Entertaining Children

  Chapter 519 Highlights

   Xiao Yao wants to watch and listen, he has to wait until the singers are all there before the recording at night. Since Xiao Yao didn't want to peek at other singers' rehearsals, there was nothing to do after recording the pre-match interview in the morning. After taking a short break to see that it was almost noon, Shen Man suggested that Xiao Yao go out for lunch first.

   "Do you want to take photos with you when you eat?" Xiao Yao asked, looking at the cameraman carrying the camera in the temporary lounge.

"Yes, but not necessarily broadcast." Shen Man said, "Our task today is to start from seeing you in the morning, and continue filming until the end of the recording of the show tonight. But which pictures will be broadcasted by the director team during post-production. Decided."

  "Then I won't go out. Still, you can help me buy lunch and eat it here." Xiao Yao picked up the guitar that was set aside again, and still ordered Fang to one side.

   "Huh? Are you eating lunch right here?" This time the film crew director said directly to Xiao Yao.

"Yeah." Xiao Yao nodded, "You have so many people, and it's so troublesome to run around. Brother cameraman is tired of running around carrying the machine. Anyway, there is a rehearsal in the afternoon. Do you have to come back? Why not just stay here."

   "I'm going to buy food," Fang still got up and said to the director of the production team, "You should have a working meal, I don't care about you."

   "Wait," the film crew director said, "Our program team provides lunch. If you really plan to eat here, and you don't mind the crude lunch provided by our program team..."

   "Don't mind." Xiao Yao waved his hand. Such a nationally well-known program, the box lunch provided is nowhere near simple.

"Still...No, Shen Man, you are my agent on this show, you should go with this matter," Xiao Yao turned to Shen Man, "Thank you for getting two copies for me and my agent. Box lunch, oh no, three servings. I have a lot of appetite and want to eat two."

   "Huh? Me?" Shen Man pointed to his nose in surprise, "This is what the agent does?"

   "Do you think that all agents are like me, but also part-time assistants?" Fang still gave Xiao Yao a grimace.

  "The agent is still working as an assistant part-time?" Shen Man groaned in his heart, "What configuration is this?"

   "I'm sorry, I'm used to it!" Xiao Yao smiled embarrassedly, and then asked, "Then how do you get this box of lunch? Your program group's box lunch, should your people come forward to receive it?"

   "Our program crew has a narrative, I just call and ask them to send it over." The film crew director said helplessly.

  She originally said that, but Xiao Yao really planned to eat the box lunch provided by the program group. It would be fine if he rushed to record the show at night, but it was his turn to rehearse at three o'clock in the afternoon at this big noon, and the time was obviously very abundant.

  It didn't take long for the crew in the program group to send the lunch to this temporary lounge. Whether it was Xiao Yao or Fang Dian, they just opened the box lunch and ate it. Shen Man also worked as a singer’s agent on this show in the previous two seasons. The filming director of the film crew also participated in the filming of the previous two seasons. They have seen agents like Fang, but like Xiao Yao. It's the first time they meet with unspecialized singers.

  After eating the lunch, Xiao Yao tidied the two lunch boxes in front of him, picked up the yogurt provided by the sponsor on the table and looked at the production date, then recklessly opened the bottle and poured it down. After drinking the yogurt and rinsed his mouth with mineral water, Xiao Yao picked up the guitar next to him and played again.

   "Aren't you playing a song that will be sung in a rehearsal for a while? Why is it different before and after dinner?" Shen Man asked Xiao Yao while picking up the vegetables in the lunch box.

  Xiao Yao doesn’t go out. She, the show manager and the entire crew of the filming team, can only accompany Xiao Yao to eat a boxed lunch in the lounge. The girl is slow to eat, Xiao Yao eats two boxes of lunch, and she hasn't finished one of them.

   "I didn't say it was the song I was going to sing tonight, I just played it casually." Xiao Yao smiled, "Do you have any songs you want to listen to? I'll play it for you."

   "Okay, then we'll take your piano sound for dinner." Shen Man smiled, "But I don't have anything special to listen to, you should just play it casually."

   "Okay." Xiao Yao nodded, and then bounced a song "A Beautiful Day" by Depapepe in his previous life.

  As a result, Shen Man, who said that he was going to eat with Xiao Yao’s guitar, didn’t move his chopsticks at all. When the song was over, Shen Man immediately asked Xiao Yao, “What kind of song is this?”

   "It's not a song, it's a pure guitar song." Xiao Yao laughed, "The name of the song is "A Beautiful Day", do you feel very happy after listening to it?"

   "Hmm," Shen Man nodded repeatedly, "It's so nice! Who wrote it?"

   "Thank you," Xiao Yao bowed slightly and bowed his head in greeting, "I wrote it."

  "Are you still writing pure music?" Shen Man asked in surprise.

   "Writing, not only guitar music, I have also written pure piano music and ocarina music." Xiao Yao said.

   "There are no pianos and ocarinas in this lounge," Shen Man said, "Do you have any other guitar songs you wrote? Would you like to play some more for us?"

"Yes, you can play it again." Xiao Yao nodded first, then looked at Shen Man's lunch box, "But I think you didn't move any chopsticks just now. This meal is almost cold. I still wait for you to finish it. Let's play again."

   "It's okay, I don't eat anymore. I just lost weight recently." Shen Man closed the lid of the box lunch and said.

   "It's shameful to waste~" Xiao Yao shook his head looking at the half of the box lunch left.

   "You..." Shen Man gritted his teeth, opened the lunch box, and pulled the rest of the meal into his mouth a few times, bulging his cheeks and staring at Xiao Yao, "Is this down?"

"Ah? I didn't force you to finish it either," Xiao Yao said with an innocent look, "I mean to suggest that if you can't finish a box lunch, you can share it with others before eating it. I think Brother Cameraman seems to be unable to eat enough for a boxed meal."

   "Are you kidding me?" Shen Man picked up the empty lunch box on the table in a rage.

   "Don't get excited, listen to the tune!" Xiao Yao immediately put a palm in front of him and made a stop gesture, "The next tune is called "TimeTravel"."

   "The pure guitar song you wrote still has an English name?" Shen Man snorted.

   Xiao Yao smiled and said, "Doesn’t the English name appear to be too high?" For the previous piece, Xiao Yao directly spoke the Chinese translation of the name considering that the people in the lounge did not understand Japanese.

  Shen Man wants to say something more, Xiao Yao’s fingers have been plucked on the strings, and the smooth and nice guitar sound rang, Shen Man will also put down the lunch box and sit down quietly.

  The film crew and the filming director who were also sitting on the side eating the lunch box subconsciously looked back at the camera set up in the lounge, and couldn't help feeling a little grateful. Although Xiao Yao didn't go out to eat, this piece of material in this lounge is much more interesting than taking Xiao Yao out to eat. Whether it is Xiao Yao's inadvertent guitar dazzling skills, or his interaction with Shen Man, the show manager, they are all very interesting.

   "Or Tao Tao has the foresight! Just because of his temperament, we have no worries about not being able to shoot interesting tidbits." The filming director said silently in his heart.

After playing for almost half an hour, about six or seven songs, Xiao Yao felt that his activities after dinner were almost the same, so he put down the guitar and said, "Tired, take a break." After saying that, Xiao Yao directly played horizontally. Lying on the long sofa where he was sitting.

  Xiao Yao loosened the loose zipper of the sweater, pulled up the back hood and put it on his head, so that the front end of the hat covered his eyes and said: "The concert is over. I will sleep for a while. Please call me when the rehearsal time is over."

   "Is this going to sleep?" Shen Man looked at Xiao Yao, then looked at Fang still aside, "Miss Fang, Xiao Yao still has the habit of taking a nap?"

   "No," Fang still smiled and shook his head, "Isn't he all right?"

   "So he is idle?" Shen Man also shook his head, "There will be more than two hours to rehearse, and the performance will be in the evening. He can sleep at this time?"

"He has a big heart." Fang still said, and found a comfortable posture to lean on the solo sofa she was sitting on, took out the tablet computer in her bag and started playing, and didn't mean to care about Xiao Yao at all. .

   "That... just sleep like this? Would you like to bring him a pillow, blindfold and blanket?" Shen Man still asked tentatively.

   "Hey, what about you?" Fang still didn't look up, and reached out to touch Xiao Yao's leg on the sofa.

   "No need!" Xiao Yao shrank his feet and said.

   "This TM is an assistant?" Shen Man and the crew were dumbfounded again.

  At three o'clock in the afternoon, Shen Man brought Xiao Yao, who had not fallen asleep at all and had conceived a parkour movie script for more than two hours in his head, to the studio where the program was recorded in the evening to perform a rehearsal of singing songs.

   "Hello, Teacher Liu." Xiao Yao walked directly onto the stage and greeted Liu Tong, the conductor and music director of the show, "Thank you."

"No trouble," Liu Tong smiled and greeted Xiao Yao and shook hands. "The arrangements are all made by you. We just spend some time to familiarize yourself with the score, and then work with you to cultivate a tacit understanding. I'll help you arrange the music, what's the trouble?"

   "Okay, let's get started." Xiao Yao smiled and walked to the prepared piano and sat down on the stage.

Seeing Xiao Yao walk to the piano and sit down, Shen Man, who remained in the audience with Fang and the film crew, shook his head again and secretly said, "I guess he is going to perform an instrument. But watching him play before and after lunch. Guitar, I thought that even if he wasn't practicing the songs he would perform at night, he was warming up for the evening performance. I didn't expect him to play the piano when he sang."

As Xiao Yao’s agent, Shen Man knew that Xiao Yao would perform an original song, but the score for this song was sent directly to Liu Tong in advance. She didn’t know what Xiao Yao would sing until the rehearsal. And what the whole show looks like.

Although    is a new song that has not been released before, Xiao Yao sent the score of the song to Liu Tong five days in advance. The band also practiced for several days, so Xiao Yao's rehearsal went smoothly. Although some problems were inevitably encountered in the middle, everyone adjusted and corrected quickly. After about half an hour, Xiao Yao and the band had reached a very tacit degree of cooperation, and the rehearsal ended early.

  After the rehearsal, Xiao Yao and others returned to the temporary lounge. After resting for more than two hours, I ate another box lunch provided by the program group for dinner, and there was not much time left before the program started recording.

   "Brother Camera, please lend me your camera." Xiao Yao put on a baseball cap and a mask, and reached out to grab the camera on the shoulder of the cameraman. According to what he said before, he was going to sneak into the rest hall of the singers, waiting for the appearance of the six starting singers, peeking and eavesdropping on what the first singers were saying about him.

   "Here, you just follow me over, this thing is quite heavy, there is no need to carry it by yourself." The cameraman hesitated.

"It's okay, it doesn't take a lot of trouble to carry it." Xiao Yao snatched the camera over, "Who has seen a cameraman next to someone who doesn't do anything? I don't want to attract their attention and be recognized by them. My dad is also among the six starting singers."

   "Then what am I doing?" The cameraman was robbed of the camera by Xiao Yao, and helplessly spread his hands and said to the filming director.

   "You rest!" Xiao Yao interjected directly, "Don't worry, I carry the camera is more than just a disguise. I can play this stuff, and I will help you shoot what you need."

   "And you two," Xiao Yao and the other party still said to Shen Man, "You two also rest, don't follow, lest you be recognized and expose me."

  This show in this life does not have the return performance of the knocked-out singer. After being knocked out, we can only wait for the breakout game later. Xiao Yao’s filming crew was originally to follow the singer who was eliminated in the previous two episodes. Although the co-director was also familiar, the other singers did not know the personnel arrangements of the program group. She appeared in the contestants. The rest area does not arouse any suspicion. It is not appropriate for Xiao Yao to run around with the camera alone, so in the end it was Xiao Yao who went to the singers' rest hall with the filming director.

When Xiao Yao followed the filming director named Mei Fang into the singer’s lounge, there were only ten minutes left before the show crew required the singers to arrive. There were already three singers and agents in the lobby, Xiao Yao Quietly followed Mei Fang to the working area of ​​the camera crew opposite the semicircular sofa where the singers were sitting, and pointed the camera at the singers who had already arrived, without attracting any attention.

  A few minutes later, the remaining singers and agents also arrived one after another. The six singers arrived. Xiao Yao also refreshed his spirits and pointed the camera lens on the singers.
