"The results are already obvious!" David Green stood up and stretched out his hand to Xiao Yao, "Mr. Xiao, on behalf of Billboard magazine, I now officially invite you to be a guest performer at this year's Billboard Music Awards, participate in the awards ceremony tomorrow night, and perform on stage. ”

"My pleasure!" Xiao Yao smiled and shook David Green's hand.

"Mr. Lee, thank you very much for wanting to help with the BTBS group, but unfortunately, we only have one open show. David Green turned to John Lee again, "Tomorrow night's awards ceremony, you will still be the guests. ”

"You're welcome. John Lee smiled at David Green, then turned to Xiao Yao and said, "Mr. Xiao, congratulations!"

John Lee knows that whether it is his popularity in the United States, the popularity of his works in the United States, or the hard power of his stage performance, Xiao Yao is only stronger than the BTBS group. He had confidence in the live PK of Xiao Yao and the BTBS combination before, but because he knew that this matter must be unexpected for Xiao Yao, and he felt that Xiao Yao, who had not prepared in advance, could not give a decent performance in less than two hours.

John Lee has been in the United States for a long time, and he knows what kind of performances these Americans prefer. After Xiao Yao's first performance, John Lee was surprised and knew that BTBS had little hope of winning. Although the things planned in advance were disturbed by Xiao Yao's sudden killing of "Cheng Biting Jin", and it was very unpleasant to make a wedding dress for others, but after a few minutes of Xiao Yao's second performance, John Lee had already adjusted his psychology well, at least on the surface, it seemed to be graceful.

John Lee took the seven members of BTBS and had a few more brief conversations with David Green and several celebrities before leaving.

"Mr. Shaw—" David Green said to Shaw again as he watched John Lee leave with BTBS.

"David, you can call me Jan. Xiao Yao smiled, "You have already called me Yang just now, so you don't need to be so formal." ”

Since he decided to cooperate, Xiao Yao didn't mind being familiar with the other party.

"Alright, Jan!" said David Green, "now that we've decided to invite you as a guest performer, the next step is to discuss the appearance fee." ”

Although the opportunity to be a guest performer this time was obtained after competing with others. But Xiao Yao himself is not a nominee for any award, and he still has to pay to invite him to perform.

"I heard Nicky say that you came to LV for a vacation, and I didn't see the person you led the team tonight, is it because your team didn't come to the United States with you?" David Green continued, "So is this issue of appearance fee discussed with you? By the way, because I want to talk to you about the appearance fee, I call you Mr. Shaw." ”

"When it comes to appearance fees, you shouldn't be in charge, right?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

"Of course not," David Green said, "by the way, for my colleague." If you can, please leave me your phone number and I will pass it on to the person in charge so that he can contact you. ”

"Of course, the phone number will be left to you, but you don't need to ask me to discuss the cost!" Xiao Yao said, "Although my team didn't come, I can also contact them in Huaxia through the phone and the Internet." You ask the person in charge to inquire about the contact information of my studio, and talk directly to the person in charge of my studio, that is, my agent, Miss Fang Yi. I'll call her!"

"Okay!" David Green nodded in agreement.

Xiao Yao didn't delay, took out his mobile phone and left a call for David Green, and called Fang still to inform him of the incident. Because of the time difference, it was daytime on Huaxia's side, and Xiao Yao was not worried about disturbing Fang Yi. After Fang still received Xiao Yao's call, he was naturally extremely surprised. However, having been Xiao Yao's agent for so many years, Fang still has a strong ability to accept this kind of thing. After a short period of surprise, he said that he would go through the relevant procedures with the people on the billboard, so that Xiao Yao could rest assured that he would boldly perform and play.

In addition, the billboard awards ceremony was held in Las Vegas, and Xiao Yao recently happened to be caught in the whirlpool of public opinion because of his frequent visits to Las Vegas casinos. Xiao Yao did not object to this, but asked not to say that he came to Las Vegas because he wanted to attend the Billboard Awards ceremony, and they had to do the rest.

Because of the accident on the billboard, it must be necessary to work overtime at night to deal with this matter, and it is daytime on the Huaxia side, and the people in the studio are there, so there should be no problem in communication. Normally, it should be possible to complete the formalities such as the agreement and contract through the Internet phone and fax tonight.

David Green's business is all out of the way, and the next thing is the private matter.

Now that the rehearsals for the performance of the awards show have all ended, Xiao Yao, Kordy Scott, Nicky Thompson, and several other stars who stayed to watch and judge are all done and can leave. Although the scene is not early, most of the celebrities are night owls. The stars present were shocked by Xiao Yao's two performances and were very interested in Xiao Yao, so someone suggested that everyone find a place to have a drink and get together.

Since Xiao Yao has decided to be a guest performer at tomorrow night's awards ceremony and participates in this music event, he naturally doesn't mind getting closer to several American stars. Xiao Yao knew that the purpose of their proposed party was on him, so he agreed.

The rehearsal took place in the MGM Hotel, which has a very nice bar, and everyone didn't go out to find another place, so they booked a big box party in the hotel bar.

After entering the box, after drinking a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere was familiar and relaxed, and everyone naturally chatted.

The first topic that everyone talked about was naturally Xiao Yao's two performances. They all heard David Green say that the PK of this performance was improvised, and the whole preparation period was only a few of their rehearsals, less than two hours, and they were all very curious about how Xiao Yao became a candidate for the substitute performer, and how he performed these two new songs on stage in two hours.

The reason why Xiao Yao came here is because of Nicky Thompson, the cause and process of PK with the Korean group, Cordy Scott and Nicky Thompson saw and experienced the whole process, Xiao Yao's rehearsal and preparation process, Kordy Scott watched the whole process, and Nicky Thompson also saw most of it. Speaking of this, Xiao Yao himself didn't say much, but Cordie Scott and Nicky Thompson described the course of the incident and Xiao Yao's performance throughout the rehearsal.

In terms of the time and number of Xiao Yao's public appearances in the United States, and the number of works released, Xiao Yao's fame in the United States is much higher than that of foreign artists in similar situations. A large part of this fame comes from the several cases he has experienced in the United States. Most of these celebrities met Xiao Yao for the first time, and they were also very interested in the cases that Xiao Yao experienced. After chatting about music and performance, some people gossiped about the case that year.

Cordie Scott and Nicky Thompson only know about those cases from media reports, and they don't know more than others, so this part can only be said by Xiao Yao himself.

Xiao Yao was not modest either, avoiding some details that needed to be kept secret after negotiating with the American police, and picked what he could say and told them.

After listening to this, everyone was very interested in Xiao Yao's skills. It is very inappropriate to let Xiao Yao perform kung fu routines for everyone, which is suspected of playing monkeys. But among tonight's stars are two men who love fitness. They didn't dare to fight with Xiao Yao alone, and the bar box was not a place for fighting, so they took advantage of the alcohol to propose to compete with Xiao Yao and wrestle their wrists.

Xiao Yao smiled and agreed, and then it didn't take long to defeat the two challengers with thicker arms than him, seemingly not too difficult.

The two American male stars who lost by wrestling their wrists did not show much frustration, and were very convinced to marvel at Xiao Yao's strength with everyone.

This night's party was relatively enjoyable and pleasant, and it lasted until two or three o'clock in the morning, when everyone dispersed.

When Xiao Yao returned to his hotel room, he found that Tim Haggis had returned. Since Tim Haggis had already slept, Xiao Yao didn't wake him up to ask him how he was doing with Cha Hopson's food poisoning.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yao postponed his wake-up time. When he got up, Tim Haggis hadn't gotten up yet. Considering that Tim Haggis should have done a lot of things last night, Xiao Yao didn't call him and went to the gym to work out by himself.

After the morning workout, Xiao Yao did not go to the restaurant for breakfast, but went back to the room to take a shower and change clothes, and by the way, he saw if Tim Haggis got up.

When Xiao Yao returned to the room, Tim Haggis still hadn't gotten up. However, I don't know if it was Xiao Yao's movement when he came back that woke up Tim Haggis, and when Xiao Yao came out of the shower, Tim Haggis had already washed up and sat in the living room.

"How's it going to find out last night?" Xiao Yao asked casually after saying good morning to Tim Haggis.

"There are some clues," said Tim Haggis, "but I don't think it's easy, maybe it's hard to get to the heads of the Koreans." ”

"Oh," Xiao Yao nodded noncommittally, "Then are you going to continue to investigate that matter today or go to the casino with me?"

"You're going to the casino today?" surprised Tim Haggis, "it's the Billboard Awards in the evening, don't you take a break during the day?"

"Did I tell you that I won the PK and became a guest performer tonight?" Xiao Yao smiled, "When I came back last night, you were already asleep, and when I got up in the morning, I didn't see you care!"

"Cut~ That's because I have faith in you and know that you will never lose to those Koreans. "Don't try to fool me, I don't want to go to Thompson like a fool to confirm." ”

"Okay, I don't lie to you!" Xiao Yao said, "I did win the PK and became the guest performer tonight." However, the awards ceremony was held in the evening, and there was no rehearsal during the day, so it didn't affect me to continue to go to the casino during the day. ”

"Now that I'm in trouble, Thompson won't do anything to me anymore. Xiao Yao continued, "If you want to go to check Hopson's affairs more, you don't need to accompany me to the casino." ”

"I'll go to the casino with you!" said Tim Haggis, "I'm in LA, and this isn't my territory." I went to local friends and FBI colleagues last night and asked them to help me look up. They'll let me know if there's news, so I'll go to the casino with you!"

Although photography is not allowed in some casinos, all regular casinos basically do not prohibit visitors from bringing mobile phones into the casino.

"OK," Xiao Yao shrugged, "Go have breakfast, and let's go!"

The two went to the hotel's restaurant for breakfast before heading to the casino.

In the morning, Tim Haggis, who was in the casino, did not receive any phone calls, but Xiao Yao's phone rang. Xiao Yao picked up the phone and listened, and found that it was someone from the other side of the bulletin board who contacted Xiao Yao and wanted to confirm with him the process of the night, his attendance, and the costumes during the performance.

The relevant personnel of Billboard have already contacted the people in Xiao Yao's studio last night, and the contract agreement and other things have been completed. Due to the tight time, the studio did not have time to send a team to the United States to help Xiao Yao attend the award ceremony, and Fang still knew that Xiao Yao did not have the heart to hire someone locally, nor did he want to be remotely commanded across the ocean, so he agreed to hand over these things to the people on the bulletin board.

Xiao Yao had already been informed by Fang Yi and knew that these things were to be done, but he felt that these things didn't take too long, so he didn't rush over, and made an appointment with the other party at noon on the phone.

Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis spent enough time in the casino as planned, and it was close to noon before they came out of the casino and drove to the MGM Hotel. Since the hotel is the venue for the award ceremony, the billboard has rented a lot of places here, and Xiao Yao has also been arranged in this hotel to try on the costume.

In terms of process, Xiao Yao has a super memory, and he fully understood and memorized it once he said it, and it was not bad to retell, and it was done quickly.

Next, the trial of the styling went relatively smoothly.

Compared with the award ceremony of film and television awards, music awards are more tolerant of celebrities showing their personality in clothing, and male stars are not required to wear dresses, and men are more likely to choose clothing. But Xiao Yao did not pursue to show his personality in clothing to attract attention, and chose a black casual suit very well, and the billboard naturally passed it quickly. As for the performance costumes and styling, Xiao Yao proposed a black T-shirt and jeans more casually. This look is relatively simple, and it is more in line with the atmosphere of the performance of that song, and the billboard side also accepted it smoothly.

Although things went relatively smoothly, it was inevitable that it would take some extra time than usual. There is also a casino in the MGM Hotel. In order to save time, Xiao Yao made some temporary adjustments, and went directly to the casino of the MGM Hotel in the afternoon, so that it was more convenient to participate in the Billboard Music Awards ceremony in the evening.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yao, who was in the casino, received a call from Nicky Thompson.

Nicky Thompson called to ask Xiao Yao when he was going to leave for the MGM Hotel and asked him to come with him. She didn't want to invite Xiao Yao to the same car, but this awards ceremony had a red carpet show, and the stars needed to arrive in advance to prepare. The two set off and arrived together, and they also had an acquaintance to chat with while waiting at the MGM Hotel.

After Xiao Yao heard her explain her intentions, he didn't hide it, telling him that he was now in the casino of the MGM Hotel.

Nicky Thompson was surprised to hear that Xiao Yao was now in the casino of the MGM Hotel. Although she knew that Xiao Yao had been going to the casino every day since he came to Las Vegas, when she was going to attend the awards ceremony today, Xiao Yao's behavior of not forgetting to go to the casino was still beyond her expectations.

So, Nicky Thompson, who had just asked in advance and had no plans to leave, immediately set off for the MGM Hotel. After arriving, she also went to the casino, wanting to find Xiao Yao and see what Xiao Yao was doing in the casino or what attracted him so much in the casino.
