Chapter 543: The Origin of the Wings

Although Xiao Yao did not answer directly, what he said to Liang Xueying was undoubtedly an acknowledgement. But before the models could say anything to Xiao Yao, the director next to them interrupted everyone.

"It's ready to play!" the live director reminded several of the models.

There are no performers in the fifth unit, and there is no live band on the stage when Liang Xueying performs in the fourth unit, only she and some dance groups, so there is no need to clean up the instruments and carry them. The staff only needed to clean up the few feathers that fell on the stage when the wings on Liang Xueying's back were spread. The whole preparation is relatively simple, and the interval is relatively short.

Although the on-site director was also surprised by Liang Xueying's statement that Xiao Yao helped her design the whole performance, when the sound of the staff preparing the stage came from the headphones, he still had to turn his attention back to the next catwalk performance.

Like the live director, there are also those models. It is curious that Xiao Yao helped Liang Xueying design a stage performance, and the catwalk is work, obviously the latter is more important. So as soon as the on-site director shouted, everyone gathered their minds and focused on the next catwalk, and didn't care about talking to Xiao Yao anymore.

Hearing that the catwalk of the next unit was about to start, Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying also quickly left the passage. After walking through the backstage waiting area together, the two returned to their own break rooms.

"Sister Ying, your performance just now is really amazing!" After entering the lounge, Liang Xueying's real assistant greeted her, and helped her take off the leather coat with wings on her body while talking excitedly.

Of course, Liang Xueying can also take off his coat when he is backstage, but if the wings are not put away, whether he wears them on his body or holds them in his hands, it is quite in the way, so he needs Xiao Yao to help him put away his wings at the entrance of the passage.

"Really?" Liang Xueying smiled, sat down on the sofa in the lounge, and took a sip of water from her glass.

Looking at the picture on the TV in front of her with only models and no performers, Liang Xueying's thoughts couldn't help but drift to a few days ago.

After making that call to Xiao Yao, Liang Xueying flew to Shencheng with her team the next day. In order to avoid trouble Xiao Yao going to the airport to pick up the airport, Liang Xueying only told Xiao Yao on the phone the day before that she would come to Shencheng the next day, but did not tell Xiao Yao the specific flight and arrival time. After arriving in Shencheng, Liang Xueying took people to check in to the hotel booked in advance. After settling the luggage, Liang Xueying called Xiao Yao again, confirmed that Xiao Yao was waiting for them, and then took someone directly to Yin Xi's studio.

After meeting and greeting, Xiao Yao asked Pei Minyi to take the rest of Liang Xueying's team to the rehearsal room of the recording studio first, and he himself took Liang Xueying to his office and talked to Liang Xueying about money. Of course, Xiao Yao asked Liang Xueying for money. Whether Xiao Yao said that he wanted to collect the rent of the rehearsal room or Liang Xueying scolded her for being a fan of small wealth, it was all a joke. What Xiao Yao didn't expect was that Liang Xueying actually made a sum of money.

"Sister Xueying, our finance said that we received a sum of money from your company, do you really treat me as a small fortune fan?" After pulling Liang Xueying into the office, Xiao Yao asked Liang Xueying directly.

After going to work today, the financial department in charge of the co-brand found that there was an extra amount of money from Liang Xueying's company in the account. Since the common brand has no business dealings with Liang Xueying's company, it naturally has no accounts receivable from that company, so after the finance found out about the payment, he immediately told Fang Yi, and Fang Yi also told Xiao Yao as soon as possible.

"Aren't you?" Liang Xueying smiled, "Who called yesterday and said that they would have to pay for using the rehearsal room?"

"Can't I hear that joking?" Xiao Yao said, "Do you really pay the rent?"

"I'm not kidding. Liang Xueying said, "And that's not all the rent for using the rehearsal room this time, but also the costumes from last time!"

"Didn't I say that the costumes were given to you last time?" Xiao Yao said, "I have helped others design more costumes, but they have all been given away, and the money has never been confiscated!"

"It's no problem for you to give it to me, but that set of clothes is not all your credit!" Liang Xueying said, "Although you designed it, you didn't do it alone, and there was also the hard work of other employees." Especially for those lights on clothes, the cost and labor cost of production and installation are not small, right? Since your brand company has a custom clothing business, then I have no problem paying according to the business rules. My money was transferred to your company account, not to you personally. ”

"This, I'm the boss, what's the difference?" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly.

"Of course there is a difference!" Liang Xueying said, "Call your company, and the employees of your company can also enjoy the performance dividend!"

"This..."Xiao Yao said helplessly.

"Okay," Liang Xueying interrupted Xiao Yao, "The money has already been called, you won't think about returning it again, right? Compared to the first place you helped me win on "Singer", this money is nothing at all." If you really feel embarrassed, then help me with some more comments and ideas. This is my first time performing at a world-class fashion show like the Eva Show, and you've been to the Eva Show a few times, so I'm sure I have more experience than I do!"

"This, okay!" Seeing that Liang Xueying had already said this, Xiao Yao could only nod in agreement.

Since he wanted Xiao Yao to help him come up with an idea, he didn't just arrange it. In the first rehearsal in the rehearsal room, Liang Xueying and the dance group did the styling and makeup of the performance, put on the costumes of the performance, and gave Xiao Yao a real rehearsal with makeup.

"How is it?" After the rehearsal with makeup, Liang Xueying asked Xiao Yaodao.

"The singing skills are still as impeccable as ever," Xiao Yao nodded and said bluntly, "But other than that, all other aspects are ~ not good!"

"What?" said Liang Xueying in surprise. Although it was said that Xiao Yao was asked to give some opinions, she didn't expect that the performance she had planned with a professional team would be useless in Xiao Yao's eyes except for her own singing.

"Let's talk about your style first," Xiao Yao looked at Liang Xueying's hair and said, "Although your voice and singing voice are very European and American, your appearance and appearance are not European and American at all, this light brown big wavy curly hairstyle is really not suitable for you!"

"Really?" Liang Xueying touched her loose curly hair.

"And then the costumes~" Xiao Yao's gaze moved down to Liang Xueying's body.

"There is also a problem with the clothing? This is~" Liang Xueying said with some disbelief.

"I know," Xiao Yao interrupted, "the cost of haute couture based on the new style of a world-renowned fashion brand this autumn will not be less than 800,000, right?"

"You know that?" said Liang Xueying.

"Of course," Xiao Yao smirked, "I'm a photographer, and we're a fashion brand here, and there are a bunch of fashion designers in the company." Even if I haven't been to the four major fashion weeks and any of the big names this year, it's not hard to learn about the latest fashion news. ”

"Although this brand's haute couture is in line with your value," Xiao Yao said, pointing to the outfit on her body, "but this plush outfit is the same as the big light brown waves on your head, it is not suitable for you! If you are really reluctant to use this expensive set of clothes as casual clothes, wear it at your own concert, the media will not compare you with other people on the same stage, and there should be fewer people complaining. ”

"This~" Liang Xueying looked down at the clothes on her body, "Is it so bad?"

"And the shoes on your feet!" Xiao Yao continued without hesitation, "There is nothing wrong with the style, but is it necessary for you to wear shoes with such high heels?"

"What's wrong with the heel height?" Liang Xueying said, "I'm going to be on the same stage with Eva's supermodels, this height can't be too different, right?"

"Do you want to compare the height with Eva's supermodels?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Sister, you are only 1.62 meters, and the shortest of Eva's supermodels are 1.76 meters, a difference of 145 or 5 centimeters." And the supermodels on the Eva show also wear high heels, if you want to look about the same height as them, you have to wear shoes that are 30 centimeters high. That's not heels, it's stilts!"

"Hey!" Liang Xueying shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Okay," Xiao Yao said, "Actually, it's not a problem to wear high heels, but there is no need to be so tall." Also, although you also danced during the show, you are a powerful singer after all, not the kind of singer who sings and dances. In terms of dance, just leave it to the dance group, it can be seen that they are professional dancers, and there is no problem in raising the difficulty a little more. And you don't have to dance the same moves as them, or even don't dance, because people don't watch you dance anyway. You just walk around the stage and interact with the models on the catwalk, which is better than dancing!"

At this point, there is finally a sentence that sounds like advice. Liang Xueying said, "But you said so many questions, just this one suggestion?"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yao asked.

"You have raised a problem, and you have to come up with a solution!" Liang Xueying said, "The hairstyle and clothing are not suitable, so what should I change it to?"

"Are you relying on me again?" Xiao Yao said amusedly.

"Who asked you to find a bunch of faults for me? I don't have any confidence at all, who will I look for if I don't look for you?" Liang Xueying said.

"Okay," Xiao Yao thought for a moment and nodded, "Anyway, the money you paid is far more than the cost of that dress last time and the rent of the rehearsal room combined." The extra money will not be refunded, just when you spend money to ask our company to help you do the image design again, I will complete it!"

"Really?" Liang Xueying said happily, "Don't talk about returning the money, if you really help me do the performance design again, I will have no problem adding money!"

"You don't need to add any more money, just see that you are not satisfied. Xiao Yao smiled.

"Then when will you be able to design it?" Liang Xueying said, "I don't want to rush you, but now there are only a few days before the Eva show, and I still have to rehearse!"

"I want to think about it!" Xiao Yao tapped his fingers on his chin as he lowered his head in thought.

Thinking of LadyGaga's performance at the Victoria's Secret show in his previous life, Xiao Yao's mind flashed with inspiration, and he said to Liang Xueying with a smile: "I have a plan!"

"So fast?" Liang Xueying said in surprise.

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "aren't you worried about being compared to Eva's supermodel?

"Have Eva's angel addiction?" Liang Xueying said, "You mean to let me walk the catwalk with Eva's supermodel on stage?"

"Of course, it's not good to take steps on the stage, but you're a singer, a guest performer, and not a model, and everyone won't compare you with the real Eva supermodel, so we just need to be surprising!" Xiao Yao said, "What is the biggest feature of Eva's supermodel catwalk? As for the steps, they don't need to be too standard, they just seem to mean that!"

"You asked me to perform in a costume with a pair of wings?" Liang Xueying said in surprise.

"Well, if you come out with a pair of wings on your back, the purpose is too obvious, and it doesn't have a surprise effect. And it seems a bit silly to carry a pair of wings on your back from beginning to end on stage," Xiao Yao said, "so this wing can be folded, put it away first, and when the models are all over the catwalk, you can open the wings on the stage, and finally have a catwalk." This will not distract the audience from the catwalk models in the previous performance, but also bring a small climax to the scene unexpectedly at the end, and Eva should not have a problem with this arrangement. ”

"Folded wings that can be put away, and you still have such things?" Liang Xueying said.

"I don't have it now, but I can do it!" Xiao Yao said, "Rick of our company who makes the lighting system used to be a prop master in the United States, and I worked with him to make the lighting system." If we work together, we should be able to create a pair of retractable wings that can be attached to clothing. ”

"Of course, this one will take time, and I'll get it out with Rick as soon as possible. Xiao Yao continued, "Before the clothes are ready, you should learn to walk the steps first! I asked Sister Xi to teach you, she is also Eva Angel, definitely a god in the modeling industry, and she will not participate in the Eva show this year." Let her teach you, it shouldn't be a problem to learn how to do it in a few days!"

"Okay, I believe you! I'll listen to you!" Liang Xueying imagined the scene of herself walking on the Eva show with her wings on her back, and nodded her head without hesitation.

Faced with Xiao Yao's request to guide Liang Xueying to take steps, Yin Xi happily agreed. Yin Xi's studio has its own venue for a fashion show, and the location of the practice is not a problem at all. In the next few days, Liang Xueying spent a small amount of time practicing songs, and most of the time was spent learning steps with Yin Xi.

Three days later, Xiao Yao brought the finished blouse with retractable wings to Liang Xueying. There is a cable behind the collar near the collarbone at the front of the leather jacket, and the wings can be opened by pulling it down. And when it comes to putting it away, just bend a few joint points on the skeleton of the wings covered with feathers.

Because the wings were relatively large when they were deployed, Liang Xueying asked the assistant to enter the backstage waiting area of the Eva show, so after the performance, the work of putting away the wings was handed over to Xiao Yao, who was also a guest performer. As a designer and maker of clothes, Xiao Yao is more skilled than Liang Xueying's assistant.

After rehearsing a few times, Liang Xueying was full of confidence in this performance, and today's actual performance, the live effect was even better than Liang Xueying's expectations.

"Sister Ying, the fifth unit is over, and the last unit should be Xiao Yao again!"

The words of the assistant next to her pulled Liang Xueying's thoughts back. Liang Xueying followed the direction of the assistant's finger and looked at the TV in front of her. At this point, it was pitch black on the TV, apparently the fifth unit was over.

"Hmm!" Liang Xueying nodded, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved, and she thought in her heart, "Compared to my wings, his finale performance is not bad at all, and it will also surprise the ground!"
