Entertaining Children

  Chapter 565 Take the first place again

In the recording studio, after the singers and agents were seated, Tao Ran did not welcome the replacement singer as last time. Instead, he smiled and laughed at Xiao Yao and said, "It’s very fast to remove makeup. I thought I could be here. I saw a Hua Dan in ancient costume!"

   "Come on, Director Tao, Sister Hong and the others have already added a lot of scenes of me dressed up for your show." Xiao Yao said helplessly.

   "Well, I heard it!" Tao Ran nodded, apparently knowing what happened in the lounge, "Thank you, Teacher Hong Wei."

   "Well, let's first welcome our new friend, the new supplementary singer Wei Shile who joined this show!" Tao Ran took the lead in applauding and returned to the original program flow.

   "Thank you!" Wei Shile stood up politely and bowed to Tao Ran and the other singers.

  "How do you feel about participating in our program today?" Tao Ran asked Wei Shile with a smile.

"It's a great honor to participate in this show. The stage is great. The equipment, including the sound and lighting, is top-notch. I enjoy it when I sing on it." Wei Shile said with a smile, "There is also I saw a performance that I couldn’t even imagine.” After speaking, Wei Shile turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yao, “It was really beyond my expectation. This time, the overall feeling was a special surprise. I agreed to come to this show. I made a very correct decision. I believe this is a very rare experience in my life."

   "Thank you for your evaluation, and we are also very grateful for your wonderful performance on stage," Tao Ran smiled and said, "Your performance today is also a surprise to us."

   "Thank you!" Wei Shile, who returned to her seat, folded her hands again, bowed her head and leaned forward.

"Today is the third round of qualifying, so no one will be eliminated. After the next elimination round, we will combine the results of today and the next to arrive at an elimination candidate." Tao Ran briefly introduced. After a while, then he continued, "Now is the time to announce the results of the singers' votes. Whom do you want to hear first?"

   "Xiao Yao's!" Liang Xueying said, "He is dressed as a Chinese dancer and is singing Peking Opera today. It is really amazing. I want to know his performance most."

"Sister Xueying, I'm sorry, you can say that the huadan dress, but the one I sang can only be called Jing Yun, which is different from the real Peking Opera." Xiao Yao smiled and pointed to the camera in the shed. "This me It must be pointed out, otherwise I will be scolded by Mr. May when it is broadcasted."

   "Does anyone dare to scold you?" Hong Wei curiously asked, "Mr. Mei? Which Mr. Mei is so good?"

  "Mr. Mei Qingchang of Yanjing," Xiao Yao said, "I learned the Beijing opera-like Jingyun singing and some of the movements and footwork I just performed on the stage."

  "Are you Mr. Mei Qingchang's apprentice?" Hong Wei was even more surprised. She knew who Mei Qingchang was, and that was a real master of Peking opera!

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, "I was just fortunate to accept Mr. Mei’s instructions and learned something from him, but he didn’t accept me as an apprentice. The formal study of opera was learned from the basic skills since I was young. At this age, he has long passed the age suitable for learning opera. Mr. Mei would not accept a fancier like me as an apprentice. Of course, my attitude towards Peking opera is not pious enough, just combining Jingyun singing with pop music. It’s just for fun, and I don’t expect to be worshipped by a Peking opera master like Mr. Mei."

  "You are quite self-aware." Hong Wei smiled.

   "Then we will announce Xiao Yao's results next?" Tao Ran asked with a smile.

"It's better to listen to Sami first." When Xiao Yao mentioned Wei Shile's English name, he inexplicably remembered another person, and after a little awkward pause, he continued, "She is the number one. This time, you can count as a guest, listen to her performance first, and don't let her keep your heart hanging."

   "Okay~" Tao Ran nodded, but then said, "Then we will announce Xiao Yao first."

   "What?" Xiao Yao glared, and said in his heart, "If you don't listen to me, no matter what kind of head is it? Now Tao Ran is also starting to take pleasure in playing himself?"

  "Guide Tao, you broke down!" Everyone smiled at Tao Ran when they saw Xiao Yao's expression.

   But what Tao Ran said next, immediately let Xiao Yao throw that little dissatisfaction out of the clouds.

   "Xiao Yao, this audience voted first!" Tao Ran announced while looking at the mobile phone in his hand.

   "Yeah~" Three cheers rang out at the scene, but there was no such thing as Xiao Yao, who was a little stupefied. One is Shen Man, the other is Xiao Siqi, and the last is Liang Xueying!

  The singers and agents on the scene also gave Xiao Yao a round of applause. Qin Xiaodong nodded with a smile on his face and commented: "In terms of Xiao Yao's performance today, this number one should be well deserved."

   "Thank you everyone!" Xiao Yao stood up and bowed to everyone, "Thank you Xiaodong for your compliment."

"Xiao Yao takes first place. It is normal that Shen Man and Lao Xiao are happy. One of them is Xiao Yao's agent and the other is Xiao Yao's father. What are you so excited about Xueying?" Hong Wei smiled and looked at him. Excited Liang Xueying said, "Did Xiao Yao take the first place, and the next show will be safe, and you can ask him to arrange and design the costume? Today you will host for him, this time it will be even more important to look for him again. Right?"

"No, I'm just happy for him." Liang Xueying said with a slight embarrassment, "He has helped me once. This time, my substitute host is not only my own interest, but also the favor he helped me last time. I am. Last time I was so anxious that I couldn't find him. Even if I take seventh place this time, I won't look for him again."

   "How do you say it seems like you want to draw a line?" Hong Wei deliberately expressed surprise.

"Where is it?" Liang Xueying groaned, "I just think that everyone is a singer competing on the same stage, and he is always embarrassed to trouble him. And he hasn't gone to school for two weeks, so he has to go back to school this week. I have to make up for the lessons I missed before, and the time must be very tight."

   "Okay, congratulations to Xiao Yao, next, we announce the second place in the vote..." Tao Ran then announced.

   "Hong Wei," Xiao Yao said quickly, "Sister Jing!"

   "Xiao Yao, you!" Hong Wei stared at Xiao Yao and said.

"Why, you don't want to take second place?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Now that the first place has been announced, the best result is the second. I hope you get good results, the better the results in this field. , The safer the next game."

   "Bah, I don't want to!" Hong Wei said without buying it, "I would rather take the third and the fourth?"

   "I'm sorry, let Hong Wei disappointed. Second place, Hong Wei!" Tao Ran announced, smiling at Hong Wei and said, "Should I say congratulations?"

   "This is a good result, of course, congratulations, it is well deserved!" Xiao Yao smiled and took the lead in applauding.

  "You...I..." Hong Wei pointed to Xiao Yao, not knowing what to say. This guy is Hong Guoguo's revenge, but amidst everyone's congratulations and applause, Hong Wei still couldn't get rid of it!

   "Today we will announce the results for everyone in the order from top to bottom." Tao Ran continued to announce, "Next is to announce the third place for everyone..."

  Finally, Xiao Siqi was third, Liang Xueying was fourth, and the debut singer Wei Shile was fifth, Liu Youyuan was sixth, and Qin Xiaodong was seventh.

  The last two Qin Xiaodong and Liu Youyuan are not pure singers like Liang Xueying. They are both creators and producers, and they can arrange music. The songs in the competition are also arranged by themselves. With their character and arrogance as a creator, even in a more dangerous ranking, they would not go to others to help him arrange the music.

  After the program was recorded and returned to Shencheng, Xiao Yao still quickly sent the scores of the next competition song to the program team.

Xiao Yao still has a bit of resentment for the seventh place in the second round of the knockout. After taking the first place this time, he is relatively safe to prepare another folk song for the next one, and the stage design during the performance is also the same. easier. There were no guests to help out, no specially designed costumes, and even the gimmick of shovel guitar was gone. The only thing that was better than the second round of the knockout round was probably that Xiao Yao prepared a Chinese folk song this time.

   After Xiao Yao returned to Shencheng, he did go back to school to attend classes, but he did not make up for the missing classes as Liang Xueying had guessed. Those lessons he missed were all recorded by Qin Hao and Xu Liang in the same dormitory with DV and sent to him by email. With these class videos, with his ability, he can easily keep up with everyone's progress when he returns to class after half a month.

  This idea naturally came up with Xiao Yao. Last semester, Xiao Yao rarely asked for leave. He spent a long time at school and didn't have a celebrity role. He went to class and lived with the buddies in the dormitory. He usually played basketball together when he was fine. The relationship has long been pretty good. At the beginning of the year, I took them to the press conference again. To Xiao Yao's request, Qin Hao and Xu Liang naturally patted their chests and agreed.

  However, this practice violates school regulations. The courses of the Academy of Performing Arts are not open classes, and video recordings are not allowed to be disseminated at will. Fortunately, the prize that Xiao Yao received back from Clermont Ferrand was of great use. Taking into account Xiao Yao’s identity and specific circumstances, the purpose of this move was to keep up with the progress of the study. It is an example for Xiao Yao to ensure that the recorded class video will not be transmitted outside.

  The university courses are not close together. When Xiao Yao only uses normal classes, he still has a lot of spare time. Xiao Yao didn't let himself be idle either, there were still many things he could do during this period.

  First is the pure music album of that piano piece. In the last kick-off match, Xiao Yao came to a piano recital before the competition, and that was to prepare for the rhythm of the piano album. When he was in Yanjing last week, Xiao Yao studied opera with Mr. Mei Qingchang for half a day during the day, rehearsed with the "Women's Band" for half a day, and recorded piano music in the studio of Qi Jia's studio at night. Nearly a week, Xiao Yao has already recorded nine songs. He is planning to release more piano music albums than guitar songs. There are 13 songs in total. There are four songs left to be unrecorded, and it will probably take two days.

  In addition, it was the post-production of the MV for "ThinkingOutLoud" that Xiao Yao filmed with Sun Tingting in the United States.

  The broadcast and recording of the "Singer" show were separated by less than two issues. Before Xiao Yao went to record the third round of qualifying, the second round of knockout had been broadcast on TV. Since Xiao Yao participated in this program, the performance of each issue has been a hot topic of discussion between viewers and netizens, and that episode of the program is no exception.

Xiao Yao’s original English folk songs, that wonderfully brilliant homemade shovel guitar, and a slump from first to seventh, these are topics that netizens talk about, but everyone talks about them the most. Yes, it was the cooperation between Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying.

From the tidbits released before the start of the game and the revelations of Liang Xueying’s pre-match interview, everyone knows that the electronic soundtrack version of Liang Xueying’s song "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" is adapted, the beautiful lighting costumes, and the dreamy starry sky. The stage effects are all Xiao Yao’s handwriting. Xiao Yao also acted as a live DJ for Liang Xueying during the performance. Liang Xueying also counterattacked from the seventh in the previous game and became the champion on the spot. Competing opponents in the same field will inevitably make some netizens think about their relationship.

  In the current entertainment circle, it is not uncommon for sisters and brothers to love each other. This is not like the contract that Xiao Yao helped Yin Xi earn Eva Angel back then. Even if they didn’t say that their reputation at the time was not as good as they are now, no one would associate a ten-year-old boy with a 22-year-old female model. together. But a young 20-year-old and a 32-year-old female singer, both adults, are not so unimaginable. In the entertainment industry, there are many couples and even couples whose age gap is greater than twelve. Not to mention that Xiao Yao has been called an evildoer because he was too precocious since he was a child. If he likes a woman who is a lot older than him , That's too normal.

However, the incident between Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying was not like Gong Chen’s scandal. So this matter was discussed from the comments of ordinary netizens. At the beginning, there was no media involvement. In addition, Xiao Yao did. The story of the girlfriend is well known. Although the two were separated, no news of their breakup came out. Therefore, this argument did not show an explosive spread, but was limited to speculation by some netizens. But it is the nature of some people to hunt for novels and spread rumors. After a period of fermentation, no one knows whether this will become another scandal of Xiao Yao spreading across the Internet.

Faced with this kind of topic that netizens are boring and chatting about, let alone it has not yet formed a trend, it is uploaded all over the Internet, and Xiao Yao is not interested in holding another press conference to explain specifically. The last time Gong Chen also introduced Gong by the way. It only opened after Chen signed a contract with the studio. This time, there is no behind-the-scenes pusher, and Xiao Yao will not be so troublesome.

In fact, Xiao Yao thought that this kind of remarks might appear. The MV for the song "ThinkingOutLoud" is of course the song Xiao Yao is not angry. This song only ranked seventh in the show. If you want to release this song, you can achieve better results, and part of it. The reason is prepared for this situation. Relying on the intimate movements and eye contact of the two people in the sweet pas de deux in the MV, as long as the MV is released, it is estimated that all rumors on the Internet will disappear.

According to the original plan, Xiao Yao will release the single and the MV of this song globally next week, which is after the second round of the show’s kick-off match, because the show’s tidbits included Xiao Yao’s intention. I went to the United States to find Sun Tingting. There were also two people shooting some behind-the-scenes shots of this MV in the United States. After the show was broadcast, it would have an echoing effect. The stage performance in that period was the interaction of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting's 3D projection. After that, the MV of the song was also more effective in clarifying and countering rumors.

But Xiao Yao doesn’t know how fast this kind of rumors will spread, and when the gossip media tabloids will get involved, so Xiao Yao is ready to prepare the MV first. If this kind of remarks has a tendency to explode this week, then Xiao Yao Haruka didn't mind releasing the MV of this song in advance, and released the official version of this song in advance in China.
