Entertaining Children

Sun Tingting's mentor is Oliver Hill, a professor at the Chambers Conservatory of Music, and a world-renowned musician and violinist. He is not only Sun Tingting's mentor, but also the mentor of Laura Sim, the victim in the murder case three years ago. Since two of his students were involved, he was very concerned about the case. After the case was closed, he learned more about the details of the case, and even learned about Xiao Yao's role in solving the case.

Professor Hill didn't care too much about Xiao Yao's reasoning, searching and arresting skills in it, but I heard that Xiao Yao deduced that Laura Simm's performance was based on the video of Laura Simm's performance. Mu may have a history of drug abuse, but Professor Hill is very interested, and also pays attention to Sun Tingting's boyfriend.

Professor Hill had heard from Sun Tingting that her boyfriend also played music, but mainly pop music. The violin version of the song "faded" submitted by Sun Tingting yesterday was adapted by Sun Tingting herself. Professor Hill didn't know that Xiao Yao had come to New York. Today, when Sun Tingting said that Xiao Yao helped her write this new song, and that Xiao Yao also recorded the demo for her yesterday, he wanted to meet Xiao Yao.

Hearing that Xiao Yao was in the school, Professor Hill immediately contacted several musicians, and then asked Sun Tingting to call Xiao Yao over.

Professor Hill kept Xiao Yao here because he wanted to take the opportunity to observe Xiao Yao up close. It's not that Professor Hill suspects that some of the musicians who are practicing together are still taking drugs, but wants to see if Xiao Yao can see anything else that he hasn't seen.

When the first round of joint practice was over and Professor Hill stopped all the musicians, he also turned around and asked Xiao Yao how he felt with a smile. Xiao Yao is not very good at classical music, but his mind is definitely very good. For the first joint practice, everyone will inevitably make some mistakes. When the musicians were playing, Xiao Yao listened quietly, kept silent, and did not interrupt easily, but when Professor Hill asked, Xiao Yao pointed out the mistakes and omissions of the musicians without any hesitation. out.

Professor Hill can also hear these mistakes and omissions. However, a young man in his early twenties can accurately hear the mistakes and omissions of each musician when several instruments are played at the same time. Even if he wrote this piece of music, that is still rare. Originally, I wanted to see Xiao Yao's poisonous eyes, but I didn't expect Xiao Yao's ears to be very poisonous. It was the first time for Professor Hill to feel such a solid musical accomplishment from such a young person, and he even came up with the idea of ​​accepting Xiao Yao as a student.

In addition to playing the violin, Professor Hill is also a master in composition and conducting. Even though Sun Tingting said that Xiao Yao's violin is not a very high-level instrument among the instruments he knows, Professor Hill thinks it seems a good choice to accept him as a student to teach composition and conducting.

However, Xiao Yao only purely appreciates classical music, and has no intention of devoting himself to it. And now that Sun Tingting is about to graduate from the Chambers Conservatory of Music and can end the current situation of the two living apart, he doesn't want to stay here for a few more years.

Continue to separate the two places. Faced with Professor Hill's kindness, Xiao Yao politely declined without hesitation.

I heard that Xiao Yao is still an actor, and is currently studying in a film and television academy in China, learning to act. Professor Hill didn't force him, but asked Xiao Yao to practice with Sun Tingting for the next two days. For this request to spend more time with Sun Tingting, Xiao Yao naturally agreed without hesitation.

There are very professional musicians in the Chambers Conservatory of Music, and it doesn't take too long to practice a piece of music.

Practice with other musicians during the day, practice alone in the afternoon, and live with Xiao Yao at night. This kind of life lasted only three days, and Sun Tingting flew to Los Angeles with Xiao Yao and his private team.

Among Xiao Yao's acquaintances in the United States, more people live in Los Angeles than in New York. New York is just Sun Tingting, Paul, and TJ. In Los Angeles, there are Keith Craig's family, Smith's family, two other members of the "Immortals" band, and Zhou Jingyi and about a dozen people who have a good relationship. Nathan and others from the parkour team, other members of the "Daydream" band, and Liv Paremo, a female singer under the "Daydream" studio, and others, there are even more acquaintances.

When Xiao Yao, Sun Tingting and a group of four arrived in Los Angeles, the Keith Craigs and the "Immortals" band all came to the airport to pick them up.

When old friends meet, it is naturally lively again.

This time Xiao Yao came to Los Angeles to participate in the celebrity game, and the organizer has already arranged a hotel for Xiao Yao and his team. After exchanging greetings at the airport, everyone sent Xiao Yao and the others to the hotel.

"Yang, why don't you come to Los Angeles earlier? You have a training session tomorrow and a game the day after tomorrow. We don't have much time to get together." On the way to the hotel, Dean Smith, who was in the same car with Xiao Yao, couldn't help it. Don't blame Xiao Yaodao.

"Because Tiana had rehearsals a few days ago." Xiao Yao replied with a smile.

"She rehearses, and you don't rehearse, can't you come first?" Dean said again.

"Idiot!" Sammy, who was sitting next to Dean, gave Dean the back of the head, "Yan is here to accompany his girlfriend, not to perform with us!"

"You?" Dean covered his head and looked at Sammy in aggrieved and surprised way.

"Why didn't you see Jin? Isn't she in Los Angeles?" Sun Tingting asked suddenly.

"Well, she's filming, and she won't be in Los Angeles today and tomorrow." Dean nodded and said, "But Jin will be there for the backstage game. We've all booked tickets, in the second and third rows, basically together."

"The second row and the third row are so close?" Xiao Yao laughed.

"Of course, we paid a lot of money to get this, just to watch you play up close!" Dean laughed.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao said to Dean with a touch of emotion in his heart.

The organizers also provided some family tickets to the participating stars of the Masters. Xiao Yao got four cards, which he distributed to Sun Tingting and Zhao Rui, Lin Qisan, and Zhou Zhihao, who had said they would come to the United States to watch the match. It's not on the wheel, let alone these friends in the United States.

Although tickets for the Masters are not as difficult to buy as tickets for the All-Star Game, it is not easy to get them. Moreover, Xiao Yao told them that he was going to participate in this year's All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game relatively late. At that time, the tickets were probably sold out, especially the high-priced tickets in the front row, which were almost certainly sold out very early. It definitely took a lot of effort and money for them to get tickets for the second and third rows.

The group arrived at the hotel, and after Xiao Yao and the others settled their luggage, Keith Craig and his wife, as landlords, invited Xiao Yao and the others to enjoy a sumptuous meal.

After dinner, Keith Craig and his wife left time for the young people and bid farewell to everyone temporarily. Fang Yiran took Pei Minyi to contact the organizer of the Masters Tournament to confirm some necessary activity itineraries. Dean and the others knew that Xiao Yao didn't like the party atmosphere very much, and they were really closely connected through a band, and it had been a long time since everyone got together to sing and play musical instruments. Yao and Sun Tingting went to their rehearsal room together.

This time when he came to the United States, Xiao Yao had no plans to perform with the "Immortals" band, nor did he help them write new songs, so everyone just played around in the rehearsal room, looking for the feeling of practicing and performing together in the past.

The "Immortals" band is an artist under the "Daydream" studio, and their rehearsal room is also in the "Daydream" studio. There is no shortage of musical instruments in a music studio. Even if Immortals didn't have a violin in their rehearsal room, there was an instrument room in the studio. Since it was just playing casually, Sun Tingting couldn't help but went to the musical instrument room to find a violin and joined in.

Although they were practicing a few old songs written by Xiao Yao for the band, and there was no violin soundtrack in them, Sun Tingting is now an excellent violinist with the ability to arrange music, and Xiao Yao's songs, she very familiar. After this violin was added, not only did it not appear abrupt and uncoordinated, but it had a more shocking effect.

Speaking of which, Xiao Yao hasn't broadcast live for a long time. Playing with the "Immortals" band and Sun Tingting this time is a very good live broadcast content. Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone, set up a position, and did a webcast on "Yuyu" for a while.

Although Xiao Yao has not broadcast live on Youyu for a long time, the number of water friends who follow his live broadcast room has not decreased much. As soon as Xiao Yao's live broadcast room started, many water friends who received the notification of the start of the broadcast immediately clicked into his live broadcast room. Many network anchors, including the three female anchors of Youyu, also followed Xiao Yao's live broadcast room. As soon as Xiao Yao started broadcasting, many anchors also received the news, and then came to check the ward. As a result, there was a lot of commotion, and the management staff in the background quickly noticed it, and posted Xiao Yao's live broadcast room on the recommendation page.

Although Xiao Yao and others hardly interacted with Shuiyou and other anchors during the live broadcast, only Xiao Yao and other members of the "Immortals" band, especially the live broadcast content that included his girlfriend Sun Tingting singing and playing musical instruments together It is fresh and attractive enough, so water friends are basically reluctant to leave after seeing it. The number of people in the live broadcast room reached more than one million in about ten minutes, and it has continued to increase at a high speed.

Before Xiao Yao came to Los Angeles, the NBA's official website had announced that the last star teammate to participate in this year's All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game was Xiao Yao. Many water friends who knew the news were not surprised that Xiao Yao was in the United States at this time.

However, Xiao Yao practiced songs with the "Immortals" band live in the rehearsal room two days before the game, and many fans speculated whether Xiao Yao would also be with the "Immortals" band on the All-Star Weekend in addition to participating in the game Acted as a guest performer before and after a game. When Xiao Yao was playing, he didn't watch the barrage, and he didn't answer it. The barrage in the live broadcast room was always full of questions like this.

After everyone had fun, when Xiao Yao was about to put away his phone and turn off the live broadcast, he saw these questions in the barrage. However, Xiao Yao didn't answer directly, but just told the camera to let everyone watch it by themselves. After Xiao Yao made some free publicity for the All-Stars of the NBA, he closed the live broadcast software and downloaded it.

It was late at this time, and Xiao Yao didn't ask Dean and others to send him off, but he returned to the hotel with Sun Tingting.

The next day, Xiao Yao didn't play with Dean and others anymore, because according to the organizer's arrangement, he had to participate in a training session for the Masters today.

He was playing on the court, and his girlfriend was watching from the side of the court, cheering for him. Xiao Yao had envied other people countless times when he was studying in his previous life, but he had never experienced such an experience in this life, so this For the first training session, Xiao Yao did not bring an assistant, nor did he go alone, but took Sun Tingting with him.

When Xiao Yao arrived at the training venue, there were already many people on the court. Seeing Xiao Yao appear, Joey Bielsa immediately greeted him enthusiastically, and introduced Xiao Yao to other people on the field.

Like the celebrity charity basketball game that Xiao Yao participated in in China, this celebrity game is also an exhibition game. Each team is composed of a mixed team of professional players and non-professional players, and also a mixed team of male and female players. None of the coaches are professional basketball coaches. But in terms of personnel selection, there are still some differences between the Masters Tournament and China's Star Charity Tournament.

First of all, in terms of coaches, one of the head coaches of the two teams in the Masters is a basketball commentator for a sports TV station, and the other is a basketball reporter for a sports magazine. They are not professional coaches, but their jobs are related to basketball. China's Star Charity Tournament is the same, but the difference is that the two head coaches of the Masters Tournament are both women, and they are young beauties. Maybe the two beautiful head coaches with extremely good looks will make people feel that they are a bit inferior in terms of tactical arrangements, so in addition to the head coach, the organizer also arranged a retired former All-Star player for the two teams. Team player and assistant coach.

In terms of players, there are no active professional male players in this Masters. Each team has only one active NBA women's basketball player and two retired former US NBA men's basketball players.

From this point of view, the gap in the personal abilities of the players in the Masters seems to be smaller, but it is not.

Although the players of the two teams are all stars, there is a big difference in occupation and age. In terms of occupation, Huaxia's Star Charity Tournament includes not only professional players but also performing arts stars, and this time, there are professional basketball players, entertaining stars, sports stars from other sports, Internet celebrity anchors, and even team owners. In terms of age span, the oldest player is a team owner who is almost sixty years old, while the youngest player is only twelve or thirteen years old, still a child. It is really grandparents and grandchildren competing in the same field.

Although the gap between the players is relatively large, in general, the paper strength of the players of the two teams is basically balanced. Professional female players, older players, and children who seem to have obvious differences are all on one side of the two teams.

Judging from the selection of coaches and players, this celebrity match is far more entertaining than China's star charity match, but since it is a match, there must be training sessions, at least let the teammates of the same team get to know each other in advance and get acquainted.

There is only one pre-match training session arranged by the organizer, and it seems that they just want these star teammates to get to know each other and get familiar with each other. As for the tactics, it mostly depends on the impromptu performance of the four non-professional coaches or the free play of these stars.

In a game where professional players and non-professional players are mixed together, professional players are not likely to go all out, and generally give the opportunity to perform to non-professional players. Since it depends on the free play of the stars, Joey Bielsa naturally thought of Xiao Yao who he met at the Huaxia Star Charity Basketball Game that year. In his eyes, Xiao Yao's basketball level is almost close to that of China's professional players, probably better than most American star players. What's even more rare is that Xiao Yao is also very comprehensive, able to attack and defend. , can assist and score, fully equipped with the ability to decide the outcome of a game.

Therefore, he not only actively recommended Xiao Yao, a Chinese star, to the organizer, but also strongly demanded that Xiao Yao be included in his team. It is the posture of introducing a core player.
