"Thank you Brother Youyuan for your wonderful performance!" After Liu Youyuan, who appeared in the second place, walked off the stage after singing, Xiao Yao also returned to the stage again and began to continue the work of the host. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Before introducing the next competition song, Xiao Yao also specially praised it: "Nothing else, I think Brother You Yuan has made great progress in Chinese, what do you think?"

Liu Youyuan sang a Chinese song just now, and this is the second time he sings a Chinese song in this show, at least in terms of pronunciation, it is indeed much stronger than the last time he sang a Chinese song. This is the recording of the eighth game of this season of this show, which has lasted almost two months, and it is clear that Liu Youyuan has been learning Chinese continuously and hard during these two months. Xiao Yao could hear it, and pointed it out to the audience by the way.

"Yes!" shouted the audience as they applauded.

"Thank you!" Liu Youyuan, who had already walked to the middle of the passage at the front of the stage, stopped after listening to the translation of the agent Zhang Qiao next to him, turned around and bowed slightly to Xiao Yao on the stage with his hands folded and thanked him. He didn't have a microphone in his hand at this time, and there was some distance from Xiao Yao, and the noisy environment of the scene made him unsure whether Xiao Yao could hear him, and he didn't want to shout, so when he said it, he also deliberately exaggerated the lip shape of the two Chinese words "thank you". Because at this time, Xiao Yao was attracted by his stop and looked in his direction. Whether he hears it or not, he can see it.

"Next, I will introduce you to the next competition song," Xiao Yao also introduced the next competition song after seeing Liu Youyuan thank you and leave, "The name of this song is "When You Are Old", which is based on a poem of the same name written by the Irish poet William Butler Yeats. ”

"Wow~" Hearing the song adapted from the poetry of a great foreign poet, an exclamation sounded in the audience, and Xiao Yao smiled with satisfaction.

"Qin Xiaodong!"

"Qin Xiaodong!"

Someone in the audience shouted, and Xiao Yao's smile froze on his face.

In fact, it's no wonder that the audience reacted this way. Qin Xiaodong originally debuted as a campus singer, although he graduated from Mizuki University, which is partial to science and engineering, but his elegant temperament, elegant conversation, and the full literary and youthful atmosphere in the songs he created before also earned him the nickname of "music poet". And in his previous performances, not only did he have a semi-original work of rewriting a Korean song in Chinese, but he also brought an unpublished original new song like Xiao Yao in the last performance. Although Xiao Yao has also published three well-known modern poems, as well as a re-composed work for Song Ci's "Water Tune Song Head", his image is really changeable and jumpy, far less than the image of Qin Xiaodong who has maintained the image of a "music poet" for more than ten years, so when Xiao Yao talks about songs adapted from poetry, the audience's first reaction is Qin Xiaodong, not Xiao Yao.

"Huh, hehe~" Qin Xiaodong, who was watching the live broadcast in the room, was also stunned by the shouts of the audience, and then he reacted and looked at Xiao Yao's unhappy look and became happy.

"Stop!" Xiao Yao raised his hand with an unhappy face and said, "Although Brother Xiaodong has the nickname of "music poet", he is not the only singer who can write poetry, and he is not the only one who can adapt poetry into songs!"

"I know that there is a singer in this show who has also written poems, have you heard "Birds and Fish"? Have you heard "Seeing and Not Seeing"? Have you heard "If Your Talent Is Not Recognized"? Also, have you heard "Water Tune Song Head" sung by Gong Chen?" Xiao Yao threw a series of questions to the audience.

"Oh~" The audience reacted, and a cheer was mixed with some "heard" shouts.

"If he doesn't say it, I really haven't remembered that this little guy has also written a lot of excellent modern poems," Qin Xiaodong laughed and looked at Xiao Yao on TV, "Now that he says this, how do I feel that the nickname "music poet" is more suitable for him?"

"I've heard of "Water Tune Song Head", and the poems he said earlier were poems written by him?" In another room, Hong Wei also looked at Xiao Yao on TV and asked Wu Youdao, the agent next to him.

"Well," Wu You nodded and said, ""Birds and Fish" was written by him to his girlfriend, "Seeing and Not Seeing" and "If Talent is Not Recognized" were both taken out when he participated in the performance department art examination of Shenju last year, and they are both modern poems. These are all excellent poems that have been popular in literary circles for a while last year, and they have also been published in literary magazines. ”

No wonder he was able to write the lyrics of the ancient poems of the last "Dream Chasing Order", and he turned out to be a poet. Hong Wei shook his head and said, "What kind of demonic son did this old Xiao give birth to!"

On the stage of the studio, when Xiao Yao introduced his song, there were already staff members who came up to make preparations. There were only two staff members who came up, one of them carrying a chair in one hand, a microphone stand in the other, a guitar in one hand and a metal stand in the other. After Xiao Yao asked the audience a series of questions, one had already set up a chair and microphone stand in the center of the stage, and the other was standing aside with a guitar and waiting for Xiao Yao.

"Now let's enjoy the performance of the next singer. Xiao Yao spoke, turned around and walked to the dimly lit position in the center of the stage, sat down on the chair, installed the microphone in his hand on the microphone stand, and took the guitar and the metal rack handed by a staff member next to him.

The crew left the stage, and the lights in the middle of the upper part of the stage came on. Seeing Xiao Yao, the audience immediately burst into cheers and screams again.

At this time, Xiao Yao was the only one on the whole stage, I saw him sitting on a black chair, holding a very ordinary-looking primary color acoustic guitar in his hand, and a harmonica stand hanging around his neck, a harmonica was placed on the harmonica stand, just a little below his mouth. In front of him was a microphone stand that held the microphone up to his mouth, about the same height as his mouth.

Such a scene immediately reminded many people of the scene where Xiao Yao played three instruments and sang "Those Flowers" in the last blind audition of "The Voice" the year before last. Although Xiao Yao only had two instruments on his body this time, and there was one less tambourine under his feet than at that time, it was still very exciting to see the singer playing two instruments at the same time on this stage.

Some viewers with a better memory even remembered that when Xiao Yao performed in the blind audition of "The Voice" and played three instruments at the same time, it seemed to be the same refreshing dress of a white shirt and blue jeans as today, and then there were some nonsensical guesses: "Is this the standard configuration for Xiao Yao to sing folk songs?"

In Xiao Yao's mind, the three instruments played together in "The Voice" the year before last, and this time he just played two instruments at the same time, which was not a trick or a big move for him at all, but others obviously didn't think so. Except for Xiao Siqi, who was relatively calm, several singers in the lounge had their own reactions to Xiao Yao's preparation to play two instruments at the same time.

"Playing two instruments at the same time, what a cow!" Liang Xueying praised Xiao Yao as she looked at the TV.

"I knew that this kid had to get some tricks out of every game!" Hong Wei sighed.

"It seems to be less than the year before last on "The Voice", does he give us face?" Qin Xiaodong said with a smile.

"Does he want to play two instruments at the same time? can he do it?" Liu Youyuan in the hall looked back at his agent Zhang Qiao in surprise. Because there was also a Wei Shile who had completed the competition sitting next to him, Liu Youyuan asked this sentence in Chinese while making a comparison.

"Yes," Zhang Qiao nodded, also in Chinese, "when he participated in a competition the year before, he used to perform three instruments at the same time, in addition to the guitar and harmonica, and a tambourine, which was placed on the ground and struck with his feet." There's a video of his game on the Internet, and if you want to see it, I'll find it out and show it to you later. ”

"Really, I want to see it too, can we watch it together?" Wei Shile also said. Wei Shile was also surprised by Xiao Yao's image, and was also very interested in how Xiao Yao could play three instruments at the same time.

"Okay, no problem!" Zhang Qiao said, "Xiao Yao played three instruments at the same time was a very hot topic, and it was easy to find a video of the competition two years ago on the Internet." ”

On the stage, Xiao Yao, who was ready, signaled to the band conductor Liu Tong, and gently plucked the strings of the guitar in his hand, and with the sound of the guitar, the piano sound in the live band also sounded.

"When you're old, your hair is gray, and you're drowsy~ drowsy. When you are old and can't walk anymore, warm up by the fire and reminisce about your youth..."

After a simple but unusually moving prelude, Xiao Yao's clean and simple voice rang out. The gentle tone and soft expression easily quieted the audience and listened to Xiao Yao's singing.

This is a song adapted by Zhao Zhao in the previous life based on the poem of the Irish poet Yeats, but what makes people more impressive is the interpretation of Li Jian and Karen Mok in the Spring Festival Gala in the previous life "I Am a Singer". Xiao Yao felt that this song was not very suitable for female voices to sing, so he basically ignored the version sung by Mok Wenwei, and the song brought to this stage now is a synthesis of the two versions of the original author Zhao Zhao and Li Jian.

Although the "I Am a Singer" he participated in in his previous life and Xiao Yao's current "Singer" are very similar programs, Xiao Yao's current song appears as an original song, and he never planned to show his ability to "splic" songs in this show, and there is no world famous song "Rose Life" in this world, so in terms of arrangement, Xiao Yao is still based on Zhao Zhao's original version, and does not use "August Photo Studio" in the prelude like Li Jian, and adds a melody of "Rose Life" in the middle.

But Zhao Zhao's original version was written for his mother, and the whole song is a little decadent, and Li Jian is more in line with the meaning of the original poem and sings for lovers, so Xiao Yao, who has never been decadent, in addition to singing a little less decadent than Zhao Zhao, is more positive and sunny, and also retains two changes to the lyrics in Li Jian's version. Changed the opening phrase "napping by the fire" to "keeping warm by the fire", and the last line of "I wish this song was sung to you" was changed to "I'm going to sing this song from my heart for you." It's just that because there is no melody of "La Vie en Rose", the paragraph "I can't keep all the years" added by Li Jian was also given up by Xiao Yao.

Zhao Zhao's song is basically two repetitions of two different lengths of "When You Are Old", in the middle of the two repetitions, there is a musical interlude containing the sound of the harmonica, and this interlude has also become the dazzling moment of Xiao Yao's performance.

"Woo~"

After the first half of the song was sung, the song came to the interlude, Xiao Yao also lowered his head, put his mouth on the harmonica in front of him and played, and at the same time kept playing the guitar in his hand with the sound of drums and piano.

Seeing the expected scene, many viewers wanted to stand up and cheer and scream. But Xiao Yao's gentle and soothing song is a song that needs to be listened to quietly, and the audience who have been emotionally aroused by Xiao Yao's previous singing can't bear to make too loud and intense sounds to destroy the artistic conception of this song, so everyone just expressed their attitude towards Xiao Yao's performance with a round of applause that was not very warm.

"It's really great!" In the lounge, several other singers were also intoxicated listening to Xiao Yao's singing and playing, and even Wei Shile and Liu Youyuan, the two people who saw Xiao Yao playing two instruments at the same time for the first time, also suppressed the shock in their hearts, and did not express it with too strong words and body movements, destroying their emotions of listening to this song.

"When I'm old, I want to sing this song in my heart for you~"

In the original version of Zhao Zhao in the previous life, after the song was sung, it ended with an instrumental performance of almost half a minute. In this place, Xiao Yao retains the way that this ending with an instrumental performance, but adds an additional harmonica accompaniment than in the original soundtrack. So after singing the last sentence, he also bowed his head again and leaned on the harmonica, once again showing the audience a technique of playing both the harmonica and the guitar at the same time.

Seeing Xiao Yao once again show the skill of playing the two instruments at the same time, there was a burst of applause that was not too fierce again, and as Xiao Yao's performance continued, this applause did not disappear as in the interlude, but slowly turned into the audience shaking their bodies or heads while clapping their palms to make peace with Xiao Yao.

In the soft clapping of the audience, Xiao Yao's right hand swept over the guitar strings for the last time, and his mouth left the harmonica, while the sound of the piano and drum kit in the accompaniment gradually dissipated into the air along with the sound of the guitar and harmonica. Xiao Yao, who finished performing the whole song, raised his head to look at the audience for the first time, still with a gentle smile on his face.

This time, the response of the audience was obviously much more enthusiastic, and many viewers stood up with red eyes. But there were still no cheers and screams, and even the audience members who stood up with red eyes just applauded silently, just like those who sat in their seats.
