Chapter 217: First and Seventh
"Don't pay, this outfit is given to you. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" Xiao Yao took out a small plastic box from his body and handed it to Liang Xueying, "This is the controller of the lighting system of the suit of clothes on your body, you put it away." ā
"This suit shouldn't be cheap, right?" Hong Wei smiled, "Xiao Yao, you are really generous!"
"Isn't this appropriate?" Liang Xueying took the controller handed over by Xiao Yao and said, "You have already helped me a lot, how can I ask you for this set of clothes for nothing? This dress is much more expensive than a guitar no matter how you look at it! Of course, a guitar like your dragon qin is not counted! I mean it is much more expensive than an ordinary guitar." ā
"I've helped others prepare costumes before, even if they weren't designed by myself and used the finished styles of other brands, they were deliberately modified according to the other party's body data, and all of them can be regarded as tailor-made. Xiao Yao said to Liang Xueying, "Since these costumes are customized according to other people's figures, it is useless for me to keep them myself, so my habit is to give the performance clothes to the other party after the performance." Regardless of whether the clothes are expensive or not, I give them away, and I never confiscate the money, this is my rule!"
"Bayi does have such a rule!" Xiao Siqi also opened his mouth to help, "Last year, on that electronic music program, he customized performance costumes for the thirteen girls of the "Green Apple Girl" group, and then he also gave them the clothes, without charging them or their company a penny. If you're really embarrassed, you owe him a favor, and when he needs your help in the future, you can help him back. ā
"He helped me choose songs, arrange music, and design stage effects, even if I don't count this outfit, I already owe him a big favor..."Liang Xueying hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, anyway, don't worry about the debt, then remember it, and I will have the opportunity to slowly repay your favor in the future." Since both their father and son have made it clear that they don't want money, if they insist on paying, it will seem raw, and it is easy to give people a sense of wanting to draw a line with each other.
Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, then turned to Cai Ruoqi and said, "Sister Ruki, I am not a professional fashion designer, and my main job is not to design clothes for people. I basically only design costumes, and the styles of these costumes are not necessarily original, but mainly designed to match the overall stage performance effect of my design, which is part of the overall stage design. Designing clothes individually, that's the job of a professional fashion designer. ā
"That's good," Cai Ruoqi said with a smile, "Then I'll ask you to be the designer of my next performance, and the song selection, arrangement, stage design, and costume design will all be handed over to you, how about it?"
"How is it? Of course it's not good! Brother is not Lei Feng!" Xiao Yao complained in his heart, but he still said with a smile on his face, "This time I helped Sister Xue Ying because I won the first place in the last issue, this issue is relatively safe, and my performance in this issue is relatively simple, and I almost don't need any time to prepare, so I have time to help Sister Xue Ying design this performance." But the next one is a kicking tournament, and it may be eliminated in a single game, and my next performance will take a long time to prepare, so I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't have time to help you prepare the design of the next performance. ā
"It's okay, it's okay!" Cai Ruoqi waved her hand again and again with some embarrassment, "We all have competition tasks, and of course our own competition repertoire is more important." In the future, if there is a chance in the future, we will cooperate again!"
Regarding Xiao Yao's obvious refusal, Cai Ruoqi was not annoyed, but felt that she was a little impulsive and abrupt. After all, it is a direct competitor in the show, Xiao Yao helped Liang Xueying this time because he won the first place in the last issue, and he was not afraid of being eliminated in this issue, but there is no reason to help himself as a competitor in the next issue.
"Your performance in this issue is not only relatively simple, it's obviously too simple!" As if to resolve Cai Ruoqi's embarrassment, Hong Wei opened his mouth and said to Xiao Yao, "Did you spend all your time helping Xue Ying design stage effects, and didn't have time to design your own, so your performance is so simple?"
"No, I just think that's how this song should be performed. Xiao Yao said, "A person with a guitar, simple, just like the love I sang in the song, simple and plain, but very warm and sweet." ā
"I think it's very good," Liang Xueying also said, "the music and lyrics are very good, the singing is also very good, the scene is very warm, and it is very touching to listen to." ā
"But not everyone in the audience can understand all the lyrics of this song for the first time when you hear it in the United States. Xiao Siqi said, "Singing new songs in this show is a little bit of a loss, but at least Bayi is singing a song written by himself, which is a bit of compensation, but I didn't expect him to sing a new English song here! Among the 500 audience judges, at least most of the audience members in the older age group didn't understand what he was singing." His results today are estimated to be a little ugly. ā
"There are also people in this show who have sung French songs and Russian songs, and not many people in the audience can understand them, and I don't think their grades are very bad. Xiao Yao smiled at Xiao Siqi. In my memory, this seems to be the first time I have heard my father express his disapproval of his grades.
"That's different!" Xiao Siqi said to Xiao Yao with a stiff face, "People are either singing the kind of world-famous songs, and everyone doesn't need to distinguish the meaning of the lyrics on the spot to know what the singer is singing, or the song is difficult, and there is no need to understand the lyrics, the audience is shocked enough just by listening to the singer's voice and singing skills." I don't deny that you have a very good song and you sing very well, but what song are you singing today? A typical American ballad! Narrative accounts for a large proportion of folk songs, and if you don't listen to the lyrics, the audience won't know what story you're telling and how to resonate with you? You won't understand these things, right?"
"Wow, Lao Xiao, you look like Lao Tzu the most today!" Hong Wei said with a thumbs up.
"I know," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "but I don't want to sing Chinese songs all the time, and I also want to sing English songs occasionally." I think I have the foundation of the last issue, I'm still relatively safe, even if the results of this issue are worse, I shouldn't be eliminated, it's a good opportunity to sing English songs. ā
"Do you want to sing English songs, can't you sing the kind of classic English old songs that others know?" Qin Xiaodong said curiously, "Don't say anything else, Xue Ying among us has sent English songs, she sings your songs, you sing her songs, how good is it? You can change your own song to be suitable for her to sing, can't you adapt her song and change it to be suitable for yourself?"
"In fact, before I agreed to participate in this show, I asked Director Tao to sing his own songs all the time in the show, Director Tao said that the show should show the comprehensiveness of the singer, and also minimize the superimposed impact of the popularity of the song itself on the original singer, so I promised Director Tao to sing his own original new songs in every issue, and ensure that it is not a type of song. Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "Although I regret it a little now, I still have to count what I say!"
"Oh, I'll go! You kid has been restricting himself from competing with us, I thought you just had a few original new songs that you wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to release. Hong Wei shouted, "You mean that as long as you are still in this show, then every episode will definitely be a new song that we haven't heard? How many new songs do you have on hand now that haven't been released? There are only about ten episodes left in this show in total, if you have enough songs in your hand, you can see if there are any songs suitable for Sister Hong, how about I invite you to sing? Anyway, Sister Hong, I haven't released a single for a long time." ā
"I want it too!" Liang Xueying and Cai Ruoqi said in unison.
"No," Xiao Yao shook his head, "I don't know how many episodes I can stay in this show, and I haven't written many songs in advance, and the songs in these few shows are all written by me in the week before the competition." And I also came according to the specific situation of the competition, for example, I won the first place in the last issue, and I felt that it was safer, so I wrote this English ballad that may not get too good results but can satisfy my personal desire to perform, if I had other songs at hand, I wouldn't use this one. ā
"Write every week?" Qin Xiaodong said in disbelief, "Are you sure you can write it every week?"
"If he wants to write, he can definitely write. Xiao Siqi smiled, "The problem is that this guy is too lazy and has too little time to write songs." I have a bunch of invitations to write songs for him on the desk of my office now, and last year, a Korean entertainment company sent invitations to him to write Korean songs, and those invitations are still on the desk of my office for more than a year. But in March, when his brand was launched, he was not satisfied with the planning company's press conference plan, so he rewrote the plan and wrote four songs at once to make background music at the press conference. If he doesn't participate in any shows or experience something, he won't easily take out the songs. ā
"So you recommended me to the program team to participate in "Singer"?" Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Siqi with a smile and said, "I made a commitment to sing original new songs with the program team, which is exactly what you want, right?"
"You say that I'm a father, and in order to get my son to write songs, I have to go to great lengths to get him into the show to fight with myself, do you think I'm easy?" Xiao Siqi said with a deliberately depressed face.
"Come on, knowing that your son is amazing, don't bother here!" Hong Wei glared at Xiao Siqi and said.
"The voting results are out, Director Tao invites all the singers and agents to go to the studio!" The staff member who came to inform the singers and agents to announce the results of the audience's voting pushed open the door and came in to inform everyone.
In the studio, the singers and agents sat in their seats, and the chief director Tao Ran came to everyone again with the mobile phone with the voting results.
"Thank you all for your wonderful performances, applause to everyone first!" Tao Ran said the opening remarks, and first applauded several singers.
"Today is the second game of the second round, which is what we call the knockout round. So today is the moment to reveal a singer who has been eliminated. Tao Ran said solemnly. made several singers and agents present nervous and serious.
"The singers eliminated this time are based on the results of the last game and this one. In other words, the higher the position in either of these two games, the less likely it is to be eliminated. Tao Ran said, "Everyone already knows the results of the last game, and today's one, we will start with relatively safe singers." ā
"I decided to announce the first place in this show to everyone first," Tao Ran relaxed some of his facial expressions, smiled and looked at the seven singers in front of him and asked, "Does anyone want to guess?"
"Sister Xue Ying!" Xiao Yao immediately raised his hand and shouted.
"Why?" Tao Ran looked at Xiao Yao and said.
"The last time I said I was number one, everyone said I was not modest. I'm embarrassed to say that I'm sorry to say myself, so I'll choose her!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Sister Xue Ying sings my songs, and I helped her make arrangements, so it has something to do with me!"
"Haha! This reason is so powerful!" Tao Ran and the other singers and agents all laughed.
"And your prediction ability is also very strong! You guessed it right!" Tao Ran continued, "Congratulations to Liang Xueying, who won the first place in the audience vote of this game!"
"Wow!" Liang Xueying and the agent behind her jumped up from their seats at the same time!
Several other singers also stood up and gave their applause in admiration.
"Thank you, thank you!" Liang Xueying first bowed to everyone excitedly, and then stepped forward and hugged several singers in turn.
Since the seating order of several singers and agents is arranged in the order of appearance, Liang Xueying, who is sitting next to her, deliberately starts with Liu Youyuan, who is sitting next to the other side and the farthest away, and slowly hugs and walks back all the way, that is, Xiao Yao, who appeared on the second stage and sat next to her, to the end.
When it was Xiao Yao's turn, Liang Xueying, who was already reddened in her eyes, hugged Xiao Yao and couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek!
"Wow~" Such a lively scene immediately attracted a commotion from everyone present.
"Okay, this is what I deserve!" Xiao Yao was slightly stunned, and when he saw Liang Xueying blushing a little and bowed her head and sat back in her seat, she said to the others with a proud face, "You who are envious, jealous and hateful, if you have the ability to make up a song for Sister Xueying and win the first, you can also enjoy the goddess's gratitude." ā
Xiao Yao seems to be showing off her stinky fart, but these words are also a reminder to everyone that Liang Xueying's kiss is just to thank herself for choosing songs and arranging the stage and costumes for her performance that helped her get the first place, suggesting that everyone should have a limit to ridicule and joke, not too much. Everyone present knew that Xiao Yao had a girlfriend, so after such a coaxing, no one said anything ridiculous, and they all sat back in their seats.
"Okay, the first place in this game has been announced, and everyone wants to know whose ranking is next?" Tao Ran also understood, did not mention Liang Xueying's performance, and continued to ask everyone.
"Now that the number one in this game has been revealed, and it is not the same person as the first person in the game, then I would like to hear what the number one in the game is this time. This time it was Xiao Siqi who spoke.
"Okay, I said that the ranking will be announced from the relatively safe singers," Tao Ran nodded, "The first place in the last game is also relatively safe, so I will announce the ranking of the singer who ranked first in the last game, that is, Xiao Yao's ranking." ā
Tao Ran looked at the mobile phone in his hand and said, "His ranking result in this game is very surprising, as surprising as Liang Xueying! Xiao Yao's audience voting ranking in this game is, seventh!"
"What? The two of them have been transferred one by one?!" everyone at the scene showed surprised expressions.
