Entertaining Children

  Chapter 634 Can I Recommend

  After the broadcast of this breakout match, which was like a special concert of his own work, Xiao Yao became a popular figure in the media and the Internet. Following this, countless performance invitations flocked to Xiao Yao's agent.

It is now during the summer vacation. Apart from the "Singer" final on the weekend, Xiao Yao has no work arrangements for the time being, but Fang, who is familiar with Xiao Yao's character, still directly helped him reject most of the performance invitations and report to Xiao Yao. There was only one invitation left that made Fang still feel very surprised and at the same time undecided.

"What? Zhedong Satellite TV wants me to be the tutor of "Good Voice"?" Xiao Yao who heard the news was also very surprised and incredulously said, "I was a student of that program the year before, and they really dare to think about it. !"

"I was also surprised when I received the call from Director Hu Bo, but it was indeed true. In addition to calling me, they even sent formal invitation emails to our work mailbox." Fang still said. "I replied to him that he needs to discuss with you, and it is up to you to make the decision. Director Hu said that if you are interested, he can come to Shencheng to meet with you, and personally discuss the specific cooperation details with you. It looks very good. Sincerity, I really want you to be a mentor."

  China’s several Davids see fierce competition with each other, and there are tit-for-tat ace shows in several higher-viewed program types. But except for New Year's Eve party and Mid-Autumn Festival party, which rely on holiday themes, fixed time, and have to head-to-head, the time of various other season-by-season talent shows and real human shows is not fixed every year. In order to strive for better ratings, they will make some adjustments according to the production and broadcast time of similar programs on other TV stations, and try to stagger each other to avoid "harming each other."

  The Good Voice of the previous year was recorded from June to August, and it was broadcast live from July to October. This year’s audience ratings and aggressive "Singer" finals will be until mid-July. After Xiao Yao participated in the season of "Good Voice" the previous year’s ratings had an unexpected rebound, the ratings of last year’s fifth season dropped quite sharply. , The program team has made some revisions to the program, and the preparatory work time originally took longer. This year, the program group has postponed the recording and broadcasting time by about a month, and the blind selection and recording only started at the end of July. After Xiao Yao participated in the "Singer" finals and then went to "Good Voice" as a mentor, there was no problem at least in terms of time.

  In fact, at the early stage of preparations for the fifth season of "Good Voice" last year, someone in the program group of Zhedong Satellite TV had already proposed to invite Xiao Yao to participate in the program again as a mentor. It's just that Xiao Yao was still a high school student at that time, and when he recorded it, he was at most a recent high school graduate who had just finished the college entrance examination.

Even though Xiao Yao had already won the "Golden Disc" Award and became the youngest newcomer award recipient in China's history, at that time he was still just the best newcomer with a strong momentum, both in age and seniority. Over there, ask him to sit with other veteran singers who are older than him in their twenties or even thirties as mentors? Most people still feel that it is a bit too early, and it will give people a feeling that the program group is purely looking for fame and topicality to select tutors, and it will reduce the perception of the authority of the program in the hearts of the audience.

  Because the ratings of this show last year were not satisfactory, the name Xiao Yao was mentioned again by some people in the show crew at the beginning of the show preparation this year. The outstanding performance of the "Golden Disc" award for two consecutive years is enough to make people no longer treat him as a talented newcomer. When the name Xiao Yao was mentioned again this year, there were fewer people who opposed it, but some mature and prudent people still insisted on opposing it for various reasons such as age, qualifications, and the need to worry about the feelings of other mentors. This time, the pros and the opposing people were quite evenly matched, and the issue was so stalemate.

   Later, Xiao Yao appeared in "Singer", and the preparation team of the "Good Voice" program also paid close attention to Xiao Yao's performance on the "Enemy Channel" program. If only talking about age and seniority, Xiao Yao is also not qualified for "Singer", but because the singer in this show is a contestant, not a mentor, this show has relatively few worries, but this show There is no shortage of veteran singers in China. Looking at Xiao Yao's performance on the same stage and backstage with singers of the same age and many in the show, you can also give them some references for their own shows.

With the broadcast of the first issue of the program, Xiao Yao became the mainstay of the viewership in the program, just like in "Good Voice" the year before. What everyone did not expect was that his youngest singer actually became a backstage singer. The central figure of those big-name singers. Looking at the interactions between the singers before and after each competition, Xiao Yao had no problems getting along with the singers who were much older, and the singers didn't seem to treat him as a newcomer or a child at all. At this time, the voice in favor of inviting Xiao Yao as a mentor had already begun to gain the upper hand in the preparatory group.

   Then, Xiao Yao’s plagiarism was exposed on the Internet, and the voice of asking Xiao Yao to be a mentor in the preparatory group disappeared for a while, and some people even secretly rejoiced that they had not rashly sent an invitation to Xiao Yao. But immediately, the Xiao family father and son development conference publicly clarified the plagiarism and exposed the shocking news that Xiao Yao is XY. Qualifications? I have already created and published music works 15 years ago. Isn’t this qualification enough?

  So, those who wanted to invite Xiao Yao to be a tutor on the show were again raised by the people in the preparatory group.

  Wait until the breakout match was broadcast, the other nine breakout singers unanimously chose Xiao Yao's work as their performance song and appeared on TV. Finally, there was no objection in the preparatory group. Nine big-name singers have used actions to show their respect for this young talent. A singer like Liang Xueying not only sang his songs on the show, but even all the performances of that show were created by Xiao Yao. Who will die? Holding on to Xiao Yao's age issue, thinking that he is not qualified to be a mentor for amateur singers or record companies who want to launch new singers?

   "There is no need for face-to-face interviews, and there is no need for someone to come here to be so troublesome," Xiao Yao thought for a while, shook his head, "I'll call Director Hu and talk to him by myself."

   "Okay." Fang still nodded, took out his mobile phone and dialed Hu Bo's number, and then handed it directly to Xiao Yao.

   "Hello Director Hu, this is Xiao Yao." As soon as the call was connected, Xiao Yao reported to his family. He now has Fang's work phone.

   "Xiao Yao, hello, hello!" Hu Bo over there immediately greeted him happily.

   "I watched all your performance in "Singer", it was wonderful." Hu Bo praised first.

   "Thank you." Xiao Yao smiled and thanked him.

   "You used Miss Fang's cell phone to call me. It should be Miss Fang who told you that our program wants you to do this season's mentor, right?" Hu Bo turned to the topic, guessing.

   "Yes," Xiao Yao smiled, "I was surprised and surprised when I heard this news! You weren't kidding me, did you?"

   "I don't like to play as much as you." Hu Bo said seriously, "We sincerely invite you to be a mentor."

  "But I was still a student in your program the year before last. In two years, I changed from a student to a mentor, which is too...too unacceptable, right?" Xiao Yao pondered a word.

   "What's wrong with this," Hu Bo said, "Your development and achievements in the past two years are all in the eyes of everyone. Now no one will think you are not qualified."

   "But..." Xiao Yao hesitated, "I was still a student of Sister Na the year before. This year you asked me to sit with her and grab someone from her. I was very embarrassed."

"You don't have to worry about this," Hu Bo said immediately. "Our mentor candidates have been adjusted. There is no teacher Shen Na in this season's mentor, not just her, but the other three mentors when you participated in the show the year before last, Chen Huan, The three teachers, Yi Kun and Yu Qing, are not in this year's mentor team, so you don’t have to worry about being embarrassed when you see your previous mentor."

   "Oh, no acquaintances anymore?" Xiao Yao said with interest, "Who are the mentors this year?"

"There are still acquaintances." Hu Bo said, "At present, the two mentors identified are Teacher Shazhou and Teacher Wan Peiling. In addition to you, one of them is also in discussion. Although Teacher Shazhou was on our program the year before. Sister’s teacher, but on that electronic program, he only asked you to call his captain, not his teacher. Teacher Wan Peiling also worked with you on that program, and they all saw it with their own eyes Those who have used you to guide others appreciate your ability to be a mentor, and hope that you can join them as a mentor on the show."

   "Teacher Shazhou and Teacher Wan Peiling." Xiao Yao muttered.

"Also," Hu Bo heard Xiao Yao's hesitation and continued to fight for it, "Our show has been revised this season, and there are some new rules changes. The most important point is that when the players are performing, The lyrics of the songs sung by the contestants were shown on the big screen."

   "Huh?" Xiao Yao was surprised.

He still remembers when he participated in "Good Voice" the year before last, because he sang the original innovative song almost every time, Chen Huan also asked the program group to release the lyrics of the song he sang. At that time, Chen Nan on the stage refused. Unexpectedly, this year's program team actually took the initiative to make this change. Lyrics are displayed on the big screen, which is a feature of the original music reality show "Good Songs", which is rarely done in other shows. Although "Singer" will also display the lyrics, it is shown to the audience and singers with a small teleprompter, and will not be shown to the TV audience on the big screen.

   "Don't say that you changed this rule specially for me," Xiao Yao smiled, "You don't want me to write a new song for every student, do you?"

   "Of course we won't ask you like this, but if you want to do it yourself, we don't object." Hu Bo also laughed.

   "Damn! This rule has been changed too deliberately, right?" Xiao Yao groaned in his heart, and his enthusiasm for participating in the show instantly dissipated a lot.

   "But the recording time for your show will take two months, right? If it starts at the end of July..." Xiao Yao didn't want to go anymore, and began to make excuses.

"I know you once quit that electronic music program because you didn't want to ask for leave from school, but college students always have a lot more free time than high school students, right?" Hu Bo said, "our programs are recorded on weekends, no Delay your school's courses. As for the usual rehearsal, Hangzhou is not far from Shanghai. It is not troublesome for students to go to Shanghai to receive guidance. We will help you arrange a rehearsal room in Shanghai that can be used 24 hours a day. It’s also possible to instruct students in the evening. Even if you start school in September, you can continue to participate in our program. We will do our best to minimize the impact on your studies."

Hearing what Hu Bo said about the arrangement of the program group, Xiao Yao felt even more disgusted in his heart and refused: "Director Hu, I am honored that your program group has chosen me as a candidate for a mentor, but I am sorry, I will compare my work arrangements later. Many, I may not have time to participate in this show. Thank you for your importance to me."

   "Huh?" Hu Bo on the other end of the phone was a little dumbfounded.

People in the preparatory group of the program group had been arguing whether Xiao Yao was suitable to be a mentor for this program, and whether he should be invited as a mentor, but they never considered Xiao Yao’s rejection of their invitation when time permits. In particular, After learning about Xiao Yao from Shazhou in detail, and deliberately making some rule changes and arrangements for him.

  "Then what is your purpose for calling me today?" Hu Bo asked again.

If it is really because of schedule or work that cannot participate in the show, Xiao Yao can still ask Fang to refuse directly. Even if he wants to call and reply in person to show respect for the show he has participated in, there seems to be no need to say before. so many. Having said so much, I still didn't come in the end. Isn't this a joke?

  Xiao Yao also heard the subtext in Hu Bo’s words, and it is hard to say that he lost his interest in the show because of the targeted arrangement of the show. Is it necessary for the show team to change those changes and back again? Xiao Yao would also feel boring. Seeing Fang still standing in front of him, Xiao Yao moved in his heart, remembering a reason, and said to Hu Bo on the phone: "I would like to ask, have you decided on the candidates for blind selection? Can I recommend it to the program group?"

  "Do you want to recommend students to our program group?" Hu Bo was stunned, and then smiled, "Is the new singer of your Qijia Studio who intends to debut through our program? We welcome it."

"You also know that the blind selection stage of our program is usually not enough. The eliminated students will return to the show for the second time and let the instructor choose again. There is no problem adding another student." Hu Bo continued, "According to the rules, All the students participating in the blind selection will be interviewed and assessed in advance, but since they can be valued by Qi Jia, I think it’s absolutely fine to pass the interview and assessment." Qi Jia’s people come to participate, and it is estimated that Xiao Yao will not Completely stand by, so that even if Xiao Yao is not a mentor, he will still have contact with the program. Of course, the program team is welcome to this situation.

"It's not from our Qijia studio, just a friend of mine." Xiao Yao smiled, "I haven't mentioned this matter to her yet, and I can't help her make a decision without authorization, but I think she might be more suitable. This is your program, so I’m asking you to inquire about the news first. Since you said that the list of blindly selected students has not been finalized, I will discuss with her first to see if she is willing to come, and then let my agent contact you. can you look?"

  My friend, Xiao Yao can’t call the shots. Such a person is also very good, so Hu Bo also agreed with a smile: "No problem, give me a reply within ten days, and I can arrange it."

"Okay, thank you, Director Hu. Goodbye, Director Hu!" Xiao Yao hung up the phone with a smile, and looked up at Fang and said, "Do you know who I'm talking about? I'll leave the rest to you. Oh!"
