Chapter 274: Advance to the finals
When the singers and show agents entered the studio where the results were announced, Tao Ran had obviously been waiting for a long time. The usual seven sofas and seven high chairs www.biquge.info turned into ten sofas and ten chairs, and a small stage in the recording area was suddenly packed. However, with so many people together, it was obviously much more lively than usual.
After the singers and agents sat down, Tao Ran first expressed his gratitude to the singers. First of all, of course, a regular thank you to these singers for the wonderful performance they brought to the audience today. The second is to sigh at the coincidence of this issue, which turned a breakout competition into a special concert for works. Predictably, apart from the finals that are broadcast every season, this episode will almost certainly be the best-watched recorded episode of the show since its inception. Of course, Tao Ran also took this opportunity to emphasize once again that today's special performance of the work is the spontaneous behavior of the singers, not the deliberate arrangement of the program team.
Finally, Tao Ran explained to everyone the last accident. In the last season of the show, there was a case where the singer stopped halfway due to equipment failure and asked for a re-singing and re-recording. If you do it again this year, it will inevitably cause some controversy, and it will also be a great blow to the professionalism of the software and hardware that the show has always advertised. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yao took a cappella singing improvisedly, and then communicated with Liu Tong on the stage in a timely manner with gestures, and completed the whole performance without a microphone with the accompaniment of the band, making this accident a very wonderful and classic performance. Therefore, Tao Ran also specially thanked Xiao Yao again.
"Director Tao, I think Xiao Yao and all of us should thank your program team," Zhao Lixun said with a smile, "If it weren't for your microphone suddenly broken, Xiao Yao wouldn't have that opportunity to perform, and we wouldn't have been able to see Xiao Yao's shocking performance." Singing in the studio without a microphone, at least this is the first time I've seen it. ”
"Xiao Yao helped us get through this time, but what if we change to someone else next time? Anyway, this time it was always our equipment that had a problem, and it was our program team's work mistake. Tao Ran officially bowed to everyone and said, "So, in addition to thanking, I also want to formally apologize to everyone on behalf of the program team." In addition, we will also review this mistake carefully and try our best to ensure that this kind of accident will not happen again in the future. ”
This show is not over after this year, and I want to continue to do it next year, so in this kind of thing, I have to admit my mistakes, and I have to show my attitude. Tao Ran had already said this to the audience in the studio just now, and he didn't mind saying it again here. After all, in addition to finding an audience for this show, it will also have to invite singers next year. Although some of these people sitting now are no longer in the range of their starting singers next year, it is still possible to invite some of them to be kick singers or fill-in singers next year.
With the words of thanks and apologies out of the way, it's time to get down to business. Ten singers competed for four finals, which was very fierce, and Tao Ran had to deliberately set up some suspense when announcing the results to provoke the singers present. But no matter how Tao Ran plays suspense, this result will still be announced after all. Ten minutes later, the results of this breakout competition were finally revealed in Tao Ran's mouth.
The first place in this breakout competition fell to Xiao Yao without much suspense, the second place was won by Tian Wei, who appeared from the pentoe, the third place was won by the Korean singer Liu Youyuan, who appeared from the fourth, and the fourth place was won by Qin Xiaodong, who appeared from the fifth. Except for Hua Xiaolan, who appeared in the penultimate place, did not advance, the top four are basically ranked in reverse order of appearance, which also proves the importance of appearance ranking in this show from the side. Of course, in the eyes of many singers, as long as Xiao Yao had the accident of microphone failure when singing, he still completed the performance in the form of a cappella and no microphone, then no matter how many appearances he makes, the first appearance of this scene is estimated to be in his pocket.
"Congratulations to the four singers who advanced to the finals!" Tao Ran, who announced the rankings, continued, "Of course, we also want to thank the other six singers for their wonderful performances in this season's program, this program is so wonderful with Mr. Hong, Brother Qi, Xue Ying and everyone of you here!
"Thank you!" the ten singers clapped together.
"The final is live, and we still have two episodes that haven't aired, so the final is three weeks away. During these three weeks, the singers who advanced to the finals had to contact the first round of helpers and prepare two competition songs, so although these three weeks seemed a bit long, it was actually not very easy for the singers who advanced to the finals. We hope you prepare well and we look forward to your performances in the finals. Tao Ran finally announced, "That's the end of today's recording! Finally, thank you again!"
At the end of the recording, when everyone opened the door of the studio and left, they found that Hong Wei, Xiao Siqi and Liang Xueying, the three starting singers who had advanced in advance, were also waiting outside the door, obviously also concerned about the result of this breakthrough competition.
The performance of the singers is more reserved and restrained, but from the expressions of the agents behind them, it is easy to distinguish which singers have successfully advanced and which singers have failed to break through.
"What's the first?" Looking at Shen Man's expression, Xiao Siqi knew that Xiao Yao must have been promoted, so Xiao Siqi walked to Xiao Yao's side and asked directly about the ranking.
"First!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Well, it's as everyone expected!" Xiao Siqi nodded, then shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity!"
"It's a pity?" Xiao Yao looked at his father strangely.
"If today's song is sung in the second round of the finals, maybe the program team will really dare to break the routine and give you the title of King of Singers!" Xiao Siqi leaned closer to Xiao Yao's ear and covered his mouth and whispered.
Although everyone understands some of the conventional rules, it is not easy to say this kind of thing in public, Xiao Siqi is purely here to be an audience today, there is no microphone on his body, and this distance and volume will not be accepted by the microphone on Xiao Yao's collar.
"What are the father and son talking about?" Hong Wei pulled Xiao Siqi and walked to Xiao Yao's side and said, "I heard that you won the first place in this game?
"Thank you!" Xiao Yao hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.
"Isn't this a summer vacation on Bayi, I asked him if he wanted to go home with me tomorrow. Xiao Siqi smiled, "This kind of family matter, of course, the two of us can discuss it in a whisper!"
"Don't go back to Yanjing for the time being. Xiao Yao replied after Xiao Siqi's words, "I promised my classmates to accompany them to an event, so I have to stay in Shencheng for a while." ”
"I still have to go to the event during the preparation for the finals, and I am really busy. Hong Wei smiled, turned his head and looked at Xiao Siqi again, "Why are you in a hurry to let him go home as soon as he has a holiday? Your son has grown up, and his reputation is not younger than yours, don't keep thinking about tying your son to your side, delaying him to participate in business activities will affect his career development!"
"It's not about going to business, it's about having fun. Secretly go to an event to see it, and be an audience!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
Seeing that there was still a camera shooting in front of him, Xiao Yao didn't say too specifically. The best thing about the secrecy of this show is the identity of the singer, and now at this stage, the identity of the singer is no longer a secret, and the confidentiality has dropped a lot. Xiao Yao is afraid that if the people in the show leak the news to the Internet, some fans will go to the e-sports carnival to block themselves.
"Sister Hong, is this Bayi my son or your son?" Xiao Siqi said funny, "Besides, I just asked him if he would go home, and I didn't want to tie him up back to Yanjing." He has been in charge of his own affairs since he was a child, and I have never forced him at any time!"
"Yes, count me too much, don't get involved in your family affairs, I'll go!" Hong Wei glanced at Xiao Siqi, turned his head and walked in the direction of Qin Xiaodong again, "Xiaodong, congratulations on making it to the finals!"
Xiao Siqi, who knew Hong Wei's personality, didn't care too much about her performance, seeing that Xiao Yao took off the microphone on his body and handed it to Shen Man, he put his arm around Xiao Yao's shoulders and walked outside the TV station, and asked: "Since you want to stay in Shencheng for a while, then the preparation for the finals is also carried out in Shencheng, right?" Yin Xi has a recording studio and practice room there, and I don't worry about the place. Do you have a candidate to help the singers, do you need me to come forward to help you get in touch?"
"No need. Xiao Yao smiled, "I haven't decided what song to sing in the finals, so I don't know what kind of guest to look for now." I've been on the show for 10 episodes in a row, and I've just finished my final exams, so I've decided to relax and play it for a week, and then I'll think about the finals this time next week. When you decide what song you want to sing, you can go to the guest singers. ”
"Play for a week first, it's only been three weeks in total, your heart is really big!" Xiao Siqi smiled.
"For three weeks, I played for a week, and I prepared two songs for the remaining two weeks, with an average of one song a week. This is not the same as the previous ten episodes, there should be no problem. Xiao Yao said.
"Okay, then you can do it yourself. Xiao Siqi said, "Next week, the song to be sung in the finals has been decided, if you need me to come forward to find a guest singer, tell me, and I will help you invite." Although Xiao Yao has risen rapidly in the past two years, in terms of contacts in the music industry, Xiao Yao is still not as good as Xiao Siqi, who has debuted for more than 20 years.
"Don't worry, you're my father!I won't be polite to you when I need your help!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile.
"Okay," Xiao Siqi nodded, and continued, "There is one more question. You have a place to record and practice, but where do you live? It's summer vacation, so you don't plan to continue living in the school dormitory, right?"
"Huh?" Xiao Yao was stunned by Xiao Siqi's question, and then realized that this was really a problem.
Xu Liang and Qin Hao are not natives of Shencheng, they all come from the metropolis with good family backgrounds, even if they have to work for summer jobs, most of them will not stay in Shencheng. I can't be sure how long I want to live, but it's a common space for three people, and it's not easy to put a lot of things that you need for work in the summer to put in the dormitory.
The office in the design studio can be slept, but the place is okay for a temporary overnight stay, and if you live there every day, it is estimated that Yin Xi will come to trouble soon.
There is still an empty room where Fang and Pei Minyi live. But aside from the fact that the room was for storing his own musical instruments and manuscripts, it was not suitable to share it with two female assistants. If it gets out, especially to the reporters of the gossip media, it will definitely be a problem.
Looking at Xiao Yao's expression, Xiao Siqi knew that he hadn't considered this aspect of the problem, so he continued: "Dad definitely won't want to tie you to your side as Sister Hong said. In fact, I have also discussed with your mother, since you choose to study in Shenju, then the focus of your work and life in the next few years will definitely be in Shencheng. It's better to just buy a house in Shencheng, and next year you won't live on campus, and you will have your own place, and it will be more convenient to do anything. ”
"Don't you live in school?" Xiao Yao hesitated.
"I know you don't want to be too special, but at least for now, you're different from your classmates. Whether you admit it or not, this is a fact!" Xiao Siqi said, "Even if you are an ordinary college student, you don't live on campus now, and there are a lot of people who rent a house off campus, not to mention you? ”
"This, I'll think about it," Xiao Yao said, "Even if you don't live in school, you don't necessarily have to buy a house, you can rent a house, it's a big deal to let Minyi come forward to rent." Even if I buy it, I have the money in my hand. I really didn't think about this matter before, but now that you have reminded me, I will take care of it myself, so you don't have to worry about it!"
"Okay," Xiao Siqi nodded, "I'm just reminding you, and I'm sure you'll take care of it." ”
