Chapter 564: Internet Memes
Xiao Yao has been in a lot of crews when he was a child, and when he grew up, he directed and filmed short films and MVs, acted in movies and TV series, and is very familiar with the operation of the camera, even if he is a cameraman, it is no problem. The year before last, the videographer was not found in Hong Wei's team, and now he has seen two reality shows with follow-ups, and he has a better understanding of the position and state when working with the cameraman, and there is no problem in hiding from the sandbank.
After Jiang Kailin found out that Xiao Yao didn't come in with her, she found out very early that Xiao Yao was pretending to be her cameraman, but Jiang Kailin didn't demolish Xiao Yao on the spot. Jiang Kailin, who guessed that Xiao Yao didn't want to be exposed in front of Shazhou now, didn't talk to Shazhou for too long, but just said goodbye to Shazhou for a while after politely greeting him, and returned to his lounge with his team.
After returning to the lounge, Xiao Yao returned the camera to the cameraman of Jiang Kailin's follow-up team, and sat in the corner of the room with his makeup case. Whenever other singers came to Jiang Kailin's lounge, Xiao Yao picked up the makeup case and put it on his lap to open it, bowed his head and fiddled with the cosmetics inside, but no one found out.
An hour before the start of the recording, all the singers arrived, and the rehearsal was over, and the staff of the program team came in to inform Jiang Kailin to go down to the first floor to assemble and draw lots for the order of appearance.
This time, Xiao Yao did not pretend to go with the cameraman, but stayed alone in the lounge waiting for Jiang Kailin.
After some time, Jiang Kailin and Wu You came back with a follow-up team. After coming in, Jiang Kailin also showed Xiao Yao the lottery number. This time, Jiang Kailin drew the fourth place to play, which can be regarded as a very good appearance. In addition to Jiang Kailin's own lottery order, Wu You also told Xiao Yao about the appearance order of several other singers.
After deciding on the appearance order, the singers began to make preparations for the stage. Jiang Kailin first went to the dressing room to change into a performance costume, and then sat down in front of the dresser and asked Xiao Yao to put on makeup for her. During this time, no other singers came to visit the door, and Xiao Yao also stayed peacefully until the recording began.
As soon as the recording began, the TVs in the various lounges were turned on. Jiang Kailin was the fourth to appear, and there were almost two and a half performances in front of him, and Xiao Yao watched the live broadcast on TV with Jiang Kailin in the lounge.
"By the way, I've watched all the previous shows this season, and I always have a small question in my heart," Seeing the host making the opening introduction, Xiao Yao turned his head and asked Wu Youdao, "Why is the host of this season not called the host, but called the speaker." ”
"It's not because of you!" Wu You said with a smile, "How can there be so many first-class and second-class Mandarin speakers among the singers, who can speak tongue twisters and off-script hosts?" With you in front of you, other singers are embarrassed to call themselves hosts, so the program team has changed its name to the speaker of the series, otherwise I am afraid that I will not find a guest who is willing to come on stage to make a guest host. ”
"This is my pot?" Xiao Yao pointed to himself in surprise, "The hosts in this show are all cameos by singers!
"You won't, netizens will!" Wu You said, "You don't care, but some people may care!"
"The Singer" has a tradition of having competing singers guest appear to host the newspaper introduction, and this season is no exception. However, because Xiao Yao did too well as a guest host in the show the year before last, the two competing singers who successively guest hosted last year were complained by netizens that the gap between their hosting skills and Xiao Yao was too big, and the program team simply made some changes in this regard when it was revised this year. In the final, in the program before the finals, the guest appearance of the competing singer was not called the host, but was changed to the program speaker.
"But your speaker this season is not the most standard Mandarin among the singers this season!" Xiao Yao said, pointing to the TV screen.
The first speaker of this season is a female singer named Lin Huijun, from Treasure Island. Her Chinese is relatively standard, and her accent has the unique taste of Baodao girls, which is also very distinctive. At present, the show has been recorded in the seventh episode, and as the first singer, she has not been eliminated, so the speaker of today's competition is still her.
"I'm not a host anymore, so I don't have to find the most standard Mandarin!" Wu You said with a smile.
"Cut~ You don't choose a guest host at all to take the standard of Mandarin speaking as the primary consideration. Xiao Yao pouted and said, "Do netizens' comments have such a big impact? Your name change is clearly a gimmick with the revision of the show, but you threw the pot on my head, you are really unkind!"
While the two were chatting, Lin Huijun on the stage finished the opening speech and began to introduce the competition song of the first singer to appear.
"Let's introduce the first competing singer. The competition songs he brought to you tonight have a lot to do with our show. The first appearance of this song was on the stage of our show, and the appearance time was the year before last!" Lin Huijun looked at the hand card and introduced.
"The first appearance on our show the year before last?That must be your song!" Wu You turned his head to look at Xiao Yao and said, "Can you guess which one?"
During the recording of the "Singer" program last year, the program team contacted Xiao Yao for the performance copyright of his song in order to compete as a singer. Xiao Yao has no opinion on the singers in this show covering his own songs, so in order to avoid too much trouble talking about one song after another, he simply instructed Fang to still authorize the copyright of all the songs under his name to the program team. Pay for a song with a song, just pay the bill directly. There were singers on last year's "Singer" who covered Xiao Yao's songs, so theoretically speaking, Xiao Yao didn't know which song Xiao Yao was going to sing by the first competing singer.
"The one that is suitable for him to sing is most likely "Leaving People"!" Xiao Yao turned his head to look at Wu You and said, "What I am more concerned about is that this is not deliberately arranged by your program team, right?
The first competing singer to appear is a male singer from Baodao, named Li Chuanze, who is in his forties this year. His most popular time was more than ten years ago, and he has been relatively quiet for more than ten years, so there are not too many of his masterpieces, and there are only about three or four songs that mainland audiences are familiar with. Xiao Yao hadn't seen him in private, but he had listened to his songs and knew him as a person. In terms of his singing style, among the songs that Xiao Yao sang on "Singer" the year before last, the most suitable song for him to sing is "Leaving People", which is not difficult to guess.
Xiao Yao is more concerned about whether Li Chuanze's singing of his song is from the instructions of the program team. After all, Jiang Kailin's follow-up team went to Shencheng to shoot daily tidbits, and even if the program team didn't know that he would come to the scene of "Singer", they knew that Jiang Kailin was going to sing the new song written by Xiao Yao for her this time. After this episode is broadcast, Xiao Yao will definitely become a topic of "Singer", and other singers can also follow the popularity of singing his old songs. This is good for both the program team and the singer himself.
"I don't know, but I don't think so. Wu You shook his head and said, "We talked about you with Ellie and Jiang Jun just now, and they didn't look like they knew you were coming. If the program team only tells some singers, they won't just tell Li Chuanze and not tell Mr. Shazhou, who has a better relationship with you. If Mr. Shazhou knew that you were coming, he would definitely know that you were here with Kailin, and it shouldn't have been so easy to hide when you were pretending to be a videographer just now. ”
"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, relieved in his heart.
If it's just Li Chuanze singing his songs alone, it's nothing, and there were also singers who adapted Xiao Yao's songs on last year's "Singer". Xiao Yao is worried that the "Singer" program will have another special concert of Xiao Yao's works, or the episode when he appeared on the stage of "Singer".
"Applause, please be the first competing singer~ "Leaving People"!" Lin Huijun turned around and stretched out his hand to the back of the stage.
"It's really "Leaving People"!" Jiang Kailin clapped her hands and laughed.
"Do you know the most famous cover version of my song "Leaving People"?" Xiao Yao suddenly remembered something and asked Jiang Kailin with a smile.
"I really don't know!" Jiang Kailin shook her head.
"The majority of netizens and water friends, classmate Chen in the third class of civil engineering is fake, and the "Leaving People" sung by Brother Li Chuanze is real!" Xiao Yao turned his head to look at the camera and said.
"What are you talking about?" Jiang Kailin asked with a puzzled expression, "What is classmate Chen of the third class of civil engineering?"
"Some time ago, there was a very hot topic on the Internet, an online anchor pretended to be a girl to fix a boy who was said to be a scumbag, but the scumbag sang "Leaving People", but it conquered the anchor and many netizens, and some people said that the classmate sang better than me!" Xiao Yao said, "The so-called scumbag is a student surnamed Chen in the third class of civil engineering in a certain school." It is said that there are still brokerage companies that want to sign a contract with him and let him make his debut. ”
"Is there such a thing?" Jiang Kailin and Wu You both asked, "Really?"
"What's really? Internet marketing, it's just a hype with a script!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "but it's quite fun to be a topic." It's already a meme. After this episode of the show is launched on the video website, there will inevitably be people in the barrage who say that classmate Chen is a stalk!"
While speaking, Li Chuanze had already appeared on the stage, and the band was ready. The prelude music of the song came from the TV, and everyone quieted down and watched Li Chuanze's performance intently.
Li Chuanze has made a lot of changes in the arrangement, soundtrack and performance of this song. During the performance, the whistling in Xiao Yao's original version was gone, and in the arrangement and soundtrack, the most characteristic saxophone accompaniment was changed to violin accompaniment, plus his age is quite different from Xiao Yao, and the timbre is different from Xiao Yao, so the song he performed is quite different from Xiao Yao's original version, giving the audience a different experience.
Although it is different from Xiao Yao's version, Li Chuanze's version is also very enjoyable to listen to, and the overall effect is very good.
"What a singer! Sing so steadily! It's so comfortable to listen to!" After Li Chuanze finished singing, Xiao Yao also applauded.
Li Chuanze left the stage amid the cheers of the audience, and the speaker Lin Huijun returned to the stage.
"Thank you, Brother Chuanze, his performance just now is really exciting!" Lin Huijun, who returned to the stage, praised Li Chuanze's performance and introduced the second competing singer, "The second competing singer who appeared next brought you a very special song. It's a two-dimensional song!"
Xiao Yao looked at the TV screen in surprise, then shook his head and said, "I can't imagine it!
Xiao Yao knew that after Li Chuanze, the second person to appear was his old acquaintance Shazhou.
"And this song is not only a two-dimensional song, but also sung by a computer-synthesized virtual voice, and the song title is "Bell Bottoms"!" Lin Huijun then introduced the situation of the song, turned his head and waved his hand, "Let's invite the next competing singer." ”
"I'll go!" Xiao Yao smiled at the camera lens, "Teacher Shazhou, you are going to become a new generation of barrage male gods! Also, congratulations on joining the family of ghost animal stars!"
"Duan You will not be able to grow a single inch on the expedition!, everyone hurry up and take action!" Xiao Yao finally clenched his fists and said.
Both worlds are the same in many places. There are also vocaloids in this world, but the virtual singers it created are not Hatsune Miku and Luo Tianyi, but other images and names.
"Bell Bottoms" is a song by the world's Chinese virtual singers. Flared pants were a popular symbol in China in the eighties and nineties of the last century, and the name alone is very attractive. The lyrics of this song are very simple and interesting, and the melody is also very brainwashing, and it is definitely a two-dimensional brainwashing divine comedy. After being released on the barrage website last year, the song became extremely popular on the Internet and among young people, and last year there was even a well-known singer in the traditional entertainment industry who performed the song at the New Year's Eve party of Shonan Satellite TV.
This is not the first time that this song has been covered by a traditional singer, but the one who sang this song at the Shonan Satellite TV New Year's Eve party is a young female singer who is "very good at playing". And Shazhou, as a more traditional male singer over forty years old, his cover of this song is much more interesting than that young female singer.
As an online anchor, Xiao Yao, who has watched a lot of live barrages and is also very familiar with barrage websites, is very clear about the temperament of a specific group of netizens. No matter what kind of brainwashing comedy Shazhou adapts this brainwashing comedy, as long as he sings this song on "Singer", his singing video will definitely appear on the barrage website for the first time, and then there will definitely be countless ghost animal versions made by netizens.
"Do you want Teacher Shazhou to become an Internet celebrity?" Wu You said with a smile.
"Is there a generation gap between me and you?" Jiang Kailin covered her forehead and said, "Why can't I understand what you're saying?"
"These are all memes. Wu You said to Jiang Kailin with a smile, "Xiao Yao has been an online anchor, and the number of exchanges and interactions with netizens is not comparable to that of ordinary acting stars, and he knows much more Internet jokes and Internet memes than other acting stars." It's normal that you don't know some things, and that you don't understand some things. ”
"Yes," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I told netizens, netizens just need to understand what I'm talking about! It's okay to throw some stalks, and strive to make the video of this episode of the show become the one with the largest number of barrages on the video website after it is launched. ”
