Chapter 858: Stay and Record?

The second song that Xiao Yao wants to perform also has a vocal part, but this song has no cooperative singing, it was sung by Xiao Yao himself, so when the audience laughed and booed Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting, the staff of the program team sent a microphone stand and placed it next to the DJ console.

Xiao Yao put the microphone in his hand on the stand, looked up at the sound of the scene, and found that there was no narration.

Suddenly remembering that the program team didn't know what the name of their second song was, Xiao Yao leaned in front of the microphone and said: "There is no host for this show, so I'll briefly introduce it myself." The next piece to show you is called "Unity"! Well, that's it!"

"It's all English names!" Shang Jie in the observation room said, "I suddenly realized that if he didn't say it, I wouldn't know the name of the song behind him!"

During the afternoon rehearsal, Xiao Yao didn't say the name of the new piece at all. Several of their star managers only communicated with Xiao Yao before the rehearsal, and then when Xiao Yao finished the second song, it was time for dinner, and everyone separated, and they didn't have time to ask.

"That's it? I thought he was going to tell the audience that he just made a piece in the afternoon!" Wei Dazhang laughed, "Does he disdain to say that this is what I made in the afternoon? This guy is so cool!"

"It's pretty cool!" Xin Yi nodded.

After Xiao Yao on the stage finished his introduction, he signaled to the lighting engineer on the scene, and the lights on the main stage dimmed, and the audience below also quieted down.

Xiao Yao put on a mask, picked up the two drumsticks on the stage, and struck them on the electric music drum pad on the side. After a burst of electronic drumbeats, Xiao Yao put down the drumsticks and operated on the synthesizer and MIDI keyboard in front of him, and a melody of the electronic keyboard and piano came out of the live speakers.

As soon as the melody sounded, the audience below and the contestants in the waiting area cheered excitedly.

"That's good!" many people shouted.

"It's another very brainwashing melody!" Wei Dazhang in the observation room smiled.

The song "Unity" played by Xiao Yao is also the work of the music producer TheFatRat in the previous life, and it is widely circulated in China and even the whole world, almost no less than the previous "Monody". When Xiao Yao wanted to prepare an extra piece of music during the afternoon rehearsal, he thought of this work, which also came from TheFatRat.

These two pieces were able to be very popular in previous lives because the melodies of the songs were both beautiful and brainwashing. At this time, Xiao Yao performed on the stage of this electronic music program, and the effect was naturally very good. Many spectators and contestants listened to Xiao Yao's performance, and they unconsciously shook along with it.

However, although the melody of this piece is good, the electronic music elements are very sufficient, and the audience is very happy to listen to it, there are also some viewers who find a more embarrassing point. That is, Sun Tingting, who was standing next to Xiao Yao, seemed to have been carrying the violin and shaking her body slightly to the rhythm of the music, as if she had done nothing.

Xiao Yao pulled Sun Tingting up, naturally he wouldn't let her just stand and do nothing. After about two minutes of the piece, after a violent drum beat, all the electronic parts of the melody stopped. Sun Tingting rested the violin on her shoulder and began to play. Xiao Yao pulled down the mask on his face, leaned in front of the microphone, and sang with Sun Tingting's violin string accompaniment while snapping his fingers:

“Stand Together Like We're Rocks In A Wall,Growing Stronger Everyday Even More. Stand Together In The Eye Of The Storm,And Show The Whole World Who We ~”

“Keep On Walking To The Sound Of The Drums,Feel The Fire Run Through Our Lungs.Find Our Treasure In The Light Of The Sun, And Show The Whole World Who We ~”

The song has two different versions of the lyrics and the singer in the previous life. Because this show has the title of Huaxia's first original electronic music program, and several celebrity managers are very enthusiastic, and seem to be quite concerned about the future development of Huaxia's electronic music, Xiao Yao chose this longer, but more in line with the program's theme version of the lyrics.

After Xiao Yao's singing came out, the audience on the main stage was only excited by Xiao Yao's singing, Sun Tingting's violin and the cooperation between the two, and they didn't care too much about what Xiao Yao was singing. On the other side of the waiting area, the players who watched the performance on the main stage through the big screen were much more excited.

Music creators who perform well in this program will be recommended by the program team to perform at the world's largest electronic music festival. Many of these contestants came to participate in this show with the desire to show themselves on the world's top electronic music stage and show Huaxia electronic music.

Electronic music is also a foreign product, generally making electronic music, are more closely following the international trend, relatively speaking, the people who play electronic music are also a group of people with a relatively high average level of English, so Xiao Yao sang these two English lyrics, many of the contestants understood it at the first time.

"Stand together like stones in the wall, grow stronger every day, stand together in the eye of the storm, and let the world know who we are. Keep moving to the beat of the drums, feel the flames that pass through your lungs, find our treasures in the sunshine, and let the world know who we are!"

Such two lyrics are undoubtedly very in line with the mentality of these contestants who came to participate in this show, so when they heard Xiao Yao's singing without electronic accompaniment, the excitement shown by these contestants was no less than when they heard the brainwashing electronic melody earlier.

After Xiao Yao's singing ended, Sun Tingting's violin also stopped playing, and then Xiao Yao was busy on the console again, and the song returned to the electronic melody again.

Although the melody of electronic music reappeared in the song, in the waiting area of the players, many players still stayed in the singing of Xiao Yao just now.

"I remember that among all the electronic music works published by Xiao Yao under the YS signature, except for the super long song "Odysseus under the Old Tree", the other works seem to have passages sung in collaboration with singers. It seems that the addition of vocals to electronic music works is indeed a great way to sublimate the theme of the work!" one of the contestants sighed quietly.

"Adding vocal vocals to electronic music, Xiao Yao is not the first to play like this, but at least among Chinese musicians, Xiao Yao has the highest proportion of playing like this, and except for the current song, he seems to be working with female singers. Someone next to him chimed in, "You see that many people are coming with vocal vocals today, and most of them are girls, so it's hard to say whether it's influenced by Xiao Yao." ”

"Yes," said the man who spoke earlier, "In fact, Xiao Yao has a great influence on Huaxia's electronic music circle, Huaxia's electronic music producers. I think Xiao Yao should sit in the observation room and be the manager of this show. If he's the manager, I'll definitely join his team!"

"Who doesn't want to join his team?" said the person next to him with a smile, "Compared to popularity, word of mouth, and talent to his works, Xiao Yao is not worse than others, but there are always aspects that are better than others." And he has so many crossovers, whether in the film and television industry or the fashion circle, he is also very powerful. Becoming a member of his team and getting acquainted with him will definitely have a lot of benefits in addition to music. If he is really one of the managers, how can the other three or two compete with him?"

"I heard that the program team originally planned to invite him to be the manager, but he didn't agree, only agreed to be the opening guest. Maybe it's because he has a lot of crossovers, so the program team can't invite him!"

"So, it seems to be the same!" said a player in front of him, "You said that someone like him, although he must be considered a powerful faction, but the traffic is not small." A traffic star like him doesn't have a resident variety show, which is very rare, maybe that's the reason. ”

Xiao Yao on the main stage didn't know that some of the contestants in the waiting area were talking about him, and even discussed the topic of him becoming a star manager and his lack of variety show masterpieces.

After the performance of this piece, Xiao Yao took off the microphone with one hand, took Sun Tingting's hand with the other, and the two walked to the front of the stage together, bowing to the audience amid the cheers of the audience.

In the applause and cheers of the audience, the scene once again sounded the shouts of "encore" and "one more song".

"Today is a recording program, not my concert or concert, don't be too greedy!" Xiao Yao raised the microphone in one hand and shook his index finger in the other, smiling at the audience who shouted energetically.

"Ha~" Some viewers laughed.

"I'm not a pure musician, let alone a pure electronic music producer, because I'm still a practitioner in the film and television industry. Xiao Yao looked up in the direction of the main camera lens, and continued with a smile, "At present, the movie "Donkey Gets Water" directed by me and co-starring Miss Sun Tingting is being released..."

The biggest reason why Xiao Yao came to participate in this show was for the promotion of the movie. If there is an opportunity to advertise directly, he will never let it go easily.

"Wow~" The audience booed.

"The sentence just now was for netizens and audiences, but in fact, the movie was released at the end of this month, and it hasn't been released yet!" Xiao Yao lowered his head and explained to the audience, before he raised his head again and said, "If you want to continue to watch me and Miss Sun Tingting cooperate, please go to the cinema to watch a movie!"

"Wow~" The audience booed a lot louder.

"This guy is here to promote the movie!" Wei Dazhang in the observation room said with a smile.

"As for the stage of this electronic music program, it is still left to those producers and contestants who purely do electronic music!" Xiao Yao waved his finger and pointed to the direction of the waiting area of the contestants behind him, "They are the main force and future of our Huaxia electronic music development, and they are the protagonists of this show!"

"Oh~" The audience cheered and applauded.

"I know that the main force and the future are looking at this now!" Xiao Yao waved his hand at the main camera lens again, "In any competition, there is only one champion, I don't wish you all good results, that's impossible! I wish you all excellent electronic music works here, so that the audience and electronic music lovers across the country can remember you." I wish you all the best in developing and producing more good works after participating in this show, and I also wish our electronic music market in China is getting better and better!"

"Wow~" The players who watched the big screen in the waiting area all cheered and applauded.

After saying this, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting bowed to the audience again, and then walked hand in hand to the backstage passage at the back of the stage and left the stage.

After Xiao Yao's opening performance, the next step was the recording of the breakout match. According to the original plan, the recording behind this has nothing to do with Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao was just a guest of the opening performance, and after the opening performance, the task of this trip was completed.

Xiao Yao's task was completed, but when they went on stage to perform, they were all dressed in black clothes and hoods and masked, which was too eye-catching outside, and they had to go back to the lounge to change their clothes before leaving.

As soon as Xiao Yao returned to his lounge, before he could enter the locker room to change clothes, there was a knock on the door of the lounge, and then Fang Kun, the chief director of the show, pushed the door in.

"Director Fang?" Xiao Yao said a little strangely, "Now that the show is still being recorded, shouldn't you be watching at the scene?

"Your performance just now was fantastic, let me come over and say thank you!" Fang Kun said with a smile.

"I've been working with Haiyan for so long, you don't have to be so polite!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I'll go back after changing my clothes, you won't send me away in person, right?" It's not good to delay the recording of the program or have a problem with the recording of the program!"

"I'm not here to see you off, I want to discuss with you, can I ask you to stay and continue recording?" Fang Kun said.

"Stay and record?" Xiao Yao wondered, "What are you recording?"

"We want to ask you to be a special guest manager in the show!" Fang Kun said, "I know that your schedule is limited and you can't participate in the recording of the later shows, so you didn't agree to be the host, but you shouldn't have any other itinerary tonight, right? ”

"What exactly is the special manager?" Xiao Yao asked.

"The specific work is that in the selection process of the first stage of the breakout competition, when each producer contestant performs in front of the selected star manager alone, you, the specially invited manager, sit next to the star manager of the selection team to watch the performance together, and then provide some advice to the manager of the selection. Fang Kun said.

The breakout competition is divided into two phases, the first stage in which each performer performs individually in front of the selected star manager, and the second stage in which the contestants who are not selected are re-selected. The first stage is that each contestant has to perform once, there are a large number of people, one program is not enough, it is expected to arrange two episodes of the program to be broadcast, but when recording, it is recorded at one time tonight, and another time will be arranged for recording until the second stage of re-selection.

"Does that mean let me give them ideas on the side, suggesting that they choose or not?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Yes!" Fang Kun nodded, "Just now I have asked the staff in the observation room to communicate with the three managers, they have no opinion, they all agreed! Also, now the contestants are still choosing the manager, and the solo performance has not yet started! We only need to add a chair for you on the main stage, if you agree, we have time to set it up now." ”

According to the program process, before each producer contestant walks on the stage alone to perform in front of their favorite manager, these producers must first choose their favorite manager, that is, the team they want to join. This selection process is not to directly ask those producers and contestants to report the names of the celebrity managers, but to let the celebrity managers first distinguish a few keywords, and let those producers and contestants choose according to the keywords.

What is going on at the recording venue right now is for the three celebrity managers to announce the keywords to the producers and contestants, so there is still some time here.

"This~" Xiao Yao groaned.

To be honest, Xiao Yao didn't want to continue recording, but the three of them agreed, and it wasn't a particularly hard job to sit next to the play and come up with ideas casually, if you just said that you didn't want to play, not only was it not very friendly to the program team and Haiyan Video, but it didn't seem to look good on the face of the three, so Xiao Yao wanted to find a passable-sounding reason for refusal.

"Bayi, aren't you okay?" Just as Xiao Yao was thinking of a suitable reason for refusal, Sun Tingting pushed the door and walked in.

Although the two are public couples, and they are even engaged, after all, men and women are different, they have to change their clothes before and after the performance, and the program team still arranged two different lounges for them. After the two returned to the backstage, they separated, and each went back to their lounge to change clothes, Sun Tingting seemed to have changed her clothes and came over to ask Xiao Yao to leave together.

"Ah, Director Fang is also there!" Sun Tingting pushed the door in as she spoke, so she found Fang Kun after entering the door, and immediately bowed slightly to Fang Kun and said, "Director Fang is good!"

"Hello Teacher Sun!" Fang Kun replied with a smile.

"Director Fang is looking for you something?" Sun Tingting asked Xiao Yaodao, "Why don't I avoid it and come back later, or go to my lounge and call me when you leave?"

"No, no!" Fang Kun hurriedly waved his hand, turned his head to Xiao Yao and said, "Or you two can be special guest managers together!

Finding Xiao Yao as a special guest manager was an idea that Fang Kun came up with temporarily after listening to the report of the staff in the waiting area of the players.

Fang Kun came up with this idea, on the one hand, to satisfy the desire of those players to see Xiao Yao as the manager. Even if you can't enter Xiao Yao's team, Xiao Yao helps the manager choose people to come up with ideas, and there may be some evaluations of their music and performances, which is also a benefit for those players. On the other hand, he naturally likes Xiao Yao's popularity and topicality. The longer he is in the show, the more shots he appears, the more beneficial it will naturally be to the show's ratings, clicks, and even topicality. Since I can't ask him to be a resident guest, it's good to be a two-phase flying guest.

If you consider it from the second aspect alone, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting as special guest managers together may have a better effect than Xiao Yao as a special guest manager alone. So when he saw Sun Tingting, Fang Kun immediately changed his mind again.

"What kind of special manager? What are you talking about?" Sun Tingting said puzzled.

"That's the case..."Fang Kun told Sun Tingting what he had just said to Xiao Yao, and finally said, "So I want to ask the two of you to be the special guest hosts of this show together, and stay and continue to record the content of the show later tonight." ”
