Entertaining Children

  Chapter 1242 Fresh background music

"Really?" Teacher Zhao smiled, then showed a puzzled expression, and asked Sun Tingting, "Then why was Tingting not so good when we practiced yesterday? Tingting spent a lot of money on our dance. It took half a day to remember all the actions!"

"It may be that the dance moves made by the two teachers are relatively difficult. Xiao Yao's two movements are relatively simple, right?" Sun Tingting said, "Also, it may be because Xiao Yao danced. Since childhood, he did it. Things, I always seem to remember things more clearly than other people's things!"

  "The last sentence is the key point, right?" Teacher Zhao smiled, "Remember what Xiao Yao did? This is a show of love!"

"Actually, I wasn't sure I remembered all of them before I jumped just now," Sun Tingting said. "But those movements are either the same as him, or the opposite, or they need to cooperate with each other. When jumping with him, it seems very I remembered naturally."

   "Have a good heart?" Lei Yu smiled bitterly, "It still sounds like a show of affection!"

   "Teacher Zhao, I suddenly feel that I am terrible in such a comparison!" Lei Yu turned to Teacher Zhao, "Should I give Xiao Yao the position of this partner?"

   "If it wasn't for Xiao Yao who was filming during this period, do you think this position will get you?" Teacher Zhao laughed, "I have participated in formal competitions in the United States!"

  Xiao Yao participated in the National Street Dance Competition in the United States. Although the National Street Dance Contest is also broadcast on TV, it can be regarded as a TV show, but the contestants are basically professional dancers and there are no entertaining stars. The nature of the competition is more professional dance competitions than variety shows.

  Lei Yu and several other professional dancers on the show became famous for participating in another dance talent show on Donghai TV in the past two years, and then became professional dancers for this show. From this point of view alone, Xiao Yao's experience in participating in dance competitions in the United States does not seem to be bad.

  If Xiao Yao participates in the show, the show team may deliberately put him in the lineup of professional dancers to partner with Sun Tingting for the effect of the show.

  Of course, this will definitely cause some controversy. But first, this is a variety show, not a professional dance competition. As a variety show, I am not too worried about this kind of controversy. Secondly, putting Xiao Yao in the professional dancer group is to increase his professionalism. Non-professional dancers partnering non-professional dancers to compete with professional dancers partnering non-professional dancers is actually a disadvantage. For other combinations of celebrities and professional dancer partners, they are actually taking advantage, and they may not necessarily be fiercely opposed.

   "It's just a final. He used to be a choreographer in the team!" Lei Yu retorted, "Even if he doesn't make a movie, he will be in the position of your two choreographers, not mine?"

  After all, Xiao Yao is an actor and singer. If he wants to participate in this show, he is more likely to participate as a star guest just like Sun Tingting.

   "Several teachers don't make fun of me!" Xiao Yao stopped the two of them and asked the two choreographers, "What do the teachers think of the overall effect of the dance between me and Tingting?"

   "It looks good," Teacher Li nodded and said, "But now there is a new problem!"

   "I know, the problem with background music!" Xiao Yao said, "The original background music is too short! But the dance now does not exceed the length of the song. It should be fine to cut it again!"

   "Well, the background music must be cut again," Teacher Li said, "but there is one more problem. I think there are a few parts of the hip-hop movement in front of you that are not so perfect with the music."

   "Oh?" Xiao Yao looked at Teacher Li and said, "Do you think the street dance moves are not compatible with the music, you want to change the song?"

"Not to change the song!" Teacher Li shook his head, "There is no problem with the rhythm of the street dance movements. It is worthy of the rhythm of this song. But I think the street dance movements in front of you are more powerful. There are some freeze-frame movements, and the background music has always been relatively gentle, and the expressiveness in this aspect is slightly worse."

   Xiao Yao thought for a while and nodded.

Although the hip-hop movements designed are softer and smoother, which can match the rhythm of the whole song, there are some short freeze-frame movements in the middle, which should be better matched with some drum beats in the music. The beginning part of the original version of the song did not match the drumbeats for these freeze-frame actions.

"This is easy!" Xiao Yao raised his head and said, "This song originally didn't have a prelude. I can make a melody and put it in front as a prelude. This prelude is specially made for that street dance action. Some drum beats match those freeze moves."

"In addition," Xiao Yao thought of the following movement, and continued, "I can also write another melody match for the latter gesture dance, and put it in the middle of the song, trying to make it feel consistent. There will be a sense of contradiction. In this way, the music and lyrics of your original dance moves will not need to be changed, and it will be more convenient to practice."

   "Write two more melodies? When can I write them?" Teacher Li asked, "Tingting and the others will record this round of the official game tomorrow night, and the stage rehearsal tomorrow afternoon."

   "It's okay, it's a big deal tomorrow morning to practice another morning!" Teacher Zhao said, "With Xiao Yao's ability, you can definitely write it in one night, right?"

   "In order to ensure the state of the official game tomorrow night, there will be no practice plan tomorrow morning." Sun Tingting whispered to Xiao Yao, "The main consideration is physical fitness!"

   "Don't wait until tomorrow!" Xiao Yao said, "It's almost noon now. You must have a break at noon? I can make it during the lunch break, and you can use it when you practice in the afternoon!"

   "Can you make it at noon?" Teacher Li looked at Xiao Yao.

   "Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded.

   "But we don't have band players in this show, and we don't even have musical instruments. What do you do?" Teacher Li asked.

  This show is a dance show. Although dance is also related to music, it is not the point in this show. The background music for the contestants is prepared in advance, all with accompaniment, and there is no live band in the show.

   "You can do it on the computer!" Xiao Yao said, and suddenly he patted his forehead and said, "Oh, my computer is not!"

   "Boss, I will drive you back to get it now?" Ye Qingyu said.

   "It's so far from the hotel, how long will it take you to come back?" Xiao Yao said, "When you come back, the lunch break is too early!"

   "Is it all necessary to have a computer?" The director Chen Sheng on the side said, "Our program group has a computer!"

"It's not okay to use any computer." Xiao Yao said, "I need to use very professional music software. Generally, if you are not a professional music creator, you won't have those software on your computer. Even if you download, download, and install from the Internet now It takes time to set up, and debug. It is estimated that it will take a long time."

   "That's probably not." Chen Sheng said, "We don't have a recording studio in this studio, and there is no resident musician in the program group."

  Although the program group will also contact some musicians to help the contestants prepare music for dancing, it is basically before the start of the practice, the program group does not need to ask the musicians to come to the recording location of the show.

   "What should I do?" Lei Yu asked, "I still have to wait for tomorrow?"

   "No, I can do it!" Xiao Yao said, "Although there is no band or recording studio for this show, there is one in this photography base. I will rent a recording studio at noon to do it!"

  This is a large-scale photography base. There are more than a dozen studios with different functions. Some are to meet the needs of shooting and recording variety shows, and some are set up to meet the special effects shooting of film and television works. There are also music programs in variety shows. Naturally, there are studios with recording studios in this photography base to meet the recording needs of such programs.

  "Are you sure there is one here?" Chen Sheng asked.

  Generally, the recording of a variety show only needs to use one or two studios. This base is not owned by Shanghai Television Station. The program crew only came here to record programs, and only needed to care about the studio they used. It was normal that they didn’t have the energy to care about the facilities of other studios in the base.

   "Of course it is!" Xiao Yao nodded, "It's in booth 6! I've been here before to participate in another show, and I knew it when I was wandering around the base."

   Another show that Xiao Yao had come here before was naturally "The Character of an Actor". The show was not a music show, and no recording studio was needed. However, Xiao Yao stayed here for two days. He got up the next morning and went to the base to observe whether the students had morning exercises. He basically walked around the entire photography base. Up.

  Although Xiao Yao just strolled through the open-air public areas and did not enter every studio, there are some introductions to the facilities inside some studios, which Xiao Yao has seen. Xiao Yao is a musician, so he naturally remembered the studio number with a recording studio.

   "That's OK, I'll send someone to contact the base management office to help you rent the recording studio in that studio!" Chen Sheng said immediately, "You guys wait a minute!"

   "Director Chen, do you plan to pay me an appearance fee?" Xiao Yao asked.

   "What?" Chen Sheng asked with some confusion.

"This visit to the class is not my commercial announcement. It's my personal behavior. It just happened to happen that you were filming." Xiao Yao said, "Since it is a private act, it is better for me to rent a recording studio by myself! If your program team rents for me, the nature of my visit this time will change, and I will ask you to pay for the appearance!"

   "If you change, you can change, and you pay for the show!" Chen Sheng laughed, "It's not that our program group can't afford it!"

   "But in this way, the nature of my visit to the class this time is different in someone's eyes!" Xiao Yao looked at Sun Tingting and said, "I think the gain is not worth the loss! So forget it, I'll rent it myself!"

   "噫~" Everyone followed Xiao Yao's eyes and immediately understood, and laughed and booed.

  Chen Sheng smiled and said, "Okay then! We will fulfill you and not be this villain!"

   "Then I will go now!" Xiao Yao said to the people in the dance studio, "Several people practice slowly."

   "Qing Yu, follow me!" Xiao Yao said to the two assistants standing next to the wall, "Xiao Ran, Qing Yu wants to record for me. You will send us two lunches in a moment!"

"Mr. Xiao, it’s okay for you to ask me to do work, but I think it’s not me who will deliver you food in a while!" Ding Ran smiled, "Don’t tell me that you can’t help me, that’s me. Can't rob others!"

   "Ding Ran!" Sun Tingting stared at Ding Ran.

   "What? You won't go for a while?" Ding Ran smiled.

   "It's almost noon now, should we practice here in the morning and watch Xiao Yao's recording together?" Teacher Zhao suggested.

   "No need!" Sun Tingting said, "It's not the end time we set, let's practice for a while, Xiao Yao's recording is nothing good!"

   "You have watched a lot, but we haven't seen it!" Teacher Zhao smiled.

"I still have to go to the management office to go through the procedures for renting a recording studio." Xiao Yao said, "Are you so many of you going to the management office with me? Or go to stand outside the 6th studio? There are more than 6 recording studios here. There is it in the shed. I don’t know if there is anyone in shed 6. I don’t have to rent shed 6. After I’ve done it, I will send a message to Ding Ran. If you want to go, it’s not too late to go."

  "Well, listen to you!" Teacher Zhao smiled.

   Xiao Yao took Ye Qingyu away and went to the management office of the photography base to talk to the relevant person in charge about renting a recording studio. There is a vacant recording studio in the photography base. Xiao Yao pays the price and records himself. The base does not need to find a recording engineer and other staff for him. Naturally, there is no problem.

  The recording studio in Studio 6 is idle, not far from the studio where Sun Tingting and others are located. Before talking about Studio 6, Xiao Yao rented the studio in Studio 6.

  After the base staff led to the recording studio, Xiao Yao asked Ye Qingyu to send a message to Ding Ran. He observed and understood the equipment in the recording studio, and then started work.

  It is not difficult for Xiao Yao to compose two dance moves for himself with two musical melodies. The slightly difficult part is that these two musical melodies must be connected to the song, and it doesn’t sound offensive.

  But this is only a little difficult for Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao remembers many classic songs and tunes from previous lives. In this life, he has already exercised his ability to create music. Xiao Yao is still very confident to complete this task in about two hours during the lunch break.

  When Xiao Yao left the dance studio, he did not take away the original background music of Sun Tingting and others. This is not a problem. You can learn that dance once you watch it. Xiao Yao also knows how the background music is cut on the basis of the full version of the song. Xiao Yao downloaded the full version of the song from the Internet, imported it into the equipment in the recording studio, and edited it in the same way, plus two new passages he made.

  The professional recording software Xiao Yao needs is available on the computer in the recording studio. However, since the recording studio has a complete set of musical instruments, Xiao Yao naturally does not need computer software for simulation. With Ye Qingyu's help to operate the recording equipment, Xiao Yao went to the recording room to play by himself, and the actual recording efficiency was not low.

  Almost half an hour later, Xiao Yao recorded the newly added prelude at the beginning. When Xiao Yao added this paragraph to the source material, Sun Tingting and others just arrived.

   Xiao Yao turned his head and glanced, and found that it was Sun Tingting carrying a big paper bag.

  "Have you eaten?" Xiao Yao asked.

  It was only half an hour, and Xiao Yao felt that Sun Tingting didn't look like she would come back after dinner.

   "No!" Sun Tingting shook her head and put the paper bag on the coffee table in the operation room, "I will eat with you!"

   "Qing Yu," Sun Tingting said to Ye Qingyu again, "I only brought two lunches, not with you! Let's go out to eat with Xiao Ran, and come back after eating. I'll help Xiao Yao record in a while!"

   Ye Qingyu only helped Xiao Yao operate the start and pause of the recording equipment, and Xiao Yao did the post processing himself. Sun Tingting and Xiao Yao spent a lot of time in Xiao Yao's recording studio. Simple recording equipment operation has long been learned from Xiao Yao.

   "If you don't rest at noon, aren't you tired?" Xiao Yao asked Sun Tingting.

  "Not tired!" Sun Tingting said, "Dancing in the morning is physically exhausting. Here you are sitting in front of the console and pushing a few buttons without any effort. Just like changing your mind and rest."

   "Okay, then you can help me record!" Xiao Yao nodded.

   "Oh, it's good to stay together for a while!" Teacher Zhao laughed, "It really is the state of loving a young couple."

   "Teacher Zhao, the first paragraph is done, do you want to listen to it?" Xiao Yao picked up a pair of headphones and handed it to Teacher Zhao, then changed the subject.

   "The first paragraph is done so soon!" Teacher Zhao came over with interest as expected.

   "Why is there no sound?" Teacher Zhao buckled the earphones on his head, and said with some confusion.

  "It's not open yet!" Xiao Yao smiled.

  "Boss, let's eat first, I'll come!" Ye Qingyu came over and said, "Neither choreographer has eaten either. Xiao Ran and I will go with the two teachers for a while!"

   "Okay!" Xiao Yao got up and gave Ye Qingyu the seat in front of the console, and sat on the sofa with Sun Tingting, taking food out of the paper bag.

  The new piece of music is not long, and it didn’t take long for the two choreographers and Lei Yu to come over and listen to it in turn.

   "It feels good!" Teacher Zhao smiled to Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting who were sitting on the sofa for dinner, "Don't bother you to eat, we have to eat too, see you in the dance studio in the afternoon!"
