Chapter 1287

Nicky Thompson didn't tell Xiao Yao to go to the casino to find him. After entering the casino, he turned around and found Xiao Yao and Tim haggis sitting at a blackjack table,.

"Win or lose?" Nicky Thompson quietly walked past, suddenly sat in the position next to Xiao Yao, turned to ask him.

Xiao Yao didn't expect that Nicky Thompson would suddenly appear, but after all, he told the other party his position on the phone before, and was not too surprised at her appearance. Xiao Yao's surprised expression flashed away, and directly replied with a smile: "won a little."

"You want to play, too? Can I lend you some? " Xiao Yao played with a pile of chips in front of him and continued with a smile.

"No!" Xiao Yao's surprised expression appeared too short and recovered too fast. He didn't even ask "what's the matter with you". Nicky Thompson twisted his head and threw a pile of cash in front of the Dutch official. "Change chips!" he said

"Two thousand dollars!" The Dutch official picked up the cash, counted it, reported it, put away the cash, took out 2000 chips and pushed it to Nicky Thompson.

Two thousand yuan is not much for Nicky Thompson, but Nicky Thompson doesn't come to gamble. She comes to see Xiao Yao gamble. It seems too obvious to sit beside her, so she changes some chips and makes some small bets casually, playing while watching.

Nicky Thompson focuses most of her attention on Xiao Yao, but after watching for a while, she finds that she can't see the reason why Xiao Yao likes being in casinos so much.

First of all, judging from the results of winning and losing, Xiao Yao has won and lost. Although the overall number of wins is more, but in her view, it is just a little bit better luck, can not see where the fun of this result.

Secondly, although Xiao Yao lost less and won more, the amount of money he placed was not large. Xiao Yao's bet amount is only a few thousand yuan, almost no tens of thousands. Of course, a few thousand yuan is a big bet for ordinary people, but it's not much compared with Xiao Yao's star wealth.

Nicky Thompson knows that it's not the first time Xiao Yao has come to the casinos. In the past half month, he has gone to the casinos almost every day. This kind of situation, she did not feel very excited after watching it for a long time. She really couldn't figure out how Xiao Yao kept this kind of enthusiasm for more than half a month.

Almost two hours later, Xiao Yao's mobile phone rang. Xiao Yao takes out his mobile phone, takes a look and presses it. At the end of the game, Xiao Yao said to Tim haggis, "it's time for me to go. Do you want to continue playing? "

Xiao Yao needs to prepare in advance to attend the award ceremony and walk on the red carpet. Just now, the alarm clock set by Xiao Yao for fear of delay. The alarm clock on his mobile phone rings, which means it's almost time for him to change his clothes and make a look for the red carpet show.

Tim haggis's job as a bodyguard for Xiao Yao is a friend's help, not a real hired bodyguard. Last night was not a formal workplace. Tim haggis said that he was a bodyguard. In fact, he went as Xiao Yao's friend. Otherwise, he could not leave ahead of time. Today's award ceremony is a formal public occasion. Xiao Yao doesn't intend to let Tim haggis continue to act as a bodyguard. Tim haggis is a regular audience tonight. He doesn't have to leave now.

"I'm gone, too." Tim haggis said, "yesterday I asked my friends for help. It's almost time for the audience to enter the awards ceremony. I'll go directly to the audience."

With Nicky Thompson nearby, Tim haggis did not say clearly about the investigation of Hopson's food poisoning. He believes Xiao Yao should be able to understand.

"Good!" Sure enough, Xiao Yao nodded, "after the award ceremony, let's go back to Caesar Palace Hotel and see you again!"

"And you?" Xiao Yao turned his head and asked Nicky Thompson, "are you leaving now?"

"Go Nicky Thompson threw more than 1000 chips left in front of him to Hogan on the gambling table and said, "here you go!"

"Thank you He Guan said thanks with a smile and put away the chips.

"Please give me a chip box!" Xiao Yao pointed to the chips in front of him and told the Dutch officials.

There are more than 400000 chips in front of him, not to mention that there may not be enough cash at the gambling table. Xiao Yao himself doesn't need so much cash. He wants to transfer money. If he wants to transfer money, he needs to go to a special chip exchange office. Xiao Yao had dozens of chips in front of him, which were more than 400000 in total. He didn't have enough chips in both hands, so he asked the Dutch officer for the box to hold the chips, and the Dutch officer would also provide them to the gamblers who needed them.

Nicky Thompson and Tim haggis waited for Xiao Yao for a while. After Xiao Yao had packed all the chips, they followed him to the chip exchange.

"How much did you win in all?" On the way to the chip exchange, Nicky Thompson asked Xiao Yao curiously.

"Two hundred thousand!" Xiao Yaodao.

"Ah? So much? " Nicky Thompson was a little surprised and said, "I don't think you've always won."

"Oh Xiao Yao smiles.

"I see you don't look like a gambler. Why do you go to the casino every day after you come to LV?" Nicky Thompson said, "are you so lucky every day, can you win so much every day?""I said, I'll tell you why, but not now!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Che ~" Nicky Thompson turned his mouth. Although she just made a guess, she doesn't believe that Xiao Yao's luck is so good every day and she can win money in the casino every day.

After exchanging chips, Tim haggis left the hotel alone. Xiao Yao and Nicky Thompson went on walking together for a while. They separated after arriving at the area rented by the billboard for the award ceremony. Under the leadership of the staff, they went to their respective dressing rooms.

The next period of time is to change clothes and make-up, and then wait for the red carpet show to start.

As Xiao Yao is a temporary participant, Billboard magazine, the organizer of the award ceremony, has no time to even publicize Xiao Yao's participation in the award ceremony. At the beginning of the red carpet show, when Xiao Yao stepped onto the red carpet, there was a burst of discussion among the reporters and fans.

Even if the organizers don't have time to update the lineup of star guests to the media and the public, the in and out hosts who modify the process will certainly do it. Under the introduction of the host of the outfield, the media reporters and the audience will know who Xiao Yao is. What they discuss is why Xiao Yao, a Chinese star who has not been active in the United States for more than a year and has not been nominated for this year's awards, suddenly appeared in the guest list of this year's awards ceremony.

The red carpet show of the billboard award ceremony also has an interview session of the field host. In the interview, guided by the host's questions, Xiao Yao explained the identity of his acting guests and revealed that he would perform an original new song at the award ceremony. As a result, many people think that Xiao Yao wants to use the award ceremony as the premiere stage of the new song to be released, and he is taking this opportunity to promote the new song. As Xiao Yao has never done this before, some people even speculate whether Xiao Yao is ready to seriously explore his music market in North America.

Of course, the two questions were not asked by the field hosts, and Xiao Yao did not say. Those people just speculated, and they were not sure for the time being.

After the red carpet show, Xiao Yao entered and got to his seat under the guidance of the staff. As he is not the nominees, Xiao Yao's seat is in the audience area. Including Cordy Scott and Nicky Thompson, the stars Xiao Yao met last night who came to the rehearsal were all nominated. The seats were in different areas from him. Maybe the organizers considered last night's events, and the seats of btbs, the group of guests, were arranged far away from him. Xiao Yao looked around, and there were no stars he knew.

In the award ceremony of music awards, the nominees are all the stars of the music world, but in the audience, they are not necessarily the stars of the music world. In this award ceremony, the South Korean btbs group among the guests is actually a small number, but most of them are stars of other industries.

The so-called stars in other industries are mainly actors and sports stars. Xiao Yao's popularity in the United States does not entirely come from his music works. He has made several blockbuster cases in the United States. Some films have been shown in the United States, and he has participated in the all star masters in the United States. In addition to the music and fashion circles, there are many people in the film and sports circles who know Xiao Yao and are interested in him.

Xiao Yao is not the last star to walk on the red carpet. At this time, the red carpet show is still going on, the award ceremony has not started, and the venue belongs to a relatively free time. It's not easy for everyone to walk around. It's OK to talk and chat with the people next door. Several guests sitting next to Xiao Yao took the initiative to talk to Xiao Yao.

Although Xiao Yao did not like to participate in the award ceremony, he actually participated in many. At the age of 17, Xiao Yao once participated in the American Academy Awards ceremony as a performing guest. Now, at the age of 24, Xiao Yao comes to the Billboard Music Awards ceremony. Of course, he is not afraid. Xiao Yao's language is not a problem, and he is not afraid psychologically. Naturally, he is polite and tactful, with humor, which makes a good impression on the others.

Btbs, who are walking on the red carpet in front of Xiao Yao, have already entered. Although with Xiao Yao's seat separated from a distance, but they still unconsciously pay attention to Xiao Yao there. Seeing Xiao Yao talking with those American stars beside him happily, several people's hearts were more upset.

After a period of time, the red carpet show ended and the award ceremony began.

Generally speaking, Xiao Yao doesn't have to go to the award ceremony where he has been nominated. He certainly won't go to the award ceremony where he has not been nominated. However, since this time has come, even if there is no expectation of winning the prize, Xiao Yao will still put in it with a better attitude. No matter whether or not the camera lens of the scene has been shaken, when you sit in your seat, you should laugh, when others win the prize, you should clap and congratulate. Even when others are performing, they stand up from their seats and cheer and scream for the performance on the stage like the people next to them. It can be said that their performance is beyond reproach.

When the award ceremony was almost half finished, the staff quietly came to inform Xiao Yao to prepare for the performance, and Xiao Yao immediately got up and quickly went backstage with the staff to prepare.

In other words, Xiao Yao's performance was arranged in the second half of the award ceremony. Relatively speaking, it shows that the organizers still pay more attention to Xiao Yao's performance. Xiao Yao's performance did not disappoint the organizers.After the award of the best alternative song of the year, the host introduced the next guest on the stage. When the host finally named young Shaw, Cody Scott and Nicky Thompson from the nominees area took the lead in standing up from their seats and clapping and cheering. With these two people taking the lead, there was a lot of applause immediately.

An electronic curtain wall in front of the stage rises slowly. The audience and star guests see Xiao Yao, dressed casually in a dark t-shirt and jeans, with a log colored wooden guitar on his back, standing behind the microphone stand. The applause is a bit loud.

Next, the scene swept down the camera lens of the stage. The big screen showed that there was a square carpet on the stage behind the microphone stand in front of the scene. Xiao Yao didn't wear shoes and socks, so he stepped on the carpet with a pair of white feet.

"Ha, this guy is barefoot!" Someone said with a startled smile.

"This guy has something else?" Cordy Scott was also surprised and said, "he didn't have this design for last night's performance. Did he come up with this new design during today's rehearsal?"

"No," Nicky Thompson shook his head. "As far as I know, he's been in the casino this afternoon. There's no rehearsal at all. Maybe he came up with it just before he went on stage!"

This picture didn't last long on the big screen, and soon the camera shot back to Xiao Yao's upper body, but that was enough for the audience and star guests to see Xiao Yao's barefoot clearly, which also made the applause and cheers a little louder.

"Innovative? "Sensationalism?" Although the applause and cheers were a little louder, it's not that no one thought so much about Xiao Yao's barefoot, but most of them just thought so before Xiao Yao's performance. When Xiao Yao's performance began, many people who thought so changed their mind.

Although Xiao Yao is singing a new song that has not been published yet, from the melody rhythm of the whole song and Xiao Yao's state during the performance, Xiao Yao dressed casually and barefoot is very suitable for the performance.

The seemingly random rhythm of the song, the tongue flicking, the meaningless humming of the chorus, and Xiao Yao's head shaking during the performance, occasionally showing a little cute and a little cheap smile, all show Xiao Yao's freedom and randomness in performing this song. In the eyes of many people, Xiao Yao's performance of this song gives them an unrestrained and casual feeling. It's the same feeling to perform barefoot on the stage without shoes and socks. It's right.

Generally speaking, Xiao Yao's performance is quite different and wonderful enough, and the song sounds very good. Since the previous award was the best alternative song of the year, some people even think that Xiao Yao's song can be directly nominated for the best alternative song of the year next year.

Therefore, when Xiao Yao's performance ended and bowed to the audience, many star guests and audience cheered and stood up from their seats. It was not surprising that there were huge applause and cheers.
