Chapter 542: The money was not spent in vain
When Xiao Yao helped Xiang An'an check and chatted with Zoe, Abby and others, the second unit of the Eva show had already begun. Several of them were able to have free time to chat, also because the catwalks and performances of the second and third units did not involve several of them. Xiao Yao's second appearance performance was in the last unit, Xiang An'an's scheduled next catwalk was in the fifth unit, and Zoe and Abby's next appearance was in the fourth unit. They are at least two units away from their next appearance.
This free time is not very long, though. The performance of a unit is almost the time of a song, that is, the time of a song, plus the short interval between the units, it will not exceed five minutes, so after Xiao Yao checked Xiang An'an, he didn't talk to Abby and Zoe much, and quickly entered his lounge to prepare for the next performance. In the next performance, Xiao Yao needs to change his costumes and styling.
According to the arrangement of the Eva show, the second unit and the last fifth unit have no guest performers. Xiao Yao's performance was in the first and sixth units, Jamie Smith's performance was in the third unit, and Liang Xueying's performance was arranged in the fourth unit. However, because of some special arrangements, Xiao Yao also needed to appear backstage at the end of Liang Xueying's performance, so after changing his costumes and styling, Xiao Yao ran out of his lounge and came to the waiting area backstage.
When Xiao Yao reappeared in the backstage waiting area, the third unit of the Eva show was just over. Xiao Yao saw Jamie Smith returning from the stage near the entrance of the passage, and also saw Liang Xueying who was about to appear.
"Great show!" Xiao Yao smiled and gave a thumbs up to Jamie Smith as he returned backstage.
Like many recorded programs in China, the Eva Show was filmed and recorded by NBC's film crew. Although there is no live broadcast, there are televisions backstage and in the performers' lounge where you can see the live performances on stage filmed by the film crew. When Xiao Yao was changing clothes and styling in the lounge, he also saw the black singer's wonderful performance on stage through the TV in the lounge.
"Thank you!" Jamie Smith smiled and stretched out his fist to touch Xiao Yao, "Your performance just now was also great, looking forward to your next wonderful performance!"
Jamie Smith is not like Xiao Yao, except for going through the waiting area backstage before and after the appearance, he stays in the lounge at other times, but he also watched Xiao Yao's performance through the TV in the lounge just now.
"I won't let you down!" Xiao Yao smiled confidently.
"I believe it!" Jamie Smith looked at Xiao Yao's performance suit and patted his arm, "I'll take a good look at it in the lounge!" Saying that, Jamie Smith said goodbye to Xiao Yao, quickly walked through the backstage waiting area, and returned to his lounge.
"Shirley, it's time to play!" The live director at the entrance of the passage turned around and shouted Liang Xueying's English name.
"Come on!" Xiao Yao clenched his right hand into a fist in front of his chest, helping Liang Xueying cheer up.
"Don't worry!I will definitely be able to kill the audience in seconds!I won't disappoint this costume you designed for me!" Liang Xueying turned her head and smiled confidently at Xiao Yao, and walked to the stage.
Xiao Yao also immediately retreated to the side, giving up the exit position at the entrance of the passage to the models who were about to appear on the catwalk.
Because he still had work, Xiao Yao did not return to his lounge, but walked to the backstage waiting area, in front of the LCD TV hanging on the wall. In addition to Xiao Yao, there are several models who don't need to appear in this unit and the next unit gathered here to watch the live broadcast on the stage on TV.
Standing on the side of the inside of the passage did not affect the appearance of the models, but there was no way to see the stage from that place. Although it was too late to go back to his lounge to watch the live broadcast and come out when it was almost over, Xiao Yao felt that it was boring to watch the live broadcast in the lounge alone, so it was better to come out and watch it with the models in the waiting area, and there were also cameras from the NBC film crew in the background, maybe he could get a few more shots of his face showing his face backstage in the Eva show broadcast by NBC.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Shirley Leung, please!"
With the sound of narration in Chinese and English, the lights above the stage were lit up, and the fence in the center of the stage slowly rose, and the figures of Liang Xueying and the dancing group behind her appeared in front of the audience.
Liang Xueying's hair was tied into a single ponytail and hung down behind her head, revealing a smooth forehead, and the makeup on her face could give people a sharp feeling. She was wearing a black leather suit. The top is loose and has a row of black leather tassels from the shoulders to the outside of the arms, and two black feather-like ornaments on the back. The leather pants on the lower body are relatively tight, outlining Liang Xueying's beautiful leg lines. Although Liang Xueying's height is not high, her body proportion is good, and the tight leather pants and black high-heeled leather boots on her feet can also give people a feeling of long legs.
Seeing Liang Xueying dressed in such a cool and sexy outfit, there was also a burst of enthusiastic cheers and screams at the scene.
Amid applause and cheers, the sound of violin and piano sounded in the live stereos. Liang Xueying, who was standing at the front, took two steps forward and raised the microphone in her hand to her mouth.
"Hmph~" Liang Xueying tilted her head, chuckled with a slightly contemptuous expression, and then started the monologue at the beginning of the song while taking a light step forward: "After All You Put Me Through, You Think I Despise You, But In The End, I anna Thank You, Cause You Make Me That Much Stronger..."
“So Cool!”
In the second half of the monologue, a close-up of Liang Xueying's face is shown in the TV screen. Looking at Liang Xueying's expression on TV, some of the models who watched the live TV broadcast like Xiao Yao couldn't help but praise.
Xiao Yao couldn't help but smile and nodded. Judging from the pictures on TV, Liang Xueying's performance, at least at the beginning, was better than the performance when she was the opening guest at the "Golden Disc Awards".
“ell I~ Thought I Kne You,Thinking That You ere True~”
After a soft monologue, a deep female voice sounded, and the lights of the scene were brightened violently. Liang Xueying's rich voice and typical European and American singing, coupled with the change of lights on the stage, the scene once again resounded with cheers and screams.
As Liang Xueying's singing part began, a model appeared in the backstage passage, and the catwalk part also began.
After the catwalk began, both the audience and the videographers turned most of their attention to the models on the catwalk. The clothing style displayed in this unit is more gothic and dark, the clothing colors are mainly black and gray, and some of the clothing also uses very individual metal accessories, which is very eye-catching.
However, even if the models and the clothes on the models are very eye-catching, whenever the camera is brought to Liang Xueying performing on stage, she will not be completely ignored, and the attention will always attract people's eyes to stay on her for a short time.
Of course, Liang Xueying's attraction is not only her clothes and performances, but also her interaction with models.
Although this song is accompanied by a professional dance group, it is not a dance music, and Liang Xueying herself does not have many dance moves. Liang Xueying has no musical instruments, holds a wireless microphone with one hand, and has an empty hand, and her movements on the stage are not restricted, so she can naturally interact with the models at will.
In the transition between the two songs, she walked to the side of the middle stage and stretched out her hand to a passing model. The model also smiled and reached out to put it on Liang Xueying's outstretched hand.
"Oh, Ohh~" Liang Xueying hummed the transition passage while holding hands with the model and walking together.
Liang Xueying walked on the edge of the middle performance stage, and the model walked on the peripheral catwalk aisle, because the middle performance stage was higher than the next one, Liang Xueying looked taller than the model. Liang Xueying's pace is maintained very well, her posture of raising her head and chest shows a very strong aura, and she looks taller than the model, so the momentum she shows is even more than that of the model around her.
When I saw Liang Xueying's catwalk, the cheers and screams at the scene were a little louder.
However, this is not the only catwalk in Liang Xueying's performance, nor is it the climax of this performance.
At the end of this unit, when the last model passed by the fixed-point Pose at the front of the stage and began to walk back, Liang Xueying also happened to go back to the back of the performance stage, and at this time, the song still had the last closing paragraph.
“So Thanks For Making Me A Fighter!”
After singing the last line of the penultimate stanza, Liang Xueying turned around, faced directly in front of the stage, and then reached out and pulled behind the collar on the right side.
"Bang~"
The two black feather ornaments on the back of Liang Xueying's clothes spread out to the sides and turned into a pair of black wings.
"Wow~"
Looking at the wings that suddenly appeared behind Liang Xueying, not only the audience at the scene, but even the models watching TV in the backstage waiting area couldn't help but scream.
“Made Me Learn A Little Bit Faster,Made My Skin A Little Bit Thicker,It Makes Me That Much Smarter, So Thanks For Making Me A Fighter!”
At the end of the song, the soundtrack and Liang Xueying's singing volume were reduced, but the applause, cheers and screams of the audience were even louder. Because Liang Xueying, who suddenly spread a pair of wings behind her, walked towards the front of the stage while singing, and no matter from the pace or the walking posture of the whole person, it can be clearly seen that Liang Xueying is also walking at this time, as if she is also a model of Eva.
"Wow~ It's incredible to be able to sing while walking the steps!" exclaimed several models watching the TV.
Although Liang Xueying's steps are not particularly standard in the eyes of those models, at this time, Liang Xueying is not only walking while singing, but also holding a microphone in front of her mouth with one hand, and can only swing with one hand when walking. In this case, the feeling of being able to get out of that kind of model on the catwalk is enough to amaze the models!
When Liang Xueying walked to the front of the stage and stopped, the song happened to be all sung. Liang Xueying lowered her arm holding the microphone, turned sideways to the left and right respectively, made two freeze-frame POSE movements, and finally raised her fist-clenched hands and threw a punch straight forward very coolly.
"Wow~" The screams of the audience immediately reached a peak.
Liang Xueying's fist swing action is only one of the freeze-frame POSE. After doing this action, Liang Xueying did not bow directly to the audience in front of the stage, but turned around in a chic manner and walked back with the same steps.
When Liang Xueying walked to the front of the stage, the song should have been over, but when Liang Xueying made a freeze-frame POSE and walked back, the music on the scene did not disappear. Although Liang Xueying did not continue to sing, the music in the stereo continued. This is a version specially recorded by Xiao Yao for Liang Xueying's performance, and it is not too complicated, that is, the soundtrack of the last paragraph is repeated once.
In the sound of music, Liang Xueying did not stop and turn around to greet the audience when she walked to the back of the performance stage, but walked into the back passage without stopping as a model, and returned directly to the backstage.
As Liang Xueying's figure disappeared at the entrance of the passage, the music on the scene disappeared, and the lights on the stage dimmed again. Amid the cheers and screams of the audience again, the performance of this unit ended.
"Great!"
"Incredible!"
When Liang Xueying entered the backstage waiting area from the entrance of the passage, several models standing at the door greeted Liang Xueying and gave Liang Xueying a big hug and shouted excitedly.
Although these models are not as familiar with Liang Xueying as Xiao Yao, they only met Liang Xueying during rehearsals and had some simple contact and communication, but most of these models have relatively lively personalities, and they are not completely unknown to Liang Xueying.
"Uh~ Thank you!" Liang Xueying was a little flattered when she saw the beautiful supermodel who rushed up excitedly, but she quickly adjusted and hugged a few people one by one to thank her.
"Shirley, great performance!" The director of the scene also praised Liang Xueying with a thumbs up, and then pointed to the wings behind her and said, "But, your wings?"
The space in the backstage is not very spacious, and the models who appeared in the next unit have basically changed their clothes, and some of the models also have wings. And the wings behind Liang Xueying are wider than the wings on most models, so if you go in like this, it is easy to cause bumps.
"Understood, wait a minute!" Liang Xueying understood what the director meant, nodded with a smile, and immediately raised her neck and shouted loudly into the backstage, "Xiao Yao!"
"It's coming!" Xiao Yao squeezed over with a smile.
Towards the end of the performance, Xiao Yao had already come to the entrance of the passage and waited for Liang Xueying. However, seeing that several models excitedly stepped forward to send congratulatory hugs to Liang Xueying, Xiao Yao gave way to the side slightly. His position was not far from Liang Xueying, but several of the models who were about to appear at the entrance of the passage had wings on their backs and blocked him.
Xiao Yao walked behind Liang Xueying, reached out and pounded on the two wings a few times, then retracted Liang Xueying's two wings and restored them to the shape of shrinking into a ball hanging behind her back.
"Alright!" Xiao Yao smiled and clapped his hands.
Seeing this scene, several models who were about to appear at the entrance of the passage showed surprised expressions.
"Hey, Shirley, is Jan your costume assistant?" said one of the models laughing after the surprise.
"Sort of!" Liang Xueying smiled and nodded, "This costume was designed and produced by Yang for me, and he is more proficient in operation and much better than my costume assistant, so I asked him to make a cameo appearance as my costume assistant." ”
"These wings were designed and made by Young?"
"Will Jan design and make costumes?"
Several models asked in surprise.
"Yes," Liang Xueying said with a smile, "and he can do much more than just design and make costumes, my whole show was designed by Yang for me!"
"Really?" the models all looked at Xiao Yao with incredulous expressions.
"How is it? Your money wasn't spent in vain, right?" Xiao Yao didn't answer the models, but asked Liang Xueying with a smile.
