Chapter Eighty-Five: Is It Xiao Yao?
With the shouts of the guests and the audience, the lights behind and above the circular stage at the back were lit up at the same time. The members of the band who are ready for the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info also appeared in everyone's sight.
Seeing the band members appear on the stage, the guests and the audience collectively gave a round of applause.
The audience on the upper and lower floors of the Grohl Theater was more than 3,000 people, which was less than half the number of people in the "Daydream" Los Angeles concert. Although the occasion was more significant, the band members who had already undergone a big baptism were not as nervous as that time. And this is a more formal occasion, the live audience is not likely to behave as fanatically as the concert audience, the band does not have to worry too much about the atmosphere of the scene, nor do they have to manage the emotions of the audience, so they can focus more on their performance without interacting with the audience. For them, the show seemed a little easier.
This time, instead of Samion beating the drumsticks to the rhythm, Mike pressed the prelude on the electronic keyboard and started the performance.
When the lights on the stage in the performance area were turned on, a close-up of the entire band was cut to the big screen at the scene. The audience at the scene could see the five members of the band more clearly from the big screen, and at the same time, countless viewers who watched the live broadcast of the awards ceremony also saw the appearance of this young band member.
"Look, Bayi's dress is really good, quite rock and roll. Xiao Siqi sat on the sofa in the living room at home, pointed to Xiao Yao's figure in the TV picture and said to Ye Jiaying beside him.
Participating in the Oscar performance is also a very special thing, although Xiao Yao did not announce it to the world on his Weibo and post bar, nor did he take the initiative to break the news to the media, but he still called his parents to inform him. Therefore, on the day of the award ceremony, Xiao Siqi and his wife both turned off their work that day and waited in front of the TV at home early in the morning, waiting to see their son.
"I look stronger, my shoulders are broader, my chest is thicker, and it seems that I have eaten beef and potatoes in the United States for half a year. Ye Jiaying's focus is not on Xiao Yao's rock 'n' roll dress with a black leather jacket with a white T-shirt, black cargo pants and black half-height leather boots, but on Xiao Yao's figure.
As the intro music plays, the TV screen and the big screen of the scene switch to a close-up of Mike, and after the drums are added, it is changed to a close-up of Samion.
Xiao Yao was temporarily absent from the TV screen, and Xiao Siqi also had time to smile and joke to his wife: "Seeing Bayi appear at the Oscars, do you have a trace of envy, jealousy and hatred in your heart?"
"Cut~" Ye Jiaying glanced at her husband and said: "Bayi is a guest performer, I am here to sing, not to receive awards, if you want to say envy, jealousy and hatred, it should be your father who plays music." Besides, my highest pursuit as an actor is at Cannes, not at the Oscars. ”
"Uh..." Xiao Siqi was suddenly speechless by his wife.
"Hey, this girl is so beautiful, do you think Bayi will bring us a foreign girlfriend back?" Seeing the close-up of Sarmien on TV, Ye Jiaying suddenly opened her mind.
"August 1 has not yet reached the eighteenth, why are you so anxious about his girlfriend? People are afraid of children's early love, but you are like you are afraid that children will not fall in love. Xiao Siqi said with a smile.
"Can our family be the same as ordinary people? Today's film and television schools are different from ordinary colleges and universities, they support acting students to fall in love in college, and a richer relationship will help them understand the role and help their performance. The same is true for Bayi. Besides, our family Bayi has been much more mature and sensible than other children since he was a child, and we don't have to worry about his early love and accidents, I'm worried that he is too high-spirited and has never been in love. Ye Jiaying said.
"Okay, good, you have a point. Xiao Siqi said with a smile, "But there are five people in their band, four boys, how do you know that this beautiful girl will take a fancy to us Bayi." ”
"Look at the other three boys, in terms of figure and appearance, which one is comparable to our family's Bayi?" Ye Jiaying said with great confidence, "In terms of talent, there is no comparison." Their current song is written by us Bayi. Ye Jiaying said proudly.
At this time, close-ups of Dean, George and Xiao Yao had already appeared on TV in turn, and the five members of the band had already given close-ups of their faces, so Ye Jiaying said this.
"Well, if Bayi really gets along with this girl. But the girl is an American, what if Bayi doesn't bring the girl back, but stays in the United States for the sake of others?" Xiao Siqi looked at his wife with a smile and continued to tease her, "Their band has already been on the stage of the Oscars, and the starting point is already very high." With Bayi's ability and his good English, even if he stays in the United States to develop, I'm afraid there will be no problem at all, right? What should we do when the time comes? Go to the United States with us, or will I be thousands of miles away from my son? I have said before that it doesn't matter if I retire in my forties and let my son support me, what about you? Are you willing to give up your domestic career or your son?
"I hate it!" Ye Jiaying slapped Xiao Siqi on the shoulder dissatisfied, "Bayi will definitely not stay in the United States." ”
At the same time, some posts for verification began to appear on the Internet in Huaxia.
"Is there anyone watching the Oscars like me? I seem to have seen Xiao Yao. The guitarist and second lead singer of the band "Immortals" is a Chinese, why do I feel more and more like Xiao Yao?"
"The contours of the facial features are indeed very similar, but the figure seems to be stronger than Xiao Yao, the shoulders seem to be wider than Xiao Yao, the chest is thicker, and the hairstyle is different, I can't be sure. ”
Xiao Yao is indeed an exchange student in the United States, but he has not disclosed where he is in the United States, and he asked the insider to tell him more clues. ”
"I just checked this band, it's a student band of a middle school in Calabasas, it's very close to Los Angeles, and this year it's been a hit in the United States because of this song. But in the information, it is only written that the guitarist is called young, and there is no more information, so I can't confirm whether this is Xiao Yao. ”
Not only ordinary netizens who watched the Oscar broadcast, as a movie event that attracted global attention, many entertainment reporters in China were also watching the broadcast of the Oscars. Since ordinary netizens can have this kind of suspicion, more sensitive entertainment reporters will naturally think of Xiao Yao's head at the first time. It's just that no one expected that Xiao Yao, who had been silent for half a year after going to the United States, would reappear in everyone's sight in this way. Of course, the premise is that that person is indeed Xiao Yao, who has disappeared from the media for half a year.
It is still necessary to verify whether this person is Xiao Yao, but for the report that attracts everyone's attention, it is not necessary to wait for verification before sending it, adding a question mark after it, and adding a word like suspicious in front of it can be solved very well.
As a result, relevant reports soon appeared in the online media:
"Chinese faces appeared on the Oscar stage, suspected of Xiao Yao!"
"Hibernate for half a year, the United States plays a band? Oscar live performance band Chinese guitarist resembles Xiao Yao stunned netizens"
There is a sixteen-hour difference between Western time in the United States and Yanjing in China, and the Oscars show starts at 7 o'clock local time in Los Angeles on Sunday night, and officially starts at 8 o'clock, "immortals" When the band performed on stage, it was already more than nine o'clock in the evening, and it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and in Huaxia, it was already one o'clock and almost two o'clock at noon the next day, and many people were already at work or preparing to go to work and school at this time, whether it was watching the live broadcast in front of the TV or the number of people paying attention to relevant news on the Internet, so this speculation about whether the band member was Xiao Yao did not cause much repercussions.
But in the evening, this speculative news quickly spread on the Internet, and formed a huge wave of discussion. Because this Oscar did not have a Chinese film shortlisted for the Best Foreign Language Film award, the Chinese people did not pay as much attention to the Oscar as in previous years, but because of the emergence of this news, the Oscar has become a hot discussion keyword.
In the history of the Oscars, there is actually no shortage of Chinese. Chinese directors, Chinese photographers, and even Chinese soundtracks, art directors, and cinematographers have all won or been nominated for Oscars. But standing on the stage of the Oscars at the age of less than twenty, even Americans can do it, let alone Chinese.
Xiao Yao's post bar was the first to become lively, and countless posts instantly swept away the desertion of the post bar for half a year.
"Our Xiao Yao is really good at playing, and he accidentally played to the Oscars. It seems that the only Chinese people who can go to the Oscars as a guest performer are Mu Lan, who once sang "Calm" at the Oscars, right? Coincidentally, that song is also the theme song of an animated movie, but Mu Lan was already in his thirties when he appeared on the Oscar stage, and our Xiao Yao was not even twenty yet. A senior "pill" in the post bar posted.
"Correct the upstairs, Mu Lan is Chinese, not Chinese. Although they have developed in China, they are American citizens, so Xiao Yao should be the first Chinese to be a guest performer at the Oscars. But the premise is that the person is really Xiao Yao, and now the media is just guessing, and no one dares to be 100% sure. I went to Xiao Yao's Weibo just now, and his Weibo didn't say anything, and it hasn't been updated for half a year. A sane bar buddy replied below.
"Summoning the Lord of the Great Bar to fly tomorrow, ask for first-hand information to confirm. Then someone hit Chen Mingfei, who had determined that he was a classmate with Xiao Yao and had sent a lot of accurate news about Xiao Yao.
"Xiao Yao is in the United States, and the bar owner is in Huaxia, and this time the bar owner said that he couldn't help. Actually, I also want to know if this guy is Xiao Yao, but we are all in contact with email and web chat tools, and this guy doesn't know what he's been busy with lately, and he hasn't replied to me for more than two months. Chen Mingfei stood up and replied helplessly in the post bar.
The netizens in the post bar only have Chen Mingfei, a news channel, if Chen Mingfei doesn't know, the bar friends will be out of line. But entertainment reporters have a lot of other choices, the first of which is naturally Xiao Yao's parents. Classmates don't know, can't even parents not know?
So, the day after the Oscars, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying came to the studio with smiles on their faces, but found that the door of the studio was surrounded by reporters who had been waiting here for a long time.
Seeing the two appear, reporters immediately gathered around, and countless microphones were handed to the two of them, but the question asked was the same: "Is the person who performed at the Oscars yesterday Xiao Yao?" (To be continued.) )
