Chapter 102: I Want to Learn to Sing

After the top four mentor teams and the top 16 of the program are decided, there is a relatively long period of time for repair. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info to the next Top 16 recording, there was an interval of about 20 days, that is, about three weeks to prepare the competition song for the instructors and students.

The top 16 competition method is still in the form of a two-by-two duel, first from the top 16 to the top eight, and then the top eight PK to determine the top four, so to enter the top four from the top 16, everyone has to go through two rounds of competition, that is, in these three weeks, each tutor must prepare at least two songs for the students.

The number of participants was reduced from 14 in 7 groups to 4 in a single group. For the mentors, three weeks to prepare two songs is not a stressful time. And twenty days is also a relatively long time, several mentors also have their own mess of things, it is impossible to stay in Hangzhou for such a long time, so after the list of the top 16 is released, the eliminated students can return to their own lives, and the four students who are promoted will be led and arranged by the mentors themselves to arrange follow-up preparations.

Shen Na's home and the location of her company are both in Yanjing, so after the recording, Shen Na discussed with several students and wanted to bring them all back to her home base in Yanjing.

Several students naturally had no opinion on Shen Na's arrangement. In order to participate in this program, all the students have already made pre-arrangements. As a student, during the summer vacation, those freelancers who are purely engaged in music are not restricted themselves, and these two are not affected. And those who have their own careers have also said hello to the company early and asked for a long vacation, so naturally the mentor said that where to go, you can follow where to go.

After returning to Yanjing, Shen Na applied for a rehearsal room at the company's headquarters to be used as a practice room for the students, and at the same time, for convenience, she arranged the three students to a four-star hotel not far from the company's headquarters. Of course, the program team has not been indifferent to them in the past 20 days, and they also need to shoot some tidbits of their practice during this period, so the program team not only installed a huge program logo in their rehearsal room, but also helped Shen Na bear some of the students' expenses accordingly.

Originally, Shen Na hoped that Xiao Yao would also live in the hotel with the other three students in the past twenty days, but considering that Xiao Yao's family was in Yanjing, she didn't force it, but just suggested. Of course, Xiao Yao couldn't stand that he was in Yanjing, but he still stayed in the hotel for more than 20 days, so he still went home to live.

However, Xiao Yao did not live in it, and there were more than three students in Shen Na's team who stayed in the hotel. Among the eliminated students in Shen Na's team, several guys who were rich and free, and at the same time had a particularly good relationship with the promoted students, followed Shen Na and them to Yanjing, and also stayed in this hotel.

Shen Na happily welcomed their arrival. After all, it is impossible for her to spend all her time and energy on these four people in the past twenty days. In addition to practicing, they also have a lot of free time, not to mention that after Shen Na came to Yanjing, she first gave them three days off to let them relax. Xiao Yao is okay to say, since the other three students from other places have come to Yanjing, they must have to go around Yanjing to have fun and go shopping. Someone accompanied the group activities, and she was also relieved.

Since the practice room is within the company, in order to facilitate the entry and exit of the students, Shen Na also specially arranged for her assistant to be responsible for picking up the three students at the hotel on the practice days and leading them into the company. Xiao Yao doesn't live in a hotel, so naturally he can't enjoy this kind of intimate service, but he has no problem getting in and out of Shen Na's company and practice room. Because Shen Na's record company is his father Xiao Siqi's previous owner, China Entertainment. Before Xiao Siqi's contract expired and he went out to become independent in the studio, he didn't bring him here. Now even if they go out independently, they maintain a close cooperative relationship with each other, so not only can he come and go freely here, but he is also very familiar with this place.

However, even if Xiao Yao didn't stay in the hotel, the team members didn't plan to let him go easily. Shen Na gave everyone a holiday because she had work to deal with. Xiao Yao is a middle school student on summer vacation, and he has no work to do. Since Shen Na didn't have time, everyone arrested Xiao Yao, a local strong man, and asked him to be a free tour guide for everyone for two days.

During the three-day holiday in total, everyone pulled Xiao Yao to accompany everyone around for two days. On the third day, everyone kindly let Xiao Yao go and let him go back to accompany his family.

During the daytime, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying also have work to do, and Xiao Yao goes home to live at night, so naturally there is no need to accompany his parents extra. So on the third day of time with his family, Xiao Yao naturally gave it to his grandfather. He still remembers the day he returned to China in the car, but he promised his grandfather Xiao Chengru to accompany him to the play. As for Sun Tingting, she was already familiar with the players in Shen Na's team when she was in Hangzhou, and she accompanied everyone to play in the past two days.

Hearing that the eldest grandson really took the time to accompany him, an old man, to listen to Peking Opera, the old man Xiao Chengru was naturally very happy. I booked a ticket early at the Liyuan Theater where I often go, and waited for Xiao Yao to go with him to enjoy the quintessence of the country.

The Liyuan Theater where Xiao Chengru booked tickets is not open, only in the afternoon and in the evening. Because Xiao Yao had to go home at night, Xiao Chengru booked a ticket for the afternoon. After lunch that day, Xiao Yao took a taxi to the courtyard where Xiao Chengru lived, and after picking up his grandfather Xiao Chengru, who was waiting, the two took a taxi to the Liyuan Theater again.

Although Peking Opera is known as the quintessence of the country, it is relatively niche at present, and the audience is relatively fixed, with the elderly accounting for the vast majority. The team of this Liyuan Theater is relatively famous in the Peking Opera industry, and there are slightly more people who come to see the play, Xiao Chengru often comes, and he also knows and makes friends with many like-minded people in it. Therefore, when he took Xiao Yao into the Liyuan Theater and sat in the audience, some old friends in the seats next to him also greeted him one after another.

"Xiao Lao, this is your grandson, right? Nowadays, there are very few young people who are willing to accompany us old men to watch Peking Opera. A silver-haired old man next to him said to Xiao Chengru.

"Yes, but my grandson is not bad, he is more interested in the traditional culture of China, he has been learning calligraphy with me since he was a child, and he can play erhu, so he can listen to it. Xiao Chengru smiled and said, "But even if he is like this, he has talked to me about the conditions, saying that he only listens to the jokes of the Allegro, and he can't listen to the slows." ”

"That is, today's young people, with a fast pace of life, how can they spend so much time listening to Peking Opera like us. The silver-haired old man said, "But your grandson is already very good, not to mention Allegro and Slow Movement, it is rare for him to come." You see, there are not many people under the age of forty in this scene, let alone as young as your grandson. By the way, how old is the little guy? What do you call it?" The last sentence was asked by looking at Xiao Yao.

"This is Uncle Liu. Xiao Chengru introduced Xiao Yao.

"Hello Uncle Liu, my name is Xiao Yao. Eighteen years old next month. Xiao Yao said politely.

"It's only eighteen, so small. The silver-haired Uncle Liu seemed to be very interested in Xiao Yao, and then asked, "Let me ask you, do you understand this Peking Opera?"

"This... You should be able to understand it," Xiao Yao said with some hesitation, "Although they sing slower, they still sing in Chinese." ”

"Hehe," Uncle Liu smiled, "the little guy is quite interesting." I mean, I want to ask you, can you understand what they are singing? For example, the opening part of "Drumming and Scolding Cao" in a moment, do you know this story?"

"I know this," Xiao Yao nodded, ""Drumming and Scolding Cao" tells the story of Mi Heng Mi Zhengping, the first dead expert in history, beating the drum and scolding Cao Cao. ”

"The first death expert in history?, did you seal it?" Uncle Liu was stunned.

"Isn't it?" Xiao Yao smiled, "He is very talented, and he is very famous when he is young." It's a pity that the emotional intelligence is too low, arrogant and arrogant, and empty-eyed. Kong Rong recommended him to Cao Cao, and he scolded Cao Cao. Cao Cao cherished his reputation and did not kill him, and sent him to Liu Biao, he began to scold Liu Biao again, so that Liu Biao couldn't stand him, and sent him to Huang Zu, and he continued to scold Huang Zu. Cao Cao and Liu Biao both wanted their reputation of loving and cherishing talents to not kill him, but Huang Zu was a big old man, but he didn't have the same cultivation skills as Cao Cao and Liu Biao, so he naturally wiped Mi Heng with a knife. Following which leader scolds which leader, isn't this death? And being driven away twice doesn't take a long lesson, so I think he is the first in history. ”

"Old Xiao, this kid is good. Uncle Liu gave Xiao Chengru a thumbs up and said, "A Mi Heng's life knows so clearly, and if they were all people of their age just now, they were not endorsed at all, and there is a lot of historical knowledge in this head." ”

"Hehe," Xiao Chengru smiled proudly, "This kid didn't go to kindergarten when he was a child, so he followed me to learn calligraphy and painting, and pestered me to tell him historical stories when he was idle, so he knows a little bit about history." ”

"So you taught it well. Uncle Liu nodded, "But also, your skills are higher than those of any kindergarten teacher." ”

"I can't say that, I will also teach me to read, write, draw and paint, and I can't sing and dance. Xiao Chengru laughed.

"I remember that I didn't tell you about Mi Heng when I was a child, and even if I did, I shouldn't have talked about it in such detail, how do you know so clearly?" After dealing with Old Man Liu, Xiao Chengru asked Xiao Yao in a low voice.

"I knew that I came to watch "Drumming and Scolding Cao" today, so I read some information last night. Xiao Yao also laughed quietly, "Don't you like to hear people praise your eldest grandson, so of course I have to prepare to show your face in front of the old man." When you took me to the park to practice boxing, didn't you think the same way?"

"You kid, you're really a good person. Xiao Chengru said with a smile.

Not long after, the show began on stage.

In his previous life, Xiao Yao's impression of Peking Opera was only the wonderful "The Horse Master Looks at it closely" in "The Case of Quanmei". Although "Drumming and Scolding Cao" is a traditional repertoire of Peking Opera veterans, Xiao Yao has never heard of it. At this time, he sat with Xiao Chengru, and listened to it calmly, and he also heard some flavors.

Although Xiao Chengru was very happy that Xiao Yao was willing to accompany him to listen to Peking Opera, he still hoped in his heart that Xiao Yao would like this traditional quintessence, not just to accompany him. So in the process of listening to the play, Xiao Chengru also paid attention to Xiao Yao's expression from time to time. When he saw Xiao Yao's unusually focused expression, Xiao Chengru was really happy from the bottom of his heart.

But what Xiao Chengru didn't know was that Xiao Yao's thoughts at this time had already flown to other places. The only thing Xiao Yao can be regarded as a job at the moment is the competition behind "The Voice of China". He boasted that he would be all original in the future, and he was worried about the song selection, and now listening to Peking Opera here, he unconsciously remembered a few songs containing Peking Opera singing in his previous life.

Therefore, after the end of the show, Xiao Yao grabbed Xiao Chengru and said: "Grandpa, you are also a senior ticket holder in the Liyuan industry, you must know a lot of Peking Opera masters, right?"

"I know a few people," Xiao Chengru smiled, "What do you want to do?"

"I want to learn to sing. Xiao Yao said directly.

"You want to learn to sing?" Xiao Chengru was slightly surprised, and then said happily, "Okay." Although you are a little old now, it is difficult to sing it, but Peking Opera is the quintessence of the country, even if it is cultivated as a hobby. ”

"But the Peking Opera industry is divided into corners, Shengdan Jingmo ugly five lines, even if it is suitable for your Shengjiao, it is also divided into old students, red students, small students, and martial arts, different people are good at different roles, you have to tell me which one you want to learn, so I can find a teacher for you." Xiao Chengru continued.

"No, I don't sing raw horns," Xiao Yao shook his head. "I'm going to learn to sing!" (To be continued.) )
