Entertaining Children

After Yin Xi left, Xiao Yao also left the room.

Before Yin Xi left, he said that he was going to Li Ya's place, so Xiao Yao naturally wouldn't go back to Li Ya's place. Li Ya was not the only star who came to try on dresses today. After Xiao Yao left the room, he went to other stars who were trying on dresses.

This time, the ones who came to try on the dresses were all the female stars who will appear at the awards ceremony tomorrow night, and the ones who attended the awards ceremony tomorrow night were basically actresses whose movies were released last year. Xiao Yao's current film works are not many, and he has worked with relatively few actors. Xiao Yao met these people, most of them were at the premiere of his own movie, and the friendship was not very deep, so Xiao Yao just walked around to say hello and exchange pleasantries as the host, and it didn't matter. Did not stay long.

However, due to the large number of people who came, it took Xiao Yao a lot of time to turn around. When Xiao Yao returned to the room where his crew Zhou Jingyi and others were trying on costumes, everyone had almost finished trying on them.

Relatively speaking, female stars can choose much more dress styles than male stars, and they are also much more gorgeous and complicated. For male celebrities, they usually wear suits. As long as the size is right, there is basically no problem. The dress styles of female stars are more complicated, and the requirements are more detailed.

When Xiao Yao came back, there were no problems with the gowns Muying and others tried on, but some small problems were found in the gowns of Zhou Jingyi and Samien, and some minor changes needed to be made. These changes are minor, though, and will suffice to complete this afternoon. After changing it today, I will try it on again tomorrow. It should not be a problem to walk the red carpet at night.

Speaking of Samien's dress, there is another interesting episode. Since Samien is not an actor but a drummer in a band, Samien once proposed the idea of ​​attending the award ceremony and walking the red carpet in a more neutral suit and dress. Xiao Yao also agreed, but was rejected by Xiao Yao. Yao's team, as well as the rest of the crew and band, collectively vetoed it.

The female drummer of the band has a very individual identity, and Samien herself is also a very individual person, but everyone doesn't want her to show that personality on the red carpet. Of course, another very important point is that Samien's appearance and figure are very good, and everyone doesn't want to waste such a good clothes rack!

This time, Xiao Yao did not insist on going his own way, and heeded the team's advice. With everyone's objections, Samien had no choice but to agree in the end.

After trying on the dresses, Xiao Yao went to Yin Xi to say hello, and then sent someone to send Mu Ying and the two American staff members of the crew back to the hotel to rest and let them move freely. Ka studio rehearsal. Before setting off, Xiao Yao contacted the artist management department of Qijia Studio and asked about Cheng Xi and Chen Chen's work schedule. After learning that the two of them had no activity schedule today and were free, they called the two to the studio and brought Zhou Jingyi with them.

Xiao Yao wanted to take the band members to Qi Jia's studio for rehearsal, so he naturally informed his parents. When Xiao Yao and his party arrived, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying greeted them personally and expressed their welcome. Xiao Yao lived at Smith's house for a year as an exchange student, and Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying later went to Smith's house to meet Mrs. Smith, so as long as the band members come to China and Yanjing, the couple are very enthusiastic.

Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying were a little surprised that Zhou Jingyi came together, but Xiao Yao explained that Zhou Jingyi wanted to get acquainted with Chen Chen and Cheng Xi, and when they exchanged dances, the two were soon relieved.

Chen Chen and Cheng Xi hadn't arrived yet. After exchanging greetings, Xiao Yao took the band to the music practice room for rehearsal, Xiao Siqi happily followed to watch, and Ye Jiaying enthusiastically took Zhou Jingyi to visit the studio.

Qi Jia Studio has two sections of music and film and television. Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying are each in charge of one section, and each of them has signed some artists. The facilities in the company are very complete. In addition to the administrative work area, there are not only professional recording studios, music practice rooms, but also gyms, dance practice rooms, and even a performance classroom full of various sceneries.

After Ye Jiaying took Zhou Jingyi to visit the studio, she sent Zhou Jingyi to the practice room where Xiao Yao and his band rehearsed, and sat with her to watch the band rehearsal, becoming the audience of the band rehearsal just like Xiao Siqi.

This time the Golden Dragon Awards ceremony, the band has a performance task, and what they will perform at the awards ceremony is the nominated song "It's My Life". This song is the theme song of the movie. It was a song more than a year ago. The lyrics, melody, and passages of various instruments are very familiar to the band members.

It's just that Xiao Yao didn't spend much time with the band during the past year or so. Except during the original recording period and at the movie premiere, the band didn't perform this song many times. A quartet with Dean as lead vocalist. This awards ceremony will resume the performance of the five-member band with Xiao Yao as the lead singer. Everyone needs to re-cultivate the tacit understanding of the five-member performance.

Since it is a song that everyone has performed before, it already has a mature performance model, and Xiao Siqi is just a pure observer and will not give any opinions. The rehearsal atmosphere is very relaxed, so Ye Jiaying and Zhou Jingyi's relatively quiet entry and observation will not have any interference or influence on the band's rehearsal.

After the band practiced for about half an hour, Chen Chen and Cheng Xi opened the door and entered.

Since Xiao Yao went to Shanghai to study at university, not to mention that Xiao Yao stopped coming to Qijia Studio at all, and the number of times he came was very limited. Chen Chen and Cheng Xi both had their own schedules, so they met even less often.

Seeing these two people come in, Xiao Yao stopped the band rehearsal with a wave, and stepped forward with a smile to give them a warm hug.

After the hug, Xiao Yao introduced the band members and Zhou Jingyi to them.

Chen Chen is a singer. Although he is a rapper, he plays music after all, so he is naturally more interested in the band members. As Cheng Xi is an actor and a girl, she is naturally more interested in Zhou Jingyi, a Chinese-American actress. However, after hearing Xiao Yao's introduction that Zhou Jingyi was a member of the dance troupe he participated in the hip-hop competition in the United States, Chen Chen's expression changed, revealing a dazed expression.

Back then, Xiao Yao and Chen Chen went to Yangcheng to participate in an electronic music program, and after a song "The Great Wall" shocked the audience, a South Korean captain questioned the patent issue of Xiao Yao's lighting suit, and the program team played the street dance of that year on the spot. Video of the competition finals. At the end of the dance part of the video, many people at the scene did not notice Xiao Yao for the first time. Instead, they were deeply impressed by the Chinese girl in the video who turned around many times at the end of the dance. Chen Chen was at the scene at the time and was one of them .

After remembering that this girl was the Chinese girl in the hip-hop competition back then, Chen Chen's interest in Zhou Jingyi immediately increased a lot.

It was almost noon when Chen Chen and Cheng Xi came over. Since Xiao Yao stopped rehearsing, Ye Jiaying proposed to invite everyone out for lunch. These people are guests from afar, Ye Jiaying, as a parent, entertained them as she should. The task of this rehearsal is not heavy, and the time is not tight. Xiao Yao does not have to drag others to eat boxed lunches during the rehearsal, so naturally he will not object. Xiao Yao had no objection, and of course the others would not take Ye Jiaying's face off, so naturally they all agreed.

Zhou Jingyi heard from Xiao Yao in the morning that both Chen Chen and Cheng Xi had transformed from dancers in the dance troupe. Because they had similar experiences, during lunch, Zhou Jingyi chatted with Chen Chen and Cheng Xi about the dance troupe naturally.

Although some members have been replaced, the "Chenxi" dance troupe has always existed as a contracted backup dance team under Qijia Studio. Although Chen Chen and Cheng Xi had transformed, since there were still some members of the same period in the dance troupe, they had always kept in touch with the dance troupe. Especially Chen Chen, a rapper, often uses a backup dance team during performances, so he has a very close relationship with the dance troupe. Since neither of them broke contact with the dance troupe, the dance troupe has not even changed its name, and it is still named after them.

Zhou Jingyi's "Torrent" dance troupe has been disbanded. Even though she kept in touch with Paul, TJ and others, the dance troupe had disbanded after all, so when she heard that the dance troupe of Chen Chen and Cheng Xi was still there, Zhou Jingyi obviously showed a very envious expression.

"Chen'er, Cheng Xi, my band will be rehearsing this afternoon, you are fine today, why don't you greet Jin for me!" Seeing Zhou Jingyi's expression, Xiao Yao took advantage of the situation, "The dance troupe didn't perform today, right? Is there any training today? Why don't you take her to the dance troupe?"

"Did the dance troupe not perform today?" Chen Chen asked.

After all, they have transformed and are no longer members of the dance troupe. Chen Chen and Cheng Xi are not very clear about the daily schedule of the dance troupe.

"No!" Xiao Siqi said.

Qi Jia Studio signed the contract with this dance troupe mainly to provide backup dancers for the singers under the studio, but after signing the contract, it is the artistes of the studio, and they are not just backup dancers for their own singers, the studio will also help them contact some performances Chance. Alternatively, they can go out and find some acting opportunities on their own. However, the performance opportunities they found themselves had to be reported to the company. On the one hand, the company will take a slightly lower percentage of commission for this kind of work activities, and on the other hand, it is more important to avoid conflicts with the company's work arrangements.

The dance troupe is mainly to accompany the singers, so in the studio, they are managed by Xiao Siqi. Of course Xiao Siqi doesn't go to know about the dance troupe's dynamics every day, but he is the boss, and the relevant personnel in the studio will routinely report to him the dynamics of the artists under his banner. He just remembers that the dance troupe has no work arrangements these days.

"As long as there is no performance!" Chen Chen nodded with a smile, "With such a great god here, it's okay to call them together temporarily!"

"Jin, are you interested in visiting our dance troupe?" Chen Chen said to Zhou Jingyi, "Although our dance troupe is signed by Qijia Studio, we have established our own dance studio and have our own rehearsal room , in another place than the one you visited this morning."

Although both Chen Chen and Cheng Xi came from a dance troupe, Cheng Xi was more of an academic and modern dancer, while Chen Chen was a hip-hop dancer. Zhou Jingyi had participated in a street dance competition, but of the two, Chen Chen was more interested in Zhou Jingyi.

"Okay, I really want to see what your Huaxia dance troupe looks like!" Zhou Jingyi laughed.

Of course Zhou Jingyi wanted to stay with Xiao Yao more, but Xiao Yao had to rehearse with the band in the afternoon. Although Zhou Jingyi is a dancer and likes music, she is even worse at music. Even if you sit on the sidelines and watch him rehearse, it is difficult to communicate with him in your spare time. Looking at Xiao Yao's rehearsal alone, she first became interested in him when she peeked at Xiao Yao's rehearsal in the warehouse of the supermarket. That memory is very precious to her, and she doesn't want to dilute it with other similar scenes.

"By the way," Zhou Jingyi said to Chen Chen again, "I may participate in a dance show in Huaxia in a while, and I may need a backup dance group. I can ask your dance troupe to be my dance group to perform with me on stage ?"

"Cooperate on a variety show? Of course!" Chen Chen said happily.

Although the current official captain of the dance troupe is Li Zhifeng, based on the relationship between Chen Chen, Li Zhifeng and the old members of the dance troupe, there is no problem for him to help Li Zhifeng be the master.

"However." Chen Chen looked at Xiao Siqi again and said, "Our dance troupe signed a contract with Qi Jia's studio. If we want to be on the show, we still need the company's approval!"

The studio allows the dance troupe to take on their own work, but only if it does not conflict with the work arranged by the studio. Chen Chen was not afraid that the company would disagree, but mainly because he was afraid that there would be conflicts with other work schedules arranged by the company. Chen Chen could make decisions for Li Zhifeng, but not for Xiao Siqi.

"Cooperate with friends from Bayi, of course I fully support it!" Xiao Siqi laughed, "At that time, you will inform the company of the schedule and time of the cooperation between the dance troupe and Jin in advance. During that time, the company will not arrange other work for the dance troupe. Also helped the dance troupe push!"

"Then there's no problem!" Chen Chen laughed.

"Wait!" Xiao Yao looked at Chen Chen and said, "It's okay for the company to arrange this way, but you have to think about it! Duo'er will also participate in that dance show, and maybe you will need your dance troupe as backup dancers at that time." .”

Zhou Jingyi turned her head and glanced at Xiao Yao.

"What? Duo'er is also participating in the dance show?" Chen Chen was surprised.

Both Cheng Xi and Xiao Siqi showed surprised expressions. The four members of the band knew about it last night, and they behaved very calmly, even with a hint of "as expected" in their expressions.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded and said, "The show they are going to participate in is "Dancing with the Stars" of Donghai Satellite TV. Duo'er has flown to Shencheng today to contact the program group in person, just to ensure that she and Jindu To be a guest of honor this season.”

"It shouldn't be a problem for the two of them to participate in the show at the same time." Xiao Yao asked Chen Chen, "If they all find your dance company as backup dancers, what are you going to do?"

"This~" Chen Chen hesitated for a moment, and asked Xiao Yao, "Then whoever you want us to dance with, we will dance with whoever you want!"

"I don't care!" Xiao Yao laughed, "I'm no longer a member of the dance troupe."

"Then let's listen to the boss!" Chen Chen looked at Xiao Siqi.

"Of course..." Xiao Siqi was about to speak, when he suddenly felt that Ye Jiaying touched him secretly, and immediately changed his words with a smile, "Our company only gives your dance company a free schedule, and you decide who to dance with when the time comes. Anyway, one There is no difference between the program and the company!"

"That's up to you!" Chen Chen looked at Xiao Yao again, "You are the little boss of the company!"

"What little boss? My parents haven't given me the shares in the studio. I don't have any position in Qi Jia's studio. I'm not even Qi Jia's signed artist. Why should I decide the studio's affairs?" Xiao Yao laughed.

"Not the boss, but a friend!" Chen Chen said, "As a friend, it's okay to give some advice, right?"

"As a friend, I can only say that no matter how you choose, I will not have any opinion on you." Xiao Yao said, "As for whether Doer will have any opinion on you, I can't guarantee it! You yourself Think it through!"

"Xi'er~" Chen Chen looked at Cheng Xi helplessly.

Cheng Xi glared at Chen Chen, and said with a smile, "Let's talk about this later. Let's gather people together this afternoon and let Jin have a look. It doesn't matter whether Jin likes our dance troupe or not!"
