Chapter 579: Baby
"I want to listen to the theme song of the animated movie just now, "Immortals"!" In the studio, Kong Lei, who was in the seat of the new voice class, directly raised his hand and sang.
"Brother Lei, don't forget that song. Zhang Xuefeng turned around and said to Kong Lei, turned his head and said, "I want to listen to the Cantonese song that Xiao Yao had a narration when he was on the scene just now." We've all listened to three voiceovers, and we still don't know what the song looks like, or even the title, I want to hear that!"
"'Immortals' is a piece performed by an orchestra, and it's not a good fit for me to sing alone in this scene. Xiao Yao first shook his head at Kong Lei, then looked at Zhang Xuefeng and said, "That Cantonese song is called "One Plus One", the bracket theater version, it is a song suitable for girls to sing, it is not suitable for me, I am only responsible for narration." I've found the right singer for that song, and I've already recorded it, so it shouldn't be long before I can see it, and if you're lucky, you might even hear the live version first. ”
"If you're lucky, you can hear the live version first?" Zhang Xuefeng said puzzled.
It means that Jiang Kailin will be out of the live version first when she enters the finals of "Singer". Wu You replied in his heart.
However, Wu You just thought about it in his heart and didn't say it directly. The finals of "Sound Immersion" were broadcast before the breakout competition of this season's "Singer", and Jiang Kailin and Wu You didn't want netizens to say that Jiang Kailin could enter the finals because everyone wanted to listen to Xiao Yao's song. It's okay to surprise the audience with this song after it reaches the finals, but it's not appropriate to say it in advance and turn it into a lure. They are not Xiao Yao, unlike Xiao Yao, who doesn't care about netizens saying that he bribed and tempted the audience or something.
Xiao Yao just wanted to bury a stalk here, so that everyone would suddenly realize when they looked back at this episode of the show in the future, and they didn't plan to say it directly here to help Jiang Kailin increase the possibility of entering the finals of "Singer", so he just smiled and didn't answer Zhang Xuefeng.
"Then what song are you going to sing here?" Wang Yao looked at Xiao Yao and said, "This time is different from last time, we have prepared musical instruments, so we don't need to go next door to borrow them." ”
"What are you singing?" Xiao Yao turned his head to look at the audience.
"The King of Love Songs!" shouted an audience member in the audience.
"The King of Love Songs?" Xiao Yao was surprised at first, and then said funny, "You really know how to order, aren't you afraid that Brother Hong Guang and Sister Zhishan will wait on it for a while to fall asleep?"
"The King of Love Songs" is a cover song made by Xiao Yao by stringing together more than 20 songs, and the whole song is more than ten minutes long, which is probably the longest song in the Chinese music circle. Zhou Xiao in the dubbing room looked at Liu Zhishan with a puzzled expression and helped popularize science.
"More than ten minutes long?" Liu Zhishan said.
"It's okay, we can wait!" Xu Hongguang raised the microphone in his hand and smiled, "Zhishan hasn't heard this song yet, so let's listen to it too." ”
"Oh~"
"The King of Love Songs!"
"The King of Love Songs!"
When the audience heard Xu Hongguang say this, they all let out a burst of cheers, and then shouted together.
Xiao Yao has never performed a live version of this super long song, not even during last year's LiveHouse tour.
"Ha~ Teacher Hongguang is deliberately provoking trouble," Kong Lei first said with a smile, and then gave a thumbs up and praised, "Well done!"
"Don't don't," Xiao Yao smiled bitterly and waved his hand repeatedly, "This song is too long, it's really inappropriate!"
"Phew~"
Xu Hongguang said that he didn't mind waiting, Xiao Yao still didn't give face and didn't sing, and the audience at the scene let out a burst of dissatisfied boos.
"Hey, Xiao Yao was booed by the audience!" said Gao Chengguang in the sound hall.
"Teacher Gao, Xiao Yao's being booed by the audience is similar to being booed by the audience when you say cross talk, the more the audience booes him, the more they like him. He Ying smiled.
"Baby~" Listening to the boos of the audience, Xiao Yao, who was full of wry smiles on the stage, suddenly raised the microphone and looked at the audience and called softly with great affection.
"Wow~" Xiao Yao's voice was low and magnetic, and his voice and eyes were full of affection, and the boos of the audience immediately disappeared, replaced by a huge scream.
"It's over, it's over, the audience is crazy!" Zhou Xiao in the dubbing room looked at the display screen and said.
"Ouch, I'll go~" Xu Hongguang in the dubbing room smiled bitterly, "Just this one, it is estimated that the girls will have to be hooked away by him!"
"It's okay, I'm still here!" Liu Zhishan smiled and reached out to shake Xu Hongguang's hand.
"Thank you!" Xu Hongguang looked at Liu Zhishan and nodded gratefully.
"But his voice is so good, I feel crispy all over my body!" Liu Zhishan said with a shake in her body.
"Huh?" Xu Hongguang looked at Liu Zhishan with wide eyes.
"Xiao Yao, who are you calling?" Wang Yao on the stage asked Xiao Yao with a smile.
"I didn't call anyone, I'll report the name of the song. Xiao Yao quickly changed his face, pretending to be ignorant, "The song I sang is called "Baby", which I wrote myself, but I wrote it for other singers, and I have never sung it in public, so everyone can barely listen to it as a new song." ”
"Huh~" There was another boo from the audience.
"Sing "Baby"?" Wang Yao didn't let Xiao Yao go, and continued to ask with a smile, "Yes, then who are you going to sing to?"
Xiao Yao deliberately took two steps forward and looked around at the audience under the stage.
"Xiao Yao!"
"Xiao Yao!"
The boos from the audience quickly died down again, and the audience became excited, raising their hands and waving and shouting.
"Of course, I sang it to all the audience and the audience in front of the TV. After the boos disappeared, Xiao Yao retreated and said to Wang Yao with a smile.
"Do you want to play and sing by yourself?" Wang Yao asked, "Do you want a musical instrument?"
"Well, give me an acoustic guitar!" Xiao Yao nodded.
Two staff members walked up to the stage, one with an acoustic guitar with a strap, and the other with a standing microphone.
Wu You saw a staff member carrying a standing microphone and took the initiative to walk to Xiao Yao's side. Xiao Yao smiled at her and nodded, and before she could speak, he tacitly handed her the handheld microphone in his hand to help hold it. After Wu You took Xiao Yao's hand-held microphone, he stepped back to the side with Wang Yao, leaving Xiao Yao in the middle of the stage.
Xiao Yao took the acoustic guitar in the hands of the staff and carried it to his body, stood behind the microphone, lowered his head and swept the six strings, and listened. The staff who sent the microphone to the stage did not leave immediately after setting up the microphone, squatted down to adjust the height of the microphone, and waited for Xiao Yao to nod and signal that it was okay before leaving the venue quickly.
"A song of "Baby" for everyone!" Xiao Yao said as he stood behind the microphone.
"Wow~" The audience at the scene applauded and cheered again.
"Handsome~" Kong Lei on the seat of the new voice class shouted.
Xiao Yao smiled, put on a gentle expression, gently waved his hand to pluck the strings, and played the prelude to the song.
"yes~dalala~da~" After the fresh fingerstyle melody of two bars, Xiao Yao hummed softly in the prelude.
This "Baby" is a work created and sung by Taiwanese female singer Zhang Hang in the previous life, the songwriter in this life is Xiao Yao, and the original singer is the female anchor of Youyu Qianqian.
It's a folk-style song, and the accompaniment is simple, and basically a single acoustic guitar can present a great effect. The original singer of the song in this life, the fish anchor Qian Qian played and sang by herself when she performed this song in her online live broadcast room, and Xiao Yao had no problem doing it.
One of the reasons why Xiao Yao chose this song to perform is that the accompaniment of this song only needs a guitar, which he can fully control, and it is more convenient to make some changes to the performance of the song. The song performed by Xiao Yao at this time is a little different from the version originally sung by Sissi, although the melody of the song is still the same, but the rhythm has slowed down. This prelude gives people a small and fresh feeling, and at the same time, it makes people feel much gentler.
At the end of the "Dong Dong~" prelude, Xiao Yao tapped twice more on the guitar's case panel to make a formal end to the prelude, and then entered the main song, playing and singing. Such a small detail is also something that Sissi's original version and the live broadcast room did not have. It's not that Sissi's skills in playing the guitar can't be reached, but when she plays the guitar, she is far from being as relaxed and casual as Xiao Yao.
"My baby, baby, give you a little sweetness, so that you can sleep well tonight~"
After Xiao Yao started singing, he not only changed the song, the speed and rhythm of the accompaniment and singing were slowed down, but also lowered when singing, making his male voice appear more low and magnetic.
Although the original singer of this song in this life is the female anchor of the swimming fish who can only be regarded as an online singer, because the creator is Xiao Yao's name, and it was released after Xiao Yao became popular in "Singer" in the summer of the previous year, the popularity is also quite good, and many viewers at the scene have heard this song.
When Xiao Yao introduced that he wanted to perform this song, many viewers planned to sing along softly while clapping their hands and beating the beat, but after Xiao Yao started singing, everyone found that compared with the original version, Xiao Yao sang not only the difference between the male version and the female version, but also the rhythm and tone were different from the original version.
"My little ghost, little ghost, tease your eyebrows and make you like the whole world~"
When Xiao Yao's second sentence came out, the audience who were slightly accustomed to the rhythm of Xiao Yao's slow version of the song also felt more enjoyable.
"Wow la-la, my baby, when I'm tired, I have someone to accompany you~ Oh, yes, yes, my baby, let you know that you are the most beautiful~"
This song is very short, the main song and the chorus are only two sentences, and when he sang "You are the most beautiful" at the end of the chorus, Xiao Yao raised his head slightly, curled the corners of his mouth, and looked ahead with doting eyes. The camera at the scene captured Xiao Yao's action, and directly cut it into a close-up and projected it onto the big screen behind the stage.
Looking at Xiao Yao's expression and eyes on the big screen, many female viewers couldn't help but want to scream, but they were afraid that it would affect Xiao Yao's performance, so they had to reach out and cover their mouths or cheeks, but their eyes had already bent into two crescents.
"Wow~" Liu Zhishan in the dubbing room also saw this close-up shot, leaned forward, supported her elbows on her knees, and covered her cheeks with her hands and sighed softly.
"It's still discharged!" Xu Hongguang turned his head and glanced at Liu Zhishan, shook his head and sighed, "I have a good voice, I sing well, I can play the guitar, and my eyes will discharge, this is too lethal for girls!"
Not only Liu Zhishan in the dubbing room and the female audience at the scene, but even He Ying in the sound hall covered her cheeks and eyes shyly under the double impact of sight and hearing.
"My baby, baby, give you a little sweetness, let you sleep well tonight~ My little ghost, little ghost, pinch your smiling face and make you like the whole tomorrow~"
After a short two-bar interlude, Xiao Yao entered the singing of the second main song. The magnetic singing that made the audience sink also sounded again.
"Wow la-la, my baby, when I'm tired, I have someone to accompany you~ Oh, yes, yes, my baby, let you know that you are the most beautiful~"
The second main song is followed by a second chorus. This time, the cameraman and director on the scene cut to Xiao Yao's close-up when they first entered the chorus, and when they sang "You are the most beautiful", many female viewers who had already listened to it were once again "electrified" by Xiao Yao's eyes.
"Bang la la la my baby, when you are lonely, someone misses you~ oops, yes, oh, my-"
The second chorus was followed by another chorus, but Xiao Yao suddenly stopped singing in the middle of the first half of the second sentence of this chorus.
Xiao Yao not only stopped singing in his mouth, but also stopped playing the guitar in his hands, and even reached out and pressed the strings of the guitar to stop the vibration of the strings, so that the sound of the accompanying guitar immediately stopped synchronously, and the whole scene suddenly fell into silence.
"Baby~" Just when everyone was puzzled, Xiao Yao approached the microphone again and called out softly.
"Wow~" The audience at the scene was boiling, and many female viewers couldn't help but shout.
"Let you know that you are the most beautiful~"
In the shouts of the audience, Xiao Yao plucked the strings again, and continued to sing the next sentence in his mouth.
"I want you to know ~ you, the most, beautiful ~"
In the original version, there was originally another paragraph behind this song, but Xiao Yao's live version changed an originally medium-speed song to a lullaby-like slow version of the song, which has stretched the original two-and-a-half-minute song to three minutes, and Xiao Yao felt that he had achieved the effect he wanted, so Xiao Yao's last paragraph was omitted, and the last sentence of the end of the song was directly played and sung. When singing this last sentence, Xiao Yao's guitar accompaniment only played the first four words, that is, the first three-quarter bars of the accompaniment melody, and then sang the last three words word by word at a slower speed.
When Xiao Yao sang the word "you", his hands left the strings, and at the same time stretched out to point to both sides of the audience, and then slowly closed to the middle, when singing the word "most", Xiao Yao's hands in the middle had a short pause, and when singing the last word "beauty", Xiao Yao's hands just closed, pointing to all the audience.
"Wow~" Of course, the audience knew the meaning of Xiao Yao's last ending action, and they all screamed and applauded Xiao Yao.
"Thank you!" Xiao Yao lowered his hands, took a step back, and bowed to the audience with a smile.
After Xiao Yao's curtain call, the applause and screams at the scene were a little louder.
The two staff members walked onto the stage again, one removed the standing microphone, and the other took the acoustic guitar that Xiao Yao took off his body and left the stage quickly. After the staff left, Wang Yao and Wu You on the side of the stage walked to Xiao Yao in the middle of the stage again, and after Wu You handed the handheld microphone back to Xiao Yao, he took a step back and stood behind Wang Yao.
"Oh, if you don't sing, it's just that, this singing is amazing!" Wang Yao, who walked to Xiao Yao's side, sighed, "Look at the audience's reaction! I think you are not only good at dubbing, but even more powerful at singing!"
"Thank you, Uncle Yao," Xiao Yao smiled, turned his head and asked the audience, "What do you think?"
"It's all amazing!" shouted the audience.
"Thank you, baby~" Xiao Yao smiled.
"Ah~" Hearing Xiao Yao call "baby" again, the female audience at the scene screamed again.
"Oh my God," Wang Yao shrunk his neck, reached out and plucked his ears, as if he was frightened, and said to the audience, "Everyone, calm down!"
"Okay, you can't call it baby anymore," Wang Yao turned to Xiao Yao again, "I can't finish recording today's show." ”
