Although the layout in the lounge on the first floor has changed, a guy as big as a grand piano will not move easily. When Xiao Yao was below just now, he recognized that the piano in the hall was the one he played halfway through the show the year before last and felt that the tone was inaccurate and he tuned it himself, but he didn't play it with his hands. Henderson is also a very professional singer, and if the piano is not accurate, he can hear it.

"No need!" Jiang Kailin's follow-up director smiled, "Since your time, as long as we are recording the show, our Tao director has arranged for someone to regularly tune the piano." ”

"Oh!" Xiao Yao nodded, and then smiled, "Director Li, if it weren't for me playing that piano the year before last and I couldn't hear the sound accurately, and I tuned that piano by myself, you Tao Dao wouldn't have thought of finding someone to tune the piano regularly, right?"

Jiang Kailin's filming crew was the group that followed Hong Wei the year before last, and Xiao Yao secretly filmed Hong Wei in his team in the first episode of the show he participated in, so he was second familiar with this director besides Mei Fang.

"Yes, it wasn't that you held a piano recital in the show the year before last, and Director Tao probably can't remember this!" Director Li smiled, "But what are you trying to do now? You don't want Director Tao to give you an appearance fee again, right? This time you are not a guest of competition, so you don't have an appearance fee at all!"

"Cut~ Am I a person who just thinks about money?" Xiao Yao pursed his lips, "I found that it doesn't matter if I don't have a good voice, but if my international friends find that the piano sound is inaccurate, and I can't find a tuner for a while, and I lose the interest in playing, I'm afraid I have to question the professionalism of your program team." ”

"This~" Director Li said helplessly, "Yes, you are right, we thank you!"

When Xiao Yao was arguing with Director Li, the following performance had already begun.

Seeing Ellie Henderson running to play the piano and sing, Jiang Kailin, who helped Xiao Yao finish covering, was embarrassed to go upstairs and leave immediately, so she sat with Wu You and listened.

Ellie Henderson didn't perform for long, just played and sang a short section before stopping.

“Bravo!” Even though it was only a short paragraph, Ellie Henderson's agent applauded loudly.

"Great!" Jiang Kailin and Wu You, who was staying in the hall on the first floor, also gave a round of applause.

"Thank you!" Ellie Henderson bowed her head slightly and smiled, "This is a song I wrote when I was nine years old, just for fun." ”

"It's a song she wrote when she was nine years old. Ellie Henderson's show agent turned back to the camera camera and gave a thumbs-up to translate, then shook her head with a smile and exclaimed, "I can't even write at ninety!"

Ellie Henderson's program agent is not the host of Shonan Satellite TV, but a singer who has participated in the Shonan Satellite TV talent show, named Jiang Jun, who did not be an agent in "Singer" the year before last, and is a new addition this year. He was a foreign company manager before participating in the draft show, and his English was very good. The program team arranged for him to be the program manager of Ellie Henderson, a British female singer. As Ellie Henderson's program manager, Jiang Jun naturally will not miss any opportunity to help his singers improve their image.

Jiang Jun wants Ellie Henderson to shine, but Wu You will not let Ellie Henderson be in the limelight alone. Although Wu You's singer Jiang Kailin can't play the piano and can't directly perform PK, she can also make Ellie Henderson look less dazzling from the side.

"You can't write," Wu You said with a smile, "But we are still more than five years old in Huaxia who can compose and write songs!"

In terms of the level of playing the piano and the age when he began to write and compose songs, Wu You felt that Ellie Henderson was inferior to Xiao Yao. Now that demon is upstairs, Wu You can't think of it, so he naturally carried Xiao Yao out. Of course, it is certainly inappropriate for her agent to directly evaluate Ellie Henderson. The object of her speech was Jiang Jun, who is also an agent, but the meaning of her words implied that Ellie Henderson is not unique in writing songs and composing music at a young age, and it is not so rare.

"Are you talking about Xiao Yao?" Jiang Jun quickly understood.

Huaxia can write songs at the age of five, and he is currently known only Xiao Yao.

"Yes, "The Original Scenery of My Hometown" and "Insects Fly" were both written when he was five years old. Wu You nodded with a smile.

"Who are you talking about?" asked Ellie Henderson curiously. She also has a Bluetooth headset with translation software in her ears, and she can also understand the Chinese that the two are talking about.

"Jan Xiao, a very young musical genius in China. Wu You replied in English.

"I know him!" exclaimed Ellie Henderson, "I love his 'ThinkingOutLoud' so much!

"Xiao Yao, Ellie Henderson all know you, it seems that you are also an international superstar!" Director Li leaned behind Xiao Yao and smiled, "You, an international superstar, came to work as a makeup artist for others, hiding here to peek and eavesdrop, does it damage your image as an international superstar?"

"What kind of international superstar? Isn't it Jiang Kailin's little follower?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Ellie, Jan first sang 'ThinkingOutLoud' on this show, just the year before. Jiang Kailin also said.

"I know," Ellie Henderson nodded, "I just watched his singing video to find out about the show." ”

"It turns out that you agreed to participate in this show, or it has something to do with Yang!" Wu You smiled, "Do you want to see him?"

"I'll go, Wu You won't sell me now, right?" Xiao Yao whispered.

"Of course!" Ellie Henderson said in surprise, "Could it be that he is the new singer today?" she had heard that a Chinese singer had participated in the show more than once.

"No, he is not among the competing singers of this year's show, and today's new singer is a female singer. Wu You shook his head and smiled, "But I think you'll have a chance to meet him." ”

"Well, I hope so. Ellie Henderson said with a little regret.

The program team did not tell the other competing guests that Xiao Yao was coming, but they planned to let Xiao Yao appear during Jiang Kailin's performance to surprise everyone, Jiang Kailin and Wu You of course would not reveal it to other guests in advance, Wu You said this to warm up. Everyone diverted from Xiao Yao's topic, and after chatting for a while, they went upstairs and went back to their own lounges.

After staying in the lounge for a while, the staff came over to inform Jiang Kailin to go to the rehearsal. Xiao Yao is not only Jiang Kailin's makeup artist, but also the arranger of her competition songs and the guitarist on the field, and this rehearsal also followed Jiang Kailin to participate.

The venue for the rehearsal is the stage in the studio, and the lounge of the competing singers has two doors, one is in the singer's rest hall, and the other door is connected to another passage directly to the stage of the studio.

Xiao Yao doesn't have to keep it a secret from the band members, so there is no need to disguise. After following Jiang Kailin to the studio, Xiao Yao, who was just wearing a baseball cap, was quickly recognized by Liu Tong, the music director of the show, and well-known musicians who have been in the show band for several seasons in a row. These people have cooperated with Xiao Yao for a season, and they are also old acquaintances with Xiao Yao.

"Xiao Yao, long time no see! Liu Tong took the initiative to give Xiao Yao a hug, and said with a smile, "When I see you, I feel a lot more relaxed." ”

"Are you saying that I arrange the music by myself every time, which reduces your workload?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "There are several competition singers who bring their own royal producers and arrangers in any season, and I am not the only one. ”

"But our favorite is you!" Amur, the musician in charge of the piano and keyboard in the band, came up and shook Xiao Yao's hand, and said with a smile.

In that breakout competition, Xiao Yao suffered a microphone failure, and the fact that he changed to using a microphone to complete the whole performance on the spot has become the most classic performance in the history of "Singer". In the second half of that performance, Xiao Yao's non-microphone singing was also accompanied by a band, and the two sides worked very well together. In other words, that classic performance was completed by Xiao Yao, a singer, in cooperation with the band directed by Liu Tong, and the excellent performance of the band directed by Liu Tong also made a very important contribution to that performance.

In addition to lamenting Xiao Yao's awesomeness, the audience also praised their band's on-the-spot reaction, and the leaders of the station also praised their band's performance. Financially and famously, their band benefited a lot from that.

In the show of the season before last, Liu Tong and the entire band were very impressed by Xiao Yao. The ability shown by Xiao Yao in that incident amazed them, and it really brought them benefits, and they had a very good impression of Xiao Yao. Seeing Xiao Yao again at this time, the old men of these bands naturally seemed very affectionate.

After Liu Tong and Amur, several old members of the show band also stepped forward one by one to shake hands or high-five Xiao Yao, and greeted him warmly.

When Jiang Kailin and Xiao Yao arrived, Gesang Ram and a few harmony children had already arrived. After the music director and several old members of the band greeted Xiao Yao, the rehearsal began.

In addition to serving as the guitarist in the band, Xiao Yao also played more of a role as one of the conductors in this rehearsal.

During the rehearsal process, in addition to music director Liu Tong, Xiao Yao also stopped several times, not only pointing out some problems in the singing of Jiang Kailin, Gesang Ram and several children, but also pointed out some flaws in the band's performance. Liu Tong and several old members of the band did not express any dissatisfaction with Xiao Yao's behavior, let alone those new members who joined the band last year and this year.

As a result, it turned out that Xiao Yao's ear sensitivity and music level were really not weaker than Liu Tong's. After everyone made adjustments according to what Xiao Yao said, the overall effect really improved, and the appreciation and admiration in everyone's eyes when they looked at Xiao Yao became stronger.

After the rehearsal, Jiang Kailin was called to the studio by the staff of the program team for an interview. During rehearsals and formal competitions, the route of the contestants is to go to the studio without going through the lounge, and to return from the studio through the lounge. At this time, if you go back the same way, you may meet the next singer who comes to the studio to rehearse, Xiao Yao will feel very strange to go back alone, so Xiao Yao did not go back alone, but waited outside the studio, preparing to wait for Jiang Kailin to be interviewed before pretending to be her assistant and following Jiang Kailin through the rest hall to her lounge.

When Jiang Kailin came out after the interview, the on-site director who interviewed Jiang Kailin also went out of the studio with him, and Xiao Yao, who wanted to wait outside the door, also went in to do an interview.

Of course, Jiang Kailin had no opinion on the interview with Xiao Yao, and even expressed her willingness to wait outside for Xiao Yao to finish the interview before going back together. But Xiao Yao was reluctant to be interviewed, and refused because he was not a guest of competition. In the history of the show, there have been interviews with guest singers in the finals, but there is no precedent for interviewing arrangers or musicians invited by competing singers.

Xiao Yao is not so principled about breaking the rules of the show, but he can guess the problems he will face during the interview. How did it feel to return to the show as a behind-the-scenes arranger and musician, and why did you agree to help Jiang Kailin write songs and arrange music, design costumes, be a musician on stage, and even design the whole performance? These are two questions that are almost certain.

The first Xiao Yao can talk about it casually, but the latter question, Xiao Yao can't say to the camera that he helped Jiang Kailin so that Wu You agreed to be the guest speaker in the final of "Sound Immersion", right? Even if Xiao Yao really thinks so and does it, he can't say so publicly.

A big-name singer who was invited to "Singer" as a guest performer and has more than 10 million Weibo fans is not as good as a "newcomer" host in her program who is an agent in her show and a Weibo under Shonan Satellite TV with less than 1 million followers?

Although Jiang Kailin and Wu You are not Xiao Yao's real friends, at least they are acquaintances with a good perception so far. Especially Wu You, Xiao Yao still appreciates it very much. Xiao Yao doesn't care if he is hacked, but no matter how willful he is, this kind of thing that may bring harm to the acquaintances around him will not be done easily. Since it is not a mandatory interview as stipulated by the program, Xiao Yao is too lazy to make up nonsense, so it is better to simply refuse and not accept the interview.

Xiao Yao insisted that he was unwilling to break the convention of being interviewed, and the program team had nothing to do with him, and the on-site director of the final interview could only let him go.

After rehearsals and interviews, when I went back to the lounge, I had to pass through the lounge. Jiang Kailin pushed open the door of the rest hall and walked in directly, but Xiao Yao immediately retreated, stopped the cameraman of Jiang Kailin's follow-up team behind him and said, "Brother Zhao, give me the camera, I'll shoot it for you!"

"Why are you going to be a guest cameraman again?" said Director Li with a smile.

"I saw an acquaintance!" Xiao Yao pointed to the inside of the rest hall, "Teacher Shazhou is below, I don't want to be recognized by him now, so I can only block it with a camera." Of course, I'll shoot everything that needs to be photographed!"

When Jiang Kailin pushed the door open just now, Xiao Yao, who was following behind, immediately retreated when he caught a glimpse of a sandbar standing in the rest hall.

Shazhou was Xiao Yao's mentor in "The Voice", and later cooperated with Xiao Yao in electronic music programs, and he had a good relationship with Xiao Yao, and he was also relatively familiar. Before participating in this show, Shazhou had asked Xiao Yao to help him write songs and arrange music, but Xiao Yao refused because he was too busy to have time. If Shazhou found out that he was here, Xiao Yao knew that he would definitely be scolded by Shazhou.

Although Xiao Yao is going to perform on stage with Jiang Kailin tonight, he will always be exposed in the end, but Xiao Yao also hopes that the moment of facing the sandbar will come as late as possible.

Jiang Kailin met other singers in the rest hall, and it was definitely impossible to ignore the other party and go upstairs and go back to the room, and it was at least polite to stop and say hello to the other party. This also means that those who come back with Jiang Kailin will also stay in the hall on the first floor for a while.

Xiao Yao only wore a hat and did not wear sunglasses and a mask or other disguises. If it was someone else, Xiao Yao might still be able to stand in the follow-up group and mix in, but he appeared in front of the sandbar for a long time without covering, Xiao Yao didn't have the confidence to guarantee that the other party would not find out, so he made a cameo as a cameraman again. When carrying the camera, the camera's viewfinder and preview screen can cover most of the cameraman's face, which is much safer for Xiao Yao.
