Xiao Yao didn''t argue with Nicky Thompson. He didn''t really want to talk about the past. When he saw Nicky Thompson''s assistant checking the Internet with his mobile phone, he was even less interested in talking about it.
"Ms. Hatton, may I go to the auditorium to see Mr. Scott rehearse?" Xiao Yao turns to ask Amy Hatton.
"I''ll ask for you. It shouldn''t be a big problem." Amy Hatton nodded.
This question was what they were talking about before. She had promised Xiao Yao, but she was interrupted by the Korean people. Now that Nicky Thompson has made such a promise, Amy Hatton doesn''t intend to go back.
Amy Hatton opened the door and went out, and soon returned to the lounge with a young man with a work card around his neck. Amy haduan gave the two sides a brief introduction. The young man with a work card took Xiao Yao and Tim haggis to the performance hall.
When Xiao Yao and Tim haggis entered the hall, they were rehearsing on the stage. Xiao Yao and Tim haggis took a low-key seat in the front row audience and watched the rehearsal on the stage.
Rehearsing on the stage is a middle-aged white man who looks like he is in his forties.
The middle-aged man named Cody Scott is a very well-known and well-known singer songwriter in the United States. His music style is mainly country music.
At this time, Cordy Scott on the stage was also very rustic. His upper body was a red and white plaid shirt with a brown vest, and his lower body was jeans and boots, a pair of jeans. With a guitar on his back, he plays and sings with the cooperation of the band. What he sings is a song of American country music style.
American country music and folk music are not a concept, but a kind of relatively unique music. Xiao Yao is very interested in this unique type of music in the United States. In addition, the one on the stage, who can be said to be the first-class country musician in the United States, is very strong in both creation and singing. Therefore, even if there may be pause, interruption and adjustment in the middle of the rehearsal, Xiao Yao is also interested in it.
Xiao Yao sat and watched it for about ten minutes, only to see that Cordy Scott sang a song from the beginning to the end two times. Then he found that Cordy Scott''s rehearsal seemed to be over.
On the stage, Cordy Scott went to the side of the stage, squatted down to communicate with a middle-aged man wearing headphones, stood up, bowed to the musicians on the stage, raised his hand and took down the guitar he was carrying.
After handing over his guitar to the staff on one side, instead of going back backstage from the aisle behind the stage, Cody Scott jumped down from the front of the stage and went to the audience.
"Who are you, please?" Cordy Scott went up to Xiao Yao and Tim haggis and asked.
Cody Scott rehearsed right in front of the stage. Although Xiao Yao and Xiao Yao came in with a low profile and stooped to the audience, Cordy Scott on the stage saw it. Cordy Scott was very curious about the two people sitting in the audience, but he was rehearsing at that time and it was hard to interrupt. Now that the rehearsal is over, he came to explore.
"Hello, Mr. Scott!" Xiao Yao replied with a smile, "we are lucky audiences. We are arranged to see the stars rehearsal!"
"Lucky audience? Arranged to see the star rehearsal? " Cordy Scott said strangely, "is this a welfare for the audience? The organizers still have this kind of operation this year? "
As he said this, Cody Scott looked back at the middle-aged man with earphones who had just talked to him on the stage and said, "Hey, David, why didn''t you tell us in advance that we would arrange for the audience to come to our rehearsal?"
The middle-aged man, who was called David, came up strangely and asked, "what are you talking about, Cordy?"
"I said you also arranged for the audience to come to our rehearsal this year?" Cordy Scott pointed to Xiao Yao. "Why didn''t you tell us in advance?"
David looked strangely along the direction pointed by Cody Scott, then showed a sudden expression, stretched out his hand to Xiao Yao and said: "Yang, Hello! Welcome
The middle-aged man, David Green, is the live director and supervisor of the stage performance of the award ceremony. Xiao Yao to come to the auditorium to see rehearsal, the most important thing is to get his consent. As he was busy supervising the rehearsal of stars, he didn''t specially meet Xiao Yao, but he knew Xiao Yao was here.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Green!" Xiao Yao shook hands with each other with a smile.
When Xiao Yao and Tim haggis came in, the guide staff pointed to him and introduced them. Because David Green was supervising Cody Scott''s rehearsal at that time, Xiao Yao didn''t disturb him and just sat down. Now it''s the official meeting between the two sides.
"Yang?" Cordy Scott looked at David Green with some doubts and said, "do you know him?"
"It''s my first meeting today, but I''ve heard of him for a long time." David Green laughs at Cody Scott. "Don''t you recognize him?"
"Who?" Cordy Scott looks at Xiao Yaodao."Yang Xiao, a star artist from China." "I''m a member of the immortals band, the creator of the daydream song sugar, and the Chinese star who participated in the EVA show and the all star masters," said David Green
"Are you the young Shaw who sang" perfect " Cordy Scott asked Xiao Yao.
"Yes Xiao Yao nodded.
"Why do you say you''re a lucky audience?" Cordy Scott road.
"I''m a lucky audience indeed!" Xiao Yao said, "I was not invited to participate in this award ceremony. I am not a performer or an award winner. I only have tickets for the ordinary audience. I will be an ordinary audience at that time. I feel very lucky that the organizer has allowed me to come to see your rehearsal, so I am a lucky audience. It doesn''t matter if I''m a star, does it? "
"Er..." Cody Scott choked.
"Yang, now I know why Thompson said you were a liar!" One side of Tim haggis stroked his forehead with a wry smile.
"Who is this?" Cody Scott looks at Tim haggis.
"Tim haggis, my friend." Xiao Yao said, "ordinary people are not stars or members of my team. We''re on a LV trip together! "
"Hello Tim haggis raised his hand.
"Take your time, Cordy!" After nodding to Tim haggis, David Green said to Cody Scott, "I have to get ready for the next rehearsal."
"All right, you can do it!" Cody scock nodded.
Unlike Nicky Thompson, Cordy Scott doesn''t care much about the way Xiao Yao talks when he plays word games. After David Green turned and left, he didn''t go back backstage. Instead, he took Xiao Yao and sat in the audience.
"Yang, I like your song" perfect "!" Cordy Scott told Xiao Yao.
"Thank you," Xiao Yao said with a smile. "Your music is also very good! I just heard your rehearsal. I like it very much
"Oh?" "You like country music? Do you have any works in this field? "
"Well," Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment and said, "there is no satisfactory complete work."
"What do you think of my rehearsal?" Asked Cody Scott.
"Very good!" Xiao Yao said, "I said, I like it very much."
"There''s no better place for you?" Cordy Scott said, "you can say it."
"Well," Xiao Yao thought for a moment and said, "this song is from your album released at the end of last year. The lyrics and music are very good, and the results are very good. As for the official version, I don''t have any suggestions, but if you perform live, I think you might as well play some tricks to promote the atmosphere of the scene."
"How to play?" Cordy Scott road.
"For example, at the end of the first song, you can have a Yodel," Xiao Yao said. "I think it will be very interesting, and the effect should be very good!"
"Yodel?" Cordy Scott glared. "Would you?"
The so-called Yodel is a special singing method and song originated from the Swiss Alps. Some of the pioneers of American country music later combined this special singing method and song form with blues, folk songs and other music styles to form a unique style of village music. Therefore, in American country music, many songs are expressed by Yodel singing.
"Yes Xiao Yao nodded with a smile and said, "I think many children used to sing this way when they were young, but most of them were strangled by their parents because they didn''t allow ghost calls."
Yodel''s singing method is that the singer changes back and forth in different ranges with the same tone in a high voice, and repeats this change to produce a special sound. This is actually a very mature technique to control the overlapping of sounds in different ranges, but from the appearance, it looks like a child''s ghost voice. Of course, the essence of the two must be different.
"No ghosts?" Cordy Scott was stunned, then reacted and said with a laugh, "young, you''re so funny!"
"Well, no kidding!" Cordy Scott laughed for a while, put away his smile and said to Xiao Yao, "give me a Jodel!"
Cordy Scott knows that Xiao Yao is a professional singer and musician. He certainly doesn''t think Yodel is a kid''s ghost.
"Good!" Xiao Yuan cleared his throat and said, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
"Yang, would you like to cooperate with me?" Cordy Scott said, "just as you said just now, add a Yodel at the end of the first paragraph of the song. You can sing this Yodel! Of course, it''s very abrupt to just sing this part, but I heard that you play guitar very well. You can be my special star guitarist. Most of the time, you can stand in the front row and help me play guitar accompaniment. When you go to Yodel''s place, you can sing! ""No, he won''t!" Before Xiao Yao answered, a voice came from the side.
Xiao Yao and Cordy Scott look up and find Nicky Thompson coming.
It turned out that after Cody Scott''s rehearsal, the staff informed Nicky Thompson to come to the rehearsal. After the rehearsal, Cordy Scott needed to change his instruments and equipment on the stage. When Nicky Thompson arrived, before the stage was ready, she glanced at the audience and came to Xiao Yao''s direction.
"Hi, Nicky!" Cody Scott smiles and raises his hand to say hello.
Both of them are well-known American musicians. Although they have different styles and haven''t cooperated with each other much, they are quite familiar with each other in various performances and awards ceremonies.
"Hi, Cody!" Nicky Thompson smiles back.
"You were talking about Yang?" Cordy Scott said, "do you know each other?"
"I brought him!" Nicky Thompson said, "he''s the stage director Amy hired for me."
"Yes Xiao Yao nodded when he saw that Cody Scott looked at him with inquiring eyes.
"So that''s it," said Cody Scott, smiling to Nicky Thompson. "Even if he''s your stage director, doesn''t it prevent him from cooperating with me? Can you make a decision for him? "
"Of course I can''t make a decision for him!" Nicky Thompson said, "but I asked him to be my guitarist before, and he refused. He said that he quit immortals. He didn''t want people in the band to think that his quitting was disgusting with the band, so he would not cooperate with an American star who was more popular than the band on the stage of this award ceremony. I''m more famous than immartals, and you''re more famous than immartals. I just asked him for guitar accompaniment. You not only asked him for guitar accompaniment, but also asked him to sing for you. He refused me, and of course he would refuse you. "
"Is it?" Nicky Thompson looks at Xiao Yaodao at last.
"Yes Xiao Yao put out his hand with a smile.
Xiao Yao didn''t intend to agree with Cordy Scott to help him play guitar and sing Yodel, and he didn''t change his mind because of Nicky Thompson''s words.
"You''re out of immartals?" Asked Cody Scott.
"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "they are in the United States, I''m in China, and I seldom get together. In fact, I should have quit long ago."
"Are you really not going to cooperate?" Asked Cordy Scott.
"Not this time." Xiao Yao shook his head, "if I have a chance in the future, I am willing to cooperate with you."
"All right!" Cordy Scott patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder with a smile. "I''ll have a chance to cooperate in the future!"
"Nikki!" Live director David Green came up and said to Nicky Thompson, "the stage is ready for rehearsal!"
"All right!" Nicky Thompson nodded.
Nicky Thompson turned to walk towards the stage. As soon as he started, he suddenly saw a staff member running to this side and stopped curiously.
"David!" A young man with a work card rushed to David Green and said, "we''re in trouble!"
"What''s the matter?" Asked David Green.
"I just got a call from Neil Hopson''s agent," the young man said. "Neil Hopson is in the hospital now!"
"Hospital? What happened? " Asked David Green.
"Food poisoning!" The young man said, "now life is in danger, but we have to observe in the hospital for two days. In other words, he won''t be able to attend the rehearsal tonight and the award ceremony tomorrow night. "
"It doesn''t matter if there is one less person in the red carpet show. If he wins the prize, his team can send someone to receive it on his behalf, but he is still a guest of performance," the young man continued. "In this way, we will lose one performance."
"One less." David Green said, "just change the host''s desk and get rid of this item in the process."
"No way!" The young man said, "this award ceremony will be broadcast on TV. Although it is recorded and broadcast, it can be edited later, the contract we signed with the TV station has an agreement on the length of the award ceremony and the number of performances. Now there is one less performance, we must find a way to make up for it! "
"Missing a show?" Cordy Scott and Nicky Thompson, who have not left, look at Xiao Yao.
