Chapter 8 You Need to Prove

Since Xiao Yao has such great ambitions in music, Xiao Siqi is not in a hurry to simply teach Xiao Yao the performance methods and skills of a certain instrument, but starts from the most basic music theory knowledge and gives Xiao Yao systematic music enlightenment teaching. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info For Xiao Yao today, learning those theoretical knowledge that purely relies on rote memorization by the brain, his learning ability is not to mention that teenagers, even adults are much worse than him.

As for music, music theory knowledge is only a very basic thing, and in order to make achievements, the important thing is to rely on feeling. And this feeling, on the one hand, depends on talent, and on the other hand, it depends on a lot of training. So after just three days of theoretical knowledge learning, Xiao Yao entered a massive number of ear training exercises.

From the perspective of Xiao Siqi's professional music producer, although the timbre of Xiao Yao's voice cannot be regarded as a talented voice, it can be regarded as an upper-class voice. If you can continue to practice from now on, broaden your vocal range, and at the same time do not have any catastrophic events during the voice change period, you will also have a good chance of entering the ranks of first-class singers in the future. Of course, the premise is that Xiao Yao's enthusiasm for music is not a three-minute heat, and he has put all his energy into it until adulthood.

However, as it stands, it seems unlikely. Because although Xiao Yao is currently showing great interest in music and is very enthusiastic about learning, the calligraphy he learned from Xiao Chengru and the boxing techniques taught by Liu Zhongwen have not been put aside. Set aside a certain amount of time each day to practice both. Fortunately, Xiao Yao asked Xiao Siqi to add a set of desks, chairs and four treasures in his room the day after he moved back. If Xiao Siqi felt Xiao Yao's learning ability and talent before mentioning it, maybe Xiao Siqi would try his best to refuse his request, which would take up time to learn music with him. As for practicing boxing, Xiao Siqi doesn't mind much. On the one hand, there is no need to add things, the space in Chen Zilin's gym is enough for him to punch and kick his legs recklessly, on the other hand, Xiao Siqi feels that it is very necessary to exercise his body, no matter what he does, he needs a good body, and exercise can also exercise his breath. What's more, he also needs to rest in the middle of learning music, so it is also a good thing to let him use his brain and exercise together.

Of course, even if Xiao Siqi doesn't want Xiao Yao to practice calligraphy from the bottom of his heart to take up the time of learning music, he can't stop it. First of all, although it is an adult to a child, Xiao Siqi has never thought of violently demanding or stopping Xiao Yao from doing something through the superiority of physical strength, as for relying on the preaching of his mouth, he feels that he can't tell his own evil son if he is reasonable.

As the two get along for longer and longer, Xiao Siqi feels that the feeling of the two getting along together is less and less like a father and son, but more and more like getting along with each other. No way, Xiao Siqi's ability is a little low except for music.

One day, on a whim, Xiao Siqi went to the supermarket to buy a bunch of ingredients and prepare to cook a meal for Xiao Yao. Although I don't know if I wanted to use this as an opportunity to persuade Xiao Yao to give up calligraphy and devote himself to music, the result was miserable. Not only did the few dishes that could not be eaten, but they almost destroyed the kitchen. When cooking a dish, because after pouring oil into the pot, I remembered that a certain ingredient had not been processed properly, and I didn't turn off the fire and went to process the ingredients, but because the fire was too big, the oil in the pot was burned for too long. In a hurry, Xiao Siqi actually planned to use water to extinguish the fire, but fortunately, Xiao Yao, who heard the movement and rushed to the kitchen door, shouted in time to stop it, prompting him to turn off the fire and cover the pot, which avoided a disaster. Of course, in Xiao Yao's eyes, this meal is already a disaster. In the end, Xiao Yao had the foresight to call and order takeout, which avoided the embarrassment of the father and son being hungry at noon that day.

After this incident, Xiao Yao also began to notice his father's serious lack of life ability. began to gradually take over the lives of the two. Tidying up the house, Xiao Yao did it himself, and replenished daily necessities, paid water and electricity bills on time, and avoided the dilemma of water and electricity cuts, which he couldn't do for the time being, and always kept it in mind so as to remind the unreliable father in time.

Originally, Lao Tzu took care of his son, but now it has become his son who instructs Lao Tzu in everything. Xiao Siqi, who was quite embarrassed, spoke less hard in front of his son. And as his son grows up day by day and can do more and more things, Xiao Siqi feels that his authority as Lao Tzu is slowly weakening day by day. For this, he didn't know whether to be proud of his son or feel sorry for himself.

The days passed little by little in this quiet change of father-son authority. Unknowingly, Xiao Yao spent his fourth birthday. He has grown taller, his body has become stronger, and his boxing, calligraphy, and music skills have also grown a lot. Just when Xiao Yao had a sense of boredom in his daily routine life, the arrival of a person brought new changes to Xiao Yao's life.

Xu Ting is a capable but not overbearing agent. When Xiao Siqi first entered the industry five years ago, Xu Ting became his agent. After five years of getting along, Xu Ting already knows Xiao Siqi's character quite well. For this big boy-like guy, she is quite tolerant and spoiled. Although she knew that Xiao Siqi was happily with her son now, a contract was a contract after all, and what needed to be obeyed had to be pulled out of Xiao Siqi's unhappy days.

"Siqi, you agreed to sign the contract for three albums in five years. Although the results of the first two albums are not ideal, China Entertainment still hopes that you can make the last album before the end of the year. It's also interesting to say that they have experienced the first two times of not very successful, but they still have confidence in you and want to play with you again. ”

At this time, Xu Ting was sitting on the sofa in the living room of Xiao Siqi's house, chatting seriously with Xiao Siqi. It turned out that after Xiao Siqi's first album became popular, China Entertainment Records at that time immediately signed a record contract with Xiao Siqi for three albums in five years. Now that five years are coming, Xiao Siqi's fourth solo album and the third album stipulated in the contract have not moved. Some anxious record companies can only start to find Xu Ting's agent to put pressure.

Xiao Siqi smiled bitterly and said, "I know, I also wanted to fight a turnaround battle before." Saying that, Xiao Siqi's mood was depressed, "Half a year ago, I took my wife and children to the south to travel and collect style, just to find inspiration for writing songs for the album. Who knew that there was an accident when he came back, and Zilin also passed away in an accident. Since then, I've lost interest in the new album. ”

The conversation between the two did not deliberately distract Xiao Yao. Xiao Yao, who was sitting quietly and listening to the conversation between the two, also knew the original cause before the car accident. No wonder Xiao Siqi blamed himself so much at the time, it turned out that the trip was to find inspiration for Xiao Siqi to write songs for the new album. Xiao Yao was really strange before, it wasn't a holiday holiday, how could two people with regular jobs think of traveling by car with their families.

"Then you mean that the last album in the contract is not out, and you are going to lose money to the record company?" Xu Ting looked at Xiao Siqi helplessly. Xu Ting knew that she couldn't persuade this stubborn big boy.

Xiao Siqi was about to nod, but Xiao Yao, who was sitting on the side, interjected: "Dad, I think it's just for Mom, you should make this album even more." ”

Xu Ting and Xiao Siqi looked at the child at the same time, who originally had no sense of presence in the conversation between the two. Xu Ting was surprised, of course she knew Xiao Siqi's son, but this was the first time she had seen Xiao Yao after the car accident, that is, after being reborn, and the first time she had heard his age-appropriate language. Xiao Siqi had long been accustomed to his son's speech beyond his age, but he was a little puzzled by what he said.

Xiao Yao ignored Xu Ting's surprised gaze, just looked at Xiao Siqi and said seriously: "Do you think this album caused you to lose your mother? If you don't make an album, it means that you love her, care about her, and can't forget her? Do you think that if you do this, everyone will think that you are affectionate and righteous? I think you are selfish, hypocritical, and even cowardly." ”

Xiao Siqi listened, and for the first time showed an angry look on his face to Xiao Yao, and said angrily: "What did you say?!"

"Isn't it?" Xiao Yao met Xiao Siqi's angry gaze without fear, "You only care about your own feelings, have you ever thought about it from your mother's point of view? Why did she put down her work and take me and you on a trip and accompany you to collect wind and find inspiration? What is her wish? Isn't it just that she wants you to do a good job on this album and make a good comeback? What about you, only care about your own feelings and take into account her wishes? Isn't this selfish?"

Xiao Siqi didn't speak with red eyes, Xiao Yao had already continued: "Mom did go out with you to prepare a new album, but the car accident was just an accident, no one expected it, and it wasn't your responsibility, as for being so hypocritical? Or do you have no confidence in yourself, and you're afraid that this album will hit the street again, so you cowardly don't even have the courage to do it?"

Xiao Yao exhaled and said to Xiao Siqi seriously: "Xiao Siqi! is a man, just do a good job of this album, let the world know that Chen Zilin's vision is not bad, it makes sense for her to fall in love with you and follow you." Chen Zilin's efforts for you are worth it!"

Xu Ting was completely shocked by Xiao Yao. Is this his son talking to Lao Tzu? Did you get the wrong script? Xiao Siqi's eyes were red, his body trembled slightly, but he was surprisingly silent. And after Xiao Yao finished speaking, he looked calm and light. Xu Ting watched, and was even worried that Xiao Siqi would break out and beat Xiao Yao, and secretly guarded, preparing how she would stop Xiao Siqi if he really broke out.

It was so stalemate for a long time, and when Xu Ting moved her somewhat stiff body uneasily in this depressing atmosphere, Xiao Siqi exhaled softly, her tense whole body relaxed, and said softly to Xu Ting: "Sister Xu, reply to the record company, I will finish this album on time." ”

Xiao Siqi turned his head and said to Xiao Yao with a smile: "In the future, your study time will be greatly reduced, now you are satisfied." ”

Is this okay?Xu Ting looked at Xiao Yao, who had successfully changed Xiao Siqi's mind, for a while, and then turned to Xiao Siqi and said, "Siqi, your son, it's not simple." ”

"That's," Xiao Siqi smiled, "my son, a genius. ”

Xu Ting was about to tease this father, who was not modest at all, but Xiao Siqi's next sentence almost burst out laughing.

"I feel like he's more mature than I am. Don't be too surprised if you hear me call him Brother Yao one day. Don't laugh, I think sooner or later. ”
