"The children are still young, and there is still a lot to learn and improve in stage performance." The agent named John Lee said, "The guests performing at the Billboard Awards are all top artists in the world. This time they are not As for the performers, we have applied to the organizer to watch the rehearsal of the performers, so that they can learn how top artists communicate with all aspects during the rehearsal stage, how to prepare a perfect performance, and enhance their ability and experience in this area.”

"Another one came to watch the rehearsal." Nicky Thompson thought of Xiao Yao on the side, and said in his heart, "But their formation is much bigger than Xiao Yao's, and it is also much more formal and serious. No, they are taking the initiative Here, Yang was called by Amy, and he didn't intend to come, so naturally he didn't have a manager to accompany him, and he didn't contact the organizer either."

"Oh," Amy Hatton nodded, and said strangely, "Then shouldn't you be in the performance hall now?"

"Mr. Scott is rehearsing in front." John Lee said, "The details of his stage performance have all been finalized and will not be changed. Now it is repeated and familiar, and it should end soon. We know that Thompson Miss is the next rehearsal artist, and she has already arrived, so I want to visit first."

"Miss Thompson, this is our new single released last month, please give me your advice!" One of the seven young men took out a box, bent down and handed it to Nicky Thompson with both hands.

"This..." Nicky Thompson looked at the young man with some hesitation.

"This is a tradition in the Korean entertainment industry, and it is also the habit of many Korean artists." Xiao Yao said while sitting on the sofa.

Xiao Yao participated in the recording of Korean music TV programs with the Korean idol girl group Gstar, and he has seen and understood the Korean entertainment circle, especially the music idol circle.

"Who is this?" Attracted by Xiao Yao's voice, John Lee turned his head to look at him, and asked Amy Hatton in surprise.

When he came in just now, he saw an Asian young man and a white young man sitting on the sofa on one side of the lounge. The clothes of the two were relatively ordinary, and they looked relatively burly. When the people like him came in, they did not do anything. John Lee thought that the two were Nicky Thompson's bodyguards or drivers. When the Asian man interjected, it was obvious that his guess was wrong.

"This is Jan Xiao, a superstar from China!" Amy Hatton pointed at Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis and introduced, "The one next to him is Mr. Haggis, an American. Mr. Xiao's friend."

"It's also his bodyguard!" Tim Haggis added while sitting on the sofa and waving his hands. He was not interested in these Korean stars, so he simply waved his hands to signal, and didn't stand up from the sofa at all.

"Yan Xiao?" John Lee was not interested in Tim Haggis, but looked at Xiao Yao unexpectedly.

"Xiao Yaoxi?" The seven members of that group were also very surprised.

"Hello, I'm Xiao Yao." Xiao Yao stood up from the sofa, walked up to several people and nodded slightly. He still speaks English, but changed his name to Chinese pronunciation.

"Mr. Xiao, are you also a performer who came to the rehearsal?" John Lee asked, "As far as I know, your name doesn't seem to be on the list of performers for this award ceremony."

"Look at me, do you look like a guest performer who came to the rehearsal?" Xiao Yao pointed at his clothes and smiled.

"Then why are you here?" John Lee asked strangely.

"Mr. Xiao is the stage director we invited," Amy Hatton said, "he is here to provide advice on Nicky's stage performance."

"Wow~" John Lee said in surprise.

"Actually, I don't think I can help much," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Actually, like you, I want to see how the world's top artists rehearse.

It is with the purpose of learning. It's just that I'm not even a guest at the ceremony, and I don't even have the opportunity to apply to the organizer to watch the rehearsal. In order to fulfill my wish, Ms. Hatton asked me to be a so-called "stage director," " Xiao Yao said when talking about the stage director, raised his hands and bent two fingers to make a "double quotation mark" gesture Said, "Temporarily let me join their team and brought me in. "

"This~hehe!"

John Lee doesn't really believe what Xiao Yao said, but if Xiao Yao can attend the ceremony if he wants to be a guest, it means he looks down on the Billboard Awards Ceremony. After all, Xiao Yao hasn't been active in the United States for the past two years. . It feels inappropriate to follow Xiao Yao's words. He didn't know how to answer Xiao Yao's words, so he could only laugh twice.

"Xiao Yaoxi, you are too modest." A young man in the group said, "The performance stage you designed when you were eighteen years old was so good, and it must be even better now."

"Miss Thompson, you have made a very good choice." The young man turned his head and said to Nicky Thompson, "If Jan was your stage director, I believe your performance will definitely be the best in the entire awards ceremony. Best show ever!"

"The most exciting?" Xiao Yao smiled, "You think highly of me too!"

"When you were eighteen?" Amy Hatton sensed something, looked at the group and said, "You guys knew Mr. Xiao before?"

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, "We once participated in a music TV program co-produced by Chinese and Korean television stations. I was eighteen years old that year."

"I only participated in one episode," Xiao Yao turned to the Korean group and said, "I didn't expect you guys to remember it!"

"No, to be precise, it should be two episodes, no, it should be three episodes!" said the member of the group who spoke before, "In the first episode, I designed my own stage performance, and in the first episode, I didn't perform it myself, but designed it. There are two performance stages, and there is another episode. We only found out afterwards that the masked DJ on the live stage was you. You participated in a total of three episodes and won three episodes. Of course, we are very impressed."

"Really?" Xiao Yao smiled, "I thought you were impressed because of Mr. Park Dacheng of Sky."

This BTBS group had crossed paths with Xiao Yao before. During the winter vacation of Xiao Yao’s third year in high school, he participated in an electronic music program co-hosted by China and South Korea. At that time, China and South Korea each had two veteran artists as captains, and young artists from their own countries were selected as team members for the competition. Xiao Yao and Chen Chen were members of Shazhou for the first period, and this BTBS group was a boy group group under Park Dacheng at that time.

Before Xiao Yao participated in that show, young Korean artists won three championships in the first four episodes of the show, which was obviously dominant, but after Xiao Yao went, not only won the current championship, but also won the next two episodes. He also worked hard behind the scenes to help Huaxia's artists win two more single-stage championships, which made Huaxia's single-stage championships account for half of the total.

In the first few episodes of that program that year, because the performance of young Korean artists was much better than that of Chinese young artists, the groups under the two captains of South Korea had changed. Generally, after winning the single-stage championship, they will be replaced, and other Korean groups will be invited to compete.

BTBS only went to the fourth episode, one episode earlier than Xiao Yao. Although the fourth period did not win the championship, the results were quite good. Originally thought that after the champion returned to China, after changing to another combination, they would be able to win the next championship and return to China to rest. Unexpectedly, after Xiao Yao joined, Huaxia won three consecutive single-stage championships.

The previous Korean group won three championships in a row, and China won three championships in a row. With such a contrasting result, the Korean groups participating in the next three programs have been criticized by many media and fans in Korea and competed with their peers. Opponent's ridicule.

After the show ended and the group returned to South Korea, the follow-up development was also greatly affected. Almost a year later, the company adjusted their development strategy and shifted their target market from China and South Korea to Europe and the United States. Although they seem to have developed well in Europe and the United States in the past four years, the number of fans seems to be quite large, and the results on various charts after the release of the song are not bad, but the real situation is not as good as it seems on the surface. good.

Although the relationship between South Korea and European and American countries is good, there are still considerable cultural differences between Europe, America and Asia, especially East Asia. It is not so easy for them to push the Hallyu culture to Europe and the United States. Their fans are mainly concentrated in younger middle school students, and most of the European and American audiences and fellow entertainers in the European and American entertainment circles do not recognize and accept them very much. They are far from reaching, and it seems unlikely that they will reach the popularity of Sky Park Dae-sung in the European and American entertainment circles.

The reason why their company changed their strategy and arranged for them to enter the European and American markets was the electronic music program and the subsequent influence of the program. Said to be the most fundamental reason.

When they participated in that program, they were members of Park Dae Sung's team. Their group has been able to develop well in Europe and America in the past few years. Apart from their company and their own efforts, the support and help of Sky Park Dae-sung, who has a good reputation in Europe and America, is also a very important reason. And in that program back then, Xiao Yao had a dispute with Park Dacheng, which made Park Dacheng apologize in public in embarrassment.

Combining all these reasons, their combination naturally did not have a good impression of Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao has a good memory, so he naturally remembers that their group participated in that show back then. Although he didn't know that this group was forced to develop in Europe and America, but he remembered that this group was a member of Park Dae-sung at the time, and he had an unpleasant relationship with Park Dae-sung on the show.

At the beginning, Xiao Yao wasn't sure if this group still remembered and cared about what happened in that show back then, so it was normal. But when he heard them mention the words "eighteen years old" and "the most exciting", which sounded like exaggeration or flattery, but actually meant to set himself up, Xiao Yao was naturally blunt.

Xiao Yao didn't have much interaction with this Korean group in that show, and there was no direct conflict. The only reason they were unhappy with themselves was because they were Park Dacheng's team members at the time, and he had an unpleasant relationship with Park Dacheng, which made Park Dacheng lose face, so Xiao Yao directly named Park Dacheng.

Since there were Amy Hatton and Nicky Thompson beside him, when Xiao Yao talked to the members of that group, they both spoke English, and both Amy Hatton and Nicky Thompson could understand them.

"Sky?" Amy Hatton asked curiously, "Has Mr. Xiao and Mr. Park ever participated in the program?"

"Yan, is there a story between you and Sky?" Nicky Thompson also asked curiously.

Nicky Thompson has been famous for more than five years, and Amy Hatton has been an agent for more than five years. Both of them have experienced the period when Sky became popular in Europe and America, so they naturally know who Xiao Yao is talking about.

"Sorry," the young man in the group bowed slightly to Nicky Thompson and Amy Hatton, "We still have to visit other artists, so let's say goodbye!"

They didn't want to talk about Park Dacheng being forced by Xiao Yao to apologize in public on the show, and they didn't want to hear Xiao Yao tell them about it, so they offered to leave.

"Okay," Nicky Thompson glanced at Xiao Yao, smiled and took the CD case from the young man's hand, "Thank you for your gifts, I will listen!"

"See you in the performance hall later!" John Lee bowed goodbye to Amy Hutton and Nicky Thompson.

"See you later!" The two also bowed slightly to signal.

"Yang, I can see that they don't like you!" After the eight people left, Nicky Thompson said to Xiao Yao, "Can you tell me the story between you?"

"Actually, there is no story between us!" Xiao Yao laughed, "We just participated in a show together, but there is no story!"

"That's related to Sky!" Nicky Thompson said, "You just said that you were only eighteen years old at that time? Sky was more than 20 years older than you, and he should be in his forties at that time. I'm very curious What kind of story can happen between you who are eight years old and Sky who is in your forties!"

"You..." Xiao Yao was about to speak with a smile, but was suddenly interrupted by Nicky Thompson.

"Forget it, don't say it!" Nicky Thompson waved his hand, "You are a liar, I can't believe what you said!"

"Hey, I told you, I didn't lie to you, I just selectively concealed some things." Xiao Yao said angrily.

"Well, I'm worried that you will choose to hide some things again, causing me some misunderstandings!" Nicky Thompson said.

"Jenny, check it out for me!" Nicky Thompson turned to his assistant and said, "When Yang was 18 years old, that was five or six years ago. Five or six years ago, China and South Korea co-produced a music TV program , Yang, BTBS and Sky all participated in that program, so it should be easy to find. You can check all relevant news for me, and you should know what I want to know."

"Okay!" The female assistant nodded, took out her mobile phone and sat on the sofa beside her.
