"Young, you're so good, come down, let's play!" Will Foster said as he pulled Xiao Yao's arm.

One of the people who stood up on the bench for the Eastern Celebrity Team was Xiao Yao's teammate in last year's Masters game, Will Foster. The two communicated a lot during the competition last year, so they are relatively familiar. And Will Foster is a comedian, his personality is very lively, and he has a strong sense of entertainment, and he is the one who takes the lead at this time.

"No, no, no," Xiao Yao shrank back in his seat and waved his hand, and the other hand held the collar of his clothes and gestured, "I'm not a team member!"

The pull between the two appeared on the big screen at the scene, which caused laughter from the audience.

"Di~" The referee standing at the sideline blew another whistle, then waved to the player who picked up the basketball under the basket and asked for the ball, and signaled the Western Celebrities to send someone over to the sideline to send the sideline ball.

The Celebrity is an exhibition match, and I don't mind the stars playing and acting, but the game is still ongoing, and there are limits to this off-court tidbit. After the referee blew the whistle, the people on the bench of the Eastern Celebrity Team let go of Xiao Yao and sat down again, and everyone also paid attention back to the court.

Just now, the players of the Eastern Celebrity Team passed the ball out of the sideline, and it happened to fall into the hands of Xiao Yao in the audience, Xiao Yao stood in the audience and threw a super long-distance three-pointer, but he didn't expect it to score. As the commentary of the game, Li Jun also cooperated with the broadcast screen to explain the situation to the Chinese audience.

"No, three points, it's four points!" Zhang Yuan corrected with a smile, "The place where Xiao Yao stood just now was farther away than the four-point line on the field, and Xiao Yao himself made a four-point gesture. ”

"Yes, but unfortunately, the referee waved his hand and didn't remember the score!" Li Jun smiled.

"Of course, the goals scored by the crowd will certainly not be counted on the heads of the Eastern team. Zhang Yuan said, "But I have to say, Xiao Yao was quite amazing just now, the audience gave him applause and cheers, and someone on the bench of the Eastern Army even pointed to the court and pulled Xiao Yao down, looking at Foster's meaning, as if he was saying to Xiao Yao, buddy, you are amazing, you are on!"

"I don't know if Xiao Yao will really change his jersey and play for a while," Li Jun said, "That's interesting!"

"Xiao Yao is waving his hand and pulling his clothes again, as if he is not a player, so he won't play!" Zhang Yuan looked at the broadcast screen and said, "It's a pity." In fact, if Xiao Yao really wants to play, I think the organizer should agree to him joining temporarily, after all, he is one of last year's MVPs, not only has good playing skills, but also plays very ornamentally, and his popularity on this occasion is very high!"

But even if Xiao Yao doesn't play, the performance just now is enough to attract attention. Li Jun smiled, "Standing in the audience, you can shoot the basketball into the hoop, and you can make a serious gesture of celebration." I didn't expect Xiao Yao to be so good at stealing the show when he sat in the audience!"

This shows that Xiao Yao's mentality is good, and he has a strong desire for expression and entertainment spirit, which is very suitable for such an exhibition match atmosphere. Zhang Yuan said, "Xiao Yao is the halftime performer of today's game. I'm excited to see what his halftime performance will look like. ”

"I heard that Xiao Yao is performing a rock song with the band this time. Li Jun said, "Rock songs are very suitable for today's atmosphere, and the scene should be blown up! ”

"Okay, the referee whistled to signal the Western Celebrity Team to send a sideline ball, the game resumed, let's watch the game!" Zhang Yuan saw the broadcast screen and cut back to the court, and also ended the topic about Xiao Yao.

"Thank you!" Seeing the screen cut back to the court, Sarmien Smith tilted his head in Xiao Yao's direction and whispered.

Although everyone's attention on the scene was on Xiao Yao's ultra-long shot just now, Sarmyon Smith clearly knew that Xiao Yao actually helped him stop the basketball that smashed into him just now, and what he cared about the most in his heart was this. It's just that Xiao Yao's lens has always been on the big screen at the scene just now, and she was embarrassed to say anything, and she didn't thank Xiao Yao until the camera moved away.

"It's nothing," Xiao Yao smiled indifferently, "just gave me a rare opportunity to perform!"

"If you really want to perform, why don't you go down to play as a player?" Samion glanced at Xiao Yao.

"I want a halftime show!" Xiao Yao said.

"You can play and perform at the same time. Sarsion said, "Don't talk about physical strength, that's what you did last year!"

"Uh~" Xiao Yao choked for a moment, and finally said helplessly, "I was alone last year, and I am not afraid of smashing the performance, but this year I am with you, and I don't want you to lose face with me." ”

"You~" Samian glanced at Xiao Yao and stopped talking.

This episode of Xiao Yao's shot from the audience occurred about five minutes into the second quarter of the game. After continuing to watch for two minutes, the on-site staff walked up to them and quietly reminded Xiao Yao to quietly leave the venue with the rest of the band and went to the locker room to change clothes and prepare for the halftime performance.

By the time Xiao Yao and the others changed their clothes and stood at the entrance of the stadium in the players' tunnel, the first half of the game had ended, and the first program of the halftime performance had begun.

There was more than one show at halftime, but most of them were traditional performances on the basketball court, such as cheerleaders and mascots, and only one real celebrity guest performance was arranged in the middle.

After a cheerleading dance and a funny performance by a mascot, it was Xiao Yao's turn to play with their band.

After the mascots left the field, the lights above the stadium went out, and the staff quickly pushed a stage into the middle of the stadium.

This time, the band performance was still not performed directly on the wooden floor of the court, but also on a small stage that could be moved. It's just that today is not Valentine's Day, and the stage is not a red heart, but a cool-looking diamond-shaped stage with white on a black background.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Immortals, please!"

With the loud introduction of the live host, the lights above the stadium came back on.

"o~" saw the five-piece band in the center of the court, and there was a huge round of applause and cheers from the audience.

"Good evening, everyone!" Xiao Yao, who was carrying an electric guitar, approached the standing microphone in front of him and greeted the audience with a smile.

Hearing Xiao Yao's voice, the cheers at the scene suddenly rose a few decibels.

"It's My Life for everyone!" Dean also leaned in front of his standing microphone and introduced the performance to the audience.

Although they are both live performances, the Chinese premiere and the American Masters halftime show are different performance occasions, and the live performance of the band's song is also a little different.

When Xiao Yao greeted the audience and Dean introduced the name of the song, Sarmeon, who was sitting behind the drum kit, turned the drum stick on his right hand with a cool expression. When the voices of the two fell, Sarmien took the drum stick that had been rotating between the index and middle fingers of his right hand back in his hand, and struck the hi-hat on the drum kit in front of him to the cheers of the audience.

The so-called cymbal is actually a double-sided cymbal in the drum kit, and its sound is controlled by the foot stepping on the cymbal pedal, but this does not mean that the drum stick cannot make a sound when hit on the cymbal. Sarmien struck the cymbal four times in a row, and after playing a bar rhythm, he struck two toms at the same time as Xiao Yao's electric guitar sound, and began the prelude to the song.

In terms of the style of the song and the meaning of the lyrics, this song "It's My Life" is undoubtedly very suitable for today's occasion. As soon as the band's performance began, the atmosphere immediately warmed up, and many audience members unconsciously raised their hands and stood up.

Unlike Xiao Yao, who sang a new song during the halftime performance of the Masters last year, the song of the "Immortals" band is not a new song, but has been officially released half a month ago. Both the style and the attitude to life shown in the lyrics, this song is very popular with American rock fans.

Speaking of lyrics, there are three names in the original lyrics of this song's previous life that are related to the previous life, but Xiao Yao did not make any changes when he got this world, nor did it cause questions from Dean and others and music fans.

The name "Frankie" in the lyrics refers to the famous American artist Frank Sinatra in his previous life, who was also the idol of many people in the United States in his previous life. However, although there is no Frank Sinatra in this world, there is no shortage of well-known old American artists named Frank.

In the rock music circle, there is a very popular old rock band in the seventies and eighties of the last century whose lead singer name is Frank, and he is also the idol of many rock singers and music fans, including Keith Craig, and everyone takes it for granted that it is the veteran rock singer named Frank Sinclair who said the phrase "DidItMyay". As for Xiao Yao, who is the tail of the post-90s, he wrote an old artist who was popular in the first twenty or thirty years of his birth into the song?

The other two names in the lyrics, "Tommy" and "Gina", are actually characters who appeared in another song by BonJovi in his previous life. Although Xiao Yao didn't bring BonJovi's "Livin' On A Arayer" over as well, the roles played by Xiao Yao and Zhou Jingyi in the parkour movie are exactly called "Tom" and "Gina", anyway, the lyrics are "Never BackedDon", which is also suitable for the two characters who never back down in the movie.

The song is an interlude to the film and came out with the film's first trailer. The first movie trailer has characters calling each other by their names, and the audience can easily find a plausible explanation from the movie, and of course there will be no doubts about it.

Due to the fact that Xiao Yao and several other leading actors were not in the United States before, these two movie songs accounted for a large proportion of the distributor's publicity plan in the promotional activities before the release of the film, especially this song "It's My Life", which the film distributor and Keith Craig's studio have spent a lot of effort to promote. This song has achieved very good results on the Billboard, and it has been ranked in the top 10 in the latest issue, and it is already a very popular song in the United States.

When the band sang the chorus, many audience members excitedly joined the chorus.

A rock song that is perfect for the atmosphere of the scene, and can make the audience stand up from the audience and wave their arms to sing along with the band, the effect and atmosphere of this live performance are naturally not to be said. After the band's performance, there was a huge round of applause and cheers and screams.

After exiting with thanks and screams from the audience, the halftime performance continued. However, the star of the halftime show was only their band's show, and the cheerleading and stunt basketball performances were much more paled in comparison to the performances of the band "Immortals".

After the halftime show was over, the intermission time was almost up. Two minutes later, in the second half of the game, Xiao Yao and others also returned to the audience.

However, this time Xiao Yao did not sit in the audience for long, and a staff member on the scene ran over again, saying that the on-site commentator invited him to the commentary seat.

At last year's Masters, it also happened that the official commentators invited some performers and star players to the commentary table. In fact, it is not an invitation to go up to the commentary game, but a chat with the two official commentators in the nature of an interview. Last year, Brandon Brown, a kid from the Western Celebrities, and Jason Danfur, the star of the Eastern Celebrities, both played on the commentary seats. However, these people are all special and interesting, and they are not the main players of the team, so they will not affect the team's game, so they will be invited.

Although Xiao Yao's performance last year was very good and topical, he was obviously the core player of the team and did not get that opportunity. This year, Xiao Yao is the audience, there is nothing to do after the halftime performance, and he made a big show in the audience in the second quarter before, and the halftime performance is also very exciting, but he has this opportunity.

Xiao Yao had never sat in the live commentary seat on the sidelines of the competition, and of course he was very interested in this, but he came with the whole band today, always thinking about the friends around him, so he didn't directly agree, but asked the staff: "Is it only me who invites me?" Or can I bring someone with me?"

"Well, there are only three pairs of headphones on the commentary seat, and the commentary seat can only seat three people!" replied the staff with a difficult face.

"Yang, go by yourself!" Seeing Xiao Yao's hesitation, Sarmien spoke to Xiao Yao first.

"Yes, such a good opportunity, you can play by yourself, leave us alone!" Dean and the others also said.

"Okay then!" Xiao Yao nodded, stood up, and walked with the staff to the commentary seat.

The official commentators of the game are not the two live commentators of Haiyan Video, but the two full-time basketball commentators of the sports television station in the United States, which is responsible for broadcasting the game. They usually comment on the games of American professional basketball, and they are also two very famous commentators among American basketball fans.

Although these two are not as concerned about the entertainment industry as they are about the sports circle and the basketball circle, they also commented on last year's celebrity game, and they still have a deep impression of Xiao Yao, a Chinese star. Seeing Xiao Yao follow the staff to the back of the commentary seat, both of them also paused to explain and greeted Xiao Yao with a smile.

Although Xiao Yao is Chinese, there is no problem with communicating in English, and there is no stage fright. After smiling and greeting the two commentators, he calmly sat down between the two American commentators and put on headphones connected to the microphone.
