Entertaining Children

  Chapter 491 Background Music

  The vacation is close to two weeks. Of course, it’s not that Mr. Cui, the teacher in charge of the class, can grant the leave. At least the approval of the leaders of their secondary colleges must be obtained. Teacher Cui dared to say to Xiao Yao so surely that he was going to leave, because Mr. Cui has not been a short time teacher in Shenxi. According to her understanding of college leaders, based on Xiao Yao’s learning situation and the reason for asking for leave, the college The leaders here will certainly not disapprove Xiao Yao's leave. After talking with Xiao Yao, Teacher Cui immediately reported Xiao Yao's application for leave to the leaders of the college, and the leader really agreed to Xiao Yao's leave application as teacher Cui expected.

  Finishing the leave in school, Xiao Yao went to Yin Xi’s studio in the afternoon and devoted himself to the preparations for the press conference.

   Xiao Yao first came to the site of the press conference. The staff of the planning company has organized the construction manpower, prepared all the required equipment and materials, and waited for Xiao Yao to come and guide the start of the construction. After Xiao Yao arrived at the site, the person in charge of the planning company's construction immediately came over and listened to him explain the site layout requirements in detail.

  Fashion catwalks are naturally indispensable for catwalks, and the display aisle of this fashion model catwalk designed by Xiao Yao is not a common standard T-shape, but is composed of an oval and a round stage splicing together. In fact, "T台" is just the name in Chinese. Its English is not "T-stage" but "runway" or "catwalk". At least literally, Xiao Yao didn't think it must be the word T. Type.

In addition to modifying the appearance of the T stage, Xiao Yao also requested that the ground of the T stage be changed from the transparent glass with lights installed below to a display screen. Like the background wall behind the T stage, it is also required to use seamless splicing to make It looks like a whole piece.

The appearance of the T stage has been changed, and the seating position of the audience needs to be changed accordingly. The two neatly shaped audience seats on both sides of the vertical aisle of the T stage have also been arranged in an arc shape. At the same time, in order to ensure the sight of the audience , The front and rear rows of these spectator seats are still ascending in sequence like stairs.

Lighting equipment is also indispensable. In addition to the various spotlights that can control the projection direction and color originally installed on the bracket slides, Xiao Yao also requires that several sets of the bracket slides that can control the projection direction be installed on the bracket slides. Projection equipment.

  As for the audio equipment, there are basically no special requirements, just install them according to the location and method they originally selected. Although Xiao Yao has participated in the Eva show several times, he did not plan to have a singer guest perform or something during the model catwalk of his brand conference.

  However, even if the layout and installation of audio equipment are not changed, only the changes to the T stage, auditorium, background wall and lighting equipment are a big project. Xiao Yao and the person in charge of on-site construction of the planning company explained for nearly two hours before the person in charge clearly understood all of Xiao Yao's requirements.

The planning company that Yin Xi invited was still very professional and capable. After understanding all of Xiao Yao's requirements, the person in charge immediately stated that the conference site could be arranged in accordance with Xiao Yao's requirements within four days. . In this case, the entire conference can have a day and a half for rehearsal. This is for people who plan to manually control the lights and projections at the conference to match the models on the T stage, the background pictures displayed on the T stage floor and the background wall. For Xiao Yao, it can be considered loose enough.

  After the on-site layout requirements of the press conference are explained, the on-site construction can be handed over to the person in charge of the planning company. Xiao Yao only needs to check the construction progress at a fixed point in the next few days, instead of staying on-site to supervise the work.

   Coming out of the press conference, Xiao Yao ran into Fang Still.

   "Why are you here? The things that Sister Xi gave you are finished?" Xiao Yao asked Fang still.

Although Yin Xi is responsible for inviting the celebrity guests who will come to join the press conference, but the list of celebrities she intends to invite is close to Xiao Yao or because of Xiao Yao’s face, she may agree to come. Yes, I just wanted to borrow Xiao Yao's agent, and Yu Fang would still come forward to contact those celebrities related to Xiao Yao.

  Xiao Yao has no performance business to contact during this time. It is enough for the assistant to have Pei Minyi alone. He still has no objection to Yin Xi’s borrowing party. Once this brand is done, it will also be of great help to Xiao Yao's acting career. This can also be regarded as a matter within the scope of the agent's duties as Fang, and Fang still has no objection. Therefore, it was Pei Minyi following Xiao Yao these days, and Fang still did the communication work according to Yin Xi's requirements.

"It's done." Fang still smiled and nodded, "Ms. Yin gave me the list of people who have a very good relationship with you. I heard that you and Miss Yin are working together to develop a personal brand and develop a conference. I'm very interested. I didn't take much effort to confirm everything with them."

   "Okay," Xiao Yao nodded, "It just so happens that I have something to do on my side, and I am about to call you to ask how you are doing."

   "What's the matter?" Fang still said.

  "Background music for the conference," Xiao Yao said, "I plan to use original songs as the background music for the conference. These songs are not all suitable for me to sing. I need you to help me contact the singer to sing."

   "Is it recording or performing?" Fang still said, "Do you want some singers and models to perform on the same stage as the Eva show?"

  Fang still only heard from Yin Xi that Xiao Yao took over the entire planning and design of the conference, but he had never read Xiao Yao's fashion conference planning book. When she wanted to come, Xiao Yao wanted to play tricks at the press conference. Most of them would follow the Eva show to a good singer and perform on the same stage. After all, Xiao Yao participated in the Eva show several times, and there are many singers and stars with good relationships. It's not a problem to get a press conference like the Eva Show.

   "Recording, not performance!" Xiao Yao said, "I didn't plan to let the singer perform live, not even a live band. The scene is only playing background music through the stereo, so it needs to be recorded in advance."

   "Well, who are you looking for?" Fang still nodded.

"In addition to the singer, recording also needs an accompaniment band." Xiao Yao said, "The number of musicians with various instruments plus singers is quite large, so I'm afraid you can't remember. You go to the office with me, I will make a list for you."

  Speaking, Xiao Yao took the lead and walked to the design room, preparing to go to the office where he spent the night yesterday. I have to say, that office still made Xiao Yao feel comfortable.

   "Wait," Fang still followed Xiao Yao for two steps, and suddenly stopped Xiao Yao.

   "Huh?" Xiao Yao looked back suspiciously.

   "I forgot to tell you something." Fang still said, "Miss Yin asked me to tell you that your teacher has arrived. In the studio, I asked you if you want to see it?"

"Teacher? Studio?" Xiao Yao thought for a while, and then came to understand, "She said Chen Xuan? He should be taking promotional photos for the models in the studio now. I have watched him take pictures for many years. Now, photography skills and realm can't be improved by watching him take pictures on the spot. Now there are still things on hand. I won't pass it away. I'll talk about it later when I'm free."

"You can go check it out," Xiao Yao turned to Pei Minyi, "I will go to the office now to write down the songs with the background music after I have completed the list. There will be nothing I need you to help me. I'm running errands. The shooting scenes of top international photographers can not be seen all the time. You, the makeup artist, will also be rewarded if you go to see it. Just remember to send me dinner when it's time for dinner."

   "Really? Then I really went!" Pei Minyi said happily.

   Pei Minyi, a makeup artist who knows the fashion industry better, and also knows Thiel Chen, a famous French photographer, is of course eager to see his shooting scene with his own eyes.

  Xiao Yao prepared four songs as background music for this conference, all of which were taken from previous lives. They are Jasmine Thompson's "AlmostLover", Leona Lewis's "BleedingLove", Huang Lingkai's "One Person" and DonMclean's "Vincent". There are three English songs and one Chinese song in the four songs, which not only reflects that the target market targeted by this brand is an international high-end atmosphere, but also shows that this brand is the essence of a Huaxia brand.

  These four songs Xiao Yao did not intend to change the gender of the singer. Only DonMclean's "Vincent" is a male singer's song. Xiao Yao is going to sing it by himself. Xiao Yao is looking for other female singers in this world to cooperate with the other three songs of female singers in the previous life.

  The singer Xiao Yao works with is definitely his own. And the one who can be called himself is of course the signed singer of Qi Jia Studio.

  The female singers of Qi Jia Studio, except for Ye Jiaying, who played a music album more than ten years ago, are Fan Linxuan and Gong Chen. For more than a year, Xiao Yao has been cooperating with Gong Chen, and since cooperating with Gong Chen, Xiao Yao has not helped Fan Linxuan write a song for more than a year. There are many fans of Fan Linxuan on the Internet. They all began to complain that Xiao Yao had forgotten their Fan Fan with Gong Chen, and even some of Xiao Yao's own fans "Pills" followed Fan Linxuan's "bells" and complained about Xiao Yao's "loving the new and disgusting the old."

  Fang, who is following Xiao Yao’s network dynamics, once also told Xiao Yao this kind of fan remarks. Although Xiao Yao just laughed after listening to it, Quandang was a boring ridicule by fans, and he did not take it too seriously. But now this Leona Lewis "Bleeding Love" is more suitable for Fan Linxuan, Xiao Yao is going to find Fan Linxuan to record this song. After the press conference was over, the song was officially released, which happened to be able to plug the mouths of the "pills" and "bells" who called themselves "loving the new and disgusting the old".

  Huang Lingkai’s "One Person" is a rock-like song. Speaking of female singers who sing rock and roll, another female singer of Qi Jia Studio, Gong Chen, is obviously not in the consideration. Xiao Yao's first choice is naturally Xu Yuan, who had cooperated last year and has a very good relationship.

   "Who is this Tang Jingjing?" Fang still saw the three singers written by Xiao Yao, and asked Xiao Yao suspiciously. Fang Linxuan and Xu Yuan are still very familiar with each other, but the third name written by Xiao Yao, Fang still hasn't even heard of it.

Xiao Yao laughed and said, "The contestants of the third season of "China New Sound Generation" on Shonan TV. If you don’t know you, you can look for the video of this show. If you don’t know how to contact her, you can go to the Variety Department of Shonan TV. Director Wang Yuan asked the "China New Sound Generation" program group for her contact information. That program group must know how to contact her."

  ""China New Sound Generation"? Isn't that a children's music talent show? Is this Tang Jingjing a child you are looking for?" Fang was still surprised.

   "Yes," Xiao Yao smiled, "She is twelve years old...oh no, she should be thirteen years old now, a 13-year-old girl, her voice is great!"

Jasmine Thompson in his previous life was not yet thirteen years old when he released the album "BundleOfTantrums" that included the song "AlmostLover". There were no similar good candidates among the people Xiao Yao knew, so he remembered an occasional appearance on a video website. I've seen a small contestant in a children's music talent show.

Although this Tang Jingjing is young, her voice is very distinctive, her singing skills are also very good, and the emotional expression ability shown when singing songs on that program is also very shocking. Compared with her previous life, she was on the "oil pipe" in all aspects. For Jasmine Thompson, who is popular in cover, it is worse than that. As long as she can speak English well, singing this song "Almost Lover" will be absolutely no problem. Of course, even if there is a problem with her oral English, Xiao Yao will help her get this song down. Anyway, it was not a live performance, Xiao Yao had enough patience to correct her pronunciation a little bit. The only problem that worries Xiao Yao is whether a little girl at such a young age will let her parents let her come during school.

  However, Xiao Yao’s worry is obviously unnecessary. After participating in "China New Sound Generation", this Tang Jingjing has also participated in the "Mccard Children's Music Festival" and the National Day Art Festival held by Xiangnan Satellite TV, and also participated in the variety show of Xiangnan Satellite TV. Obviously, her parents wanted to Let her develop in the direction of a singer in the future.

In the "Kingdee Award" nomination list released at the end of February this year, although Xiao Yao was not eligible to compete for the New Human Award this year, he did not release an album throughout the year and he was not eligible for the album award, but he also won the best award again. Nominations for several awards including lyrics, best composition, best song producer, best folk song, best rock song, best electronic song, best song of the year, etc. The number of nominations he received at the "Golden Disc Awards" this year is a bit less than last year. It is also surprising that he has received such a large number of nominations for two consecutive years. After the nomination list for this year's "Golden Disc Award" was released, it further confirmed his "musical genius" name.

  How many big-name Chinese first-line singers are all rushing when they face Xiao Yao’s invitation to sing his original music works. What's more, Tang Jingjing is just a small well-known children's singer? Therefore, when Fang still contacted Tang Jingjing's parents through Xiangnan Satellite TV and explained to them that Xiao Yao invited Tang Jingjing to sing his music, both Tang Jingjing's parents and Tang Jingjing seemed extremely excited and happy.

"Go to Shencheng to record? No problem, we will ask for leave from school right away! Come to Shencheng tomorrow! Want to sing English songs? No problem, our Jingjing's English is good. If necessary, we can also find a teacher to treat her. Practice intensive oral English." Tang Jingjing's mother happily still said the other party on the phone.
