Entertaining Children

  Chapter 557 Red Rose

"Thank you Brother Xiaodong for your performance!" After the third Qin Xiaodong walked off the stage, Xiao Yao returned to the stage again, leading the audience to applaud Qin Xiaodong who was leaving, and then began the next one. Introduction.

  "The singer who will be playing next will bring you an original song..." Xiao Yao lowered his head slightly.

  "Oh~" When the audience heard the word "original", they immediately burst into cheers! Because the volume of cheers was too loud, Xiao Yao on the stage also had to stop.

   "You all know who it is, don't you?" When the cheers became quieter, Xiao Yao looked at the audience below.

   "Yes!" the audience shouted with their hands together.

   "Even if you know who the singer is about to appear, you can't interrupt my introduction," Xiao Yao said bitterly, "I haven't even had time to say the title of the song!"

  "Haha~" Seeing Xiao Yao's aggrieved face, many viewers laughed happily.

   "Okay, close!" Xiao Yao waved his right hand, then clenched a fist firmly. The applause and laughter of the audience stopped obediently.

  "The name of the song that the singer will bring to you next is..." Xiao Yao stretched out his right hand, took out the red rose in his left breast pocket, and whispered, "Red rose!"

   Amidst the applause of the audience, Xiao Yao did not go back to the stage that was connected to the backstage to change clothes and make a new appearance this time, but went directly to the piano on the side of the stage and sat down.

   "Oh, Xiao Yao didn't go back to change his clothes this time!" Many people said in their hearts watching Xiao Yao sitting directly in front of the piano.

  When Xiao Yao introduced and interacted with the audience, preparations had already been made on the stage. A black grand piano was placed on one side of the stage, and in the center of the stage, a borderless transparent curtain of about 1.5 meters by two meters was erected. Everyone’s eyes were attracted by Xiao Yao in front of the stage. The preparation work in the back was not very noticeable, and the light was relatively dim. Even if you noticed the preparation work in the back, most of them were focused on the piano. Not many people noticed the transparent curtain in the middle of the stage.

"It's a big guy like the piano again. No wonder Xiao Yao was holding a piano recital just now." The singers in the lounge and room looked at Xiao Yao sitting in front of the piano and said, "Four games, two pianos. In the two guitar sessions, Xiao Yao has never sang without playing an instrument."

Xiao Yao placed the red rose in his hand on the piano, then installed the microphone on the microphone stand, freed his hands to gently put his hands on the piano keys, and signaled to the band conductor Liu Tong that he was about to start. .

  The slow and melodious piano sound rang, but the members of the band did not move. The prelude of this song is the whole piano solo of Xiao Yao.

   "Dreams in the dream that you can't wake up, the red that you are under house arrest appears ~ all the irritations and the tired pain, no more indifferent~"

  The prelude ended, Xiao Yao began to sing the main song. Starting from the first sentence, Xiao Yao’s song feels very different from his previous works. It sounds like a particularly sad and bitter love song.

  It’s just that before everyone had time to express their surprise, the scene on the stage made everyone’s eyes widened again!

   "When I hug you from behind, what I look forward to is her face~ It's really mocking, I don't quite understand, I want you to understand~"

  From the third sentence, the sound of the violin is added to the music accompaniment of the song. And when Xiao Yao sang the third sentence, when the sound of the violin appeared in the soundtrack, several projectors at the back and above the stage were lit up, projecting light onto the transparent curtain in the middle of the stage, one in a red skirt, An image of a female violinist playing a violin appeared in front of the audience. This is not a video recorded on an electronic background wall, but is projected by a projector onto a screen made of a transparent holographic projection film, so in the eyes of the audience, it is as if a real person has appeared out of thin air on the stage.

   "Wow~ 3D projection is used, it looks like a real person!" Many audience members were surprised.

Since the audience in the studio is relatively close to the stage, and seeing the previous performance preparations, even if the light is poor, everyone will not be unable to find someone on the stage, so everyone will not really think that someone has appeared out of thin air. , But the first time I thought of 3D projection.

The technology of 3D projection is not a new thing in this world. Except for sci-fi movies and television works, some singers have already applied this technology to their concerts last year. At the New Year's Eve party last year. , Shonan Satellite TV has also used this technology to cooperate with singers in performances, so everyone is not too unfamiliar with this kind of thing. It's just the first time that this technology has been used to match live performances in a music competition program in this small and medium-sized studio with an audience of less than 600 people.

  "Whether happiness is light, you are too heavy, overuse is not itchy or painful..."

  From this section, the sound of drums was added to the soundtrack, and the main melody gradually changed from the sound of piano and violin to the sound of violin with drums and drums as the background. At this time, Xiao Yao on the stage stopped playing the piano and gave the piano sound that was no longer the only main instrument in the soundtrack to the keyboardist of the live band. He reached out and took off the microphone on the microphone stand and stood up, singing while walking. I arrived next to the violinist projected in 3D in the middle of the stage.

  The projected violinist was originally playing the violin with her head down. When Xiao Yao stood beside her to sing, she seemed to really feel that there was someone around her. She raised her head slightly and looked towards Xiao Yao. At this time, Xiao Yao did not face the audience in front of the stage, but faced the projection beside him sideways, looking at the virtual projection affectionately.

   "Wow, there is also eye contact!" Applause broke out from the audience.

  Looking at Xiao Yao’s affectionate look at the projection, the audience followed Xiao Yao’s gaze and looked at the projected violinist. As the projected portrait showed a face when he was playing the violin slightly, many viewers who were familiar with Xiao Yao recognized the violinist.

   "This 3D projected violinist is Sun Tingting!"

  "Does this have to be like singing "Courage" on "Good Voice", and then sprinkle a wave of dog food for us?"

  "Didn’t the media report that Sun Tingting went to the United States last year?"

   "It should be because Sun Tingting is in the United States that I used this 3D projection method. Xiao Yao is working with his girlfriend in the air, so I'm sprinkling dog food in the air!"

   "But using this kind of song to show affection, doesn't it feel right?"

  In the audience, some audience members could not help but listen and discuss in a low voice.

"This is Bayi's girlfriend. I didn't expect him to move Doer's avatar to the stage to help him out." Xiao Siqi, who had not yet had his turn to sing, pointed to the projection on the TV in the room and smiled at the show next to him. Agent Ye Huan introduced. But in the next second, Xiao Siqi's expression changed.

   "The unavailable will always be in a commotion, and the favored will have no fear~"

  When Xiao Yao sang the lyrics, the expressions of the audience changed, and the small voices of the discussion also disappeared.

"Oh, this lyrics is too heartbreaking!" Even Hong Wei, who was sitting in the lounge watching the live broadcast, pointed to Xiao Yao on TV, shaking his head and sighing, "Such lyrics, he is a guy under twenty years old. How did you write it? With just this sentence, the audience will be sung and cry by him!"

"Yes." Liu Youyuan, who is not very proficient in Chinese, didn't respond much, but after the singing, Qin Xiaodong, who was sitting next to Hong Wei, nodded with the same feeling, "The lyrics in front of his song It’s a little bit obscure, and it’s a new song. It’s hard for the audience to empathize. It may not be a good idea to use the 3D projection gimmick, but as soon as the lyrics come out, it can immediately hit the audience’s heart and bring the audience’s thoughts. Pull back to this song."

As Qin Xiaodong said, after this song, although Xiao Yao still maintained the azimuth and eye contact with the virtual projected portrait, the audience on the scene no longer heard any more, and even the applause rarely sounded. His face listened carefully to Xiao Yao's singing, and his expression became more and more focused.

   "Time beautifies the only throbbing, but also smooths the excitement~"

  "Whether happiness is too light, overused, not itchy or painful~"

   "It's so ripe and red, it's hollowed out~"

Starting from the second part of the song, the audience who were more focused on Xiao Yao’s singing were also struck by this line of lyrics, especially when Xiao Yao once again sang "The unattainable is always in commotion, the favored When there is no fear, many viewers have already started to wipe the corners of their eyes with their hands.

   "The red of the rose, the dream of the wound blooming, but it is lost between the fingers in the hand, and then lost~"

  When Xiao Yao sang the last sentence of the complete song, some audience members had already put their tears on their faces.

  "Thank you!" After the song ended, Xiao Yao also slowed down a bit, calming down the emotions of the audience in the audience before bowing to the audience. The projected image of Sun Tingting beside him also put down the violin resting on his shoulders, carrying the violin and the bow, and bowing to the audience in the audience like Xiao Yao.

   Those crying audiences also pulled away from the emotion of the song, wiped away the tears on their faces, smiled and cheered to Xiao Yao on the stage with the other audience.

   "Wow~ God is in sync!" After bowing, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting straightened up while the projection images of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting acted in the same way, which immediately caused the audience to exclaim again.

"Thank you orchestra teacher!" Xiao Yao first bowed slightly to thank Liu Tong and other live band members on the side of the stage, and then pointed at the virtual projection beside him, "I want to thank the future violinist, Miss Sun Tingting. Give me a lot of help!" As he said, he deliberately bowed deeply at the projected image of Sun Tingting.

   "Haha~" Seeing Xiao Yao thanking his girlfriend so seriously, and it was still a projected virtual image, many viewers couldn't help but laugh. However, most of the audience was very cooperative and gave Sun Tingting a round of applause.

  "Thank you everyone!" Sun Tingting's voice suddenly sounded at the scene, and the projected image of Sun Tingting bowed slightly to the audience again.

   "Wow~" The audience shouted in surprise, and then there was another cheer. Although I know that the stage is just a virtual projection, the interaction is too real.

But it was not over yet. Xiao Yao smiled and walked to the piano on the side of the stage, picked up the red rose he had placed on the piano before the performance, walked back to Sun Tingting’s projection side, and pinched the microphone in his right hand. He casually inserted it into his pocket, and handed the red rose in his hand to Sun Tingting.

  And when Xiao Yao walked towards the piano, Sun Tingting projected to have turned sideways to face Xiao Yao. When Xiao Yao came back and handed the red rose in her hand, Sun Tingting also handed the piano bow of her right hand to her left hand, and stretched out her right hand to receive Xiao Yao's rose.

  Seeing this scene, the audience unconsciously opened their eyes. When Xiao Yao handed out the rose, he used both hands. His left hand inevitably blocked most of the rose. In addition, the light on the stage was not particularly bright, and the audience did not clearly see the transfer of the rose. process. But they found that Xiao Yao's retracted hands were empty, and Sun Tingting's retracted right hand did indeed hold a red rose that was exactly the same.

   "Is this magic?" The audience and the singers watching the live broadcast were surprised.

  Sun Tingting’s projection on the stage took the rose in her hand under the tip of her nose and sniffed it, and then a very happy smile appeared on her face.

   "Sure enough, you are not afraid to be favored!" Looking at Sun Tingting on the stage, many audiences inexplicably thought of the second half of the lyrics in the song that Xiao Yao sang just now that impressed them the most.

   "Thank you, goodbye!" Sun Tingting on the stage turned sideways to face the audience in applause, waved to the audience with her right hand holding the rose, and Sun Tingting's voice was heard again at the scene.

  In the applause of the audience, several beams of projection light disappeared, and the image of Sun Tingting disappeared from the stage.
