Chapter 1288

After the performance, Xiao Yao's task at the award ceremony was completed. At the end of the performance, after retiring from the stage, Xiao Yao went back to his seat in T-shirt and jeans without even changing back to the formal dress he wore when walking on the red carpet. Of course, shoes and socks are still on.

Xiao Yao's performance can be said to be very wonderful, and the atmosphere of on-site response is also quite warm, but this is an award ceremony. The guests of the performance are just for the fun, and people pay more attention to the ownership of those awards. So at the end of Xiao Yao's performance, after returning to the audience, everyone on the scene quickly turned their attention to the awards announced later.

Xiao Yao's name did not appear on the original list of performers announced by the organizers of the Billboard Music Awards. It was a bit unexpected that Xiao Yao suddenly appeared as a performer this time. Coupled with Xiao Yao's popularity and the effect of the stage performance, after the award ceremony, Xiao Yao's name not only appeared in many news newspapers reporting the Billboard Music Awards Tao, but also occupies a lot of content and space.

After these news reports about Xiao Yao appeared, they soon spread to China.

Different from the fact that the American media didn't know in advance, Xiao Yao's studio sent a message on Huaxia's official social media. More people in Huaxia's media and the public knew that Xiao Yao would participate in the billboard award ceremony and act as a guest of performance.

The day before yesterday, the reporter named Wang Wen interviewed Xiao Yao through online video about his frequent visits to casinos. In the video, Xiao Yao said that he was going to the United States for a holiday. In the news released by the studio, he specially explained that this is not a planned work schedule, but a temporary job accepted by Xiao Yao in the United States. Because of an accident happened to a guest of the Billboard Music Awards, the organizer met Xiao Yao, who was on holiday in Las Vegas, and asked him to replace him.

Although there have been Asian and even Chinese stars appearing at the heavyweight awards ceremony in the United States, the number is still very small in general, especially the music heavyweight awards ceremony, which is even rarer than the film and Television Awards and awards ceremony. How many famous singers can't think of the chance to come? Xiao Yao was asked by the organizers to save the scene when he was on a holiday in Las Vegas, and had the chance to be a guest on stage?

Such a news is quite topical and attractive. In the eyes of Chinese media, Xiao Yao and his personal studio have never used fake news to hype Xiao Yao to earn traffic. Since it is the news released by the official social media account of Xiao Yao studio, its authenticity should not be doubted. Therefore, many Chinese media have reprinted the news, and the news soon spread on the Chinese network.

In terms of the international popularity of Chinese musicians, Xiao Yao is definitely one of the top performers in the Chinese pop music circle. But in addition to being a member of an American band and acting as a guest on the Oscar stage, Xiao Yao himself has not participated in the award ceremony in the United States. As a guest of honor at the awards ceremony in the United States, many Chinese netizens and fans are looking forward to his performance.

As a result, after the news about this year's Billboard Music Awards ceremony came out from the media in the United States, many Chinese media reporters stationed on relevant news websites immediately reprinted those reports to China.

For Xiao Yao's performance at the award ceremony, the vast majority of American media gave a relatively positive evaluation, and even some media used adjectives such as "surprise", which also made Xiao Yao's fans and most ordinary Netizens feel very happy.

According to the report, when Xiao Yao performed an unpublished new song at the Billboard Music Awards ceremony, everyone was saying, "Xiao Yao played like this at the awards ceremony abroad!" "It's really Xiao Yao!" I also want to know what Xiao Yao's new song is like at the foreign awards ceremony.

It's a little pity that there is no video of Xiao Yao's stage performance in the media reports in the United States. Although Chinese Netizens found the audience's private video when Xiao Yao walked on the red carpet, they did not find the audience's private video of Xiao Yao's performance on the Internet in the United States. The netizens and fans of Huaxia are still unable to see what Xiao Yao's performance looks like.

But the good news is that the Billboard Music Awards ceremony will be broadcast on American TV, while the bad news is that the awards ceremony will not be broadcast live. It will be broadcast on ABC TV in the United States almost two weeks later. Therefore, Chinese netizens and fans will have to wait at least two weeks to see Xiao Yao's performance at the Billboard Music Awards ceremony.

Although we haven't seen Xiao Yao's performance video yet, it doesn't affect the enthusiasm of Chinese netizens to discuss this matter.

Some "remote blow" netizens preached on the Internet how awesome Xiao Yao is, and made a long face for Chinese stars at award ceremonies abroad. There are also some sour netizens who say that Xiao Yao is just a substitute for someone else to attend the show. He doesn't know how to "lick" the chance to win a prize. He doesn't even have a nomination. The saying of "winning glory with a long face" is exaggerated.

In response to such comments, some fans and netizens put forward evidence that although Xiao Yao did not win the prize, he had also been nominated for the Billboard Music Award before, and had received invitation to attend, but he was busy filming during the summer vacation. It can be seen from this that Xiao Yao disdains to paste on the award ceremony abroad. This time, he was invited to the rescue field when he was free, and it was even more impossible for him to "lick"!At this time, Xiao Yao's frequent access to casinos and gambling addiction have not yet completely passed. Xiao Yao's participation in the award ceremony as a guest of performance has brought down the public opinion trend of gambling in and out of casinos. As a result, some people who think they can see through the truth point out that this is Xiao Yao's and the studio's hype. The purpose is to divert the public's attention from Xiao Yao's relatively negative "gambling addiction" to the relatively positive "performing guests".

Of course, this argument was immediately refuted by some netizens

Xiao Yao, who is far away from the United States, didn't care much about things on the Huaxia network after receiving that interview. Anyway, Huaxia's affairs are watched by the people in the studio. If he needs to know something, the people in the studio will naturally inform him and let him know. After the Billboard Music Awards ceremony, Xiao Yao still returned to the track of counting cards in the casino every day before.

Tim haggis himself is not interested in gambling. He accompanies Xiao Yao to the casino. In addition to protecting Xiao Yao in name, he also wants to see how Xiao Yao counts cards. Xiao Yao can't understand and learn how to count cards. It's just like that when he read too much. Besides, Tim haggis asked for leave to come to Las Vegas, which is not so long.

After a few days with Xiao Yao and believing that Xiao Yao would not be in any danger, Tim haggis said hello to his local FBI colleagues in Vegas. He asked them to pay a little attention to Xiao Yao and returned to Los Angeles shortly after the Billboard Music Awards ceremony. Therefore, a few days after the award ceremony, Xiao Yao returned to the state of acting alone in Las Vegas.

After the Billboard Music Awards ceremony, Xiao Yao's actions in the United States were also affected to a certain extent.

In the past, American media reported that Xiao Yao frequented casinos, but Matt Dino was behind the news to spread the news to China. The scale of reports in the United States is not large, which can not be compared with the number and scale of media reporting Billboard Music Awards.

Due to his outstanding performance in the Billboard Music Award Ceremony, the media coverage of Xiao Yao is not small. The award ceremony was held in Las Vegas. People here pay more attention to Xiao Yao. Naturally, more people know about Xiao Yao.

Later, when he went to the casino, Xiao Yao finally got the treatment of a star, and was recognized by other gamblers in the casino several times. Fortunately, the casino is a place to play, not a place to pursue stars. Even if Xiao Yao is recognized, he is not surrounded by the excited crowd. At most, he smiles and greets people. He seldom meets the requirement of taking a group photo, which has little influence on his playing cards.

Xiao Yao has been in Las Vegas for more than half a month. The total number of casinos he aims at is small. Many casinos have been to more than one time. In principle, no matter how bad Xiao Yao behaves as a card counter, his "record" in various casinos is there. After so many days, he should have aroused doubts in casinos.

However, I don't know whether his "performance" was too good when playing cards, or because the news media reported on the Billboard Music Awards ceremony, the people in the casinos recognized him as a superstar of China and lowered their doubts about him. Anyway, almost a week later, Xiao Yao can still play at the blackjack table in the casino, and has not been refused service by the casino.

It's just that what should come is coming. Almost a month after Xiao Yao came to Las Vegas, he was finally rejected by the casino.

One day, when he entered a casino, Xiao Yao just finished changing his chips, he was invited to one side by the lobby manager of the casino, and told him that the casino suspected that he was counting cards and had put him on the blacklist of the casino. Considering his star status, the casino does not forbid him to enter the casino, but he can play slot machines, roulette, dice and other items, and all the gambling tables of poker items in the casino will refuse him to serve.

After that, Xiao Yao didn't argue, and didn't play slot machine or roulette as he said. He immediately went to exchange chips, left the casino, and admitted in action that he was indeed a card counter.

After leaving the casino, Xiao Yao did not return to his hotel, but went to another casino. Although some casinos have blacklisted him and heard that casinos share information with each other, Xiao Yao thinks that confidence sharing between casinos will not be so fast and thorough, so he wants to continue to try other casinos.

As a result of this test, Xiao Yao found that there was really a little space to be drilled. Xiao Yao went to three casinos in the morning. In the first two casinos, Xiao Yao was blacklisted by the casinos and couldn't go to the blacklist table. But in the third one, Xiao Yao sat at the blacklist table normally and played in this casino all morning.

It's hard to find a casino that can still play. Xiao Yao didn't plan to change another one in the afternoon as before. Even at noon, he didn't leave the casino for lunch. He directly asked the waiter in the casino to give him some food and sat at the gambling table like a gambler.

Unfortunately, it didn't last long. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, a staff member with a manager's name plate on his chest in the casino appeared and told Xiao Yao that the casino suspected him of counting cards. He had been blacklisted and asked to leave the gambling table.

Xiao Yao very much with the chips away from the gambling table, and then exchanged chips left the casino. After leaving the casino, Xiao Yao did not return to the hotel, but continued to go to other casinos. He will continue to test whether all the casinos he has been to have him blacklisted.This time, after four casinos, Xiao Yao found a casino that didn't refuse him to go to the blackjack table. After playing for more than two hours, Xiao Yao was asked to leave the 21 o'clock table by the casino.

When he came out from the last casino that could play blackjack, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon. He ran to four casinos in the afternoon and played in the fifth for more than two hours. When he left, it was already evening. So Xiao Yao didn't go to other casinos and went straight back to his hotel.

Back in the hotel room, Xiao Yao dials Nikki Thompson.

"Hi, Yang!" The phone was soon connected, and Nicky Thompson's voice came out of the receiver, "how did you remember to call me?"

"I'll keep my promise!" Xiao Yao's way to the point.

"Commitment?" Nicky Thompson was puzzled.

"I promised you that I would let you know the real reason why I went to the casino earlier than most people." "It's almost time now," Xiao Yao reminded

"Oh! "Ah?" Nicky Thompson said, "are you still in Vegas? Do you go to the casino every day for so many days? "

"Well," Xiao Yao said, "but I'll leave the United States soon and I won't go to casinos any more. That's why I called you."

"Are you going to tell me why you went to the casino?" Nicky Thompson got interested and asked, "what is it?"

"Do you remember that you promised me a condition at that time?" Xiao Yao said, "I need the media to disclose the reason why I went to the casino. You will find a media reporter to help me through Mr. Matt Dino. Ordinary media reporters can't interview people in the casinos, so I need that media reporter to go to the casinos with me tomorrow. He will hear the reason why I went to the casinos from the people in the casinos. "

Nicky Thompson was a little upset and said, "so you're not calling to tell me why you went to the casino, but to let me tell Matt to get you a reporter?"

"If he knows, he will tell you, and you will know earlier than most people." Xiao Yao said, "what I promise you is to let you know earlier than most people, not the first one. In fact, before I came to Vegas, other people knew why I went to casinos. You can't be the first to know

"There's no problem finding you a reporter, but I have a request." Nicky Thompson said.

"We said yes!" Xiao Yao frowned.

"Hear me out!" Nicky Thompson interrupted without waiting for Xiao Yao to finish, "my request is that I will go to the casino with you tomorrow. I'm in Los Angeles now. It's convenient for me to come here. I'm free tomorrow. I don't want to hear from others. I want to hear from myself. "

"Yes!" Hearing this request, Xiao Yao agreed.
