Entertaining Children

The meaning of Keith's words is obviously that Xiao Yao, a Chinese boy, has a musical talent and musical quality that surpass Bill Justin, the most popular young musical genius in the United States.

Although James Waco also thought that Xiao Yao's performance was very good, James, who is also an American young man, was still a little upset when he heard Keith say that American teenagers were not as good as Chinese teenagers.

It is not easy for James to directly refute Keith's words. On the one hand, given Keith's identity and age, it is very inappropriate for him to question and refute casually on this occasion. The more important thing is that James is not a music major. Even if he questioned and refuted, he couldn't say anything substantive. In order to save the face of some American teenagers, James decided to open the eyes of Xiao Yao, a kid from China, in other ways.

"Keith, Ron, the recording is over now, is there any other arrangement?" James said to Keith and Ron, who were listening to the recording results with a monitor earphone each.

"Well... we're going to do some post-processing on the song we just recorded," Keith replied.

After thinking for a while, Keith said to the band members on the side: "Your work is done, you can go. After the post-production is completed, I will send a copy to Yang. Is it ok for you?"

"Okay," Xiao Yao nodded in thanks, "Thank you, Keith."

"You're welcome, remember what you promised me." Keith reminded with a smile.

"What did you promise him?" Samion asked nervously.

"I promised Keith that our band will give them an opening performance at the "Daydream" concert in Los Angeles before Christmas." Xiao Yao explained, "I'm sorry that everyone made this decision without approval. , but I think this is a rare and good opportunity, so I agreed to it. I hope you have no objection to this."

"Oh." Samien said with a relaxed expression.

"Of course I have no objection." Dean, Mike, and George said excitedly. Opening for them at the "Daydream" concert, it was a dream opportunity for their student band.

"Okay, we're going to work. You young people go play on your own." Ron also said hurriedly, "This is Los Angeles, there are many interesting places."

"Yeah, it's been three months since Yang came here, and he's been staying in Calabasas all the time. Except for passing by on the first day, he hasn't been to Los Angeles yet." Dean also patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder and said, " Anyway, today is the weekend, we might as well have a good time in Los Angeles before going back."

"ok,

Then we'll have a good time in Los Angeles, and then I'll go back with you. "Xiao Yao nodded.

"Keith, I went back directly with my friends afterwards, and you can arrange a car to take me off to save you trouble. Please say goodbye to Betty for me." Xiao Yao said to Keith Craig again.

"Well, I will contact you later." Keith waved his hand.

After saying goodbye to Keith and Ron, the band members left Keith's recording studio. Before everyone discussed where to go, James Waco chased after him.

"Hey, where are you going?" James asked the band members, "Don't tell me to go to the Avenue of Stars, Disney, Universal Studios, etc. Those are places where tourists go for sightseeing, you won't be so tacky, will you? "

"So you have a good recommendation?" Xiao Yao looked at James strangely and asked.

"Yes," James nodded, "I'll take you to see what the coolest young people in Los Angeles are playing."

"It is a new sport, it should be regarded as a kind of extreme sports. It has only been about two years since its appearance, and it has just begun to become popular among young people in major cities around the world. It is very trendy." James continued He introduced, "It just so happens that there will be an event this afternoon. I know the location, why don't I take you there to open your eyes."

"Yang? What do you think?" The rest of the band turned their attention to Xiao Yao. After all, the four of them grew up in Calabasas next to Los Angeles. They have been to those famous scenic spots in Los Angeles long ago, and this time it was mainly to accompany Xiao Yao.

"I'm more interested in what James said." Xiao Yao smiled. Although he had been staying in Calabasas for the past three months, he had been to Los Angeles before when he was taking pictures with Chen Xuan, and he had already been to those famous attractions.

"But there are six of us, and only one car." Samien frowned in embarrassment. A car is full for five people, but it is too crowded for six people. Like Xiao Yao, James came here in Keith's car, but he was not seen driving here.

"I borrowed Ron's car." James raised the car key in his hand, "Anyway, he and Keith will have to make music for a long time in the later stage, so they don't need a car for the time being." It turns out that the reason why James came out earlier than the band members It was late because he went to borrow a car from Ron.

"Okay, let's go. You lead the way, and we will follow you." Saying that, the five members of the band squeezed into a car tacitly.

James didn't care about it, got into Ron's car and drove to his destination.

After arriving at the destination, Dean and the others looked at the place in front of them strangely after getting off the car.

"Didn't you say extreme sports? Why are you in the residential area?" Dean asked James, who was smiling excitedly. "By the way, I didn't expect such a residential area to exist in Los Angeles."

What they are currently in is a slightly old residential area, most of which are buildings of one or two floors and no more than three floors. However, unlike middle-class residential areas, which are mostly single-family houses, most of these buildings are connected Together, especially in the open space in front of the building, besides the lawn, there are also undulating steps, slopes and railings. Many low walls used as partitions and ladder railings also created a lot of wide or narrow small passages.

"This kind of sport is played in this kind of place." James explained with a smile: "It's not like extreme sports like skateboarding or cycling. It's originally a kind of sport that takes scenes from everyday urban life as its venue."

"Look," James pointed to a group of people running through the building, "There are no established rules and movements, just running, jumping, and crossing these simple movements, but you can give full play to your imagination and use your own unique It’s the art of maneuvering through any known and unknown environment with speed, efficiency, and reliability, relying on one’s strength and fitness. Isn’t it cool?”

Seeing the group of people using all kinds of unimaginable movements to cross obstacles one after another, fast, smooth and very flexible, which is both novel and highly ornamental, they nodded involuntarily.

"By the way, this sport is called..." James finally introduced the name of the sport.

"Parkour!" A voice picked up James' words.

James looked back in surprise, and found that the speaker was Xiao Yao, the Chinese boy he wanted to bring to the world. At this time, Xiao Yao crossed his hands and fingers, turned his palms and stretched his arms forward. At the same time, when he moved his neck from side to side, he could still hear a slight "click".

"You know?" James looked at Xiao Yao in disbelief.

"Of course, I also played it when I was in Huaxia." Xiao Yao replied with a smile.

After briefly moving his body, Xiao Yao took off his upper body coat and said to James: "It's been a long time since I ran. Now that I see it, I want to run too. Those people probably won't mind my joining, right?" ?”

"Of course, this is a very open event, anyone can join in and play." James replied subconsciously. Then he reacted and asked again: "Are you sure you can play? Look at their moves. This sport is quite dangerous. The terrain in this place today is also relatively complicated. It is not recommended for inexperienced or inexperienced players." People get involved rashly."

"Yeah, it's really dangerous to look at, just let's take a look at it, you still don't want to take risks." Mike and George also said with some concern, "We still have to warm up for "Daydream" before Christmas." The mission of the performance, in case you get injured, break a bone or something, it may affect the performance at that time."

"The art of sports that controls any known and unknown environment. Who said this? It sums it up really well." Xiao Yao praised in his heart, and then comforted Mike and George with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not reckless Man. I really have experience playing this, the ability to properly control the danger and minimize it."

"I trust Jan!" Dean stood up and said, "Jan always knows what he's doing."

There was also some worry on Samien's face, but she seemed hesitant to speak, and she still didn't say anything in the end.

Throwing his coat into the car Samien drove, Xiao Yao walked slowly to the side of the building complex, and chose a starting point at random.

Taking a few deep breaths and adjusting his breathing, Xiao Yao squatted down and rushed out.

The first obstacle in front of him was a low wall about one meter high, which was used as a partition. Xiao Yao lowered his center of gravity, raised his arms, and jumped forward. Put your hands on the wall, lift your body up, put your feet in front of you, bend your knees and draw in your abdomen. Press down with both hands at the same time, when the body reaches above the obstacle, move the hands back, let the body slide forward naturally through inertia, and then cross the low wall briskly.

"King Kong jump!" James whispered.

Xiao Yao wanted to play parkour, and the rest of the band followed suit. James thought that his skills were relatively poor, and he did not run with Xiao Yao when he was still in the basic practice stage. Instead, he stood with the rest of the band and watched Xiao Yao run.

The members of the band turned their heads to look at James, and instantly understood that it was James calling out the name of Xiao Yao's action. It can be seen from this that Xiao Yao really has a lot of experience in playing this game.

Monkey jumping, cat climbing, kicking on the wall, grabbing the railing with one hand, and grabbing the wall with the other hand were made during Xiao Yao's running, and they all jumped out of James' mouth one by one. . Especially the many front, back and side flips that Xiao Yao usually added when crossing or jumping, James was too surprised to shut his mouth.

In addition to the gorgeous and beautiful movements, Xiao Yao's entire running is also very smooth and fast, so those young people who were already running were surpassed by Xiao Yao one by one.

Xiao Yao's actions like this naturally attracted everyone's attention. Even many running people stopped unconsciously after seeing Xiao Yao surpassing themselves with various difficult movements, and looked at Xiao Yao intently. run away.

Since it is running, it is natural that there is a position to move. It was impossible for the members of the band and James to watch the whole process of Xiao Yao's running, so they had to run with Xiao Yao. It's just that Xiao Yao is running over obstacles in various cool ways, and they are constantly moving their positions according to Xiao Yao's running route.

Their run naturally attracted the attention of others. The members of the band were all unfamiliar faces, and everyone didn't pay much attention to them. James Waco often hung out with them, a group of parkour enthusiasts. Everyone knew him very well, so they gathered around to ask him about it. Xiao Yao.

"Jim, you know that guy?"

"Jimmy, I just saw that you guys came together. Where did you find such a powerful guy?" (To be continued.)
