Entertaining Children

  Chapter 568 Covering Right for One Dollar

In the applause of the audience, Xiao Yao took off the harmonica stand on his neck and handed it to the staff who came to the stage together with the guitar. Then he took off the microphone on the microphone stand and walked to the front of the stage to face the audience. We bowed to salute: "Thank you everyone!"

  Until this moment, the cheers and screams of the audience could not help but rang.

  "Next, I will introduce the next competition song to everyone..." Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand, and continued to introduce the next singer's competition song.

  "I'm back!" After all the performances were over, Xiao Yao, who returned to the lounge, opened the door and shouted again.

   "Thanks!" Everyone still stood up from the sofa and applauded to welcome Xiao Yao's return.

   "Xiao Yao, your performance just now was great. Playing two instruments at the same time, it's the first time I've seen it with my own eyes." As soon as Xiao Yao sat down on the sofa, Wei Shile praised with two thumbs up.

"It's just a trick of carving insects," Xiao Yao humbly waved his hand, "I am not alone." In this world, Xiao Yao has never seen a person who plays three instruments at the same time, but he plays two instruments at the same time. Xiao Yao knows that there are still some, so he doesn't think how great it is to play these two instruments at the same time today.

"I know you have played three musical instruments together. It seems that few people in the world can do it," Wei Shile continued, "Unfortunately, I didn't see it live." In the interim, both she and Liu Youyuan have watched the video of Xiao Yao’s simultaneous performance of the three instruments in the blind selection of "Good Voice" on their mobile phones the year before.

"That's right," Liu Youyuan's agent Zhang Qiao asked, "Xiao Yao, why don't you play three musical instruments at the same time as you did in the chair-turning show? Wouldn't that be more shocking?" Liu Youyuan asked Xiao Yao The skill of playing the three instruments at the same time also felt very shocking, but I also regret that I didn't see it live.

As Liu Youyuan’s agent, on the one hand, Zhang Qiao spared no effort to help Liu Youyuan fight for benefits, hoping that he can achieve good results in the show and go further. On the other hand, as a Chinese, she also hopes to let Liu Youyuan do this. Korean singers can see the excellence of Huaxia's singers, and there are also places that the Korean musician can't match.

"The main reason is that this song is different from the song "Those Flowers". The soundtrack is not suitable for tambourines. I can only beat one drum with my feet, but I can't operate a whole set of drums with my feet." Xiao Yao laughed Said, "The soundtrack is always for the song. I don't want to change the drum set to an inappropriate tambourine just to show off my skills. After all, I am a singer, not a musician."

   "Well said!" Hong Wei applauded first.

  Other singers also nodded, and gave Xiao Yao a round of applause to show their approval.

   "Don't you want the sauce, people will be embarrassed." Xiao Yao pretended to be shy.

   "Oh, I'm going, it's disgusting!" Hong Wei shook the goose bumps on her body, "This means that Cai Ruoqi is not here, otherwise you have to say that you are following her."

   "Speaking of your song today," Qin Xiaodong said, "Xiao Yao, are you dissatisfied with the results of the last round of knockouts, so you wrote this song on purpose?"

   "How do you say?" The other singers looked at Qin Xiaodong one after another.

"The last time Xiao Yao sang an English folk song, and this time it's a Chinese folk song. The soundtrack is relatively simple, as if to justify his name." Qin Xiaodong said, "and both songs are both. It was sung for lovers. The first sentence of that song last time was "WhenYourLegsDon\'tWorkLikeTheyUsedToBefore, AndICan\'tSweepYouOffofYourFeet." "It means that when your legs and feet are not as flexible as before, I can't hold you in a circle. This means that when the person is old, isn't it the same as the meaning of "when you are old" today?"

   "Really!" The others nodded after hearing Qin Xiaodong's explanation.

   "Xiao Yao, did you publicly express your dissatisfaction with the live voting audience in this way?" Hong Wei's agent Wu You smiled and said to Xiao Yao, "Even the audience who voted, you are really amazing!"

   "You don't want to read it like this, okay?" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "You don't want me to offend the audience who voted at the scene and be eliminated by them?"

"It's okay," Shen Man comforted Xiao Yao, "This episode will not be broadcast until the next fourth round of qualifying begins. The fourth round will only have two qualifying and knockout matches, followed by a breakout match. Anyway, you came in as a kick hall singer and you always have to take part in the breakout match. As long as you are not eliminated in the next kick hall match, you will be able to participate in the next few games."

   "What's okay?" Xiao Yao looked back at Shen Man in surprise, "I don't want results in the breakout match? I don't want to participate in the finals? Where are you from?"

   "Director, I ask to change the host again!" Xiao Yao raised his hand to look at the director on the scene.

"I'm sorry I was wrong!" Shen Man hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake, and then looked at the director on the scene, "Director, cut the paragraph just now, don't broadcast it. They are black singers from our house, and it's unfair to broadcast it! "

   Xiao Yao and Shen Man's performance in this pair of live treasures naturally caused a burst of laughter in the hall.

  "Okay, no kidding." Qin Xiaodong said with a straight face, "Not to mention the technique of playing the two instruments at the same time, just to say that this song changed from Yeats's poem is also very good."

  Qin Xiaodong looked at Xiao Yao and said: "I like this song very much, and this song fits my style very well. Xiao Yao, I formally ask you to purchase the copyright of this song. I want to sing this song!"

   After the last round of the elimination round, Hong Wei, Liang Xueying and Cai Ruoqi all expressed their intention of inviting songs to Xiao Yao. At that time, Xiao Yao was currently writing competition songs every week and did not have time to decline. Qin Xiaodong was also there at the time, and he didn't say that he was looking for Xiao Yao to invite songs. He didn't expect that Qin Xiaodong would directly play the cover right this time.

  Faced with Qin Xiaodong’s request, Xiao Yao’s response was of course... promised him!

"No problem!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "I'll let my agent be my agent in a moment, oh, I'm not talking about Shen Man, it's my real agent Fangzheng, I asked her to leave the contact information to your team , The specific contract operation is up to her, and there is no need to talk about the cost. The copyright fee for the cover is one yuan." As he said, Xiao Yao raised a finger.

  "A dollar? What's the difference between that and free delivery?" Qin Xiaodong immediately shook his head, "How can it work?"

"A dollar is also money. Collecting money is not a free gift." Xiao Yao said, "It's okay! I really like listening to your song, and this song is really suitable for you to sing. Let me express my idols With a little heart, I’ll charge you a dollar symbolically.” For Qin Xiaodong, a singer who made Xiao Yao feel very similar to the long-pants male **** in his previous life, Xiao Yao really liked it from the bottom of his heart.

   "Old Xiao, follow your son's style. In the future, your studio will not be bankrupted by him?" Hong Wei smiled and looked at Xiao Siqi and said, "But I really like his character."

"In the future, he won't be able to see the studio of Jiaying and I." Xiao Siqi smiled indifferently. "Did you still say that he is a profiteer before? He is not like that to everyone. Yes, anyway, I will not worry about his future money."

   "Director, cut out this paragraph!" Xiao Yao pointed to the cameras on the scene, "If this is released on TV, the songs I write in the future will not sell for a price!"

   "Look, what am I talking about?" Xiao Siqi spread his hands.

   "The TV audience can't see it, but we can see it." Hong Wei said immediately, "Xiao Yao, I want to buy the right to sing your song "The Descendants of the Dragon"."

  "I want to buy the cover of "Red Rose"!" Liang Xueying continued.

  Liu Youyuan also raised his hand: "@#%..."

  Zhang Qiao helped the translator and said: "My brother Youyuan said that he has no problem with English and wants the right to sing the English song "ThinkingOutLoud"!"

  "Should I join in the fun too?" Wei Shile looked at the manager beside him.

"Yeah~" The agent nodded repeatedly, and then frowned, "However, the two remaining songs of Xiao Yao, "It's Now" are not suitable for your style. The previous song "Chasing Dreams" has It is estimated that few people can sing Jing Yun's singing except for himself."

  "Then I will also have the right to sing the song "Red Rose"." Wei Shile said, "My favorite is that song."

   "Sami, I want the cover of "Red Rose"." Liang Xueying called to Wei Shile.

   "I didn't say no," Wei Shile laughed, "but no one stipulates that a song can be covered by only one singer besides the original one."

   "But there is not much difference between our two styles, and we have a cover version at the same time, it's not very good." Liang Xueying said.

  "Why do I translate the lyrics into English and produce an English version, okay?" Wei Shile suggested.

   "Well, this proposal is good, I agree." Liang Xueying nodded.

   "Hey, are you really playing?" Xiao Yao said dissatisfied, "I'm still standing here! Do I agree? You guys are so serious about discussing it."

   "Of course it is true!" Hong Wei stared at Xiao Yao viciously, "Why, don't you agree?"

   "Can't I say that I disagree?" Xiao Yao smiled unmovedly.

"The unavailable will always be in a commotion, and the favored will have no fear." Xiao Siqi read two lyrics from "Red Rose", shook his head and smiled and patted Qin Xiaodong on the shoulder. "Xiaodong, this time the favorite is You. Xueying shouldn't be the only object of everyone's jealousy anymore."

"I know that Xiaodong is your idol, as long as a dollar is your heart." Hong Wei approached Xiao Yao, but suddenly put on a smiling face, stretched out his hand to shake one of Xiao Yao's arm, and used one. In a coquettish tone, "I don't just pay a dollar to buy your cover rights, can't I buy it at the market price? You can't be too biased!"

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you!" Xiao Yao shook off his goose bumps, and took his arm out of Hong Wei's hand. "Sell! Can't I sell it? It's all for a dollar, you guys. If you want to cover it, just sing it casually."

   "Xiao Yao, then you can help translate the lyrics of "Red Rose" into English. Xueying and I will sing the Chinese version and the English version." Wei Shile took the opportunity to say. She knew that Xiao Yao had written English songs. To speak English, whether it is listening, speaking, reading, or writing, she thinks she should not lose to Xiao Yao, but when it comes to writing songs, she feels ashamed.

"Don't be so troublesome." Xiao Yao smiled, "In fact, this "Red Rose" has a sister chapter called "White Rose". The tunes of these two songs are exactly the same, the lyrics are different, but there are similarities. So it’s a sister article. The point is, "White Rose" is a Cantonese song! You were born on Hong Kong Island, and you sing a Cantonese song today, so your Cantonese should be no problem. If you are interested, just I'm ready to sing the Cantonese song "White Rose"."

  "Have you ever written Cantonese songs?" Wei Shile was surprised, "Have you lived on Hong Kong Island or Cantonese for a long time? No wonder you speak Cantonese."

   "No," Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head.

   "Then how can you write Cantonese songs?" Wei Shile said strangely.

   "I can chant." Xiao Yao spread his hands, "I haven't lived in Korea for a long time, and I also wrote Korean songs."

   "Oh!" Wei Shile nodded, "Well, my fault!"

"However, I have not sung the song "White Rose" in any public venues, and it is not well-known yet." Xiao Yao frowned and turned to his father Xiao Siqi, "Or else! Dad, I want to The Cantonese song "White Rose" was released first as a single. Anyway, the second round of the kick-off match where I sang "Red Rose" has now been broadcast on TV. At this time, the timing of the release of "White Rose" is pretty rough. Not bad. It happens to be able to stimulate the sales of "White Rose" with the heat of "Red Rose"."

  "Aren’t you going to release that "ThinkingOutLoud" next week?" Xiao Siqi asked, "Do you want to put two songs together to make a single?"

"No, separate the two songs." Xiao Yao shook his head. "The two songs are different in style and language, so they are not suitable for being put together. Moreover, the song "ThinkingOutLoud" has been linked to the overseas simultaneous release, "White There is no market for "Rose" in Europe and the United States, so we have to make two singles and develop them separately."

   "Okay." Xiao Siqi nodded, and then laughed to himself again, "Two singles and one album at once, now the publicity department of the studio is very busy."

   "What? Xiao Yao, you want to release an album again?" Hong Wei said, "You only sang six songs in this show, right? Six songs can be released for the album?"

   "It's not six," Qin Xiaodong reminded, "There are two episodes that have not been broadcast yet. If they are released next week, the audience will have heard only four, up to five!"

"Since he released the album last year to participate in this festival, he has already had seven or eight songs. If you count the four or five songs in this show, that adds up to one album." Xiao Siqi said, "but He didn't plan to release the show before the end. Next week, he will release a pure music album with a total of 13 piano songs."

   "Thirteen piano songs?" Hong Wei asked Xiao Yao, "Are all of your original songs?"

   "Yes." Xiao Yao nodded.

"Oh, I'll go," Hong Wei shouted, "How long has it been since you released an original guitar album? Is it half a month? This is another original piano album? How do you feel that you are going to Are you on the road of pure music composers?"

"No wonder you gave us a piano recital during the last session of the stadium competition. It turned out to be a pure music album of piano music." Zhang Qiao also said to Xiao Yao, "You are using the piano we gave you from our program. The song album is released as a publicity preheat!"

"Yes! Donghai TV’s New Year’s Eve party and your station’s Kuaiben have actually used his advertising platform. His advertisements are very clever and are integrated with the content of the program. It seems inadvertent, but in fact it is unknowingly. He achieved the desired effect immediately. And even if you know that he is advertising, you still can’t refuse.” Xiao Siqi smiled and nodded, then turned to look at Hong Wei, “Sister Hong, you still think Will my studio go bankrupt in the future?"

  "This is a monster!" Hong Wei cried and pointed at Xiao Yao's feet and said, "I won't play with this monster anymore, I want to go home!"
