Chapter 246: "Coming Home"
After the video thing was done, it was almost time for the recording of "Singer" again. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As usual, Xiao Yao still did not appear in the eyes of the media and fans at Shonan Airport, and quietly arrived in Shonan again. For Xiao Yao's style, the program team has also become accustomed to it. This time, Mei Fang's film crew did not go to the airport to pick up the airport, but met Xiao Yao directly in the hotel where the singer stayed, and then took him to Shonan TV with him.
Cheng Xi is different from the "Women's Music Workshop", she did not announce to her fans in advance the news that she was going to the "Singer" program to be a guest, nor did she go with Xiao Yao, but took the six backup dancers from the dance troupe to set off a day in advance, and arrived in Xiangnan in a very low-key manner. When Xiao Yao arrived the next day, they did not go to the airport or hotel to meet Xiao Yao, but met Xiao Yao directly on Shonan TV.
Today is the kicking tournament, and the last kicking singer of the season joins. After Tao Ran announced the results last week, he told everyone that the last kicking singer was directly stationed in the room of the singer's lounge, and several participating singers couldn't wait to know who today's kicking singer was, so everyone arrived very early. As a result, all seven singers who participated in this competition for the first time this season gathered before the end of their respective rehearsals.
The Kick Singer is the earliest of all the competing singers today. After arriving, she did not stay nervously in her room, but sat in the hall on the first floor with a bit of noise, waiting for and welcoming the arrival of every online singer.
Xiao Yao won the third place in the last game, and this time the rehearsal time was arranged in the middle position, so he didn't arrive very early, and when he entered the rest hall on the first floor, there were already four singers sitting in the hall. Because the kicking singers stayed on the first floor to welcome the arrival of each singer, the singers who arrived first did not stay in their rooms, but stayed in the hall on the first floor with the kicking singers. Therefore, counting the one who is rehearsing in the studio, Xiao Yao is the second-to-last singer.
"Hello Xiao Yao!" After Xiao Yao pushed the door in, the kicking singer took the initiative to stand up from the sofa and stretched out his hand to meet Xiao Yao with a smile.
"Hello Sister Wei!" Xiao Yao hurriedly took two quick steps, stretched out his hand and shook hands with the kicking singer who came up, "Welcome to the kicking hall!"
Today's kicking singer is named Tian Wei, who is less than 20 years old and close to 30 years old, and is a female singer of the Mesozoic generation who has debuted for six or seven years. If you are a singer alone, it is also Xiao Yao's predecessor. Of course, in this show, even regardless of age, it is unlikely that there will be a rookie singer who debuted later than Xiao Yao in the music scene.
"Welcome, aren't you not very friendly to the singers who kick the gym?" Tian Wei quipped with a smile.
"How is that possible? I'm also a kicking singer myself!" Xiao Yao said seriously.
"Hehe," Tian Wei smiled, turned around and took a cardboard box from the agent's hand and handed it to Xiao Yaodao, "Little greeting gift! Don't shirk it, everyone has it!"
It seems that the "crooked atmosphere" of gift-giving brought by Hong Wei has been carried forward by Wei Shile last time, and it has almost become an unwritten rule. It's just that Hong Wei, Xiao Siqi, Xiao Yao and others gave gifts to each singer's room, and Wei Shile and Tian Wei, the newcomers who gave gifts when they met for the first time, were all sent directly in front of everyone in the hall.
"Thank you!" Xiao Yao bowed down and took it, and said with a mischievous smile, "You are too polite! Actually, we don't have a rule that newcomers must give a gift when they come in." ”
"Where, where," Tian Wei smiled and waved her hand, "I've watched the last round of the kicking gym competition! I don't want you to start a concert here later, and send me two pieces like "The Truth of Leaving" and "Tears". Of course, I want to curry favor with you!"
"Don't worry," Liang Xueying walked over and hugged Tian Wei's shoulders with a smile and said, "The last time Xiao Yao held a concert in the show, it was to release his piano music album for promotion, and he just happened to meet a kicking singer, and now that his piano music album has been released, he shouldn't be interested in giving us another concert." ”
Liang Xueying and Tian Wei debuted through the same music talent show, although the two of them are not contestants in the same year, and the age difference is a few years apart, but both are from Sichuan Province, and they also graduated from Sichuan Yin, they are both fellow villagers and alumni, and the two who are also singers are also a pair of close friends who have a good personal relationship in the music industry.
"By the way, I forgot to congratulate you," Liang Xueying looked at Xiao Yao again, "I released an album and two singles in a row a week ago, and the initial results and trends are great, and it looks like it's going to be a big hit!"
"Yes, you kid, you move fast enough, you release an album and two singles in a week, and they all look like they're going to be a big seller, it's good enough!" Hong Wei also walked over and patted Xiao Yao's shoulder.
Qin Xiaodong was about to come over and congratulate Xiao Yao as well, but heard Tian Wei frown and say, "That's not necessarily!"
"Huh?" several people looked at Tian Wei strangely, "What do you mean?"
"I'm not saying that Xiao Yao's albums and singles may not be a big hit!" Tian Wei saw everyone's eyes, and knew that everyone had misunderstood, and quickly explained, "I mean that Xiao Yao will not hold concerts in the show anymore." ”
"I remember Xiao Yao playing guitar in the show during the first round of the gym competition, and two weeks later he released a pure music album of original guitar songs. Tian Wei continued, "I played the piano in the second round of the gym competition, and I will release a piano music album two weeks later. As far as I know, he doesn't only know the guitar and piano, but he also performed harmonica, erhu and xun on "The Voice" the year before last. Who knows if he'll have another music album coming out in two weeks?"
"Wouldn't it? This kid still has a music album to come out?" Hong Wei glared.
"I don't know," Tian Wei smiled, "It's just my guess, whether it's or not, anyway, I think it's possible, that's why I said it's not necessarily!"
"Is there one?" Hong Wei and the others turned their eyes to Xiao Yao.
"Uh~" Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a smile and said, "It's really there!"
"Isn't it?, you really have it!" everyone looked at Xiao Yao in surprise. Hong Wei asked directly: "What kind of musical instrument is going to be released this time?"
"This is a miscellaneous album," Xiao Yao said, "there are ocarina, harmonica, saxophone, and a few pieces that are mixed together by several instruments, which do not highlight the pure music of a certain instrument, and these pieces are not necessarily specially composed for a certain instrument, so it is a miscellaneous album." ”
"Oh, I'll go, you guy is really a demon!" Hong Wei looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Is there a musical instrument you don't know?"
"Of course, there are so many musical instruments in the world, where can I learn them. Xiao Yao smiled, "For example, I won't be able to play a very popular instrument like the violin!"
"That's because his girlfriend's violin is too good, and he is afraid of being compared, so he deliberately didn't learn it. Xiao Siqi, who came back from the rehearsal, pushed the door and came in, and heard everyone's discussions, so he didn't hesitate to reveal Xiao Yao's bottom.
"Dad, can you not tell this kind of big truth in front of so many people?" Xiao Yao turned around and smiled bitterly, "Let's save some face for your son." ”
Everyone was amused by the conversation between the father and son, and Liang Xueying proposed: "The harmonica was performed last time, why don't you give us a live performance of the ocarina or saxophone, anyway, it's not the first time that you have a concert in the show, and Director Tao has no opinion, so we will give you another opportunity to advertise your album in a bright and bright way." ”
"yes, it's still early anyway, and it's nothing, so let's show us a hand. Tian Wei also agreed.
"Xiao Yao, Tian Wei is here for the first time, and she is a guest. You have to meet the customer's request. Hong Wei also said.
"The so-called thing is only three, I've played in the show twice, and I'm still here, okay?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"It's not more than three, it's no more than three times, three times is just right!" Hong Wei said.
"Sister Hong, it's not like that. Xiao Yao said.
"I know that you are the champion and read a lot," Hong Wei glared at Xiao Yao and said, "But you don't care how I explain it!
"Okay," Xiao Yao nodded, and said helplessly, "But I didn't prepare today, and I didn't bring a musical instrument." I don't need an ocarina or a saxophone for today's performance!" he really didn't plan to play an instrument in the show today, so he didn't bring an instrument with him at all.
"What's the problem with the instruments? Don't look at what kind of show this is, what kind of place is this?"
Hong Wei said, looked at the corner of the hall where the instruments were placed, and really didn't find the ocarina or saxophone, so he turned his head to look at the on-site director of the film crew and said, "Who, help me ask your Tao director, is there an ocarina or saxophone in the instruments prepared by your program team?"
"I know," Shen Man took the initiative to raise his hand and shouted, "We really don't have such an instrument as the ocarina, but the saxophone is there, and I have seen it in the instrument storage room." "This kind of thing that makes his own singer show off, how could Shen Man let it go.
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and get it!" Hong Wei looked at Shen Man and shook his head.
"Come on!" Shen Man heard this, and immediately ran out of the singer's lounge excitedly and went to the instrument storage room to get the instrument.
It didn't take long for Shen Man to come back with a saxophone. After handing the saxophone to Xiao Yao, Shen Man held a towel in a sealed bag in his other hand and handed it to Xiao Yao and said, "I have simply wiped the place where the mouthpiece is blown." I heard that the saxophone of the program team will consciously remove the mouthpiece and clean and disinfect it after each performance. If you're not at ease, I'll get you another disinfectant towel, and you can wipe it yourself. ”
Unlike the guitar, the saxophone is a wind instrument that comes into direct contact with the mouth like the harmonica, and when it comes to personal hygiene, most of them are dedicated to personal hygiene. Like the one prepared by the program team, it must have been used by others, Shen Man was afraid that Xiao Yao would have concerns in this regard, so he specially found a disinfectant towel.
Xiao Yao thought about it, but still took the towel, removed the mouthpiece, and wiped it inside and out.
"Hey, listen to another concert! everyone who wants to hear it come out quickly!" Hong Wei looked up and shouted to the upstairs room. Because of the film crew on the scene, only the singers and the agents in the show gathered in the hall on the first floor, and the private team members such as agents, assistants, makeup artists, and stylists brought by the singers stayed in the singers' rooms. At Xiao Yao's piano recital last time, the private team members of these singers also listened to them with relish, so this time Hong Wei also called them.
"Yo, Xiao Yao has another concert!"
"Thank you, Sister Hong, for your notice!"
Since the singers were not in the room, the door to the room was not closed. Hong Wei shouted, and the doors of several rooms opened one after another, and the members of the singer's private team walked out of the room with a smile. They didn't go downstairs either, just lying on the railing on the second floor and looking down. There is no entry into the camera footage to interfere with the shooting of pre-match footage, and you can clearly hear the performance downstairs. The last time they heard Xiao Yao play the piano, they all listened to it like this.
After reinstalling the mouthpiece, Xiao Yao held the saxophone in both hands and smiled: "What kind of tune do you play?"
"Can you still order songs?" Liang Xueying smiled, "Then it's better to have an original tune." Liang Xueying also deliberately helped Xiao Yao advertise and increase impression points in the show.
"Okay, then I'll blow an original tune for everyone," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "The name of the tune is ..."GoingHome", go home!"
"Poof~Haha!" As soon as everyone heard the name of Xiao Yao's song, they immediately burst out laughing, and then looked at Tian Wei in unison.
"Don't say that this piece was given to me!" Tian Wei pointed at Xiao Yao with an anxious face.
"This topic is what you brought up, not for you, but for whom?" Qin Xiaodong said with a smile.
"Xiao Yao, it turns out that you really dare to let people get out of the way in front of others!" Hong Wei also said with a smile, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't do this when the results were announced last time?"
"Weiwei, it seems that your meeting gift is for nothing!" Liang Xueying smiled and hugged Tian Weidao.
"Uh~ I didn't seem to say that this song was for Sister Wei. Don't think so badly of me. Xiao Yao grabbed his hair and said, "It's just a tune, if Sister Wei is unhappy, then I'll change it." ”
"Don't, I still want to listen to this song "Go Home" now!" Tian Wei looked at Xiao Yao and said.
"Oh well. Xiao Yao smiled and nodded. I took the mouthpiece into my mouth and blew.
"Coming Home" is a saxophone song composed by the American musician Kenny G. This song is the most widely circulated and famous saxophone song in the world, and countless radio and television stations have taken it as a goodnight song, and it is also the most memorable saxophone song by Xiao Yao. When it comes to saxophone tunes, Xiao Yao's first thought is it.
The melodious and clear saxophone sound sounded, and soon brought everyone into an ethereal and lingering artistic conception. Although Xiao Yao's solo does not have the percussion sounds of other instruments such as shakers and drum kits in the original song to match the delicacy and rigidity of the piece, the soft and non-harsh but penetrating sound quality of the saxophone alone is infectious enough to make everyone in the hall have endless aftertaste.
At the end of the song, everyone forgot to make fun of Tian Wei's thoughts, and sincerely gave Xiao Yao's piece and this performance a round of applause.
