Chapter 879: Quitting the Band

"I really don't have much faith in you. Xiao Yao smiled, "I have taught you a few self-defense techniques, and I have not systematically taught you to fight." But Kim has played a secret agent before, he has learned martial arts, and if he passes the audition after a while, he will continue to learn. If you really get into the ring, I really think you can beat her!"

"You~" Sun Tingting glared at Xiao Yaodao.

"But," Xiao Yao hurriedly continued, "Just because you can't beat it now doesn't mean you won't be able to beat it in the future." As long as you don't plan to kill or cripple her, I will definitely be able to teach you to win against her, so that you can see her and beat her once!"

"You teach me?" Sun Tingting glanced at Xiao Yao and said, "After you taught me those few self-defense techniques before, you said that I would be enough for a few strokes, and there was no need to learn again." Now that you're so active in teaching me, do you just want to see the two of us fight in the ring? You're proud that someone is fighting for you, aren't you?"

"I didn't!" Xiao Yao said with an aggrieved face, "Obviously, you said that you wanted to find her to fight in the ring, but I just told the truth." If I don't teach you, do you want to watch you get beaten by her in the ring?"

"You~" Sun Tingting wanted to say something more, but as soon as she said a word, she was interrupted by Xiao Yao.

"Here!" Xiao Yao suddenly looked in the direction of the café door, raised his arm and greeted.

Sun Tingting followed and looked over and found that Dean and the others had come to the café, so she put down the previous topic and resumed her smiling expression.

Since Dean said before that it was the band, Mu Ying, Zhou Jingyi and others did not appear, and only four people from the band came. Dean and the others saw Xiao Yao beckoning, walked over to Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting and sat down.

After the waiter left, Xiao Yao asked straight to the point: "What do you have to tell me?" Is the band going to release a new album again, ask me to write songs?"

"It's not about releasing an album, it's not about writing songs for you, it's about showing you together. Dean also got straight to the point, "Our band is planning to do a concert tour in the second half of the year. Because of your relationship, two stops in the tour are in China, namely Yanjing and Shencheng in Huaxia. ”

"Do you want me to be your concert guest at those two stops in Huaxia?" Xiao Yao said, "If time permits, I will try my best to participate." ”

"No, no, no, it's not the two stops in Huaxia, and it's not a concert guest. Dean shook his head and said, "You're already part of our band, and we want you to join us on this tour as a member of the band." I mean, all the concerts. ”

"All the times? I'm afraid not. Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "In this way, you tell me first, how long will the whole concert last? From when to when, how long is the preparation time for the early rehearsal?"

"It's not finalized yet. "But the current plan is that this tour will be held for about 20 concerts, mainly in North America, Europe and the Far East, and is expected to last for three months, from September to November, with about a month of preparation time." The concert starts in the U.S. and ends in the U.S., and if you can, we hope you'll come to the U.S. in August to rehearse with us. ”

"So long?" Xiao Yao shook his head, "I don't think I can agree." ”

"Is it because of time?" Dean asked.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded.

"I know," Dean said, "the concert takes a long time, and we were a little worried about your schedule. But we have contacted your agent, Miss Fang, and asked about your work schedule. She told us that you don't have a definite work plan for the second half of the year!"

"What? have you contacted my agent?" Xiao Yao wondered, "but why did she tell me about it?"

"It's not her fault!" Dean said, "We know you can't take a job, and the final decision is up to you." We contacted Miss Fang just to know if you have a work plan arranged in the second half of the year, and it is unlikely that you will agree to us. Anyway, we are coming to Huaxia to attend the award ceremony, and we will see you, so instead of letting Miss Fang tell you, it is better for us to tell you in person. So after learning that you didn't have a work plan arranged for the second half of the year, we asked Miss Fang to help us keep it confidential and prepare to surprise you. ”

"I see!" Xiao Yao nodded.

After so many years of cooperation, Fang still has a very tacit understanding with Xiao Yao, and he knows Xiao Yao very well. If it was someone else, Fang still wouldn't agree. But this band, Fang is still aware of Xiao Yao's relationship with several of them, and it is reasonable to agree to keep it secret for them.

"Can't you really come with us to the concert?" Dean continued, "Miss Fang told us that you don't have specific work arrangements for the second half of the year. Do you have any work plans that even Miss Fang doesn't know about?"

"The work plan for the second half of the year, there is really no work plan for the time being!" Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile.

"Then why?" Dean wondered.

"But I have a very important life plan for the second half of this year!" Xiao Yao continued.

"Life plan?" Dean repeated.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao took Sun Tingting's hand and put it on the table, and said with a smile, "Don't you know? ”

"What? You've already proposed to Tiana?"

"When are you getting married?"

All four members of the band were surprised.

Xiao Yao proposed in public in a public event like the Masters Game, but the Masters Game was the All-Star Celebrity Game in China, not the All-Star Celebrity Game of American professional basketball. Although Xiao Yao's proposal in public is a very, very hot topic in the media and on the Internet, the popularity of this topic is mainly in China.

As the world's number one entertainment country, although the US media will also retweet some hot news from other countries, the intensity of this report is very limited.

Xiao Yao has a certain reputation in the United States, but after all, Xiao Yao is a Chinese star who mainly develops in China, and if it were not for some explosive news, the American media's interest in him would be relatively limited. If Xiao Yao is going to marry an American star, maybe the American media will report it in a big way, but Xiao Yao, a Chinese star, proposed to a Chinese girl. Whether that girl is a star or not, it is a very normal thing in the eyes of the American media.

However, it is a very rare thing for Xiao Yao to confess with the personal data he played in that game, and there are also media in the United States who have reported on this incident, but the meaning of "5201314" comes from the homonym of Chinese, due to the differences between the two Chinese and culture, Americans do not know the meaning of those numbers, and they have to explain it in passing, so the American media has not reported much on this matter, and the circulation is very limited.

Xiao Yao's public proposal was more than a month ago. During this time, these people have not seen the news of Xiao Yao's marriage proposal in the United States, and they have never been to Huaxia, so they really don't know that Xiao Yao has successfully proposed.

"You really don't know?" Xiao Yao smiled, "I proposed to Tiana more than a year ago, in front of everyone at the Huaxia Basketball League All-Star Celebrity Game. ”

"Congratulations!" said Samion.

"Congratulations!" Dean said as he remembered what he had said in the car earlier, and his expression was a little complicated.

"Congratulations!" followed George and Mike.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao said, "We plan to hold a wedding in the second half of this year. The venue for the wedding has not yet been decided, but the date is likely to be in October. Getting married is a very important thing and we will definitely have a lot to do before and after the wedding. So, I can't promise to go on a concert tour with you!"

"Alright!" Dean said helplessly, "I hope you can have time to attend the next concert!"

Xiao Yao moved out of the reason for getting married, and Dean could no longer insist that Xiao Yao join the concert.

"Even if I can attend your next concert, I think I'll be a guest performer, not a band member!" Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"What are you talking about?" Dean said, "you're part of the band, why are you a guest performer?"

"You want to officially quit the band?" Samion asked, looking at Xiao Yao.

"What? really?" Dean and the other three were shocked, and they all stared at Xiao Yaodao.

"Actually, I'm not a member of the band for a long time. Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "I'm in Huaxia, you are all in the United States, how can there be a band whose members have been separated for a long time, and they are still in two countries thousands of miles apart?"

"That's because we can't come to China to develop, and you don't want to come to the United States!" Dean said.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "But I am from Huaxia, you are Americans, you can't leave everything in the United States to come to China, and I can't leave everything in China to go to the United States." I joined your band for fun and to help you get through the occasion and complete the school celebration performance. When I finished my exchange at Westbridge Middle School, I should have officially quit the band. The reason why I didn't do that in the first place was mainly because of our relationship. ”

"So you're going to quit now, you're going to give up our relationship?" Dean said with some excitement, "Do you want to cut ties with us completely?"

"Of course not!" Xiao Yao immediately shook his head and said, "No matter what, that year in Xiqiao Middle School was a very precious and unforgettable time in my life, and we will always be friends!"

"I kept my name in the band because of our relationship and because of all of our careers. Xiao Yao said, "At that time, our band had just gained a little fame in the United States, and I was not particularly famous in the United States and China. In terms of career development, I needed you at that time, and you needed me. Keeping my name in the band and putting me and you all together in some form is better for all of us in our careers. ”

"You're too modest. Sarmien shook his head, "We did need you then, but I don't think you needed us. You never needed us, both at Westbridge Middle School and later. You keep your name in the band just to help us easily. ”

"Well, I agree that you're officially quitting the band!" Samion continued.

"What, Sammy, are you crazy?" Dean said to Samion in disbelief, almost yelling.

"Dean, haven't you noticed that from the time we met Jan to the present, he has been helping us, but we can hardly help him!" Sarmien still looked at Dean very calmly and said, "How long do you want to tie up Jan until now?"

"No, Sammy," Xiao Yao said, "if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be on stage at the Oscars." That incident was a very important resume in my acting career, and it was very important for my career development in Huaxia. ”

"Come on!" Samion shook his head, "with your ability at the time, you can apply to the school to perform a separate show at the school celebration performance." You are an exchange student, and the level of performance is much higher than ours, and it is impossible for the school to disagree. You'll reunite with Betty, you'll be a guest at Betty's house and meet the soundtrack for the animated film. "Immortals" is your previous work, and when that soundtrack asks you for help, you can just as much get that song out.

With your relationship with Betty and Keith, even without us, the soundtrack would have used your song. It's not like there haven't been foreign performers at the Oscars, and even if you're not American, we'll be on the stage without us. Perhaps, without us, you would have received more attention. ”

"However, we also came to Huaxia to help Yang perform, that Huaxia variety show, the final!" Dean reminded angrily.

"But we didn't help him win the championship, did we?" Samion said, "and it wasn't just us who helped him in the final, there was also a Korean star." I think if he wants to, maybe he can invite Keith and them to Huaxia to be his guest performers, maybe the results will be better, but he doesn't want to trouble Keith and them. We only came to Huaxia at that time, so we were found by him!"

"Sammy...," Xiao Yao said as he looked at Samien.

"Don't say it, listen to me," Samian stopped with a wave of his hand, "You've been developing in China all these years, and not just in music. You are originally an actor, and your focus over the years has obviously been on acting. Our band is insignificant to your career, and you are only maintaining it because of your relationship with us. Really?"

Xiao Yao smiled bitterly and didn't make any response.

"I know you're not interested in concerts at all. Sarmien continued, "Your wedding to Tiana is just a good reason, even if you don't have this thing, you don't have any other work arrangements, you will find other reasons to refuse, right?"

"How do you know?" Xiao Yao hadn't answered, but Dean was unconvinced, "That's a world-class concert." Even if Jan is an actor, he is still a singer, he has not given up music, and he is still producing musical works. As a singer with aspirations, who wouldn't want to hold a world-class concert?"

"He doesn't want to, at least not now. Sarmien pointed at Xiao Yao.

"How do you know?" Dean asked again.

"Because Yang is in China, no, he is more well-known around the world than our band. Even in the United States, he is no worse than us. "If he wanted to hold a concert, he would have held a solo concert a long time ago, whether it was in China or in other countries in the world." The world tour is not a problem for him at all, and the results may be even better than ours, but did he have a solo concert?"

"Dean, Jan has his own business!" Samion said, "I think it's time for us to let Xiao Yao go!"

"Jan said that quitting the band doesn't mean we don't have anything to do with it anymore, we're still friends!" Samion added, seeing that Dean didn't speak.

"Okay, I agree that Jan is officially quitting the band!" Dean thought about it for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth.
