Entertaining Children

  Chapter 571 SEVE

   "Will you listen to me, can't you?" Zhao Rui roared, "Who told you to shoot commercials?"

Xiao Yao immediately frowned and held the phone away from his ears. Hearing the sound in the receiver, there was no sound. Then he put the phone to his ear again and said, "Yes! Say it, I'll listen to you. "

"Zi Tong is the endorsement of a short video sharing software," Zhao Rui said. "This software does not need Zitong to help them shoot advertisements, but as a spokesperson, Zitong wants to upload some interesting and attractive things to this software. Use short videos as their signature to help them attract users. You know, Zitong is not the kind of person who likes to act like a coquettish and cute, and he can’t do that kind of facial expressions. So we want you to help us out. Idea, look at what kind of interesting video comes out. You, the evildoer, have been the most ghostly minded since childhood. You have been a screenwriter and made short films. This shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

   "What do you mean by ghost ideas?" Xiao Yao exclaimed dissatisfied.

   "Okay, you are more genius and more creative!" Zhao Rui changed her words, then lowered her posture, "Help, chant."

"Isn’t it just shooting an eye-catching video? Simple!" Xiao Yao confidently said, "I have to practice the next dance in the next few days. Since you are asking me for help, you must I, you come to Shencheng tomorrow. Come directly to Sister Xi’s studio to find me, and I will help you with your ideas."

   "No problem!" Zhao Rui naturally agreed to this reasonable request.

"That's right," Xiao Yao asked again, "Does that software require that the video can only be taken by Zi Tong alone. Can other people appear in the video?" When it comes to dancing, Xiao Yao already has an idea in his mind. .

   "It seems that there is no such requirement," Zhao Rui said suspiciously. "Why are you asking? You don't want to shoot commercials and want to make videos with her?"

   "It's not me, it's Nina." Xiao Yao said, "I want Nina to shoot this video with her."

   "Nina? Why?" Zhao Rui asked puzzledly.

"Nina dances well!" Xiao Yao explained, "I want to dance in my next competition. I have been practicing dance recently. All I have in my mind are dance-related things. You said to help Zitong make a video. , I thought about dancing. Zitong feels thin dancing alone, plus Nina feels better. And these two have long legs, dancing together must be very beautiful, it is definitely a good idea to take a video of them dancing . It happens that Cheng Xi is here these few days, so you can let Cheng Xi help teach them."

   "Dancing? Can it be done?" Zhao Rui said uneasy.

"What does it mean?" Xiao Yao said, "Don't underestimate the dance! As long as the choreography is good and the dance is good, the attractiveness is definitely not worse than other artistic expressions! Have you seen me in the "ThinkingOutLoud" MV Did you dance with Doer? What do you think of that dance?"

"I'm going, there must be nothing to say about that dance! The MV came out and it was everywhere." Zhao Rui said, "Do you plan to choreograph the kind of modern dance for the two of them? But that kind of modern dance needs suitable scenes and Only with the lighting can have that kind of effect? ​​Can you find a place like that in Shanghai too?"

"What do you want?" Even though he knew that Zhao Rui couldn't see it, Xiao Yao couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "Boss, MV and video are different. I know that software is to share life short videos for ordinary people. Yes, it’s not a MV release platform. The lighting and props of the venue don’t need to be so professional, or even deliberately prepared. The videos on this software platform need to be lively and grounded, so that they can attract users! Let them be there at that time It’s fine to record in the practice room, or it’s better to go anywhere on the street to shoot."

   "Never mind the rehearsal room, on the street?" Zhao Rui said, "It's rolling on the ground, isn't it dirty?"

"What's rolling on the ground?" Xiao Yao said, "The dance I prepared for them is not modern dance, and does not need to roll on the ground. Forget about Nina, Zi Tong is not a professional dance student. The professional modern dance Zitong can't dance either."

   "Then what dance did you prepare?" Zhao Rui asked curiously.

"I'll know when I come over and watch the scene tomorrow." Xiao Yao deliberately sold it, and then said, "Any other questions? It's getting late, and I'll hang up when there is nothing else to do. I will dance first in the evening. Make a demo of the soundtrack."

   "Wait, the last question." Zhao Rui hurriedly said, "Since it is dancing, why not let Cheng Xi dance with them? Isn't she there? She is a professional dancer."

"Because Cheng Xi is now more famous than Zitong, and everyone knows that she is a professional dancer. If she dances with Zitong, do you think others will look at her or Zitong?" Xiao Yao said, "This is what Zi Tong’s video, Zi Tong is the protagonist! If you are not afraid that Cheng Xi will compare Zi Tong, I can add Cheng Xi!"

  Actually, the reason why Xiao Yao excluded Cheng Xi was not because of his fame and professionalism, but because of external conditions. Zhu Zitong and Nina Ayiguli are both about 1.7 meters tall, with similar body proportions and similar leg lengths. And Cheng Xi is not only 1.65 meters tall, but there is some difference between them and their body proportions. There are also some differences. If you look at it alone, Cheng Xi's figure and body proportions are fine, but if you want to stand with those two long legs, the disadvantage of the length of the legs will be more obvious, which will affect the stunning feeling of the entire video.

  Of course, Xiao Yao would not tell Zhao Rui this true reason. Who knows if that guy accidentally passed this to Cheng Xi's ears. Although Xiao Yao considered the facts, no one would be happy to hear such words. Xiao Yao didn't want Cheng Xi to come to him. trouble. For Zhao Rui, a reason to consider Zhu Zitong's protagonist status is enough.

  Sure enough, Zhao Rui immediately said: "Don't, let's go with Nina." After hearing Xiao Yao's words, Zhao Rui also felt that it was inappropriate for Zhu Zitong and Cheng Xi to make a video together. Although in terms of dancing skills, Nina Aiguli is also a professional background, but the relationship between the two women is different from Cheng Xi, and at this stage Nina Aiguli’s reputation is not as good as Zhu Zitong and Zhao Rui. I'm not worried that Nina will steal Zhu Zitong's limelight.

"You come to Yin Xi's studio tomorrow. I don't have time to pick you up at the airport. If you need to pick up and pick you up, I will find three people. That guy is the landlord!" Xiao Yao said again, "Also, over Nina, you Let Zitong come out and invite him, after all, it's her business."

"Okay, you don't have to worry about it!" Zhao Rui smiled, "We are not kids anymore, do you have to worry about taking care of it everywhere? You just need to concentrate on choreography, see you tomorrow!" Hung up the phone first.

  Looking at the hung-up phone, Xiao Yao, who was lying on the bed, shook his head with a wry smile, then turned over and sat up from the bed, took the computer and headphones, and leaned on the bed to make a dance soundtrack.

After Zhao Rui hung up the phone, he informed Zhu Zitong of Xiao Yao's answer, and then asked Zhu Zitong to call Nina Aiguli and ask her to help take a video dance together.

  Because of the brother relationship between Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan, Zhu Zitong and Nina Aiiguli were not strangers. Last year, the two co-produced the TV series "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky". After a long period of contact in the crew, the two who know each other better have become particularly good girlfriends. Even without Xiao Yao's participation, Nina was obliged to help Zhu Zitong, not to mention that Xiao Yao was asked to help them choreograph. After receiving Zhu Zitong's call, Nina naturally agreed on the spot without hesitation.

  The next afternoon, when Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong came to the rehearsal room in Yin Xi's studio, Lin Qisan and Nina Aiiguli were already waiting in the rehearsal room. Nina came to dance, again in Yin Xi's studio, Xiao Yao was doing choreography, and Lin Qisan naturally followed.

  In addition to the two of them, Cheng Xi was also waiting in the rehearsal room, but the six dancers of the dance company were not in the rehearsal room at this time. After practicing Xiao Yao's competition dance in the morning, Xiao Yao gave them a holiday and let them go back to rest.

   "Where is August 1st?" Zhao Rui and Zhu Zitong greeted everyone, Zhao Rui asked. In the rehearsal room, everyone was there, but Xiao Yao was the only one who didn't see him.

   "It's in the recording studio." Cheng Xi replied, "He used a computer to make a demo of the dance soundtrack last night. He said that he needs to improve it today, and he will be tinkering with the soundtrack in the recording studio."

   "Neither of us saw Bayi when we came over," Lin Qisan said with a smile, "He seems to have been there for a while, with his efficiency, he should be here soon, let's wait."

  Zhu Zitong looked at Cheng Xi and said, "Sister Cheng Xi, do you know what the dance choreographed for us on Bayi? Can you teach us in advance?"

   "I don't know either," Cheng Xi shook his head, "I am a teaching assistant today. I help Xiao Yao stare at the movements of the two of you, and the person who taught you is Xiao Yao."

   "Oh, everyone is here!" A few people were chatting, Xiao Yao pushed the door and came in, glanced at the people in the rehearsal room, and said something with a smile.

   "Are you embarrassed to say? Just waiting for you!" Zhao Rui said immediately.

"Okay, let's not talk too much nonsense." Xiao Yao said, "I thought about it, and the video was shot outdoors. There is no need to actually go to the street. There is a graffiti wall in this park, let's go there. Take a photo on the park road in front of the graffiti wall. Before that, let’s practice in the rehearsal room."

   "No problem!" Everyone nodded. This kind of thing, Xiao Yao must be right!

   "Then let's start," Xiao Yao said, "Let's listen to the soundtrack first, this song is called "seve", let's feel it first." Then, Xiao Yao inserted a USB flash drive into the audio equipment in the corner of the rehearsal room.

   "What do you mean? Another English song?" Zhao Rui said.

   "You know when you hear it." Xiao Yao smiled.

  Music sounds. When everyone listened to it, they felt the taste of electronic dance music, and it was the kind of electronic music style with strong rhythm that Xiao Yao had seen before. As everyone listened, they nodded their heads slightly in accordance with the rhythm of the music, feeling the rhythm in the music.

  This style of music is a little bit beyond everyone's expectations, but when the arias in the music appear, the people in the rehearsal room are all confused. The whole song looks like more than three minutes, but the total of the three paragraphs with lyrics is estimated to be less than one and a half minutes. Can this be called a song? Well, electronic music does not have to have lyrics, but since you added the sing part, can you get something we can understand? What are these three sings?

   "Music is very good, very emotional, and makes people have the desire to dance." When the music ended, Nina first nodded and commented.

   "It sounds good, but what are the few passages in there?" Lin Qisan continued, "It's definitely not in English, and it doesn't sound like French."

  "It's Swahili," Xiao Yao replied with a smile, "The lyrics are the lyrics of a Christian gospel song. I won't translate it sentence by sentence. It's good if you know it."

  "Swahili? Where is that language?" Zhao Rui continued.

"One of the three major languages ​​in Africa is an official language in several countries in Africa. In addition to the countries that use it as a national language and a communicative language, it is still widely used in Africa." Xiao Yao said, "At that time, with Chen Xuan learnt it by the way when we went to take pictures in African countries."

   "I'm going! Forget that you still have an experience of wading around the world." Both Zhao Rui and Lin Qisan looked stunned. They knew that Xiao Yao had already started to learn French by himself when he was a child. After he arrived in Africa, it was incredible for others to learn the local language, but it was normal for Xiao Yao, the enchanting evildoer.

Xiao Yao thought that the dance prepared for Zhu Zitong and Nina Aiguli was the magical dance that was popularized by two Mongolian girls on the tubing in the previous life. The music used was naturally the song "Seve" by the French musician TezCadey in the previous life. Come make the soundtrack. If he hadn't had the experience of making waves with Chen Xuan before, Xiao Yao might have removed the Swahili chant from the original version. But since he happened to learn this language when he was in Africa, Xiao Yao also kept the lyrics from the original version. As for the chants inside, the original version uses children's voices. Xiao Yao now has no time to find a group of kids who can speak Swahili, so he has to sing by himself. In the recording studio just now, Xiao Yao was recording these passages of his singing.

   "Okay, I'll do it again," Xiao Yao clapped his hands, "Then start a single decomposition action teaching."

  "Wow~" The people in the rehearsal room clapped in a half-booing manner.

   Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, then pressed the play button on the audio device again, then walked to the middle of the rehearsal room, faced a few people, and jumped up to the music.

   "This, isn't it a bit simpler?" After a dance, Lin Qisan raised objection in a low voice.

   "You usually watch Nina dance too much, right?" Xiao Yao said angrily, "How about you try?"

   "Come on!" Lin Qisan stood up eagerly.

"So confident? It seems that you have been with Nina for more than a year, and your physical coordination and dancing ability have improved." Xiao Yao smiled, but waved his hand to stop Lin Qisandao, "Although this dance It’s not as easy as it seems, but it’s really not too difficult to learn. But have you considered my original purpose of choreographing the dance for the two of them? This dance video is for Zitong’s video sharing software. If the netizens can’t learn it Yes, how can we create a trend and how will it be effective?"

   "Are you going to bring a trend? What trend, is this dance?" Zhao Rui also asked.

"Of course, is this dance very magical? Do you want to dance after watching it, so you are so eager to stand up?" Xiao Yao pointed at Lin Qisan, and then looked at other people, "Aren't you all too? Want to jump along?

   "Yes." Cheng Xi, Zhao Rui, and Lin Qisan nodded uncontrollably.

"That's it." Xiao Yao said, "A few of us have also made some videos of this dance. After their videos are released, we will also send our dance videos to the video sharing software to help them bring them. A wave of rhythm, if this dance can't become popular on the Internet and become a popular trend, it will be my failure."
