  Chapter 1045 Guests of the Masters

  The order of appearance of the red carpet show is very particular. It is usually a manifestation of the size of the coffee position. Generally, the bigger the stars, the more they are arranged in the lower position. However, in the Masters, the star players and the performers are two parts. The players on this occasion are obviously more important than the performers. Therefore, the time for the "Immortals" band as the performers to appear on the red carpet is more dependent. Before.

  The five Xiao Yao appeared on the red carpet show together as a whole. In this event, Xiao Yao, the Chinese star, was more popular and well-known than the other four American members. On the red carpet show, Xiao Yao also became a key interview subject for off-site hosts.

  As one of last year’s MVPs, Xiao Yao came to the Masters this year but only acted as a guest performer and did not play as a team member. This is a bit surprising and a question that many people are interested in. The first question the off-court host asked Xiao Yao on the red carpet was why he did not play as a player this year.

  Xiao Yao’s answer was because there was a movie released recently, he was busy with movie promotion, did not have time to practice well, and his state was not good enough, so he did not play as a player.

  Although the organizers of the celebrity tournament agreed that the band would use the movie episode as their midfield performance, they did not mention the name of the movie and would not help them promote the movie so straightforwardly. With this question from the host, Xiao Yao also said the name of the movie, and took the opportunity to make a grand publicity on the red carpet.

  The second question of the red carpet host is to let Xiao Yao, the MVP of last year, predict who this year’s MVP will belong to. Before coming, Xiao Yao also learned about the participants in this year's Masters. This year's Masters players have changed a bit compared with last year, but not all a dozen players have changed. This year's player roster still includes some acquaintances from last year.

  As one of last year’s MVP winners, Rita Mitchell was also invited to participate in this year’s Masters. At last year's Celebrity Game, the person Xiao Yao was most familiar with in the team except Joey Bilsa was Rita Mitchell, the female anchor of the basketball show. When the host asked this question, Xiao Yao did not directly answer who he thought would win the MVP. Instead, he said that he was looking forward to the performance of Rita Mitchell, the former MVP most, and he was playing for the former teammate of last year. call.

   After asking Xiao Yao two questions, the host picked Samien and Dean siblings and asked them to briefly talk about their feelings about coming to the Masters this year.

  The time spent on the red carpet is limited, and the entire outfield interview is not long. It didn’t take long for the band to complete the red carpet ceremony and enter the arena.

  Walking on the red carpet and halftime performances are both important moments. The costumes of several people are specially designed, and there is no need to be so grand and formal when watching the game. After the five members of the band entered the arena, they went to the lounge and changed into looser and casual clothes before they came to the auditorium of the stadium with ease.

  The organizers gave the five seats of the band to be connected together, but there was no stipulation on who should sit in which position. When sitting in the auditorium, Dean did not let Xiao Yao sit in the middle, but insisted that Xiao Yao sit on the outermost side of the five people. Next to Xiao Yao was Samien. He sat in the middle. Mike Sit on the other side with George.

   Dean knows what his sister thinks. Although it is known that Xiao Yao has a girlfriend, Xiao Yao is still not married after all, and Dean does not think that his sister must have no chance. Let Xiao Yao and Samien sit next to each other to facilitate the dialogue and exchange between Xiao Yao and Samien. Let Xiao Yao sit on the outermost side because people are accustomed to chatting with familiar people. On the other side of Xiao Yao are people who don’t know. Naturally, he will talk to his sister more when watching games.

   Dean arranged seats in this way to create more opportunities for communication between his sister and Xiao Yao, but it was also convenient for reporters who wanted to interview Xiao Yao and friends who came to chat with Xiao Yao.

  For this year’s Celebrity Games, China’s Haiyan video still obtained China’s network broadcast rights. Not only did it have a commentary at the scene, but also sent on-site reporters. As a midfield performer, the five members of the band are not on the interview list of the American TV station responsible for the broadcast of the game, but this time only three Chinese participated in the NBA All-Star Masters, two players and one guest performer. All three of them were interviewed by Haiyan video reporters.

  After Xiao Yao and others entered the stadium, the reporter of Haiyan Video brought the cameraman with the camera to look for it. Since Xiao Yao is not a player and it is inconvenient to stay on the court for a long time, the reporter from Haiyan Video went directly to the auditorium and sat in the empty seat next to Xiao Yao to interview Xiao Yao.

  Xiao Yao has cooperated with Haiyan Video quite a few times, and the relationship is good, and on this occasion in a foreign country, the attitude of this female Chinese reporter of Haiyan Video is much better than when facing reporters in China. Although the questions asked by this reporter were nothing special, they were basically asked by someone before. Xiao Yao answered all her questions patiently, smiling and cooperating with her to complete the interview.

Although the reporter of Haiyan Video went to Xiao Yao, he did not ignore the several band members around Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao also took the opportunity to introduce Dean and others to the audience and netizens of China again when answering questions from reporters on Haiyan Video.

  After Xiao Yao introduced Dean and others to the reporter of Haiyan Video, Dean and others smiled at the camera lens of Haiyan Video and greeted the audience and netizens of Huaxia in Chinese.

Although Dean and others have performed a Chinese song with Xiao Yao on "Singer", not everyone has seen that performance. In particular, there is a big difference between the audience of "Singer" and the audience of the Masters. When Dean and others say hello to the Chinese audience in Chinese, the female reporter of Haiyan Video was really shocked.

  The female reporter was surprised, but also subconsciously chatted with Dean and others. After such a chat, the female reporter was surprised to find that the Chinese of these Americans was actually very good. This interview also allowed Dean and others to gain the goodwill of the female reporter and many Chinese audiences who watched Haiyan's live video.

Not long after the interview with Haiyan Video, the participating star players entered the arena one after another.

The entrance ceremony of the   Masters game is to allow star players and coaches to walk directly from the bench to the court, not from the player’s channel, so the star players do not stay in the locker room when they arrive, but change their clothes and enter the court directly.

  There is a special warm-up time before the game. Players who arrive first can start to warm up directly after entering the field, or they can freely move for a period of time, and they can warm up together after they are all gathered. Taking advantage of this time, reporters from official U.S. broadcast television stations and broadcasters from other countries can also find people they like to conduct on-site interviews.

  As last year’s MVP and a relatively rare female star player, Rita Mitchell is undoubtedly the focus of reporters this year. After Rita Mitchell entered the venue, a reporter from the US TV station immediately greeted her and took her for an interview.

  After accepting the reporter's live interview, Rita Mitchell did not go to the court to warm up, nor did she sit down on the bench seat, but stood on the sidelines and looked towards the audience.

  As a guest performer in this game, Xiao Yao and others' seats are very close to the stadium, just a row behind the bench of the Eastern Celebrity Team. It is still easy to find.

  While Rita saw Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao also saw Rita on the court. The eyes of the two met, and they smiled and waved while they were in a tacit understanding.

   Xiao Yao thought it would be over to say hello in the air, but he did not expect that after Rita Mitchell waved, he walked directly across the bench seat and walked towards the auditorium where they were.

   "Hi, Yang, long time no see!" Xiao Yao was about to stand up, but Rita Mitchell sat down on the seat next to them, leaned over and smiled and stretched out her hand.

  "Long time no see!" Xiao Yao smiled and shook hands with Rita Mitchell.

  "This is "Immortals", this is Samien, this is Dean, this is..." After greeting, Xiao Yao introduced the band members around him to Rita.

   "Hello, I have heard your songs, it's great!" Rita Mitchell greeted with a smile.

   "Thank you, we also like watching your show!" Dean and others also responded with a smile.

   "You are the basketball goddess in my heart!" Dean added separately.

   "Thank you!" Rita Mitchell smiled happily.

   "Yang, I want to ask you..." After greeting Dean and others, Rita Mitchell looked at Xiao Yao again and asked.

   "Please don't ask me why I haven't been a player this year," Xiao Yao interrupted Rita with a wry smile, and said helplessly, "I have answered many times today!"

   "Ha~" Rita Mitchell was not upset because Xiao Yao interrupted her, but was amused by Xiao Yao's expression.

   "What I want to ask you is," Rita Mitchell said to Xiao Yao again after laughing, "Remember what you promised me last year?"

"Of course I remember," Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, and then said with a bitter face, "But, I have been very busy recently. This time I came to the United States to promote the movie. The schedule is very tight. I I don't have time to practice, and I didn't even participate in this game, so I can only wait for the next time I come to the United States to see if I have a chance."

   "Okay," Rita Mitchell nodded, "Then we will make an appointment when you come to America next time!"

   "Yang, what did you promise Rita?" Dean approached curiously, and asked Xiao Yao through Samien with a gossiping look, "Are you dating? You have a girlfriend!"

   "It's none of your business!" Samien pushed Dean's face back.

   "Hey, I'm Young's friend, I can't watch him do something wrong!" Dean said confidently.

   "What are you talking about?" Rita Mitchell asked Dean curiously.

   "Ah~" Dean scratched his head embarrassedly, and said to Rita Mitchell, "I have no intention of offending, but Young has a girlfriend, so you can't date Young!"

"What are you talking about? Who said I'm going to date Rita?" Xiao Yao said silently, "Also, in the Masters last year, Tiana and I kissed in public, and Rita was also there, she Don’t you know that I have a girlfriend?"

"Haha~" Rita Mitchell, who had come to understand, laughed and said to Dean, "Young promised to participate in a recording of my show at the Masters last year, but he didn't have time after the game last year. We didn't Recording that episode, I am now discussing with him to be a guest of my show, it is not a date! Although I like Yang very much, I have not yet pursued him enough!"

  "Record the show? NBA2K?" Dean was dumbfounded.

   "Of course!" Rita Mitchell nodded, "I only have one fixed program!"

   "But your show guests are all professional basketball players!" Dean said strangely.

   "There are exceptions!" Rita Mitchell said, "Yiyang's performance in the Masters last year was enough to attract me to invite him to my show."

   "Well, my fault!" Dean raised his hand apologetically.

   "It's okay!" Rita Mitchell laughed.

  Rita Mitchell did not chat with Xiao Yao for too long, and after a few casual conversations with Xiao Yao, he left and got up.

  When Rita Mitchell was chatting with Xiao Yao and others, other star players also arrived one after another, including several star players who had been teammates with Xiao Yao last year.

After Rita Mitchell got up and left, several American stars who had been teammates with Xiao Yao last year also came to say hello to Xiao Yao. However, these people just stood in the audience and shook hands with Xiao Yao, and did not sit down and chat.

  In addition to these American stars who were teammates last year, Xiao Yao also has two Chinese acquaintances in this year's Masters.

  This year's NBA Celebrity Tournament, still invited two Chinese stars to participate. One of them is Zhuo Zhiyuan, who has participated three times, and this year is the fourth time he has received an invitation to the Masters. Since Xiao Yao only acted as a guest performer this year and did not participate in the competition, the organizers of the celebrity tournament also invited a Chinese celebrity to participate in the competition. Like last year, the two Chinese celebrities were still divided into two teams in the east and west.

  Xiao Yao and Zhuo Zhiyuan have participated in two star exhibition matches together. Although they are opponents, they should be more familiar with each other in terms of relationship. However, when Zhuo Zhiyuan arrived, he just waved his hand with Xiao Yao from a distance. Even if he had greeted him, he did not have any face-to-face communication. Instead, he was the first time he was invited to participate in the NBA Masters. A Chinese star who met Xiao Yao deliberately ran to the audience stand on the sidelines and chatted with Xiao Yao.

  The Chinese star who was invited to participate in the NBA Masters for the first time this year is named Jiang Fengjin. Although it is the first time to meet Xiao Yao, he also has a certain relationship with Xiao Yao.
