Entertaining Children

  Chapter 49 Musical Instruments

The live broadcaster Zhao Mei heard this and immediately said to the scene next to him: "Xiao Chen, get ready for pen and ink." Turning to the headset, he said to Wang Yuan: "Brother Yuan, at the end of the program, there is a link for Xiao Yao to write calligraphy on the spot. , It’s fine if you know it, now don’t say anything, I’ll let Xiao Chen prepare something."

  Wang Yuan nodded lightly, indicating that he received it. He understands the director’s intention very well. After all, the culture of their program is their most important feature, and it is also a very important aspect that distinguishes them from other programs of the same type. Letting a five-year-old child write calligraphy on the spot is definitely A big point that fits the theme of their show very well.

  Wang Yuan simply continued to grab something from Xiao Yao and said, "August Yi, what else do you have besides calligraphy? Just talk about it."

  Xiao Yao thought for a while, and said: “I learned a lot of miscellaneous things, but most of them didn’t take a long time to learn. The only ones who have been practicing for a long time are martial arts, calligraphy and musical instruments.”

  "Do you know how to martial arts?" Wang Yuan said with great interest, "What type of martial arts? Which genre?"

"I only have a set of Shaolin Changquan now. The master who taught me has not officially accepted me as an apprentice, so I can't talk about genre now." After a pause, Xiao Yao pointed to his jeans again, "You Don't let me perform live, my clothes don't fit today."

  Wang Yuan really had the idea of ​​letting him demonstrate it on the spot, but he didn't expect Xiao Yao to block the conversation in advance.

  Martial arts are not performed, calligraphy is left to the end, and now I can only make a fuss about musical instruments. Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Yes, let's not embarrass people. But if you don't perform martial arts, you have to perform this instrument for us. We are all ready."

  Li Xian and Liu Yang, who got the hint, immediately went to the stage and brought the ukulele prepared by the program group in advance and helped Xiao Yao move a chair and put it in the center of the stage.

Wang Yuan took the Ukulele but did not immediately hand it to Xiao Yao. Instead, he raised it to the camera and said: "The audience who have watched the first issue of "Where Are You Going Dad" The introduction should know what this is, but considering that some viewers may not have seen it, I will simply say that this looks very similar to a guitar, it is much smaller than a guitar, and an instrument with two fewer strings is called an ukulele. ."

After the brief introduction, Wang Yuan took the ukulele and asked Xiao Siqi again: "You should teach you how to play on August 1st?" Seeing Xiao Siqi nodded, Wang Yuan continued to ask: "This instrument is not in our country. It’s common. How did you think of teaching Bayi to play this? Do you often play this?"

Xiao Siqi said: "It was more than a year ago when he started to learn a musical instrument on August 1st. He originally wanted to learn the guitar, but because he was only about the same height as the guitar at that time, and his hands were not big enough, he couldn't learn at all. Later it was him. When I saw this instrument on TV, I thought it was very similar to a guitar, and it was much smaller, so I wanted to learn it. In fact, I hadn’t played this instrument at that time, I just heard of it. But since Bayi wants to learn it. , I have to think of a way, so I bought it and learned it by myself first, and then taught him. Really speaking, I don’t have more time to play this, I mainly play the guitar more."

Wang Yuan smiled and nodded and said: "If the child wants to learn, you should teach yourself first, and then teach the child. It seems that your father is quite competent. Originally, I wanted you to demonstrate it first, since you said You don’t have much time for Bayi bombing. I think I should just let Bayi bombing."

  Speaking, Wang Yuan handed the ukulele in his hand to Xiao Yao who was already sitting in the chair, and said, "August Yi, show us a hand."

   Xiao Yao nodded, and after receiving the ukulele, he began to pluck and tune the strings one by one.

"Oh, it's quite professional." Andy himself also has a status singer and some instruments. He looks at Xiao Yao's tuning, especially when he hears that the tuning is quite accurate, he can't help it. Praised it.

"That is, don't look at who my dad is." Xiao Yao replied triumphantly, "My dad can hear the sound even if he hides the key in the guitar. As his son, I If you can't even tune the tone, wouldn't it be worth learning from him for more than a year." Xiao Yao will not let go of the opportunity to improve his father's positive image.

After Xiao Yao said, everyone remembered the scene of finding the key in the secret room in the first issue of "Where is Dad?", thinking of Xiao Siqi's terrifying musical qualities, they nodded one after another.

   Xiao Yao tuned the strings, and before Wang Yuan called to start, he started to play for himself. It was the hottest song "Most Beautiful" in Xiao Siqi's new album.

  After playing a song, there was naturally applause on and off the stage. At this time, Wang Yuan stood up again and asked Xiao Yao a difficult question: "August 1st, don’t come and go for this song. You have played this song "The Most Beautiful" in "Where Are You Going, Dad". Come on, come to our show, you have to give us another one. Besides your father's song, do you know other people's songs?"

   "Okay, then I'll change to another one." Xiao Yao nodded and directed his hand, and a prelude melody that Wang Yuan was so familiar with rang.

  "This..." The other hosts also opened their mouths in surprise.

  It turned out that Xiao Yao played a Cantonese song "The Real Me" by the late Southern Cantonese singer Chen Shirong. Wang Yuan once said on the show that his favorite singer is Chen Shirong, and sang this song "The Real Me" more than once on the show. Not only Wang Yuan, but several other hosts who have partnered with him for several years are very familiar with this song.

After    played the prelude, Wang Yuan sang along with Xiao Yao's eyes.

Wang Yuan has sang "The Real Me" countless times, and he sings very well and tastefully, but he is not a professional singer after all, and he cannot effectively sing with the rhythm and speed of Xiao Yao's playing. He can only sing according to habit. The rhythm speed of the original version comes. As a live performance, Xiao Yao naturally cannot achieve the same rhythm and speed as the original. Wang Yuan couldn't cooperate with Xiao Yao, so Xiao Yao could only cooperate with Wang Yuan. Especially in a few places where he paused, Xiao Yao forced the urge to pluck the strings with his fingers, and coordinated with Wang Yuan to wait for his voice to come out before adjusting.

  After the whole song was sung, the cooperation of the two was not perfect, but the whole singing was still wonderful. Considering that it was the first cooperation between the two on a temporary basis, coupled with Xiao Yao's age. The people on and off the stage gave the warmest applause, and even Andy was excited to put **** in his mouth and whistle.

Wang Yuan, who finished singing, said with excitement: "I have sung this song countless times, but I want to say that today is definitely the most special one. When the show is broadcast, I must record this passage myself. Cut it down into a CD and store it.” After a pause, Wang Yuan walked to the side of the stage and said to the camera at close range: “I’ve been doing this show for six years, and I’ve never asked for anything in the later stage. Today I’m the first time. Request: You are not allowed to cut this paragraph just now, otherwise I...I will try my best to ask you for it."

   "Brother Yuan, calm down!" Seeing that Wang Yuan was so excited, the other four hosts hurriedly gathered around to appease Wang Yuandao.

  As a very senior host, Wang Yuan was so excited, half of it was for the effect of the show, and half was sincerely moved by Xiao Yao. "The Real Me" is an old song almost 20 years ago. Whether it is Xiao Siqi or Xiao Yao, they are not people who listen to this kind of song often in terms of age. Compared with the smooth "Most Beautiful", Xiao Yao Obviously, the playing of "The Real Me" is a bit jerky. Obviously it is because he learned this song specially. This kid is too careful. No wonder the first one in "Where Are You Going, Dad" added dishes to the filming crew. It is him who sends warmth.

  Wang Yuan, who was pulled back to the center of the stage by the other four hosts, deliberately took two deep breaths before pulling the rhythm back. Thinking that there was enough time for the father and son alone, he moved on to the next link of the show.

Wang Yuan said, "Thank you for the wonderful performance of Bayi. We also experienced the ukulele through Bayi, which is not a common instrument. In fact, there are many other instruments in the world besides guitar and ukulele. We will introduce a few other plucked string instruments below. Some players are invited to bring their instruments to the stage. Please Siqi and Bayi sit down and watch.” As he said, Wang Yuan introduced Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao. I sat down on the chair prepared by the stage.

  A blast of music sounded, and accompanied by the sound of music, four people with musical instruments walked up from the background. Xiao Yao paid attention to the musical instruments held by the four of them, and saw that they were two Western musical instruments and two Chinese traditional musical instruments. Xiao Yao knows both of the two western musical instruments. One is the same ukulele as his own, and the other is known to Xiao Yao because he has watched live performances in his previous life. It is called a banjo. But never played. The two traditional Chinese musical instruments Xiao Yao look like pipa, but they seem to be different from the pipa in my own impression, so I'm not sure.

  Four people stood on the stage with music and lit up together, then walked to the front microphone fixed on the pole to introduce the instrument in hand.

The first one came up to a young man in his twenties holding a ukulele. He smiled bitterly and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Wu Le, and the instrument I brought to you is especially Kerry, but I just watched the performance of the Bayi children in the background, I think I was a bit redundant today." After speaking, he retreated with everyone's laughter.

The second person who came up was another young man holding a banjo. His expression was much better, and he smiled and said: "Hello everyone, my name is Chen Wen, and I brought you this one today. The instrument is called a banjo."

  The two Western musical instruments performers are men, and the two Chinese traditional musical instruments performers are women. The third young woman who came up was not tall and had the taste of a Jiangnan woman. She said softly: "Hello everyone, my name is Ruan Yuan, and the instrument I brought to you today is called Liuqin."

  The last young woman has the same temperament as the previous one, and she said to everyone with a gentle look: "Hello everyone, my name is Liu Ya, and the instrument I brought to you today is called Ruan."

  "Welcome, welcome." Seeing that the four people introduced themselves, the five hosts also walked to the middle of the stage again.

The escaped Andy was the first to open his mouth and suggest: "Brother Yuan, let's talk about this ukulele first. Mr. Wu Le, please go back, please leave it. We still invite Bayi up. "Speaking, Xiao Yao who was on the edge of the red wave waved.

  A camera immediately pointed the lens at Xiao Yao who was sitting on the side. Xiao Yao knew that Andy was purely teasing a guest on stage, and he waved his hand quickly, indicating that he could not go.

  Wu Le gave Andy a bitter look, but he really wanted to turn around and leave.

   "Hey! How can you be like this." As the boss, Wang Yuan quickly grabbed Wu Le and came out to preside over justice: "People have been very sad, you are too hurtful."
