"The result is obvious!" David Green stood up, reached out his hand to Xiao Yao and said, "Mr. Xiao, on behalf of Billboard magazine, I now formally invite you to be the guest of this year''s Billboard Music Awards ceremony, participate in the award ceremony tomorrow night and perform on stage."
"My pleasure!" Xiao Yao smiles and shakes hands with David Green.
"Mr. Li, thank you very much and btbs group want to help, but unfortunately, we only have one vacant performance." David Green turned to John Lee and said, "tomorrow night''s awards ceremony, you are still the guests."
"You''re welcome." John Lee smiles at David Green, then turns to Xiao Yao and says, "Congratulations, Mr. Xiao!"
John Li knows that Xiao Yao is better than btbs in terms of his popularity in the United States, the popularity of his works in the United States, and the hard power of his stage performance. He had confidence in the live PK of Xiao Yao and btbs, but it was because he knew that it must be unexpected for Xiao Yao. He felt that Xiao Yao, who had not made preparations in advance, could not produce any decent performance in less than two hours.
John Lee has been in the United States for a long time. He knows what kind of performances these Americans prefer. After Xiao Yao''s first performance, John Li was surprised and knew that btbs had little chance of winning. Although the things planned in advance were spoiled by Xiao Yao''s "Cheng Yaojin" who killed him suddenly and made wedding clothes for others, it was very unpleasant, but after a few minutes of Xiao Yao''s second performance, John Li had adjusted his mind well, at least on the surface, he didn''t lose his demeanor.
John Lee took seven people from btbs to talk with David Green and some stars for a few more words before leaving.
"Mr. Shaw..." David Green watched John Lee leave with btbs and told Xiao Yao again.
"David, just call me yang." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "you have already called me yang just now. Don''t be so formal."
Since he has decided to cooperate, Xiao Yao doesn''t mind being familiar with each other.
"All right, young!" David Green said, "now that you are definitely invited to be the guest of the show, the next step is to discuss the appearance fee."
Although the opportunity to be a guest of performance was gained after competing with others. But Xiao Yao is not a nominator of any award, so he has to pay for his performance.
"I''ve heard from Nikki that you''re here on LV vacation, and I haven''t seen anyone with your team tonight. Isn''t your team not coming to America with you?" David Green went on, "then, is it right to discuss the appearance fee with you? By the way, I call you Mr. Xiao because I have to talk about the appearance fee with you. "
"You should not be responsible for the appearance fee?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.
"Of course not," said David Green. "By the way, ask my colleague. If you can, please leave your phone number to me and I''ll transfer it to the person in charge so that he can contact you. "
"Of course I''ll leave the phone to you, but I don''t need to talk about the cost!" Xiao Yao said, "although my team didn''t come, we can contact them in China by telephone and Internet. If you ask the person in charge to inquire about the contact information of my studio, you can directly talk to the person in charge of my studio, that is, my agent Miss Fang. I''ll call her! "
"All right!" David Green nodded in agreement.
Xiao Yao didn''t delay either. He took out his mobile phone and left a call for David Green. He also called Fang and told him about it. Because of the time difference, it''s day in Huaxia, and Xiao Yao doesn''t worry about disturbing Fang. Fang is still surprised to hear from Xiao Yao. However, after being Xiao Yao''s agent for so many years, Fang still has a strong ability to accept such things. After a short period of surprise, he said that he would go through the relevant procedures with the people on the bulletin board, so that Xiao Yao could be assured to perform and play.
In addition, the billboard award ceremony was held in Las Vegas, and Xiao Yao recently fell into the vortex of public opinion because of frequent visits to Las Vegas casinos. Fang still took advantage of the situation and proposed to make an announcement in Huaxia after signing the performance agreement, so as to ease the current public opinion situation. Xiao Yao doesn''t object to this either. He just asks that he can''t say that he came to Las Vegas because he had to attend the Billboard Awards ceremony. They have to do the rest.
Because of an accident on the bulletin board, I must work overtime at night to deal with this matter. Huaxia is in the daytime, and the studio is all here. There should be no problem in communication. Normally speaking, we should be able to handle the agreement, contract and other formalities through Internet phone and fax tonight.
All the business on David Green''s side is done, and then the private business.
Now that the rehearsal of the performance part of the award ceremony is over, Xiao Yao, Cordy Scott, Nicky Thompson and several other stars who stayed to watch and judge have all finished their work and can leave. Although the scene time is not early, most of the star artists are night owls. The stars present were shocked by Xiao Yao''s two performances and were very interested in Xiao Yao. Someone suggested that we find a place to have a drink and get together.Since Xiao Yao has decided to be the guest of the awards ceremony tomorrow night and participate in the music event, he naturally doesn''t mind getting close to several American stars. Xiao Yao knew that the purpose of their proposal for the party was on himself, so he agreed.
The rehearsal place is in MGM Hotel, which has a very good bar. We didn''t go out to find another place, so we ordered a big box party in the bar of the hotel.
Into the box, a few glasses of wine to drink, the scene atmosphere familiar and relaxed, we naturally chat.
The first topics we talked about were naturally Xiao Yao''s two performances. They all heard from David green that the PK of this performance was decided temporarily after he learned that Hopson had an accident and was hospitalized. In the whole preparation period, they only had a few rehearsals, which were less than two hours. They were very strange about how Xiao Yao became a candidate substitute performer and how he arranged the stage performance of these two new songs in two hours.
Xiao Yao came here because of Nicky Thompson, the cause and process of PK with South Korea. Cordy Scott and Nicky Thompson saw and experienced the whole process. During Xiao Yao''s rehearsal and preparation, Cordy Scott watched the whole process, and Nicky Thompson saw most of it. Speaking of this matter, Xiao Yao didn''t say much. On the contrary, Cordy Scott and Nicky Thompson gave us a vivid description of the process of the event and Xiao Yao''s performance during the whole rehearsal.
In terms of the time and frequency of Xiao Yao''s public appearances in the United States and the number of published works, Xiao Yao''s reputation in the United States is much higher than that of foreign artists in similar situations. A large part of his fame comes from his several cases in the United States. Most of these stars meet Xiao Yao for the first time and are very interested in the cases that Xiao Yao has experienced. After talking about music and performance, someone gossiped about the case.
Cordy Scott and Nicky Thompson only know about those cases from the media reports, and they don''t know more about them than others, so this part can only be said by Xiao Yao himself.
Xiao Yao didn''t show any humility, avoided negotiating with the U.S. police about some details that need to be kept secret, and chose what he could say to tell them.
After listening to this, we are very interested in Xiao Yao''s skill. It''s not appropriate for Xiao Yao to perform Kung Fu routines for everyone, which is suspected of monkey playing. But there are two men who like to keep fit among the stars tonight. They dare not fight with Xiao Yao alone, and the bar box is not the place to fight, so they propose to compete with Xiao Yao by drinking.
Xiao Yao agreed with a smile, and it didn''t take long to defeat the two challengers with thicker arms.
The two American male stars who lost their wrists didn''t show much frustration. They were very convinced to marvel at Xiao Yao''s power.
This evening''s party was quite enjoyable and pleasant. It lasted until two or three o''clock in the morning before everyone left.
When Xiao Yao returns to his hotel room, he finds that Tim haggis has come back. Since Tim haggis had gone to bed, Xiao Yao didn''t wake him up to ask him how he was doing about food poisoning.
Early the next morning, Xiao Yao delayed getting up a little. When he got up, Tim haggis was not up. Considering that Tim haggis should have done a lot last night, Xiao Yao didn''t ask him to go to the gym.
After the morning exercise, Xiao Yao didn''t go to the restaurant for breakfast. Instead, he went back to his room to take a bath and change clothes. By the way, he saw if Tim haggis got up.
When Xiao Yao returned to the room, Tim haggis was still not up. But I don''t know if Xiao Yao woke up Tim haggis when he came back. When Xiao Yao came out from the bath, Tim haggis had finished washing and sat in the living room.
"How was the investigation last night?" Xiao Yao said good morning to Tim haggis and asked casually.
"There are some clues," said Tim haggis, "but I don''t think it''s easy. Maybe it''s hard to find the Korean people."
"Oh," Xiao Yao nodded noncommittally, "do you want to continue to check that today or go to the casino with me?"
"Are you going to the casino today?" Tim haggis was surprised. "It''s the Billboard Awards ceremony in the evening. Don''t you have a rest in the day?"
"Did I tell you that I won PK and became the guest of the show tonight?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "when I came back last night, you were already asleep. I didn''t get up in the morning and I didn''t see you care!"
"That''s because I have confidence in you and know that you will never lose to those Koreans." Tim haggis said, "don''t try to cheat me. I don''t want to go to Thompson like a fool to confirm."
"Well, I won''t lie to you!" Xiao Yao said, "I really won PK and became the guest of the show tonight. But the award ceremony is in the evening, and there is no rehearsal during the day, so it doesn''t affect me to continue to go to the casino during the day. "
"Now that I''ve figured out what I''m in trouble, Thompson won''t do anything to me anymore." Xiao Yao then said, "if you want to go to the Hopson business, you don''t have to accompany me to the casino.""I''ll go to the casino with you!" Tim haggis said, "I work in LA. This is not my place. I went to my local friends and FBI colleagues last night and asked them to check for me. They''ll let me know if there''s any news, so I''d better go to the casino with you! "
Although some casinos are forbidden to take photos, all regular casinos do not prohibit tourists to bring mobile phones.
"OK," Xiao Yao shrugged, "go to breakfast, and then set out!"
They went to the restaurant of the hotel for breakfast, and then set out for the casino.
In the morning, Tim haggis in the casino didn''t receive any phone calls. Instead, Xiao Yao''s phone rang. Xiao Yao picked up the phone and found that it was the person on the bulletin board who contacted Xiao Yao and wanted to confirm with him the process of the evening, the attendance and the costume of the performance.
Last night, the relevant personnel of the bulletin board have contacted the people in Xiao Yao''s studio, and the contract and agreement have been completed. Due to the time constraint, the studio didn''t have time to send a team to the United States to help Xiao Yao attend the awards ceremony. Fang still knew that Xiao Yao didn''t have the heart to hire people in the local area, and he didn''t want remote control command across the ocean, so he agreed to leave all these things to the person on the bulletin board.
Xiao Yao has been informed by Fang still that these things are to be done, but he doesn''t think these things need to take too long. He doesn''t have to worry about it. He makes an appointment with the other party at noon on the phone.
Xiao Yao and Tim haggis spent enough time in the casino as planned. They came out of the casino near noon and drove to MGM hotel. As the hotel is the venue of the award ceremony, the billboard has rented a lot of places here, and Xiao Yao''s trial fitting and modeling is also arranged in this hotel.
In terms of process, Xiao Yao has a strong memory. Once he says it, he fully understands it and writes it down. When he repeats it, it''s not bad at all, and it''s done very quickly.
Next, the trial assembly and modeling went smoothly.
Compared with the award ceremony of film and Television Awards, music awards are more tolerant of stars showing their personalities in clothing, and male stars are not required to wear formal dresses. Men have a larger choice of clothing. But Xiao Yao doesn''t pursue to show his personality in clothes to attract people''s attention. He chooses a suit of black casual suit according to the rules. Naturally, the billboard passed quickly. As for the performance clothing and modeling, Xiao Yao more casual put forward a black T-shirt with jeans. This shape is relatively simple, and it is more in line with the performance atmosphere of that song. The billboard also accepted it smoothly.
Although things are going well, it will inevitably take more time than usual. There are casinos in MGM hotel. In order to save time, Xiao Yao made some temporary adjustments. In the afternoon, he went directly to the casino of MGM Hotel, so it was more convenient to attend the Billboard Music Award Ceremony in the evening.
At about three in the afternoon, Xiao Yao in the casino received a call from Nicky Thompson.
Nicky Thompson is calling to ask when Xiao Yao is going to leave for MGM Hotel and ask him to go with him. She didn''t want to invite Xiao Yao to the same car, but there was a red carpet show at the award ceremony, which required the stars to arrive in advance. They set out and arrived together. While waiting at MGM Hotel, they also had a chat with an acquaintance.
After listening to her explanation of her intention, Xiao Yao told him that he was in the casino of MGM hotel.
It''s said that Xiao Yao is in the casino of MGM hotel. Nicky Thompson is very surprised. Although she knew that Xiao Yao went to casinos every day after she came to Las Vegas, Xiao Yao''s behavior of going to casinos was beyond her expectation when she was going to attend the award ceremony today.
So Nicky Thompson, who had just asked ahead of time and didn''t plan to leave, immediately left for MGM hotel. After arriving, she also went to the casino to find Xiao Yao and see what he did in the casino or what attracted him so much.
