Chapter 814: Captain

"Bayi brought the things, can you let me take a look first?" Zhu Zitong, who was beside Zhao Rui, tilted his body, looked at the direction of Zhao Rui's pocket, and asked in a whisper with some excitement.

Nina Aiyiguli on the side did not speak, but also looked at Xiao Yao with an expectant face.

"I said that I can't let Duo'er find out in advance!" Before Xiao Yao could speak, Zhao Rui said to Zhu Zitong, "The red carpet that Duo'er walked with Xiao Yao may come in at any time." What if she happens to come in and see it while you're watching? When the game is over, you can just ask Duo'er to come over and watch, she won't even be reluctant to show you. ”

"I can't help but be curious," Zhu Zitong glared at Zhao Rui and said, "Even if she comes in, she will have to walk for a while when she walks to us." You help me keep an eye on the entrance, and when I see her coming in, remind me that it's too late for us to hide right away!"

"This~" Zhao Rui looked up at Xiao Yao with some hesitation, but saw a live reporter with a microphone with the Haiyan video logo walking towards them with a cameraman, turning his head to Zhu Zitong and saying, "The reporter is here! This is a live broadcast, and it is not good for them to see it." ”

It turned out that after the on-site reporter of Haiyan Video saw Xiao Yao walking next to Zhao Rui and them, he hesitated a little and followed with the cameraman.

Although Zhao Rui and others are not team members or performers, they were not arranged to walk the red carpet, but they are also star audiences sitting in the second row, and they can also be the objects of on-site interviews by reporters. The relationship between Zhao Rui and others and Xiao Yao has long been widely known, and when they appeared in the audience, they must have come to cheer for Xiao Yao, so it is also a good choice to interview them.

When Zhu Zitong saw the reporter coming, he immediately put on an excited expression, raised his fist and said to Xiao Yao with a smile, come on, and stop talking about the topic just now.

Xiao Yao had his back to the reporter, listened to the words of Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong, and knew that the reporter was coming, so he did not rush to leave the field to warm up, but raised his fist and touched them one by one.

"Hello, can I interview you?" When the on-site reporter walked up to them, he saw Xiao Yao interacting with them, so he asked with a smile.

"Of course you can!" Xiao Yao turned around and nodded with a smile.

"I just pulled Xiao Yao to ask for an interview, but he said let me wait. I thought he had something important to do? I was going to come and say hello to you first. It seems that your relationship is really good!" The on-site reporter did not rush to interview Xiao Yao, but smiled at Zhao Rui and the others first.

"That's!" Zhao Rui nodded with a smile, "The relationship between the few of us must not have been said!"

If it was usual, Zhao Rui would have to tease Xiao Yao a few words, but now he can't let the reporter know the real reason, so Zhao Rui can only play a very rare role of "brotherly love".

"So what do you think Xiao Yao can perform in this competition, and do you have any requirements or expectations for him?" the on-site reporter asked Zhao Rui and the others.

On this occasion, the questions asked by the reporters on the scene were basically beyond the expectations of Xiao Yao, Zhao Rui and others, which means that the questions behind were quite "official".

The on-site reporter had not finished the interview with Xiao Yao and the others, and Sun Tingting, who had changed into a light casual outfit, also came to the audience, and the on-site reporter naturally included Sun Tingting in the scope of her interview.

When Sun Tingting came over, Xiao Yao got up and gave up his seat to Sun Tingting, shook her hand, and went down to the court to warm up first. Before Sun Tingting came, Xiao Yao also answered a few questions from reporters. It is not the first time for the rest of these people to face reporters, and there is no problem in dealing with reporters by themselves, and they don't need Xiao Yao to accompany them.

Xiao Yao went down to the court, walked to the half of the court where his team was, said hello to a few teammates who arrived first, took out a basketball from the basket on the side of the court, and started shooting practice on the court, waiting for the game to officially start.

After a while, all the players arrived. The managers of both sides drove all the players onto the pitch and officially began the pre-match warm-up.

By this time, the audience had almost arrived. Looking at the performance of the players on both sides during the warm-up, there were bursts of cheers and screams at the scene.

After the warm-up, it was the appearance ceremony of the players of both sides.

The players on both sides all returned to the bench under the reminder of the staff, and the staff quickly took away the warm-up basketballs that were bouncing around on the court and cleared the field.

This Huaxia Professional League All-Star Celebrity Game is based on the celebrity game process of American professional basketball. The players walked from the benches of both sides to the centre of the pitch, rather than out of the tunnel as in the charity games of the year. The staff set up two small red carpets on the court, and a group of cheerleaders ran up and stood on both sides of the red carpet.

With live music and the host's voice playing, players from both sides began to play.

The first to play were the managers of both sides. The coaches of both sides of the American Professional Basketball Masters Game that Xiao Yao participated in were beautiful anchors. There are also beautiful anchors in the broadcast of basketball games in Huaxia, but there are no particularly professional beautiful anchors who serve as game commentators like the United States, but are responsible for reading advertisements and commenting on fans during the pause time in the middle, and interacting with fans. Huaxia has not yet been able to serve as the head coach of the Masters Tournament, so the coaches of both sides of the Masters Tournament are well-known expert commentators, both male.

After the manager, both sides came in second place with retired former professionals. These two former professional players are not officially hung up with the title of assistant coach, but in any case, former professional players are former professional players, the most professional of all players, and in the team, they must have the second right to speak after the head coach, so they were arranged to play second.

After that, it was one non-professional player after another. Basically, the identities of the players in the same order of play on both sides are also corresponding. For example, actors vs. actors, singers vs. singers, athletes in other sports vs. athletes in other sports, and women players vs. female players, which is consistent with the celebrity game of American professional basketball. The only difference is that the age span of these players is not that big, there are no children, there are no old people, and they are basically young adults.

In the end, the finale is the captains of both sides and the stars who seem to be the most popular. The celebrity team in the northern region is naturally Xiao Yao, and the one in the southern team is a treasure island artist named Zheng Zhebin.

Zheng Zhebin is six years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, debuted as a singer at the age of eighteen, and his debut album was a blockbuster, and he was called the little king of the music world within a few years, and his follow-up albums have also achieved remarkable results. In the nearly 20 years since his debut, he has not only been in the treasure island area, but also has a great influence in the mainland, and he can be said to be one of the iconic figures of an era in the entertainment industry.

Speaking of which, this Zheng Zhebin and Xiao Yao have a lot of similarities. First of all, Zheng Zhebin is also a singer-songwriter, not only all the songs are basically original, but also have written songs for others. Secondly, he was relatively young when he debuted, and he became famous as a teenager. There is also the fact that he is not only a singer and musician, but also later transformed into film and television, and is also an actor, screenwriter and director. has not only starred in movies, but also written, directed and acted in movies. He is also involved in the fashion industry, with his own fashion brand, including clothing and shoes.

In view of the similarity between the two in all aspects, some media compare the two together, saying that Xiao Yao is the "little Zheng Zhebin" in the mainland. However, most of the mainland media and the public, especially Xiao Yao's fans, do not agree with this statement.

First of all, the two have different backgrounds and family backgrounds. Zheng Zhebin was born in a single family, his mother is an ordinary person, and although Xiao Yao has also experienced a single family for a period of time, it only lasted less than five years, and more importantly, Xiao Yao's grandfather and stepmother are well-known actors, and his father is a singer-songwriter, and his family background is much stronger than Zheng Zhebin. The difference in background and growth environment also determines that the development path of the two is unlikely to be imagined.

In terms of academic qualifications, Zheng Zhebin dropped out of high school to focus on music, Xiao Yao is the top of the double list of the college entrance examination and art examination in the mainland, and he was born in the acting department of the film and television college.

In terms of qualifications, Xiao Yao is definitely inferior to Zheng Zhebin, in terms of sales of music works, the number of music awards and the number of film and television works, Xiao Yao is not as good as Zheng Zhebin, but that is all due to the difference in age and debut time between the two.

In terms of creative talent in music, it is not easy for the two to say who must be stronger than the other, but Xiao Yao's music style is much richer than Zheng Zhebin. Zheng Zhebin's little king in the music world is the little king of RNB, although he has also sung some other types of songs, but the album style and impression are still RNB singers. Xiao Yao's style is a bit miscellaneous, including folk, pop, rock, electronic music and even Beijing rhyme. Judging from Xiao Yao's singing skills in those works, many people think that although Xiao Yao is younger than Zheng Zhebin, his singing skills are stronger than Zheng Zhebin.

In terms of film and television, although Zheng Zhebin has also won two Best Newcomer Actor awards for a film work, there has only been one movie that has won awards for so many years, and since then, he has not had any chance with various awards. And Xiao Yao acted in dramas at the age of eight, won the Best Newcomer Actor Award for a TV series as a supporting actor in the first TV series, and won the Best Newcomer Actor Award in the film category as the protagonist in the first movie.

As a screenwriter and director, Zheng Zhebin has only two film works in more than ten years. Both films have decent ratings, but they don't win any heavyweight awards. Xiao Yao's current film works are not many, but the first short film directly won an award at the Clermont Ferrand Short Film International Film Festival, which is known as the "short film Cannes", and the first animated film won the award for best animated film in several film festivals and film awards, and was nominated for more. Although the first live-action film co-directed by someone else did not have a tendency to win Best Film and Best Director, this is also limited by the subject matter. At least in terms of potential, Xiao Yao looks far better than Zheng Zhebin.

However, in any case, the two are the most well-known and popular players in their respective teams, and most people are not surprised that these two are the finale of their respective teams. When the two appeared on the stage, they also received the most enthusiastic cheers and screams from the audience.

Although Zheng Zhebin is thirty-six years old and has married and had children, his personality is still very lively. After walking to the middle of the court with Xiao Yao, he greeted Xiao Yao warmly in a hip-hop way when he met for the first time.

In the appearance stage of the Masters, the live host only interviews the captains of both sides at the end. When the host interviewed the two, Zheng Zhebin, who was still very enthusiastic just now, immediately changed his face and said cruel words to Xiao Yao very directly. In comparison, Xiao Yao's speech was much milder, just smiled and said that he wanted to win, and he didn't care much about personal honor, which sounded very official.

After the ceremony, the players of both teams returned to the bench. The staff quickly cleaned up the venue, set up musical instruments and other sound equipment, and prepared for the opening performance.

There were two groups of guests for the opening performance. One is an emerging rock band that has become popular in the past two years, bringing a rock song to everyone on the spot, which quickly brought the atmosphere of the scene. Another group of performers is Xiao Yao's acquaintance, the 101 girl group.

This girl group selected through variety shows said that it was a limited-time girl group, and it stands to reason that it should have been disbanded at the end of last year, but I don't know if the value of this girl group has not been tapped, Haiyan Entertainment announced the extension of the limited time of this girl group after discussing with various companies, but the members of the girl group are allowed to return to their original companies to participate in activities, and they can even participate in other groups in parallel, and when they need to appear together, they can still get together to participate in activities.

Haiyan Video is the network broadcaster of this All-Star Weekend, so naturally this girl group will be a guest performer.

After the 101 women's group received the notice of this event, they also contacted Xiao Yao, wanting him to help prepare for the next show or something, but Xiao Yao was a member of the competition and wanted to practice, and told them that they would accompany Sun Tingting when they performed, and they also had to practice, so there was no time, and the members of the women's group did not bother Xiao Yao again. So this time, before the game, Xiao Yao had no contact with this women's group.

In the All-Star Weekend Celebrity Contest in Huaxia, the girl group naturally did not sing the Korean song that Xiao Yao wrote for them, but chose an inspirational song from before them. The on-site effect, anyway, from Xiao Yao's point of view, I think it is very suitable for their identity as a female idol group.

After the pre-match performance, the game officially began.

The three referees took the court with a basketball, and the starters of both teams also got up and walked onto the court.

In terms of starting line-ups, both teams fielded their former pros and captains. In the jumping session of the kick-off, it was their captain Zheng Zhebin who was standing in the middle circle of the Southern Celebrity Team ready to jump the ball, while on the side of the Northern Celebrity Team, there was an actor named Zhao Tingxiao.

The jumping ball personnel was decided by the previous team. Everyone knows that this kind of game will not let former professional players jump the ball, Yi Yang originally wanted Xiao Yao to jump the ball and strive to win the first offensive ball, but Xiao Yao refused, and selected Zhao Tingxiao, who has a relatively low sense of presence among the starters.

"Xiao Yao, why don't you jump the ball?" Seeing Zheng Zhebin standing opposite, Zhao Tingxiao signaled to the referee, asked the referee to pause, and turned back to Xiao Yao.

Neither side fielded any female players in the starting line-up. Zhao Tingxiao saw that the captain was sent on the other side, so he wanted to change Xiao Yao to go up and confront the opponent, which was also a topic.

"No!" Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand, "I believe in you, I will definitely be able to win against Zheng Zhebin!" ”

"Okay!" Zhao Tingxiao saw that Xiao Yao was unwilling, so he didn't force it, looked back at the referee, and signaled that he could start.

The referee standing in the middle circle held up the basketball and threw it into the air, and Zheng Zhebin and Zhao Tingxiao immediately jumped up with their arms raised.
