Entertaining Children

After chatting a few words and getting to know each other, Master Hong started today's Kung Fu teaching. Master Hong is only in his thirties, not too old, and his English level is still good. He can communicate in English with several supermodels, and he doesn't need Xiao Yao to translate for him.

After Xiao Yao ordered the cameramen of the shooting team to find a camera angle to shoot, he retreated to the wall with Zhou Zhihao and Lin Qisan. The three of them sat on the floor against the wall, chatting softly while watching Master Hong teaching the four models Huaxia Kungfu in the center of the hall.

In the center of the hall, Master Hong first boxed the four models, and then explained each movement separately.

"Bayi, what punch did Master Hong punch just now?" After watching Master Hong's demonstration, Zhou Zhihao asked Xiao Yao in a low voice.

Zhou Zhihao and Xiao Yao have been fighting since childhood, and they are also very interested in martial arts. In terms of martial arts, Xiao Yao kowtowed to his master in a serious way. Although he only learned Shaolin Changquan and Bajiquan, he also had a good understanding of all kinds of boxing.

"Born out of Hongquan, it has the shadow of Hongquan, but it's not exactly Hongquan's moves." Xiao Yao said, "This master Hong said that he went to the film and television crew to do action design and martial arts guidance, and he had the experience of instructing actors. Experience. This is a set of movements he specially designed for the models, which not only has the appearance of traditional Chinese martial arts, but also takes care of viewing."

"No wonder!" Zhou Zhihao nodded and said, "Finding someone who has been a martial arts instructor to teach is indeed more enjoyable than those taught by those masters."

"That's it," Xiao Yao said proudly, "Brother has crossed so many borders, why should he have some advantages? I asked Master Hong to design this for them, and I helped out with an idea yesterday! There is no good As a result, I will not temporarily increase this activity today, and add a day's workload to myself for no reason."

"Have you increased your workload?" Lin Qisan asked amusedly, "Why don't you just sit here and watch a play with us?"

"I communicated with Master Hong yesterday and asked Eva and people from the planning company to help contact the venue. Isn't it all work to bring you here today?" Xiao Yao retorted, "Why didn't the workload increase?"

"Hey, Master Hong's fights are indeed quite entertaining, but these supermodel sisters..." After watching for a while, Zhou Zhihao elbowed Xiao Yao, pouted towards the middle of the hall and said, "You don't care Do you care?"

It was the first time for several supermodels to come into contact with Huaxia Kung Fu. Although they were extremely curious and worked hard to learn it, their movements were not quite standard. But Master Hong didn't know whether it was because he couldn't let go of the camera, or because he couldn't let go of some unfamiliar and particularly big-name international supermodels, or because he thought it was enough to do a show. requirements are not strict. Even if the movements of the supermodels were out of shape, he just smiled and nodded.

"Stop!" After being reminded by Zhou Zhihao, Xiao Yao stood up and said as he walked towards the middle of the hall, "Not good enough!"

"What's wrong?" Several models turned their heads to look at Xiao Yao who was walking over.

"You didn't do well just now!" Xiao Yao said bluntly to the four models.

"In the fist punch just now, both Zoe and Sally's fists went out in crooked directions," Xiao Yao said while demonstrating, "Also in the palm slap just now, the squatting horse stance was basically not done. It is in place, the left leg is not stretched, the right leg is not stretched straight, and the arm does not go over the top of the head, but directly across the front, isn't this too ugly?"

"Master Hong, you have to be strict with your apprenticeship!" Xiao Yao stood up and said to Master Hong, "Would you agree with your apprentice after training like this? There is still a camera for this." , it may be broadcast on American TV stations in the future, and how many people in the world will see it! You have to let them do their moves correctly and do it properly!"

"Well, how can you treat these few like you treat your apprentices?" Master Hong said embarrassedly, "I can't do it!"

"Can't you do it?" Xiao Yao said in surprise, "I didn't ask you to hit them either! You can tell them to stop and adjust them!"

"This..." Master Hong hesitated.

"Aren't you embarrassed to touch them?" Xiao Yao looked at Master Hong blushing a little, guessed a possibility, and said in surprise.

"Master wouldn't dare to touch it even with a camera!" A young man behind Master Hong suddenly interjected, "Our wife is very powerful!"

"Hey~" Everyone else laughed.

"Shut up!" Master Hong shouted back a little annoyed, "It's against you! Go back and practice more together!"

"Ah~" The disciples behind let out a scream.

"If you don't dare to touch them, don't promise me yesterday!" Xiao Yao smiled wryly, "How do you teach this?"

"Why don't you come?" Master Hong looked at Xiao Yao and said, "You have also practiced martial arts since childhood. These are some basic moves of mine. You have seen them all yesterday, why don't you teach them!"

"Me?" Xiao Yao pointed to his nose in surprise, and complained in his heart, "If I am willing to teach myself, why should I invite you?"

"What I mean is, let me demonstrate, and you regulate their movements." Master Hong seemed to have guessed Xiao Yao's thoughts, and continued, "It seems that the direction of punching is crooked, and where the movements are not in place, you can shoot Help them adjust the norms. You are so familiar with them, you shouldn't have any concerns about these aspects, right?"

"It means to be your teaching assistant!" Xiao Yao nodded helplessly, and at the same time sighed in his heart, "What kind of wonderful teacher did I hire!"

"Haozi, San'er, you two come together!" Xiao Yao waved to Zhou Zhihao and Lin Qisan.

Master Hong taught some very basic boxing moves. Lin Qisan had learned Shaolin Changquan from Xiao Yao for more than two years, and Zhou Zhihao had fought many games with Xiao Yao. And movements, Zhou Zhihao also learned some basic knowledge and movements of martial arts from Xiao Yao. Both of them have a good understanding of martial arts and know the basic points of movements. In the case of Master Hong's demonstration, they are also capable of helping several models standardize their movements.

"Okay!" The conversation between Xiao Yao and Master Hong did not lower their voices, and the two sitting by the wall watching the play also heard their conversation. They didn't have any complaints about this job, so they got up and walked over together.

As a result, what was originally a one-to-four teaching has become a four-to-four teaching. Whenever the movements of the models are not in place, Master Hong, Xiao Yao and others will stop at any time. The three of Xiao Yao often guide and standardize their movements hand in hand, and sometimes teach some techniques of exerting force. After such adjustments, the movements made by the models look much better.

After learning all the decomposed movements and moves, the four models practiced all the movements together from beginning to end several times. A teacher and three teaching assistants helped them point out some problems in the connection of movements, and taught them some Tips for this.

After the practice, let the four models face the camera lens in groups of two to make the final presentation of the learning results. The others all backed away and stood aside, vacating the middle of the hall for the models.

"Okay, now let's see how you've learned!" Xiao Yao clapped his hands, and reminded him with a smile, "Pay attention to your eyes, I hope it can be murderous!"

Zoe and Rosa stood up first, and first bent down to salute each other with fists in one hand and palms up in the other, and then watched each other punch with sharp eyes.

Of course, Xiao Yao would not let the two really fight each other, but adopted a dislocation method to display boxing routines, creating an illusion of fighting. Although the two did not really fight together, the overall movements are standard and smooth, which is still very entertaining.

"Great!" Everyone applauded after the demonstration in groups of four.

"I think it's great too!" Zoe clenched her fist excitedly and waved, "I feel really good now!"

"It's really amazing!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded.

"Then am I good at fighting now?" Zooey looked at Xiao Yao provocatively and said, "Can I be your opponent?"

"Hehe," Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, "If you want to fight, it's better to find other models to compete! You can't beat any of the people standing here!"

"Ah~" Zoe said a little discouraged.

After the routine display is completed, the martial arts teaching is all over. After thanking and bidding farewell to Master Hong and his disciples, Xiao Yao and his party left this quaint building and returned to the urban area.

The martial arts teaching only lasted half a day. In the afternoon, everyone returned to the original itinerary plan and continued to visit some landmark buildings and scenic spots in Shencheng City.

The tour of Shencheng and the shooting of Eva's daily highlights were combined by Xiao Yao, which lasted a total of one week. A week later, the two shooting tasks were completed together.

At this time, it has entered December, and there is only less than a week left before the Eva show. The models have almost all arrived, and the training and rehearsals have started. Zoe and other four models who are filming documentaries still have some tasks to attend commercial activities in the past few days, and Xiao Yao will not be required to follow these shots. Xiao Yao is a guest performer, and he has to prepare and rehearse for the show himself, so the two groups of people are temporarily separated.

After the filming was over, Xiao Yao was ready to put all his energies on the preparation of the Eva show's repertoire. However, when Xiao Yao had just contacted the band and hadn't officially started rehearsing, he was approached by the person in charge of this Eva Show.

It was more than ten years ago that Xiao Yao participated in the Eva Show for the first time. Although Dunn Genia, the head of the Eva Show at that time, had not retired yet, he had already retreated to the second line. But this year's Eva Show's director, Elbert Goodman, is the director of this year's swimsuit special, and he and Xiao Yao are old acquaintances, so after meeting Xiao Yao, Albert also straight to the point with Xiao Yao Tell him why you came here.

"Yang, there are some unexpected situations on our side, and we need to adjust this year's performance arrangement." Albert Goodman said to Xiao Yao, "I came here to hear your opinion !"

"Oh? What an unexpected situation!" Xiao Yao asked curiously.

"Nicole Ao Dai's visa has some problems. Her visa has not been approved, so she can't come to China, and she will definitely not be able to participate in the Eva show held in Shanghai this year." Elbert said.

Each Eva show has six units with different themes. According to the practice of previous years, Eva usually invites three groups of guests to perform in four units. One group of guests will perform twice, while the other two groups will only appear once. This year's Eva show is no exception. Originally, three groups of performers were invited. Except for Xiao Yao, a Chinese star, the other two groups are all American stars, and they don't have a band, they are all solo singers.

These two solo singers are popular singers in the United States this year and have won more than one Grammy award. One is a black male singer in his thirties named Jamie Smith, and the other It's Nicole Ao'Day, a white female singer who just turned 30.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Yao said, "Then how are you going to adjust?"

The visa issue is definitely beyond Xiao Yao's ability to solve, so Xiao Yao waits for Elbert's next words.

"Of course, we can only invite one other guest performer." Elbert said, "There is only less than a week left before the Eva show. If you invite stars from European countries such as the United States or the United Kingdom, you will also face visas." problem. Since the Eva show is held in China, we plan to invite another star singer from China."

"Good idea!" Xiao Yao smiled, and then asked tentatively, "So you asked me to come, do you want me to recommend you a guest performer to replace Miss Ao Dai?"

"Not exactly," said Elbert. "In fact, we have already contacted some entertainment companies in Huaxia and received a lot of recommended candidates. After our initial comparison and selection, we now feel that there are two more suitable candidates. , but the specific decision on who to invite has not been finalized, and it is difficult to decide, so I want to hear your opinion. It is not for you to recommend candidates, but to know which of these two people you think is more suitable."

"Understood!" Xiao Yao nodded, "Who are these two?"

"You also know that the headquarters of our Eva is in the United States, and the television broadcaster of the Eva show has always been NBC in the United States, so we must first consider the popularity and influence in the United States and the world when we select the performers. "Elbert said, "The two Chinese star singers we have listed as candidates are Zhuo Zhiyuan and Liang Xueying. Zhuo Zhiyuan lived in the United States before and participated in the NBA All-Star Weekend Celebrity Game for two consecutive years. Liang Xueying I had a concert in the United States, and last year a song entered the American billboard, and the results were pretty good.”

"These two!" Xiao Yao thought in his heart, "Sure enough, they both have relatively good international resources!"

"They are all well-known in the United States." Elbert continued, "Comparatively speaking, Zhuo Zhiyuan has more fans, but Liang Xueying's performance is better, so it is difficult for us to choose. Listen to your opinion."

"Have you investigated their relationship with me?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I wrote Liang Xueying's song on the bulletin board for her. Not only did we have cooperation, but we also have a very good personal relationship. And me and Zhuo Zhiyuan only met in a star charity basketball game in Huaxia, and he was still an opponent. Although he is not an enemy, his relationship is very ordinary. Aren't you worried that I will give an unfair opinion due to personal reasons?"

"We all know this!" Albert nodded, looked at Xiao Yao with a smile, and said, "The question is, will you know it?"
