Chapter 712: There Is No Purpose
After Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting sat down, Liang Xueying took the initiative to talk to Sun Tingting: "Hello Tingting, I'm Liang Xueying, I have admired you for a long time, and today I finally met the real person, which is even more beautiful than what I saw on TV!"
"Thank you!" Sun Tingting said with a smile, "But I'm a real newcomer, and I should have admired Sister Xueying's name for a long time!"
"No, I'm serious. Liang Xueying said, "When I saw Xiao Yao use your 3D projection to perform in "Singer", and then I watched the dance of "ThinkingOutLoud" that you filmed, I have been curious about what this favored girl looks like. ”
"What is favored," Xiao Yao interjected with a smile, "People are very good violinists, and they are very good at dancing, I begged her to help me with 3D projection and MV, if I want to say that I am favored, I am the one who is favored!"
"Yo~" Liang Xueying looked at Xiao Yao with a smile and said, "This boyfriend deserves it!"
Sun Tingting smiled and did not speak.
"Of course I know that Tingting is very good at playing the violin!" Liang Xueying said again, "But Tingting, how can you hold a concert like Xiao Yao's tour, only four concerts, and all of them are in the concert hall, after I heard the news, I wanted to go to the scene to listen to your concert but couldn't buy a ticket." ”
"It's not to learn from him," Sun Tingting replied, "It's just that this kind of pure music concert is relatively niche, and I didn't have a long time back to China at that time, so I didn't have much fame, I was afraid that the tickets would not sell out, and the effect of the concert hall was better than that of the open air, so I chose to only hold four concerts in the concert hall." ”
"That's right," Liang Xueying nodded, "But it's different now, your group is so popular now, even the Spring Festival Gala is on, and there will definitely be no one to go when there is a concert in the future." If you have a concert in the future, remember to let me know sooner, so I can grab tickets in advance. ”
"There are no plans to hold a concert at the moment, but if it does, I will definitely invite you to come and not let you work so hard to buy tickets by yourself. Sun Tingting said with a smile.
"Xiao Yao, take a look!" Liang Xueying glanced at Xiao Yao and said, "It's better to be Tingting, when you started the tour, you didn't think about giving me a ticket!"
"I haven't given away tickets since I started the tour, and even my parents didn't have tickets!" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "Besides, I'm a small Lifehouse show, with only a few hundred audiences, so it's not appropriate for you to have such a big wrist." At most, I promise you that if I hold a concert in a stadium or something like that in the future, I will definitely invite you to be a guest. ”
"Really, when?" Liang Xueying's eyes lit up.
"Uh~ I don't have any plans yet. Xiao Yao said embarrassedly.
"Go," Liang Xueying glared at Xiao Yao, "What about me?"
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, it's more comfortable to chat with Tingting!" Liang Xueying took Sun Tingting's arm and said.
Xiao Yao smiled bitterly again and stopped interjecting in the chat between the two.
Liang Xueying is a native of Sichuan Province and has a relatively straightforward temperament, while Sun Tingting seems to be relatively gentle, but she is also a very good person to get along with. The two of them got together and could really talk.
Liang Xueying's singing style is European and American, and she was trying to take the international route in the early days, and she had a lot of fans in Europe and the United States before. In the past two years, with the song "Fighter" written by Xiao Yao for her, she has become the overseas publicity ambassador of the Chinese Professional Basketball League and a guest performer on the Eva Show, and her overseas popularity has made a big leap. In the past two years, she has held many concerts overseas, stayed for a long time, and is more familiar with Europe and the United States. Sun Tingting has studied and lived in the United States for three years, and she is also familiar with the situation in Europe and the United States.
Both of them are professional musicians, and they are both familiar with Europe and the United States, so there is no shortage of topics to talk about. The two chatted until the staff came in to inform Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting to participate in the program review.
Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting's program is instrumental performance, which is a type of program that often appears in the Spring Festival Gala, and basically there is only one program per year. However, although this program is held almost every year, in previous years, it was either a folk music performance or an internationally renowned performance master was invited to play modern instruments, and there were still relatively few pop stars like them playing modern musical instruments, and there were no programs of the same type in the programs participating in the Spring Festival Gala program review this year, so their combined program actually did not face much competition.
The performance level of the two main musicians of this show, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting, is beyond doubt, and the other musicians are also skilled and high-level musicians, who have been rehearsing with them for a long time, and they have a very tacit understanding in cooperation. There is no problem with the technical level of the musicians, there is no problem with the tacit understanding, and the live performance of the whole band in the program review is naturally very good.
There is not much competition, the on-site performance is excellent, and it becomes a natural thing for the show to pass the review. After the band's performance, the director team of the Spring Festival Gala even made a decision on the spot that their show did not need to be reviewed three times, and directly entered the final program list, as long as they participated in the last two rehearsals.
The one who was ranked behind the "Mystery Garden" for program review happened to be Liang Xueying, and Xiao Yao, Sun Tingting and Liang Xueying, who had finished the review, also met again in the passage to the studio.
"How's your show?" Liang Xueying paused and asked the two of them with concern.
"It's over!" Xiao Yao nodded, "The director team said that the three trials were exempted, and they will directly participate in the rehearsal when the time comes." ”
"That's amazing!" Liang Xueying said happily, "Congratulations!"
"Thank you!" Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting smiled together and thanked them.
"This is a great thing, it is worth celebrating!" Liang Xueying said again, "It just so happens that we haven't seen each other for a long time, I'll invite you to dinner and celebrate together!"
"This~" Xiao Yao hesitated.
"Teacher Liang!" the staff next to Liang Xueying reminded, "The director team is waiting!"
"I'm sorry," Liang Xueying said apologetically to the staff, turned to Xiao Yao and said, "The director team is waiting for me, don't talk about it! With that, Liang Xueying left with the staff.
"Anyway, it's okay for a while, so let's have a meal together?" Xiao Yao looked at Liang Xueying's departing figure, turned his head and asked Sun Tingting, "Sister Xueying is very good, I think you have a good chat." ”
"Okay!" Sun Tingting nodded with a smile.
The list of programs for the Spring Festival Gala has not yet been announced, and it is in the stage of secrecy. Today is the day when the director team of the Spring Festival Gala conducts the second trial of the program, there are many staff and stars in and out, and there are many media reporters guarding outside the CCTV building, who not only want to shoot stars, but also want to guess the program list of the Spring Festival Gala from the stars who appear. Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting didn't want to wait in the hall or at the door, so they said goodbye to a few cooperative musicians in the building, and the two drove away from CCTV alone, and found a hotel with better privacy to wait for Liang Xueying.
As soon as the two called a box to sit down, Liang Xueying's phone called. Xiao Yao told Liang Xueying the name and address of the hotel on the phone, and then put away the phone and waited for Liang Xueying's arrival.
In less than half an hour, Liang Xueying also entered the box under the leadership of the waiter. Because I noticed in the CCTV lounge before, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting did not bring assistants, and Liang Xueying did not bring assistants, but came alone.
Liang Xueying asked the two of them, and after finding that the two had not yet ordered, she called the waiter to take the lead and order. After the waiter went out, the three of them also chatted.
"Congratulations again!" Liang Xueying raised the teacup on the table and said, "The three trials have been waived, which is really amazing." Let's toast you with tea instead of wine!"
"Thank you!" The two raised their teacups and gestured to Liang Xueying, Sun Tingting then asked Liang Xueying, "Sister Xueying, what about your program, did you successfully pass the second trial?"
"It's barely halfway there, right?" Liang Xueying said with a wry smile.
"Barely halfway through, what do you mean?" both were a little puzzled.
"There's nothing wrong with me as a person, and there's nothing wrong with the songs I sing, but there are some problems with the accompanying dance," Liang Xueying said, "The director team said that the accompanying dance of my song is not interesting, and it is best to improve it." ”
"Your show is a song," Sun Tingting said, "When the audience is watching you, not watching the backup dance, what should the backup dance be?"
"I think so too!" Liang Xueying said, "But the Spring Festival Gala, the director team has high requirements, saying that even if it is a song program, the accompanying dance must have a very high standard and highlights." ”
"What should I do then? The director team is looking for someone to help you rearrange the backup dance?" Xiao Yao asked.
Xiao Yao has only appeared on the Spring Festival Gala once before, and he performed "The Great Wall" with Chen Chen. The last performance presented on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala was requested by the director team of the Spring Festival Gala, and then discussed and revised together.
"The director team said that they would think about it, find some choreographers to ask for advice, and also asked me not to relax myself, think about it or find a professional choreographer to think about how to change it more excitingly. Liang Xueying looked at Xiao Yao and said.
"Professional choreographer?" Sun Tingting followed Liang Xueying's gaze to Xiao Yao beside her, and said with a smile, "Sister Xueying, do you have a plan?"
"Oh, Tingting is so smart!" said Liang Xueying.
Xiao Yao has helped Liang Xueying design several live stage performances, whether it is Liang Xueying's performance alone or the cooperation between the two, whether there is a dance or not, the stage effect is very good, and Liang Xueying also knows that Xiao Yao can choreograph, so when it comes to finding a choreographer to improve the backup dance, Liang Xueying's first thought is Xiao Yao.
"I said, why is it so good to invite me to dinner all of a sudden!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"Hey, when I said I would invite you to dinner, but before participating in the program review, the director team didn't say anything about the backup dance during the first trial. Liang Xueying glared at Xiao Yao dissatisfied, "Besides, haven't I invited you to dinner before?"
"Okay, I was wrong," Xiao Yao raised his hands and said, "Just kidding, I apologize!"
"Then what song are you going to perform at the Spring Festival Gala?" Xiao Yao asked Liang Xueying.
"What, are you willing to choreograph it for me?" Liang Xueying said happily.
"Sister Xue Ying's matter, I will definitely help if I can help!" Xiao Yao nodded, "But I should state in advance that I am not a professional choreographer, and I don't guarantee that I will be able to help." Let's see what song you're going to perform, and see if there are any ideas or suggestions that can help you!"
"Okay, as long as you have this heart!" Liang Xueying smiled and took out her mobile phone, and after some operation, handed it over, "This is the video of my previous rehearsals, and you can see the songs and dancers." ”
Xiao Yao nodded, took the phone and looked at it. Sun Tingting was curious, and she also leaned over her head and looked at it together.
Liang Xueying released a new album in the first half of this year, including eight English songs and two Chinese songs, and the results are also very good. The director group of the Spring Festival Gala selected Liang Xueying, also because she valued the success of her world tour this year, and the sales of the new album were also very good, and the popularity this year was relatively high. However, the Spring Festival Gala director team generally does not let Chinese singers sing English songs in the Spring Festival Gala, so one of the Chinese songs in Liang Xueying's new album was selected.
This song is a fast-paced dance music, the melody is good, the lyrics are quite suitable, and the overall is more suitable for the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. The backup dance in the video is adapted from the backup dance when Liang Xueying performed this song at the concert, I don't think there is any big problem when I look at it, but there is really nothing special to watch, Xiao Yao After watching it, I feel that the requirements of the director team of the Spring Festival Gala are not purely difficult.
After Xiao Yao looked at it, he returned the phone, did not speak for a while, touched his chin with one hand, and knocked on the desktop with the other to think.
Liang Xueying and Sun Tingting didn't bother when they saw Xiao Yao like this.
But at this time, the door of the box was opened, and the waiter walked in with the food.
"Come, eat first. Liang Xueying took the opportunity of the waiter to set the dishes and beckoned Xiao Yao to say, "This is not in a hurry, you go back and think about it slowly." If you can, you can do it, and if you don't do it, forget it. Anyway, there is also the director team, they shouldn't just kill my show. ”
"Bayi, don't force yourself too much. Sun Tingting also took advantage of the waiter's presentation to whisper in Xiao Yao's ear, "You have to promote your parkour movie later." ”
"Parkour movie!" Xiao Yao had a flash of inspiration in his mind.
After the waiter finished serving the food and went out, Xiao Yao asked Liang Xueying with a smile: "Sister Xueying, didn't the director team say that your backup dance is not interesting? How about I go and do your backup dance?
"What? you're going to be a backup dancer for me?" Liang Xueying was surprised at first, then shook her head with a smile, "Your sacrifice is too big, isn't it?"
"Why?" Xiao Yao asked.
"What kind of coffee position are you now? not to mention the singer and actor, you are still the new 2 billion director," Liang Xueying said with a smile, "I can't afford to hire a backup dancer of your level, I will be scolded to death by your fans and netizens!"
"What~" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "When I participated in "Singer", I also worked as an assistant for you at Shonan Airport to help you push your luggage!"
"Well, no kidding, seriously. Liang Xueying said, "If you are helping me choreograph or come up with ideas behind the scenes, I am happy to accept it, after all, this also reflects your talent." But if you really want to show up and be a backup dancer for me, I'm really embarrassed to accept it, I'm not so ignorant. ”
"Then if I say you're helping me, are you still embarrassed to accept it?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.
"What do you mean by me helping you?" Liang Xueying said puzzled.
"I'll say it straight," Xiao Yao said, "Actually, I made a live-action movie during the summer vacation, an action movie!"
"I know," Liang Xueying nodded, "It's been reported in the media, and I heard that it was filmed in the United States!
"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "Our movie has completed post-production and is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival." Around the Spring Festival, we are going to promote this film. The biggest feature of our movie is that the protagonist is a parkour team, which can be said to be a parkour movie, and the film's publicity strategy is to promote parkour. ”
"Actually, I don't want to help you dance, but I want to use a parkour show instead of a backup dance to be the background for your singing. Xiao Yao continued, "When the time comes, not only me, but I also plan to pull Zhao Rui and Xu Fei, and maybe find some folk parkour masters to complete the show together." We have a parkour on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, so that the people of the whole country know and see the charm of this sport, and there will definitely be people who will be interested in our movies, so I want to use your program and the platform of the Spring Festival Gala to promote my films, so that you can help me, not me help you!"
"Use the Spring Festival Gala to promote the movie?" Liang Xueying said incredulously.
"Of course," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "The rules of the Spring Festival Gala are so big, there is no other purpose, I am not happy to go to the Spring Festival Gala to play!"
"Do you have other purposes for the Spring Festival Gala?" asked Liang Xueying.
"I've been to the Spring Festival Gala once before," Xiao Yao said, "Do you remember what I performed?"
"The Great Wall!" Liang Xueying thought for a while and replied.
"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "The biggest feature of the show "The Great Wall" is the lighting clothes on our bodies, a month after the Spring Festival Gala, Yin Xi and I held the first press conference for our personal brands, and the biggest feature of our brand's clothing is the lighting clothes!"
"Oh~" Liang Xueying suddenly said, "No wonder you haven't been to the Spring Festival Gala in the past two years!"
"And what about the two of you this show?" Liang Xueying asked again.
"Didn't our group officially debut and release a new album more than a month ago?" Xiao Yao said, "In the next few months, our pair of groups will not make any moves, neither concerts nor new works for the time being, so we will strive to promote it on the Spring Festival Gala, so that everyone will remember our new group!"
"It turns out that you went to the Spring Festival Gala to run publicity?" Liang Xueying gave a speechless thumbs up and said, "You cow!
