Entertaining Children

  Chapter 525 Host

  In the recording studio where the results were announced, seven singers sitting on single sofas lined up, and each agent also sat in high chairs behind their respective singers. And standing in front of them is Tao Ran, the chief director of the show who will announce their fate on the show.

"This is the first kick-club match of this season. Let’s welcome the first kick-club singer, Xiao Yao!" After reading the advertising message from the show sponsor, Tao Ran first spoke to Xiao Yao, who was in the show for the first time. Welcomed. Everyone applauded, and Xiao Yao politely stood up and bowed to the other singers.

   "I want to ask first, how did Xiao Yao feel when he came to our show?" Tao Ran asked Xiao Yao.

   "It was okay before I came, when I was preparing, and when I sang, I was a little nervous after singing now!" Xiao Yao said calmly.

   "Bah, you are not nervous!" Hong Wei couldn't help but spit out, "Just like you, is that like a nervous person?"

   "I heard that you were having a great time in the lounge, right?" Tao Ran smiled and said, "What seemed to be interrupted when my assistant asked you to come over to listen to the results?"

   "Yes!" Several singers and agents all smiled and said, "Let's miss a good show!"

   "Teacher Hong," Tao Ran looked at Hong Wei again, "I remember you said in the last issue that no newcomer was allowed to come in, so just lock the door of door six! How do you feel now?"

"I don't think door 6 can be locked now, even if it is locked, I have to be kicked!" Hong Wei smiled, and then said, "I still don't want any starting singer to leave, but if Xiao Yao squeezed in If you come, I can accept it emotionally!"

   "Teacher Hong, don't you love us anymore?" Zhao Lixun immediately looked aggrieved and said in unstandard Mandarin.

   "Love, I love you all!" Hong Wei said immediately.

   "But, I love Xiao Yao even more," Hong Wei turned around again, "Even though he tricked you to make me dance that inexplicable dance, I still love him!"

   "Hehe~" Hong Wei's performance naturally drew a burst of laughter.

"It seems that Xiao Yao is not only very good on stage, but also very good offstage. He soon won the love of our teacher Hong Wei." Tao Ran smiled, "But in the final analysis, our show I can still speak with the results of the performance on stage. Now the voting results of the audience are in my hands, and I will start to announce the ranking results of everyone’s votes in this issue."

When announcing the results, the director could not help but deliberately play some tricks that drew appetites, but there is no "singer cast" link in this world's show, and Tao Ran did not have the director of the previous life who suddenly ran to drink water halfway through the talk. Or after reading the rank and singer's name, add the sentence "Do you think it will be you?" to play with those frenzied stalks. So about a few minutes later, five out of seven singers announced their results.

  The suspense that Xiao Yao left or left was left to the end of course. Only Xiao Yao and South Korean singer Liu Youyuan were the singers who did not announce their results, while the unannounced rankings were second and sixth. If Xiao Yao gets second, then Zhao Lixun, who has announced the seventh place, will be eliminated, and if Xiao Yao gets sixth, Xiao Yao himself will be eliminated.

"Then Xiao Yao and Liu Youyuan are the second and sixth. Is Xiao Yao or Zhao Lixun eliminated? We enter the advertisement, and after the advertisement, we will come back to announce the results." Tao Ran finally sold a pass, and after speaking, picked it up. Take a sip of mineral water from the sponsor brand next to it.

   "You are so annoying!" Hong Wei immediately exclaimed in dissatisfaction.

  Other people who were nervously waiting for the result also complained a few words, but Xiao Yao still sat in the seat and smiled unmoved. After being baptized by the show in his previous life, Xiao Yao felt that Tao Ran, the female chief director, was already very "conscientious."

   "Okay, now we announce the second place in the audience vote," Tao Ran continued, who drank his mouth and moistened his throat. The advertisement was edited afterwards, so you don’t need to actually put the advertisement on the spot.

  Hearing Tao Ran's words, everyone calmed down and stared at Tao Ran's mouth nervously.

  "The second place in the audience's vote this time is...Xiao Yao!" Tao Ran said Xiao Yao's name without dragging it too long.

   "Yeah!" Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao who were sitting together did not pretend to be "unfamiliar" this time. Xiao Siqi immediately yelled and hugged Xiao Yao sideways. Xiao Yao also hugged his dad tightly.

   "Then the sixth place is Liu Youyuan!" Amid the applause of several agents, Tao Ran also named the last singer's place.

"Congratulations to Xiao Yao for his success in playing in the stadium. At the same time, I have to announce with regret that our other starting singer, Zhao Lixun, is leaving our stage temporarily." Tao Ran continued, "Thank you very much for these three episodes on this stage. We are also looking forward to your performance in the breakout match."

  At the time of farewell, several applauding agents immediately calmed down, Zhao Lixun also got up from his seat and bowed to greet everyone.

  After several singers took turns to hug Zhao Lixun and bid farewell, Zhao Lixun stood facing the camera lens in front and said a very touching parting speech. Several emotional female singers also wiped the corners of their eyes unconsciously.

   "Wait a moment," Seeing that several singers left their positions and were going to bid farewell to Zhao Lixun personally, Tao Ran had to interrupt everyone and said, "We have another task today."

   "Huh?" Everyone strangely stopped to look at Tao Ran.

"Zhao Lixun is the host of our show. He temporarily left this show today, which means that he will not be able to come back to be the host of the next few episodes, so we have to choose among your six singers today. Send out a new host." Tao Ran said, "In the past, the selection of the host was made by our director team, but today, our director team would like to hear your singer's opinions. Do you think who is more suitable to replace Zhao Lixun as the host? People? Feel free to comment."

"I think let my sister Ruki go!" Cai Ruoqi's agent raised her hand first, "Brother Lixun's weird Hong Kong-flavored Mandarin is a major feature of the show. Although our Ruki's Mandarin sounds very standard, but The babbling Treasure Island accent is also very attractive."

   "Then Wowwon and Oppa can do that too." Zhang Qiao also said, "Doesn't the Koreans speak Chinese more interesting?"

   "Does Youyuan speak Chinese?" Tao Ran looked at Liu Youyuan and said.

   "I can only say a few words, but I can learn it." Zhang Qiao said, "How many words can there be on the desk? It's okay to learn it every week, right?"

"Are you sure?" Zhao Lixun, who has not left the scene, smiled bitterly. "You have never done this before, but you don’t know the hard work! Do you know that it takes me more than an hour to recite the notebook, and every time I get on stage I was so nervous all the time, even more nervous than I sang. And the continuation of this kind of tension will also affect the performance when singing."

   "Huh?" Zhang Qiao and Cai Ruoqi's agents were dumbfounded. They all only wanted to help their singers increase their chances of showing up, but they didn't consider this factor.

   "When the Mandarin is not well spoken, it becomes the standard for selecting a host." The agent sitting behind Hong Wei smiled.

   "Isn't our show always like this?" Shen Man looked at him and said.

  "It's also ha~" Hong Wei's agent nodded, which immediately caused a lot of laughter on the scene.

"We are not all thinking about fun." Tao Ran also smiled. "In fact, when Zhao Lixun was young, he was a host of children's programs on Hong Kong Island. Although he was a Cantonese host, it was more than ten years ago. , That is also experienced in hosting. Although the audience is more tolerant of participating singers as a host, we do not want the host to make too many mistakes on the stage. And I want to be honest, being a host is indeed It will have a certain impact on the singer's preparations, and it will take a lot of extra time just to be booked."

  Hearing Tao Ran say this, Zhang Qiao and Cai Ruoqi’s agents hesitated.

   "Let me come!" Xiao Yao raised his hand.

  "You?" Everyone looked at Xiao Yao.

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded and laughed, "I am the youngest, so I can do more. But if I go on, the host will be a completely different style. I have a certificate of Grade 1 and 2 in Mandarin, which is weird. I can imitate the funny accent, but I definitely can’t say it when I’m on the stage host. I’m afraid our line teacher will trouble me.”

Since the first morning exercise to show everyone his own tongue twisters, Xiao Yao went down to take a Putonghua level certificate at the suggestion of the line teacher, because he was too busy before the test and not prepared enough, and it happened to be too busy. Encountered a few relatively rare characters, there were phonological errors. I scored 96 points on the test, and only got a first-level and second-level results.

   "Level 1?" Tao Ran was surprised, "They meet the Mandarin requirements of professional hosts."

  This result is already very good in everyone's eyes. Professional announcers and hosts have a first-level standard for Mandarin, and they are all acceptable.

  "The Mandarin requirements of our film and television drama actors are also above the first level." Xiao Yao pointed to himself.

What Xiao Yao said is good, but the current reality is that, apart from the better situation of drama actors, film and television actors who can perform post-dubbing are not so strict in this regard. Among them, those who do not meet the standard in Mandarin are also big. Someone is there, and it doesn't affect them much.

"Hey, you are participating in "Singer"!" Tao Ran deliberately smiled and reminded Xiao Yao, "Our show is a very professional music show. What do you emphasize, you film and television actors, are you talking to other teachers? Provocative?"

   "He kid, who wouldn't dare to provoke him?" Hong Wei curled his mouth and said, "He is so good, let him be the host. Make him a little more difficult."

   "Agree! Make him more difficult!"

   "That is, he is the youngest, who doesn't work hard, who does he work hard?"

   Several other singers also agreed.

"Huh, our Xiao Yao is a person who can recite a thousand words in a minute. He showed his skills when he was in the opera exam last year." Shen Man said proudly, "Big Brother Lixun takes an hour to recite Taiwanese books. Our Xiao Yao might do it in a few minutes, and that might not be too difficult."

"Hey, do you mean I'm bad?" Zhao Lixun on one side immediately pretended to be angry and pointed at Shen Man and walked over, "I'm IKEA Zhongqi, I'm still standing here!) "Zhao Lixun was so excited that he even spoke Cantonese.

   "It's enough for your Xiaoyao to get rid of Big Brother Lixun in the kicking hall. You also deliberately irritate others," Wei Sen also deliberately fanned out, "Shen Man, you broke your studies!"

   "Oh, Brother Lixun, I was wrong!" Shen Man hurriedly got down and hid behind Xiao Yao.

   "The slender girl made a mistake, she is so scumbag (the little girl said the wrong thing, don't lose her temper)!" Xiao Yao quickly stood up and stopped Zhao Lixun.

  "Do you Zhongshi speak Cantonese?" Zhao Lixun looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.

   "Damn, this guy can speak Cantonese?" Everyone looked at Xiao Yao again in surprise. Although they didn't understand what Xiao Yao said, they still distinguished the three characters of "Cantonese" by Zhao Lixun.

   "Ma Ma Di (so-so)." Xiao Yao said modestly.

   "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

   "Oh!" Zhang Qiao suddenly yelled, "Just now Brother Youyuan asked me what they were talking about. I didn't understand it myself, how can I translate for him!"

  The translation software connected to Liu Youyuan’s Bluetooth headset translates Chinese into Korean, but it cannot translate Cantonese.

"Don't talk about Korean Oppa, I didn't understand what they said just now." Hong Wei shouted to Tao Ran, "Director Tao, do you think we have a Cantonese translation for each of us? . It’s too uncomfortable not to understand what others are saying."

   "Yes, yeah." The other singers also laughed and roared.

  "We don't have such a high level of configuration." Tao Ran smiled and shook his head, "Besides, Zhao Lixun will leave temporarily after today. Is it necessary to have a Cantonese translation? Xiao Yao is talking to himself?"

  "Is there no one from Hong Kong Island or Guangdong Province for the replacement singer and the kicking hall singer?" Xiao Yao laughed.

   "Uh..." Tao Ran choked.

   Xiao Yao saw that Zhao Lixun had forgotten to trouble Shen Man, and walked to Cai Ruoqi and said, "Sister Ruki, do you speak Hokkien or Hakka? If you want to talk with people in the language of your hometown, you can also find me."

   "Huh?" Cai Ruoqi stared, "You can even speak Hokkien and Hakka?"

   "No, so I want to learn from you." Xiao Yao smiled.

   "Puff ~ ha!" Everyone laughed again.

"I have a good memory, I can remember it once, and I am very talented in learning languages." Xiao Yao said solemnly, "On the day we recorded the show, you told me the last day, as long as we can hold on to the end. For the finals, I guess I will be able to learn your native dialect after this show is over."

"Hey, Xiao Yao, you are enough!" Hong Wei said unbearably, "This kid, you must get him to be the host! Cantonese for a while, Hokkien Hakka for a while, who can stand it?" The host is a singer. We stay in the rest hall for the shortest time, and always stay in the studio during the competition.

   "Well, I think so too." Tao Ran smiled and nodded, "The little guy is too noisy, let him be the host, and find him something to do. It's so decided, don't you have any comments?"

   "No opinion!" Everyone smiled and nodded in agreement.
