Entertaining Children

  Chapter 544 First and Seventh

   "No need to pay, this suit is given to you." Xiao Yao took out a small plastic box from his body and handed it to Liang Xueying, "This is the controller of the lighting system of the suit on your body, you put it away."

  "This suit shouldn't be cheap, right?" Hong Wei smiled, "Xiao Yao, you are so generous!"

"Is this inappropriate?" Liang Xueying took the controller that Xiao Yao handed over, "You have helped me a lot. How can I ask for your clothes for nothing? This clothes looks better than a guitar. It’s too expensive! Of course, a guitar like your Longqin doesn’t count! I mean it’s much more expensive than ordinary guitars."

"I have also helped others prepare performance costumes before. Even if I didn't design it myself and used the existing finished styles of other brands, I also specially modified them according to the body data of the other party. All of them can be regarded as tailor-made." Xiao Yao is right. Liang Xueying said, “Since these costumes are customized according to their figure, it’s useless for me to keep them for myself, so my habit is to give the performance costumes to the other party after the performance. No matter whether the clothes are expensive or not, I do It was given, and the money has never been confiscated. This is my rule!"

"August One does have such a rule!" Xiao Siqi also said to help. "On that electronic music show last year, he customized costumes for all the 13 girls from the "Green Apple Girl" group, and then he also changed the clothes. I gave it to them, and didn’t charge a penny from them or their company. Why do you have more weight than the people in that girl group, right? If you feel embarrassed, you just owe him a favor. When he needs your help in the future, you can help him again."

"He helped me choose songs, arrange music, and design stage effects. Even if I don't count this outfit, I already owe him a great favor..." Liang Xueying hesitated, and finally nodded, "Okay." Anyway, if you have a lot of debt, don’t worry about it, so remember that you will have the opportunity to pay back your favor." For stars like them, money is not as important as a favor, since both father and son have made it clear If you don't need money, if you insist on paying, you will be happier, and it is easy to give people a sense of wanting to draw a clear line with the other party.

Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, then turned to Cai Ruoqi and said: "Sister Ruki, I am not a professional costume designer, and I am not in charge of designing costumes for people. I basically only design costumes, and the styles of these costumes are not necessarily guaranteed. They are all original designs, which are mainly designed to match the overall stage performance that I designed. It is part of the entire stage design. It is the job of a professional costume designer to design clothes individually."

   "That's good," Cai Ruoqi smiled, "Then I will ask you to be the designer of my next performance, and I will leave it to you for the selection of songs, arrangement, stage design, and costume design. How about?"

"How? Of course not so much! Brother is not an idiot!" Xiao Yao complained in his heart, but still smiled on his face, "This time I helped Sister Xueying because I won the first issue in this issue. It’s relatively safe, and my performance this time is relatively simple. It doesn’t take much time to prepare before I have time to help Sister Xueying design this performance. But the next phase will be a kick-off competition, and it may be a single game. Eliminated, my next performance will take a long time to prepare, so I’m sorry, I’m afraid I don’t have time to help you prepare the design for the next performance."

  "It's okay, it doesn't matter!" Cai Ruoqi waved her hands in embarrassment again and again, "We all have competition tasks, of course our own competition repertoire is more important. From now on, if there is a chance in the future, we will cooperate again!"

   Cai Ruoqi didn't feel any irritation about Xiao Yao's obvious rejection, but felt that she was a little impulsive and abrupt. After all, it is a direct competitor in a show. Xiao Yao helped Liang Xueying this time because he won first place in the previous period. He was not afraid of being eliminated in this period. But there is no reason to help his competitor in the next period.

"Your performance this time is more than simple, it's obviously too simple!" As if to resolve Cai Ruoqi's embarrassment, Hong Wei said to Xiao Yao, "Did you spend all your time helping Xueying design the stage effect? No time to design your own, so your performance is so simple?"

"No, I just think this song should be performed like this." Xiao Yao said, "A guitar for one person, simple and simple, just like the love in my song, simple and plain, but very warm and sweet ."

   "I think it's great," Liang Xueying also said, "The music and lyrics are great, and I sing very well. The environment on the scene is very warm, and it sounds very moving."

"But not everyone in the audience is like you, a person who has held a concert in the United States. You can understand all the lyrics when you hear this English song for the first time." Xiao Siqi said, "Sing a new song on this show. Li was a little bit at a loss. At any rate, Bayi was singing a song he wrote, which was a bit of compensation, but I didn't expect him to sing a new English song here! Among the 500 audience judges, at least the older ones Most of the audience in the age group didn't understand what he sang. His performance today is probably a bit ugly."

   "There are people who have sang French and Russian songs in this program. Not many people in the audience can understand them. I don't think their performance is very bad." Xiao Yao smiled to Xiao Siqi. In my memory, this seems to be the first time I have heard my dad express his dissatisfaction with his performance.

"That's different!" Xiao Siqi said to Xiao Yao with a sullen face, "People sing either the kind of world-famous song, and you don't need to distinguish the meaning of the lyrics on the spot to know what the singer is singing, or the song is difficult and you don't need to understand the lyrics. The audience is shocked just by listening to the singer’s voice and singing skills. I don’t deny that your song is very good and you sing very well, but what song are you singing today? A typical American ballad! Folk ballad The narrative in the middle of the story accounts for a large proportion. If you don’t listen to the lyrics, the audience doesn’t know what story you’re telling and how to resonate with you? You don’t understand these things, do you?”

   "Wow, Lao Xiao, you look the most like an old man today!" Hong Wei said with a thumbs up.

"I know," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "but I don't want to sing Chinese songs all the time, but I also want to sing English songs occasionally. I think I have the foundation of the previous issue, and I'm still relatively safe, even this issue The grades are worse, and I should not be eliminated. It is a good opportunity to sing English songs."

"You want to sing English songs, can't you sing the classic old English songs that others know? You have to sing original new songs?" Qin Xiaodong curiously said, "Don't say anything else, among us, Xueying has already sang English. Singing, she sings your song, you sing her song, how nice? You can adapt your own song to suit her, can't you not adapt her song to suit you to sing?"

"In fact, before I agreed to participate in this program, I asked Director Tao to always sing my own songs on the show. Director Tao said that the program should show the comprehensiveness of the singer and minimize the influence of the song's popularity on the original. The singer’s superimposed influence, so I promised Director Tao to sing his original new song every issue, and that it’s not a genre song." Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "Although I regret it a little bit now, but when I say it, I still have to count!"

"Oh, I'll go! With your kid, you still keep restricting yourself to compete with us. I thought you just have a few original new songs that you want to use this opportunity to release." Hong Wei shouted, "Yours It means that as long as you are still on this show, then every issue must be a new song that we haven’t heard before? How many unreleased new songs do you have now? There are only ten episodes left in this show. If you have enough songs in your hand, you can see if there are any songs suitable for Sister Hong. How about I invite you to songs? By the way, Sister Hong, I haven't released a single for a long time."

   "Me too!" Liang Xueying and Cai Ruoqi said in unison.

"No," Xiao Yao said, shaking his head, "I don't know how many episodes I can stay on this show, and I haven't written many songs in advance. The songs in these shows are all written by me in the week before the competition. I also came according to the specific situation of the competition. For example, I took the first place last issue and felt safer, so I wrote this English ballad more casually, which may not get very good results but can satisfy my personal desire to perform. , If I have other songs on hand, I won’t use this one."

  "Writing now every week?" Qin Xiaodong said in disbelief, "Are you sure you can write every week? What if you don't get stuck in inspiration?"

"If he wants to write, he will definitely be able to write." Xiao Siqi smiled, "The problem is, this guy is too lazy and wants to write songs too little. I have a bunch of people asking him to write songs on the desk of my office now. Invitations. Last year, a Korean entertainment company sent him invitations to write Korean songs. It has been more than a year, and those invitations are still on the desk of my office. But in March he had a brand development conference, and he was right The planning company was not satisfied with the plan of the press conference. While rewriting the plan, he wrote four songs at the same time as the background music at the press conference. If he does not participate in any program or experience something, he will not easily take out the songs. ."

   "So you recommended me to the program team to participate in "Singer"?" Xiao Yao smiled and said to Xiao Siqi, "My commitment to the program team to sing the original innovative song is just what you want, right?"

  "You said that I am a dad. In order to let my son write songs, I have to put his heart into the show to fight with myself. Do you think I am easy to me?" Xiao Siqi deliberately frustrated.

   "Come on, if you know your son is great, don't sneer here!" Hong Wei stared at Xiao Siqi.

"The voting statistics are out. Director Tao invites singers and agents to the recording studio!" It is still the last two shows to inform the singers and agents to announce the results of the audience's voting. The staff member opened the door and came in to let everyone know. .

  In the recording studio, the singers and agents were seated in their seats, and the chief director Tao Ran came to everyone again with the mobile phone with the voting results.

   "Thank you for the wonderful performance, and applause for everyone!" Tao Ran said the opening remarks, and first applauded several singers.

   "Today is the second game of the second round, which is what we call the knockout. So today is the time to announce a knockout singer." Tao Ran solemnly said. The singers and agents present also became nervous and serious.

"The singers eliminated this time are based on the results of the previous two games. That is to say, the higher the ranking in any of these two games, the more likely to be eliminated. "The smaller it is." Tao Ran said, "Everyone already knows the results of the previous game. For today's game, we will start with the announcement of the relatively safe singer."

   "I decided to announce the first place to everyone," Tao Ran relaxed some facial expressions, smiled and asked the seven singers in front of him, "Is anyone willing to guess?"

   "Sister Xueying!" Xiao Yao immediately raised his hand and shouted.

   "Why?" Tao Ran looked at Xiao Yao.

"Last time I said that I was number one, everyone said I was not humble. I am embarrassed to talk about myself, so I chose her!" Xiao Yao smiled and said, "Sister Xueying sings my song, and I helped her arrange the music, anyhow it has something to do with me!"

   "Haha! This reason is so powerful!" Tao Ran and the other singers and agents all laughed.

  "And your predictive ability is also very strong! You guessed it!" Tao Ran continued, "Congratulations to Liang Xueying, who won the first place in this game!"

   "Wow!" Liang Xueying and her manager behind her were so excited that they jumped from their seats at the same time!

  Several other singers also stood up and applauded with admiration.

  "Thank you, thank you everyone!" Liang Xueying bowed to everyone with excitement, then walked forward and hugged several singers in turn.

Since the seats of the singers and agents are arranged in the order of appearance, Liang Xueying, who sits at the farthest side, deliberately started with Liu Youyuan, who is the farthest and the farthest seated on the other side, and slowly hugs and walks all the way. Going back, that is, to leave Xiao Yao, who is the second one, sitting next to her until the end.

  When it was Xiao Yao's turn, Liang Xueying, who was already flushed with eyes, hugged Xiao Yao, and couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek!

   "Wow~" such a blast scene immediately drew a roar from everyone present.

"Okay, this is what I deserve!" Xiao Yao was stunned for a moment. Seeing Liang Xueying blushing and sitting down on her seat, he said to the other people with pride, "You envy, jealous and hate. Yes, if you have the ability to compose a song for Sister Xueying, you can also enjoy this thanks to the goddess."

Xiao Yao seems to be showing off ass, but these words are also a reminder that Liang Xueying’s kiss is just to thank her for choosing the song, arrange and design the stage and costumes for her. This performance helped her get the first place, suggesting that everyone is ridiculing. There should be a limit to joking, not too much. All the people present knew that Xiao Yao had a girlfriend who understood, so after such a rant, no one went to say something ridiculous and sat back in their seats one after another.

   "Okay, the number one in this field has been announced, everyone would like to know who's ranking next?" Tao Ran is also a sensible person, did not mention Liang Xueying's performance, and continued to ask everyone.

  "Since the number one in this field has been announced, and is not the same person as the number one in the field, then I want to hear which number one is in the field this time." This time it was Xiao Siqi who spoke.

"Well, I said that the rankings should be announced from the relatively safe singers," Tao Ran nodded. "The number one in the previous show is also relatively safe. Then I will announce the number one singer in the previous show. That is Xiao Yao's ranking."

  Tao Ran looked at the mobile phone in his hand and said, “His ranking results in this game are astonishing, as surprising as Liang Xueying! The audience vote of Xiao Yao in this show is seventh!”

   "What? Two people adjusted each other?!" Everyone on the scene showed surprised expressions.
