Chapter 194: Appearance
Not long after Hong Wei came out of Zhao Lixun's place, a five-minute countdown to the start of the competition sounded in the singer's rest hall. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Xiao Yao greeted Director Li, who was filming Hong Wei, and left with the camera. You can't watch the rehearsals of other singers, but Xiao Yao, the singers' official performances, must still be watched, and they can't stay in Hong Wei's room all the time.
"Yes, why did the little intern leave?" Hong Wei looked at Xiao Yao who left with some curiosity.
"Taili has assigned him another task. Director Li explained to Hong Wei with a smile.
Back in his temporary lounge, Xiao Yao returned the cameraman to himself and the cameraman of the shooting crew, quickly took off his disguise, went to the dressing room to change into his performance clothes, sat in front of the dressing table and asked the makeup artist of the program team to put on makeup for him, and watched the live broadcast of the studio through the TV in the lounge.
At this time, in the studio, the band was ready, and the audience was all seated. After the five-second countdown to the start of the recording sounded in the live sound, in the cheers of the audience, Zhao Lixun, as the host, was the first to walk out of the backstage passage and stand on the stage.
After taking the stage, Zhao Lixun was very conscientious and read out the sponsor's name word by word in his non-standard, Hong Kong-accented Mandarin as the opening remarks, which immediately attracted a burst of applause with laughter from the audience.
Next, Zhao Lixun lit out the laughter in the audience, laughed at himself in Mandarin, and then began to talk about tonight's kicking game. The main thing is to introduce the rules of the kicking competition to the audience, explaining that the kicking singer must enter the top four to succeed in kicking the gym, otherwise he will be eliminated, and once the kicking singer is successful, then the seventh singer in this competition will be eliminated.
After making a grimace to express his nervousness, Zhao Lixun then introduced the first performance track of tonight's competition. According to the practice of the program, the host will not directly report the name of any singer in the introduction, but will only say the name of the song sung by the singer, which is why Zhao Lixun does not know the name of the singer in the gym. However, Xiao Yao, who disguised himself as a cameraman when the singers drew lots, was also at the scene, and he knew that the first singer to appear was Liang Xueying, a female singer who debuted through a talent competition ten years ago.
Back then, with a beautiful dolphin voice, Liang Xueying had already amazed the music scene as soon as she debuted. At the same time, her appearance conditions are also quite outstanding, and she is definitely a first-class singer with both singing skills and appearance. Now in her early thirties, she is in the best years of her life, and in the first episode of the show, she beat Xiao Siqi and Hong Wei to win the first place of the season, and her strength should not be underestimated. From the bottom of her heart, Xiao Yao can be regarded as her fan.
Liang Xueying chose a folk song that was very popular more than ten years ago. The original singer of the song was a male singer, but the careful adaptation not only made the song suitable for female singing, but also changed it to a "big song" that was very suitable for her singing skills. Among them, a rock-like soundtrack was also added very innovatively, making the relatively "flat" song more undulating.
In the process of listening to her singing, Xiao Yao, who was in the lounge, couldn't help but shake his head and applaud several times, but at this time Xiao Yao was still putting on makeup, and he almost caused the makeup artist to make his face succumb several times. In the end, under the unbearable warning of the makeup artist, Xiao Yao stopped his movements with some restraint.
Starting from Liang Xueying, the next few singers on stage played very well, and I don't know if they really got strength from the gifts and cheers given by Hong Wei before, or they are more familiar with this stage and have more experience in the third issue, anyway, judging from the reaction of the audience, at least it is more enthusiastic than the first issue that Xiao Yao has watched.
"Do you want to see what those singers are talking about now?" After the fourth singer finished singing, Shen Man asked Xiao Yao with a smile.
According to the rules of the program, the singers stay in their rooms before singing, but after the singing, they stay in the rest hall with other singers who have finished singing to watch the performance behind. In the lounge, there is also a camera team shooting, as long as the signal is switched over.
"Okay," Shen Man smiled and picked up the TV remote control on the table and began to operate, "Let's take a look at the magic of Charr TV, split-screen viewing." ”
With Shen Man's operation, a small screen appeared on the TV screen playing the scene in the studio, which showed the scene of several singers who had finished singing in the rest hall. Shen Man pressed a button again, the large and small screens were exchanged, and the voice on the TV became the voice of several singers in the rest hall.
"Are you advertising?" Xiao Yao made a very surprised expression very cooperatively, "It's amazing, you can still play like this?"
"Your expression is too exaggerated!" Shen Man smiled and patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder.
In the TV, Hong Wei, who was the fourth to finish singing, had just walked into the lounge, and the three singers in front of him immediately got up from the sofa to greet him.
After several people congratulated each other on their wonderful performance, Cai Ruoqi suddenly raised her hand and proposed: "Can I go and lock the door of the singer's room?" so that he doesn't have to come out!"
"Good idea, that one, whoever has a lock, let's go and lock the door of the kicking singer's room! Hong Wei immediately said eagerly, "So that no one of us will be eliminated today." ”
At the end of the singing, several singers who were in a much more relaxed mood also made jokes unscrupulously.
"Poof~" Shen Man, who was drinking water, said with a frightened expression, "Teacher Hong won't really do this, right?"
"Don't worry," Xiao Yao glanced at the door of the room and waved his hand down, "It doesn't matter if it's locked." I kicked the door open. No one can lock us up!"
"Kick the door, do you want to be so fierce?" Shen Man took a breath.
"It looks like it's about to start. Xiao Yao looked at the small screen and found that the signal screen in the studio showed that the stage was ready, so he took the remote control and cut the picture in the studio into the main screen.
"You can also operate?" Shen Man looked at Xiao Yao and said.
"This?" Xiao Yao raised the remote control in his hand, "I saw that you would play it after you operated it just now, it's very simple." ”
Xiao Yao deliberately held the remote control in front of the camera and said: "Charr TV split screen display, powerful, easy to operate, just look at it!"
"When I look back, remember to tell Charles TV to calculate the advertising fee for me. After sitting back on the sofa, Xiao Yao instructed Shen Man again.
"That's okay, you're a cow!" Shen Man gave a thumbs up in admiration. This sense of variety show, where is a newcomer who is less than twenty years old?
"It's okay, this one, I played with it when I was five years old. Xiao Yao waved his hand absently.
On the stage of the studio at this time, the fifth person to appear was the host Zhao Lixun, who finished introducing his songs, and did not get off the stage, but sang directly on the stage, and after singing, he stayed on the stage to introduce the song that the sixth singer wanted to sing.
The sixth person to appear is Xiao Yao's father Xiao Siqi, who is also the object of Xiao Yao's greatest attention. Seeing Xiao Siqi on stage, Xiao Yao also put away his jokes and watched it seriously.
In fact, Xiao Siqi's early style is somewhat similar to the treasure island singer Lin Qingyuan who was eliminated in the second phase, but since Xiao Yao was four years old, Xiao Siqi released the album "The Most Beautiful", whether it is creative style or singing style, Xiao Siqi has begun to become more diverse.
"Uncle Cao!" Before Xiao Siqi's singing began, Xiao Yao recognized an acquaintance.
"Who?, there are still your relatives in the band?" Shen Man said curiously.
"No," Xiao Yao said, pointing to a musician sitting behind Xiao Siqi, "that is Mr. Cao Zhongyun, a famous master of ocarina making and playing in China." I didn't expect my dad to invite him too. ”
This master was met by their father and son after participating in "Everyday Upward", Xiao Yao naturally remembered. Later, because they helped Xiao Yao sell the copyright of the film and television soundtrack and interlude of the ocarina song "The Original Scenery of Hometown" and the song "Insects Fly", Xiao Siqi and Cao Zhongyun also became familiar with it. More than ten years have passed, and the two have become friends who can talk to each other.
Tonight, Xiao Siqi chose a pop rock song from the 90s in the world. While retaining the excitement of the chorus, the whole song was adapted to be more lyrical. In the prelude and main song, Xiao Siqi also added the soundtrack of the ocarina, and invited Cao Zhongyun, a master of ocarina making and performance, to accompany him on the spot.
It's just that Xiao Yao regretted that he couldn't fully appreciate the song of his father Xiao Siqi, and before Xiao Siqi sang the first chorus, he was urged by the filming director Mei Fang to go to the backstage passage of the studio stage to wait. Their makeshift lounge and studio are not on the same floor, and it used to take some time.
When Xiao Yao stood in the backstage passage of the stage to prepare, Xiao Siqi in front of him just finished his singing. The singers came out of the passage backstage of the stage and left from the front of the stage, so Xiao Yao couldn't meet his father face-to-face in the studio.
"Next up is the last competing singer tonight. He's our first kick singer of the season. After the applause of the audience stopped, Zhao Lixun took the stage to introduce the last singer, and he also deliberately said with a nervous expression and accent, "He is a very, very young singer, age... I'm sorry, but the director's team didn't write his age in the script I gave. ”
"Phew~" The audience burst into laughter and boos.
"Just kidding, relax. Zhao Lixun smiled, and then became serious again, "Because the situation I'm going to introduce next is really a bit scary." ”
"He's not just a singer, he's a great songwriter and music producer! Zhao Lixun said in a solemn tone.
"Wow~" Many viewers in the audience let out an exclamation.
Zhao Lixun's introduction continues: "His music works are very diverse, the songs that have won awards are also of different genres, and at the same time, he is also a singer who has performed on the stage of the Academy Awards. The selection of him as the first kicking singer not only represents the diversity of music on this stage, but also represents the style of this show. ”
"Xiao Yao!" At this time, some viewers directly called out Xiao Yao's name.
"Damn! Bayi is really here, and he is still the first singer to kick the gym. In the singer's rest hall, Xiao Siqi, who sat down and watched TV nervously after a brief greeting with other singers after coming back, shouted excitedly!
"I'll go!" Hong Wei also looked at Xiao Siqi and said, "Old Xiao, the singer in the kicking hall is your son?!"
"What?" Several singers and agents who didn't react looked at Xiao Siqi and Hong Wei and said, "The singer who kicked the gym is the son of Teacher Xiao?!"
"Yes, his son's nickname is Bayi, and he performed at the Oscars with an American band. Hong Wei looked at those people with disdain, "You don't even know this?"
On the stage of the scene, Zhao Lixun continued: "The song he is going to bring below is called "It's Now", which is an original new song that he has not yet released, and today is the first time he has performed in public. On this stage, sing a new song that no one has ever heard before, and he is the first to do so! Let's invite the last competing singer with a round of applause!"
Amid the cheers and applause of the audience, the lights dimmed, and a figure appeared in the passage at the back of the stage, slowly walking to the front of the stage. As a chasing light hit the figure at the scene, Xiao Yao also clearly appeared in front of everyone.
With short broken hair, clean earlobes and fingers, a delicate and handsome face, and a tall posture with a well-tailored white casual suit, Xiao Yao's whole person looks unusually refreshing and neat, giving people a bright feeling.
"So handsome~" Looking at Xiao Yao in a white casual suit on the stage, Liang Xueying couldn't help but clasp her hands and shouted.
"What about huh?" Hong Wei glared at Liang Xueying, and taught in the Northeast dialect, "Ha Lazi rub, don't look at people who are tall, but people are still children, not adults!"
"Ah, Mr. Hong, what are you talking about!" Liang Xueying said embarrassedly.
"Sister Hong, my son is an adult!" Xiao Siqi said with a black line full of heads.
"Huh?" Hong Wei pretended to be ignorant and said to Xiao Siqi, "Your sons are already adults, so you are so old, don't play with me in the future." ”
"I—" Xiao Siqi was speechless in disgust. Naturally, it caused a burst of laughter from the singers and agents in the hall.
"Hello everyone!" Xiao Yao on the stage first bowed to the audience, straightened up and waved his hand.
Immediately there was another scream.
