Entertaining Children

"Bayi brought something here, can I take a look first?" Zhu Zitong who was beside Zhao Rui tilted his body, looked at the position of Zhao Rui's pocket, and asked in a low voice excitedly.

Nina Aiguli on the side didn't speak, but looked at Xiao Yao expectantly.

"I said you can't let Duo'er find out in advance!" Before Xiao Yao could speak, Zhao Rui said to Zhu Zitong, "Duo'er and Xiao Yao walked on the red carpet together, and she may come in at any time. What if she happens to come in and see when you are watching?" What should I do? After the game is over, you can ask Duoer to come over to see if it's okay, she will definitely not be reluctant to show you a glance."

"I can't help but be curious," Zhu Zitong said, glaring at Zhao Rui. "Even if she comes in, she will have to walk for a while to get to our place. Help me keep an eye on the entrance, and if you see her coming in, remind me that we will hide immediately." In time!"

"This~" Zhao Rui looked up at Xiao Yao hesitantly, but saw an on-site reporter holding a microphone with the Haiyan video logo and a cameraman walking towards them, turned to Zhu Zitong and said, "Reporter Here we come! This is a live broadcast, and it's not good for them to see it."

It turned out that the on-site reporter of the Haiyan video saw Xiao Yao walking next to Zhao Rui and the others, hesitated a little, and followed with the cameraman.

Although Zhao Rui and others were neither team members nor performers, and were not arranged to walk the red carpet, they were also star audiences sitting in the second row, and they could also be interviewed by reporters on the spot. The relationship between Zhao Rui and others and Xiao Yao has long been known. When they appeared in the audience, they must have come to cheer for Xiao Yao, so interviewing them is also a very good choice.

When Zhu Zitong saw the reporter coming, he immediately put on an excited expression, raised his fist and said cheers to Xiao Yao with a smile, and stopped talking about the topic just now.

Xiao Yao turned his back to the reporter. After hearing Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong's words, he also knew that the reporter was coming, so he didn't rush to leave the stage to warm up, but raised his fist to touch them one by one.

"Hello, can I interview you?" When the on-site reporter walked in front of them, he saw Xiao Yao interacting with them, and asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Xiao Yao turned around and nodded with a smile.

"I pulled Xiao Yao to interview just now, but he told me to wait. I thought he had something important to do? So he wanted to come over to say hello to you first. It seems that your relationship is really good!" The reporter at the scene did not rush to interview Xiao Yao, but smiled at Zhao Rui and others first.

"That's right!" Zhao Rui nodded with a smile, "There must be nothing to say about our relationship!"

If it is usual,

Zhao Rui had to tease Xiao Yao a few words, but now that the reporter could not know the real reason, Zhao Rui could only play the role of "brotherly love" very rarely.

"Then what kind of performance do you think Xiao Yao can perform in this competition? Do you have any requirements or expectations for him?" The reporter on the scene asked Zhao Rui and others.

On this occasion, the questions asked by the on-site reporters were basically not beyond the expected range of Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and others, which means that the latter questions were quite "official".

Before the on-site reporter finished interviewing Xiao Yao and the others, Sun Tingting, who had changed into light casual clothes, also came to the auditorium. The on-site reporter naturally included Sun Tingting in the scope of her interview.

When Sun Tingting came over, Xiao Yao got up and gave Sun Tingting his seat, shook her hand, and went down to the court to warm up. Before Sun Tingting came, Xiao Yao also answered a few questions from the reporter. It was not the first time for the rest of these people to face reporters, and they had no problem dealing with reporters by themselves, and they didn't need Xiao Yao's company.

Xiao Yao went down to the court, walked to the half of the court where his team was located, and after saying hello to a few teammates who arrived first, took out a basketball from the basket on the side of the court, and started shooting practice on the court. Waiting for the game to officially start.

After a while, all the team members arrived. The head coaches of both sides rushed all the players to the field and officially started the pre-match warm-up.

At this time, the audience has almost arrived. Looking at the performance of the players on both sides during the warm-up, there were bursts of cheers and screams at the scene.

After the warm-up is over, it is the appearance ceremony of the players of both sides.

The players from both sides returned to the bench under the reminder of the staff. The staff quickly took away the warm-up basketballs that were bouncing around on the court and cleared the court.

The All-Star Celebrity Game of the Huaxia Professional League is organized according to the NBA Celebrity Game process. When the players came out, they walked from the benches of both sides to the center of the court, instead of coming out of the player channel like in the charity game. The staff arranged two small red carpets on the court, and a group of cheerleaders ran up and stood on both sides of the red carpet.

As the live music and the voice of the host sounded, the players from both sides began to appear.

The first to play is the head coach of both sides. The head coaches of both sides of the NBA Masters game that Xiao Yao participated in were beautiful anchors. There are also beautiful anchors appearing in Huaxia's current basketball game broadcasts, but there are no such professional beauty anchors as game commentators like the United States. Instead, they are responsible for reading advertisements, fans' messages, and interacting with fans during the pause time. Huaxia has no beautiful anchors who can serve as the head coach of the Masters, so the head coaches of both sides of the Masters are well-known expert commentators, and they are all men.

After the head coach, the two sides ranked second to play are retired former professional players. These two former professional players have not been officially given the title of assistant coaches, but no matter what, former professional players are former professional players, and they are the most professional among all players. He has the right to speak, so he was arranged to appear in the second place.

After that, non-professional players played one by one. Basically, the identities of players with the same order of appearance on both sides are also corresponding. For example, actors vs. actors, singers vs. singers, athletes from other sports vs. athletes from other sports, and female players vs. female players. This is consistent with the NBA Masters. The only difference is that the age span of these players is not that big, there are no children or old people, and they are basically young adults.

In the finale, the captains of both sides and the most popular star appeared. Of course, Xiao Yao is on the Northern Celebrity Team, while this one on the Southern Team is a Treasure Island entertainer named Zheng Zhebin.

Zheng Zhebin is 36 years old this year. He debuted as a singer at the age of 18. His debut album was a blockbuster. Within a few years, he was called the little king of the music scene, and his subsequent albums also achieved great results. In the nearly 20 years since his debut, he has not only had great influence in the Taiwan area, but also in the mainland. He can be said to be one of the iconic figures of an era in the entertainment industry.

Speaking of which, this Zheng Zhebin has many similarities with Xiao Yao. First of all, Zheng Zhebin is also a singer-songwriter. Not only are all the songs basically original, but he has also written songs for others. Secondly, he was relatively young when he debuted, and he became famous as a teenager. What's more, he is not only a singer and musician, but also later transformed into film and television, and is also an actor, screenwriter and director. Not only has he acted in movies, but he has also written, directed and acted in movies. In addition, he is also involved in the fashion industry and has his own fashion brand, which includes clothing and shoes.

In view of the similarities between the two in various aspects, some media compared the two together, saying that Xiao Yao is the "little Zheng Zhebin" in the mainland. However, most of the mainland media and the public, especially Xiao Yao's fans, do not agree with this statement.

First of all, the origin and family background of the two are different. Zheng Zhebin was born in a single family, and his mother is an ordinary person. Although Xiao Yao also experienced a single family for a period of time, it only lasted for less than five years. What's more, Xiao Yao's grandfather and stepmother are well-known An actor, his father is a singer-songwriter, and his family background is much stronger than that of Zheng Zhebin. The difference in origin and growth environment also determines that the development path of the two is unlikely to be as imaginable.

In terms of academic background, Zheng Zhebin dropped out of high school and devoted himself to music, while Xiao Yao was the top scorer in both the college entrance examination and art examination in the Mainland. People are definitely incomparable.

In terms of qualifications, Xiao Yao is definitely not as good as Zheng Zhebin. In terms of the sales of music works, the number of music awards and the number of film and television works, Xiao Yao is not as good as Zheng Zhebin, but that is all because of the difference in age and debut time between the two. .

In terms of creative talent in music, the two of them are still not sure who is better than the other, but Xiao Yao's music style is much richer than that of Zheng Zhebin. Zheng Zhebin’s little music star is the RNB little king. Although he also sang some other types of songs, the style and impression of the album are still RNB singers. However, Xiao Yao's style is a bit mixed, including folk songs, pop, rock, electronic music and even Beijing rhyme. Judging from Xiao Yao's singing skills in those works, many people think that although Xiao Yao is younger than Zheng Zhebin, his singing skills are better than Zheng Zhebin.

In terms of film and television, although Zheng Zhebin has also won two Best New Actor awards for one movie, there has only been one award-winning movie in so many years. Since then, he has been missing various awards. And Xiao Yao has acted in a drama since he was eight years old. The first TV series won the best new actor award in TV series as a supporting role, and the first movie won the best new actor award in the film category as a leading role. The skills and acting skills shown in programs like "Sound on the Scene" must be far superior to Zheng Zhebin.

As a screenwriter and director, Zheng Zhebin has only had two films in more than ten years. The scores of both films are not bad, but they did not win any heavyweight awards. Xiao Yao's current film works are not many, but the first short film directly won an award at the Clermont-Ferrand Short Film International Film Festival known as "Short Film Cannes". Both the film festival and the film awards won the award for the best animated film, and there were more nominations. Although the first live-action film co-directed with others has no tendency to win the best film and best director, but this is also limited by the subject matter. At least in terms of potential, Xiao Yao seems to be far superior to Zheng Zhebin.

But no matter how you say it, both of them are the most well-known and popular players in their respective teams. Most people are not very surprised that these two will appear as the finale of their respective teams. When the two made their debut, they also received the most enthusiastic cheers and screams from the audience.

Although Zheng Zhebin is thirty-six years old and married and has children, his personality is still very lively. After walking to the middle of the stadium with Xiao Yao, he greeted Xiao Yao enthusiastically when they met for the first time, shaking arms and thumping his back.

During the appearance stage of the Masters, the on-site host only interviewed the captains of both sides at the end. When the host interviewed the two, Zheng Zhebin, who was still very enthusiastic just now, immediately changed his face, and spoke harsh words to Xiao Yao very directly. In comparison, Xiao Yao's speech was much gentler. He just smiled and said that he wanted to win, and he didn't care much about personal honor. It sounded very official.

After the appearance ceremony, the players of the two teams returned to the bench. The staff quickly cleaned up the venue, put on musical instruments and other audio equipment, and prepared for the opening performance.

There are two groups of guests for the opening performance. One is an emerging rock band that has become popular in the past two years. They brought a rock song to everyone on the scene, which quickly raised the atmosphere of the scene. Another group of performers is Xiao Yao's acquaintance, the 101 girl group.

This girl group selected through a variety show is said to be a limited-time girl group. It is reasonable to say that it should be disbanded at the end of last year, but I don’t know if the value of this girl group has not been tapped yet. Haiyan Entertainment discussed with various companies. It was announced to extend the limited time of this girl group, but the members of the girl group are allowed to return to the original company to participate in activities, and even participate in other groups to carry out two groups in parallel. When they need to appear together, they can still get together to participate in activities.

Haiyan Video is the network broadcaster of this All-Star Weekend, so it is natural that this girl group has been brought in as a guest performer.

After the 101 Girls Group received the announcement of the event, they also contacted Xiao Yao and asked him to help prepare for the show. Sun Tingting accompanies and also needs to practice. There is no time, so the members of the girl group don't bother Xiao Yao anymore. So this time before the game, Xiao Yao had no contact with this girl group.

For Huaxia's All-Star Weekend Celebrity Competition, the girl group naturally wouldn't sing the Korean song that Xiao Yao wrote for them, but chose an inspirational song from before. The on-site effect, anyway, from Xiao Yao's perspective, I think it fits their status as a female idol group.

After the pre-match performance, the game officially began.

Three referees came onto the court with a basketball, and the starters of the two teams got up and walked onto the court.

In terms of starting lineups, both teams sent their former professional players and captains to the field. In the kick-off jump ball, the Southern Celebrity team was standing in the middle circle and ready to jump the ball. Their captain Zheng Zhebin, while the Northern Celebrity team was an actor named Zhao Tingxiao.

The jump ball personnel are determined by the previous team. Everyone knows that this kind of game will not allow former professional players to jump the ball. Yi Yang originally wanted Xiao Yao to jump the ball and try to win the first offensive ball, but Xiao Yao refused. Zhao Tingxiao, who has a relatively low sense of presence.

"Xiao Yao, why don't you take the jump ball instead?" Seeing Zheng Zhebin standing opposite, Zhao Tingxiao signaled to the referee, asked the referee to pause, and turned to Xiao Yao.

Both sides' starting lineups did not include any female players. Zhao Tingxiao saw that the captain was dispatched on the opposite side, so he wanted to change Xiao Yao up to confront the opponent, and it was also a topic to talk about.

"No need!" Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hands, "I believe in you, and I can definitely win against Zheng Zhebin! Remember to dial back, I'll just wait and grab the basketball you won."

"Okay!" Zhao Tingxiao saw that Xiao Yao was unwilling, so he didn't force it. He looked back at the referee and signaled that he could start.

The referee standing in the middle circle picked up the basketball and threw it into the air. Zheng Zhebin and Zhao Tingxiao immediately jumped up with their arms raised.
