Entertaining Children

   Chapter 871 Guitar Show on Eva Show

  "Ladies and gentlemen, please Yang Xiao!"

At the   Eva show, English narration was heard again in the speaker. The fence in the center of the stage slowly rises again. There are dots of light around the stage floor, fence and background wall. The audience also sees several shadowy figures and the shadows of some musical instruments in the center of the stage.

   "Oh oh~"

  I haven't seen the people on the stage clearly, but only heard the narration introduce Xiao Yao's name, and some of the audience couldn't wait to make some drum noises.

   "Wow~"

  When the fence is fully raised and the scene lights are bright, the cheers and screams of the audience who can see the performers on the stage burst out instantly. Amidst these cheers and screams, there were 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 are at the back of the stage, while Xiao Yao, who is carrying a musical instrument, is standing in the middle of the stage away from the band some distance. At the beginning of the stage when the lights were bright and the models had not yet started the show, Xiao Yao was naturally the focus of the audience. However, compared with the mature, steady and elegant performer who was sitting at the piano in the first unit, Xiao Yao's image at this time is completely different.

   "Gosh, what is he wearing? Armor?"

  "Is the instrument in his hand the key point? The first time I saw such an instrument! It's so cool!"

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

  At this time, Xiao Yao, who appeared on the stage, was wearing an “armor suit”. The shoulders and right chest are silver metal shoulder guards and chest guards, which are fixed to the body by leather straps. Two pieces of armor covering the upper part of the upper arm are attached under the shoulder pads. Two pieces of metal protective gear are attached to the back of the glove and the outer side of the forearm. The front of the knee and calf, the boot surface and both sides of the boot are also added. A silver metal protective gear.

  Compared to clothes, what attracts the eye is the guitar that Xiao Yao carries on his back. The whole body of the guitar is a winding dragon, and the dragon head, claws, and tail are all clearly visible. The head is also a dragon head! This guitar is exactly Xiao Yao's Longqin-"The Prisoner Niu".

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

   "Wow~ Xiao Yao, this is an enlargement trick!"

   "Ha! Those foreign stars are dumbfounded!"

  This armor suit and the dragon piano were all shown by Xiao Yao on "Singer" last year. Although it has only been shown once, it is unlikely that such a cool thing will be easily forgotten as long as it has been seen once. Therefore, compared with those foreign audiences who were extremely surprised, the Chinese audience was a little surprised, but after all, they had seen something once. Their reaction was much quicker and more enthusiastic, with bursts of cheers and screams. Almost immediately resounded throughout the scene of the Eva show.

   "Gosh! Yang actually has such a violin!"

  At this time, the backstage waiting area is also boiling. During the previous rehearsal, Xiao Yao was wearing that armor suit, but only took an ordinary electric guitar for the rehearsal. When Xiao Yao appeared backstage in the fourth unit wearing armored suits, the models did not show much surprise, but when they looked at the piano that was cooler than clothes, the models who watched the TV screen were all surprised. Up.

  "What kind of sound will the pop-up sound of such a piano look like?" Whether it is the audience or the model in the backstage, people who see Long Qin for the first time cannot help but have such a question in their hearts.

  Just as these people’s questions just came out, Xiao Yao, who was standing in the center of the stage, plucked the strings of Longqin in front of him, and a fierce electric guitar sounded.

  Obviously the sound of an ordinary electric guitar, but the people on the scene sounded inexplicable with a special feeling. Then, the cheers and screams on the scene rang again.

  After a ten-second intense electric guitar solo, the sound of the scene suddenly disappeared for a short time, and the screams of the audience were also reduced. Then Xiao Yao plucked the strings again. This time, a less intense electric guitar solo sounded.

  This electric guitar solo, which sounds like a prelude to a song, lasted almost ten seconds, and then the sound of drums joined in.

  With the addition of drum beats, catwalk models also appeared in the passage. The models that appeared in the passageway walked out non-stop, and the catwalk part of the sixth unit officially began.

  Seeing this, another question appeared in the hearts of all the audiences who appeared.

  In the previous units with guest performers, including Xiao Yao's first unit, the models appeared later than the guest performers. Whether it is a prelude or a monologue, the Eva show gives the performers enough time to perform solo. The models all start to appear on the show after the performers start singing. Although it has been almost half a minute since Xiao Yao played the guitar show, he hasn't started singing yet, and the model show has already begun. Xiao Yao’s guitar show is obviously two-stage, does that mean?

  Following this speculation, many viewers once again turned their attention to Xiao Yao. Then everyone was surprised to find that Xiao Yao did not wear a headset near his ear, and there was no microphone stand or microphone on the stage!

  "Let me go! Isn’t Xiao Yao’s last performance just playing the guitar without singing?!"

   "Xiao Yao dare to play this way on the Eva show?!"

   "There is no pure instrumental performance in the history of the Eva show, right?"

   "Has Xiao Yao regarded himself as a master of performance? Where does his confidence come from?"

   "This is the **** Tianxiu!"

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

   Xiao Yao’s second performance is really a pure guitar performance.

  At the beginning, Elbert's request for Xiao Yao was that the two performances had better different styles. Xiao Yao’s first performance "ThingkingOutLoud" was a folk song, which was gentle and soothing. After the piano-based adaptation, it was more elegant and felt softer. Then in the next performance, Xiao Yao Naturally, I have to choose the more intense and fierce one.

The stage of the Eva Show is not suitable for performing Chinese songs. Xiao Yao has also written several explosive English rock songs and electronic music songs, but these songs are either written for others or similar to those of Chen Chen who are not as good as Eva Show. It’s not suitable for the best Chinese celebrities to cooperate with. It’s not appropriate to perform a new English song that is not well-known on the stage of the Eva Show. When he didn’t want to cover it, Xiao Yao thought of pure instrument performance.

  The repertoire selected by Xiao Yao is based on the former "GunsN\'Roses" guitarist Brian Carroll, who is also Buckhead's "Soothsayer", who is wearing a mask and KFC. The original song lasted more than nine minutes. Xiao Yao deleted many of the repetitions and made some other modifications, adapting it into a four-minute song to suit the performance of the Eva show.

  Except for the deleted repetitions, Xiao Yao did not change the melody of this piece much, so in a strict sense, this is not a brand new piece. Although the original song is not included in Xiao Yao's pure music album of guitar songs that are all played by acoustic guitar, it is 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 platform. At that time, netizens who watched the live broadcast did not know that the new anchor named "Little Guitar" was Xiao Yao, but being able to be exclaimed by the water friends as the "Guitar God" was enough to show the shock of this song to the water friends. . At that time, some guitar enthusiasts also specially uploaded this live video to some foreign music video websites.

  Such a great song not only shocked Huaxia's water friends, but also shocked many foreign netizens and guitar lovers. Once these videos were uploaded, they quickly became popular on foreign video websites and netizens music fans, and their popularity and influence were very good.

  Xiao Yao only revealed that he was the "Guitar Brother" in Chen Bella's live broadcast room a few days later. Although Huaxia’s netizens all know that the "Little Guitar Brother" is Xiao Yao, it may be that foreigners think that an amateur in China can create and perform such a piece of music more than a star singer in China. Forced, those guitar enthusiasts who uploaded the video of Xiao Yao playing "Soothsayer" to foreign music video websites also did not go to those foreign music video websites specifically to explain that this player is a star of China.

  So, although this piece is very popular abroad, there are many foreign fans who know YS and Yang Xiao, but there are not many foreigners who know that this piece was created and played by Xiao Yao. However, this piece is well-known and meets the requirements. It is actually his own work. In the end, Xiao Yao chose this piece as the second performance on the Eva show.

  When Elbert heard that Xiao Yao’s second performance would be purely instrumental, there was some suspicion in his heart. It was not that he did not persuade Xiao Yao to dispel his thoughts and choose a new song to perform. But after seeing Xiao Yao's performance during the rehearsal, he almost agreed to Xiao Yao's first pure instrument performance in the history of the Eva show without much hesitation.

  The song "Soothsayer" pays attention to the rhythm. After a short solo repetition, it gradually advances to a climax. Xiao Yao's adaptation has eliminated many repetitive parts, but this gradual overall trend remains unchanged.

  On the stage of the Eva show, there will be no wires that are both obstructive and obstructive. Whether it is the connection equipment of various musical instruments or the microphone, all are wireless. In the first unit, Xiao Yao was sitting beside an immovable piano and performing. He felt a little restrained. At this time, he was carrying an electric guitar on his back, and he was much more free. In the relatively smooth initial stage, Xiao Yao also came to the edge of the performance stage lively and interacted with the passing catwalk models.

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

  The models also have great enthusiasm for interacting with Xiao Yao. Almost every model who passes by Xiao Yao up close will turn his head and smile to take a look at Xiao Yao, and interact with him in eye and facial expressions. Some of them are more lively, and even curiously stretched out their hands to gently touch the head of the dragon at the head of the dragon piano that Xiao Yao was carrying on his back. After all, it was the first time they saw such a cool-looking instrument.

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

  As the melody and rhythm of the music become more and more intense, the mood of the audience is getting higher and higher.

  When the catwalk was almost three-quarters, many live audiences could not help standing up from their seats and raising their hands. However, the star audiences in the front row were concerned about their status, and they were still relatively reserved. At this time, most of the audience who stood up were ordinary audiences in the back row.

The performance ends here, even if it’s aside from Xiao Yao’s cool costumes and even cooler musical instruments in his hands, it’s just the piece Xiao Yao played and the state of his performance, which is heard by many people. It seems that they are not much worse than listening to those great rock guitarists.

  Those great rock guitarists are somewhat aloof and high-spirited. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to appear on a stage with such a strong commercial atmosphere like Eva Show. Except for concerts and some special rock festivals, it is generally difficult to see their live performances. This is one of the reasons why Elbert agreed with Xiao Yao's performance in the last unit. From the performance of the audience, Elbert undoubtedly made a very correct decision.

  However, this has not yet reached the climax of the whole show. Even though some viewers have stood up at the scene, the intensity of this piece is still rising step by step.

  When the last model finished the catwalk and disappeared into the aisle behind, Xiao Yao’s performance not only did not end, but came to the climax.

  With the fierce 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 quickly appeared one by one in accordance with Xiao Yao's playing movements and the rhythm of the music. Such a sight made many audiences open their mouths in surprise, and those Chinese audiences who had watched Xiao Yao's performance on "Singer" broke out again with huge cheers and screams.

  In the last very fast-paced melody, the red laser rays emitted from various parts of Xiao Yao's body began to flicker continuously, and the lights of the entire scene flickered violently. After undergoing such a violent double impact from both visual and auditory aspects, even the star audience sitting in the front row was not calm, standing up from their seats, raising their hands and screaming. In the background, the models who completed the catwalk and watched the live broadcast also screamed.

  In the blast of drum beats, 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 had exploded, and the lights above the stage were illuminated. An electric spark exploded near the headlight. At this time, screams resounded throughout the scene, and the atmosphere on the scene reached its climax tonight.

  Electric sparks near the lights were obviously arranged in advance, not something power failure. Because after the sound of music has completely fallen, the scene is still bright. As Xiao Yao bowed to the audience, all the red rays on his body disappeared again.

  The huge cheers of the audience rang out again, and Xiao Yao straightened his upper body amidst the cheers, turned and walked towards the passageway. Until this time, the lights on the scene dimmed again, and the fence above slowly lowered.

   "Young, you did a great job!"

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

   "Thank you!"

  In order to avoid hurting the other person, Xiao Yao quickly took off the Long Qin from his body, held it with one hand, hugged the models with one hand, and kept saying thank you.

  After dealing with the enthusiastic models, Xiao Yao hurried back to the lounge to put down Long Qin, and then immediately ran back to the backstage. After the end of the sixth unit, the entire Eva show has not yet completely ended, and there will be a final collective appearance after the curtain call. Not only must all the models appear, all the guests must also appear collectively. After dealing with the hugs and congratulations from the last model, Xiao Yao heard the music of the collective appearance of the curtain call outside.

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

  Three performers are the last to appear.

  When the three people walked out of the aisle and walked side by side on the stage, the three sides of the stage were already full of models. The golden confetti floated above the stage, and the models all clapped and thanked the audience to the sound of the music.

  The three performers also smiled and applauded while walking forward. When they came to the front of the stage, several models at the front of the stage actively moved away from the middle position, allowing the three of them to stand at the forefront.

In addition to applauding and thanking Xiao Yao, Jamie Smith and several models beside Xiao Yao banged and fumbled on the various armors on Xiao Yao's body with great interest, seeming to want to figure out why Xiao Yao's costumes were worn. Will emit red rays. And Xiao Yao, who was squeezed in the crowd, had very limited space to dodge. While keeping a smile, he had to block and avoid the hands that suddenly reached him from all angles.

The scene like    fell into the eyes of the audience in the front row of the scene, which naturally caused a burst of laughter from the audience, which added to the originally very happy atmosphere.

  However, the collective appearance of the curtain call is very short, and this scene did not last long.

  Under the guidance of the live director, the three performers and all the models retired in turn, and the Eva show officially came to an end.
