Chapter 247: Give Me Time for a Song
"One more song!" After Xiao Yao smiled and bowed to several singers and agents, Hong Wei and Liang Xueying couldn't wait to say in unison. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"It's so lively, did I miss something?" Wei Shile, who pushed the door in, looked at the lively singer lounge and said.
"Of course I missed it," Hong Wei said with a smile, "Xiao Yao is having a concert again, this time playing the saxophone." ”
"Oh, what a pity!" Wei Shile clapped his hands regretfully, and then asked, "Is it over?"
Hong Wei was about to answer, and just as he started, another staff member pushed the door in. It turned out to be Xiao Yao's rehearsal time, and this was to inform Xiao Yao to go to the studio for rehearsal.
"I'll go to the rehearsal first," Xiao Yao spread his hands with a smile, and handed the saxophone in his hand to Hong Weidao, "You guys play slowly by yourself." ”
"One song isn't enough, we'll wait for you to come back. Hong Wei shouted. The rehearsal must not be delayed, but she didn't plan to let Xiao Yao go like this.
"Let's talk about it when we come back. Xiao Yao waved his hand and walked towards the door of the singer's lounge.
Xiao Yao's recital was suspended, and Tian Wei also walked to the new Wei Shile with a gift. Xiao Siqi was called to the rehearsal after arriving, she had already met just now, and Wei Shile, who had just come in, was the last singer to arrive today. After Xiao Yao left, everyone's focus was also refocused on today's newcomer Tian Wei.
Xiao Yao's competition song in this scene is to sing and dance at the same time, and naturally he sings and dances during the rehearsal. When the rehearsal was over, Xiao Yao, who had been dancing for more than half an hour, returned to the lounge with an obviously soaked shirt and sweat. Seeing him like that, the other singers were embarrassed to pull him to play the saxophone immediately, but urged him to hurry back to his room to clean up and change his clothes, so as not to catch a cold.
Xiao Yao, who dried himself and changed his clothes, came out and was called to shoot the pre-game interview, and when he returned to the lounge, the most active Hong Wei was called to the rehearsal, and Tian Wei, who had greeted everyone and given gifts, said goodbye to everyone and went back to his room, and the other singers also went back to their rooms. As for Xiao Yao, everyone knew from the way he came back from the rehearsal that he was going to sing and dance today, which was quite hard, so they didn't insist that he continue to play for everyone, so that he could recharge his energy with peace of mind.
The rehearsals of the singers were all over, and the seven singers who had reunited also left the room and went to the hall on the first floor to start the fixed process of the program and decide the order of appearance.
This time, the decision was still by lottery, and Xiao Yao still sent Shen Man to draw for him. This time, Shen Man helped Xiao Yao draw a fifth-place appearance that he hadn't had before, but looked very good.
At the end of the draw, Xiao Yao went back to the room to see the screenwriter as usual and took the host script of the scene. After making a few minor changes, Xiao Yao quickly memorized the script.
The competition began, and after the sound of the five-second countdown sounded, Xiao Yao appeared on the stage in the studio again.
"Yo, why is this kid dressed up coquettish today, is it because he wants to dance?" Hong Wei pointed to Xiao Yao on TV and smiled.
Xiao Yao on the stage was wearing a fuchsia suit, this color is rare in Xiao Yao's dressing style, not to mention that the fabric of the clothes is also mixed with some thin gold and silver silk threads, and the geometric pattern decorations composed of crystal stones on the left chest are slightly reflected under the illumination of the light, making his whole person shiny on the stage. Not counting the two special costumes of Xiao Yao's armor costume when he sang "Descendants of the Dragon" and Hua Dan's costume when he performed "Dream Chasing Order", this is the most attractive of the regular clothes worn by Xiao Yao.
Everyone knows that with Xiao Yao's character, he will definitely not deliberately choose this outfit in order to be the host, and he also said last time that he will no longer go backstage to change his clothes for the sake of performance, so everyone also guessed that Xiao Yao's body must be his performance costume when he competed today. For Xiao Yao, who will bring them other additional surprises in addition to the song and singing itself in every performance, the audience is also looking forward to what kind of tricks he will play today.
The opening remarks reminded the audience that today is the last kicking game, and there will be singers who will be eliminated today, and then it is time for the audience to scream excitedly to read the advertising words, Xiao Yao presided over according to the script and his habits in previous issues, and after the completion of several fixed processes, Xiao Yao began to introduce today's first competition repertoire to everyone.
Xiao Siqi, Wei Shile, Qin Xiaodong, and Hong Wei gave wonderful performances under Xiao Yao's introduction in turn, and next, it was the turn of Xiao Yao, who appeared in the fifth place.
"Thank you very much Sister Hong for your wonderful performance!Let's give another round of applause to Mr. Hong Wei!" Xiao Yao, who re-entered the stage, guided the audience to give applause to Hong Wei, who had just left the stage and was still in the exit passage.
"Alright, I'm going to introduce you to the next competition song. Xiao Yao waited for the applause of the audience to pause for a while, and then continued, "Everyone knows that in our show, each singer in each episode has only one chance to go on stage and sing a song for everyone. We singers prepare carefully every week for the performance of that song on stage. Here, all we have and what we need is just a song. ”
"The title of the next song happens to be "Give Me Time for a Song". Xiao Yao smiled and said, "Why did the next competing singer choose such a song? I guess this is exactly what he wants to say to everyone, I hope that after everyone listens to this song, he will still have time for a song on this stage next week." Of course, except for the time of hosting! Now please applaud the next competing singer!"
"Wow~"
"Phew~"
There was a cheer mixed with boos from the audience. When everyone heard the title of the song they had never heard before, the audience's first reaction was that the next singer to appear was Xiao Yao, but the sentence "I guess" made the audience have a trace of doubt. If it was really Xiao Yao, there should be no words like "I guess", but the last sentence "except for the time of hosting" made everyone determine that the next singer to appear was Xiao Yao, so some viewers also laughed and booed Xiao Yao's previous tricks.
"I'll go, this kid from Bayi has started to canvass votes directly with the title of the song!" In the hall of the singer's lounge, Xiao Siqi smiled and looked at Xiao Yao in the live TV screen.
"Then he has to be able to write a song like that. Qin Xiaodong said, "He doesn't necessarily want to just put such a song title that doesn't match the content of the lyrics to a song in order to say this sentence on stage, right?"
On the stage in the studio, when Xiao Yao introduced the next competition song, several figures appeared behind the stage one after another. When Xiao Yao finished his introduction, the audience found that they did not get off the stage from the front of the stage, but turned around and walked to the dimly lit middle and back of the stage.
Although the lighting was not good, the audience couldn't see Xiao Yao's appearance clearly for the time being, but judging from the movements of Xiao Yao's figure, it seemed that Xiao Yao took a hat from the hand of a figure who appeared on the stage and put it on his head, and then took a pair of gloves from the person's hand and put it on his hand.
Xiao Yao's figure put on his hat and gloves, and after turning to face the audience, he didn't look sideways at the bandleader Liu Tong on the side, signaling to him that he could start, and the top of the live stage was still dim, and the lights were not turned on after Xiao Yao was ready.
Just when the audience was a little confused, a bell rang like a countdown to the opening, only this time, the bell did not ring five times, but after the third bell fell, the stage suddenly turned on the lights, and the band moved at the same time. With the sound of music, the scene on the whole stage was clearly displayed in front of the audience.
There were no musicians on the stage, but eight people stood with four men, four women. Xiao Yao pinched the microphone and stood in the front center, three boys on the left, three girls on the right, and a girl behind him stood directly behind Xiao Yao, who was covered by Xiao Yao, and couldn't see her face clearly for the time being. The whole team stood in a diamond-shaped position, and with the prelude of the song that sounded on the scene, the eight people moved neatly and uniformly while doing dance moves and slowly marched forward on the stage.
"Is this going to sing and dance at the same time?!" Looking at the eight people on the stage, the audience immediately understood, and immediately burst into applause and cheers.
Now Xiao Yao's MV of "ThinkingOutLoud" is when it is popular, and there are many people who have seen it, and everyone has a very high evaluation of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting's very professional modern dance in the MV, and it is when I am interested in Xiao Yao's dancing skills, I didn't expect Xiao Yao to give you a dance today.
Among the eight people, the most eye-catching is undoubtedly Xiao Yao, who is standing in the middle of the front. Everyone's guess just now was correct, Xiao Yao had an extra black top hat with fuchsia sequins on his head at this time, a pair of black fingerless gloves with small crystal particles on his hands, and handsome dance moves, the whole person seemed to be shining.
"So handsome~" After the cheers, many viewers commented in their hearts. Among them, there are also several singers who have finished singing in the lounge hall and Liang Xueying and Tian Wei who are still waiting in the room.
"The rain soaked the sky, and it was ruined very exquisitely~" At the end of the music in the prelude, Xiao Yao raised the microphone to his mouth and began to sing. At the same time, his dancing movements did not stop, except for his left hand holding the microphone, all his dance moves maintained a very good neatness and consistency with the other seven dancers on the stage.
This is a song by Jay Chou in his previous life, and Xiao Yao's competition was also inspired by Jay Chou's performance of this song with Jolin Tsai at a concert. It's just that in Jay Chou's concert and Jolin Tsai's performance, the dance part only accounted for half of the whole song, so most of Xiao Yao's dances in this competition were designed by Xiao Yao separately.
Just looking at the difficulty and technical content of the movements, the dance moves designed by Xiao Yao for this performance are not only compared with the very professional modern dance in the MV of "ThinkingOutLoud", but even compared to the dance in "The Great Wall" that he collaborated with Chen Chen before, it is also very inferior.
The last time Xiao Yao sang and danced on the stage, it should be the time to perform the song "The Great Wall" at the Spring Festival Gala. Because that song was performed by Xiao Yao and Chen Chen together, except for the interlude in the middle and the end of the last song, the movements of the two were the same, and at other times he and Chen Chen took turns standing in front to sing and dance in the backup dance group. Both of them don't dance when they sing, and they don't sing when they dance, so they can't really sing and dance at the same time.
For this reason, the dance moves of "The Great Wall" designed by Xiao Yao are much more difficult in terms of technical difficulty than ordinary singing and dancing dancers, and even used a lot of movements from the "Riptide" dance troupe to participate in the "National Street Dance Competition", but because the LED lighting costume is too eye-catching, there are not too many people who discuss the difficulty of the dance moves alone.
This time the singing can only be Xiao Yao alone, Xiao Yao does not want a group of people to dance with him when he sings, but to participate in the whole dance, to really sing and dance at the same time. However, because of the limitation of holding a microphone, the difficulty of the dance moves designed by Xiao Yao for this performance cannot be high, which is no way.
In terms of the difficulty of the dance movements in the previous group dance, Xiao Yao's dance is the difficulty level of the dance danced by ordinary stars at concerts. For the audience at the scene, it will already make them satisfied to see the singer on the stage of "Singer" showing an average concert level dance in the process of singing and dancing, not to mention that Xiao Yao also added a lot of novel movements that seem not difficult, but feel particularly handsome or cool in this paragraph.
Although the audience seemed to be satisfied, Xiao Yao was not satisfied. Since he couldn't increase the difficulty of his dance moves, Xiao Yao wanted to play tricks elsewhere, which is why Xiao Yao specially invited Cheng Xi.
Of course, Cheng Xi is not the first highlight that appears in the dance of this song. The first highlight was completed by several backing vocals singers on the high stage behind the live stage to help Xiao Yao.
"Even if it's a mistake, I'm just afraid of making a mistake~"
"Over~"
When Xiao Yao sang the fourth sentence of the first main song, he deliberately dragged a long note on the penultimate word, and the last word in this sentence was sung by four backing singers. The word they sang was also a long note, and Xiao Yao also let his left hand holding the microphone leave his mouth when the backing singers sang this word, opened his arms, and did a handsome hip-hop dance move with the backup dancers.
"Call together~"
"Yume~"
"It's called ~"
"Pain~"
This action was completed, and the dance move was just to retract his arms, and Xiao Yao also took advantage of the situation to withdraw his left hand to his mouth, and then sang the next sentence of the song. When singing the first half of the fifth sentence, Xiao Yao still left the last word for the backing singers, and the dance at this time happened to be an action of opening his arms from his chest to the sides, Xiao Yao also let the left hand holding the microphone leave his mouth again, and presented this action completely with the backup dancers. In the second half of the sentence, this situation also appears again.
"Wow~" Seeing Xiao Yao's very smooth one-handed dance and seamless switching between two-handed dance, the audience at the scene excitedly sent a burst of applause and cheers.
This movement is almost technically difficult, but to have such a smooth effect, it is a great test of arrangement, choreography, and the ability to combine the two. Now everyone knows that Xiao Yao has very outstanding abilities in these two aspects, and since Xiao Yao participated in the show, the choreography and orchestration have never faked others, and they have always been designed by themselves, so this applause is also the audience's affirmation of Xiao Yao's talent in choreography and arrangement.
