Chapter 1281

"What are you looking at me for?" Xiao Yao noticed the eyes of Nicky Thompson and Cody Scott, and said in his heart, "this is a music award ceremony. The nominees are all American famous singers and musicians. Who can't bring out a program? There are more than 20 groups of star musicians nominated this year, and there are less than 10 groups of performing guests. I'm not even a guest of honor. How can I get my turn? "

Nicky Thompson and Cody Scott seem to have taken this into consideration. They just look at Xiao Yao and don't say anything to David Green.

"Then contact a star guest who has been nominated!" David Green said, "it's too late to rehearse tonight at this time. I can arrange a rehearsal for the substitute performance tomorrow afternoon."

Sure enough, David Green's first reaction was to find someone to save the scene from the nominees. To be a guest of performance means that there will be more scenes for several minutes at the award ceremony. Under normal circumstances, stars should be willing to.

"It's not going to work!" The young man with his work card shook his head and said, "the stars who have been nominated are very big. They have a lot of endorsements, and they have a very full schedule. You know, LV is a famous shopping paradise. There are many luxury shops here. Many stars who have not been assigned performance tasks will have other activities in the daytime tomorrow. Let alone let them prepare the program, I'm afraid there's no time for rehearsal. "

"Are the big stars in America busy?" Xiao Yao glanced at Nicky Thompson not far away and thought strangely, "that guy seems to have been playing here for at least a week!"

"What about that?" Asked David Green.

"I have a suggestion," the young man said, "don't we have star guests at this award ceremony? I think we can find someone among those people to be a guest performer and give a show at the awards ceremony tomorrow night. "

"Those star guests are also stars. Do any of them have time?" Asked David Green.

"Yes," the young man nodded, "I heard that btbs from South Korea came to see the rehearsal tonight. Now it's here. I think they can! If they want, they can rehearse tonight! "

The young man said here, btbs seven people and their agent just came in.

"Miss Thompson!" Agent John Lee came up with seven people to say hello to Nicky Thompson. He bowed slightly to David Green and said, "Mr. Green, according to the previous agreement, the children come to watch Miss Thompson's rehearsal. If you disturb your work, please forgive me."

"Never mind," said David Green, waving his hand. "I'm glad you're here, Mr. Li. We have a problem now, we need your help... "

"Wait a minute!" Nicky Thompson interrupted. "David, if you really need a temporary performance, I suggest you invite yang to be the guest of the show! He came to LV for a holiday. There is no work arrangement here these days. He is very free. "

"I agree!" Cordy Scott also said, "I also think young is more suitable to be the guest of the show!"

Xiao Yao's refusal to perform with them at the award ceremony does not mean that Xiao Yao will not perform at the award ceremony. The reason why Xiao Yao refuses them is that he is worried that people in the immortals band think that he dislikes them and wants to go up high. So Xiao Yao, as a guest performer, should not have this problem when performing alone. It's not that Xiao Yao has a chance to stand on that stage only when he leaves the band.

"What? What are you talking about? " The young man in front of David Green was stunned, "Yang? Who is that? "

"Chris, don't you know young Shaw?" David Green smiles and points to Xiao Yao.

Now it's rehearsal time. The lights in the area above the auditorium are not very bright. When the young man named Chris came in, he recognized Cody Scott sitting in the auditorium beside David Green and Nicky Thompson not far away from David Green, but ignored the people around Cody Scott. He thought the two people sitting next to Cody Scott were members of his team.

"Hello, I'm Yang Xiao, from China!" Xiao Yao saw that Chris looked at him and stood up with a smile.

"Huaxia? Are you the young Shaw Chris was surprised.

"Young, this is Chris Robertson, who is mainly responsible for coordinating and contacting stars. He doesn't know you are here tonight!" David Green explained to the guide.

"Chris young is a stage director hired by Nicky's team to help Nicky improve his stage performance," David Green told Chris Robertson. "He's not a star guest at the awards ceremony. He's just coming to see Nicky rehearsal, so I didn't tell you!"

"I see," Chris Robertson nodded abruptly, and then said to David Green, "since young won't attend the awards ceremony, we can't invite him to perform, can we?""No," said Nicky Thompson, "young didn't plan to come to the awards ceremony before, because he felt that the selection of guests and the process of the award ceremony had been determined, and didn't want to trouble the organizers to make adjustments for him. Now that Hopson is ill and can't come to the award ceremony, we can just invite yang to be the guest of audience and performance

"But Hopson is the nominees, and his location area is different from that of the guests." Chris Robertson said.

"It's not a problem," said Nicky Thompson. "Although they are in different areas, the two areas are connected. Just move some nominees' seats and empty seats from the nominees' area to the guests' area. We haven't received the seat map for tomorrow night. You can rearrange your seats. I don't think it's going to be a problem, do you? "

"This..." Chris Robertson hesitated.

"I agree," David Green said. "Chris, one more star, after all, is good for the audience. Besides, Young's popularity in the United States is not low."

"Well, have you ever asked me about it? Did I promise? " Xiao Yao make complaints about several people, and Tucao in his heart.

But Xiao Yao thinks so in his heart. He can't say so directly. Just as Xiao Yao thought about the language and was ready to speak, the man beside him, John Li, spoke first.

"We also think it's a good idea to invite Mr. Xiao to be the guest of honor." John Lee looked at Xiao Yao and said, "but Mr. Xiao is here on holiday. I wonder if he is ready to perform on stage? In addition, the guests at the Billboard Awards ceremony usually perform the songs on the billboard charts in the past year. Mr. Xiao has not been active in the United States for more than a year, and it seems that no works have been on any billboard charts in the past year, right

When John Lee came in, he was very happy, but since Nicky Thompson and Cody Scott spoke, his face has been black unconsciously.

South Korea and Huaxia are similar in some places. When it comes to movies, there are still some people who can be called international, but when it comes to music, there are fewer. Sky Park is one of the most popular Korean musicians in Europe and America in this century. Although he once helped btbs develop in the United States with his contacts, in recent years, he has basically disappeared.

John Lee is a Korean American who has worked in the United States for a long time. Originally, he didn't have any special feelings about Xiao Yao. However, after coming out of Nikki Thompson's lounge, btbs told them about their holiday with Sky Park Dacheng, and he was very interested in Xiao Yao. Btbs also told John Li that park Dacheng apologized to a young Chinese artist on the show and was beaten in the face, which had a great impact on him.

John Lee is not happy with Xiao Yao, but after listening to Nicky Thompson and David Green, he also knows that it is useless to speak against Xiao Yao's participation in the award ceremony as a guest of audience, so he focuses on the guest of performance. This opportunity to be a performing guest was arranged for btbs by the company and him, who did a lot of things. They didn't want to be robbed by others, let alone Xiao Yao.

"There's no such rule for the billboard award ceremony, is there?" Nicky Thompson looked at David Green and said, "some of Young's works have done very well on the billboard. Although they have been on the list for a little long time, they are still very good as repertoire."

"Yes Cordy Scott also nodded and said, "for example, the song" perfect ", he only performed once at the half-time of the masters, and later did not perform in the United States. The effect of the masters was very good. I believe it will be very good when it is put on the billboard stage

"But the bulletin board is more timely," Chris Robertson interjected. "Although it's not clearly stipulated, it's true that very few singers perform old songs!"

"Who said I didn't have any billboard works in the past year?" Xiao Yao looked at John Li and said with a smile, "don't you know that I still have a stage name called ys? That's what I use to distribute audio works. In the first half of this year, I released two e-singles, "Monody" and "unity", both of which have achieved good results on the bulletin board e-list. Is it not a billboard list? "

At the beginning of this year, when Xiao Yao participated in the electronic audio program of Haiyan video, he made two electronic audio works. Later, these two electronic audio songs were officially released. Xiao Yao has produced a lot of English songs, and has a regular American record company as a partner to represent the distribution of his songs in North America. Xiao Yao's two electronic music songs are both in English, and naturally have been released in the United States.

Although Xiao Yao himself did not come to the United States for any single promotion, but in the cooperation of the U.S. record company's conventional means of publicity and the quality of the song itself is good enough and attractive enough, the two electronic sound works have achieved good results in the bulletin board electronic sound list.

"Monody and unity? I remember! " David Green suddenly asked Xiao Yao, "do you want to perform one of those two electronic songs at the award ceremony?"Although Xiao Yao didn't get the nominations for the best e-voice song and the best e-voice producer on the billboard this year because of those two e-voice songs, David Green thinks that any one of them is absolutely qualified for the performance of the award ceremony.

"No," said Xiao Yao, shaking his head, "I just told Mr. Li that I had some works on the billboard in the past year, not that I would perform one of them on the stage of the award ceremony."

"You want to play old songs?" David Green was surprised. "Perfect?"

"I agree with Nikki and Cordy that the Billboard Awards ceremony does not stipulate that performers must perform the works listed on the billboard in the past year." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I have a habit, or love good, that is to perform a new work in public. I wonder if you will allow me to perform a new song that hasn't been released if I agree to your invitation and become a temporary guest of the show? "

Xiao Yao obviously felt that btbs's agent was not very friendly to him. At the same time, he also saw that they were very concerned about the opportunity of the performance guest. In this case, Xiao Yao, who is not happy with them, naturally wants to fight. However, even if he says he is willing to be a guest of the show and wants to fight for the performance opportunity, Xiao Yao is not submissive. He has to show his personality according to the other party's wishes.

"Mr. Xiao, do you want to use the billboard award ceremony as your new song release stage?" John Lidao.

"No?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "they need a performance. I'll give them a performance. As long as the live effect is good enough, what does it have to do with new songs?"

"A new song, without any foundation, how to ensure the effect of the scene?" John Lidao.

"My name is the guarantee!" Xiao Yao is very domineering way, "I often perform new songs in public, there is no scene effect is not good!"

"Ha John Lee gave a laugh.

"I believe in young." Cordy Scott told David Green, "think about the masters that year, when young sang" perfect ", that song had not been released. It was a brand new song. You should know the effect at that time! "

"Cordy, you've mentioned perfect three times," Xiao said with a smile. "How much do you like that song?"

"Very, very much!" You may not know, I was in the audience of the masters and my wife was sitting next to me. It happened to be Valentine's day. She was so intoxicated after listening to your song

"I remember that year's masters was Valentine's day, and the Song Yang Sang was another love song! That time was quite special. I don't think it's of great reference value. " Chris Robertson said, "if young insists on singing new songs, I think it's better to ask btbs to perform. At least their works have been performed in public in the first half of the year. The atmosphere is very good and the effect can be guaranteed. "

David Green looked down and thought for a while, then looked up and said, "in fact, we professionals who have been working in the industry for many years can predict what the performance will be. Since Chris recommends btbs, Nicky and Cordy recommend young, why don't you perform on the stage separately. After watching, we think that whoever performs better will replace Hopson as the guest of performance. "

"On site PK? I agree! " Xiao said, "but as I said, what I'm going to perform is a brand new song that hasn't been released yet. In fact, the song has only music score and lyrics, and has not been recorded or accompanied. I need musicians and time to practice with them. "

"Yes!" David Green said, "today is the rehearsal for the guests. Now the rehearsal is not over. I'll continue the rehearsal here. You can find a place to rehearse with the musicians. Besides this performance hall, there are other suitable rehearsal places in this hotel. As for musicians and musical instruments, I can't arrange for you, but Cordy's musicians and musical instruments are all brought by himself. I believe he should be very willing to help you! "

"Of course!" Cordy Scott told Xiao Yao, "I'd love to see your new song, too."

"Thank you," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "but I can tell you in advance, it won't be like perfect!"

"But," David Green said, "the preparation time I can give you is less than two hours. When our rehearsal is over, you will have to perform, OK?"

"Two hours? Is it too little? " Cordy Scott said, "Yang's song hasn't been recorded yet, which means he hasn't made any arrangements. It's OK for me to lend someone to him, but these people are cooperating with Yang for the first time. They need to break in and cultivate tacit understanding! Two hours to compose and rehearse, isn't it too tight? I think it's better tomorrow afternoon. If they practice well, they don't need rehearsals any more. "

"Never mind!" Xiao Yao said, "I've got an idea for composing. As long as the musicians are professional enough, two hours should be enough. I'm sure all the musicians you invite are very professional, so there's no problem. ""Well, that's settled!" David Green said, "I'll arrange for a staff member to help you find a rehearsal place. When my rehearsal is over, I'll send someone to inform you! "
