Entertaining Children

"Ladies and gentlemen, please, Jan Xiao!"

At the scene of the Eva show, the English narration sounded again on the stereo. The fence in the center of the stage slowly rose again, and there were dots of lights around the stage floor, fence and background wall. The audience also saw a few shadowy figures and the shadows of some musical instruments in the center of the stage.

"Oh~"

Before I could clearly see the people on the stage, I just heard Xiao Yao's name introduced by the narration, and some people in the audience couldn't wait to make some drumming noises.

"Wow~"

When the fence was fully raised and the lights were brightly lit, the cheers and screams of the audience who could clearly see the performers on the stage burst out instantly. Among these cheers and screams, there were also some exclamations.

Like the performance in the first unit, there is also a whole band on the stage at this time. Drums, electric guitars, bass, keyboards and other musicians were at the back of the stage, while Xiao Yao, who was carrying instruments on his back, distanced himself from the band and stood in the middle of the stage. At the beginning stage when the lights were bright and the models hadn't started to walk the show, Xiao Yao was naturally the focus of the audience. However, compared with the mature, stable and elegant performer sitting by the piano in the first unit, Xiao Yao's image at this time is completely different.

"My God, what is he wearing? Armor?"

"The instrument in his hand is the key point, okay? It's the first time I've seen such an instrument! It's so cool!"

Sitting in the front row of the auditorium, a few foreign stars who were very close to the stage looked at Xiao Yao on the stage in surprise, and exclaimed in surprise.

Xiao Yao, who appeared on the stage at this time, was wearing an "armor suit". On the shoulders and right chest are silver metal shoulder and chest protectors, fastened to the body by leather straps. There are two pieces of armor covering the upper part of the upper arm under the shoulder pads, two pieces of metal armor are attached to the back of the hand and the outside of the forearm of the glove, and the front of the knee and calf, the upper of the boot and both sides are also attached. Silver metal armor.

Compared with the clothes, what attracts more attention is the guitar that Xiao Yao is carrying on his back. The entire body of the guitar is a winding dragon, the dragon head, dragon claws, and dragon tail are clearly visible, and the head of the guitar is also a dragon head! This guitar is exactly Xiao Yao's dragon piano - "Prisoner Cow".

In the finale performance of the Eva show, Xiao Yao also took out his "big killer" at the bottom of the box.

"Wow~ Xiao Yao's magnified move!"

"Ha! Those foreign stars are dumbfounded!"

Such an armor suit and that dragon piano were both shown by Xiao Yao on "Singer" last year.

Although it was only shown once, but such a cool thing, once seen, it is unlikely to be easily forgotten. Therefore, compared with those foreign audiences who were extremely surprised, although the Huaxia audience was a little surprised, but after all, they had seen something once, and their reaction was much faster and more enthusiastic, bursts of cheers and screams Almost immediately, it resounded through the entire Eva show.

"My God! Yang still has such a piano!"

At this time, the backstage waiting area was also boiling. During the previous rehearsal, Xiao Yao was wearing that armor, but he just took an ordinary electric guitar for rehearsal. In the fourth unit, when Xiao Yao appeared in the backstage wearing an armor suit, the models didn't show much surprise, but when they looked at the piano that was cooler than the clothes, the models watching the TV screen were all surprised. up.

"What kind of sound will this kind of piano play?" Whether it is the audience at the scene or the models in the backstage, people who see Longqin for the first time can't help but have such a question in their hearts.

Just when the questions of these people just popped up, Xiao Yao, who was standing in the center of the stage, plucked the strings of the dragon piano in front of him, and a burst of intense electric guitar sounded.

It's obviously the sound of an ordinary electric guitar, but the people at the scene sounded inexplicably with a special feeling. Then, the cheers and screams on the scene sounded again.

After a fierce electric guitar solo for more than ten seconds, the sound of the scene suddenly disappeared for a short time, and the screams of the audience also quieted down. Then, Xiao Yao plucked the strings again. This time, a less intense electric guitar solo sounded.

This electric guitar solo, which sounded like the prelude to the song, lasted for about ten seconds, and then the sound of drums joined in.

With the sound of drums, catwalk models also appeared at the entrance of the channel. The models who appeared at the entrance of the passage came out non-stop, and the catwalk part of the sixth unit officially started.

Seeing this, another question appeared in the hearts of the audience.

In the previous units with guest performers, including Xiao Yao's first unit, the models appeared later than the guest performers. Whether it's a prelude or a monologue, the Eva show gave enough time for the performers to perform alone. The models all started to appear on the catwalk after the performers started singing. Although it has been almost half a minute since Xiao Yao played the guitar for the show, after all, the singing has not yet started, but the model's catwalk show has already begun. Xiao Yao's guitar show is obviously divided into two parts, does this mean?

Following this guess, many viewers once again focused on Xiao Yao. Then everyone was surprised to find that Xiao Yao didn't wear a headset next to his ear, and there was no microphone stand or microphone on the stage!

"I'll go! Could it be that Xiao Yao's last performance was just playing the guitar without singing?!"

"Xiao Yao dares to play like this on the Eva show?!"

"There hasn't been a purely instrumental performance in the history of the Eva Show, has it?"

"Does Xiao Yao consider himself a master performer? How can he be so confident?"

"This is fucking Tianxiu!"

After discovering this, not only foreign audiences, but even those Chinese audiences felt incredible, and shouted in their hearts!

Xiao Yao's second performance was really just a pure guitar performance.

At the beginning, Albert's request to Xiao Yao was that the two performances should have different styles. Xiao Yao's first performance "Thingking Out Loud" is a folk song, which is more gentle and soothing. After the piano-based adaptation, it is more elegant and feels softer. Then in the next performance, Xiao Yao naturally had to choose the more explosive and intense one.

The stage of the Eva Show is not suitable for performing Chinese songs. Xiao Yao has also written a few explosive and intense English rock songs and electronic music songs, but these songs are either written for others or are not suitable for people like Chen Chen who are not yet Eva Show. It is not suitable to cooperate with a few Chinese stars. It is also inappropriate to perform new English songs that are not well-known on the stage of Eva Show. Xiao Yao thought of pure musical instrument performance when he didn't want to sing a cover.

The performance track Xiao Yao chose was adapted from Brian Caroll, the former guitarist of "Guns N' Roses" in his previous life, that is, Buckethead's "Soothsayer" who performed with a mask and a KFC bucket. The original song was more than nine minutes long. Xiao Yao deleted many of the repetitive parts and made some other modifications, adapting it into a more than four-minute piece to suit Eva's performance.

Except for the deleted repetitive parts, Xiao Yao didn't change the melody of this piece much, so strictly speaking, this is not a brand new piece. Although the original song was not included in Xiao Yao's pure music album of guitar songs played by acoustic guitar, it was also performed by Xiao Yao before and has a certain popularity.

Xiao Yao played this piece for the first time when it was broadcast anonymously on the live broadcast platform. At that time, the netizens who watched the live broadcast did not know that the new anchor named "Guitar Brother" was Xiao Yao, but being able to be exclaimed as "Guitar God" by the fans was enough to show the shock of this song to the fans . At that time, some guitar enthusiasts deliberately uploaded this live video to some foreign music video websites.

Such an amazing piece of music not only shocked Chinese water friends, but also shocked many foreign netizens and guitar lovers. Once these videos were uploaded, they quickly became popular on foreign video sites and netizens, and their popularity and influence were very good.

Xiao Yao only revealed that he is the "Guitar Brother" when he was a guest in Chen Beila's live broadcast room a few days later. Although Chinese netizens all know that "Guitar Brother" is Xiao Yao, it may be because foreigners think that an amateur in Huaxia can compose and perform such a piece of music, which makes foreigners think that Huaxia is better than a star singer in China. Forcibly, those guitar enthusiasts who uploaded the video of Xiao Yao playing "Soothsayer" to foreign music video sites did not specifically go to those foreign music video sites to explain that this player is a Chinese star.

Therefore, although this piece is very popular abroad, and there are quite a few foreign music fans who know about YS and Jan Xiao, not many foreigners know that this piece was composed and performed by Xiao Yao. However, this song is well-known and its style meets the requirements. In fact, it is also his own work. In the end, Xiao Yao chose this song as the second performance on the Eva Show.

When Albert heard that Xiao Yao's second performance would be performed purely on musical instruments, he also had some doubts in his heart. It's not that he didn't have the idea of ​​persuading Xiao Yao to give up and choose a new song to perform. But after watching Xiao Yao's performance during the rehearsal, he agreed to Xiao Yao's first pure instrument performance in the history of the Eva Show without much hesitation.

The song "Soothsayer" pays great attention to the rhythm, and the short solo is repeated and gradually advances to the climax. Xiao Yao's adaptation has canceled many repetitive parts, but this gradual overall trend remains unchanged.

On the stage of the Eva show, there will be no wires that both obstruct and obstruct the eyes. Whether it's the connection devices for the various instruments or the microphones, it's all wireless. In the first unit, Xiao Yao sat beside the immovable piano and performed, feeling a little restrained. At this time, with an electric guitar on his back, he felt a lot more free. In the relatively calm stage at the beginning, Xiao Yao also came to the edge of the performance stage very lively, and had some interactions with passing catwalk models.

Although Xiao Yao's hands are not idle, just relying on some eye contact and facial expression interaction can have a very good effect, not to mention that Xiao Yao's feet are still free, and occasionally follow the model's Take two steps together.

The models also have great enthusiasm for interacting with Xiao Yao. Almost every model who passes by Xiao Yao at close range will turn his head to look at Xiao Yao with a smile, and make some exchanges and interactions with him in terms of eyes and expressions. Some of them were more lively, and even reached out their hands curiously to lightly touch the head of the dragon piano that Xiao Yao was carrying on his back. After all, it was the first time they had seen such a cool musical instrument.

However, it didn't take long for Xiao Yao to run to the edge of the performance stage to interact. Almost halfway through the performance, the whole piece gradually progressed to a more intense part, and the skills and speed required for performance have been greatly improved compared with the beginning stage. Xiao Yao returned to the center of the stage and put all his energy on the performance, instead of interacting with the models.

As the melody and rhythm of the song became more and more intense, the emotions of the audience became more and more high.

When the show was almost three quarters in, many audience members couldn't help standing up from their seats and raising their hands. However, the celebrity audience in the front row was still relatively reserved because of their status. At this time, most of the audience who stood up were ordinary audience in the back row.

At this point in the performance, even apart from Xiao Yao’s cool costumes and even cooler instruments in his hands, the piece played by Xiao Yao and his performance state alone sounded different to many people. It seems that it is not much worse than listening to those great rock guitarists live.

Those god-level rock guitarists are somewhat aloof and lofty in temperament, and it is difficult to appear on a stage with such a strong commercial atmosphere as the Eva Show under normal circumstances. Except for concerts and some special rock music festivals, it is generally difficult to see their live performances. This is also one of the reasons why Albert agreed with Xiao Yao's performance in the last unit. Judging from the performance of the audience, Elbert undoubtedly made a very correct decision.

However, this is not the climax of the whole performance. Even though some audience members had already stood up, the intensity of this song was still rising step by step.

When the last model finished the catwalk and disappeared into the passage behind, not only did Xiao Yao's performance not end, but it reached its climax.

Following intense string sliding and strumming, Xiao Yao's various body parts suddenly shot out red laser rays. These laser rays did not appear at the same time, but followed Xiao Yao's playing movements and quickly appeared one by one in line with the rhythm of the music. Such a scene made many audiences open their mouths in surprise, while those Huaxia audiences who had watched Xiao Yao's performance on "Singer" once again burst into loud cheers and screams.

In the last melody with a very fast rhythm, the red laser rays emitted from various parts of Xiao Yao's body began to flicker continuously, and the lights of the entire scene also flickered violently. Suffering such a severe visual and auditory double impact, even the star audiences sitting in the front row were not calm, they all stood up from their seats, raised their hands and screamed. And backstage, those models who finished the catwalk and watched the live broadcast also screamed.

Amidst the explosive drumbeat, Xiao Yao raised his hand to complete the last strumming. When his arm was just raised, all the red rays on his body disappeared, and when his arm was swung down, the red rays all over his body lit up again at the same time, as if the whole person exploded, and several lights above the stage An electric spark exploded near the headlights. At this time, screams resounded throughout the scene, and the atmosphere reached its climax tonight.

The spark near the lights was clearly scheduled rather than an electrical failure. Because after the sound of the music completely fell, the scene was still bright. And as Xiao Yao bowed to the audience, the red rays on his body disappeared again.

The huge cheers of the audience sounded again, and Xiao Yao also straightened his upper body amidst the cheers, and turned to walk towards the entrance of the passage. It wasn't until this time that the lights at the scene dimmed again, and the fence above slowly lowered down.

"Jan, you're doing great!"

When Xiao Yao stepped into the backstage, a group of excited and excited models greeted him with open arms.

"Thanks!"

In order to avoid hurting the other party, Xiao Yao quickly took off the dragon piano on his body, held it with one hand, hugged the models with one hand, and kept saying thank you.

After dealing with those enthusiastic models, Xiao Yao hurriedly ran back to the lounge to put down Longqin, and then immediately ran backstage. After the end of the sixth unit, the whole Eva show is not completely over, and there will be a final collective appearance behind the curtain call. Not only all the models have to appear, but all the guests also have to make a group appearance. After dealing with the last model's hugs and congratulations, Xiao Yao heard the sound of music for the group appearance and curtain call.

When Xiao Yao appeared backstage again, most of the models had already appeared. Liang Xueying and Jamie Smith were already waiting behind the aisle. Xiao Yao hurriedly stood over and accepted the hugs and congratulations from the two.

The three guest performers were the last to appear.

When the three walked out of the passageway and walked onto the stage side by side, the three sides of the stage were already filled with models. There were golden confetti floating in the air above the stage, and all the models applauded to the audience as the music sounded.

The three performers also walked forward while smiling and applauding. When they came to the front of the stage, several models at the front of the stage took the initiative to give way to the middle position, allowing the three to stand at the front.

In addition to applauding and thanking, Jamie Smith and several models beside Xiao Yao also tapped and groped on various armors on Xiao Yao's body with great interest, as if they wanted to figure out why Xiao Yao's costume emits red rays. Xiao Yao, who was squeezed in the crowd, had very limited room to dodge. While maintaining a smile, he had to block and avoid the hands that suddenly reached out to him from various angles.

This kind of picture fell into the eyes of the audience in the front row, which naturally caused a burst of laughter from the audience, which added a bit to the already joyful atmosphere.

However, the collective appearance and curtain call was very short, and such a scene did not last long.

Under the command of the on-site director, the three performers and all the models left the stage in turn, and the Eva show officially came to an end.
