Chapter 3405: Give Us a Dance Partner

If it were in the past, Tavana might not have put Gu Qiuyi in her eyes.

After all, Gu Qiuyi's status in the music world is still several levels below hers.

Currently, the globally most influential singers basically all come from Europe and America, which is closely related to the cultural output of Europe and America in English over many years, just like the global influence of Hollywood films, firmly at the top.

Gu Qiuyi is most popular in the Chinese world, and her influence in the non-Chinese world is naturally much weaker.

But Tavana is different.

She is not only popular in English-speaking countries, but has great influence in any country in the world, and can be said to be the most successful singer in today's globalized development.

But at this moment, she is full of flattery toward Gu Qiuyi.

She does not quite know what the relationship between Gu Qiuyi and Ye Chen is, but she can tell from Ye Chen's tone and expression when talking on the phone with Gu Qiuyi that Ye Chen values her very much.

Since Ye Chen values her, she must also value her.

Gu Qiuyi had already prepared herself to meet her idol, but she did not expect the idol to be so polite, so she also said very humbly: "Miss Svet, I have long admired your great name; even before my debut, I was your fan!"

Tavana immediately said with a smile: "We two are both singers, so we can be considered colleagues, and since you are Mr. Ye's friend, you are naturally also my friend, so please don't be so polite!"

After saying that, she enthusiastically invited the two: "Mr. Ye, Miss Gu, let's go to the room to talk; I will have breakfast brought up, and we can eat while we chat."

Gu Qiuyi quickly said: "Sorry to trouble you, Miss Svet."

Tavana said with a stern expression: "If Miss Gu always acts this politely, then I will get angry, clearly not treating me as a friend."

Gu Qiuyi smiled and said: "No, no, I am truly honored to become friends with Miss Svet."

Tavana blinked and smiled, took her arm, and said with a laugh: "Just call me Tavana; no need to call me Miss Svet."

Saying that, she treated Gu Qiuyi like a close sister, took her arm, and walked into the room.

The presidential suite at Buckingham Palace is over 400 square meters, very large, and very luxurious.

Tavana brought the two to the restaurant, and after they were seated, she eagerly said to Gu Qiuyi: "Miss Gu, it is truly an honor to invite you to be a guest at my Yan Jing concert; regarding the appearance fee, we will fully respect the requirements of Miss Gu's agency."

Gu Qiuyi waved her hand and said: "Being your guest is my honor; how could I possibly take an appearance fee?"

Tavana laughed and said: "Sometimes we artists can only follow the company's commercial arrangements; some artists' companies do not allow artists to perform for free as endorsements or guests."

Gu Qiuyi smiled and said: "Don't worry, my agency is wholly owned by my family's enterprise, so everything is up to me."

Tavana happily laughed and said: "That's great; many things will be much simpler, and we can arrange this performance as we wish; to be honest, in the past, guest arrangements were basically just a halftime break, and when the guest went on stage to perform, I could just rest backstage, and only after the guest's performance ended could I start the second half, so basically there was no on-stage interaction with the guest."

Saying that, Tavana added: "This time I really want to have more interaction with you; ideally, we could sing one of my songs together, then one of your songs, and in between, a few songs would be sung by you alone; what do you think?"

Gu Qiuyi readily laughed and said: "I have no problem; I can basically sing all of your songs."

Saying that, Gu Qiuyi asked her with some concern: "By the way, my songs are basically all in Chinese; can you sing them?"

"Of course!" Tavana said with a laugh: "I have also been listening to your songs; we are both musicians, so remembering melodies is very fast; the lyrics might be a bit difficult, but that's fine—we can memorize them ourselves, and don't forget we have teleprompters live; I can mark the pronunciation of your songs with similar English words, so basically we can sing about seven or eight out of ten correctly!"

Ye Chen smiled from the side and said: "I see this method is used by singers in many countries; many Chinese singers also use it to mark English translations when singing English songs."

Saying that, he remembered something and laughed: "I remember there was a popular meme online before, called 'nao tai tao'."

Tavana looked completely confused, while Gu Qiuyi laughed out loud and said: "Ye Chen brother still remembers this meme..."

Ye Chen laughed and said: "It was quite famous back then."

Gu Qiuyi nodded, covered her mouth and laughed: "Indeed, it was very famous; many domestic singers, at that time, made up their minds to practice English pronunciation well."

After saying that, she was afraid of leaving Tavana, who didn't understand, out, so she laughed and said: "Let's continue; how many songs do you think I should sing roughly?"

Tavana laughed and said: "Anything is fine; between five and eight songs is no problem; too long and the performance will run overtime too much."

Gu Qiuyi smiled and said: "Five songs; too many would steal the show, everyone is here to see you, and I shouldn't take up too much time."

Tavana said: "If it's five songs, when you go on stage, I won't rush to leave; I will first introduce the guest to the audience, then you go on stage, we two sing one of my songs together, then I step down to rest a bit, you sing three songs alone, and when the last song ends, I go back on stage to sing one of your songs with you; what do you think?"

"No problem!" Gu Qiuyi said with a laugh: "This arrangement is very good! Let's just do it like this!"

After saying that, she turned to Ye Chen and asked: "Ye Chen brother, will you be backstage then?"

"Of course." Ye Chen nodded and laughed: "I am the Feng Shui supervisor, so I definitely need to be on site."

"That's great!" Gu Qiuyi happily said: "Ye Chen brother, I happen to have a song about an ancient assassin theme, which needs a masked assassin dance partner; why don't you come masked to help me with the dance?"

Ye Chen quickly refused: "I can't dance at all! No, no, you should still find a professional person!"

Gu Qiuyi earnestly said: "It's not really dancing, just to show the stage effect, and this person also doesn't have any dance moves, only martial arts moves; Ye Chen brother, you are not bad at martial arts, right? Just come with a set of professional martial arts moves, and that's enough; besides, you only need to come to my side at a few special parts to interact with me; other times you can completely improvise on stage."

Ye Chen shook his head and said: "Oh dear, I'm not a professional either; if I perform poorly, wouldn't I embarrass you?"

Gu Qiuyi clung to his arm, coquettishly saying: "Ye Chen brother, even if you perform poorly, it won't be embarrassing, and besides, your strength is so strong that you couldn't possibly perform poorly! At the scene, there will also be a wire-flying segment; you will wear ancient assassin attire, wear a mask, hold a long sword, fly on wires, very handsome! And you don't even need to show your face; the mask is full-face, so even if my parents are in the audience below, they definitely won't recognize you!"

Tavana beside them suddenly brightened, saying: "Isn't that song just called 'Assassin'? I also like it; why don't we two sing it together, and let Mr. Ye be our dance partner?"
