Chapter 263: Father and Son on the Same Stage

After Xiao Yao's whistle and the sound of the piano stopped, the spotlight above his head went out at the same time, and the main light above the stage also lit up, and the whole stage returned to brightness. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao took off the microphone on the microphone stand with one hand, held the saxophone in the other, walked to the side of the microphone stand and bowed to the audience.

There was a round of applause from the audience. Similar to the last time Xiao Yao performed "When You Are Old" on this stage, many audience members stood up from their seats, some of them with red eyes and tear stains in the corners of their eyes. Everyone was just applauding silently, and there was no cheering or screaming.

"Thank you, band teacher!" Xiao Yao thanked Liu Tong and other live band members on the side of the stage, handed over the saxophone in his hand to the staff who walked on the stage to take the microphone stand, turned around and pointed to the saxophonist who was standing on the stage behind him and had not yet left, "I want to thank Mr. Shuokai on the field, a great saxophonist!"

Although this saxophonist named "Shuo Kai" was found by the program team for Xiao Yao, and was not invited by Xiao Yao himself, since he appeared on the stage with him, Xiao Yao felt that it was better to thank him alone.

Turning around and looking at Shuo Kai, he also bowed to the audience, and after leaving the stage, Xiao Yao continued to introduce the competition song of the next singer: "The next singer to bring you a classic old song in the Chinese music world, "Iris" sung by Gao Wei, a senior in the music world. I just did the math, and when this song was most popular, I didn't seem to have been born yet. This should be a classic song that everyone remembers, but the singer who appeared next has made a relatively large adaptation to the arrangement of this song, and I believe it will definitely bring you a new feeling. Applause, please invite the next competing singer to appear!"

Under the leadership of Xiao Yao, the audience gave a round of applause to the next singer who appeared on the stage. The lights above the stage dimmed, and the back-to-back spotlights in the exit tunnel at the back of the stage also attracted the attention of the vast majority of the audience to the singers. At this time, not many people noticed that Xiao Yao, who had introduced the next singer, did not walk off the stage from the front side of the stage as usual, but quietly retreated to the side and back of the stage.

Xiao Siqi, who stepped out of the stage passage, walked directly to the front of the stage, smiled and bowed to greet the audience. At the same time, in the dim area in the middle of the stage, a group of staff members also ran up quickly and quickly started to prepare.

Seeing Xiao Siqi's appearance, the audience at the scene also greeted Xiao Siqi's appearance with a burst of applause and cheers.

Xiao Siqi straightened up and waved to the audience, then turned to look at the stage behind him. Unlike the audience, where he stood, he could see the preparation of the band behind him.

The lights around the outside of the live stage change color, reminding everyone that the preparations are ready and the show is about to begin. The audience at the scene quieted down, Xiao Siqi turned to face the audience, turned his head and nodded in the direction of the orchestra conductor Liu Tong, signaling that it was time to start.

"Woo~" Liu Tong, who was in charge of the live band conductor, waved his hands, and the flute sounded at the scene. The flute sound is soft and melodious, giving people a sense of tranquility and grace all at once.

"Ding~" Soon after the flute sounded, a more special sound sounded, joining the melodious flute.

"Knock, ding, ding~ding, ding~dingdong..."The new instrument is a percussion instrument, which is more rhythmic than the flute, and this sound is exquisite, not only sounds soft and warm, but also sounds a particularly ethereal feeling.

"The intro is so good, it feels much more flavorful than the original. I just don't know what kind of instrument the voice behind it is. Such a special prelude, especially the somewhat unfamiliar sound of the ethereal instrument, immediately grabbed the ears of the audience.

At the end of the prelude, Xiao Siqi also raised the microphone to his mouth and began to sing.

This is a very famous classic old song in this world, and the audience is familiar with it, but when Xiao Siqi sings it, it does have a different taste.

This song is the most popular typical lyrical song in the nineties of the last century, and it is also the style characteristic of Xiao Siqi's early debut. Xiao Siqi's adaptation this time, on the basis of retaining the lyrical characteristics of the original song, changed this song to be more "big", whether it is in the soundtrack or singing, it is very deep and far-reaching.

In fact, this is not the first time that Xiao Yao has presented this type of adaptation on stage. As early as the first episode of the program that Xiao Yao participated in, that is, the first round of the kicking competition, Xiao Siqi added the soundtrack of the ocarina to the arrangement of the song he performed, and also invited the ocarina master Cao Zhongyun to accompany him live. It's just that Xiao Siqi adapted a pop rock song that time, and the chorus part maintained the excitement of the original version of the song, which was not as thorough and incisive as this adaptation.

After the chorus of the first part is sung, there is an interlude in the middle of the song. The flute, which was similar to the melody of the introductory part, sounded again, and Xiao Siqi also put down the microphone raised to his mouth, turned and walked to the middle of the stage.

"Knock, ding~ding~ding~dingdong..."Not long after the flute sounded, the unusually ethereal sound of the instrument sounded again. And as Xiao Siqi gradually walked to the middle of the stage, the lights in the area where the musicians on the stage were located gradually changed from dim to bright!

As the lights came on above the middle of the stage, the audience and the singers watching the live broadcast in the lounge were able to see the musicians in that area. The most eye-catching thing is the musician sitting on a chair in the middle of the room, with his hands constantly tapping on an instrument resting on his legs.

"I'm going! Is that Xiao Yao?" The audience and the singers in the lounge suddenly widened their eyes.

Although the singer in the middle position lowered his head and tapped the instrument on his legs, judging from his clothes, it was clearly Xiao Yao, the host who had just finished the performance. Many audience members subconsciously looked to the front of the stage and found that when the first few singers were singing, the position where Xiao Yao was standing and watching was really empty. As a result, many viewers confirmed that the musician on stage was Xiao Yao.

It seemed to feel that Xiao Siqi walked to his side, Xiao Yao slowly raised his head while playing, and the camera installed on the rocker arm immediately advanced to give a close-up, and the singers watching the live broadcast in the lounge also clearly saw that the musician who was playing a strange instrument was indeed Xiao Yao.

"Wow~" The audience and other singers watching the live broadcast let out a burst of exclamations that lowered their voices.

Since Xiao Yao appeared in this show as a kicking singer, the competition between the Xiao family father and son has always been a big attraction. Although the two are competing with each other in the show, both the live audience and the TV audience are also looking forward to the father and son performing on the same stage.

According to the rules of the program, the regular season and the breakout competition are both solo singing, and guests cannot be invited to sing together, so unless one of the two is bored or shameless to run to each other's backing singer lineup to be a backing singer, if you want to see father and son sing together on the same stage, at least you can get the first round of the finals to help sing the singing. The audience is also looking forward to these two making it to the finals of this season, and then in the first round of the finals, you sing for me, and I sing for you, and there are two choruses, and that kind of scene is very interesting just thinking about it.

However, since Xiao Yao appeared in Liang Xueying's competition as a live electronic DJ, the audience also thought of another possible way for the father and son to perform on the same stage. Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao are not, and have never been harmony singers, it is indeed a bit boring and shameless to be a harmony singer for each other in the show, but both of them can play musical instruments, if they are musicians for each other in the show, and perform live accompaniment, it is not so unacceptable. Just like Xiao Yao being a live electronic music DJ for Liang Xueying, it is completely acceptable.

According to the identities of the two, most people guess that it is most likely Xiao Siqi who went to accompany Xiao Yao. Although Xiao Yao's reputation for demonism is outside, and his results in this show are no worse than Xiao Siqi's, but in terms of the ability to play musical instruments, most people still think that Xiao Siqi, the old man, is better than Xiao Yao's son. But what everyone didn't expect was that the first time the father and son performed on the same stage, it was Xiao Yao, the son, who came to help Lao Tzu Xiao Siqi do the live accompaniment.

"What is that thing that Xiao Yao knocked on his hand?" After the surprise of Xiao Yao's appearance as a stage musician, many people's attention focused on the strange instrument on Xiao Yao's lap.

"It's like two pots with the lid closed, it looks a bit like a flying saucer, is that the sound coming from this thing?" some viewers thought strangely.

Xiao Siqi asked Xiao Yao to be the musician who accompanied the scene, not for the boos of the father and son on the same stage, but because he felt that there was no more powerful choice than Xiao Yao among the people he knew, including himself. In terms of instrument performance, Xiao Siqi can be ashamed of himself, and he can't find a better musician's instrument than Xiao Yao, so it can only be a new musical instrument invented by Xiao Yao himself in this world - hand disc.

Xiao Yao and Ake Robinson's hand-made disc production company has not been established for a long time, and not many pieces of this instrument have been produced in total. Several singers and musicians who had ordered hand-discs from Xiao Yao backstage at the Donghai Satellite TV New Year's Eve party had not long been in the stage of getting the instruments, and they were still in the stage of learning and groping. Xiao Siqi is the second longest person who has owned this instrument, and even he doesn't dare to say that he has mastered it completely, and he can play it perfectly when he plays it in public, let alone others. Therefore, apart from Xiao Yao, Xiao Siqi really has no better choice.

Since he played once at this year's Donghai Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party, Xiao Yao recorded a few hand-disc performance videos and put them on the Internet, and he has not played them publicly on other occasions, and other people who have this instrument, including Xiao Siqi, are still in the learning stage, and they will not take it out for public performances, so this instrument has not really become popular. This is the second time Xiao Yao has publicly played the hand disc on a TV show, so it is normal for some people at the scene not to know this instrument.

Of course, the influence of Donghai Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party is not small, and there are people in the audience who have seen and remembered the instrument played by Xiao Yao, but they will not and will not have the opportunity to do popular science for people who don't know next to them. So whether he knew it or not, he could only temporarily suppress his surprise and curiosity about the instrument in Xiao Yao's hand, and focused his attention on the father and son on the stage.

Xiao Yao raised his head and looked at his father Xiao Siqi on the side, and Xiao Siqi also happened to look down at Xiao Yao who was playing. Both are smiling, and judging from the interaction of their eyes, the two are not like father and son, but more like a pair of like-minded friends in music. When the director of the scene put the close-up of the eyes of the two people captured by the camera on the big screen of the scene, the audience burst into warm applause.

At the end of the interlude, Xiao Yao's hands fluttering on the instrument also stopped, and Xiao Siqi also ended his interaction with Xiao Yao and sang the rest of the song. While singing, Xiao Siqi also walked to the front of the stage again, and the lights above the area where Xiao Yao was were dimmed again.

In the second half of the song, the ethereal voice of the hand disc will occasionally sound, with Xiao Siqi's singing, further bringing the feeling of emptiness and remoteness to the audience.

After the singing part, Xiao Siqi's performance was not over, and the ethereal and clear voice of the hand disc was still ringing at the scene. Xiao Siqi also turned around again and walked to the middle of the stage.

The lights above the middle of the stage are back on. Everyone was surprised to find that there was an extra chair next to Xiao Yao, and there was another strange instrument in the shape of a flying saucer that Xiao Yao was playing.

"Is it?" the audience thought excitedly.

Sure enough, I saw Xiao Siqi insert the microphone in his hand into a short-pole microphone stand in front of the chair, and sat on the chair with both hands holding the instrument. After Xiao Siqi sat down, he put the handpiece he was holding on his lap, and also stretched out his hands to tap on the handpiece and played.

The sound of two ethereal hand discs sounded at the scene, and the audience sounded even more special.

Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao were both playing the hand disc, and they were both smiling and turning their heads to look at each other, but the movements in their hands were different. Judging from the proficiency, fluency and frequency of percussion, it is obvious that Xiao Yao is the main of the two, and Xiao Siqi is only cooperating with Xiao Yao to perform auxiliary performances.

Despite this, the audience at the scene saw Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao, father and son, sitting side by side playing the same instrument, performing on the same stage with such a beautiful picture, and they also let out a burst of excited exclamations and applause.
