Chapter 43: Goodbye Xu Yuan
This temporary program that invited Gong Chen is called "The Masked Singer", which is similar to "The Masked Singer" and "The Masked Singer" in the previous life. The www.biquge.info rules of the pen "Fun" Pavilion are that the singer sings with a mask, and then the guests of the guessing panel and the audience guess who the singer is.
Each episode will feature six singers, and after the first round of splitting into three groups for two and two choruses, each singer will perform a solo performance. After that, the guests of the on-site guessing panel guessed two names for the audience to choose. If the majority of the audience chooses correctly, the singer will take off the mask on the spot, and they will leave the show if they show their true faces. If the guest does not guess the name of the singer or the majority of the audience chooses the wrong one, the singer can keep the mask and continue to participate in the next episode. Therefore, if you want to stay in the show for a long time, the important thing is not to sing the best, but to hide your original voice as much as possible.
The fun of this show is actually more attractive than the musicality, and Xiao Yao is not completely uninterested. In the past, there was mainly no time, but now although there is an opportunity to participate in the first phase, Xiao Yao still has no intention of being the singer who fills the position halfway.
After more than ten years of practice, Xiao Yao feels that his voice is still very plastic. The album that came out has songs of any genre such as rock, folk, rap, lyrical, and even opera, which means that there are quite a few types that he can control. Xiao Yao is confident that if he participates in that show, each song can be sung with a different feeling, and he can completely make the guests of the guessing panel unable to find the north, at least he can stay in it for three or four periods, and sing six or seven songs before being recognized.
really hid and sang, the guests and the audience couldn't guess, and he didn't have time to continue to participate. If he took the initiative to uncover his face and leave after participating in the first issue, Xiao Yao felt unwilling. So in the face of the program team's invitation again, Xiao Yao still refused.
However, although he refused to be the fill-in singer of the show, Xiao Yao still has an interest in the show. It happened that there was nothing to do during the May Day holiday, so Xiao Yao decided to participate in the show in another capacity.
It's a show where singers sing in masks and let the audience guess their identities. Before the singers took off their masks and left, the singers wore masks the whole time, whether they sang on stage or waited in the backstage lounge. So the masks worn by the singers have become a highlight of this show. In order to shine in the show, the singers also spent a lot of thought on the masks, and some singers even invited professional fashion designers to design and produce the masks they wore in the show.
As a newcomer, Gong Chen himself has no resources in the fashion circle, so naturally he is not treated so well, fortunately she met a Xiao Yao who happened to be idle, and Xiao Yao, who happened to want to go to that show, took the initiative to take over Gong Chen's personal modeling and mask design, and served as Gong Chen's personal stylist. In order to prevent the audience from guessing the identity of the singer by recognizing the team members accompanying the singer, the private team members brought by the singer also had to wear masks throughout the whole process, and Xiao Yao could play a sneaky trick again.
Since Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao both refused the invitation to be fill-in singers, the program team also selected another rookie singer from the list of candidate singers to be a fill-in singer with Gong Chen. Because this rookie female singer, who is also a newcomer with good looks and good singing skills like Gong Chen, has a great difference in singing style, the program team also arranged the two together in the first chorus link.
Since it is a chorus, whether it is the selection of the repertoire, the arrangement and soundtrack of the live performance, and the distribution of the singing sections, the two singers and their teams need to get together to discuss and decide. In view of the fact that Gong Chen has a lot of trips and people working hard some time ago, Xiao Siqi, the boss, has a good temper and humor, and the environment and atmosphere in the studio are relaxed in a large company. So after receiving the notice from the program team, the singer who sang with Gong Chen in the first round took the initiative to come to Qijia Studio with his own private team to discuss the first round of chorus songs with Gong Chen.
When the singer came to the door, Xiao Yao happened to be discussing mask and costume design with Gong Chen in a studio. When the singer knocked on the door and entered the studio under the leadership of the staff, Xiao Yao was slightly surprised that the rookie female singer who sang with Gong Chen turned out to be an old acquaintance of his.
"Xu Yuan, it's you. Long time no see. When he raised his head and saw that the female singer who entered the door turned out to be Xu Yuan, whom he had played with on the stage of "The Voice" last year, he first greeted him with a smile.
"Xiao Yao, long time no see. Xu Yuan responded to Xiao Yao with a smile, "You demon is getting more and more demonic." Congratulations on winning the Golden Disc Award and the champion of the art examination, although I sent you a congratulatory text message, but since we met, I think it is better to say it in person. Cow!" as he spoke, Xu Yuan also gave Xiao Yao a thumbs up.
"Hello Xu Yuan, I'm Gong Chen, I've heard your songs, it's very powerful, great!" Gong Chen knew that this Xu Yuan was the singer who sang with him, and he also stepped forward to greet him with a smile.
"Hello, I've heard your songs too. Xu Yuan smiled and shook hands with Gong Chen, who met for the first time, and said, "Your voice is really good, and of course you sing very well." But what I envy you the most is the songs you sing, most of which are written by this guy. Xu Yuan pointed to Xiao Yao next to him.
"Not most, it's all!" Gong Chen said silently in his heart. Now Gong Chen has only five original songs in addition to some early cover songs and adapted songs in the first episode of the electronic music program, and two of the songs in the show and two of the singles are Xiao Yao's works, and then the ending song of the TV series signed by Xiao Yao with XY. Xu Yuan, who didn't know XY's true identity, obviously only counted four songs, but Gong Chen already knew that XY was Xiao Yao's.
"Speaking of which," Xu Yuan turned to Xiao Yao again, "Xiao Yao, write me a song when you want." You don't just write songs for the singers who signed up with your studio, right? The four songs you wrote for Gong Chen were all written for her before she signed with your studio. ā
"This... Let's talk about it. Xiao Yao scratched his head, changed the topic and said, "Didn't you come here today for the chorus, it's better to do business first." ā
"Okay, let's put this matter aside for the time being," Xu Yuan looked at Xiao Yao and said, "After the chorus song is discussed, I will invite you to dinner in the evening, and I will also call Fan Fan, I haven't seen her for a long time." Please write a song, let's talk about it at dinner in the evening. ā
Fan Linxuan and Xu Yuan were both students in Chen Huan's team in "The Voice", the two were teammates, and the two of them who were close in age were also very good after they met, and they have been in contact since "The Voice". Part of the reason why Xu Yuan took the initiative to come to Qi Jia's studio was that he wanted to take the opportunity to meet Xiao Yao and Fan Linxuan, two old acquaintances. Seeing that Xiao Yao was to add an invitation to reminisce about the past, and seeing Fan Linxuan was simply chatting between sisters.
"Okay. Xiao Yao nodded and smiled, "Fan Linxuan has a business activity today, and she is not here now, but she should be free at night, and I will call her later." ā
"Yo, you know Fan Fan's itinerary very well. Xu Yuan said with a smile.
"Of course, I can be regarded as a small boss, and of course I must keep track of the whereabouts of my generals. Xiao Yao said unashamedly.
"Okay, you're amazing. Let's talk about the chorus," Xu Yuan gave Xiao Yao a thumbs up again, turned to Gong Chen and began to get down to business, "Gong Chen, do you have any thoughts on the song?" What is this?The score of your candidate repertoire?" Xu Yuan found that Gong Chen, who was sitting back at the table, had several blank pieces of paper scattered on the table in front of him.
"No, this is Xiao Yao's conceptual drawing of my costume and mask during the performance. Gong Chen replied with a smile.
"Xiao Yao, you also design costumes and masks?" Xu Yuan said as he looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.
"I can't talk about costume design, but I'm also a photographer, and I have some experience in clothing styling and clothing matching. Xiao Yao smiled, "When Chen Yuhan sang with me in the show, I helped her get her outfit, including accessories, don't you remember? I now belong to Gong Chen's private team to participate in that show, and I am responsible for her mask and performance costumes." ā
If you want to talk about a real fashion designer, Xiao Yao really can't talk about it. But as a photographer, Xiao Yao has worked with a lot of designers, and he has also seen what the concept map of fashion design looks like, and it is naturally not difficult for Xiao Yao, who has good painting skills, to draw a picture. There are a lot of classic fashion clothes and shapes that I have seen in my past and present lives, and Xiao Yaodong has put together some of his own understanding and ideas, so far many girls have designed the shapes and costumes of the performance, and on the whole, they are quite good. In this show, the audience can't see the singer's face, in addition to looking at the mask is looking at the clothes, since Xiao Yao has taken on the task of designing the mask, he has also taken care of Gong Chen's performance costume styling.
"The small boss of the company personally designs the mask and costume for you, and this treatment... It's literal. Xu Yuan said to Gong Chen, "I'm even more envious of you now." ā
"If you don't jump to our studio, you can enjoy this treatment. Xiao Yao smiled and quipped, "Fan Linxuan has also enjoyed it." ā
"Forget it, Mr. Chen Huan is now the art director of our company, he takes good care of me, I am not a traitor!" Xu Yuan said this, as if he was afraid that Gong Chen would misunderstand something, so he quickly added, "Our company did not fabricate and hype my scandal without my consent." If the company doesn't apologize to me first, I can't do anything sorry for the company. ā
"Tease you, do you really believe it?" Xiao Yao said with a smile and shrugging his shoulders. He knew that Xu Yuan was signed into his record company by Chen Huan, the mentor of the show, after participating in "The Voice", and within half a year after the end of the show last year, except for Fan Linxuan and himself, the two champions and runners-up, released a new album, only Xu Yuan released a new single among all the other students. You must know that Xu Yuan didn't even enter the final four after being eliminated by herself, which is enough to show that the company values her, and she is unlikely to change jobs.
"I said you're too unprofessional," Xu Yuan said with some embarrassment, "What a good singer-songwriter, you don't help her write songs in Gong Chen's team, but you go to do some styling design?" Speaking of this, Xu Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Anyway, Gong Chen's chorus song between me and Gong Chen hasn't settled yet, why don't you write us a new song and let us go to the show to sing together?"
"Do you want to help you two write solo songs again?" Xiao Yao said with a roll of his eyes.
"Okay. That's what you said. Xu Yuan said immediately.
"I agree. Gong Chen also nodded with a smile.
"Iā" Xiao Yao glared.
