Entertaining Children

  Chapter 589 "Leaving People"

  Before the competition began, Xiao Yao's door was knocked open by Hua Xiaoyun again. It turns out that Xiao Yao's joke about gift-giving in the last issue was really remembered by Hua Xiaoyun. It's just that she didn't deliver them in front of everyone in the lobby on the first floor like Tian Wei and Wei Shile, but delivered them individually in each room. The things are not expensive, they are the specialties of their hometown, and at best they are gift boxes with more beautiful packaging, so Xiao Yao is also polite to accept it.

In the studio, the countdown sounded, the competition began, and the lights in front of the stage were on. Xiao Yao's light blue pullover with a heart-necked upper body revealed a white round-necked T-shirt at the neckline, matching the blue on the lower body. Color jeans, casual shoes, the whole person appeared on the stage in a very casual dress. The audience saw Xiao Yao appearing on the stage holding the microphone, and they were also very happy to send a burst of warm applause.

  This is the second time Xiao Yao has not worn formal clothes to host. When I sang "When You Are Old" last time, Xiao Yao’s school-style dress in white shirt and jeans was also very simple, but in comparison, the last time it looked like a student-like freshness, and this time it gave people a sense of freshness. Feel more mature and more relaxed. Although the focus and feeling are different, everyone looks very seductive. After so many episodes, whether it is a dazzling performance costume, a formal dress specially prepared for the host in the early stage, or this very ordinary daily costume, Xiao Yao seems to have a good costume control ability.

   "Hello everyone, welcome everyone to..." Xiao Yao first bowed to the audience, and then started to talk about the opening remarks step by step.

  The opening remarks, the usual super-fast advertising slogan, and then emphasized to the audience that this is the last knockout match of the season, and Xiao Yao introduced the song of the first singer on the stage according to the table. At this point in the competition, Xiao Yao didn’t want to interact with the audience and say some easy and funny jokes. So this time the script Xiao Yao almost didn’t change a word, and it was completely in accordance with the script given by the program crew. The words come to host.

  The situation in this issue is a bit subtle.

  The three starting singers are indeed the most nervous, because whether they are eliminated today depends on whether they can directly advance to the finals. If they are eliminated and forced to participate in the breakout match, it not only means that they have to spend more energy to prepare for a performance, but also means that they may miss the finals. After all, the breakout competition does not only eliminate one singer. If one of them falls into the breakout competition, it will be eleven singers competing for the five final places, and no one can guarantee that they will be able to get from it. The breakout match broke out.

  It’s not accurate to say that the other four singers are not nervous at all, don’t care at all. Although they are determined to participate in the breakout match according to the rules, whether they are eliminated today is also related to their choice of appearance in the breakout match. The way to determine the order of appearance in the breakout match is not to draw lots or play games, but to choose by the singers according to their performance on the show. If they can't be eliminated today, then online singers like them can prioritize their order of appearance in the breakout match.

  The specific rules for determining the order of appearance are as follows: among online singers, the longest online singer will be selected first, and the shortest online singer will be selected later. After the online singers are selected, the eliminated singers will be selected. Several eliminated singers are also selected according to the length of time they have been on the show. When the singers who have failed to kick the hall are finally selected, they are basically not selected. Last year, when there were two singers who failed to play in the stadium, the program team also arranged a lottery ceremony for the two separately. This year, only one Lan Ruixi failed in the play, and it was confirmed that she must only be selected by others. One came out.

  So in general, the seven singers still have aspirations for today's results. This also ensures that there will be no singers to deal with errands in today's performance, which is far below the previous level. But the pursuits of the two groups of people are still different. At least from the performances of the first three singers, Xiao Yao feels that Hong Wei’s importance is somewhat different from that of Wei Shile and Tian Wei, the two non-starter singers. .

"Thank you Sister Hong for the wonderful performance!" Hong Wei's performance ended. After leaving the stage, Xiao Yao stood on the stage again. "By the way, I would like to remind everyone that I will now be a singer who will participate in the next breakout contest. There are already ten. If a certain starting singer is eliminated today, the number of singers participating in the breakout competition will increase to eleven. If the singers eliminated today are non-starters, then there will be ten singers participating in the breakout competition. How to vote and how to choose, please consider carefully."

  After reciting this sentence, Xiao Yao responded in his heart. This feeling is to imply that the audience will eliminate another starting singer, and if the starting singer is really to be eliminated, Xiao Siqi, who ranked fifth in the previous issue, is undoubtedly the most dangerous. Fortunately, there were very few viewers who participated in the two consecutive recordings of this show. Most of the viewers did not know the singer's ranking of the previous show, which also avoided the audience from deliberately wanting to see one more singer in the breakout match Throwing Xiao Siqi out, so Xiao Yao said these words honestly in accordance with the Taiwanese version.

   "Okay, the next song..." Xiao Yao frowned deliberately and paused, making a helpless expression of shrugging shoulders and spreading his hands, "The program group did not write an introduction to this song on the table."

   "Huh?" The audience in the audience also showed puzzled expressions.

   Xiao Yao continued: "Because this is a song that no one has ever heard!"

  "Wow~" The audience under the stage immediately understood and knew that this was Xiao Yao who was about to perform.

"Everyone understands, right?" Xiao Yao looked at the sudden expressions of the audience, and said with a smile, "Although the screenwriter of the program group did not write the introduction, as a brazen host, I can make a temporary Adding words. So I want to tell everyone that the next song is definitely a very nice song!"

   "Haha~"

   "Call~"

  The audience burst into applause mixed with boos and laughter.

   "He knows he is brazen too!" In the room in the lounge, several singers also pointed at Xiao Yao on the TV with a smile.

   "Okay, close it!" Xiao Yao put away his smile, and once again made a fist with one hand. The audience cooperated with applause, boos and laughter.

   "A "Li Ren" for everyone!" Xiao Yao bowed slightly.

  Amid the applause of the audience again, Xiao Yao turned back and walked towards the center of the stage. There, a vertical microphone stand has already been set up. Xiao Yao lifted the microphone stand to the position where he was standing in front of the stage, then stood behind the microphone stand, inserted the microphone in his hand into the microphone stand, and put his hands on the microphone stand. Hold the pole of the microphone stand.

   "I'm ready to sing like this? I finally don't play musical instruments or any tricks today?" Seeing Xiao Yao in casual clothes and a microphone stand on the stage, some audience thought inexplicably.

  Xiao Yao sideways nodded in Liu Tong's direction. The brightness of the lights on the stage was reduced a little, and a beam of chasing light hit Xiao Yao's body from top to bottom.

  Liu Tong waved his hand, and a soft piano sound rang. Just listening to the melody of this intro, everyone finds it very beautiful. As a result, everyone heard a whistle before closing their eyes to enjoy themselves. Since Xiao Yao was standing in front of the stage, everyone could clearly see Xiao Yao who was behind the microphone tilted his head slightly, his cheeks were closed slightly, his mouth pouted, and his lips stretched out into a circle, facing the microphone. The whistle was obviously made by Xiao Yao.

   Xiao Yao’s whistle is not a simple whistle sound. It is not only long, but also has a melodic tone. It is obviously part of the prelude to the song that matches the sound of the piano.

   "I won't play a musical instrument this time, I changed the whistle? But let alone, the whistle is really nice!" the audience said in their hearts.

The   whistle lasted for seven or eight seconds before it disappeared, followed by a single piano accompaniment.

  "The silver boat swayed, swayed, bent, and hung in the fluffy sky~"

  At the end of the prelude, Xiao Yao began to sing with affectionate and gentle expression.

  "Wow~It's so beautiful~" After hearing the first sentence, the audience felt like they were kneeling. It’s not that Xiao Yao has never sung slower lyrical songs on this stage before, but neither the "Red Rose" nor the folk song "When You Are Old" are not as gentle as the first sentence of this song. Like water and so attractive to the ears.

  "Your thoughts are three, two, two, blue, stop on my faint heart~"

When    continued to sing the second sentence, many viewers felt their hearts began to crumble. The feeling at the beginning of this song is a touch of melancholy with an unusually softness. At this time, Xiao Yao not only had an unusually soft expression, but also held the microphone holder with both hands, bent his knees slightly, arched his body, and tilted his head, not as tall as usual. Whether it is visual or auditory, it makes the audience feel a bit stuck in the warm and soft water, feeling unable to extricate themselves.

  "My baggage is lonely, alone, scattered, and melancholy~"

  As Xiao Yao sang, everyone found that the feeling of this song was not diminished at all, but the melancholy was getting thicker and thicker. The emotions of many audiences began to be brought up by Xiao Yao's singing, and the scene began to become quieter and quieter.

  "Leaving people and exiled to the border, as if entering the fifth season, the day and night are chaotic and harmonious, the tide will rise and fall waywardly, there is no spring in the dictionary~"

  When the song comes to the chorus, Xiao Yao’s voice has improved a bit, and the sense of distress has also become stronger. Although the lyrics of "the fifth season" and "there is no spring in the dictionary" made many viewers ignorant and didn't understand the specific meaning, the artistic conception and melodious melody created by the previous lyrics still let everyone. Quite enjoyable indulged in this song.

  "Liren squandered his tears, avoiding the parting that is still in front of you~ You refuse to say goodbye, I dare not think about tomorrow, someone said that once a farewell star will be in the sky, it will go out again~"

  When the song came to the second paragraph of the chorus, many audiences were already red eyes by Xiao Yao. It's just that before the audience had time to cry, their eyes widened because of the scene on stage.

When Xiao Yao finished singing the second part of the chorus, the spotlight on Xiao Yao's head suddenly went out, and the front of the stage became pitch black. At the same time, another spotlight on the back of the stage came on. From the top to the bottom, and in the beam of light formed by the chasing lights, there was an extra person on the stage, playing with a saxophone. There was also a sound of saxophone music from the live speakers.

  In the interlude of the song, after a ten-second period of saxophone accompanied by string music, with the addition of drums, a significantly higher pitch saxophone sounded. The chasing light in front of the stage also lights up again, and Xiao Yao, who reappears in the audience's sight, also has an additional instrument in his hand and is playing. The musical instruments that Xiao Yao and the person behind are holding in their hands are saxophones, but the person behind them is holding a curved pipe, and Xiao Yao's holding a straight pipe.

"Sure enough, I still can't do without the instrument!" Xiao Yao's playing continued. In order not to spoil the artistic conception of the song, most of the audience did not applaud or cheer, but watched Xiao Yao smile silently in their hearts on the stage. Tao.

  "The silver boat swayed, swayed, bent, and hung in the fluffy sky~"

After the saxophone performance of   Interlude, Xiao Yao held up the saxophone and leaned in front of the microphone to begin singing the second verse of the song. Although there was something in his hand, it did not affect Xiao Yao's subsequent singing at all. It was just that the hands holding the microphone stand pole were changed to holding the saxophone. The expression, eyes, and posture were nothing like before. different.

  The verse and chorus of the second half of the song are the same as the first half, except that the second paragraph of the chorus is repeated one more time as the end of the song. This is originally a song that needs to be savored carefully, and the more you listen to it, the more flavorful it is. Therefore, the two identical lyrics and melody did not make the audience feel the slightest boring, but they have a deeper understanding of the artistic conception in the song. one cent.

  When Xiao Yao repeated the second chorus of the song with a slightly different rhythm, most of the audience felt that Xiao Yao’s song should be over. However, after Xiao Yao's voice fell, the accompaniment music did not immediately stop. Just when everyone was guessing whether Xiao Yao was going to show the last saxophone at the end of the song, everyone found that the melody at the end of the song was the same as the prelude. A few seconds later, Xiao Yao holding the saxophone in his hand Instead of putting the mouthpiece of the saxophone in his mouth, he tilted his head, pouting his lips and leaning in front of the microphone and whistling as he did at the beginning.

  Seeing this scene, some viewers who still had tears on their faces before they could be wiped off couldn't help but smile again.

  This time, Xiao Yao’s whistle lasted longer than the prelude. After a full ten seconds, he and the accompanying piano gradually stopped.
