Chapter 1279 The influence of old things

“The children are still young, and there is still a lot to learn and improve on stage performances.” The agent named John Lee said, “The guest performers at the Billboard Awards Ceremony are all top artists in the world. This time they are not Performing guests, we applied to the organizer to watch the performing guests rehearsal, so that they can learn how top artists communicate with all aspects during the rehearsal stage, how to prepare a perfect performance, and enhance their ability and experience in this area.”

“It’s another one to watch the rehearsal.” Nicky Thompson thought of Xiao Yao on the side, and said in his heart, “But their formation is much more formal and serious than Xiao Yao. No, they are taking the initiative. Here, Yang was called by Amy. He didn’t plan to come, so naturally there was no agent to follow, and he didn’t contact the organizer.”

“Oh,” Amy Hatton nodded and said strangely, “Then you should be in the performance hall now?”

“Before Mr. Scott is rehearsing.” John Lee said, “The details of his stage performance have been determined and will not be changed. Now it is repeating and familiarizing. It should be over soon. We know Thompson Miss is the next entertainer at the rehearsal, and she has already arrived, so she wants to visit first.”

“Miss Thompson, this is our new single last month. Please advise!” One of the seven young men took out a box, bent over and handed it to Nicky Thompson.

“This…” Nicky Thompson looked at the young man with hesitation.

“This is a tradition in the Korean showbiz circle, and it is also a habit of many Korean artists.” Xiao Yao said, sitting on the sofa.

Xiao Yao participated in the recording of Korean music TV shows with the Korean idol girl group Gstar. He has seen and understood this set in the Korean entertainment circle, especially the music idol circle.

“This is?” John Li was attracted by Xiao Yao’s voice, turned his head and glanced at him, and asked Amy Hatton somewhat unexpectedly.

When he came in just now, he saw an Asian young man and a white young man sitting on a sofa in the lounge. The two of them were dressed relatively ordinary and looked rather burly. When they came in, they did not do anything. John Lee thought they were Nicky Thompson’s bodyguards or staff members such as drivers. Listen at this time. When the Asian man interjected, it was obvious that his guess was wrong.

“This is Yang Xiao, a superstar from China!” Amy Hatton pointed to Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis with the palm of his hand and introduced, “This is Mr. Haggis, an American. Mr. Xiao’s friend.”

“He is also his bodyguard!” Tim Haggis sat on the sofa and waved his hand, adding. He was not interested in these Korean stars, so he simply waved his hand and did not get up from the sofa at all.

“Young Shaw?” John Lee was not interested in Tim Haggis, he just looked at Xiao Yao unexpectedly.

“Xiao Yaoxi?” The seven people in that group were also surprised.

“Hello, this is Xiao Yao.” Xiao Yao got up from the sofa, walked to a few people and nodded slightly. He still speaks English, but changed his name to Chinese pronunciation.

“Mr. Xiao, are you also a guest performer at the rehearsal?” John Lee asked, “As far as I know, your name does not appear to be on the list of performers at this awards ceremony.”

“Do you look like me, like a guest performer at rehearsal?” Xiao Yao pointed to the clothes on his body and smiled.

“Then why are you here?” John Lee asked strangely.

“Mr. Xiao is the stage director we invited,” Amy Hatton said, “He is here to advise Nicky on stage performance.”

“Wow ” John Lee said in surprise.

“Actually, I don’t think I can help much,” Xiao Yao smiled. “In fact, like you, I want to see how the world’s top artists rehearse for the purpose of learning. It’s just that I am not even a guest at the ceremony, and I even apply to the organizer. There is no chance to watch the rehearsal. In order to satisfy my wish, Ms. Hatton asked me to be the so-called “stage instructor.” When Xiao Yao mentioned stage instructing, he raised his hands and bent **** to hook it. A “double quotation mark” gesture indicated, “Temporarily let me join their team and bring me in.”

“This hehe!”

John Lee didn’t believe what Xiao Yao said very much, but if Xiao Yao wanted to be a guest at the ceremony, he would be able to attend, and he also meant to underestimate the bulletin board award ceremony. After all, Xiao Yao has not been active in the United States in the past two years. . To follow Xiao Yao’s words, I don’t think it’s appropriate. He didn’t know how to answer Xiao Yao’s words, so he could only laugh twice.

“Xiao Yaoxi, you are too modest.” A young man in the group said, “The performance stage you designed when you were eighteen was so great, it must be even more powerful now.”

“Miss Thompson, you made a great choice.” The young man turned his head and said to Nicky Thompson, “If Young is your stage director, I believe your performance will be the whole award ceremony. The most exciting performance!”

“The most exciting?” Xiao Yao smiled, “You too value me too much!”

“When you were eighteen?” Amy Hatton heard a little taste, looked at the group and said, “You know Mr. Xiao before?”

“Yes,” Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, “We once participated in a music TV program jointly produced by China and South Korea TV stations. I was eighteen years old.”

“I only participated in one episode,” Xiao Yao turned to the South Korean group, “I didn’t expect you to remember it!”

“No, to be precise, it should be two periods, no, it should be three periods!” The group member who spoke before said, “The first period is to design its own stage performance, the first period is not to perform, but it is designed. There are two performance stages and one stage. We only learned after the fact that the masked DJ on the live stage was you. You participated in three stages in total and won three championships. Of course, we were very impressed.”

“Really?” Xiao Yao smiled, “I thought you were impressed because of Mr. Sky Park Dacheng.”

This BTBS combination had an intersection with Xiao Yao before. Xiao Yao participated in an electronic music program jointly organized by China and South Korea during the winter vacation of his senior year of high school. At that time, China and South Korea each had two veteran artists as captains, and selected young artists from the country as team members for the competition. Xiao Yao and Chen Chen were members of Shazhou for a period together, and this BTBS combination was a boy group combination under Park Dacheng at that time.

Before Xiao Yao participated in that show, young Korean artists won three championships in the first four shows, which was obviously dominant, but after Xiao Yao went there, not only won the current championship, but also the next two shows. The artists who were still helping Hua Xia behind the scenes won two more single-period titles, and all of a sudden, the number of single-period champions in China accounted for half of the total.

In the first few episodes of that show, because young Korean artists performed much better than those from China, the teams under the two captains in Korea had changed. Usually it is replaced after winning a single championship, and then other teams in Korea will compete.

BTBS only went to the fourth episode, one episode earlier than Xiao Yao. Although he did not win the championship in the fourth period, his results were quite good. Originally thought that after the champion returned to China, after changing to other combinations, they would be able to win the next round of champions and return to China to rest. However, after Xiao Yao joined China, China won three consecutive single-season champions.

The first Korean group won three consecutive championships, and the latter China won three consecutive championships. With such a contrasting result, the Korean group participating in the following three programs has been criticized by many media and fans in Korea, as well as peer competition. The opponent’s ridicule.

The end of the show, after the group returned to Korea, the subsequent development has also been greatly affected. Almost a year later, the company adjusted their development strategy, shifting their target markets from China and South Korea to Europe and the United States. Although they seem to have developed well in Europe and the United States over the past four years, they seem to have a lot of fans, and their results on various charts after the release of the song are also good, but the real situation is not as good as it seems on the surface. it is good.

Although South Korea has a good relationship with European and American countries, there are still significant cultural differences between Europe, America and Asia, especially East Asia. It is not so easy for them to push Korean Wave culture to Europe and the United States. Their fans are mainly concentrated in the younger middle school age group young people, most of the European and American audiences and peer entertainers in the European and American entertainment circles do not recognize and accept them. They are far from reaching and seem unlikely to reach the popularity of Sky Park Dae Sung in the European and American entertainment circles that year.

The reason why their company changed its strategy and arranged for them to enter the European and American markets was a big reason for the electronic music program that year and the subsequent impact of the program, and to trace back to the source, Xiao Yao, who turned out in the program, can be Said to be the most fundamental reason.

They were members of Park Dacheng’s team when they participated in that show. Their combination looks good in Europe and the United States in recent years. In addition to their company and their own efforts, Sky Park Dae-sung, who has a good reputation in Europe and the United States, is also a very important reason for their support and help. In that show, Xiao Yao had a dispute with Park Dacheng, and made Park Dacheng apologize in public.

All these reasons are combined, and their combination naturally doesn’t have a good impression of Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao’s memory is very good, so he naturally remembers that their group participated in that show back then. Although he didn’t know that this combination was forced to turn to Europe and the United States, he remembered that this combination was a member of Park Dae-sung at the time, and he had unhappy with Park Dae-sung in the show.

At the beginning, Xiao Yao was not sure if this group still remembered and minded the events of the show, so it was normal. But when they heard the words “18 years old” and “the most wonderful”, it sounded like praise or praise, but actually meant to stand up for themselves, Xiao Yao was naturally not polite.

Xiao Yao didn’t have much intersection with this Korean group in that show, and there was no direct conflict. The only reason they were unhappy with themselves could only be because they were a member of Park Dacheng at the time, and he had been unhappy with Park Dacheng, and he lost the face of Park Dacheng, so Xiao Yao directly named Park Dacheng’s name.

Because there are also Amy Hatton and Nicky Thompson nearby, when Xiao Yao speaks with that group of people, both speak English, and Amy Hatton and Nicky Thompson can understand them.

“Sky?” Amy Hatton asked curiously, “Has Mr. Xiao still participated in a show with Mr. Park?”

“Young, there is still a story between you and Sky?” Nicky Thompson also asked curiously.

Nicky Thompson has been famous for more than five years, and Amy Hatton has been an agent for more than five years. Both of them have experienced the period when Sky became popular in Europe and the United States. Naturally, they know who Xiao Yao said Sky is.

“Excuse me,” the young man in the group bowed slightly to Nicky Thompson and Amy Hatton, “We have to visit other artists, let’s say goodbye!”

They did not want to say that Park Dacheng was forced by Xiao Yao to apologize in public on the show, and they did not want to hear Xiao Yao tell them about it, so they said goodbye.

“Okay,” Nicky Thompson glanced at Xiao Yao, smiled and took the CD case in the young man’s hand, “Thank you for your gift, I will listen!”

“See you in the performance hall later!” John Lee bowed to Amy Hatton and Nicky Thompson.

“See you later!” The two men also bent slightly to signal.

“Young, I can see that they don’t like you!” After the eight people left, Nicky Thompson said to Xiao Yao, “Can you tell me the story between you?”

“Actually, there is no story between us!” Xiao Yao smiled, “We just participated in a show together, but there is no story!”

“That has to do with Sky!” Nicky Thompson said, “You just said that you were only eighteen years old at that time? Sky was more than twenty years older than you, and he should be more than forty years old at that time. I’m very curious about ten. What story can happen between the eight-year-old you and the 40-something-year-old Sky!”

“You…” Xiao Yao smiled and was about to speak, but was suddenly interrupted by Nicky Thompson.

“Forget it, don’t say it!” Nicky Thompson waved his hand, “You are a liar, I can’t believe what you said!”

“Hey, I said, I didn’t lie to you, but I selectively concealed some things.” Xiao Yao said uncomfortably.

“Well, I am worried that you will choose to conceal some things again, causing me some misunderstandings!” Nicky Thompson said.

“Jenny, you can check it for me!” Nicky Thompson turned to his assistant and said, “When Yang was eighteen, it was five or six years ago. Five or six years ago, China and South Korea produced a music TV program together. , Yang, BTBS, and Sky have all participated in that show. It should be easy to find. You can check all the relevant news for me. You should know what I want to know.”

“Okay!” The female assistant nodded, took out her mobile phone and sat on the sofa aside.
