Chapter 539: The show begins

"I'll go, what the hell is this?"

"Eva Angel actually speaks Chinese?"

"It's just a sentence of Chinese! It shouldn't be difficult to learn, right?"

"What does that fist holding posture mean? Has she ever learned Chinese martial arts?"

As soon as this peculiar greeting of the blonde white model came out, countless Chinese viewers who watched the live broadcast in front of the computer were dumbfounded, and the comment area and barrage area under the live broadcast interface were boiling.

Also a little dumbfounded was the host Lu Ke next to the model at the scene. Lu Ke asked the model next to him with a surprised face: "Do you speak Chinese? And this posture, did Xiao Yao teach you? Or did you learn it from other Chinese people after coming to China this time?"

Even if the white model spoke Chinese, Lu Ke didn't think she could communicate in Chinese, so Lu Ke still used English for this question.

"I don't have such a stupid student!" Lu Ke's voice fell, and a Chinese voice next to him sounded.

Lu Ke looked back and found that Xiao Yao had come out of nowhere. The Chinese sentence just now was obviously said by Xiao Yao.

"I'll go, Xiao Yao!"

"Why is he backstage?"

"He's a guest performer, why can't he be backstage!"

"Isn't it true that the performers will not enter the waiting area until after the show starts, before they go on stage?

The cameraman moved the camera in the direction where the sound came from, and the netizens who watched the live broadcast also recognized the young man in a black suit as Xiao Yao at a glance, and immediately discussed it in the comments and barrage.

"What did you say?" the model said as she looked at Xiao Yao. Looking at her expression, she was not surprised that Xiao Yao appeared here at this time, but she didn't understand the Chinese that Xiao Yao said.

"I said you forgot how Master Hong taught you!" Xiao Yao said with a smile in English, "When you salute like this, you should first tell the other party who you are!"

"Oh, I forgot!" the model showed a sudden expression, and said in Chinese to the camera with his fist again, "In Zoe Hunter, please advise!"

"Down?"

"She still understands the word!"

“666~”

Haiyan Video's thematic webcast room boiled again.

"Please advise!" Lu Ke also learned to give Zoe a fist and saluted her back, and replied in Chinese.

"I didn't expect you to not only greet in Chinese, but also understand the traditional way of greeting in Chinese martial arts, I think the audience in China must like you very much!" Lu Ke gave another thumbs up and said to Zoe in English.

"Thank you!" Zoe said with a smug smile.

"But," Lu Ke continued, "I'm curious, who is Master Hong that Yang is talking about, and why did he teach you this?"

"A few days ago, Jan took us to experience the charm of Chinese kung fu, and we also learned some martial arts moves. "Zoe put his hands into palms, one after the other, and then reverted to the fist salute," Master Hong is the teacher who taught us Chinese kung fu, and he said that this is the etiquette before competing with people in Chinese martial arts. ”

"Learn Chinese kung fu, you took them to play again?" Lu Ke looked at Xiao Yao next to him.

"What's playing, that's work!" Xiao Yao corrected with a smile, "When the Eva show was played, in addition to the catwalk, there were also some behind-the-scenes work and daily footage of the models. Their martial arts learning is one of the daily tidbits this year, and Zoe is one of the four models who have gone to learn it, all of which were captured by cameras. ”

This time, Lu Ke and Xiao Yao both communicated in English, and Zoe heard them talk about this, so he continued: "Yang made a copy of the material for us to learn martial arts, and made the editing and soundtrack himself, BC's Eva Show is edited and broadcast, regardless of whether there will be content about me learning martial arts in it, after the Eva Show is broadcast, I will upload those videos to my own online social media account, please pay more attention!"

"Really, we're looking forward to it!" Lu Ke said with a smile.

Lu Ke briefly translated Zoe's words, and then called on netizens to follow Zoe's social media accounts, and then turned to Xiao Yao.

"Why are you here?" Lu Ke said curiously, "Didn't the performers arrive until before the show started?"

Lu Ke originally thought that Xiao Yao would not be able to see Xiao Yao until the performance began and the backstage was cleared to let him leave.

The backstage of the show is not like the backstage of other TV shows or performances, where the models are gathered together to make up and change their costumes to prepare, and the number of people is relatively large and relatively chaotic. In order to prevent the performers and their teams from interfering with the models' preparations, they all have separate lounges and dressing rooms. Normally, the performers will only appear briefly in the backstage waiting area that connects to the exit lanes before or after the stage.

"I'm different from others!" Xiao Yao smiled, "I am familiar with the backstage of fashion shows, and it will not affect the work of models and other staff members here." I didn't have much to do after I got dressed and changed, so I just came here to shop. ”

"In fact, not only does he not affect us, he can help us. "As long as he doesn't have a camera in his hand, we're all welcome to show him up here." ”

"Camera?" Lu Ke was a little strange again.

"That was a long, long time ago," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "It was more than ten years ago, and I will tell you when I have a chance." ”

Although Xiao Yao has been backstage to many fashion shows and watched the Eva show several times, this is the second time he has entered the backstage of the Eva show. The last time I entered the backstage of the Eva show was when Xiao Yao was ten years old, and that time I was originally invited to the backstage of the Eva show to take photos of the models, but because I temporarily went on stage to help the band save the scene, the backstage photo of the models was canceled. Later, although Xiao Yao participated in the Eva show several times, he was either an audience or a live photographer, and he never entered the backstage of the Eva show again.

As a guest performer this time, Xiao Yao has the opportunity to appear backstage, although he has to perform twice on stage, but because the performance is one end and one end, the interval between them is very long, Xiao Yao does not need to change his hairstyle, he only needs to change his clothes, and there is still a lot of free time in the middle, so he proposed to Elbert to take the camera into the backstage to take photos of the models, and wanted to complete the unfinished thing more than ten years ago.

However, unlike the one more than ten years ago, Xiao Yao's suggestion was strongly opposed by most models. On the one hand, Xiao Yao is now an adult, and he is no longer the child he was back then. On the other hand, through the contact during the swimsuit special, the models knew that Xiao Yao really didn't mind making the models look ugly, and God knows what photos he would take to make them "ruined".

Since it was not a pre-arranged event, Eva did not make preparations in this regard, and since the models were all against it, Elbert and Xiao Yao did not insist, so they gave up.

Lu Ke chatted with Zoe for a few more words, then thanked and said goodbye to her, and was ready to talk to other models.

"Let's go!" When saying goodbye to Zoe, Lu Ke took Xiao Yao's arm and said.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yao said.

"I'm going to interview a few more models!" Lu Ke said.

"Then why are you going to interview, why are you pulling me?" Xiao Yao said strangely.

"You know them well, help me make an introduction!" Lu Ke said.

"You are such a professional host, Eva has said hello to all the models, no one will refuse your interview, you don't need me to introduce you at all!" Xiao Yao refused, "When I didn't come just now, you weren't interviewing Zoe!"

"But with you together, I think it's much better to talk to them!" Lu Ke said.

"Sister Ke, Haiyan Video didn't ask me to be the host, the interview is your job, not mine!" Xiao Yao broke free of Lu Ke's hand and said, "I have other things!"

"Cut, if they ask you to be the host, will you agree?" Lu Ke pouted, "Aren't you hanging out here? What's the matter? Isn't it okay to do my sister a little favor?" I'm still your fan!"

"Fans?" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "Are there any fans who force idols to help with their work?"

"Aren't all your fans like that?" Lu Ke said.

"Who said that?" Xiao Yao said speechlessly.

"Boss, Miss Liang said please come over!" At this time, Pei Minyi walked over and said.

"Oh!" Xiao Yao turned to Lu Ke and said, "Sister Ke, look?"

"Miss Liang, Liang Xueying?" Lu Ke said, "She wants you to go to her lounge?"

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "I designed her performance costume for her, maybe there are still some questions about this!"

"The costume you designed for her?" Lu Ke's eyes lit up and asked, "Can I go with me?"

According to the agreement between Eva and Haiyan Video, the scope of Eva's authorization for Haiyan Video to conduct live webcasts is the makeup area and waiting area of the models. The lounge of the performers is not within the scope of the live broadcast area authorized by Eva, but there is no rule that they must not go to the dressing area, if Xiao Yao goes with him, I believe Eva should not say anything.

"This, it doesn't seem that the interview area authorized by Eva for Haiyan Video does not include the lounge of the performers, right?" Xiao Yao said with some embarrassment.

"Do you know this?" Lu Ke was a little surprised, but still insisted, "But they didn't say that they must not go! If you take me to the lounge of our Chinese performer Liang Xueying, whether it is Eva's side or Liang Xueying's side, I shouldn't have much opinion, right? I would like to see in advance what kind of performance costume you designed for Liang Xueying, and the kind with lights like on "Singer"?"

"No!" Xiao Yao shook his head, "Her costume is more special! If you really want to see it, I can take you to see it, but the cameraman can't go in, and after you come out, you can't tell the netizens!"

"Huh?" Lu Ke hesitated.

Her job is to help Haiyan Video do live webcasts, but Haiyan Video does not stipulate her specific interview subjects, and she is free to play. It's okay to take the cameraman to interview the performer Liang Xueying, but throwing the cameraman is equivalent to interrupting the live webcast, which conflicts with her work and violates her professional ethics.

"That's it," Xiao Yao seemed to see Lu Ke's thoughts, and said with a smile, "I can give you some hints." The models I've been in contact with the most these days are the four who shoot daily tidbits. In addition to Zoe's love of kung fu, Sally is a foodie and likes Chinese food, and when she takes her to the City God Temple for snacks, she can hardly even take a step! Carly is very interested in the costumes of ethnic minorities in China, especially the big silver horn of the Miao people, and she can't even close her mouth when she sees it! Rosa has a soft spot for Chinese barbecue. These are all related to Huaxia, you can talk to them about these topics, the effect will definitely be good, and it is guaranteed that it will not be cold!"

"In addition," Xiao Yao continued, "Abby likes to take pictures, Tracey likes yoga, if you talk to them about this, they will definitely be happy! These are all six angels, and if you talk to other models casually, you can easily hold on until the big show begins." These interviews are rich enough to make you do a great job in this webcast!"

"This~ Okay!" Lu Ke patted Xiao Yao's shoulder and said, "I knew that with you, my live broadcast this time will definitely have a lot of highlights!"

"Well, I wish you a smooth interview, I'll go to Sister Xueying's place to have a look!" Xiao Yao waved his hand to Lu Ke and walked quickly towards Liang Xueying's lounge.

When Xiao Yao came out of Liang Xueying's lounge and returned to the backstage waiting area, Lu Ke and the cameraman had already left the backstage. Because at this time, the big show is about to start. Xiao Yao sneaked a glance out from the exit of the stage, even though the lights in the audience and above the stage were very dim, he could feel that the audience was already full.

This year's Eva Show stage is also different from previous years, it is not a T-shaped stage that is wider than the regular catwalk, there are almost no short sides, and the long side close to the audience is not only wider than previous Eva Shows, but the front end is not flat, but a triangle that resembles an arrow. Most of the area in the middle of the stage is slightly higher than the surrounding area, serving as a stage for the performers, and a little lower around the area is the catwalk passage for the models.

This design also means that on the catwalk route of the models, this year's models do not walk directly back and forth from the middle of the stage, but take a walking route similar to a U-shape. They will come out of the stage from one side of the stage, take a straight line and a diagonal line to the front of the stage to pose, and then take a diagonal line and a straight line back from the other side of the stage. Such a catwalk route can also allow two models to appear from both sides at the same time, pose together at the front end, and then stagger through.

In fact, one of the units of this year's Eva show did have two models in a group, appearing at the same time, staggered in front of the stage. Such a catwalk method was also used for the first time on the Eva show.

At eight o'clock in the evening, under the command of the on-site director, Xiao Yao walked briskly onto the stage and sat down by a black piano.

There is a fence connected on three sides on the stage in the guest performance area in the center of the stage, blocking the sight of the audience in the three directions, and the scene is dimly lit, and the scene of Xiao Yao's early appearance is invisible to the audience.

"The guests are in place! The show begins!" After seeing Xiao Yao sit down, the director of the scene commanded through the headset.

"Welcome to the 2019 Eva Fashion Show!"

An English narrator sounded in the sound of the scene, and a three-sided fence around the central guest performance stage slowly rose up on the stage.

As the voice of the narrator and the rise of the stage fence, the audience cheered excitedly, mixed with a lot of whistles.

Once the fence is fully raised, the lights above the stage come on. Xiao Yao on the stage appeared in front of the audience with a black grand piano. The cheers of the audience rang out a little more.

Xiao Yao's fingers on the piano keys were pressed, and at the same time as the piano sounded, the brightness of the lights suddenly increased a lot. In the back passage, a model with wings on its back appeared in the audience's sight.

This fashion show held in China for the first time has officially begun!
