Chapter 540: Accidents and Remedies

Xiao Yao and the grand piano are in the middle of the stage, and there are two sets of lighting overhead. With the improvement of the brightness of the lights, the audience at the scene not only saw Xiao Yao in a black suit and the black grand piano in front of him, but also saw a microphone installed on the microphone stand next to him in front of him. At the back of the stage, in a stage area between Xiao Yao and the big open model, the audience also saw the shadows of several other musicians and some musical instruments.

The stage of this year's Eva show is very different from previous years, there are almost no horizontal short sides, so the models do not open on the side, but at the back of the stage, opposite the front of the stage. To the left, right and above the stage passage is a large electronic curtain wall.

Xiao Yao also walked onto the stage from this exit channel. Although the stage in the middle is a little higher than the surrounding area, there is a gentle slope at the back of the stage that connects the catwalk area of the models to the high ground in the middle of the stage.

With the sound of Xiao Yao playing music on the piano, the model of the passage mouth opened and stepped forward.

The normal model catwalk route should be to walk around the stage. The exit tunnel is directly behind the stage, so the model should first turn to walk from one side to one side of the stage and then back from the other side. But the first model to appear on the catwalk was different, she did not follow the catwalk route around the stage, but went straight from the entrance to the front and walked along the gentle slope of the middle stage to the middle stage for the performers.

With the action of the open model, the entire electronic curtain wall behind the stage lit up, and several other groups of lighting groups above the stage also lit up in turn with the pace of the open model, not only showing the face of the open model, but also completely illuminating a stage near the back of the stage, and the figure of the entire band on the stage was also completely displayed in front of the audience.

The band consists of musicians who play several instruments, such as drums, electric guitars, and bass. They were all behind Xiao Yao and the grand piano, lined up horizontally on the stage. However, the stage is wide enough, even if it is arranged horizontally, and the space between them is enough for open models with wings on their backs to pass through the middle of the stage.

When the open-ended model with wings on her back and a gorgeous underwear walked onto the performance stage, completely showing her posture and face in front of all the live audience, some lights began to flicker regularly, and the audience's cheers and screams rang out.

The model who served as the big hit of this year's Eva show was Zoe Hunter, and when she passed by Xiao Yao and the grand piano in the middle of the stage, she turned her head and smiled at Xiao Yao, and also stretched out her finger and pointed to her eyes, as if to say let Xiao Yao take a good look. Xiao Yao smiled and lowered one shoulder slightly, tilting his head, indicating that he was affected.

When Zoe passed by Xiao Yao and walked forward, Xiao Yao turned his head and chased Zoe's figure. But even if his gaze shifted, Xiao Yao's movements of his hands on the piano keys were not slow at all.

The Eva show is different from your average fashion show, it's more like a show. In order to take the lead and quickly bring a warm atmosphere, the music at the beginning of the Eva show is generally more intense and fast-paced.

Normally, Eva rarely puts guest performances in the first unit, and when she does, it's mostly a rock band with an electric guitar rather than an elegant piano. But this time, Eva did just that. In the background music for the big debut, it is mainly based on the piano sound played by Xiao Yao.

The reason why Eva dared to do this was because the opening soundtrack not only had Xiao Yao's piano sound, but also other more intense instruments such as drums and guitar sounds, but the piano sound was the most obvious. On the other hand, the rhythm of Xiao Yao's piano melody is very fast, with the sound of drums and electric guitars, accompanied by fierce flashing lights, it can also make people feel excited, and can quickly bring the atmosphere of the scene.

The piano melody played by Xiao Yao at this time is a small section of Maxim's "Flying Bees" in his previous life, which has not yet appeared in this world. Although most of the audience's attention was on the models on stage, the audience couldn't help but be shocked by the rapid rhythm of a piano melody. The cheers and screams of the audience were not only given to the models on the stage, but also to Xiao Yao.

When Zoe walked to the front of the stage and posed for a freeze-frame pose accompanied by Xiao Yao's "Wild Bees Flying", the cheers and screams of the audience suddenly increased a lot, and the whole scene was completely boiling. Even the models at the backstage aisle let out cheers and screams.

After finishing the freeze-frame POSE, Zoe turned and walked back to the cheers and screams of the audience. The route back is the same as when you came out, and you still pass through the middle stage.

Unlike the other models, the other models won't appear until she re-enters the exit tunnel and returns backstage. So as Zoe turned around and returned, the cheers and screams at the scene slowly subsided.

The audience made a small noise, and there was live music. As Zoe walked back a quarter of the way to the stage, the music of "Wild Bees Flying" slowly disappeared, replaced by a melody that was very familiar to most of the audience and Xiao Yao's singing.

That part of "Wild Bee Flying" was just performed by Xiao Yao in order to match the opening effect, only a small part was intercepted, and Xiao Yao's performance repertoire was not a pure piano piece "Wild Bee Flying", but an English song.

"hen Your Legs Don't ork Like They Used To Before...", Xiao Yao leaned forward slightly, put his mouth in front of the microphone in front of him and sang.

In the opening performance track of the Eva show this time, Xiao Yao performed the song "ThinkingOutLoud". It's just that Xiao Yao made some changes in the arrangement during this performance, reducing the proportion of some guitars, and increasing the piano part, and his live performance has also changed from singing while playing the guitar to singing while playing the piano. In this way, the whole song also gives people a different feeling.

This song with the worst results in Xiao Yao's "Singer" competition last year has become the most well-known song overseas among Xiao Yao's solo solo works, even if the arrangement and performance method have been changed, the melody and lyrics have not changed. Whether it is a foreign audience or a Chinese audience, they are very familiar with this song.

Hearing this song, many people unconsciously appeared in front of their eyes the sweet and beautiful pas de deux in the MV, so the cheers and screams that were gradually decreasing suddenly increased a few points.

The beach singing/concert for the models during Xiao Yao's swimsuit special made a deep impression on the models. After that, at least the models who participated in the swimsuit special shoot have deliberately found Xiao Yao's English songs and listened to them many times. When she heard this song, Zoe smiled even brighter, as if she remembered the happy time in the swimsuit special.

When Zoe passed by Xiao Yao again, she didn't walk over directly, but stopped, turned to face Xiao Yao, stretched out her right hand and supported her elbow on the cover of the piano Xiao Yao played, and the whole person bent down, rested her chin on her right hand clenched into a fist, and looked at Xiao Yao with a slightly intoxicated smile. Xiao Yao didn't seem surprised, and while playing and singing to himself, he looked back with a smile.

"Wow~" Looking at this picture, the screams of the audience in the audience rang out again.

Zoe didn't last long, though. After about two seconds, Zoe straightened up again and continued to walk down the aisle at the back of the stage.

As Zoe walked into the aisle, another model appeared at the entrance of the aisle and walked to the straight catwalk path on the left side of the stage.

The regular catwalk path is on the periphery of the stage, closer to the audience, so in the process of walking, the models also maintain the usual characteristics of the Eva show, walking the standard steps under their feet, waving their arms on top, making various movements to interact with the audience.

Xiao Yao and the piano on the middle stage are both located on the right side of the stage, facing the direction of the left side of the stage that the regular models of this unit take when they appear. Although the distance was a little farther, the second model also turned her head to look at Xiao Yao when she walked to a position about the same level as Xiao Yao, and gave him a flying kiss.

Xiao Yao, who played and sang by himself, neither looked down at the piano keys, nor tilted his head and shook his head, but kept looking at the models in front of him for a long time. Therefore, Xiao Yao naturally saw the movements of the second model, so he smiled and nodded, which was regarded as a response to the other party.

"I'll go!" Xiao Yao is so familiar with Eva's models!" The audience members who noticed these details whispered.

"Envy?" said someone next to him, "People who have participated in this year's Eva's swimsuit special are at least a dozen familiar Eva models, and they are all real Eva angels, and this does not include our Chinese models! If you mix in next year's Eva swimsuit special, you will definitely be able to know more than a dozen Eva models." ”

"Swimsuit special?Who doesn't want to, but can you go if you want to?Do you think everyone is Xiao Yao's demon?" the man in front sighed.

There are more than 40 models in this year's Eva show, and Xiao Yao knows less than half, and there are only more than ten who are really familiar. There are more than 20 models in the first unit, and not all of them are known or familiar to Xiao Yao. However, no matter whether you know each other or not, whether you are familiar with it or not, as long as the other party interacts with him when he appears on the catwalk, Xiao Yao still smiles and nods one by one, giving the other party a certain response.

Although Xiao Yao, who is playing and singing by himself, has no free hands and mouth, just by virtue of his eyes and eyebrows, Xiao Yao can make a variety of different expressions, and the various reactions he makes are not single. Among them, the squinting smile, the funny eyebrows, and the surprise of ~rounding the eyes.

Of course, Xiao Yao's surprised expression was not a response to a model's interaction, but an accident on the field. About three-quarters of the way through the session, a model accidentally fell on the stage during the catwalk.

This accidental fall has something to do with the clothes on the model. The outermost part of her outermost costume resembled a tuxedo, with a large piece of tulle dragging its length to the floor at the back of her lower body. This piece of tulle is relatively wide, and the model also needs to lift the tulle behind her like a skirt during the catwalk. And even if it was lifted, part of the tail of this tulle was dragged to the ground.

The model, perhaps overly excited to interact with the audience, waved her arms a little wider, waved part of her skirt that was originally behind her to her feet, and stepped on it. The stage floor of the performance is relatively smooth, and the gauzy skirt cushion on it is easier to slip. When the high heels on her feet stepped on her gauze skirt, the whole person immediately lost her balance, and she held part of the edge of the skirt in her hand and waved it subconsciously, which made her center of gravity even more unstable, so she immediately softened her feet, and the whole person knelt on the floor at once.

"Ah~"

Seeing a model fall on the stage, the audience below immediately burst into an exclamation.

The place where the model fell was near the front of the stage, which was originally out of Xiao Yao's sight, but when he heard the audience's exclamations, Xiao Yao immediately turned his head to look over.

Although it is not uncommon for models to fall down by mistake on the show, it is relatively rare, at least Xiao Yao has not seen it with his own eyes, so looking at the model kneeling on the ground, Xiao Yao couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

Despite his surprised expression, Xiao Yao's on-the-spot reaction was still very good, and the movements in his hands and the singing in his mouth were not affected. Not only did the singing and piano sound not be interrupted, but even the rhythm continued to be performed without disorder.

After being surprised, Xiao Yao's brows furrowed unconsciously.

Although he has not personally seen the fall mistakes of models on the show, Xiao Yao has also seen some in various video materials. In comparison, the model who made the mistake was a little too slow to react. She knelt on the floor for about ten seconds, until another model behind her walked up to her and held out his hand to her, and she was helped to her feet. One of the models in the back waved her hand forward, and the fallen model took another step and walked to the place where the POSE was placed in front of the center of the stage.

Seeing that the catwalk continued, Xiao Yao took his eyes back. However, he was also keenly aware that the entire rhythm of the catwalk behind was disrupted. The model behind the fallen model had to stand aside and wait for the fallen model to finish his presentation. And the model who had already appeared in the back had to move forward step by step, and it was estimated that he would have to stand aside and wait for a while when he got to the front. And further back, the models who were supposed to appear were blocked at the entrance of the passage. The models, who were originally almost equidistant from each other, walked to the path, and a large gap appeared on the side of the stage.

Although Xiao Yao could only see the situation on the left side of the stage in front of him, he knew that the right side of the stage behind him at this time must also be a huge vacancy. Xiao Yao shook his head in his heart, and refocused on his performance, while paying attention to the follow-up models.

Ten seconds later, the figure of the model appeared again at the entrance of the passage. After this short adjustment, the catwalk on the field returned to its original order and rhythm, and it seemed that this little episode had just passed. However, Xiao Yao soon realized another problem.

The catwalk was rehearsed in advance, and the length of the catwalk was the same as the length of the song performed, but due to this accident, there were some deviations in the coordination.

When the last model in this unit walked to the position at the front of the stage and finished posing, and just started to walk back from the other side, Xiao Yao's song was all over. In other words, the last model walked back for about ten seconds, and he had to walk back quietly without a musical background.

Although Xiao Yao's mistake is not Xiao Yao's responsibility, since he is a guest performer of this show, Xiao Yao still hopes that this performance can be as perfect as possible. The model's fall was an accident, and the reaction behind it was also beyond Xiao Yao's control, and it was impossible for him to stop the performance and run to pick up the fallen model, but in the end, Xiao Yao could still make some efforts to make up for it.

Xiao Yao was a little away from the rest of the band, he couldn't speak while he was singing, and he couldn't make the other party understand what he meant just by making eye contact, so this remedy could only be made by Xiao Yao himself.

“Oh~Maybe e Found Love Right here e Are,And e Found Love Right here e Are~”

After singing the whole song, the other members of the band stopped as they did during the rehearsal, but Xiao Yao did not stop, but repeated the last two lines of the song again with the piano accompaniment, just to make up for the ten seconds of space.

When there are fewer instruments to accompany the singer, the singer's singing voice is more obvious, so the accompaniment of a single instrument is also a test of singing skills. However, Xiao Yao's performance is very good, with only the accompaniment of the piano, Xiao Yao's singing voice that has become extremely obvious does not give people an abrupt feeling, not only is the connection very natural, but also gives the audience a unique feeling similar to appreciating a cappella.

The Eva show was rehearsed, and everyone on Eva's side knew what Xiao Yao's performance was originally like, so they heard Xiao Yao's song add an extra sentence at the end. The ear monitors worn by Xiao Yao during the performance were used to listen to the live accompaniment and his own singing, and he could not communicate with the communication equipment of the staff. Therefore, Eva's staff also knew that Xiao Yao did this because of his own on-the-spot reaction, not from the instructions of any Eva staff.

"Thank God!" muttered Elbert, who was standing on the side of the passage with some irritation, "Jan helped us again!"
