a quick glance, he found a stage in the hall with a black grand piano on it. A closer look at the layout and various furnishings in the restaurant gave Xiao Yao a feeling of deja vu.
