Chapter 950: Ordinary Spectators
"How come? Unlikely, right?" Xiao Yao said strangely, "As far as I know, even if the organizer of the awards ceremony arranges a place for the relatives and friends of the celebrity guests, it is also in the front of the audience, and will not arrange the relatives and friends of the stars with the stars and in the celebrity group, right?"
Under normal circumstances, the positions of stars and ordinary people at the awards ceremony will not be mixed, unless relatives and friends are also stars, even if celebrities bring relatives and friends to participate together, most of them will be arranged separately in different positions, at most, they will give a few shots at that time.
"Normally that's the case, but this year's Billboard Awards was a little different, and they made this special arrangement. Amy Hatton said, "Actually, the main reason is that Rachel Randall wants to bring two four or five-year-old children to the awards ceremony this year, and she doesn't want to be separated from the children, so she asked the organizers to let the children sit next to her." The organizers agreed, and they didn't want to do it for Randle alone, so they offered the same treatment to several other stars who had received multiple nominations. ”
"I see!" Xiao Yao nodded and said in a deep voice, "But I sit in the position of Miss Thompson's family and friends, which is not appropriate, is it? To be honest, even if the problem between me and Miss Thompson has passed, our relationship has not yet reached this level, right?"
Xiao Yao knows that some award ceremonies will prepare some additional positions for relatives and friends of some big-name stars, but those positions are generally for the stars' partners, children, parents and other relatives, even if they are friends, they are at least friends who have known each other for many years and have a very close relationship. Xiao Yao and Nicky Thompson have known each other for less than a month, and even if the problems between the two are solved, they are only acquaintances at most, and they are barely called friends, which is definitely far from the level of that kind of family and friend group.
"It's not quite right. Amy Hatton laughed, "I know you're engaged, and I don't like the media about you and Nicky." ”
There will be no live television coverage of the Billboard Awards, but there will be an edited recording with a camera. As a big-name candidate, Nicky Thompson's position in the audience will definitely have the camera, and it is very likely that Xiao Yao will also be brought to the camera.
At this year's Billboard Awards, the nominees and the non-nominated stars were separated in two different zones. Although Xiao Yao is a star, he has not been nominated, and appearing in the nominated star area can only be to obtain the identity of relatives and friends of the nominated star. Xiao Yao had never cooperated with Nicky Thompson before, nor did he intersect, and suddenly appeared in the position of Nicky Thompson's family and friend group, and there will definitely be discussions and speculations in the media and on the Internet.
"So you know I'm not going to agree..."Xiao Yao got up and said, "Okay, I accept your kindness in wanting to repair the relationship. ”
"Wait," said Amy Hatton, "I'm not done yet. I take into account your concerns, so I have two other proposals. ”
"Other, two?" Xiao Yao sat down again.
"Yes!" said Amy Hatton, "and first, we ask the organizers to invite you to participate. ”
"Now?" Xiao Yao said strangely, "Tomorrow night is the award ceremony, the personnel and process of the award ceremony should have been determined, right?
If you want to talk about the Billboard Awards ceremony, if time permits, Xiao Yao is really interested. It's not that they want to show their faces or anything, the main thing is that most of the performers at the awards ceremony are first-line big names or top cattle in the American music scene, and many of them are very worth watching.
Tomorrow night, Xiao Yao has time. At the beginning, he refused Nicky Thompson, mainly because of the band, if it was invited by the organizer, whether it was simply a guest to watch the ceremony or a solo performer, Xiao Yao was willing.
It's just that Xiao Yao was not invited to this year's Billboard awards ceremony. With Xiao Yao's personality, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to contact his family to ask to go without being nominated.
Tomorrow night is the awards ceremony, and normally speaking, the organizers must have arranged everything, and it is impossible to invite people at this time, unless someone has an accident and can't come.
"Yes!" said Amy Hatton, "and there are some non-nominated guests at the Billboard Awards, and if you are not nominated this year, we can propose to the organizers to invite you to attend as a guest of honor." ”
"This guest has also been scheduled for a long time, right?" Xiao Yao said.
"Yes," said Amy Hatton, "but if there is a temporary absence, there will be a temporary replacement." ”
"Someone can't come?" Xiao Yao said in surprise, "My luck is so good?"
Billboards have a lot of influence in the United States and even around the world, and under normal circumstances, unless something unexpected happens, few people will miss this opportunity to attend the Billboard Awards Ceremony.
'There are no temporary absences, but we can create one more position. Amy Hatton said, "What else does this have to do with us, why did I come to you?"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yao wondered.
"The seats for the guests are separate from those nominated, but the seats are connected. "We can talk to the organizers about removing one of Nicky's family and friends from the group, and then ask them to adjust the seats of the other celebrities so that there is a seat in the guest area." In this way, the organizer can invite you to attend the ceremony as a guest at short notice. ”
"The premise is that you agree to attend as a guest. Amy Hatton continued, "We haven't communicated this to the organizers yet, mainly because we're worried that you don't want to go. If you agree, we will have time to communicate with the organizers today. You are a star, and your fame in the United States and China is not small. When the time comes, there will be one less celebrity relatives and friends in the audience below the awards ceremony, and one more star with weight, I believe the organizers will definitely agree. Even the part of the red carpet show should add you!"
"There's a problem, though. Amy Hatton glanced at Tim Haggis on the side and said to Xiao Yao, "The guests must be celebrities, and the guests can't bring relatives and friends, so if you agree, you can only go alone, Mr. Haggis can't go." ”
"Don't think about me," Tim Haggis said to Xiao Yao, "I'm not a star, and my profession is special, so I'm not suitable for TV!"
"You're going to let me drop you?" Xiao Yao said as he looked at Tim Haggis.
"I have a second proposal. Amy Hatton said to Xiao Yao, "Let Mr. Haggis go with you." ”
"Oh?" Xiao Yao turned to look at Amy Hatton.
"You don't go as a star, but as an ordinary audience!" Amy Hatton said to Xiao Yao, "I can give you two tickets for ordinary audiences! Of course, although these two tickets are tickets for ordinary audiences, they are not ordinary, they are tickets for VIP audience positions on the side of the stage." You know, it's the position of those fans who are excited to stand in front of the stage when the stars perform. ”
"If Mr. Haggis appears in the celebrity group, it will definitely be very eye-catching, maybe the media will dig up your identity, which is naturally very bad for you. Amy Hatton looked at Tim Haggis and said, "But if you are in the ordinary audience on the side of the stage, I think even if you are on TV, I believe that the media will not dig up your identity, and it will have no impact on your career." ”
"If you're willing to go, Tim!" Xiao Yao asked Tim Haggis, "would you like to go?"
"I usually go to concerts. Tim Haggis said, "The Billboard Awards was a top-notch performance by top stars, and I'm certainly interested!"
"Is the VIP seat next to the stage or the ordinary audience seat?" Xiao Yao asked again, "As far as I know, those VIP seats have no seats, and you need to stand and watch the whole time." At your age, would you want to stand up and watch the whole thing?"
"Hey!" disgruntled Tim Haggis, "what's wrong with my age? I'm not married, I'm still a passionate young man who loves music, why can't I go crazy?"
"Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded and said to Amy Hatton, "I have no interest in walking the red carpet, so I choose to accept your second offer." ”
"Isn't it because of Mr. Haggis?" laughed Amy Hatton.
Xiao Yao pursed his lips and continued: "Since I have accepted your kindness, I naturally can't help but express it. Well, I'll be at LV for a while. Miss Thompson has my phone number, and if you or Miss Thompson need my help during this time, you can contact me, and I will do everything I can. ”
"Except, of course, being a guitarist for Miss Thompson and performing on stage with her. Xiao Yao added.
"I know," Amy Hatton smiled and nodded, thinking for a moment, "Well, Nicky is a guest performer, and I'm going to the theater tonight for a live rehearsal, if you have time, can you come over and have some advice on her performance?" I know you're very thoughtful about that. I know why you refused to perform with Nicky, but if you just give some advice behind the scenes, it shouldn't hurt the feelings of the Immortals guys. ”
"Tonight?" Xiao Yao asked, "What time is the rehearsal?"
"About ten o'clock in the evening!" said Amy Hatton.
"Yes, I'll go!" Xiao Yao saw that it would not affect his ability to go to the casino during the day, so he nodded and agreed.
"Alright!" said Amy Hatton, getting up, "Then I'll keep in touch then, and I'll see you in the evening!"
"Okay! see you in the evening!" Xiao Yao got up to see off the guests.
"Jan, we should go too!" said Tim Haggis as he got up, "Let's go!"
When Amy Hatton arrived, they were about to leave for the casino. Now that Amy Hatton's business is out of the way, they're going to head out to the casino.
"Let's go together!" Amy Hatton said.
"I'm sorry, I still have to make a call!" Xiao Yao waved his hand and said, "Tim, wait a minute!"
"Then don't send it. Amy Hatton waved her hand.
Xiao Yao still insisted on accompanying Amy Hatton to the door of the suite, helped her open the door, and sent her out.
After closing the door of the suite, Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and operated it, pressing it to his ear.
"Hi, Charlie, I'm sorry to wake you up so early!" After the phone was connected, Xiao Yao said to the other side of the phone, "I just wanted to inform you, please help me get two Billboard Award Ceremony audience tickets, I don't need them... Why? A friend gave me two cards with better locations... How good is it? On the edge of the stage, the best. So you can dispose of those two tickets for me... Don't worry, money is not a problem, I will give you money at the price I said, I just don't want those two tickets to be wasted, you can give them to others who need them... Okay, that's all... See you soon!"
"Who is Charlie? What's going on?" Tim Haggis asked strangely when he saw Xiao Yao hang up the phone.
"Charlie is a party planner who specializes in serving the wealthy, and I met him at the casino!" Xiao Yao smiled, "When I first came here, I played in the casino of this hotel. He was looking for a target at the place where he was redeeming his chips. He saw that I had a lot of chips to exchange and guessed that I had won, so he gave me a business card and promoted himself, and I kept his business card.
I don't party, I don't need a party planner, but I'm interested in the Billboard Awards and want to see the performances at the awards ceremony. You know, it takes a lot of resources to organize a party, and it must be someone who is quite familiar with the local area and has some ability. So I called him two days ago and asked him if he could get me two tickets for the ceremony. He said yes and quoted me a price. ”
Now that you have the ticket that the agent gave you with a better position, you don't need the ticket he got for you. Tim Haggis said, "You're going to be there to see the Billboard Awards Ceremony early in the morning!"
"During this time in LV, we basically went to the casino during the day, but at night, in addition to going to the casino, we went to the performance halls or theaters of various hotels to watch performances. Xiao Yao said, "The level of performance at the Billboard Awards ceremony is absolutely top-notch, certainly no worse than the performances in those hotel performance halls or theaters, of course I will not let it go." ”
"I heard you tell that Charlie to get two tickets," said Tim Haggis, "so you're going to let me go with you?"
"You are my bodyguard, of course you follow me wherever I go!" Xiao Yao said.
"That's not what you just said!" said Tim Haggis, "and when the agent told you, you asked me if I wanted to." ”
"That's because the admission ticket provided by Hatton is to be on TV, and you need to stand the whole time, of course I have to ask you!" Xiao Yao said, "The ticket I got from Charlie is an ordinary ticket, first of all, it will not be on TV, and secondly, there will be seats." Even if you don't like it, you can put on earplugs and sit in your seat to rest, and it won't affect you in any way. ”
"You!" Tim Haggis said as he glared at Xiao Yao.
"Alright," Xiao Yao said, putting his arm around Tim Haggis' shoulder, "it's time to leave for the casino." ”
