Entertaining Children

  Chapter 761 The lyrics to the heart

   Xiao Yao returned to the backstage, Pei Minyi immediately greeted him with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, boss! You are winning!"

"I'll play for you for a while!" Xiao Yao smiled and stuffed the trophy in Pei Minyi's hands, and asked as he walked quickly to the dressing room, "I have to change clothes and get ready to play, are the clothes ready? "The song Xiao Yao is going to sing is a folk song. He feels that it is not appropriate to wear a black formal suit to perform on stage. He needs to change his costume before he appears on stage.

"Don't worry, it's all ready, put it in the locker room!" Pei Minyi walked to the lounge with Xiao Yao holding the trophy, "Should I help change it?" Of course, Pei Minyi would not enter the locker room with Xiao Yao, but Helping Xiao Yao untie the laces and buttons can also save Xiao Yao some time. After spending so long in the studio of Yin Xi's studio, Pei Minyi also learned the ability to help models change clothes. This aspect is now comparable to professional clothing assistants and styling assistants.

   "No, although the time is relatively short, but it is not that nervous. You help me guard the door of the dressing room, and don't let people come in." Xiao Yao smiled.

  The award ceremony is different from ordinary TV programs. Star guests who are not on time for the performance are all sitting in the front auditorium to watch the awards. Only when they are about to perform, the makeup artist will come to the makeup artist to change clothes for styling in advance. Therefore, the organizer did not prepare many lounges, but only arranged two dressing rooms with dressing rooms for the stars who were going to play in turn to use.

   Xiao Yao also changed clothes very quickly. In less than three minutes, Xiao Yao came out of the locker room, a black formal dress changed into a gray T-shirt with a black and white plaid cotton shirt, blue jeans and black casual shoes. Rubbing his hair in front of the makeup mirror to make the original exquisite hairstyle fluffy, Xiao Yao took the harmonica handed over by Pei Minyi and walked quickly to the back passage of the stage.

"It's fast enough! Wait a minute!" Seeing Xiao Yao appearing at the entrance of the passage, the on-site director turned around and praised Xiao Yao, and told the headset, "Xiao Yao is already in place, set up the stage, speed up !"

  The live stage of the "Golden Disc" award is composed of a trapezoid and a circular stage connected together. The larger trapezoidal stage at the back is the performance stage, and the small round stage in front of the trapezoidal stage is the area where the host announces the curtain and awards the awards. When the awards are in progress, the host will retreat to the edge of the back of the big stage near the audience.

   Xiao Yao secretly took a look, and found that the band’s musicians and harmony singers were already on stage, and he was the only performer. However, the band musicians and staff are still preparing together, obviously not fully prepared yet.

The preparations on the stage did not attract much attention from the audience. In addition to the dim light on the back stage, it was also because everyone’s attention was placed on the brightly lit small stage in front. The one holding the trophy is standing. The female singer who said the award-winning speech behind the microphone. Xiao Yao recognized that it was a female folk singer named Shao Yun, who seemed to be the winner of the best folk song album. Thinking that the age of the female singer seemed to be around 30, Xiao Yao touched his nose unnaturally.

  "Okay, let's get on the stage!" Seeing Shao Yun's acceptance speech, the preparations on the stage have been completed. The director at the exit of the channel handed the microphone in his hand to Xiao Yao and signaled Xiao Yao to come on stage.

The two award-giving guests and the award-winning female singer didn’t have to go back to the backstage. They walked off the small stage from the front and returned to their seats. Lu Ke also walked from the side of the large stage to the small stage to introduce to the audience. Said: "Next, the winner of the best folk song just now will bring his performance to us all!"

   "Wow~" After listening to Lu Ke's introduction, the applause that had just stopped in the audience rang again. Although the name was not mentioned directly, the winner of the best folk song just left the stage a few minutes ago. Everyone knows that Lu Ke is referring to Xiao Yao.

   "What he brought to everyone is an original new song. Tonight is the first public performance!" Lu Ke continued.

  "Oh~" I heard it was the first performance of the original innovative song, and the applause and cheers in the audience became louder. At the same time, there were some discussions on the scene and on the Internet.

   "It's the original creative song again! It really is Xiao Yao's consistent style!"

   "The scene version will appear first again, yes, this is Xiao Yao!"

   "He said on the red carpet that he would sing a new song, he had expected it!"

   "I just don't know what song he will sing on this occasion."

   "I bet it is a folk song."

   "Just because he just won the best folk song? The nominations he got this year are not old or young. How do you know that he won't win other awards?"

"No, you just didn't pay attention to what he said? He said that he has already released seven folk songs, and after tonight there will be eight, which means that he must sing new folk songs tonight. Unless he will perform later, otherwise. The song must be a folk song."

   "It seems to be true! Is he going to book next year's best folk song award?"

   "Below, please ask Xiao Yao to bring his performance!" At last, Lu Ke turned slightly to the side behind him, raised his hand and pointed behind him, and quickly stepped back to the side.

  "Wow~" The lights above the large stage behind came on, Xiao Yao, who had changed his clothes, appeared in front of the audience, and the cheers of the audience on the spot became a bit louder.

   "Huh?" Amidst the cheers, there were several soft surprises, "Isn't he singing folk songs? What about his guitar, why didn't he back his guitar?"

  So far, Xiao Yao’s live singing of folk songs is all self-playing and singing with a guitar. It seems that many viewers have become accustomed to Xiao Yao playing the guitar and singing folk songs.

After the lights on the stage behind    turned on, the scene on the stage also appeared on the big screen at the scene. However, in front of these pictures, six large white characters-"Thirty-year-old woman" appeared.

  "This is the title of the song?" Many viewers understood, "A thirty-year-old woman? A song for a thirty-year-old woman?"

"As long as you can come back tomorrow." Before the music started, Xiao Yao raised the microphone in his left hand to his mouth, but instead of singing, he lowered his head, and said in a slightly helpless tone. A monologue.

  After finishing this sentence, Xiao Yao squeezed the left hand of the microphone handle and loosened the microphone in his hand. But before the audience exclaimed, Xiao Yao closed his left hand again and pinched the mesh cover of the microphone head with the lower half of his palm.

  After the monologue, the guitarist in the band plucked the strings, and a guitar rang. At the same time, Xiao Yao raised his right hand to his mouth, and his left hand holding the microphone grille part was joined together.

  "Woo~" One measure later, the harmonica sound was added to the guitar in the song's prelude. Everyone realized that Xiao Yao was still holding a harmonica in his right hand, and he deliberately held the microphone in his left hand to the position of the mesh cover, so that the microphone can clearly receive the sound of the harmonica while holding the harmonica in both hands and playing.

After the sound of the harmonica sounded, it became the main body of the music in the prelude part in turn with the guitar sound. This peculiar combination gave the audience a very novel auditory experience. In addition, the melody of the prelude was also very beautiful. Attracted by the intro music, the scene quickly quieted down.

  In addition to being attracted by the melody of the prelude, many viewers were fascinated by Xiao Yao's appearance on the big screen with his head down, his hands holding the harmonica and microphone.

   "Even without a guitar, I'm still handsome!" The girl star and the female audience couldn't help putting their hands together and exclaimed in their hearts.

On stage performances, Xiao Yao had only played the harmonica twice before, once in "Good Voice", "Those Flowers" played by three instruments at the same time, and once in "When You Are Old" where two instruments on "Singer" played at the same time. Up". During those two times, Xiao Yao was still playing the guitar when he was playing the harmonica and couldn’t free his hands, so he played the harmonica on the harmonica stand and hung around his neck. The audience had never seen Xiao Yao on the stage. Playing the harmonica alone.

Although there is a video of Xiao Yao playing the harmonica to the wounded in the medical tent of the disaster area last year on the Internet, Xiao Yao, who was sitting at the door of the tent and playing the harmonica at that time, obviously couldn’t compare with the present on the stage. Compared with Xiao Yao, who only has a microphone, even if he doesn't have the iconic guitar on his back, Xiao Yao always wants the audience to fix his eyes firmly on him based on the shape of the harmonica alone.

  "She is a thirty-year-old woman who hasn't married yet. There are already a few ripples in her smiling face~"

  At the end of the prelude, Xiao Yao put down his right hand holding the harmonica, and when he loosened the palm of his left hand, he held the microphone handle again, and raised the microphone to his mouth to sing.

   "I'm going, what is this singing, a woman who is not married at the age of 30? Ripple? Wrinkles? Wrinkles at the age of 30? How do you feel that you are piercing the knife at the beginning?" Many viewers were a little stunned.

Because it’s a new song, not only the scene of Xiao Yao on the stage is played on the big screen, but also the lyrics of the song sung by Xiao Yao are simultaneously presented, even the line in Xiao Yao’s monologue just now, "As long as you can come back tomorrow Nothing was left out, so the audience knew exactly what Xiao Yao was singing.

   "Thirty years old~ The light and passion have been polished by the years. Is it true that one person's life is faster than two people?"

   Xiao Yao’s singing continued, and the eyes of many audience members began to change, especially those single young women who were in their thirties or even older than thirties.

   "I like the gentleness of a thirty-year-old woman. I know that the loneliness in the middle of the night is unbearable~"

   Xiao Yao sang gently, and the eyes and expressions of many older single women on the scene also changed with the lyrics. When the first sentence came out, many people gave out knowing smiles, but when the latter sentence came out, the smiles on those people's faces disappeared, and their eyes and expressions became dim.

  "You said that at work, you have been busy for too long, and it has been thirty years before you know it. Be picky, take turns, you choose again and again~"

  On the stage, Xiao Yao swayed slightly from side to side, while many of the female audience listening to the song bowed their heads thoughtfully.

After   this main song, the song came to the interlude part. Xiao Yao's left hand was released again, and he pinched the mesh cover of the microphone, and the harmonica in his right hand was raised to his mouth again, beginning to play the harmonica like the prelude. The harmonica melody in the interlude is more complicated than the prelude, and Xiao Yao also showed more skills in harmonica playing. Only at this time, except for some male audiences who stared slightly and raised their eyebrows, no female star or female audience thought in their hearts how handsome he played the harmonica.

  "She is a thirty-year-old woman who has not yet out of shape~ Can such a woman remain, a trace of purity back then?"

After the    intermission, Xiao Yao’s singing sounded again, and the heart-wrenching lyrics once again caught the eyes of many audiences. The audience under the stage was extremely quiet, and even the ordinary audience of star fans in the rear was completely silent. They all watched Xiao Yao's singing on the stage with complicated eyes.

  "But this world~ sometimes appearance decides everything. But no matter how splendid looks, you can’t hold back aging~"

   Xiao Yao’s singing continued, but the harmonica in the accompaniment rang again. It was another harmonica player in the band who started to play. After the singing is combined with the melodious harmonica sound, it clearly makes people feel low and graceful, but the ungirl audience touched their faces unconsciously, desperately wanting to say "Shut up, don't sing again" to Xiao Yao on the stage Up"!

  "I heard the lonely heels and your smile. You can, find someone to rely on!"

  The female audience on the scene was completely affected by this song, and asked themselves along with the lyrics sung by Xiao Yao: "Can you really find someone to rely on?"

   "So after the cold winter, before the hot summer, who will give you the same love as spring? After sunset, the most beautiful, time has slipped away."

  The structure of this song is a little bit different. There is no standard chorus. It's just that there are two more sentences after the verse of the second paragraph very smoothly. And it is these two sentences that make many viewers feel very heartbroken.

"Tick-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-tt-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick-tick In the last part of the humming of "Oh~", several harmony actors on the stage also joined in, and the live appeal of the whole song became even stronger.

  At this point in the song, many viewers have red eyes. Among them, not only female audiences in their 30s or above, but even young female audiences and male audiences can feel the emotions expressed in the song.

"At work, I have been busy for too long, I have not realized that it has been 30 years. Be picky, take turns, you choose again and again~ Then after the cold winter, before the hot summer, who will give you the same love in spring? After sunset, the most beautiful, Time has slipped away."

  After humming a paragraph, the end of the first paragraph of the song and the last two sentences of the second paragraph are combined to form the last paragraph of the song. When he sang "You Choose Over and Over", Xiao Yao deliberately emphasized his tone, which seemed to make people memorize the whole song again.

  "After sunset, the most beautiful one has slipped away~"

  With the gradual accompaniment sound, Xiao Yao sang the last lyrics with a slower rhythm, and deliberately omitted the word "time". It seems that the most beautiful thing that has slipped away is not just time.

  “Yeah yeah~oh~~~” The song did not end after the gradual accompaniment sang “Sleeped away”. The accompaniment was strengthened again, and Xiao Yao also began to hum again in the harmonica. However, the humming did not last too long. Xiao Yao took the piano again, and finally finished the whole song and his performance with his own harmonica.

   "Thank you everyone!" After the music stopped completely, Xiao Yao put down the harmonica and bowed to the audience.

  There was no cheering at the scene, but many of the audience, including the star guests in front, stood up from their seats and applauded Xiao Yao on the stage with red eyes. Although the lyrics sounded very heart-wrenching and made many people red their eyes, it also shows that this song has been sung in the hearts of these people and has given them a great touch. Therefore, among the audience with red eyes standing and applauding, it is also dominated by those single female stars and female audiences in their 30s.
