Chapter 486: A Seaside Performance
"Today is the last day, can't Jan still learn to dive for that O's diving license?" Sally in the modeling team guessed, found Chen Xuan and asked, "Tiere, is Jan still learning to dive and hasn't come back?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen him today. Chen Xuan smiled and shook his head, "But I'm sure he's not diving." As far as I know, he had already completed the full course of diving yesterday. It's already night, and he's not learning to dive at night, it's definitely not in the sea at this time. ”
"So where did he go? It can't be that he left early?" Sally guessed again.
"What? Leaving early without saying goodbye to us is too much, isn't it?" the other models exclaimed angrily.
"No!" Chen Xuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "He won't do that!"
"And where did he go?" asked Sally again.
"I don't know, but I can guess!" Chen Xuan said with a smile, "Gilbert doesn't say who the performers for tonight's performance are, and Yang is nowhere to be seen, so I guess there is only one possibility." You know, Jan wasn't just a photographer, he's a singer. You've all heard him sing, and don't forget, he's also an entertainment star!"
"You mean, it's Jan who is putting on a show for us tonight?" Sally's eyes widened.
"Gilbert, is it true?" asked Abby, who was walking beside Elbert Goodman, immediately taking his arm by the arm.
"Tier, you big mouth, I wanted to surprise the girls!" Elbert Goodman didn't answer, but glanced at Chen Xuan dissatisfied.
"Wow~ It's really Jan!" the models exclaimed. Although Elbert Goodman didn't say it directly, it obviously meant to admit it.
"Yes! Jan is the performer tonight. As you know, tonight's show wasn't in our original plan. Where am I going to find other stars for you to perform?" Elbert Goodman told the models, "Actually, it was Young's idea to do this show tonight. He said he wanted to express his gratitude to you for being his MV actor for free, and for making him have a very pleasant experience, so he asked us to help him prepare for tonight's performance. Today, he was with the staff all day, preparing for the evening performance. ”
"Specially prepared a show for us, Jan was so sweet!"
"What a lovely good boy!"
"Great, I listened to him sing a song that night, and I always felt like I hadn't heard enough!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait!"
Hearing Elbert Goodman's confirmation that the performer was Xiao Yao, the models were not disappointed, but accelerated their pace excitedly.
The performance took place on a sandy beach not far from the team's location. When everyone has not yet arrived and there is still some distance from the performance venue, the scene seen from a distance surprises the models first.
Seven or eight bonfires were lit on that beach, arranged in two semicircles, evenly spaced and neatly arranged, and very conspicuous. Even more conspicuous are the side near the sea, where three huge letters made of some kind of pipe stand on the sand. The tubes seemed to be filled and wrapped in some kind of fuel, both in the middle and on the outside, and all of them were burning. The letters "E", "V" and "A", which are made up of flames, look spectacular on the beach at night.
"Gilbert, did you design this? it's really cool!" Abby asked excitedly, pointing to the three burning letters, holding Elbert Goodman beside her with the other.
"No, no, no," said Elbert Goodman with a smile and a wave of his hand, "this show was Young's idea, and the setting of the show was designed by Jan. ”
When setting up this background during the day, Elbert Goodman had proposed to put the letters of the background into Xiao Yao's name "YS", but this performance was Xiao Yao's gratitude to the models and staff of the shooting team, and he had no intention of using Eva to promote himself, so he insisted on making it Eva's English "EVA", which he said was more suitable for appearing in future documentaries. Elbert Goodman saw that Xiao Yao was so thoughtful, and his affection for him was even deeper.
"It really looks like Yang's handwriting!" Chen Xuan also walked over and said, "I heard that when he participated in TV shows in Huaxia, the stage lighting has always been designed by himself. ”
"And I seem to have seen this scene somewhere. Chen Xuan touched his chin and thought about it, slapped his face and said, "I remember, I saw a video on the Internet in Huaxia, it was Yang who was camping in the mountains when he took fans on a trip, and he made a background similar to this." At that time, the letter spelled out with flames was XY, which was a stage name used by Yang in China. Of course, not so big, not so delicate. ”
Xiao Yao's idea really came from the scene of the party with fans at the camp in Guangyuan. That time was a temporary suggestion of the fans, and they tied it with wood, wrapped it around the outside, and poured oil on it. This time, Xiao Yao was prepared for a long time, and he wanted to make documentary materials, so he naturally made it more spectacular and exquisite.
"Jan is still traveling with his fans?, female fans?" Sally immediately gossiped.
"There are a lot of people in the video, both men and women, and it is said that there are more than 20 of them. Chen Xuan replied.
"Traveling with more than 20 fans and camping in the mountains?" the models next to him were surprised, "There is still such a star?
"It's not just about traveling with more than two dozen fans. Chen Xuan smiled, "When Yang was a teenager, he used to take dozens of fans to the street to dance and play flash mobs together. I don't dare to say anything else, but among the stars I know, he is definitely the best at playing and daring to play!"
"It's unbelievable," several models standing next to Chen Xuan shook their heads and sighed, "The more I know about him, the more I find him unbelievable!"
"All right, girls, let's go! Jan is waiting for you there. Everyone stopped unconsciously at such a discussion, and Elbert Goodman slapped everyone in the face.
"Let's go!" several models simply ran on the beach.
"Ladies, no, girls, everyone is welcome!" Xiao Yao, who was sitting in front of the background of three huge letters with a guitar on his back, saw the models arrive, smiled and waved in welcome.
"It's a great honor to perform for everyone, please take a seat!" Xiao Yao pointed to a few large logs not far in front of him, "Of course, if you want to stand and watch, I have no opinion." ”
Although it will be used as material for a documentary, after all, it is a performance on the beach, Xiao Yao wants to be casual and doesn't want to be particularly formal. There are definitely no seats such as chairs, and Xiao Yao himself is not sitting on a chair, but a square stone moved from the sea. However, it was not appropriate to let the models sit directly on the sand, so Xiao Yao simply moved a few logs with the staff and threw them on the sand in front of him as a stool for the models to sit on. If it was during the day, Xiao Yao might have built a shade shed for the models or something, but the performance was at night, so naturally there was no need.
"Oh~"
"Jan!"
"Jan!"
The models didn't have a problem with the humble seating, and even felt that it was more in line with the live environment. Everyone laughed and sat down on the log still with the bark, shouted Xiao Yao's name, and raised their hands to applaud Xiao Yao.
"Thank you!" Xiao Yao smiled and raised his hands to signal to everyone.
"The show starts now!" and when the models' voices were a little quieter, Xiao Yao continued, "The first song I performed for you tonight is the first English song I wrote, called "TheLazySong", I hope you like it!"
"Wow~"
I heard that it was the first English song created by Xiao Yao, and the models all exclaimed.
This song five years ago was very popular in China for a while, but it is not particularly famous in the world, and many people have never heard it. Everyone was already curious about what the first English song Xiao Yao composed was, and when they heard this somewhat strange song title, everyone's interest was even greater.
Xiao Yao put his hand down, but did not immediately press on the strings, but quickly slapped the top of the guitar case with his fingers, replacing the drum beat in the prelude of the song. This simple action alone attracted several models to give it applause.
“Today I Don't Feel Like Doing Anything,HuHuHu~HuHuHu~I Just anna Lay In My Bed~ HuHuHu~HuHuHu~”
After a short drum beat, Xiao Yao moved his fingers to the strings and plucked them, and sang while playing the guitar.
"Wow~"
"It's so much fun!"
At the end of the first two sentences, Xiao Yao also whistled two short paragraphs. When singing, Xiao Yao is smiling and nodding while singing, and when whistling, Xiao Yao is quickly shaking his head from side to side while blowing. Just the first two sentences, everyone was amused by Xiao Yao and clapped their hands and laughed.
The seating for this performance is relatively simple because I want to look more natural, and the sound still needs to be guaranteed. Performing on the beach, which is a relatively empty venue, sound and other amplification equipment are still prepared. Xiao Yao sang into the microphone, and the guitar was also connected to the stereo, although the models laughed happily and made a lot of noise, but at least it did not cause much interference to Xiao Yao in terms of sound.
“Don't Feel Like Pick Up My Phone,So Leave A Message At The Tone,Cause Today I Sear I'm Not Doing Anything!”
Xiao Yao continued to sing unaffected, although there was no more whistle in the back, but the song still made the listeners happy.
"Oh yes~"
"Yes, I want to do that too!"
The models shouted with laughter.
"TheLazySong" is a very interesting song. The upbeat melody paired with the witty and humorous lyrics makes it easy to relax and have fun with the listener. Most of the people at the scene heard this song for the first time, but as soon as they heard it, they immediately liked it.
In the process of Xiao Yao singing this song, the whole scene was full of laughter, and the atmosphere of the performance quickly became relaxed and lively. At the end of the song, everyone also cheered and gave a round of warm applause.
"Thank you!" Xiao Yao, who was sitting on the stone, bowed slightly to the audience in front of him, and continued, "Everyone has worked hard during this time, and I hope that from tomorrow, everyone can enjoy a very lazy holiday." ”
"I'll listen to you! When I get home tomorrow, I'll turn off my phone! Lie down and do nothing!" one model replied loudly with a laugh.
"Fortunately, we didn't let Yang do the show on the day he came, otherwise we probably wouldn't have finished this swimsuit special this time!" Gilbert Goodman's eyes widened, and he said to Chen Xuan beside him in an exaggerated voice.
"I agree!" Chen Xuan nodded again and again.
"Haha~" The exaggerated performance of the two naturally caused laughter from the models.
"OK," Xiao Yao waited for everyone's laughter to pause, and continued to introduce the following performance tracks, "The next song is the second English song I have written in my life, the song is called "B hat U anna B", and it is for everyone in the scene! I mean, everyone!"
Sitting on the log in front of Xiao Yao are twelve models, but the audience for this performance is not only twelve of them. Xiao Yao said last night that he wanted to thank both the models and the behind-the-scenes staff of the team, so Gilbert Goodman called all the staff of this swimsuit special as well, and everyone enjoyed Xiao Yao's performance at this show.
Due to the filming of the documentary, except for Gilbert Goodman and Chen Xuan, two people who don't mind appearing in the camera, standing behind the models, the other behind-the-scenes personnel are standing slightly further away from the models, so as not to inadvertently appear in the camera lens.
These staff members will not appear in the footage of this section of the documentary, but Xiao Yao can see it. Xiao Yao's last sentence was also said by looking at those people.
Also due to the filming of the documentary, Xiao Yao just looked at the staff to introduce the songs, and did not say it too bluntly. For more expressions, Xiao Yao put it in the performance of the second song.
"B hat U anna B" is an inspirational song by the Swedish singer Darin Zanyar in the previous life, and a big feature is that the lyrics contain a lot of occupations. Xiao Yao's first performance of this song was the opening performance of being a guest in "The Goddess's Fashion Costume". At that time, he changed the president in the original lyrics to a designer for the sake of the show. In tonight's performance, Xiao Yao also revised the lyrics again. Makeup artist, stylist, cameraman, security guard, and other professions in the shooting team replaced the original lyrics of police, doctor, firefighter, postman, and other professions.
Although it is just an inspirational song that sounds very ordinary, everyone is still very happy to listen to it because of the overall rhythm of the song. What's more, when they heard the lyrics mention their profession, the staff were also very excited. After the performance of this song, the applause and cheers from the audience were significantly louder than at the end of the first song. Among them, it is natural that the staff outside the camera lens have made a great contribution.
