After leaving Yin Xi's studio, Jiang Kailin contacted the director of the filming crew in her "Singer" program, and told the other party that she had asked Xiao Yao to help prepare for this episode of the competition, and she might stay in Shencheng this week, and the daily tidbits of this issue must also be filmed in Shencheng.

Hearing that Jiang Kailin invited Xiao Yao to help her prepare for the competition, Jiang Kailin's follow-up director was overjoyed, and flew to Shencheng with the filming crew that night.

The next day, Jiang Kailin came to Yin Xi's studio again with a private team, Wu Youhe and the filming crew.

This time, Xiao Yao did not go to the door of the studio to greet him again, but asked Fang to come forward to pick people in. This time, Xiao Yao did not meet Jiang Kailin in the reception room again, but asked Fang to still bring people directly into his own office in the brand design studio.

Several of the filming crew in the "Singer" program are relatively fixed, and the film crew that followed Jiang Kailin this year was the team that followed Hong Wei the year before last. Although they were not responsible for following Xiao Yao the year before last, they were no strangers to each other. After a brief greeting, everyone quickly got to the point.

"This is the song I prepared for you, you can take a look at it first. Xiao Yao took out a few pieces of paper from the music book on his desk and handed them to Jiang Kailin.

"Did you really write me a new song in one night?" Jiang Kailin finished reading the score in his hand, looked up and asked Xiao Yaodao.

"Actually, it's not," Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head, "I wrote this song before I did the LiveHouse tour last year, and I was originally going to sing it on the tour, but then I changed my mind and didn't sing it on the tour, so I didn't bother to record it and release it." If it is not recorded and released, it is a new song. I think it's appropriate for you to sing this song, thinking that since there is a finished product, there is no need to write it now. What do you think?"

"I like it very much, even more than the Cantonese song "One Plus One"!" Jiang Kailin said, "I feel like this song was written especially for me!"

"It's good to like it. Xiao Yao smiled, "Then you will sing this song in this issue of "Singer"?"

"Of course I can't ask for it," Jiang Kailin said, "but you just said that you originally planned to sing this song yourself, but now you brought it to me to make its debut on "Singer", is that okay? After I sang it, did you stop singing it yourself? I feel a little bit loved now." ”

"It's okay, what I like, no one else can take it. Xiao Yao smiled, "I also like this song very much, so there will be a version of this song that I sing." ”

"Do you want to sing a version yourself?" Jiang Kailin was surprised, "You write a song, you want to sing it yourself, I definitely don't have any opinion." I've heard that you never release cover songs, and the only cover song is a large collection of twenty-four songs, which can't be considered a cover. I'm going to sing this song on "The Singer" this week, so when will your version be released?"

The reason why Jiang Kailin said this was because she learned from Wu You about Wei Shile's cover of Xiao Yao's "White Rose" the year before last. At that time, Xiao Yao gave the cover rights to Wei Shile in the show before recording and releasing the song "White Rose", and in order to ensure that Wei Shile was a cover, he rushed to release his "White Rose" that week. You know, that week, he still released a pure album of piano songs and another English single "ThinkingOutLoud".

Even if Xiao Yao has not recorded this song yet, Jiang Kailin believes that Xiao Yao can release the single before the broadcast of this issue of "Singer". But Xiao Yao said that this is a new song for her, and if Xiao Yao's version is released first, it will not be considered a new song. If Xiao Yao waits for this song to be released after the broadcast of "Singer", it will become that he is a cover, which is contrary to his convention of not releasing cover songs.

"It's true that I haven't released a cover song, but as long as the difference is big enough and the time when the two versions come out close enough, it's not a cover. Xiao Yao smiled.

"The difference is big enough, the time is close enough?" Jiang Kailin said, "You mean to make two very different versions of this song, and then release them together." ”

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "This song is a folk song, and singing folk songs on "Singer" is not advantageous, so your version, arrangement and soundtrack will be more suitable for live stage performances, and a little RAP will be added to make it more suitable for the competition nature of "Singer", while my own version, the arrangement and soundtrack will be closer to folk songs."

My own version will also be recorded and released during the week, and then when this episode of "The Singer" is broadcast on TV, it will be uploaded to the music website for online distribution that night. We have a male version, a female version, one sings others, one sings himself, the soundtrack is different, the sound feels different, and it is the public appearance of the front and back feet, so there is no one who is covering. ”

"Can you still play like this?" Wu You and the people with the filming crew next to him were a little dumbfounded.

"It's also a good topic, it's good for Kailin and your show, isn't it?" Xiao Yao looked at them with a smile and said, "Of course, it's my freedom to release songs, even if it's not good for the show, you can't control me." ”

"You~" A group of people were speechless.

"Alright!" Xiao Yao clapped his hands, "The competition song has been decided, and it's time for us to move on to the next step." ”

"The style of the costume has been designed by me and the designer below, you can take a look. The design draft is not here for me, but for the designers below, if you have any questions, you can tell them. In addition, they also have to measure your body data, which is convenient for customization, and I will not participate in these. Xiao Yao said to Jiang Kailin, "I have already drafted the arrangement of my own version of this song, but the arrangement of your version has not been completed, I will go to the recording studio now to continue to do the arrangement and soundtrack." You'll come back to me after you've got the costumes done. ”

"Is the costume you designed the same as Liang Xueying's one that has a light on it and can shine? Can we take a picture of the design or production process of the costume this time? Or take a picture of the situation when Kailin tries on the clothes after they are ready?" asked Jiang Kailin's follow-up director on the side.

She remembered that the performance costume that Xiao Yao prepared for Liang Xueying the year before last had a light on it, which could shine, and it blended with the starry sky in the entire background on the stage, which was very amazing. However, when filming daily tidbits, Xiao Yao's follow-up team kept it strictly secret, neither Xiao Yao's follow-up team nor Liang Xueying's follow-up team could shoot the design draft and production process of the costumes, and they didn't even shoot the try-on, and it was not made public until Liang Xueying competed.

"It's okay," Xiao Yao nodded, "But this time's costumes are just good-looking, not as special as Sister Xueying's clothes that time, and there is no need to keep them secret." What Kailin can see, you can all shoot. ”

"Still, you take Kailin down to find Qiao Shan, Kailin's performance costume is in charge of Qiao Shan, remember to ask them to measure Kailin's body data. Xiao Yao turned his head to Fang Yi on the side and said, "When Qiao Shan and the others are ready, you can bring Kai Lin to the recording studio again." ”

"Good!" both nodded.

After the order, Xiao Yao left the office and went to the recording studio. About half an hour later, Fang still took Jiang Kailin to the control room of the recording studio.

"Coming?" Xiao Yao said to Jiang Kailin who entered the door with a smile, "The soundtrack is more than half done, do you want to listen to it first?"

"Of course I want to hear it, but will it disturb you?" Jiang Kailin said.

"It's okay," Xiao Yao handed over a headset, "Although you are not a producer, you are also a very experienced singer, and I would like to hear your opinion too." ”

"Okay!" Jiang Kailin took the headphones and put them on her head. Xiao Yao operated the console in front of him and played the part of the accompaniment he had made.

After the accompaniment was played, Jiang Kailin took off the headphones with a smile.

"That's all, how do you feel?" Xiao Yao asked.

"It feels good, you really don't have to say anything about your level of arrangement!" Jiang Kailin gave a thumbs up, "Even if it's a new song, I'm full of confidence in my performance in this issue." ”

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao smiled, "I should be able to finish the rest of the accompaniment today, but the official recording may have to wait until tomorrow." If you want to wait to hear all the accompaniment, there is a practice room next door, so you can familiarize yourself with the lyrics of the song first, and I'll let you know when it's all ready. If you have other things, you can also go back first and come back tomorrow. ”

"I don't have anything to do, let's go and familiarize myself with the lyrics and music first, and also see the practice room in your recording studio. Jiang Kailin smiled.

"Okay," Xiao Yao pointed to Pei Minyi, who was sitting on the side, "This is my assistant Pei Minyi, who is very familiar with this place and the neighborhood, if you have any needs, you can ask your assistant to find her." ”

"Minyi, you take them to the practice room, then leave your phone number for them, and bring me some food and drink in an hour, and leave me alone the rest of the time. Xiao Yao said to Pei Minyi.

"Okay, boss!" Pei Minyi stood up and said to Jiang Kailin and the others, "Everyone, please come with me, I'll take you to the practice room." ”

Under the leadership of Pei Minyi, a group of people came out of the control room of the recording studio, and Xiao Yao put on his headphones again and entered the working state.

"This is my phone," after taking everyone to a practice room, Pei Minyi took out a business card and handed it to one of Jiang Kailin's assistants, "I won't stay in the practice room with you." But I've been in the studio all the time, and if something calls me, I'll come right over. ”

"The boss has a character, and the assistant has such a character!" After Pei Minyi left, Jiang Kailin's assistant looked at the business card in his hand and smiled, "This assistant has done a lot better than me!"

"That's because people are better than you!" Jiang Kailin's makeup artist said to the assistant, "She is not just an ordinary assistant, but also a well-known makeup artist and stylist in the industry." Except for Xiao Yao, I am afraid that no one can make her a life assistant now, and no one will call her as a life assistant. ”

Since Xiao Yao used Yin Xi's studio as his regular work location, Pei Minyi soaked in the studio's studio when she had nothing to do. These times, she is not without flowers. She has now become a well-known makeup artist and stylist in the industry, and the name of Pei Minyi has appeared more than once in the makeup artist and stylist column on the hard photo profiles of many fashion brands and fashion magazines. Because there was a film crew to shoot today, Jiang Kailin's makeup artist also came. Jiang Kailin's assistant didn't know much about Pei Minyi's situation, but as a peer, Jiang Kailin's makeup artist still knew Pei Minyi better.

"So, our sister Kailin is still stained with Xiao Yao's light!" the assistant pouted.

"I was originally stained with Xiao Yao's light!" Jiang Kailin smiled, "Okay, don't chat, stay and don't affect my singing." ”

Almost two hours later, Jiang Kailin personally called Pei Minyi. Jiang Kailin called Pei Minyi not because she wanted her to help do anything, but because it was almost dinner time at this time. Jiang Kailin wanted to invite Xiao Yao out to dinner, but she didn't know if it was convenient for Xiao Yao at work to disturb, so she called Pei Minyi to ask Xiao Yao's work habits and living habits, and asked her if it was appropriate to knock on Xiao Yao's recording room now.

It's not that Xiao Yao couldn't even knock on the door when he made the soundtrack, but Pei Minyi didn't let Jiang Kailin and the others go directly, but asked them to wait and came over to bring them over.

After knocking on the door and entering the recording studio, Jiang Kailin was surprised to find that there were several more people in the recording room. In the recording room, which is separated from the control room by a glass window, stands a young woman in her thirties with a dark complexion wearing headphones. In the control room, Xiao Yao sat in front of the console, and next to him stood a teenage girl with headphones on her head. Fang still came to open the door of the recording room, and after helping them open the door, Fang still sat on the sofa in the control room, and next to her, there was a seven or eight-year-old girl. Except for Fang Yi, the other three were all unknown to Jiang Kailin.

Although she was very puzzled, she saw that Xiao Yao was also wearing headphones, obviously recording, so Jiang Kailin didn't bother, just stood quietly to the side.

Jiang Kailin waited for a few minutes before seeing Xiao Yao give the young woman a thumbs up through the glass window, then make an OK gesture before taking off the headphones on her head.

"Xiao Yao!" Jiang Kailin shouted.

"Yo, can't you wait to listen to the soundtrack? It'll be good soon!" Xiao Yao turned his head to see Jiang Kailin and said with a smile.

"Are you recording?" Jiang Kailin looked at the young woman who was opening the door with her headphones off her headphones in the recording room, and said suspiciously.

"Oh!" Xiao Yao understood what Jiang Kailin meant, and explained and introduced with a smile, "There are some Tibetan content in this song, so I found a Tibetan singer to do the harmony." The guy I just recorded is called Kelsang Lham, a Tibetan singer, and I asked him to record the harmony for your version. I mentioned to her a little that if you need to, you can also take her to the stage of "The Singer" to do live harmony. Of course, if you have a better candidate, I don't have a problem, and I'm going to call you over to discuss this matter in a moment. ”

"Of course I don't have an opinion on the candidate you like!" Hearing that she was here to help her record harmony, Jiang Kailin breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the two little girls beside Xiao Yao and Fang Yi and said, "What about these two little sisters?"

"This child's name is Zhou Jiaqi, a member of the choir of the Shencheng Children's Palace, and I invited him to record the children's harmony of this song. Xiao Yao pointed to the seven or eight-year-old girl beside Fang Yi and said, "But she is only responsible for the studio version of the children's harmony, and she can't go to Xiangnan with you." By the way, you still have to communicate with the "Singer" program team and ask them to help you find a few children's harmonies on the scene. In the live version, one is too little, but not too many, four or five is fine. ”

"I'll tell Director Tao, it shouldn't be a big problem. Jiang Kailin nodded, and looked at the little girl beside Xiao Yao again.

"This one has nothing to do with this song. Xiao Yao pointed to the teenage girl next to him and said, "Her name is Tang Jingjing, she is my student, and she is purely here to study." ”

"Why did you find so many people to come over at once?" Wu You asked.

"Kelsang Ram was contacted by me last night and flew here from Rongcheng today. I just got off the plane in the afternoon and came straight over. Zhou Jiaqi and Jingjing are both students and came over after school. Xiao Yao smiled.

"You also specially helped me find such two harmony singers, I really don't know what to say," Jiang Kailin said gratefully, "In terms of fees, I will definitely not treat them badly!"

"I'm a producer, and that's my business. Xiao Yao smiled, "The cost is all in the production fee." But if you invite Kelsang Ram to Shonan, you'll have to talk to her about it alone. ”
