Betty drove Xiao Yao back to the hotel after dinner according to Chen Xuan's request. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info when they were separated, Betty also took the initiative to ask for Xiao Yao's contact information.

Others invited guests to eat a French dinner, played two tunes in exchange for a membership card, Xiao Yao's night was quite good, after returning to the hotel, he took a bath very comfortably, and then comfortably lay on the luxury bed and fell asleep.

At eleven o'clock the next morning, Chen Xuan was late. After entering the door, Xiao Yao could tell from his radiant face that he had obviously had a good time last night.

"It's too late for your old man to come today, right?" Xiao Yao frowned. Although his language is very good, with this ten-year-old small body, he really doesn't dare to go out of the hotel in New York. Except for waking up in the morning and going to the hotel gym for an hour of early exercise, he has been bored in the hotel room all morning.

"The show is at night, and there is no rehearsal today, so there is nothing to do during the day, so it doesn't matter if you come later. Chen Xuan smiled, unimpressed by Xiao Yao's dissatisfaction.

"Okay, what are you going to do with me that afternoon?" Xiao Yao asked Chen Xuan.

"Whatever you want. Chen Xuan spread his hands, "The landmarks that I think you must go to have already taken you to yesterday." Come according to your wishes today, I'll take you wherever you want, ok?"

"Okay, then after lunch, you can take me to Broadway in the afternoon, and if possible, let's go to an opera or a musical or two. Xiao Yao said that since he came to New York, Broadway is definitely one of the places he really wants to go.

"What? You're only ten years old, how can you be interested in something as dull as a musical opera opera?" Chen Xuan's temperament is obviously not the kind of person who can sit quietly in the theater for hours.

"Don't you know that I also acted in a drama in China the year before last?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes.

"Oh my God, you're such a monster. I even took a monster as a student. Chen Xuan exclaimed exaggeratedly. He had been to Xiao Yao's house and had seen Xiao Yao playing musical instruments, but he didn't know that he could also perform in theater. Although Xiao Yao has been his student for two years, his understanding of Xiao Yao is not as comprehensive as that of Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi, who only met yesterday afternoon. Of course, it was also because Chen Xuan didn't go out of his way to find out.

"You promised to follow my wishes today, are you going to regret it?" Xiao Yao asked as he stared at Chen Xuan.

"Of course... No!" Chen Xuan really wanted to regret it, but when he saw Xiao Yao's eyes, he was defeated in the end, he, as a teacher, still wanted basic credibility and face in front of students.

After lunch, Chen Xuan took Xiao Yao to Broadway.

Broadway is not a theater, but the name of a north-south street in New York that runs through the island of Manhattan. Because of the numerous theaters that line the street, Broadway has become synonymous with musical theatre in the United States.

There are dozens of theaters on both sides of Broadway, with theaters on 44th to 53rd Streets called Neo-Broadway, which stage classic, popular, and commercial plays, while theaters on 41st and 56th Streets on Broadway, called Off-Broadway, show experimental, unfamous, low-budget plays.

Under normal circumstances, a musical is almost two and a half hours long, including the intermission. Xiao Yao had a whole afternoon, so he first took Chen Xuan to watch a classic musical in this world on Broadway, and after coming out, Xiao Yao, who was still unsatisfied, took the time to choose a shorter, experimental avant-garde short play on Broadway. After watching the two dramas, it's almost time for dinner.

Chen Xuan, who accompanied Xiao Yao to watch the musical for an afternoon, was heartbroken. Finally suffered until the torment was over, Chen Xuan immediately took Xiao Yao to have dinner in a hurry, and then took him to the scene of the Eva show in advance and threw him into the backstage that had not yet been prepared, as if he didn't want to stay with him for a second.

There is still about an hour before the show, the scene is not ready, and some preparations are still being made backstage. Because the whole performance of the evening was recorded and broadcast by CBS TV station in the United States, there were also several camera positions in the background that needed to be arranged. However, the position of the camera is fixed, and it can only shoot a limited number of fixed areas in the rest area, waiting area and passage entrance, which is far less than Xiao Yao's freedom to walk casually with the camera.

Xiao Yao, who had a camera around his neck and a camera bag on his shoulder, appeared backstage and immediately attracted the attention of most people in the backstage. Due to the early time, one of the three groups of performers did not arrive, and only some of the models arrived. The biggest name Betty Belette has not yet arrived, but the two Chinese models Qin Qingyang and Yin Xi, who participated for the first time, have arrived.

Because the scene was still being prepared, Xiao Yao did not run around to affect other people's work, so he found a quiet corner to sit down and rest, but his casual action of fiddling with the camera made the models a little inexplicably nervous.

Xiao Yao didn't take the initiative to find the two Chinese models he knew, but Yin Xi took the initiative to come over, smiled and whispered in Xiao Yao's ear: "Little friend, be merciful, how do you say that word? ”

Xiao Yao almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and looked at Yin Xi with an expression of being defeated by you. "Sister, the camera is here," Xiao Yao pointed to the camera on the side, "Can you not be so unscrupulous." ”

"What are you afraid of, they don't understand the Chinese we speak." Yin Xi said indifferently.

"Sister, do you know that there is a profession in this world called translation, and it is difficult to find a Chinese translator?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes.

"That's not afraid, we are all Chinese, and you should be partial to me. Yin Xi was right.

"Sister, you have a really big heart and a future, I am optimistic about you. Xiao Yao gave a thumbs up.

Yin Xi snorted, wrinkled his nose, got up and said, "That's it, I'll go change my clothes and warn you, don't come with me to take pictures secretly." Before the official opening of the show to change into the underwear to be shown, in order to change clothes conveniently and improve the speed, the models were uniformly wearing yukata on standby, Yin Xi just arrived, still in civilian clothes, not yet changed into a bathrobe.

"Did you invite me by changing direction? You know I have access to the dressing area. Xiao Yao held up his camera.

"You dare!" Yin Xi turned around and glared at Xiao Yao, and stretched out his right hand to compare his two fingers to Xiao Yao's eyes, meaning be careful that I poke your blind dog eyes, threatened, Yin Xi turned around and walked towards the dressing area.

Xiao Yao smiled and didn't get up to follow. It's not that he doesn't dare, but he thinks it's not interesting to just take some photos of changing clothes, and now that the show hasn't started, most of everyone's attention without a sense of urgency is on his body, and it's hard to take any interesting photos.

When the performance really starts, the backstage is busy, and everyone's attention is on the show and ignores him Xiao Yao, it is the time for him to play.

Betty Bellette arrived half an hour before the show started, which was not a big name at all. She is the contracted model of the Eva show, and Eva is also the biggest and most important part of her business contract, so she naturally won't make trouble for the owner.

After a few minutes, the three groups of performers also arrived one after another, and all the equipment on site had been installed and arranged, and entered the final testing and commissioning stage.

This year is the tenth year of the Eva Show, and Eva attaches great importance to it, and the preparation is very thorough and thoughtful, but even so, it can't prevent natural and man-made accidents from happening.

Ten minutes before the official start of the performance, the accident really happened. It was not the models or the on-site staff who had the accident, but the invited performers. The keyboardist in the pop rock band among the performers stayed in the bathroom for about ten minutes, and was helped out holding his right wrist and taken directly to the hospital.

It is said that he slipped in the bathroom, and then, by extreme coincidence, he slipped and held his right hand on the ground, but the position and force of the moment did not work correctly, and he injured his wrist. On the surface, it is estimated to be a wrist contusion. As a keyboardist, his hands are a guy who eats, not to mention that he can't play the piano with a wrist contusion, or he can barely play, and no one asks him to risk his career for a show.

Dunn Gyani, who got the news, was so angry that he couldn't find the right person even if he wanted to find someone to scold him. Blame the cleaner for cleaning the floor too cleanly?

Complaining about the problem could not solve the problem, and in the face of this unexpected situation, Dunn Giani had to find the members of the band to discuss a solution as soon as possible.

Before the performers went on stage, they were also waiting backstage, so Dunn went directly to the backstage of the show.

"Erik, is it possible to perform without a keyboard?" Dunn asked Eric Byrne, the leader of the band called Binoxey, who is also lead vocalist and co-guitarist.

"It's not possible," Eric Byrne shook his head, "that the sound of the keyboard is very important in the soundtrack of this song, and there is a solo of the keyboard that you can't play without a keyboard player." ”

"What about a different song?" Dunn made another offer.

"I don't recommend changing the song. "First of all, most of our songs, the sound of the keyboard is very important, and second, in the past few days, we have been rehearsing this song, temporarily changing the song, I can't guarantee the live effect." Thirdly, now that I change to other songs, I am not sure about the length of time, and I am worried that there will be problems with the timing of the model's catwalk. ”

"And what do you mean?" Dunn said without saying anything, only to ask Eric.

"Find a keyboardist to save the day. Eric said: "The time rhythm is controlled by the drummer, I just need him to memorize the score, play it without mistakes, work well with us, and be able to complete that solo under the guidance of the drummer." Even so, this is a bit demanding and requires a very good keyboardist to do it. ”

"In this situation, where can I find you a keyboardist temporarily?" Dunn sighed, "In today's audience, there are many stars in the music industry, but there are pure singers, band lead singers, and there is no shortage of people who can play the guitar, but there is really no one who is famous for playing keyboards." ”

As the heaviest model in this show, Betty Belette was also by Dunn's side at this time, and when she heard this, Betty suddenly remembered someone. Raising his head and scanning around the backstage, he saw a guy in a corner holding a camera and taking pictures here, so he reached out and pointed over there, and said to Dunn and Eric, "Dunn, Eric, I think I can let him try." ”

"Who?" Dunn and Eric looked up in the direction Betty was pointing at the same time, just in time to see Xiao Yao who put down the camera to reveal a stunned expression.

"Are you kidding?" said Dunn, looking back at Betty.

"Who's that guy?" Eric asked, but it was Dunn.

"That's the backstage photographer we hired this time, and he's only 10 years old. Dunn replied.

When Eric heard this, he also looked at Betty and asked the same thing as Dunn: "Ten-year-old photographer, Betty, are you kidding?"

"No," Betty said, raising her hand, "I mean it." ”

"Listen," Betty continued, "I watched him play two piano pieces in the dining room last night, and he did quite well. I also recorded it with my phone, but now the phone is not with me, if you don't believe me, I can go and get the phone and show it to you. ”

Seeing that neither of them reacted, Betty didn't rush to get her phone, but continued: "Qin and Yin told me that his father is a very famous musician in Huaxia, and he has been studying music since he was a child. Two years ago, he performed piano playing and singing at his father's wedding, and he also experienced a big scene of more than 200 people. Dunn, you must think he's a photography genius, that's why you brought him here. Musically, I think he's a genius as well. ”
