Entertaining Children

"I'm going, what the hell is this?"

"Angel Eva can actually speak Chinese?"

"It's just a sentence of Chinese! It shouldn't be difficult to learn, right?"

"What does that fist-clasping gesture mean? Has she ever learned Huaxia's martial arts?"

As soon as the blond Caucasian model greeted her in this strange way, countless Chinese viewers who were watching the live broadcast in front of the computer were dumbfounded, and the comment area and barrage area under the live broadcast interface were all boiling.

Also dumbfounded was Lu Ke, the host next to the model at the scene. Lu Ke asked the model next to him with a look of surprise: "You can speak Chinese? And this posture, did Xiao Yao teach you? Or did you learn it from other Chinese people after you came to China this time?"

Even though the white model spoke Chinese, Lu Ke didn't think she could communicate in Chinese, so Lu Ke still used English for this question.

"I don't have such a stupid student!" Lu Ke's voice fell, and a Chinese voice sounded next to him.

Lu Ke looked back and found that Xiao Yao appeared out of nowhere. The Chinese sentence just now was obviously spoken by Xiao Yao.

"I'll go, Xiao Yao!"

"Why is he backstage?"

"He is a guest performer, why can't he be in the background!"

"Don't the performers enter the waiting area after the big show starts and before they perform on stage? Isn't it too early for the big show to start?"

The cameraman moved the camera to the direction of the sound, and the netizens who watched the live broadcast recognized the young man in a black suit as Xiao Yao at a glance, and immediately started discussing it in the comments and barrage .

"What did you say?" the model looked at Xiao Yao and asked. Looking at her expression, she was not surprised that Xiao Yao appeared here at this time, but she didn't understand the Chinese sentence Xiao Yao said.

"I said you forgot how Master Hong taught you!" Xiao Yao smiled and said in English, "When saluting like this, you should first tell the other party who you are!"

"Oh, I forgot!" The model showed a dazed expression, clasped her fists again and said in Chinese to the camera, "My Zoe Hunter, please give me your advice!"

"Next?"

"She actually understands this word!"

"666~"

The special webcast room of Haiyan Video was boiling again.

"Please give me more advice!" Lu Ke imitated Zoe's example and saluted her with fists, replying in Chinese.

"I didn't expect that you could not only greet in Chinese, but also understand the traditional way of greeting in Chinese martial arts. I think the audience in Huaxia must like you very much!" Lu Ke gave Zoe a thumbs up again, and said to Zoe in English.

"Thank you!" Zooey smiled smugly.

"But," Lu Ke continued, "I'm curious, who is Master Hong that Yang mentioned? Why did he teach you this?"

"A few days ago, Yang took us to feel the charm of Chinese Kung Fu, and we also learned some martial arts moves." Zoe made palms together, posing a Chinese martial arts move one after the other, and then returned to clasping fists Li said, "Master Hong is the teacher who taught us Huaxia Kungfu. He said that this is the etiquette in Huaxia martial arts before fighting with others."

"Learn Huaxia Kung Fu? You took them to play again?" Lu Ke looked at Xiao Yao who was beside him.

"What fun, that's work!" Xiao Yao corrected with a smile, "When the Eva show was broadcast, in addition to the catwalk, there were also scenes of behind-the-scenes work and daily highlights of the models. Their learning martial arts is one of the daily highlights of this year , A total of four models went to study, and Zoe was one of them, all of which were captured by cameras."

This time Lu Ke and Xiao Yao communicated in English, and Zooey heard them talking about this, and continued: "Yang copied a copy of our martial arts material, and made the editing and soundtrack by himself to make a video Gave it to us. NBC’s Eva show is an edited broadcast, regardless of whether there will be any content about me learning martial arts, after the Eva show airs, I will upload those videos to my own social media account Come on, please pay more attention!"

"Really? We are looking forward to it!" Lu Ke laughed.

Lu Ke briefly translated Zoe's words, then called on netizens to follow Zoe's social media account, and then turned to Xiao Yao.

"Why are you here?" Lu Ke asked curiously, "Don't the performers arrive before the show starts?"

Lu Ke originally thought that he would not be able to see Xiao Yao until the performance started and the backstage was cleared to let him leave.

The backstage of the show is not like the backstage of other TV shows or performances. The models are gathered together to prepare for makeup and dressing. There are more people and relatively chaotic. In order to prevent the performers and their teams from affecting the preparations of the models, they all have separate lounges and dressing rooms. Under normal circumstances, the performers will only briefly appear in the backstage waiting area connected to the exit channel before and after they take the stage.

"I'm different from others!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I'm familiar with the backstage of the fashion show, and it won't affect the work of the models and other staff here. After I get dressed and change my clothes, I don't have much to do Let’s do it, and come here for a stroll.”

"In fact, not only will he not affect us, but he can also help us." Zoe said, "As long as he doesn't have a camera in his hand, we all welcome him to appear here."

"Camera?" Lu Ke was a little strange again.

"That happened a long, long time ago," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "It happened more than ten years ago, I will tell you again when I have a chance."

Although Xiao Yao has been to the backstage of many fashion shows and has seen the Eva show several times, this is the second time he has been in the backstage of the Eva show. The last time Xiao Yao entered the backstage of the Eva show was when Xiao Yao was ten years old. He was originally invited to take photos of the models in the backstage of the Eva show. The embarrassing photos were cancelled. Later, although Xiao Yao participated in the Eva Show several times, he was either an audience member or an on-site photographer, and he never entered the backstage of the Eva Show.

As a guest performer this time, Xiao Yao has the opportunity to appear in the backstage. Although he has to perform twice on stage, because the performance is head-to-tail, with a long interval in between, Xiao Yao does not need to change his hairstyle, but only needs to change his clothes. There is still a lot of free time, so he proposed to Elbert to take a camera into the backstage to take embarrassing photos of the models, and wanted to complete the unfinished business more than ten years ago.

However, unlike the one more than ten years ago, Xiao Yao's suggestion was strongly opposed by most of the models. On the one hand, Xiao Yao is now an adult, and he is no longer the child he was back then. On the other hand, through the contact during the swimsuit special, the models knew that Xiao Yao really didn't mind making the models look ugly, and God knows what photos he would take to "ruin their image".

Since it was not a pre-arranged event, Eva did not make any preparations for it. Since the models objected, neither Elbert nor Xiao Yao insisted, so they let it go.

Lu Ke chatted with Zooey for a few more words, then thanked her and said goodbye to her, and was going to chat with other models.

"Go!" When saying goodbye to Zoe, Lu Ke took Xiao Yao's arm and said.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yao asked.

"I want to interview some more models!" Lu Ke said.

"Then you go to interview, why are you dragging me?" Xiao Yao asked strangely.

"You are familiar with them, so help me introduce them!" Lu Ke said.

"You are such a professional host, and Eva has greeted all the models. No one will refuse your interview, and I don't need you to introduce you!" Xiao Yao refused, "When I didn't come just now, you It's not the same as interviewing Zoe!"

"But with you together, I think the effect of chatting with them is much better!" Lu Ke said.

"Sister Ke, Haiyan Video didn't invite me to be the host. The interview is your job, not mine!" Xiao Yao broke free from Lu Ke's hand and said, "I have other things to do!"

"Tch, if they ask you to be the host, will you agree?" Lu Ke curled his lips and said, "Aren't you just hanging out here? What's the matter? Is it okay to do a little favor for my sister? It's my fault. Where are your fans!"

"Fans?" Xiao Yao wryly smiled, "Are there any fans who force idols to help with work?"

"Aren't all your fans like this?" Lu Ke said.

"Who said that?" Xiao Yao said speechlessly.

"Boss, Miss Liang asked you to come over!" At this time, Pei Minyi came over and said.

"Oh!" Xiao Yao turned to Lu Ke and said, "Sister Ke, what do you think?"

"Miss Liang? Liang Xueying?" Lu Ke asked, "She wants you to go to her lounge?"

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded and said, "I helped her design her costumes for the show, maybe there are some questions about this!"

"The costume you designed for her?" Lu Ke's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Can I go together?"

According to the agreement between Eva and Haiyan Video, Eva authorized Haiyan Video to conduct live webcasting in the makeup area and waiting area of ​​the models. The rest room of the performers is not within the scope of the live broadcast area authorized by Eva, but it is not stipulated that they must not go there like the dressing area. If Xiao Yao took it with him, I believe Eva would not say anything.

"Well, the interview area authorized by Eva to Haiyan's video doesn't seem to include the rest room of the performers?" Xiao Yao said a little embarrassed.

"You know that too?" Lu Ke was a little surprised, but still insisted, "But they didn't say that they absolutely can't go! If you take me to the lounge of our Chinese performer Liang Xueying, whether it's Eva or Liang Xueying Over there, there shouldn’t be any big opinions, right? I really want to see what kind of performance costume you designed for Liang Xueying in advance, and is it the one with lights like the one in "Singer"?"

"No!" Xiao Yao shook his head, "Her costume is quite special! If you really want to see it, I can take you to see it, but the cameraman can't go in, and after you come out, you can't tell the netizens either! "

"Ah?" Lu Ke hesitated.

Her job is to help Haiyan Video to do webcasting, but Haiyan Video has not stipulated her specific interviewees, and she is free to play. It is also possible to take the cameraman to interview the guest performer Liang Xueying, but leaving the cameraman is equivalent to interrupting the webcast, which conflicts with her work and violates her professional ethics.

"Well," Xiao Yao seemed to see Lu Ke's thoughts, and said with a smile, "I can give you some tips. The models I have contacted the most these days are the four who took daily tidbits. Except for Zoe who likes kung fu , Sally is a foodie and likes Huaxia food. When I took her to the Town God’s Temple for snacks, she could barely walk! Carly is very interested in Huaxia’s ethnic minority costumes, especially the big silver horns of the Miao nationality. You can't even close your mouth! Rosa has a special liking for Huaxia's barbecue. These are all related to Huaxia, so if you talk to them about these topics, the effect will definitely be good, and I promise you won't be left alone!"

"In addition," Xiao Yao continued, "Abby likes to take pictures, and Trish likes yoga. If you talk to them about this, they will definitely be happy! These are all six angels. You can chat with other models casually, and you can easily support them." It's time for the big show. The content of these interviews is rich enough, and it will definitely allow you to complete the interview task of this webcast excellently!"

"This~ okay!" Lu Ke patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder and said, "I knew that with you here, my webcast this time must be a lot to watch!"

"Well, I wish you a smooth interview. I'll go and see Miss Xueying!" Xiao Yao waved to Lu Ke, and walked quickly to Liang Xueying's lounge.

When Xiao Yao came out of Liang Xueying's lounge and returned to the backstage waiting area, Lu Ke and the cameraman had already left the backstage. Because at this time, the big show is about to start. Xiao Yao peeked out from the exit of the stage. Even though the lights above the auditorium and the stage were very dim, he could feel that the auditorium was already full.

This year's Eva show stage is also different from previous years. It is not a T-shaped stage that is wider than the regular T stage. There are almost no short sides. Flat, but an arrow-like triangle. Most of the area in the middle of the stage is slightly higher than the surrounding area, which is used as a performance stage for performers, and the slightly lower area around it is the catwalk for models.

This design also means that on the catwalk route of the models, this year's models do not walk back and forth directly from the middle of the stage, but walk a U-shaped walking route. They will come out from one side of the stage, walk a straight line and a diagonal line to pose in front of the stage, and then walk a diagonal line and a straight line to return from the other side of the stage. This kind of catwalk route can also allow two models to appear from both sides at the same time, pose together at the front, and then pass by.

In fact, in one of the units of this year's Eva show, two models did appear in a group at the same time and crossed in front of the stage. Such a fashion show is also used for the first time in the Eva show.

At eight o'clock in the evening, under the command of the on-site director, Xiao Yao walked onto the stage quickly and sat down beside a black piano.

There is a three-sided fence on the stage in the guest performance area in the center of the stage, which blocks the sight of the audience in three directions. In addition, the scene is dimly lit, and the scene of Xiao Yao's early appearance is invisible to the audience.

"Guests are seated! The performance begins!" After seeing Xiao Yao sitting down, the live director directed through the headset.

"Welcome to the 2019 Eva Fashion Show!"

An English narration sounded from the sound at the scene, and a three-sided fence surrounding the central guest performance stage on the stage slowly rose up.

With the sound of the narration and the raising of the fence on the stage, the audience cheered excitedly, mixed with a lot of whistles.

Once the fence is fully raised, the lights above the stage come on. Xiao Yao on the stage appeared in front of the audience together with a black grand piano. The cheers of the audience rang out again.

Xiao Yao pressed his fingers on the piano keys, and at the same time as the sound of the piano sounded, the brightness of the lights suddenly increased a lot. In the passage behind, a model with wings appeared in the sight of the audience.

This fashion show, held for the first time in China, has officially begun!
