Entertaining Children

According to Chen Xuan's request, Betty drove Xiao Yao back to the hotel where he stayed after dinner. When they parted, Betty also took the initiative to ask for Xiao Yao's contact information.

Others treated guests to a French meal, and played two pieces of music in exchange for a membership card. Xiao Yao had a pretty good night. After returning to the hotel, he took a very comfortable bath and then felt comfortable. Lying on that luxurious big bed, I fell asleep.

At eleven o'clock the next morning, Chen Xuan arrived late. After entering the door, Xiao Yao could tell from his radiant face that he obviously had a good time last night.

"Isn't it too late for you old man to come today?" Xiao Yao frowned. Although his language is very good, but with his ten-year-old body, he really dare not go out of the hotel for a casual stroll in New York. Apart from going to the hotel's gym for an hour of exercise after getting up in the morning, he has been bored in the hotel room all morning.

"The performance is at night, and there is no rehearsal today. There is nothing to do during the day, so it doesn't matter if you come later." Chen Xuan smiled, not paying attention to Xiao Yao's dissatisfaction.

"Okay, what are you going to do for me this afternoon?" Xiao Yao asked Chen Xuan.

"As you wish." Chen Xuan spread his hands, "I took you to the landmarks I think you must go to yesterday. Come today according to your wishes. Wherever you want to go, I will take you there, ok ?”

"Okay, after lunch, take me to Broadway in the afternoon. If possible, let's go to an opera or a musical." Xiao Yao said, since he came to New York, Broadway is definitely something he really wants. One of the places to go.

"What? You're only ten years old, why are you interested in dull things like musicals and operas?" Chen Xuan's temperament is obviously not the kind that can sit quietly in the theater for hours.

"Don't you know that I acted in a drama in China the year before last?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes.

"My God, you are such a monster. I actually accepted a monster as a student." Chen Xuan exaggeratedly exclaimed. He has been to Xiao Yao's house and seen Xiao Yao playing musical instruments, but he didn't know that he could also perform in theater. Although Xiao Yao has been his student for two years, his comprehensive understanding of Xiao Yao is not as comprehensive as that of Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi who just met yesterday afternoon. Of course, it was also because Chen Xuan didn't go out of his way to understand it.

"You promised to follow my wishes today, are you going to go back on your word?" Xiao Yao asked while staring at Chen Xuan.

"Of course...no!" Chen Xuan really wanted to repent, but seeing Xiao Yao's eyes, he was finally defeated. As a teacher, he still needs basic credibility and face in front of the students.

After lunch, Chen Xuan led Xiao Yao to Broadway.

Broadway is not a theater, but the name of a north-south street in New York that runs through the island of Manhattan. Because there are a large number of theaters on both sides of this street, it is an important place for the development of American plays and musicals. Therefore, "Broadway" has also become synonymous with musicals in the United States.

There are dozens of theaters on both sides of Broadway Street. The theaters on Broadway Street 44th Street to 53rd Street are called Inner Broadway. It is called off-Broadway, and it performs some experimental, unknown, and low-cost plays.

Under normal circumstances, a musical is about two and a half hours including the intermission. Xiao Yao had a whole afternoon, so he first took Chen Xuan to watch a classic musical in this world on Inner Broadway. After coming out, Xiao Yao, who was still unsatisfied, chose a shorter time in Off-Broadway. Sexual vanguard skits. After watching the two dramas, it was almost time for dinner.

Chen Xuan, who watched the musical with Xiao Yao all afternoon, was heartbroken. Finally, when the torment was over, Chen Xuan immediately took Xiao Yao to have a hasty dinner, and then took him to the scene of the Eva show in advance,

Throwing him into the unfinished backstage, as if he didn't want to stay with him for a second longer.

There is still about an hour before the performance time, the scene is not ready yet, and some preparations are still being done in the backstage. Because the entire evening performance was recorded and broadcast by the American CBS TV station, there are also several camera positions in the backstage that need to be arranged. However, the position of the camera is fixed, and it can only capture a few fixed areas in the rest area, waiting area, and passageway entrance, which is far less than Xiao Yao's freedom of walking around with the camera.

As soon as Xiao Yao, with a camera hanging around his neck and a camera bag on his shoulder, appeared backstage, he immediately attracted the attention of most people in the backstage. Since it was still early, none of the three groups of performers showed up, and only part of the models showed up. The biggest name, Betty Bellett, hasn't come yet, but the two Chinese models, Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi, who participated for the first time, have both arrived.

Since the preparations were still going on at the scene, Xiao Yao didn't run around to affect other people's work, so he found a quiet corner to sit down and rest, but his movements of fiddling with the camera made all the models feel a little nervous .

Xiao Yao didn't take the initiative to find the two Huaxia models he knew, but Yin Xi took the initiative to come over and whispered in Xiao Yao's ear with a smile: "Little friend, please be merciful, how do you say that word? By the way, please." Light abuse."

Xiao Yao almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and looked at Yin Xi with an expression of being defeated by you. "Sister, the camera is here," Xiao Yao pointed to the camera on one side, "Can you stop being so unscrupulous."

"What are you afraid of? They don't understand the Chinese we speak." Yin Xi said indifferently.

"Sister, do you know that there is another profession called translation in this world, is it difficult to find a Chinese translator?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes.

"That's not to be afraid, we are all Chinese, and you should be partial to me." Yin Xi said confidently.

"Sister, you have a big heart and a bright future. I am optimistic about you." Xiao Yao gave a thumbs up.

Yin Xi snorted, wrinkled his nose, got up and said, "That's it, I'm going to change clothes, and warn you, don't follow me for sneak shots." The clothes are convenient and the speed is improved. The models are all wearing bathrobes on standby. Not long after Yin Xi arrived, she was still wearing casual clothes and hadn't changed into a bathrobe yet.

"Are you inviting me in a different direction? You know that I have permission to enter the dressing area." Xiao Yao raised the camera.

"How dare you!" Yin Xi turned around and stared at Xiao Yao, stretched out the middle finger of his right hand and compared Xiao Yao's eyes, meaning that I would poke your dog's eyes blind, and after threatening, Yin Xi turned around and walked towards Xiao Yao. Go to the dressing area.

Xiao Yao smiled, but didn't get up to follow. It's not that he didn't dare, but he felt that it was meaningless to simply take pictures of changing clothes, and now that the performance hadn't started, most of the people who didn't have a sense of urgency were focusing on him, so it was difficult to take pictures What an interesting photo.

When the show really started, the backstage got busy, and everyone's attention was on the show and Xiao Yao was ignored, it was his time to perform.

Betty Bellett arrived half an hour before the show started, and this time was not considered a bluff at all. She is a signed model of the Eva show, and Eva is also the largest and most important part of her business contract, so naturally she will not cause trouble for the owner.

A few minutes later, the three groups of performers also arrived one after another. All the equipment on the site had been installed and arranged, and they entered the final stage of testing and debugging.

This year is the tenth year of the Eva show. Eva has paid great attention to it, and the preparations are very thorough and thoughtful, but even so, it cannot prevent accidents like natural disasters and man-made disasters from happening.

Ten minutes before the official start of the performance, the accident really happened. It wasn't the models or the on-site staff that had the accident, but the invited performers. Among the performers, the keyboard player of the pop rock band, after staying in the bathroom for about ten minutes, was helped out holding his right wrist, and was sent directly to the hospital.

It is said that he slipped and fell in the bathroom, and by an extreme coincidence, when he slipped and fell, his right hand propped up on the ground, but the position and force of that stroke were not right, and his wrist was injured. On the surface, it is estimated that it is a wrist contusion. As a keyboard player, his hands are the ones who eat. Not to mention that he can't play the piano because of a wrist contusion, even if he can barely play, no one asked him to risk his career for a show.

Dunn Gianni was so angry that he got the news, but for this kind of thing, even if he wanted to find someone to scold and vent his anger, he couldn't find a suitable person. Blame the cleaners for cleaning the floors too clean?

Complaining can't solve the problem. Faced with this unexpected situation, Dunn Gianni can only find the band members to discuss a solution at the first time.

Before the performers came on stage, they were also waiting in the backstage, so Dunn went directly to the backstage of the show.

"Eric, is it possible to perform without a keyboard?" Dunn asked Eric Byrne, the leader of the band called Binoxey, who is also the lead singer and the assistant guitarist.

"It's impossible," Eric Byrne shook his head. "The keyboard sound is very important in the soundtrack of this song. There is a keyboard solo, and there is no way to perform it without a keyboard player."

"What about another song?" Dunn made another proposal.

"I don't recommend changing the song." Eric said, "First of all, for most of our songs, the sound of the keyboard is very important. Second, in the past few days, we have been rehearsing this song all the time. I can’t guarantee the on-site effect. Third, I’m not sure about the time length control for other songs now, and I’m worried that there will be problems with the timing of the catwalk show.”

"Then what do you mean?" Dunn had nothing to say and could only ask Eric.

"Find a keyboard player to save the game." Eric said: "The time rhythm is controlled by the drummer. I just need him to memorize the score, play without mistakes, and cooperate with us well. It’s enough to be able to complete the solo under the leadership. Even so, this requirement is a bit high, and it needs a very good keyboard player to do it.”

"In this situation, where can I find you a keyboard player temporarily?" Dunn sighed, "Among today's audience, there are quite a few stars from the music circle, but there are people like pure singers and lead singers. There is no shortage of people who can play the guitar, but there is really no one who is famous for playing the keyboard."

As the most important model in this show, Betty Bellett was also beside Dunn at this time. Hearing this, Betty suddenly thought of someone. He raised his head and glanced around in the background, and saw a guy in a corner holding a camera and taking pictures of this side, so he stretched out his hand to point to that side, and said to Dunn and Eric: "Dunn, Eric, I I think you can let him try it."

"Who?" Dunn and Eric looked up at the direction Betty pointed at the same time, just in time to see Xiao Yao who put down the camera and showed a stunned expression.

"Are you kidding me?" Dunn looked back at Betty.

"Who is that guy?" Eric also asked, but it was Dunn who asked.

"That's the backstage photographer we hired this time, and he's only ten years old." Dunn replied.

Eric heard the words, looked at Betty, and asked the same thing as Dunn: "Ten-year-old photographer, Betty, are you kidding me?"

"No," Betty raised her hand, "I'm serious."

"Listen," Betty continued: "Last night in the restaurant, I saw him play two piano pieces with my own eyes, and he performed very well. I also recorded it with my mobile phone, but the mobile phone is not with me now. If you If you don’t believe me, I can go get my phone and show it to you.”

Seeing that neither of them responded, Betty was not in a hurry to get the phone, but continued: "Qin and Yin told me that his father is a famous musician in Huaxia, and he has studied music with him since he was a child. He played the piano and sang at his father's wedding years ago, and he also experienced a big scene with more than 200 people. Dunn, you must think he is a photography genius, that's why you brought him here. In terms of music , I think he's also a genius."
