The meaning of Keith's sentence is obviously that Xiao Yao, a Chinese teenager, has surpassed Bill Justin, the most popular young musical genius in the United States, in terms of musical talent and musical literacy. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although James Waco also felt that Xiao Yao's performance was very good, but when he heard Keith say that American teenagers were not as good as Chinese teenagers, James, who was also a young American, was still a little unhappy.

James is not good at refuting Keith's words directly, on the one hand, with Keith's identity and age, it is very inappropriate for him to casually question and refute on this occasion. What's more, James is not a music major, and even if he questions and refutes, he can't say anything substantial. In order to save face for some American teenagers, James decided to open the eyes of Xiao Yao, a kid from China, in other aspects.

"Keith, Ron, now that the recording is over, what's next?" James said to Keith and Ron, who were each holding a monitor headset and listening to the recording.

"Hmm... We're going to do some post-processing with the song we just recorded. Keith replied.

After thinking about it, Keith said to the band members on the side, "Your job is done, you can go." When post-production is complete, I'll send a copy to Young. Is it okay for you guys?"

"Okay," Xiao Yao nodded in thanks, "thank you, Keith." ”

"No thanks, remember what you promised me. Keith reminded with a smile.

"What did you promise him?" said Sarmien, a little nervous.

"I promised Keith that our band would give them a warm-up performance for Daydreaming in Los Angeles before Christmas. Xiao Yao explained, "I'm sorry that I made this decision without going through everyone, but I thought it was a rare opportunity, so I agreed to it." I hope you don't have a problem with that. ”

"Oh. Sarmien said with a relaxed expression.

"Of course I don't have a problem. Dean and Mike and George were excited. Warming up for their "Daydream" concert was an opportunity that their student band had always dreamed of.

"Alright, we're going to work. You young people go and play on your own. Ron also spoke, "This is Los Angeles, and there are so many fun places." ”

"Yes, Jan has been here for three months, and he has been staying in Calabasas, and he hasn't been to Los Angeles except for the first day," Dean also patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, today is the weekend, so we might as well have a good time in Los Angeles and go back." ”

"Okay, then let's have a good walk around Los Angeles, and then I'll go back with you. Xiao Yao nodded.

"Keith, I'll go back with my friends directly after that, and I won't have to worry about arranging a car for me again. Please say goodbye to Betty on my behalf. Xiao Yao said to Keith Craig again.

"Well, contact later. Keith waved his hand.

Saying goodbye to Keith and Ron, the band members leave Keith's studio. Before they could decide where to go, James Waco chased after him.

"Hey, where are you going?" James called out to the band, "don't tell me to go to the Walk of Fame, Disney, Universal Studios, all that." It's a tourist attraction, you wouldn't be that cheesy, would you?"

"So you have a good recommendation?" Xiao Yao looked at James with some strange eyes.

"Yes," James nodded, "I'll show you what the coolest young people in L.A. are playing right now." ”

"It's a new sport, it should be regarded as a kind of extreme sports, it has only been about two years since it appeared, and it has just begun to become popular among young people in major cities around the world, and it is very trendy. James continued, "There's an event this afternoon, I know the location, why don't I take you there to open your eyes." ”

"Yang, what do you think?" the rest of the band all eyes turned to Xiao Yao. After all, the four of them all grew up in Calabasas, next to Los Angeles, and they had already been to those famous attractions in Los Angeles, and this time it was mainly to accompany Xiao Yao.

"I'm more interested in what James said. Xiao Yao smiled. Although he has been in Calabasas for the past three months, he has been to Los Angeles when he followed Chen Xuan everywhere to take pictures, and he has been to those famous attractions for a long time.

"But there were six of us, and we only had one car. Sarmien frowned a little embarrassed. A car is full for five people, and six people are too crowded. James, like Xiao Yao, came in Keith's car, but I didn't see him drive over.

"I borrowed Ron's car. James raised the car key in his hand, "Anyway, he and Keith will have to do music for a long time, and they don't need a car for the time being." It turned out that the reason why James came out later than the band members was because he went to Ron to borrow a car.

"Okay, let's go. You lead the way, we follow you. With that, the five members of the band squeezed into a car very tacitly.

James didn't care, got into Ron's car and drove towards his destination.

Arriving at the destination, Dean and the others after getting off the bus looked at the location in front of them a little strangely.

"Didn't you say extreme sports, how did you get to the residential area?" Dean asked James, who smiled excitedly. "By the way, I didn't expect there to be such a residential area in Los Angeles. ”

They are currently in a somewhat old residential area, mostly one- or two-storey, and no more than three-storey buildings, but unlike the middle-class residential areas, which are mostly single-family houses, most of these buildings are connected, especially in the open space in front of the building, in addition to the lawn, there are undulating steps, slopes and railings. Many of the low walls that serve as partitions and step railings also create small passages that can be wide or narrow.

"This kind of sport is played in this kind of place. James explains with a smile: "It's not like extreme sports like skateboarding or cycling, it's a sport that is based on scenes from everyday city life. ”

"Look," James said, pointing to a group of people running through the building, "there are no rules or movements, just run, jump, and cross these simple movements, but you can give full play to your imagination and use your own unique way to overcome these obstacles in front of you." It is a kind of athletic art that relies on one's own physical strength and physical fitness to quickly, effectively and reliably navigate any known and unknown environment. Isn't that cool?"

Seeing that group of people crossing obstacles with various unbelievable movements, fast, smooth and very flexible and agile, both novel and very ornamental, several people couldn't help but nod.

"By the way, it's called," James concluded by introducing the name of the sport.

"Parkour!" a voice picked up James' words.

James looked back in surprise and found that it was Xiao Yao, the Chinese boy he wanted to bring to the world, who spoke. At this time, Xiao Yao crossed his fingers with both hands, turned his palms and stretched his arms forward, and when he tilted his neck left and right, he could still hear a slight "click" sound.

"You know?" said James, looking at Xiao Yao incredulously.

"Of course, I also played it when I was in Huaxia. Xiao Yao replied with a smile.

After moving his body briefly, Xiao Yao took off the jacket on his upper body and said to James: "I haven't run for a long time, and now that I see it, I want to run too." Those people wouldn't mind me joining, would they?"

"Of course, it's a very open event and anyone can join in and play. James replied subconsciously. Then he reacted and asked: "Are you sure you can play?" Look at their movements, this sport is quite dangerous, and the terrain in this place today is also relatively complicated, so it is not recommended that people with no experience or little experience rush to participate. ”

"Yes, it's really dangerous to look at, let's just take a look at it, you still don't take any risks. Mike and George were also a little worried, "We still have the task of warming up the performance for Daydream before Christmas, and if you get injured or break a bone or something, it may affect the performance at that time." ”

"The art of movement that navigates any known and unknown environment. Who said that? It sums it up so well. Xiao Yao praised in his heart, and then comforted Mike and George with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm not a reckless person." I really have experience playing this and have the ability to properly control the danger and minimize it. ”

"I trust Jan!" Dean stepped up, "Jan will always know what he's doing. ”

Sarmien also had some worry on her face, but she looked like she wanted to say something, and in the end she didn't say anything.

Throwing his coat into Sarmyon's car, Xiao Yao walked slowly to the edge of the complex and chose a random starting point.

After taking a few deep breaths and adjusting his breathing, Xiao Yao squatted down and rushed out.

The first obstacle in front of him was a low wall about one meter high, which was used as a partition, Xiao Yao sank his center of gravity, swung his arms up, and jumped forward. With your hands on the wall, your body rises upward, your feet in front of you, and your knees are bent to tuck your abdomen. At the same time, press down with both hands, and when the body reaches the top of the obstacle, the hands are pulled back, and the body slides forward naturally through inertia, and then the low wall is easily crossed.

"King Kong jump!" James cried softly.

Xiao Yao wanted to play parkour, and the rest of the band followed and watched. James admits that his skills are relatively poor, and he is still in the basic practice stage, and he does not run with Xiao Yao, but stands with the rest of the band to watch Xiao Yao run.

Several members of the band turned their heads to look at James, and instantly understood that it was James who called out the name of Xiao Yao's action. It can be seen from this that Xiao Yao really has a lot of experience in playing this.

Monkey jumping, cat climbing, kicking on the wall, side-hand back-grasping railing, side-hand back-grasping wall, etc., were done in the process of Xiao Yao's running, and they also popped out of James's mouth one by one. Especially in many of the front, back and side flips that Xiao Yao usually added when crossing or jumping, James was already so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

In addition to the gorgeous and beautiful movements, Xiao Yao's whole running is also very smooth and fast, so those young people who are already running are surpassed by Xiao Yao one by one.

Xiao Yao's actions naturally attracted everyone's attention, and even many people who were running unconsciously stopped and watched Xiao Yao running intently after seeing Xiao Yao surpass himself with various difficult movements.

Since it is running, it is natural that there is a position to move. It was impossible for a few members of the band and James to watch the whole process of Xiao Yao's run, so they had to run with Xiao Yao. It's just that Xiao Yao is running in a variety of cool ways to cross obstacles, and they are constantly moving their positions according to Xiao Yao's running route.

When they ran, they naturally attracted the attention of others. Several members of the band were unfamiliar faces, and everyone didn't pay much attention to them, but James Waco often hung out with a group of parkour enthusiasts, and everyone was very familiar with him, so they gathered around him to ask Xiao Yao.

"Jim, do you know that guy?"

"Jimmy, I just saw you guys coming together. Where did you get such a great guy?" (To be continued.) )
