Chapter 109: It's time to play
"Congratulations!" After his thank-you speech, Keith Craig put the microphone back on the microphone stand, jumped off the stage, and offered to the bride and groom with open hands and a blessed hug. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Thank you! Thank you!" the bride and groom took turns hugging Keith Craig excitedly, and the groomsmen and bridesmaids, who had seen the opportunity quickly, poured a few glasses of wine from the table next to them and handed them to the groomsmen, bridesmaids, Keith Craig and the band members who followed him off the stage. Then, some of the other guests also picked up bottles and glasses from the table and poured wine for Xiao Yao, the photographer and the technical workers standing nearby. Since everyone was wearing formal attire for the wedding, the scene was not inconsistent at all.
"I wish the bride and groom a happy wedding and eternal happiness, and I wish all of you good health and happiness!" The wine glass was already in his hand, and Keith raised it high and said two toasts improvishly.
Everyone raised their glasses and took a sip with Keith Craig.
After the toast, several fanatical fans of "Daydream" among the guests could no longer care about the bride and groom, squeezed to the front, gave a big hug to the idol, and a few raised their mobile phones to take a selfie with Keith. Keith and the others were also very cooperative, satisfied one by one with smiles on their faces, and occasionally made a few funny expressions, which naturally made the crowd at the scene very happy.
However, this is always the scene of the wedding, and there are not many fanatical fans of "Daydream", and everyone behaves more restrained, basically taking a few photos, and they don't pester the idols too much.
After satisfying the group photo requests of several fans at the scene, Keith hugged the friend among the guests again, and said in his ear with a smile: "How is this appearance?
"Great!, how did you come up with that?" said my friend gratefully.
"Friend's idea. Keith Craig smiled and asked, "Did you really decide not to tell the groom about our relationship?"
"Since you've decided to play this way, I'm not going to tell him," Keith's friend shook his head, "just let him think he's one of the lucky ones in God's favor, and they'll be happier." ”
"Okay," Keith smiled and let go of his friend, then raised his arms and shouted to the crowd, "Did you like that song?"
"I like it!"
"Great!"
"Sweet is dead!"
The bride, groom, and guests shouted in response.
"Thank you, I'm glad you like it!" Keith said with a smile, "This song is a new song for our band, this is the first time we have performed it publicly, and everyone is the first to hear it!"
"Wow, that's great!"
"Encore!"
The people at the scene shouted again.
"No encore," Keith shook his head with a smile and said, "But we all took the scene just now, and these pictures will be used by us as the video material for the MV of this song, if nothing else, today's wedding, everyone present may appear in our new song MV, do you have any questions? Do you want to appear in the MV, or need to charge us for the use of portrait rights? If so, please let us know, we will cut out all the footage of you!"
"No, no!"
"You want to be beautiful!"
The people at the scene cheered in surprise again, and they all shook their heads and shouted when they heard Keith's question behind them. can appear in the MV of "Daydream", this is a good thing that everyone can't find with money, who would have a brain cramp to refuse, or ask them for portrait royalties.
"Okay, thank you!" Keith pressed down with his hands, "You're the first lucky ones today, but you're not the only ones, we're going to look for the other lucky ones who are having a wedding, so now we're leaving." Have a nice day. See you soon!"
With that, Keith Craig and the band members waved to the crowd and squeezed outside. As early as after Keith Craig's toast, Xiao Yao had already called on the technical workers to pack up the curtain props and equipment on the scene. At this time, the band members led the team away, and Xiao Yao, the cameraman and the technical workers followed with the repackaged equipment.
"Wow! It's so cool! I didn't expect to be able to play like this!" After getting into the convertible, the band members also high-fived each other, still full of excitement.
"The next wedding scene is in a restaurant in Chinatown, and the newlyweds are all Chinese!" Xiao Yao didn't rush to get into the car after coming out, and after looking at the time on his mobile phone, he contacted a staff member who was sent out in advance, and then said to Keith Craig and the others, "Let's go!"
"Chinese weddings?" Keith Craig looked at Xiao Yao, cheered, and started the car, "Brothers, let's go!"
The second wedding they went to was a Chinese wedding, and there was no band on the scene, so the audio equipment, microphones, drum kits, and electronic keyboards had to be moved down from the van and carried in, but because they had done it once at the first wedding, everyone had a little experience, so although the preparation was a little more troublesome, it was not too difficult to do.
I don't know if the luck is or the elders at this wedding are not as strong as the previous wedding, so even if they saw a group of people who suddenly rushed into the scene and set up a curtain to prepare the stage on the scene, no one at the scene immediately stood up to stop them, they just sat on their seats and looked at them blankly.
The perfect place to set up the stage for this wedding was not far from the passage in the kitchen, so the band members, who had already done reconnaissance work, did not walk through the door of the banquet hall as they did for the first wedding, but sneaked into the curtains through the back kitchen of the restaurant.
Seeing that the figure in the curtain was in position, it seemed that he was ready, and Xiao Yao once again pulled the bride and groom at the wedding to the curtain.
The music began and the curtain opened. There was another exclamation of God. The bride turned around and hugged the groom, jumping to her feet in her arms. The groom also opened his mouth wide and pointed at Keith Craig on the stage, speechless in surprise. Although the wedding scene is full of Chinese faces, in the United States, the popularity of "Daydream" is really not covered.
When the curtain opened, Keith Craig and the other band members also glared in surprise.
Although the newlyweds are still wearing a very Western-style white wedding dress and a black suit, the wedding scene is based on the theme of traditional Chinese festive red tones. The red double happiness stickers, the big red curtains hanging down the porch, and the many red lanterns hung at the special scene, which also made the band members who saw the Chinese wedding for the first time feel very novel and interesting.
It was still the cheerful rhythm of "Sugar", after Keith Craig started singing, Xiao Yao still ran to the guests' tables, raised his hand and beckoned many young guests to stand in the middle of the venue, and danced around the bride and groom.
The joy was soon stirred up, the bride and groom held hands and improvised ballroom dance, and an excited long-haired girl even shook her head and shook her hair on the spot. Then, some middle-aged and elderly guests who are old and serious have also joined in, after all, living in the United States, they will be somewhat influenced by American culture, at this time, they are also excited to rush down the old man to talk about the teenager crazy. Looking at the gray-haired, serious dresses, and excitedly dancing at the wedding banquet, Xiao Yao, who has only seen the aunts and uncles dance in the square, can't help but sigh at the difference in the cultures of the two countries.
"Thank you, I wish the couple a hundred years of good together, and give birth to a noble son early!" After the song, Keith gave a speech of thanks, and said two words of Chinese that Xiao Yao temporarily taught him before coming.
Although the Chinese at the scene are basically American nationals and have long been accustomed to speaking English, in a place like Chinatown, there are really no Chinese who do not understand Chinese at all, hearing Keith Craig's somewhat broken Chinese, everyone at the scene felt the full sincerity of the "Daydream" band, and the people at the scene also let out a loud cheer and scream. In particular, the wedding greeting phrase "a hundred years of good marriage, early birth of a noble son" with Chinese cultural characteristics made many elderly guests at the scene also excitedly tear their throats and cheer while applauding.
After that, he still sent a hug to the bride and groom, took the wine glass to toast, and then met the group photo request of several fans at the scene, Keith Craig also announced once again that the scene just now will be used as the video material for the new song MV.
Just like the previous wedding, everyone was extremely excited and happy to be able to appear in the MV of the new song "Daydream", and no one jumped out to express their opposition. Finally, after saying "goodbye" in Chinese to everyone at the wedding scene, everyone quickly left the venue and rushed to the next goal.
"Hey, isn't that a 'pipe dream?'" As the convoy stopped at an intersection and waited for a red light, the band members, still excitedly discussing what they had just seen at the wedding, caught the attention of several young girls in a nearby car. When they turned their heads to see several of the bandmates in the convertible, they shouted excitedly. Immediately, several girls simply opened the car door and jumped out, greeted the band members, and began to take various selfies. The members of the band were in a state of excitement and happiness all the time, and they didn't mind it, and they got up from the car and took a selfie with the girls.
It's just that the excited band members and girls didn't pay attention to the occasion and time, in front of the traffic lights in heavy traffic, where was the place to stop and take pictures, and soon a patrolling police car drove up, reminding them to drive away. The girls stuck out their tongues and ran back to their cars, and the band members drove off with a smile unaffected. The videographer who sat in the back of an SUV and carried a camera was also faithful to record the episode on the road.
The third, fourth, and fifth performances were the same, but the excitement and enthusiasm of the "Daydream" band did not diminish at all, and they were still so excited.
Of course, although the process is the same, the wedding scene is not exactly the same. I don't know if it's a so-called good day, there are really a lot of places where weddings are held in Los Angeles on this day, and it is definitely impossible for them to run to them all, in order to reflect the diversity as much as possible, Xiao Yao also tried not to repeat it in choosing a wedding. American, Chinese, Irish, indoor banquets, outdoor parties, whites, blacks, Chinese, Latinos, whether it is the form of the wedding or the object of the wedding, Xiao Yao chooses the wedding scene with different characteristics as much as possible.
After five weddings in a row, the night began to slowly fall, the lights were on, Los Angeles showed a brilliant night scene, and the band decided to move towards the goal of the last wedding scene.
The final wedding scene was on an open-air lawn in the park, which was the largest, the largest number of people, and the most enthusiastic atmosphere. The groom is a black guy and the bride is a white Latino girl, although they are also dressed in white wedding dresses and black suits, but from the groom's full of pigtails, it can be seen that this very young couple is definitely not a peaceful master.
“sh... (shit)!”
“WhatTheF...”
When the white curtain was pulled down and the "Daydream" band appeared, the groom and bride, who were pulled to the stage by Xiao Yao, almost burst out foul language.
When the atmosphere reached its fullest, the groom simply danced on the wooden stage, and did the floor movements on the ground in a dress that was not too dirty at all. The bride lifted the hem of her thick wedding dress and danced the Latin dance on the stage.
"I remember," the cameraman who was carrying a camera next to him to shoot these two newcomers with extraordinary dancing skills suddenly spoke, "They are Joey and Mandy, the top 12 in the country of last year's "Dancer" reality show, and they have worked together for several episodes, but I didn't expect to dance together. ”
"Is this still a celebrity?" Xiao Yao was also slightly surprised. "Dancer" is an American dance talent show similar to the previous life "Dance Charm World", and those who can enter the top 20 are basically professional dancers with good skills.
It's already night, and it's the last wedding of today's raid. Xiao Yao felt that the materials shot today should be enough, and it seemed that neither the photographer nor the on-site dismantling props would have to bother staring at it anymore. Looking at the black groom Joey who was sprinkled with joy on the floor, Xiao Yao couldn't help the excitement in his heart, and ran off the field to dance with the groom.
"Wow~" Seeing that some of these "daydreaming" members of the team came off the stage to challenge Joey, the guests who knew the identity of the groom cheered up. The bride on one side simply stopped jumping, and instead stood aside and cheered for her husband with the guests, laughing and shouting.
"Jan, too, is having fun. Keith Craig smiled and looked at Xiao Yao, who was dancing with the groom on the floor, and turned his head to gesture to the band members.
Most of their performances today were very elegant in formal attire, but at this time, Keith and guitarists and bassists also jumped on the stage to make the atmosphere more enthusiastic. With tacit understanding, they also asked the guitarist to improvise a cool solo to cheer up the two who were dancing.
