Entertaining Children

  Chapter 91 Rescue

  Betty, as requested by Chen Xuan, drove Xiao Yao back to the hotel where she was staying after dinner. When they were separated, Betty also took the initiative to ask for Xiao Yao's contact information.

Others treated guests to a French meal and played two songs in exchange for a membership card. Xiao Yao had a pretty good night. After returning to the hotel, he took a very pleasant bath and then felt comfortable. Lying on that luxurious bed fell asleep.

  At eleven o'clock the next morning, Chen Xuan arrived late. After entering the door, Xiao Yao could tell from his radiant face that he obviously had a good time last night.

   "Your old man came too late today, right?" Xiao Yao frowned. Although his language is very good, but with this ten-year-old little body, he really dare not go out of the hotel and wander around in New York. Except for getting up in the morning and going to the hotel gym for an hour to work out, he has been bored in the hotel room all morning.

   "The performance is at night, and there is no rehearsal today. There is nothing to do during the day, so it doesn't matter if you come over later." Chen Xuan smiled, dissatisfied with Xiao Yao's dissatisfaction.

   "Well, how are you going to arrange for me that afternoon?" Xiao Yao asked Chen Xuan.

"As you wish." Chen Xuan spread his hands together, "I think the must-see landmarks have already taken you to yesterday. Come according to your wishes today, wherever you want to go, I will take you there, ok ?"

"Well, after lunch, you can take me to Broadway in the afternoon. If possible, we will go to listen to one or two operas or musicals." Xiao Yao said, since he is in New York, he definitely wants Broadway very much. One of the places to go.

   "What? You are only ten years old, why would you be interested in the dull things like musical operas?" Chen Xuan's temperament is obviously not the kind that can sit quietly in the theater for a few hours.

  "Don't you know that I played a drama in China the year before last?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes.

   "Gosh, you are such a monster. I actually accepted a monster as a student." Chen Xuan exaggerated. He had been to Xiao Yao's house and saw Xiao Yao playing a musical instrument, but he didn't know that he could perform theatrical performances. Although Xiao Yao has been his student for two years, his comprehensive understanding of Xiao Yao is not as comprehensive as Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi, who only met yesterday afternoon. Of course, it was also because Chen Xuan had not deliberately learned about it.

   "You promised to follow my wishes today, are you going to regret it?" Xiao Yao stared at Chen Xuan and asked.

   "Of course...no!" Chen Xuan really wanted to go back, but seeing Xiao Yao's eyes, he was finally defeated. As a teacher, he still needs the basic credibility and face in front of the students.

  After lunch, Chen Xuan took Xiao Yao and killed him to Broadway.

  Broadway is not a theater, but the name of a north-south New York street that runs through Manhattan Island. Because there are many theaters on both sides of this street, it is an important place for American drama and musicals to develop. Therefore, "Broadway" has become synonymous with musicals in the United States.

There are dozens of theaters on both sides of Broadway. The theaters from 44th Street to 53rd Street on Broadway are called Inner Broadway, which stage classic, popular, and commercialized plays, while the theaters on 41st and 56th Streets on Broadway It is called Off-Broadway, and the shows are experimental, not yet well-known, low-cost repertoires.

  Under normal circumstances, a musical is counted as an intermission, and it is almost two and a half hours. Xiao Yao spent a whole afternoon, so he first took Chen Xuan to watch a classic musical of this world on Broadway. After he came out, Xiao Yao, who was still inexplicable, chose a shorter time on Off Broadway and experimented. A pioneering skit of sex. After watching the two plays, it was almost time for dinner.

   Chen Xuan, who watched Xiao Yao the musical for an afternoon, was heartbroken. Finally, when the suffering was over, Chen Xuan immediately took Xiao Yao to have dinner, and then took him to the scene of the evening Eva show ahead of time, and threw him into the unprepared backstage, as if it took a second. Not wanting to stay longer with him.

  Now there is about an hour before the performance time. The scene is not ready yet, and some preparations are still being done in the backstage. Because the entire evening performance is recorded and broadcasted by the American CBS TV station, there are also several camera positions in the background that need to be arranged. However, the position of the camera is fixed, and only a few fixed areas in the rest area, waiting area and passageway can be photographed, which is far less freedom than Xiao Yao's freedom to walk around with the camera.

   With a camera on his neck and a camera bag on his shoulder, Xiao Yao appeared in the backstage, and immediately attracted the attention of most people in the backstage. Since it was still early, none of the three groups of performers arrived, and only a part of the models arrived. The biggest brand Betty Beilette hasn't come yet, but the two Chinese models Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi who participated for the first time have all arrived.

As preparations were still going on at the scene, Xiao Yao did not run around to affect other people's work, so he found a quiet corner to sit down and rest, but his casual manipulation of the camera made the models a little nervous .

Xiao Yao didn't take the initiative to find the two Chinese models he knew, but Yin Xi took the initiative to come over, and smiled and whispered in Xiao Yao's ear: "Children, be merciful, what do you mean by that word? By the way, please. Light abuse."

   Xiao Yao almost sprayed out a mouthful of old blood, looking at Yin Xi with an expression of being defeated by you. "Sister, the camera is here," Xiao Yao pointed to the camera on one side, "could you not be so unscrupulous."

  "What are you afraid of? They don't understand the Chinese we speak." Yin Xi said indifferently.

   "Sister, do you know that there is another profession in this world called translator, is it difficult to find a Chinese translator?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes.

   "That's not afraid, we are all Chinese, and you should be partial to me." Yin Xi was confident.

   "Sister, you are really big and promising, I am optimistic about you." Xiao Yao gave a thumbs up.

Yin Xi snorted, wrinkled his nose, and stood up and said, "That's it, I'll change my clothes and warn you that you are not allowed to follow you for sneak shots." Before the official opening of the show, he changed his underwear. The clothes are convenient and the speed is improved. The models are all dressed in yukatas on standby. Not long after Yin Xi arrived, he was still in casual clothes and had not changed his yukata.

   "Are you inviting me to change directions? You know I have permission to enter the dressing area." Xiao Yao raised his camera.

"Dare you!" Yin Xi turned around and stared at Xiao Yao. His right hand stretched out his **** to compare Bi Xiaoyao's eyes, meaning to be careful. I poke your dog's eyes and threatened him before Yin Xi turned around. Go to the dressing area.

   Xiao Yao smiled, but did not get up to follow. It’s not that he doesn’t dare, but he thinks it’s meaningless to simply take photos of changing clothes, and now that the performance has not started, most of the attention of everyone who has no sense of urgency is on his body, it is difficult to take pictures What interesting photos.

  When the performance really starts, the backstage gets busy, everyone’s attention is on the show and Xiao Yao is ignored, that’s the moment for him to perform.

  Betty Belet arrived half an hour before the show, which is not a big deal at all. She is a contracted model of Eva Show, and Eva is also the biggest and most important part of her business contract. Naturally, she will not trouble her owner.

  A few more minutes later, the three groups of performers also arrived one after another. All the equipment on the scene has been installed and arranged, and the final test and commissioning phase is entered.

  This year is the tenth year of the Eva Show. Eva attaches great importance to it from all over the world, and the preparations are also very adequate and thoughtful, but even so, it will not prevent the occurrence of natural disasters and man-made disasters.

   Ten minutes before the official start of the performance, the accident really happened. It was not the model or the staff who had the accident, but the invited performers. The keyboard player of the pop rock band among the guest performers, after spending more than ten minutes in the bathroom, was lifted out with his right wrist and was taken directly to the hospital.

  It is said that he slipped and fell in the bathroom, and then it was extremely coincidental. When he slipped and fell, his right hand was supported on the ground. As a result, the position and strength of that moment were not correct, and the wrist was injured. On the surface, it is estimated to be a wrist contusion. As a keyboard player, his hands are like eating guys. Not to mention that he can't play the piano because of a contusion of his wrist, but he can barely play. No one asks him to risk his career for a show.

   Dunn Giani, who got the news, jumped angrily, but for this kind of thing, even if he wanted to find someone to vent his anger, he couldn’t find a suitable one. Was it blame the cleaner for cleaning the floor too clean?

   Complained that the problem could not be solved. In the face of this unexpected situation, Dunn Giani could only find the members of the band to discuss a solution for the first time.

  Before the performers came on stage, they were also waiting in the backstage, so Dunn went directly to the backstage of the performance.

   "Eric, is it possible to perform without a keyboard?" Dunn asked the captain of the band called Binoxi and Eric Byrne, who is also the lead singer and deputy guitarist.

   "It's impossible," Eric Byrne shook his head, "The sound of the keyboard in the soundtrack of this song is very important. There is a solo with a keyboard, and you can't perform it without a keyboard player."

   "What about a new song?" Dunn made another suggestion.

"I don't recommend changing the song." Eric said, "First of all, most of our songs, the keyboard sound is very important. Second, these days, we have been rehearsing this song, temporarily changing the song. I can’t guarantee the on-site effect. Third, I’m not sure about the control of the length of time when I change to another song. I’m worried that there will be problems with the timing of the model’s show."

   "What do you mean?" Dunn had nothing to say, only asked Eric.

"Find a keyboard player to save the field." Eric said: "The time rhythm is controlled by the drummer. I only need him to memorize the score, make no mistakes in playing, and work well with ours, and it is the drummer. It’s fine to complete the solo stage under the leadership. Even so, this requirement is a bit high and requires a very good keyboard player to do it."

"In this situation, where should I go to find you a keyboard player temporarily?" Dunn sighed, "Today's audience, there are many stars in the music circle, but there are pure singers and band lead singers. There is no shortage of people who can play the guitar, but there is really no one who is famous for playing the keyboard."

  As the most important model in this show, Betty Betty is also by Dunn's side at this time. Hearing this, Betty suddenly thought of someone alone. He raised his head and scanned around in the background and saw a guy in a corner holding a camera facing this side who was taking a picture. He stretched his hand to that side and said to Dunn and Eric: "Dun, Eric, I I think he can try it."

   "Who?" Dunn and Eric looked up in the direction Betty pointed at at the same time, just in time to see Xiao Yao who put down the camera and showed a stunned look.

   "Are you kidding me?" Dunn looked back at Betty.

   "Who is that guy?" Eric asked too, but it was Dunn.

   "That is the backstage photographer we hired this time, and he is only ten years old." Dunn replied.

  Eric heard the words and looked at Betty, and asked the same thing as Dunn: "Ten-year-old photographer, Betty, are you kidding?"

   "No," Betty raised her hand and said, "I mean it."

"Listen," Betty continued: "In the restaurant last night, I watched him play two piano pieces and his performance was very good. I also recorded it with my mobile phone, but now the mobile phone is not by my side. If you Don’t believe me, I can go take my phone and show it to you."

Seeing that there was no response from both of them, Betty did not rush to get the phone, but continued: "Qin and Yin told me that his father is a well-known musician in China, and he has been learning music since he was a child. Two He played piano and sang at his father’s wedding years ago, and he also experienced a scene of more than two hundred people. Dunn, you must think he is a genius in photography, that’s why you brought him here. In terms of music , I think he is also a genius."
