Entertaining Children

  Chapter 755 Arrangement

  Xiao Yao only heard about and met Zhang Baoqing, the master of cross talk on TV, but had not seen him in private, but it is not difficult to check Azi's rhetoric if he wants to inquire about this big figure in the music industry. To put it bluntly, it is just a matter of a few phone calls.

  The first call, Xiao Yao called Wang Yuan of Xiangnan Satellite TV. This famous entertainment host who has been in business for nearly 30 years has very extensive contacts. It can be seen from his attitude towards folk music that he also likes and values ​​Chinese traditional culture very much, and he also knows many celebrities in traditional folk music. Xiao Yao called and asked, Wang Yuan really knew Zhang Baoqing, the cross talk master, and he had a good friendship.

   On the second call, Xiao Yao called his grandfather Xiao Chengru. Elderly people at this age are basically interested in traditional folk arts. The old man is a native of Yanjing. In addition to being a fan of Peking opera, he also likes cross talk and other operas. As a performance artist of the older generation, he also knows this great figure in cross talk.

  Wang Yuan has seen Xiao Yao on the show for the first time more than ten years ago. Whether it is public or private, he has liked and valued this little guy very much. Xiao Chengru is Xiao Yao's grandfather, let alone Xiao Yao. When Xiao Yao asked these two elders to ask about Zhang Baoqing and his daughter Zhang Huanian, both of them immediately agreed. Even when Xiao Yao raised the need to keep it secret, and Zhang Baoqing couldn't let Zhang Baoqing know that he was inquiring during the inquiries, even though the two of them were a little strange, they both agreed.

  Zhang Huanian did not perform publicly when he was a child, and did not appear in the media. He was not shameless, and was hidden by Zhang Baoqing. Many of Zhang Baoqing’s acquaintances and friends have seen his little daughter. The relationship between father and daughter, career planning, and career development are not particularly private matters for the friends around me. Although there are not many people who know the "three-year agreement" between the father and daughter, but I heard that the master of cross talk My daughter doesn't like to talk about cross talk, and there are also many people who have disagreements about this aspect.

Two days later, Xiao Yao received a reply from Wang Yuan and Xiao Chengru. Except for the "three-year agreement" that needs to be kept confidential, Xiao Yao did not tell them about Zhang Huanian’s age, appearance, growth experience, current situation, The relationship with Zhang Baoqing and so on, what Azi said is true.

  On the third day of the New Year’s holiday, Xiao Yao sent a message to Zhang Huanian and asked her to meet in the recording studio.

  "How should I call you? Zhang Huanian, Huanian, Huanian, Nianjie, or continue to be called Azi?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile when he saw Zhang Huanian.

"I don't dare to be a sister. It's best not to call me Zhang Huanian by the name of Zhang Huanian, so as not to be heard by others, just keep calling Azi." Hearing what Xiao Yao said, Azi knew that Xiao Yao had been determined. With my own identity, I also promised to help myself, and said with a smile on his face, "I prefer people to call me by my own stage name."

   "Okay, then Azi," Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, and passed a few pieces of paper, "You will get familiar with it first, and then enter the recording room for a trial singing."

"Okay," Azi happily took it, and after looking at it twice, his head drooped again, "Why are they all old songs? Are you still asking me to cover them?" It turned out that Xiao Yao handed it to her. A few pieces of paper are the scores of a few songs. There are songs written by Xiao Yao and songs by others, but all of them are old songs that have been released by other female singers.

"I said I wanted you to sing, but I didn't say that I would record it for you," Xiao Yao laughed. "I have watched your live video, but I haven't heard you sing live. You must first understand how well you sing. "

"I haven't written the song for you yet." Xiao Yao continued, "The types of songs you sang during the live broadcast are too complicated. I also need to help you find the location. These songs are of different types. I have to Look at what you are good at and what type of song you are suitable for, so that you can decide what kind of song you can write."

   "Oh, okay." Azi nodded, picked up a few pieces of paper in his hand and looked at it.

  These are all songs that have already been released. Azi has listened to it before, so he just took a few glances and told Xiao Yao the order in which he would sing so that Xiao Yao could play the accompaniment, so he went to the recording room to audition.

  This is an audition rather than a recording. Xiao Yao just listened quietly throughout the whole process, basically not speaking much, and did not call to stop to correct the problem when Azi sang. Almost half an hour later, Azi sang all the six songs Xiao Yao had given her and came out of the recording room.

  "How am I singing?" After returning to the control room, Azi immediately asked Xiao Yao.

   "Let me tell you a secret first!" Xiao Yao did not answer, but instead raised a finger and said.

   "What's the secret?" Azi asked curiously.

   "Did you send Demo to China Entertainment Records?" Xiao Yao continued to ask.

   "Yes!" Azi nodded, and said in confusion, "Isn't it a secret? Why did it involve me sending the Demo again?"

"The secret I want to tell you is," Xiao Yao smiled. "I got a piece of news from China Entertainment Records. Back then, your dad greeted someone from China Entertainment. He didn't say that you were her daughter. He just said that he knew one. The female singer named Azi has a very average singing level. I guess that other record companies should have received similar hints from him."

After confirming the identity of Azi, Xiao Yao remembered that Azi had said that he had sent a demo to the record company, so he contacted the people of China Entertainment Records through Xiao Siqi, and wanted to listen to the demo that Azi sent. . After all, the live video found on the Internet has uneven sound quality, and the content that can be heard is limited. Although Xiao Siqi went out from China Entertainment to establish his own business, but the cooperative relationship with China Entertainment is still very close. It's not a big deal to ask them for a demo. Of course, the people at China Entertainment will not refuse.

  When digging out the demo, the people of China Entertainment also saw a special record from the relevant document memo, that is, Zhang Baoqing said hello. This singer sings well and is not suitable for signing a contract. People at China Entertainment didn’t know that Azi was Zhang Baoqing’s daughter, and thought it was this female singer who had a feast with Zhang Baoqing or someone under him. In addition, the demo was not particularly good, so naturally she wouldn’t. Reply to this new singer who has never heard of it.

  Xiao Siqi suddenly asked for a demo that was delivered more than a year ago. Although the people of China Entertainment did not refuse, it is impossible not to be curious. Upon investigation, it was discovered that this Azi seems to have the same name as an online celebrity anchor, and it is estimated that it will be the same person.

  Currently, the star who is closest to the live broadcast circle is Xiao Siqi’s son Xiao Yao. He not only does the live broadcast by himself, but also writes songs to three female internet celebrity anchors. People at China Entertainment speculated that it might be that Xiao Yao is going to write a song for the internet celebrity anchor named Azi again, and Xiao Siqi wants to take advantage of the opportunity to sign the internet celebrity anchor into his studio. In order to prevent Xiao Siqi, the partner from inadvertently offending the quyi master because of this singing-like internet celebrity anchor, the people from China Entertainment also ordered Xiao Siqi by the way when they gave the demo. Xiao Siqi asked for a demo for Xiao Yao, so he naturally told Xiao Yao the cryptic hint of China Entertainment.

   "What? My dad did such a thing secretly? It's too much!" As soon as Azi heard it, it exploded and exclaimed angrily.

"Don't be angry first, and don't rush to argue with your dad!" Xiao Yao waved his hand, "I heard the demo you gave to China Entertainment. It's really normal. To be honest, even if it's you now, even Throw away the factor of your dad’s greeting, and then send a demo to China Entertainment. According to China Entertainment’s standards, you will linger between signing and not signing. If China Entertainment arranges an audition before signing, you will not be signed The possibility of signing you is greater than that of signing you. Even if China Entertainment reluctantly signs you, you will not be the object of their support within two or three years. If you don’t tell China Entertainment who your dad is, you might In China Entertainment will never make it out."

  "Do you mean that I sang badly just now?" Azi said a little discouraged, "I'm not suitable to take the path of a singer?"

   "Singing skills are indeed almost meaning, but it is not impossible to be a singer." Xiao Yao shook his head, "Singing skills are the foundation, but not everything, and singing skills are not impossible to practice. You don't have to be too discouraged."

  Xiao Yao’s words were a bit exaggerated just now, and he deliberately lowered it, but he said that because he didn’t want Azi to be too complacent, thinking that everything would be all right if he wrote songs by himself, instead of hitting her to completely lose confidence.

   "You mean I still have a show?" Azi immediately raised his head.

   "Of course," Xiao Yao nodded, "Will you listen to my arrangements?"

   "Do you have arrangements for me?" Azi said, "Are you going to guide my singing? You promised to accept me as a student?"

"When recording, I can only guide you on the performance of a certain song, but in terms of basic skills, I don't have the time or the patience." Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I have a lot of work and I am still in school. Can't be a full-time teacher."

   "Then how do you plan to arrange?" Azi said.

   "Judging from what you wear that night and what you are using now, you don't have much financial pressure, right?" Xiao Yao said.

"Yeah," Azi nodded, "My dad and I just have a disagreement about my future career path. I didn't break up with my family and ran away. My dad won't impose financial sanctions on me, my mom and my brother. They are very concerned about my life. In addition, I am a good anchor now, and there is no financial pressure at all."

"Since you have money, the first step is to find a professional vocal teacher for yourself to study and improve your singing skills." Xiao Yao said, "If you don't know anyone in this area, I can introduce one to you. , Our Shen Opera vocal teacher is not bad, graduated from the Conservatory of Music, very good."

   "I have no problem finding a teacher to learn the basic skills, but time..." Azi hesitated.

"Worried about conflicting with your live broadcast time?" Xiao Yao smiled, "This is the second point I want to say. Since you don't rely on live broadcast to eat, then you will greatly reduce the live broadcast time in the future, four or five times a week. Two hours or so will be enough each time."

   "Live broadcast for two hours every time?" Azi asked in surprise, "Is it too little?"

"Just two hours!" Xiao Yao said, "Not only is the live broadcast time shortened, but the content of the live broadcast has to be adjusted. The two hours are mainly singing, and during the break, simply chat and chat. Don't continue with all the miscellaneous content. Up."

   "Is this style of live broadcast long?" Azi said with some worry, "Although many of the more popular female anchors are singing anchors, in addition to singing, everyone has some other specialties and characteristics."

"You are different from them," Xiao Yao said, "For example, Sister La, her style is suitable for webcasting, and you can't learn it if you want to. Sister La sang "The End" on "Good Voice", deliberately It can be seen from the first round of the tour that she also has an accurate positioning of herself and has no intention of developing into the traditional entertainment circle. Unlike you, since you did not intend to be an anchor all the time, you just went to the traditional entertainment circle from the beginning, so don’t establish it. An image that is too close to the people. You give people the impression that there is nothing but singing. The agreement between you and your dad is only one and a half years away. After one and a half years, no matter who you and your dad win Now, you should all want to quit the network anchor. From now on, you will start to transform and manage your new image. This image should not serve the identity of the network anchor, but to enter the tradition in the future. Prepare for the entertainment industry."

   "In that case, why don't I just stop the live broadcast now and concentrate on going to school?" Azi said.

   "Because the conditions you and your dad have agreed with are also about popularity," Xiao Yao said, "You did the live broadcast for this in the first place, didn't you?"

"In fact, being a webcaster to accumulate popularity is also a good way," Xiao Yao said. "After changing the style and time of the live broadcast, you may lose followers, but I also think of a remedy for you. If it’s good, it’s hard to say whether the number of fans in your live broadcast room will drop, but the subscriptions on Weibo and website music stations should increase instead."

   "What way?" Azi asked. She hadn't been an anchor when she made an appointment with her father. The number of fans in the live broadcast room is not an agreed condition. It doesn't matter how much it is. As long as the number of fans on Weibo and music websites can increase, it will be beneficial to her.

"It's very simple. Go to other anchors' live broadcast rooms as guests and live with others!" Xiao Yao said, "Go to other anchors' live broadcast rooms. The income of props and gifts is all from others. People benefit from each other's fans. , Together with the name, there should not be many anchors rejected. In terms of candidates, you don’t have to be restricted to the live broadcast platform "Kirin". Although you can play across platforms, I will introduce you to the three "Yuyu" If "Kirin" has opinions about going to the live broadcast rooms of other platforms, then terminate the contract and switch to another platform. Anyway, you are not short of money and do not rely on live broadcasts for food."

   "Okay, I will listen to your arrangements!" Azi considered for a while, nodded in agreement.

   "If all goes well, I should be able to write songs for you in half a year." Xiao Yao smiled.

   "In half a year? So long?" Azi said.

"Is it a long time for half a year? Isn't the agreement between you and your dad still one and a half years away?" Xiao Yao said, "I can't guarantee the first one to let a well-known big record company sign a contract with you. There is not that much energy, so our goal That’s the last three. It’s already January, and the program of the Spring Festival Gala is estimated to have been set. This year’s Spring Festival Gala will definitely be out of you. It’s better to accumulate for half a year. If everything goes well, half a year should be enough for me to send you to next year. The stage of the Spring Festival Gala. If you can successfully stand on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala at that time, I believe the other two conditions have probably already been fulfilled."

   "I believe you, what do you say, I will do it!" Azi said with firm eyes.

   "In fact, these are all plans. Whether they can be achieved or not, the most important thing is up to you!" Xiao Yao said.

   "Understood!" Azi nodded, and couldn't help asking Xiao Yao, "By the way, speaking of the Spring Festival Gala, will you be there for this year's Spring Festival Gala?"

   "I received the invitation from the Spring Festival Gala program group, but I declined it." Xiao Yao said, "I went to the Spring Festival Gala last year, and this year I have to spend time with my family."

   "How many people want to go to the Spring Festival Gala and still can't make it. They offered to invite you and were rejected by you?" Azi shook his head and exclaimed, "This person is really incomparable with others!"
