Entertaining Children

  Chapter 550 National and Cantonese Double Edition

   "You mean, Xiao Yao is going to bring Sun Tingting back to China to help him compete?" Mei Fang looked at Fang and said.

"It should be." Fang still said, "I told you what I found strange. If you are looking for teammates from the dance team, Xiao Yao can call them directly and ask them to go to China. You don't need to personally. Came to the U.S. His girlfriend is a student at Chambers Conservatory of Music. Xiao Yao came to the U.S. to rehearse. It should be to spend his girlfriend’s time so that she doesn’t have to take too long vacations and try not to take too long. Delay her studies."

"Sister Mei, I have an idea!" Wang Dachuan on the side interjected, "Do you think Xiao Yao helped Liang Xueying so much in the last issue? I was afraid that others would say that he had a special relationship with Liang Xueying, so I was picking it up right away. In the next issue, I pulled my girlfriend to perform on the show, deliberately brushing up on the sense of existence? Tell everyone that they are a couple. The last time Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting performed "Courage" on "Good Voice", it seems It is because some people on the Internet matched him with Zhu Zitong!"

"With Xiao Yao's character, it's really not impossible!" Fang still nodded, "It's not that Xiao Yao is afraid of his girlfriend's misunderstanding. Don't think his girlfriend has been in the United States for more than a year, but their relationship has always been stable. Xiao Yao deliberately took time to visit her in the United States last summer vacation. It’s just Xiao Yao’s character that he likes to do things that are beyond everyone’s expectations."

  "Does that mean that he might perform another sweet love song like "Courage" and "How Lucky" this time?" Wang Dachuan asked guessingly.

   "Maybe it is." Fang still said.

   "As his agent, you actually guessed and guessed here with us two outsiders." Mei Fang smiled, "Your agent is really good enough."

"What can I do?" Fang still said, "My agent is not his boss, but he has always been my boss. Even business matters are his own decision. What's more about this kind of music. He will discuss with me about business matters. He doesn't even tell me about this kind of professional music. To be honest, since I participated in the show, I don’t know. When did the songs he took out in each issue were written."

"Hey, you guys! What are you talking about?" Xiao Yao shouted back, "Hurry up and get in the car!" It turned out that the three of them were walking and chatting, and they had already opened a distance from Xiao Yao and the others. They all got to the side of the car to get on the car, and the three of them were still far away.

   "Come on!" The three agreed, and hurried a few steps.

  TJ and Paul each drove a car over, and the three people who picked up the plane and Xiao Yao and five people, the eight people were divided into two cars. After everyone got in the car, Paul and TJ drove them to the hotel where they had booked their room in advance.

   "Director Mei, I'm going to the recording studio soon. If you want to follow the filming, gather in the lobby in 15 minutes." After checking in and getting the room card, Xiao Yao said to Mei Fang again.

  "I just arrived in the U.S., did you put down your luggage and go to the recording studio without even taking a break?" Mei Fang was a little surprised, "Also, don't you have a recording studio in New York?"

   "The recording studio is rented." Xiao Yao said, "I have contacted my friends before I set off, and they have rented the recording studio for me."

"I have a lot to do this time, so the schedule is tighter." Xiao Yao continued, "I will use the recording studio from the afternoon to the evening. If you are tired from flying by plane, take a rest first. It’s okay to come by yourself later, I will send you the address of the studio in a moment."

"No, no, no, our task is to track and photograph your activities. You don't even take a break. What do we take?" Mei Fang waved his hand and said, "I see you in such a hurry, I'm afraid your body can't bear it, in case you get tired. In the next competition, coming on stage with an illness will affect the performance. Even if the singer is sick, our program will not tell the audience judges that the singer is sick in advance, and there will be no sympathy votes."

   "It's okay, I'm in good health." Xiao Yao smiled, "It's not easy to come to the United States. I have to do what I need to do together."

   "Well, let's see you in the lobby in fifteen minutes!" Mei Fang nodded.

  Half an hour later, the group of eight people came to a recording studio in New York. When getting off the car, Sun Tingting opened the trunk of Paul's car and carried a violin case out to hold it in her hand.

This is a recording studio that specializes in rental services. The equipment inside is first-class and the musical instruments are well prepared. However, in the entire recording studio, there is only an employee at the front desk and a technician who debugs and maintains the equipment. There is no sound engineer, etc. Any professional, so it is necessary for Xiao Yao to do it himself.

  After entering the recording studio they rented, Xiao Yao sat down in front of the console of the control room, while Sun Tingting opened the violin case directly and carried her violin into the recording room.

  Same as the daily tidbits in previous issues, Xiao Yao still refused to let the cameraman Wang Dachuan enter the recording room to shoot, and could only take shots of Sun Tingting playing the violin through the glass window in the control room.

  Mei Fang and others can clearly see that Sun Tingting had received Xiao Yao’s music in advance and had practiced it in advance, so the whole recording process went smoothly. When Sun Tingting played into the microphone in the recording room, Xiao Yao rarely interrupted. Almost half an hour later, Xiao Yao, who was wearing monitor headphones, gave Sun Tingting in the recording room a thumbs up through the glass window.

  Sun Tingting saw it, and happily left the recording room and returned to the control room.

"Great!" After Sun Tingting entered the control room, Xiao Yao pulled down the monitor headphones on his head and said again with his thumbs up. It's done in an hour! Do you want to listen now?"

   "No, I have confidence in myself." Sun Tingting wrinkled her nose and said, "Wait until you are all done. I will listen to it. I have another class in the afternoon and it's time to go back to school. I will come back to see you in the evening."

   "Okay," Xiao Yao nodded, "I can't send you off now, please pay attention to safety on the way!"

   "I'll send Tiana back to school," Paul said, standing up from the sofa in the control room. "You have to stay here for a long time anyway. I'll have nothing to sit here."

"I'll go together too." TJ also stood up and said, "Your assistant should be able to drive. I will leave my car to you. If you need a car, just drive my car. I will be with Paul. Go out and get some air.” As he said, TJ took out his car key and handed it to Xiao Yao. As dancers, they are actually very interested in music. It’s just that Xiao Yao is recording now. There is no external speaker in this console. They can only hear the sound in the recording room through monitor headphones. They are not interested in listening to this with headphones. It's kind of semi-finished music, sitting and boring, just want to flash people.

   "Okay! I'll trouble you this time! When I'm done, I invite you to dinner!" Xiao Yao smiled and took TJ's key, and handed it to Fang still on the side.

   "They are all brothers, where do I need to say this." TJ punched Xiao Yao in the chest.

  "Rather than eating, I want you to choreograph a dance for us when I want to." Paul said.

   "Look, white people are more cunning than black people!" TJ rolled his eyes and said.

"No, I am smart!" Paul laughed. "But when it comes to being smart, the Chinese are the smartest. Just look at Yang. The most discouraging thing is that he is not that kind of nerd! So he It's cunning!"

   "You two! Get out!" Xiao Yao pointed at the two and cursed with a smile.

After Sun Tingting and the three left, only Xiao Yao and the five from China were left in the recording studio. If the location were not changed to New York, the scene seemed to be the same as when the daily tidbits were recorded in the previous episodes. .

However, what is different from the previous issues is that when Mei Fang and his team followed Xiao Yao to film the daily highlights of the previous issues, they captured Xiao Yao playing the guitar in the recording room every time. This time, Xiao Yaojin Finally, instead of playing the guitar in the recording room, the drums were played. Xiao Yao has never performed something like a drum set before, and it is the first time that Mei Fang and Wang Dachuan have seen Xiao Yao playing drums.

  In addition to the drum set and the violin played by Sun Tingting just now, Xiao Yao also ran to the recording room to play and record the electronic piano soundtrack. Then, Mei Fang and the others were surprised to find that Xiao Yao started recording his singing into the microphone again.

What Mei Fang and the others didn’t know was that at the end of the previous competitions, the first thing Xiao Yao did when he returned to Shanghai was to record the official version of the song to be performed on the stage in the next stage. , It just kept holding it and didn't release it. This time, Xiao Yao came directly to the United States without returning to Shencheng after the competition. They also followed Xiao Yao all the way on the second day after the show was recorded, so they were also fortunate to see Xiao Yao singing in the recording room.

  But it’s obviously not enough to look at it. In the previous few daily tidbits filming, Xiao Yao recorded guitar songs that were not related to the competition repertoire, and his competition repertoires were all unreleased original creative songs. They and the members of the filming team have been until the competition. Only at the rehearsal that day did I know what Xiao Yao’s competition song looked like. This time I saw Xiao Yao singing in the recording room. It was obviously related to the competition song, so Mei Fang couldn’t help but walk to the console and pick it up. The listening headphones heard the content of the song sung by Xiao Yao. She knew Xiao Yao's rules, as long as she didn't touch those buttons on the console, there was no problem listening with the monitor headphones.

   "What's this?!" Mei Fang was dumbfounded when she heard Xiao Yao's singing in the monitor headphones.

   Although I didn’t understand what Xiao Yao meant, but Mei Fang heard that Xiao Yao was singing in Cantonese! Moreover, Mei Fang also heard that this Cantonese song has not been heard before, and Xiao Yao once said that all the competition songs will be his own new song, so this song must be a new song written by him. Just because of the language of the new song, he won the seventh place in the last show. Isn't Xiao Yao going to sing an original Cantonese new song in the next show? The five hundred audience at the scene did not have a high level of Chinese and English, but I am afraid there are even fewer who can understand his new Cantonese songs!

  To say that Chinese people can write English songs, there are actually a lot of them in the music world, but a person who has never lived in the Cantonese area for a long time wrote a Cantonese song. This incident itself is shocking enough. But now Mei Fang didn't realize this at all, just wondering in his heart whether Xiao Yao was going to die by tricks. You have to know that there will be a place for elimination in the next game. If the kicking singer enters the top four, the seventh place will be eliminated. He seems to take it so seriously these days, and he hurried to the United States, ready to use a new Cantonese song that not many people can understand at the scene to deal with it?

Therefore, when Xiao Yao came out of the recording room again and came to the console to manipulate the audio track he recorded, Mei Fang, with a worried face, finally couldn't help but pull Xiao Yao and ask: "Xiao Yao, you are next. Planning to sing Cantonese songs?"

   "No!" Xiao Yao looked at Mei Fang and shook his head.

"Then how did you sing in Cantonese just now?" Mei Fang said, "I listen to the soundtrack of the song, which is the drum and piano you just recorded, and the violin sound that Sun Tingting just recorded. Don't tell me you are not recording now. The next competition song?"

"Oh, the soundtrack is, but what I just sang was not!" Xiao Yao said, "This song has two versions in Mandarin and Cantonese. The soundtrack is exactly the same, but the lyrics are different. I will sing the Mandarin version and the Cantonese version in the next competition. It’s reserved for future releases. Because the Cantonese version is more difficult, I recorded the Cantonese version first."

"One song goes abroad in both Cantonese and bilingual versions. This is usually something that only singers from Hong Kong Island or Guangdong Province can do," Mei Fang said incredulously. "You are a Yanjing student who is studying in Shanghai. Play this?"

  "Why can't I play?" Xiao Yao smiled, "I just want to do it only if singers from Hong Kong Island and Guangdong Province have done this kind of thing."

   "My God! You are really a monster!" Mei Fang was speechless.

"Okay, Director Mei, after the interview is over, I have to continue working." Xiao Yao sat back in front of the console and turned to Pei Minyi again, "It seems that the time is late, I'm hungry too! Minyi go buy some Come back with food. The car key is still there. Forget it. You can go with Minyi. If you are away, you will have a caregiver. This is no better than Huaxia. You two should pay attention to safety. Remember if you have anything to do. Call me."

   "Okay!" Fang still nodded with Pei Minyi, and Fang still looked at Mei Fang and said, "Sister Mei, what do you want to eat?"

  "Takeaway!"

  Before Mei Fang could answer, the door of the control room was pushed open, and a man walked in with a few paper bags smiling.

   "Why are you here?" Xiao Yao raised his head to look at the people, and stood up from his chair in surprise.
