Chapter 88

With Xiao Yao's memory, after walking around the backstage, he almost remembered the location of the terrain and all kinds of equipment. After a turn, the staff came to inform the rehearsal, and the models began to make preparations according to their respective appearance order.

Xiao Yao didn't run around any more. He found a quiet place in the backstage and sat down quietly. He began to think about the layout of the whole backstage, which places of the three areas could not affect the normal work of the staff, and could provide him with a good enough perspective for shooting.

Unfortunately, before Xiao Yao started, he was interrupted by Betty Bailette. "Young man, give you back the camera." Betty gave Xiao Yao's micro single camera back to her, "the photos have not been deleted, even if there are still my photos in it. But don't leave after the rehearsal. I'll treat you to dinner. You have to tell me when you photographed me, but I'm very alert. " With that, without waiting for Xiao Yao to answer, he turned around and walked quickly to the entrance to the stage. She is da Kai, the first one to appear.

Xiao Yao takes the camera and smiles. It doesn't matter what you eat.

The whole time of EVA show is no more than one hour, because the rehearsal is the process sequence and the speed of the models and the background music, so the rehearsal time is no more than two hours.

According to the Convention, every year, two or three groups of singers or bands who were popular in European and American music circles at that time will be invited to perform live in two or three of the six units and interact with models.

The same is true this year, and the guests have already been confirmed. They are a pop female singer, a hip-hop female singer and a pop rock band. They are all big stars with outstanding music achievements this year. Originally, Xiao Yao thought that he would see the two female singers and the rock band during the rehearsal, but he didn't expect that when the rehearsal was coming to an end, Xiao Yao didn't see them either.

Later, Xiao Yao couldn't help running out of the backstage, and found Chen Xuan, who was also thinking about the right shooting position, in front of the scene.

It turns out that the repertoire of singers and bands has long been decided, the duration of songs is fixed, and the performance time of guests on stage is fixed. Models just need to be careful not to collide with them on the stage during the catwalk. Both singers and models are experienced performers on the stage or on the catwalk. It is impossible to bump into each other on the stage.

As for the interaction between the singer and the model at that time, EVA show hopes to see both sides improvise on the stage, and does not want to design in advance. The model and the singer are not actors. They hope that the interaction between them on the stage is quite natural, so they let them improvise.

The most famous interaction between a singer and a model on the EVA show was three years ago, when the daydream band, whose husband and boyfriend Keith Craig were the lead singer, was the guest performer of that year.

When both of them appear on the stage at the same time, not only does the little ambiguity between their eyes abuse many single dogs, but Keith even follows Betty from behind when she has come to the end of the T-stage, and kisses Betty when she is unprepared, which makes the atmosphere of the scene explode instantly. The close-up of Betty's expression captured by the camera shows the scene from panic to surprise and then to surprise Rich expression can't be performed live after being designed in rehearsal.

Although Betty Bailette said aggressively that Xiao Yao should not leave after rehearsal and wait to invite him to dinner, Xiao Yao was only ten years old after all, so he had to get the consent of his guardian to take him away.

During the break time of rehearsal, Betty has asked old man Gianni about Xiao Yao. She knows that the young parents didn't accompany him to the United States. During this time in the United States, Xiao Yao's guardian should be his teacher, Thiel Chen. Therefore, after the rehearsal, Betty went directly to Chen Xuan and explained to him her willingness to invite Xiao Yao to dinner in the evening.

"Heather hotel!" Chen Xuan answers Betty.

"What do you mean?" Betty didn't understand Chen Xuan.

"I mean this guy lives at Heather's. The room card is on him. Remember to take him back to the hotel after dinner. " Chen Xuan shrugged and said, "since you have taken him away, I will find a place to play by myself in the evening. Is there a problem? "

"Of course not." Betty said happily, "don't worry, I will send him back to the hotel safely."

"Actually, I'm not worried." Chen Xuan said with a smile, "this is a very smart guy. I guess even if he is thrown to Brooklyn, he can find a way to return to the hotel by himself. I just don't want him to call me to save money. You know, I have a date with a beautiful woman at night

Betty looked at Chen Xuan speechless, then turned to Xiao Yao and said, "young man, are you sure it's the right decision for you to find him to be your master and your temporary guardian in the United States?"

"The French are so unreliable," Xiao Yao said, "but he's the best photographer I've ever met."

"No map guns." Chen Xuan stares at Xiao Yao and says, but he seems quite satisfied with Xiao Yao's answer in the second half of the sentence. He stands up and waves to Betty with pride and says, "bye, this boy is yours. Remember, if I don't see him in the hotel tomorrow, I'll come to you. "Looking at Chen Xuan's back, Xiao Yao asked Betty, "don't we go? Isn't the rehearsal over? "

"In order to avoid that you speak ill of me in Chinese and I can't understand it, I invited Qin and Yin together." Betty said, "they're still changing, so we have to wait."

Huaxia has always had a saying that there are many friends and many ways to go. Besides, whether it's fame, income, status or influence in the industry, Betty Bailette is higher than Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi. Making friends with Betty is beneficial to their development, especially in the European and American fashion circles. So when Betty invited her to dinner, they naturally agreed.

"Are you sure they'll help you?" "The three of us are from the same country," Xiao said

Just then, Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi have changed their clothes and come out to them. Yin Xi even jumped out of his way, deliberately showing his fierce face, and called Xiao Yao's nickname in Chinese, saying, "evil, I'm going to take you today." Just now I took Xiao Yao around backstage. Qin Qingyang, Yin Xi and Xiao Yao are already familiar with each other.

After all, there are only three Chinese people in this foreign land. Xiao Yao is not only young, but also seems to be easy to get along with. Some of them are crazy, and Yin Xi, who is familiar with Xiao Yao's nature, is unscrupulous. She calls herself a fairy because her appearance and the style and temperament of her hard photos are rated as the most "Fairy" model in the domestic circle, so she also gets the nickname of "Fairy".

Betty frowned, looked at Yin Xi and said, "do you call him yaonie? What does that mean? " Although she doesn't know Chinese, Betty can easily tell the first two words are Yin Xi calling Xiao Yao.

"Ah?" How to translate evil in English? Yin Xi was stunned. For a moment, he couldn't find the right words to translate.

"She said I was a bad man, a devil." Xiao Yao said with a smile, using the words evildoer and demon.

"Why do you call him that? Did he do something bad to you? " Betty looks at Yin Xi suspiciously.

"No, of course not." Qin Qingyang, who is still a little more sedate, explained to Betty: "yaonie does have some bad meanings, but in China, it is also used to refer to people who are smarter than genius."

"Smarter than genius?" Repeated Betty.

"Yes. They are smarter than geniuses. They are so smart that they make people feel scared. That's why they call them demons and monsters. It doesn't mean that they must be bad people. " Qin Qingyang nodded.

"I see." Betty nodded. "So, you must know more about him. Yin will call him that. Would you mind sharing it with me?" No matter which country women, gossip is nature.

"Don't you go to dinner? I'm starving Xiao Yao exaggerates to shout a way, decisively interrupted the gossip between the women.

"OK, let's eat." Betty nodded and headed off to the parking lot.

Because it's a private dinner, Betty doesn't bring her assistant or agent, and Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi naturally don't bring them. Xiao Yao doesn't bring them at all. A car is enough for four people to eat. When Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi came to New York this time, they rented a relatively comfortable nanny car. Xiao Yao took Chen Xuan's car, and only Betty had a private car, so naturally, they set out in Betty's car.

As Betty drives, Xiao Yao gets on the co pilot and leaves the two seats in the back row to two Chinese girls.

As the car drove out, Yin Xi in the back seat couldn't help murmuring to Qin Qingyang in Chinese: "do you think Betty is very nice to the little devil? It's just the first time we met each other. She invited him to dinner personally. She also invited us two fellow villagers to accompany her. Don't you like this little guy?"

Qin Qingyang hit Yin Xi and said, "don't talk nonsense. Betty has just given birth to her baby three months ago. It's time for her mother to love her children so much. When she sees such a special child as Xiao Yao, this kind of performance is also possible. "

"Cut ~" Yin Xi curled his lips, "mother's love is rampant, go to find her own children."

"They have their own children in Los Angeles. If they want to see them, they have to go back. Why don't you let other people's emotions shift? " Qin Qingyang said, "it's you. Don't shout Xiao Yao evil all the time. It's hard to hear." Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi were in the same circle. When they were in China, they knew each other and had a good relationship. This time, they were the only two Chinese models who came to the United States to participate in the EVA show. After getting along with each other, the relationship naturally went further. She was a few years older and unconsciously entered the role of sister.

"I don't think it's any good for him to hear me call him that. Maybe he would like me to call him a monster. " Yin Xi doesn't care about Tao.

Betty drives the car attentively. Yu Guang occasionally pays attention to Xiao Yao, the co driver, who looks out of the window to observe the night scene of New York. He doesn't pay much attention to the two colleagues who are whispering in the back seat.

When the car arrives at its destination, Betty stops by the side of the road in front of a restaurant. After the four got off, a waiter at the door came up and called "Ms. bellette" and took Betty's car key to help park the car. As a popular model and fashion celebrity, Betty Barrett didn't change her husband's family name after her marriage, so outsiders usually call her Ms. Barrett. Looking at the parking attendant's performance, it's obvious that Betty is either a member or a regular customer of the restaurant.Xiao Yao followed Betty into the restaurant. After a casual glance, he found a performance stage in the hall with a black grand piano on it. A closer look at the layout and various furnishings of the restaurant makes Xiao Yao feel familiar.
