Chapter 562: Do you want me to make another cameo?
"Aren't you going to Shonan with Kailin?" Wu You said to Xiao Yao, "You said yesterday that you put the preparations for the final of "Sound Immersion" in the last two weeks, and you should have time to go to Shonan this week, right? As the creator and producer of this song, don't you go to the scene to guide you during the rehearsal of "Singer"?"
"Hmm~ I haven't thought about this yet. Xiao Yao pondered for a moment before raising his head and said, "I don't mind robbing Teacher Liu Tong's job, but if you just stay behind the scenes, I don't think it's interesting." ”
"You can go on stage!" Wu You reminded, "Don't you know a lot of instruments? The piano, keyboard, and guitar are all great, there should be these instruments in this song, right? Kailin must be willing to ask you to be a live musician, I'm afraid I won't let you." As long as you want, it will definitely not be a problem to appear on stage. ”
"That's fine, there's an electric guitar in the soundtrack, and I can go on stage to accompani. Xiao Yao said, "It's just that outside of Kailin's performance, I don't want to stay in the lounge where the guests bring their own musicians or harmonic actors, it's too boring, and the lounge of the rest hall and the competing singers are more fun." But I'm not a competition singer, and it's not in line with the rules of the show. ”
"What's so difficult about this?" Fang on the side still reminded, "Didn't you be Gong Chen and Xu Yuan's little followers before? As a member of her personal team, can't you follow her to her singer's lounge? ”
"Let your star be a makeup artist for other stars? What kind of agent is this?" Jiang Kailin's agent looked at Fang Yi in surprise.
"That's a way to do it. Xiao Yao nodded, looked at Jiang Kailin and said, "How about I temporarily join your private team and be a makeup artist for you?"
"Huh, you're going to be my makeup artist?" Jiang Kailin was a little stupid.
"Don't believe in my skills?" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "When I went to "The Masked Singer" with Gong Chen and Xu Yuan that year, I really did the makeup and makeup removal work. ”
"No, no," Jiang Kailin hurriedly waved her hand and said, "I am flattered and frightened that such a big-name star as you want to be my makeup artist!"
"There's nothing surprising about it, I've always been more casual and think it's more important to have fun. Xiao Yao smiled, "I have not only worked as a makeup artist for others, but also helped others carry boxes and worked as an assistant." ”
"Well, that's such a happy decision. Xiao Yao clapped his hands and said, "I'm going to make peace with Jiaqilu now, so who are you?"
"It's not early, I was supposed to come to you for dinner. Jiang Kailin said, "You see whether to go out to eat or record first, we will listen to you." ”
"Are you hungry?" Xiao Yao looked at the time and asked Zhou Jiaqi.
"My sister has prepared a lot of snacks for me, I'm not hungry. Zhou Jiaqi said.
"Okay, then you wait a minute. After recording with Jiaqi first, I will go to dinner, so as not to run back and forth, so that I can still send Jiaqi home early. Xiao Yao said to Jiang Kailin.
"Such a young child came to record, and her parents didn't follow, they are so reassuring of you?" Jiang Kailin looked at Zhou Jiaqi and said.
"When I first came, I was definitely not at ease, and my parents came with me, but I came more often and became familiar with it, so I was not so worried. Xiao Yao said, "Her parents happened to have something to do at this time today, so they didn't come over, just send her home after recording." ”
Xiao Yao's "Seve" and "Chengdu" both have children's voices, and the official version is recorded by the children of the Shencheng Children's Palace Choir to help him, and the children's song "Little Star" sung during the live broadcast also found the Shencheng Children's Palace Choir to record an official version.
Both versions of the song have a children's vocal part, but they are not identical. Xiao Yao handed over the two versions of the children's singing part to Zhou Jiaqi to complete, and this time he found her, and he also planned to record both versions of the singing at one time. Zhou Jiaqi has cooperated with Xiao Yao several times, and it is not difficult to sing the children's voice of this song, so even though it was a record of two versions of the harmony accompaniment at once, it didn't take too long, almost half an hour to get it done.
After dinner, Xiao Yao didn't work overtime, but just gave the accompaniment to Jiang Kailin, so that she could get familiar with it again at night, and come to the studio the next day to officially record.
The next day, Jiang Kailin came to Xiao Yao's recording studio on time, but before the official recording, Jiang Kailin said to Xiao Yao with some hesitation: "Xiao Yao, there is something I want to tell you first." ”
"What's the matter?" Xiao Yao asked as he looked at Jiang Kailin.
"For the live performance of "Singer", I wanted to change the lyrics. Jiang Kailin said, "I think I need to talk to you first." ”
"Are you dissatisfied with which lyrics, or are there better words?" Xiao Yao asked curiously, "Either way, you can bring it up and talk about it specifically, and we can discuss." If it's really your words that are better, I don't mind following yours, and you can also add your name to the lyricist. ”
"No, it's not dissatisfied, it's not better. Jiang Kailin said, "The lyrics and songs of your song are very good, and the official version is recorded completely according to the lyrics and songs you gave me." It's just that for some reason, I wanted to change it temporarily when I sang on "The Singer", to be exact, just one of the words. ”
The copyright of this song has been bought by Jiang Kailin, who is planning to release a single. Although the release time of the single will definitely not be until after she participates in "Singer", Xiao Yao helped her record this song just like when she participated in "Singer" back then, and directly recorded the official version before participating in the competition. In fact, if you only change the lyrics of the live version, Jiang Kailin can completely change the lyrics herself when she performs on the stage of "Singer". Anyway, the contract has been signed, the money has been paid, and the official version has been recorded, even if Xiao Yao is dissatisfied, he can't change anything. A big deal about forgetting a word or a slip of the tongue can be explained.
However, Jiang Kailin still wants to have follow-up cooperation with Xiao Yao, and doesn't want Xiao Yao to have any dissatisfaction or other ideas. She didn't know what Xiao Yao's attitude would be towards the singer changing the lyrics he wrote without authorization, so after thinking about it for a night last night, she decided to say hello to Xiao Yao first.
"It's just a temporary change on "Singer", and there is only one word?" Xiao Yao was even more strange, "I'm very curious, which word is it, why did you change it temporarily?"
It's the phrase "cunning people have a thousand kinds of laughter", and I want to temporarily change it to "a hypocritical person has a thousand kinds of laughter" when performing live. Jiang Kailin said, "It's not that "hypocrisy" is necessarily better than "cunning", it's just that I..."
"It's just better to describe someone as "hypocritical" than "cunning", right?" Xiao Yao suddenly smiled, "It turns out that you really don't deal with someone, I thought those things on the Internet were hyped up for you to participate in "Singer"!"
"Huh?" said Jiang Kailin in surprise.
"Many people on the Internet are saying, I know it's normal!" Xiao Yao smiled, "Isn't it that the previous "sisters" are actually plastic love, and they start to tear after turning their eyes~ I'm sorry, what's that." ”
Because of the attention attracted by participating in "Singer", the recent story about Jiang Kailin and another Hong Kong Island female singer who lasted for eight years was turned over by the gossip media and spread on the Internet. When checking Wu You's Weibo some time ago, Xiao Yao also learned about Jiang Kailin's situation by the way, so he naturally knew about it.
"Between me and her..."Jiang Kailin hurriedly said in a little anxious.
"It has nothing to do with me!" Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand to stop her, "To be honest, this kind of thing is very common in the entertainment industry, and I have no interest in learning more about it, and I don't comment on it." But if you want to use music to make your voice, I'm fine. For me, there is not much difference between "cunning" and "hypocrisy" in a lyric. Not only the scene of "Singer", but also the official version is no problem with "hypocrisy". Of course, my own version, I will still use "cunning". In this way, the two versions are compared, and everyone notices that the word is more likely to serve your purpose better. ”
"You don't care about the matter between me and her, but you're willing to let me use the songs you wrote to speak?" Jiang Kailin looked at Xiao Yao in puzzlement.
"Yes," Xiao Yao said, "I just wrote a song and agreed with you to change one of the words, which can't be understood as a kind of standing in line, right?"
"His own version is cunning, yours is hypocritical, and at first glance it is what you want to change. No matter how much trouble your fans make, this fire shouldn't burn on him. Fang still smiled, "It's not a big deal for him to watch the excitement!"
"That's pretty much what it means!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, and then spread his hands again, "Actually, this lyric is indeed what you want to change, and I didn't do anything!"
"You~" Jiang Kailin was speechless for a while.
"Okay, I don't have a problem with changing the lyrics. Let's start recording, right? After the recording, we have to go to Shonan to rehearse the live version. Xiao Yao pointed to the recording room and said, "As for what the lyrics sing, you are free, I only care about the musicality of your recording." ”
"Okay!" Jiang Kailin nodded helplessly, cleaned up her mood, and walked into the recording room.
After Xiao Yao helped Jiang Kailin record the studio version of the song, the group immediately set off for Xiangnan.
When they arrived in Shonan, there were still two days left before the recording and rehearsal of "Singer" this week. Because Jiang Kailin's competition in this issue has a live harmony accompaniment of children's voices, and the children who sing children's voices were found by Shonan Satellite TV for them, they have not cooperated before, they arrived early, and they also practiced with a few children first.
The children's vocals that Shonan Satellite TV helped Jiang Kailin find are four five or six-year-old girls, all of whom are from the Children's Art Troupe, the focus of Shonan Youth Activities. The children's harmony part of this song is not difficult, and the children in this group have appeared on the stage of "Singer" more than once, and they have experience in helping singers harmonize, so the practice process is also very smooth.
Due to arriving in Shonan ahead of schedule, on the day of the competition, Jiang Kailin's team was also the first to arrive at the recording venue of Shonan TV's "Singer" program.
Xiao Yao came to "Singer" as a member of Jiang Kailin's personal team this time, and the program team and Jiang Kailin's follow-up team all knew about it, but they hid it from other competing singers and their teams, and did not let them know in advance. It is rare for Xiao Yao to appear backstage in "Singer" with such a special identity, and of course the program team will also want to shoot some backstage tidbits of him, so there is no restriction on his actions, as long as he is not discovered by other competing singers and their teams early.
Compared to the previous year, the recording venue of this show is the same, but the stage in the studio, the lounge on the first floor, and the singer lounge on the second floor have undergone some changes. When it was discovered that Jiang Kailin was the first competing singer to arrive, and there was no danger of being discovered by others, Xiao Yao also walked around the rest hall on the first floor of "Singer" and felt the difference between this place and the year before.
Since Xiao Yao wanted to take a look in the hall on the first floor, Jiang Kailin did not go upstairs to his lounge, but sat on the sofa in the hall on the first floor to accompany him.
"Someone is coming!" Xiao Yao heard footsteps outside the door of the hall that had been deliberately left a crack and was not tightly closed, and immediately rushed to Jiang Kailin's lounge on the second floor.
Jiang Kailin did not follow Xiao Yao upstairs, but stood up from the sofa and walked to the door to greet the singer who came in, and by the way, she also helped Xiao Yao cover up.
"Who is here?" After confirming that it was safe, Xiao Yao gently opened the door of the lounge, squatted down and quietly looked down.
There are several singers in this season, some of whom Xiao Yao knows, and some who Xiao Yao doesn't know very well, and there are two episodes between recording and broadcasting, some people are eliminated and some people fill in the positions, and there may be some changes in the personnel, so Xiao Yao is also a little curious about who is here.
Since there was a camera team in the rest hall, Jiang Kailin's follow-up team also knew that Xiao Yao would have to hide in Jiang Kailin's lounge once someone came, so Jiang Kailin's follow-up team did not stay in the hall on the first floor, but waited in Jiang Kailin's lounge. When the two separated, Jiang Kailin's follow-up team was responsible for filming Xiao Yao.
"Ellie Henderson, the second one to come in is the Great Demon King!" Xiao Yao glanced twice, turned around and looked at the camera lens with the photographer with a surprised expression, "I finally saw me with my own eyes!"
Coming in was an English singer named Ellie Henderson, about thirty years old. She has won several BRIT Awards, performed at the Grammys in the United States, and has many of her classic songs on both the UK singles chart and the Billboard in the United States. This is definitely an international-level superstar, and he is also known by netizens as the biggest singer in the history of the "Singer" program.
Of course, her strength is also undoubted. The first three episodes of this season's "Singer" have won an unprecedented triple championship, and none of the five episodes currently broadcast have been in the top three, and they are the real "big devils" in this season's programs.
After Ellie Henderson greeted Jiang Kailin for a while, she didn't go upstairs to the lounge immediately, but looked at the grand piano in the hall with great interest and asked the program manager next to her: "I want to play that piano, can I try it?"
"Of course!" the program manager who followed her stood by the piano, leaned in, and made a listening gesture, "Let's enjoy your performance." ”
"Piano performance!" Xiao Yao turned around and asked Jiang Kailin's follow-up director, "Has this piano been tuned recently?"
