Entertaining Children

  Chapter 601 Advance to the final

  When the singers and program managers entered the studio where the results were announced, Tao Ran had obviously been waiting for a long time. The usual seven sofas and seven high chairs became ten sofas and ten chairs, and a small stage in the recording area was immediately packed. But with so many people getting together, it was obviously a lot more lively than usual.

After the singers and agents settled down, Tao Ran first expressed his gratitude to the singers. First of all, of course, I would like to thank these singers for their wonderful performances for the audience today. Secondly, I sighed that this coincidence in this issue turned a breakout game into a special concert of works. It is foreseeable that, except for the live broadcast of the finals every season, this episode will almost certainly be the best-watched recording and broadcasting show since the show started. Of course, Tao Ran also took this opportunity to emphasize once again that today's work special is the self-release behavior of the singers, not the deliberate arrangement of the program group.

  Finally, Tao Ran explained to everyone the accident that occurred in the last scene. In the last season of the show, there was a case where the singer stopped halfway due to equipment failure and asked to re-sing and re-record. If you do it again this year, it will inevitably cause some controversy, and it will also be a great blow to the professionalism of software and hardware that the show has always advertised. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yao took a cappella on the fly, and then communicated with Liu Tong in a concealed gesture on the stage in time, and completed the entire performance without a microphone under the accompaniment of the band, which turned this accident into A very exciting and classic performance. Therefore, Tao Ran also specially thanked Xiao Yao again.

"Director Tao, I think Xiao Yao and all of us should thank you for the program group," Zhao Lixun said with a smile, "If it wasn't for your microphone that suddenly broke, Xiao Yao would not have the opportunity to perform, and we would not have been able to see it. Xiao Yao performed such a shocking performance. Singing in the studio without a microphone, at least this is the first time I have seen it."

"This time Xiao Yao helped us round it up, but what if we change to another person next time? Anyway, this time it is due to a problem with our equipment and a work error in our program team." Tao Ran officially said. Everyone bowed and said, "So, in addition to thanking you, I also want to formally apologize to you on behalf of the program team. In addition, we will review this mistake carefully and try our best to ensure that this kind of accident will not happen again in the future. occur."

  This program will not end when it is finished this year, and I want to do it again next year. Therefore, in this kind of thing, the mistakes that should be admitted have to be acknowledged, and the attitudes that should be expressed have to be shown. Tao Ran has already said this to the audience in the studio just now, and I don't mind saying it again here. After all, in addition to looking for an audience, this show will also invite singers next year. Although these people who are sitting now are no longer in their choice of starting singers next year, it is still possible to invite some of them to be kick-spot singers or make-up singers next year.

  After saying thank you and apologize, the next step is to move on to the topic. Ten singers competed for the seats in the four finals. The competition was fierce. Tao Ran had to deliberately set up some suspense when he announced the results, so as to provoke the singers present. But no matter how Tao Ran plays Suspense, the result will be announced after all. Ten minutes later, the results of this breakout match were finally announced in Tao Ran's mouth.

The first place in this breakout match fell to Xiao Yao without much suspense. The second place was won by Tian Wei, who played the penultimate place, and the third place was the Korean singer Liu Youyuan, who played the fourth place from the bottom, and fourth place. The name was won by Qin Xiaodong, who was the fifth from the bottom to play. With the exception of Hua Xiaolan, who played in the bottom third, did not advance, the top four are basically arranged in the reverse order of appearance, which also proves the importance of ranking in this show from the side. Of course, in the eyes of many singers, as long as Xiao Yao had the accident of a microphone failure while singing, he still used a cappella and did not use the microphone to complete the performance, so no matter how many times he played, the first estimate in the show It will be in his pocket.

"Congratulations to the four singers who made it to the final!" Tao Ran, who announced the ranking, continued, "Of course, we also want to thank the other six singers for their wonderful performances in this season's show. , Xueying and every one of you here can be so exciting! We welcome you to watch the finals and cheer for your favorite singers!"

   "Thank you!" The ten singers clapped together.

"The final is live, and we still have two episodes that have not been broadcast, so the final will be three weeks later. During these three weeks, the singer who has advanced to the final must contact the first-round vocalist by himself. Prepare two competition songs, so although these three weeks may seem a bit long, it is actually not very easy for the singers who qualify for the finals. I hope you will prepare well, and we also look forward to your giving us in the finals Bring a more exciting performance." Tao Ran finally announced, "This is the end of today's recording! Finally, thank you again!"

  At the end of the recording, when everyone opened the door of the recording studio and left, they found that Hong Wei, Xiao Siqi and Liang Xueying, the three early-promotion starters, were all waiting outside, obviously also concerned about the result of this breakout match.

  The performance of the singers is more restrained and restrained, but from the expressions of the agent behind them, it is easy to distinguish which singers have successfully advanced and which have failed to break through.

   "What's the number?" Looking at Shen Man's expression, Xiao Siqi knew that Xiao Yao must have been promoted, so Xiao Siqi walked to Xiao Yao and asked directly about the ranking.

   "First!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

   "Well, as everyone expected!" Xiao Siqi nodded, then shook his head and sighed, "What a pity!"

   "What a pity?" Xiao Yao looked at his father strangely.

   "If you sang today's song in the second round of the finals, maybe the program group would really dare to break the routine and give you the title of song king!" Xiao Siqi leaned close to Xiao Yao's ear and covered his mouth and whispered.

Although everyone understands certain conventional rules, it is not easy to speak in public. Xiao Siqi is purely an audience today. There is no microphone on his body, and this distance and volume will not be affected by the microphone on Xiao Yao’s collar. Take it in.

"What did the father and son whisper?" Hong Wei patted Xiao Siqi and walked to Xiao Yao's side. "I heard that you took the number one spot in the field? You deserve it! Cow!" With that, Hong Wei stood up. Gave a thumbs up.

   "Thank you!" Xiao Yao hurriedly bowed and thanked him.

  "Ah, isn't it the summer vacation for August 1st? I asked him if he wants to go home with me tomorrow." Xiao Siqi smiled, "Well, this kind of housework, of course the two of us should discuss it in a low voice!"

  "I will not return to Yanjing for now." Xiao Yao replied after Xiao Siqi's words, "I promised my classmates to accompany them to an event, so I have to stay in Shencheng for a while."

"I have to go to the event during the preparations for the finals. It is really a busy person." Hong Wei smiled, then turned to look at Xiao Siqi and said, "Why are you rushing to let him go home as soon as the holiday is off? Your son has grown up. Adults are no less famous than you. Don’t always think about keeping your son tied to yourself. Delaying him from participating in business activities will affect your career development!"

  "It's not to participate in commercial activities, it's to play. Go to an event secretly to see it, to be an audience!" Xiao Yao smiled.

   Seeing that there was still a camera shooting in front of him, Xiao Yao didn't say too much. The best part of the program’s confidentiality is the identity of the singer. At this stage, the identity of the singer is no longer a secret, and the confidentiality has dropped a lot. Xiao Yao is afraid that if someone on the show leaks the news to the Internet, fans will go to the e-sports carnival to block him.

"Sister Hong, is this Bayi my son or your son?" Xiao Siqi said amusedly, "Besides, I just asked him if he would return home, and I didn't want to tie him back to Yanjing. He has grown up since childhood. It’s his own decision, I have never forced him!"

   "Well, count me talking, don't mix with your housework, I'll go!" Hong Wei gave Xiao Siqi a white look, then turned to Qin Xiaodong's direction, "Xiaodong, congratulations on entering the finals!"

Xiao Siqi, who understands Hong Wei’s personality, is not too concerned about her performance. Seeing that Xiao Yao took off the microphone on his body and handed it to Shen Man, he put his arms around Xiao Yao’s shoulders while walking outside the TV station, and asked: "Since you want to Stay in Shencheng for a while, so the preparations for the finals are also in Shencheng, right? Yin Xi has a studio and practice room, I am not worried about it. Is there a candidate to help the singer, do I need to come out to help? Are you contacting?"

"No need." Xiao Yao smiled, "I haven't decided what song I will sing in the finals, so I don't know what kind of guest to help sing. I have participated in ten programs in a row, and it is just the final exam. After that, I decided to relax first, play it for a week, and then think about the finals at this time next week. When I decide what song I want to sing, I will go to help sing guests."

   "Play it for a week first, and it will only take three weeks in total. You are really big!" Xiao Siqi smiled.

  "In three weeks, play for one week first, and prepare two songs in the remaining two weeks, one song a week on average. This is not the same as the previous ten episodes, it should be no problem." Xiao Yao said.

"Okay, then you can grasp it yourself." Xiao Siqi said, "Next week, I have decided on the song to be sung in the finals. If you need me to come forward to help singers, please tell me, I will help you please." Although Xiao Yao recently He has risen rapidly in the past two years, but in terms of his connections in the music scene, Xiao Yao is still inferior to Xiao Siqi, who has been in the music industry for more than 20 years.

   "Don't worry, you are my dad! When you need your help, I won't be polite to you!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile.

"Okay," Xiao Siqi nodded, then continued, "There is another question. You have a place to record and practice songs, where can you live? It's all summer vacation, and you won't plan to continue in school. Do you live in the dormitory?"

   "Huh?" Xiao Yao was taken aback by Xiao Siqi's question, and then he realized that this was really a problem.

  Xu Liang and Qin Hao are not natives of Shencheng. They are from big cities with good family backgrounds. Even if they want to do summer jobs, most of them will not stay in Shencheng. Do you want to apply for a summer dormitory for one person? I'm not sure how long I will live without telling me. There is a common space for three people. During the summer vacation, many things needed for work are not easy to put in the dormitory.

  The office in the design studio can sleep, but it’s okay to make an impromptu overnight in that place. If you live there every day, Yin Xi will probably come to ask for trouble.

  There is still an empty room where Fang still lives with Pei Minyi. Regardless of the room where you store your own musical instruments and manuscripts, sharing with two female assistants is also not suitable. If it spreads out, especially to the reporters of the gossip media, it will definitely be a hassle.

Looking at Xiao Yao’s expression, Xiao Siqi knew that he had not considered this issue, and continued: “My dad certainly wouldn’t want to tie you around as Sister Hong said. Actually, I also discussed with your mother. After that, since you choose to go to school in Shenxi, the focus of work and life in the next few years will definitely be in Shencheng. It is better to buy a house in Shencheng. Next year, you will not live in school and have your own It’s more convenient for everything."

   "Not live in school anymore? Isn't this bad?" Xiao Yao hesitated.

"I know you don't want to be too special, but at least for now, you and your classmates are different. Whether you admit it or not, this is a fact!" Xiao Siqi said, "Even if you are an ordinary college student, you don't live now. The school, there are many renting houses outside the school, not to mention you? Living the collective life of the school, feeling for a year, and expressing your own attitude is enough."

"I'll think about it," Xiao Yao said, "Even if you don't live in school, you don't necessarily have to buy a house. Renting a house is fine. The big deal is to let Minyi come out and rent it. Even if I buy it, I have money in my hand. I really didn’t think about this before. Now that you have reminded me, I will take care of it myself, so you don’t have to worry about it!"

   "Okay," Xiao Siqi nodded, "I just remind you, I believe you will take care of it."
