Chapter 352: A Special Program

"Seeing your smile, my heart will be warmer and stronger~"

"Strong~"

In the second sentence of Xiao Yao's solo, Liang Xueying still sang the "strong" at the end of the sentence, but unlike the previous sentence, Liang Xueying did not sing along this time, but sang at the same time with Xiao Yao, and sang a chorus.

"Because of you by my side, I believe that the tears, sometimes~ will also flow for happiness!"

"Because there is love, in the heart, there is sunshine in the night, and the whole ~ gray city is lit up~"

And when the song entered the chorus, not only the chorus of Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying in the front, but also the student choir in the back also joined in and sang in unison. The momentum and appeal of the whole song have also increased a lot in an instant.

After the chorus, there is an interlude in the song, and Xiao Yao has no scruples about picking up the electric guitar he is carrying in front of him, and comes with a short section of calm and cool electric guitar SOLO.

"When I met you, hope grew between us. Like the building, which is under construction. Someday, it will be a shoulder for us to lean on. ”

In the second main song of the song, the solo in the first half was replaced by Xiao Yao, who still played the guitar and sang by himself.

"A sad song, sung once to forget it. People who haven't cried don't know how to appreciate. Defects in life are sometimes a kind of strength~"

In the second half of the second main song, it was not Liang Xueying's solo, but Liang Xueying's lead singer, Xiao Yao, who was playing the guitar, responded softly and helped her sing accompaniment.

"Because of you, by my side..."

"Ah~"

After the second verse, the song enters the chorus section again. The chorus part of the song is the same, but the second chorus is different from the first chorus in the form of performance. The second chorus is still a chorus of Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying, and the choir behind also joined in again, but the choir behind did not sing the lyrics of the chorus, but sang for the chorus of the two in the form of humming.

"Ah~"

"Because of you, by my side..."

After the end of the second chorus, it was followed by another repeated chorus, this time, the two lead singers in front and the choir in the back changed again, and the choir sang, Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying hummed the form.

In the previous period, the choir was strictly an accompaniment to complement their singing. But after this exchange, the highlight is not the choir in the back, but still them, because their humming is not as regular as the backing singer in the previous choir, but there are various rising and transposing tones in it, which not only shows off the musical skills of their two professional singers, but also makes the singing of the back choir become a foil for their humming.

"La~lahh~"

After repeating the chorus twice in a row, the closing stage of the song was still a chorus melody, but this time it was replaced by the humming of everyone in the field, and under the humming of the choir, Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying showed more singing skills in the humming of the ending part.

Although it is a relatively simple song with a relatively simple melody and structure, and there are no particularly intense and shocking trebles in it, Xiao Yao has played a lot of tricks in terms of arrangement, soundtrack, and performance form. Compared with the previous inspirational public welfare songs, this song was originally not a public welfare song, and the popularity of this song was much stronger, coupled with Xiao Yao's special arrangements in arranging, soundtrack, and singing, it also made this song the most enjoyable and durable program in the whole party.

But in the performance process of Xiao Yao's song, the most attractive thing is not the special arrangement of Xiao Yao's song arrangement, soundtrack and singing, although most of the audience enjoyed listening to Xiao Yao's song very much, but their attention was attracted by the big screen on the scene.

For most of the first half of the party, the big screen and the performances on stage were basically separated. Whether it is a singing program or a recitation program, during the performance of the program, only a few lines of big words on the big screen of the scene show the theme of the party, and in the gap between the program and the program, the video is played on the big screen. In the process of Xiao Yao, Liang Xueying and the choir singing, the big screen at the scene did not display the subtitles of the theme of the party, but played many photos like a slideshow.

These photos are available in black and white and in color, and the subjects and contents of the photographs are a little mixed, but without exception, they are all easy to see as photos of the rescue scene in the disaster area. Most of them feature rescue crews and first responders, some of them are victims and rescued people, and some of them are simply taking photos of some of the collapsed houses or mountains in the disaster area.

So far, many videos have been shown on the big screen of the party, but it is the first time that the photos have been played. Although the subject matter and content of these photos seem to be mixed, each of the photos that appear can be related to the lyrics of the song being performed on stage. The lyrics sung by Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying happened to become the footnotes to these photos. The audience looked at the photos and listened to the two singers and choirs on stage, as if they had watched a documentary with a soundtrack, and were no less shocked than the emotional videos just now.

Last year, there was a very popular MV called "Song for No One", which was made of some real videos posted on the Internet with songs, which gave the audience a feeling of being a public welfare documentary, and the TV station intercepted the clip of the MV and played it on TV as a public service announcement. Last year's Spring Festival Gala also used the singer's live performance to match the video content in the MV on the big screen on the stage to move this MV to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. The format of the performance is very similar to that of then, except that the video has been replaced with a photograph.

The songwriter of that song is Xiao Yao, and the producer of that MV is also Xiao Yao, although the program of the Spring Festival Gala was not designed by Xiao Yao, but the MV that originally used pop songs with realistic videos was Xiao Yao's idea. The Spring Festival Gala program team just put the music part of the MV on the live stage and restored the MV. The song performed on the stage now is also Xiao Yao's original new song, so is this whole performance also from Xiao Yao's handwriting?

Whether it is "The Voice" or "Singer", the program team has revealed more than once that Xiao Yao's live performance is the overall stage effect designed by himself, and he obviously has this ability. Looking at this kind of public welfare documentary-style performance that feels in the same vein as "A Song for No One", many people tend to believe that this performance is also Xiao Yao's own creativity.

Why is it that in the presence of so many big-name senior singers at the scene, Xiao Yao, a young rookie star, can get the same solo performance opportunities as a national treasure singer? Many people feel that in addition to the fact that he has done a lot of things in the disaster area, this ability to design stage performances for himself should also be one of the important reasons.

As for the provenance of those photos, most people think that Xiao Yao should have collected them from the Internet or news media reports. The eight videos in the MV of "A Song Not for Anyone" were all found by Xiao Yao from the Internet, and now that the earthquake has just passed, there are a lot of related photos on the Internet and the media, and it will definitely be much easier for Xiao Yao to collect than to find a video when making that MV. But as the show progressed, everyone found that this did not seem to be the case.

Halfway through the performance of the song, the audience suddenly realized that none of the photos seemed to have been seen on the Internet or in news reports. Few people have seen all eight videos in that MV, but at least one or two of them have been impressed. In the same way, if these photos are collected from the Internet and media reports, then it is still possible that one or two have not seen them, after all, no one can have seen all the photos published on the Internet and the media, but more than half of the song, the audience does not see a familiar photo, which is a bit strange. You must know that these photos give people a strong sense of shock, and they are obviously the works taken by professional photographers, not just anyone who can take a mobile phone.

Thinking of the interview just now, Guo Xiaohua said that he was curious about what the photos taken by Xiao Yao looked like, Xiao Yao said that he had the opportunity to show everyone, and then Xiao Yao appeared on the big screen during the performance, so many photos of the rescue scene that everyone had never seen appeared, and many people naturally came up with a bold guess: "These photos won't all be taken by Xiao Yao himself, right?"

This thought made the audience's sense of surprise even greater.

Xiao Yao has already disclosed his identity as a photographer, but in addition to some sporadic album cover photos in China, several relatively large photography projects can be counted. Far away is the set of promotional photos taken for the national men's basketball team a few years ago, and the closest is the promotional photos taken for Tu Yiyuan, the star player of the "Ancient Poetry Conference", at the beginning of this year and the static movie called "Li Qingzhao", which also features Tu Yiyuan as the protagonist. As with the sporadic album cover shots, these are all studio shots.

In the eyes of the public, Xiao Yao may be regarded as a very powerful fashion photographer, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an international fashion photographer. But no matter how powerful he is, he is just a fashion photographer who is good at studio shooting. A fashion photographer is not the same as a photojournalist who reports facts. Many of the photos that are shown on the big screen can be used to participate in this year's Live Photojournalism Awards, which is not something that any fashion photographer who is used to shooting in the studio can do.

Xiao Yao will be a live photographer who can take so many stunning photos?

With the end of Xiao Yao, Liang Xueying and the choir behind, all the photos on the big screen at the scene were played. When all the music on the scene died down, the last picture on the big screen faded out, and a few lines of white words appeared on the dark screen.

"Because of you by my side, I believe that the tears sometimes flow for happiness! Because there is love in the heart, and there is sunshine in the dark night to light up the whole gray city!

--To all the rescuers in the earthquake disaster in Wuyou County. ”

This is the same sentence as the lyrics of the chorus, which not only indicates that Xiao Yao's song is written for all rescuers in rescue operations, but also seems to indicate that the design of the entire program is indeed written by Xiao Yao. So were those photos taken by Xiao Yao?

After the performance ended, Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying bowed to the audience and left the stage with the choir members behind them, but the two hosts who appeared later gave everyone the answer.

After Xiao Yao and the others left, the hosts who appeared on the stage were not Luo Bin and Guo Xiaohua, who had just interviewed Xiao Yao, but were replaced by the other two, Mo Lai and Sun Bo. Although the host has changed, what they said is still related to Xiao Yao.

"Thank you Xiao Yao, Liang Xueying and the students of the choir for their wonderful performances. After thanking all the performers on the stage, the host Sun Bo mentioned Xiao Yao separately, "I also thank Xiao Yao for showing us these photos he took at the rescue site here, which gave us a lot of touching and shock." ”

"I now know why Xiao Yao was able to become a contracted photographer and photojournalist for those two foreign media outlets at such a young age," Molai continued, "Thank you for recording so many touching moments with your camera." ”

"What? Those photos were really all taken by Xiao Yao himself?"

"Yes, no wonder Xiao Yao was able to become a contracted photographer and photojournalist for two foreign media. This guy is too wicked, isn't he?"

As soon as the words of the two hosts came out, the audience, including those big leaders, showed shocked expressions. The scene also resounded with the warmest applause since the beginning of the party.

After the applause given to Xiao Yao by the audience gradually fell, the two hosts did not continue to talk about Xiao Yao, but began to introduce the next program.

Xiao Yao's appearance was in the second half of the whole party, after his and Liang Xueying's performances, there were seven or eight programs behind, and there was no shortage of big-name stars. But whether it is a choral show with big-name stars or a solo performance by a national treasure-level old artist, it seems that Xiao Yao's show is not as attractive and moving.

This CCTV disaster relief party lasted nearly four hours, and the results were also very good. During the party, the hotlines for accepting donations announced by the host of the party were almost non-stop. According to statistics, the party raised more than 1.73 billion yuan, which also set a new record for the amount of funds raised by various disaster relief galas in recent days.
