Chapter 238: Take the first place again
In the studio, after the singers and agents were seated, Tao Ran did not welcome the fill-in singers in this scene as he did last time, but looked at Xiao Yao with a smile and joked: "The makeup removal speed is very fast, I thought I could see a Hua Dan in ancient costume here!"
"Come on, Director Tao, Sister Hong, they have already added a lot of shots of my Hua Dan dressing up to your show. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xiao Yao said helplessly.
"Well, I heard that!" Tao Ran nodded, obviously knowing what was happening in the rest hall, "Thank you, Teacher Hong Wei, for the few of you." ā
"Okay, let's first welcome our new friend, the new fill-in singer Wei Shile!" Tao Ran took the lead in applauding and returned to the original program process.
"Thank you!" Wei Shile politely stood up and bowed to Tao Ran and several other singers.
"How do you feel about participating in our show today?" Tao Ran asked Wei Shile with a smile.
"It's an honour to be part of this show, the stage is great, the equipment, including the sound and lighting are top notch, and I enjoyed singing on it. Wei Shile said with a smile, "And I saw a performance here that I couldn't have imagined," as he said, Wei Shile turned his head and glanced at Xiao Yao, "It's really very unexpected to me." This time, the overall feeling is a special surprise, agreeing to come to this show is a very correct decision I made, I believe this is a very rare experience in my life. ā
"Thank you for your evaluation, and we are also very grateful for your wonderful performance on stage," Tao Ran said with a smile, "Your performance today is also a surprise for us." ā
"Thank you!" Wei Shile, who sat back in his seat, folded his hands again, lowered his head and leaned forward.
"Today is the third round of qualifying, so no one will be eliminated, and we will come up with a knockout after the next knockout game, combining the results of this and next matches. Tao Ran briefly introduced, and then continued, "Now is the time to announce the results of the singers' votes." Whose results would you most like to hear first?"
"Xiao Yao's!" Liang Xueying said, "He is dressed as a flower and sang Peking Opera today, which is really amazing, I want to know his results the most." ā
"Sister Xueying, I'm sorry, Hua Dan can be said in pretend, but the one I sing can only be called Jingyun, which is different from the real Peking Opera. Xiao Yao smiled and pointed to the camera in the studio and said, "I have to point this out, otherwise I may be scolded if I am seen by Mr. Mei when it is broadcast." ā
"Who else dares to scold you?" Hong Wei said curiously, "Mr. Mei, which Mr. Mei is so powerful?"
"Mr. Mei Qingchang of Yanjing," Xiao Yao said, "I learned from him this kind of Peking Opera-like singing voice and some of the movements and footwork on the stage just now." ā
"Are you Mr. Mei Qingchang's apprentice?" Hong Wei was even more surprised. She knows who Mei Qingchang is, and she is a real Peking Opera master!
"No," Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, "I was just fortunate enough to accept Mr. Mei's guidance and learn some things from Mr. Mei, but he didn't accept me as an apprentice." I am so old that I have long passed the age suitable for learning drama, and Mr. Mei will not accept a ticket holder like me as an apprentice. Of course, my attitude towards Peking Opera is not pious enough, I just play with Peking rhyme singing and pop music, and I don't have the luxury of worshipping under a Peking Opera master like Mr. Mei. ā
"You're pretty self-aware. Hong Wei smiled.
"Then we will announce Xiao Yao's results next?" Tao Ran asked with a smile.
"Let's listen to Sammy first," Xiao Yao inexplicably remembered that another person was coming when he said Wei Shile's English name, and after a slightly awkward pause, he continued, "This is her first time here, and she can be regarded as a guest, listen to her results first, don't let her keep her heart hanging." ā
"Okay~" Tao Ran nodded, but what he said next was, "Then we will announce Xiao Yao first." ā
"What?" Xiao Yao glared and complained in his heart, "You don't listen to me, what kind of head do you want?"
"Tao Dao, you've learned badly!" everyone saw Xiao Yao's expression and said to Tao Ran with a smile.
But then Tao Ran's words immediately made Xiao Yao throw that little dissatisfaction out of the clouds.
"Xiao Yao, this audience vote ranked first!" Tao Ran looked at the mobile phone in his hand and announced.
"Yay~" There were three cheers at the scene, but there was no slightly stunned party Xiao Yao. cheered, one was Shen Man, one was Xiao Siqi, and the last one was Liang Xueying!
The singers and agents at the scene also gave Xiao Yao a round of applause. Qin Xiaodong nodded with a smile and commented: "In terms of Xiao Yao's performance today, this first place should be well deserved. ā
"Thank you!" Xiao Yao stood up and bowed to everyone, "Thank you, Brother Xiaodong, for the compliment." ā
"Xiao Yao won the first place, it is normal for Shen Man and Lao Xiao to be happy, one of them is Xiao Yao's agent, and the other is Xiao Yao's father, Xueying, why are you so excited?" Hong Wei looked at the excited Liang Xueying with a smile and said, "Is it that Xiao Yao won the first place, and the next show will be safe, you can find him to arrange and design the performance costume again?"
"No, I'm just happy for him. Liang Xueying said a little embarrassed, "He has helped me once, and my substitute host this time is not only my own interest, but also the favor he helped me last time." Last time, I was so anxious that I couldn't find him, and even if I finish seventh this time, I won't go to him again. ā
"How do you say it as if you want to draw a line?" Hong Wei said with a deliberately surprised face.
"How can there be?" Liang Xueying said angrily, "I just think that everyone is a singer competing on the same stage, and he is embarrassed to trouble him all the time." And he hasn't been to school for two weeks, and he has to go back to school this week, and it is estimated that he has to make up for the classes he missed before, and the time must be very tight. ā
"Okay, congratulations to Xiao Yao, next, we announce the winner of the second place in this vote..."Tao Ran then announced.
"Hong Wei," Xiao Yao said quickly, "Sister Jing!"
"Xiao Yao, you!" Hong Wei glared at Xiao Yao and said.
"What, you don't want to take the second place?" Xiao Yao spread his hands and smiled, "Now that the first place has been announced, the best remaining score is the second." I hope you get a good result, and the better the result in this race, the safer the next one. ā
"Phew, I don't want to!" Hong Wei said unobservingly, "I'd rather take the third or fourth?"
"I'm sorry to disappoint Mr. Hong Wei. Second place, Hong Wei!" Tao Ran finished announcing, looked at Hong Wei with a smile and said, "Should I say congratulations?"
"This is a good result, of course, congratulations, and it is well deserved!" Xiao Yao smiled and took the lead in applauding.
"You... Iā" Hong Wei pointed at Xiao Yao, not knowing what to say. This guy is Hongguoguo's revenge, but in everyone's congratulations and applause, Hong Wei can't help it!
"Today, we will announce the results for you in order of ranking from top to bottom. Tao Ran continued to announce, "The next step is to reveal the third place for everyone..."
In the end, the results of this game came out, Xiao Siqi was third, Liang Xueying was fourth, the debuting fill-in singer Wei Shile was fifth, Liu Youyuan was sixth, and Qin Xiaodong was seventh.
Qin Xiaodong and Liu Youyuan, who are ranked in the bottom two, are not pure singers like Liang Xueying, they are both songwriters and producers, and they can arrange music, and the songs in the competition are also arranged by themselves. With their character and arrogance as creators, even in a more dangerous position, they will not go to others to help him arrange music.
After returning to Shencheng after the recording of the program, Xiao Yao still quickly arranged the score and arrangement of the next competition song and sent it to the program team.
Xiao Yao still has a little resentment about the seventh place in the second round of elimination, but after winning the first place this time, he is relatively safe and has prepared another folk song for the next one, and the stage design during the performance is also relatively simple. There are no supporting guests, no specially designed performance costumes, not even the gimmick of a shovel guitar, the only thing that is a little better than the second round of elimination, probably Xiao Yao prepared a Chinese folk song this time.
Xiao Yao did go back to school after returning to Shencheng, but he did not make up for the missing classes as Liang Xueying guessed. The lessons he lacked were all recorded by Qin Hao and Xu Liang in the same dormitory with DV and sent to him by email. With these class videos, with his ability, it is easy to keep up with everyone's progress when he goes back to the class after half a month.
This idea was naturally thought up by Xiao Yao. Last semester, Xiao Yao rarely asked for leave, stayed in school for a long time, and did not have a star shelf, he lived with his buddies in the dormitory, and he usually played basketball together when he had nothing to do, and the relationship had already been quite good. At the beginning of the year, I took them to see the press conference, and Qin Hao and Xu Liang naturally patted their chests and agreed to Xiao Yao's request without hesitation.
However, this practice is against the regulations of the school, and the courses of the acting academy are not open classes, and it is not allowed to record videos and spread them freely. Fortunately, the award that Xiao Yao won back in Clermont Ferrand played a big role, and considering Xiao Yao's identity and specific circumstances, the purpose of this move was to keep up with the progress of learning, and the leaders of the college made an exception for Xiao Yao when the three of them promised in writing that they would not pass on the recorded class video.
The university curriculum is not tight, and Xiao Yao only uses normal classes, so there is still a lot of spare time. Xiao Yao didn't let himself be idle, and there were still a lot of things that could be done during this period.
First of all, it's a pure music album of piano songs. In the last kicking competition, Xiao Yao had a piano recital before the competition, that is, he was ready to release the rhythm of the piano album. When he was in Yanjing last week, Xiao Yao spent half the day studying opera with Mr. Mei Qingchang, half of the day rehearsing with the "Women's Music Workshop", and recording piano music in the recording studio of Qi Jia's studio at night. In nearly a week, Xiao Yao has recorded nine tunes. He is preparing to release more piano songs than guitar songs, a total of thirteen songs, and there are still four tunes left to record, which will probably take two days.
In addition, it is the post-production of the MV of "ThinkingOutLoud" that Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting filmed together in the United States.
The broadcast and recording of the "Singer" program were played and recorded less than two episodes apart. Before Xiao Yao went to record the third round of qualifying, the second round of eliminations had already been broadcast on TV. Since Xiao Yao participated in this show, the performance of each episode has been a hot topic of discussion among the audience and netizens, and that episode of the show is no exception.
Xiao Yao's original English folk song, the homemade shovel guitar that is so wonderful that it is a bright blind ball, and the big decline in grades from first to seventh, these are all topics that netizens are talking about, but the most discussed is the cooperation between Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying.
From the tidbits released before the start of the game and Liang Xueying's revelations in the pre-game interview, everyone knows that Liang Xueying's electronic music soundtrack version of "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", the beautiful lighting costumes, and the dreamy starry sky stage effects are all Xiao Yao's handwriting, Xiao Yao also made Liang Xueying a live electronic music DJ during the performance, and Liang Xueying also counterattacked from the seventh in the last game to become the champion on the spot, plus the two are still opponents in the same competition, which will inevitably make some netizens brainstorm and guess the relationship between the two.
In the current entertainment industry, the phenomenon of sibling love is not uncommon. This is not like Xiao Yao helped Yin Xi earn Eva Angel's contract back then, even if they didn't say that they were not as famous as they are now, no one would associate a ten-year-old boy with a twenty-two-year-old female model. But a twenty-year-old young singer and a thirty-two-year-old female singer, both adults, are not so unimaginable. There are many couples and even couples in the entertainment industry with an age gap greater than twelve years, not to mention that Xiao Yao has been called a demon since he was a child because of his excessive precociousness, if he likes a woman who is a lot older than him, it is really normal.
However, Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying's matter is not like Gong Chen's scandal at the beginning, so this matter was discussed from the comments of ordinary netizens, and there was no media involvement in it at the beginning, plus Xiao Yao has a girlfriend is well known, although the two are separated, there is no news of the breakup, so this argument has not shown explosive spread, but is only limited to the speculation of some netizens. But it is the nature of some people to hunt for curiosity and spread rumors, and after a period of fermentation, no one knows if this will become another scandal spread by Xiao Yao all over the Internet.
In the face of this kind of topic that netizens are bored to talk about, not to mention that it has not yet formed a trend, it has been spread all over the Internet, and Xiao Yao is not interested in holding another press conference to specifically explain, last time Gong Chen opened it because he introduced Gong Chen and the studio by the way, this time there is no behind-the-scenes promoter, Xiao Yao will not be so laborious.
In fact, Xiao Yao thought that this kind of remark might appear, and the MV for "ThinkingOutLoud" was certainly Xiao Yao's dissatisfaction that this song only won seventh in the show, and he wanted to achieve better results when he released this song, and part of the reason was to prepare for this situation. With the intimate movements and eye contact between the two in the sweet pas de deux in the MV, as soon as this MV is released, it is estimated that all rumors on the Internet will disappear.
According to the original plan, Xiao Yao will release the single of this song and release the MV next week, that is, after the second round of the show's kicking match is broadcast, because the highlights of that episode of the show explained that Xiao Yao deliberately went to the United States to find Sun Tingting, and there are also some behind-the-scenes shots of the two filming this MV in the United States, which will echo each other after the show is broadcast. The stage performance in that issue was the interactive cooperation of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting's 3D projection, and the MV of this song was released after that, and the effect of clarifying and countering rumors was also better.
But Xiao Yao doesn't know how fast this rumor will spread, and when the gossip media tabloids will get involved, so Xiao Yao is ready to prepare the MV first, if this kind of remarks have a tendency to explode this week, then Xiao Yao doesn't mind releasing the MV of this song in advance, and releasing the official version of this song in advance in China.
