Entertaining Children

At 7:30 p.m. on October 4th, this much-watched star charity competition officially kicked off.

The players in this celebrity charity game are all stars. Although there is no red carpet ceremony like the Penguin Celebrity Game in the previous life, it has the same process of introducing players as the All-Star Game.

Accompanied by the dazzling lights and explosive music, the star players ran out of the player channel in turn under the introduction of the host. Every time a player appeared, there would be loud voices shouting the names of the players in the auditorium. The players also waved to the audience with smiles on their faces, and stood on the court amidst the cheers of the audience.

Among all the players, the two basketball superstars from the United States attracted the most attention and received the biggest cheers. The second is that Zhuo Zhiyuan, who has attracted a lot of attention before the game and is predicted to be the most likely to win the MVP of this game, is extremely popular. A lot of his fans obviously came to the scene. When he appeared on the stage, there was a neat and loud cheering slogan on the scene, and more than a dozen support lights with his name were held up high by the fans. It became a piece, and it also attracted the attention of the cameras on the scene, and specially gave a shot to the support light sign.

When Xiao Yao appeared on the stage, the cheers from the audience were not small, but compared with Zhuo Zhiyuan, the momentum was much weaker. There is no support sign, not to mention, even the shouts are relatively chaotic, and it sounds disorganized and undisciplined.

After all the star players made their appearances, the host with a microphone also walked up to the players standing in a row and interviewed several star players.

The host first approached two American basketball superstars. These two are coming to China for the first time, and the host asked very routine questions about feelings. The two briefly talked about their feelings and impressions of China. They basically talked about the good aspects. One praised China's culture, the other praised China's food, and finally thanked the fans for their enthusiasm. Although the two answers were more polite and official, their attitudes were very friendly, which also aroused another huge cheer from the audience.

Zhuo Zhiyuan was the third person interviewed by the host. Zhuo Zhiyuan has always been developing in Huaxia, so naturally he can't talk about his feelings and impressions of Huaxia. The host asked him about his preparations for this competition, and asked him to predict whether he can win in this competition. to how many points. Even standing next to the three professional players, Zhuo Zhiyuan answered the host very domineeringly: "It's hard to say how many points I get, but I'm here tonight to be the MVP of this game!"

"You still say so proactively at this time, do you still think this is an image packaging and publicity strategy for him by his agency or public relations team?" Hearing Zhuo Zhiyuan's domineering declaration, Guo Qi nudged him Xiao Yao beside him smiled softly.

"He came back from the United States, where basketball is the best. It's normal to have self-confidence and a flamboyant personality." Xiao Yao replied in a low voice, "Who doesn't want to win the MVP? He just said what's in his heart.

"

"Then if you are interviewed, would you dare to say that in public?" Guo Qi asked again with a smile.

"Why dare not?" Xiao Yao laughed.

"Very confident!" The host smiled and praised Zhuo Zhiyuan, and then noticed Xiao Yao and Guo Qi whispering, so he came over and asked Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao, you and Guo Qi seem to have a very good relationship. It looks like it's all whispering, can you tell me what you guys are talking about?"

A total of four players will be interviewed before the game, one professional player and one star player for each team. The specific personnel have not been designated and will be determined by the host himself. The host must be looking for someone with high popularity to interview. Among the professional players, the two American stars are more popular. In terms of performing arts stars, Zhuo Zhiyuan of the red team is obviously more popular than the others, while Xiao Yao of the blue team is more popular. The popularity at the scene was not as high as that of Zhuo Zhiyuan, but his popularity was not low compared to other acting stars, and he himself was a very topical character, and he was also an excellent interviewee.

The moderator is interviewed by a member of each team in turn. After interviewing Zhuo Zhiyuan, the host should have continued to interview a member of the blue team. Seeing Xiao Yao and Guo Qi talking, the host took advantage of the situation and handed the microphone to Xiao Yao.

"We are discussing tactics!" Xiao Yao replied seriously.

"Ah? Discuss tactics? Now? You two?" The host was a little confused.

"Okay, that's nonsense. The tactical arrangement is in the charge of our head coach Wei." Xiao Yao couldn't hold back his smile and said, "Actually, I was just asking Brother Qi to pass me more passes for a while."

"Haha~" Xiao Yao's answer immediately made the scene burst into laughter. Trilogy: Deception

"Now we are starting to buy our professional players," the host also smiled, and then asked, "You let him pass the ball to you more, that is, you want to have more opportunities to perform and get more points, right? Do you have any ideas about the MVP of this game?"

"No." Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I'm the youngest of all the players, and there are so many brothers, sisters and uncles at the scene."

"Hmm~" The person standing next to Xiao Yao turned his head to look at Xiao Yao, and stared at Xiao Yao with a "hmm".

Seeing Zhang Yi staring at him, Xiao Yao quickly changed his words, "No, there is no uncle, there are so many brothers, sisters and seniors present, and everyone played very well. I came to play today with a learning attitude, and I can play well. It is enough to be happy and have a good performance, and I have no idea of ​​being an MVP."

Zhang Yi is nearly fifty years old and is the oldest among the players. He is the only player over the age of 40 among all the players, and he is a bit older than the others. Even compared with the two retired American basketball stars, he is more than ten years older. However, he has always been a tough guy on the screen and on the screen. He has maintained a good figure and physical condition, and his personality is not old-fashioned. He has long warned others not to call him uncle during training.

Seeing Xiao Yao change his words obediently under Zhang Yi's stare, the audience burst into laughter again.

"Pretend!" Only Guo Qi rolled her eyes in contempt and said in her heart.

"A very smart and humble young man," the host laughed for a while, then turned to Guo Qi who was beside him, "I just noticed that Guo Qi has an interesting expression, do you have a different opinion? "

"No," Guo Qi shook her head and said, "Xiao Yao is more modest, but his game is actually pretty good."

"Oh? Have you ever played with him?" The host said, "In my impression, I haven't seen Xiao Yao play much."

"Well, I did!" Guo Qi gritted her teeth and nodded.

"Actually, I don't play much." Xiao Yao took the initiative to take over the conversation, "That is, I played with my classmates at school. I haven't played on TV shows. It's normal if you haven't seen it."

"Oh?" Guo Qi was not the host's scheduled interview subject, but just inserted these two sentences. Hearing Xiao Yao's words, the host also took advantage of the opportunity to refocus on Xiao Yao, "playing in school , Have you ever been on the school team? You must know that there are some of us on the court today who were the captains of the school basketball team when they were students."

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I'm just playing around, I haven't been on the school team."

After Xiao Yao participated in the school's basketball game in high school, the school basketball team had the idea of ​​recruiting him into the basketball team, but it didn't take long for Xiao Yao to decide to go to the United States as an international exchange student. It was the third year of high school, when I was studying more intensely. There is no national high school basketball league in China, and Xiao Yao's Yanjing No. 2 Middle School is a school that is famous for its enrollment rate. Basketball has neither tradition nor attention, so Xiao Yao was not recruited into the basketball school team in the end.

Huaxia does have a national college basketball league, but Shenxi is a film and television school, an art school, and doesn't care much about basketball. It won't and can't recruit basketball talents. Every year, the regional preliminaries are mowed. object. Xiao Yao entered school as a famous star. He took a lot of leave during his freshman year. It was very difficult to guarantee the time for class. If he had time to participate in the training of the school team, he naturally missed the basketball team.

"Oh," the host nodded, "Although you haven't been on the school team, it doesn't mean you can't play basketball well. Being able to invite you to participate in the game shows that you play basketball well. We are also looking forward to seeing you Performance."

Speaking of this, the host looked at Miao Cheng of the blue team next to him with a guilty conscience, and thought, "At least in terms of body, he should be stronger than Miao Cheng and Cai Yue."

All the players this time can play basketball, but if we want to say that they play well, we need to add a basic in front. Because this time, one of the red and blue teams didn't play very well. Miao Cheng of the blue team and Cai Yue of the red team are both comedians. They are only about 1.734 meters tall, and they are overweight. It's not that a fat man who is not too tall will definitely not know how to play basketball, but judging from the images and skills shown in the two's stage performances and film and television works, they don't look like good basketball players at all.

The short interview is over, and the next step is for the players to warm up before the game. The host left the field, the staff brought some basketballs, and the two teams also occupied half of the court, warming up before the game. How can youth not be arrogant

The warm-up before the game is relatively casual. The head coach does not specify movements, and the players are also free to play. Therefore, this pre-match warm-up time also became the players' first performance time. In addition to the more ordinary practice of shooting to find the touch, some players also made fancy dribbles and fancy layups, which also aroused bursts of cheers from the audience.

Xiao Yao moved his body a bit, and after moving all the muscles, bones and joints of his body, he picked up a basketball on the sidelines, walked to the free throw line, and started free throw practice in a regular manner. And after the warm-up time started, Xiao Yao would take two shots by the way when he went to the basket to pick up the basketball and walked to the free throw line. Except for a routine dribble, he didn't do anything else, he only practiced free throws.

"Hey, why don't you keep a low profile and just practice free throws?" Guo Qi asked again.

"Then what are you practicing? Dunk?" Xiao Yao looked at Guo Qi and said, "You don't want to play the alley-oop dunk now, do you? Isn't that our secret weapon?"

"Of course we don't reveal our secret weapon now," Guo Qi said, "Even if you want to save energy and don't want to dunk, you can still play crotch dribbles, pull up jump shots, and switch hands for layups and other tricks for the audience. take a look."

"No need," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I'm going to practice 20 free throws first, and then just practice shooting and ordinary layups. When I'm playing tricks and waiting for the game, I'm going to warm up honestly now. After finishing speaking, Xiao Yao practiced free throws in a regular manner.

Fifteen minutes later, the pre-match warm-up was over, and all players returned to the bench to sit down. The staff quickly cleaned up the warm-up basketball, placed musical instruments, audio equipment and microphone stands in the center of the court, and made preparations for the pre-match performance.

Although this Star Charity Competition was also organized for the reconstruction of the earthquake-stricken area, more than a month has passed since the earthquake, and it was a festive day during the National Day. The general environment is no longer so sad and depressing, so this time The Celebrity Charity Tournament is more lively and more entertaining. Not only was there a lively appearance ceremony, but also cheerleading performances were arranged during the long timeouts, intermissions and intermissions of the game. Before the start of the game, a pre-match performance was specially arranged, and star singers were invited to sing live.

According to Chen Yang's meaning, he originally wanted Xiao Yao to be the guest of this opening performance. It is feasible in terms of time to change clothes after the opening performance and then play. Xiao Yao’s physical strength is also sufficient to cope with it. However, some of the lineups of performing stars on both sides have developed simultaneously in the film and music world, and there are also those who can perform and sing live. For several of them, Xiao Yao felt that it would be too special to have an opening performance and play on the court, so he did not agree to Chen Yang's request to "make progress".

Chen Yang, who had already searched four or five songs from Xiao Yao, did not hesitate. At the same time, because Xiao Yao gave the reason that he wanted to concentrate on playing and not want to be distracted, they did not invite other star players to be the opening performance guests. Instead, another popular singer was invited to perform the opening performance.

The singer who was invited to do the opening performance was named Lin Jin, and he was a very talented male singer-songwriter. He is also one of the fastest rising male singers in the past few years. He also participated in the "Singer" program last year. Although he is not as enchanting as Xiao Yao this year, his performance is also very good. Seeing the small-eyed male singer appearing in the middle of the court with the band as the opening performer of the competition, the audience burst into applause.

Perhaps influenced by Xiao Yao's performance of original new songs in every public occasion, Lin Jin, who is also a singer-songwriter, also performed an original new song that he has not released yet. The song is very nice, and the reaction from the audience is also very good. During the performance, the audience's applause was basically uninterrupted. When the rock song sang the climax of the chorus, some audience members stood up excitedly from their seats and cheered loudly.

"I heard from Brother Yang that he originally wanted to ask you to be the opening performance guest. Looking at him now, do you regret it?" Guo Qi, who was sitting on the bench, pointed to Lin Jin who was cheering from the audience. , asked Xiao Yao with a smile.

"What is there to regret?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "If I were a performer, I would have to go back to the dressing room to change after the performance. Then I can only be a substitute for this game, and I will definitely not succeed. I would rather be a The team members will play first." Before the game started, Wei Zhiping announced today's five players, and Xiao Yao was one of them.

After Lin Jin's song performance was over, the staff quickly came up to remove the audio equipment and musical instruments, and cleared the venue. The lights on the scene were brightly lit, and three referees stepped onto the court to take their positions. The five starters of the red and blue teams also stood up from their bench chairs, and walked onto the court amidst the cheers and encouragements of the substitute players.

This celebrity charity basketball game has officially begun.
