Entertaining Children

Accompanied by the shouts of the guests and the audience, the lights behind and above the circular stage at the rear were simultaneously lit up. The band members who were ready also appeared in everyone's sight.

Seeing the band members appearing on the stage, the guests and audience at the scene gave a burst of applause.

The audience on the upper and lower floors of the Grohl Theater is more than 3,000 people, which is half the number of people in the "Daydream" Los Angeles concert. Although the occasion was more important, the band members who had already been baptized by a big scene were not as nervous as that time. Moreover, this is a more formal occasion, and it is impossible for the audience to act as enthusiastically as the audience at the concert. The band does not need to worry too much about the atmosphere of the scene, nor does it need to adjust the emotions of the audience, so there is no need to talk to the audience. They can focus more on their performances when they interact. For them, this performance seems to be easier.

This time the performance did not have the rhythm of Samion hitting the drumsticks with each other, but Mike started the performance directly by pressing the prelude on the electronic keyboard.

When the lights on the stage in the performance area were turned on, a close-up picture of the entire band was also cut out on the big screen at the scene. The audience at the scene could clearly see the five members of the band on the big screen, and at the same time, countless audiences who watched the live broadcast of the awards ceremony also saw the appearance of this young band member.

"Look, Bayi's outfit is really nice, quite rock-and-roll style." Sitting on the sofa in the living room at home, Xiao Siqi pointed to the figure of Xiao Yao on the TV screen and said to Ye Jiaying beside him.

Participating in the Oscar performance is also a very special thing. Although Xiao Yao did not announce it to the world on his Weibo and Post Bar, nor took the initiative to break the news to the media, he still called his parents. Therefore, on the day of the awards ceremony, Xiao Siqi and his wife both turned off their work for the day and waited in front of the TV at home early in the morning, waiting to see their son.

"It looks stronger, shoulders are wider, and chest is thicker. It seems that I have eaten beef and potatoes in the United States in the past six months." Ye Jiaying's focus is not on Xiao Yao's black leather jacket, white T-shirt and black overalls. He was wearing a rock and roll outfit with black half-height leather boots, but paid attention to Xiao Yao's figure.

As the prelude music sounded, the televised TV screen and the big screen at the scene switched synchronously to a close-up of Mike, and after the drums were added, it switched to a close-up of Samien.

There was no Xiao Yao on the TV screen for the time being, and Xiao Siqi laughed and teased his wife when he was free: "Seeing Bayi appearing at the Oscars, do you, the big actress, feel any envy, jealousy and hatred in your heart?"

"Cut~" Ye Jiaying gave her husband a blank look, and said, "Bayi is a guest performer, to sing, not to receive an award. If you want to say envy, jealousy and hatred, it should be your dad who plays music, right?" .Besides, my highest pursuit as an actor is in Cannes, not Oscar."

"Uh..." Xiao Siqi was immediately speechless by his wife.

"Hey, this girl is so beautiful, do you think Bayi will bring us a foreign girlfriend back?" Seeing the close-up of Samien on TV, Ye Jiaying suddenly had an idea.

"Bayi hasn't turned eighteen yet, why are you so anxious about his girlfriend? Everyone is afraid of their child falling in love early, but you seem to be afraid that the child will not fall in love early." Xiao Siqi said with a smile.

"Can our family be the same as ordinary people? Today's film and television colleges are different from ordinary colleges and universities. They support acting students to fall in love in college. Being more emotional will help them understand the characters and have a good understanding of their performances. Helpful. This principle is the same for Bayi. Besides, Bayi in our family is much more mature and sensible than other children since he was a child. We don’t have to worry about his puppy love. I worry that he is too high-spirited , have never been in love." Ye Jiaying said.

"Okay, okay, what you said makes sense." Xiao Siqi said with a smile, "But there are five members in their band and four boys, how do you know that this beautiful girl will fall in love with us Bayi.

"

"Look at the other three boys, in terms of body shape and appearance, which one can compare with our Bayi family?" Ye Jiaying said confidently, "In terms of talent, they are even more incomparable. Their current song is our Bayi family. Write it down." Ye Jiaying said proudly.

At this time, close-up shots of Dean, George, and Xiao Yao had appeared on the TV in turn, and the five members of the band had already given close-up shots of their faces, which is why Ye Jiaying said this.

"Okay, if Bayi really fell in love with this girl. But her girl is American, what if Bayi didn't bring her back, but instead stayed in the United States for her?" Xiao Siqi laughed Looking at his wife, he continued to tease her, "Their band has already been on the stage of the Oscars, and the starting point is already very high. With Bayi's ability and his English is so good, even if he stays in the United States to develop, he may not be able to There is no problem at all, right? What shall we do then? Go to the United States, or be thousands of miles away from my son? I have said before that it doesn’t matter if I retire in my 40s and let my son support me. What about you? Willing to have a son?"

"I hate it!" Ye Jiaying slapped Xiao Siqi on the shoulder in dissatisfaction, "Ba Yi will definitely not stay in the United States."

At the same time, some verification posts began to appear on Huaxia's network.

"Is anyone watching the Oscars ceremony like me? I seem to have seen Xiao Yao. The guitarist and second lead singer in the band "immortals" who is performing is Chinese. The more I look at it, the more I feel like Xiao Yao what?"

"The outline of the facial features is indeed very similar, but the body seems to be stronger than Xiao Yao, the shoulders seem to be wider than Xiao Yao, the chest is thicker, and the hairstyle is different, so I can't be sure."

"Xiao Yao is indeed an exchange student in the United States, but he hasn't revealed where the school is in the United States. I ask the insider for more clues."

"I just checked this band. It's a student band from a middle school in Calabasas, very close to Los Angeles. This year, this song has become popular in the United States. But the information only says that the guitarist's name is young, not With more information, it is impossible to confirm whether this is Xiao Yao."

Not only ordinary netizens who watched the Oscars broadcast, as a movie event attracting worldwide attention, many entertainment reporters in Huaxia were also watching the broadcast of the Oscars. Since ordinary netizens can have such doubts, more sensitive entertainment reporters will naturally think of Xiao Yao in the first place. It's just that no one expected that Xiao Yao, who had been silent for half a year after going to the United States, would reappear in everyone's sight in this way. Oscar? Are you kidding me? Of course, the premise is that that person is indeed Xiao Yao who has disappeared from the media for half a year.

Whether this person is Xiao Yao still needs to be verified, but for the reports that attract everyone's attention, there is no need to wait for verification before posting. Adding a question mark at the end and a word like "suspect" in front can be solved very well.

As a result, related reports soon appeared on the Internet media:

"A Chinese face appeared on the Oscar stage, suspected to be Xiao Yao! "

"Dormitory for half a year, the United States playing a band? The Chinese guitarist of Oscar's live performance band looks exactly like Xiao Yao and stunned netizens"

There is a sixteen-hour difference between Western time in the United States and Yanjing in China. The Oscars ceremony starts at 7:00 p.m. local time in Los Angeles. The red carpet show officially begins at 8:00 p.m. When the "immortals" band performed on stage, it was already night It was past nine o'clock and almost ten o'clock, and in China, it was already one past two o'clock at noon the next day. At this time, many people were already at work or preparing to go to work and school, whether they were watching the live broadcast in front of the TV Still, the number of people following relevant news on the Internet is not particularly large, so this speculation about whether the band member is Xiao Yao did not arouse much response.

But at night, this speculative news spread rapidly on the Internet, and formed a huge wave of discussions. Because no Chinese film was shortlisted for the Best Foreign Language Film award at the Oscars this time, Chinese people did not pay as much attention to this Oscar than in previous years, but because of this news, Oscar has instead become a hot topic of discussion.

In the history of Oscar, there is no shortage of Chinese figures. Chinese-American directors, Chinese-American photographers, and even Chinese soundtrack composers, art directors, and photographers have all won or been nominated for Oscars. But standing on the Oscar stage at the age of less than twenty years old, even few Americans can do it, let alone Chinese people.

Xiao Yao's post bar was the first to become lively, and countless posts wiped out the deserted post bar for half a year in an instant.

"Our family, Xiao Yao, really knows how to play. He accidentally played on the Oscars. It seems that the only Chinese who can be a guest performer at the Oscars is Mu Lan, who once sang "Tranquility" at the Oscars? Coincidentally, that song It's also the theme song of an animated film, but Mu Lan was already in his thirties when he appeared on the Oscar stage, and Xiao Yao didn't even reach his twenties." A senior "pill" posted on the post bar.

"Correct upstairs, Mulan is of Chinese descent, not a Chinese. Although he developed in China, he is an American citizen, so Xiao Yao should be the first Chinese to be an Oscar guest. But the premise is that the person is really It’s Xiao Yao, and now the media is just guessing, and no one dares to be 100% sure. I just checked Xiao Yao’s Weibo, and he didn’t say anything on his Weibo, and it hasn’t been updated for half a year.” A sensible friend replied below.

"Summon the master to fly tomorrow, and ask for first-hand information to confirm." Afterwards, someone turned their attention to Chen Mingfei, who had confirmed that Xiao Yao was a classmate and had sent many definite news about Xiao Yao.

"Xiao Yao is in the United States, and the owner is in China. This time, the owner said that he can't help. Actually, I also really want to know if this guy is Xiao Yao, but we are all in contact with emails and online chat tools. I don't know if this guy is busy recently. What, I haven't replied to me for more than two months." Chen Mingfei stood up and replied helplessly in the post bar.

Netizens in the post bar only had Chen Mingfei as their news channel. If Chen Mingfei didn't know about it, the friends on the post bar would have nothing to do. But the entertainment reporters still have many other choices, and the first to bear the brunt are naturally Xiao Yao's parents. The classmates don't know, it's impossible that even the parents don't know, right?

Therefore, when Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying came to the studio with smiles on their faces the day after the Oscars ceremony, they found that the entrance of the studio was surrounded by reporters who had already been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing the two people appear, the reporters immediately surrounded them, and passed countless microphones in front of them, but they asked the same question: "Is Xiao Yao the person who performed at the Oscars ceremony yesterday?" ( To be continued.)
