During the Spring Festival this year, Xiao Yao gave himself a total of four days off. After visiting the homes of Zhao Rui, Zhou Zhihao and others on the third day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Yao set off for Shencheng on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

According to the previously arranged itinerary, Xiao Yao's next few jobs are "The Voice of Dreams" on Zhedong Satellite TV, "Instant Electronic Music" on Haiyan Video and "The Character of Actors" on Qiqu.com. The first two programs were recorded in Hangzhou, not far from Shencheng, so Xiao Yao returned to Shencheng in advance to prepare.

In terms of time, the closest is the recording of "The Voice of Dreams", but the rule of this show is to designate performance songs to the guests on the day of recording, and the guests are required to create them on the spot, so there is no way to prepare in advance, so after Xiao Yao returned to Shencheng, he mainly prepared for the opening performance of "Instant Electronic Music".

"Instant Electronic Music" is an electronic music program. Although Xiao Yao is not a professional electronic musician, he has also produced music works in electronic music. In terms of the results of his music works alone, several of Xiao Yao's electronic music works are even the best and most well-known on various foreign electronic music lists, and his stage name YS can even be called the most famous Chinese electronic music producer abroad.

Among all Xiao Yao's electronic music works, the song "faded" that he and Gong Chen collaborated on is the best electronic music song on the foreign electronic music list, and it is very well-known among electronic music lovers at home and abroad. When the program team first contacted Xiao Yao, they suggested that Xiao Yao perform Xiao Yao's song at the beginning of the show.

This song is a collaboration with Gong Chen. To perform live, under normal circumstances, you have to add Gong Chen, the singer. Unfortunately, the recording time of the first episode of the show happened to conflict with Gong Chen's schedule. After learning this, the "Instant Electronic Music" program team suggested that several girls in the 101 girl group cooperate with Xiao Yao instead.

The 101 girl group came out of its own program, and now the brokerage contract is also with the brokerage company under the parent company group, which is regarded as its own person. Arranging for the members of the girl group to cooperate with Xiao Yao for the opening performance is naturally a strategy for Haiyan Video to take the opportunity to praise its own people.

But after all, this is an electronic music program, not a girl group program. There are a total of eleven people in the women's group, and for the sake of the effect of the program, the program team did not ask Xiao Yao to bring all these eleven girls, but recommended Wei Yunjing, Ai Jun and JoJo, who are more outstanding in the group.

These three people have their own specialties, Ai Jun is the vocal leader, Wei Yunjing is the dance leader, and JoJo is the rap leader. The program team thinks that the singer has changed, and the overall feeling of the song is better to make some changes, and suggests that Xiao Yao make some adaptations of the song appropriately, and it is best to add some passages that let Wei Yunjing perform the dance that he is good at and the Rap that JoJo is good at.

Xiao Yao himself also thinks that in the case of a singer change, it is not interesting to make a live version that is similar to the original. But as far as this song is concerned, Xiao Yao likes this song because he likes the ethereal feeling, and he doesn't even want to change the singer, let alone make an adaptation, add dance and rap.

is just an opening performance, Xiao Yao didn't want Gong Chen to lose the opportunity of a long-term guest of the music program to accommodate himself, and he didn't want to listen to the program team's adaptation, so he took the initiative to perform a new work. However, if you want to perform a new work, then the musicians and singers you want to cooperate with will naturally have to choose by yourself.

Without violating the established rules of the show, Xiao Yao is never afraid to perform new musical works in the show, and to some extent, this has even become a habitual label for Xiao Yao, which can cause some topics every time.

Should Xiao Yao take the three members of the girl group to perform an adapted version of the old song, or should Xiao Yao choose someone to perform a new electronic music work? This multiple-choice question is not very difficult for the program team to choose. In the comparison of praising oneself and the effect of the program and the topicality, the program team did not hesitate to choose the latter. After all, praising one's own people is incidental, and it is the most basic thing for the program team to do a good job in this program.

When these were discussed, Xiao Yao's new electronic music work had not yet been completed, and it was impossible for the music director of the program team to review it. However, Xiao Yao's reputation is outside, and the program team is very confident in Xiao Yao's creative ability, but they don't care much about this.

These things were all set down years ago. Before the Chinese New Year, Xiao Yao was busy with other things, and he didn't care about new electronic music works. After returning to Shencheng in the fourth year of junior high school, Xiao Yao really began to get busy with this matter.

Although Xiao Yao's new work is an electronic music work, there are also many other instruments in the soundtrack, and if it is a live performance, Xiao Yao still needs to find some musicians. In addition, there is a singing part in this work, which is suitable for female singers to sing, and Xiao Yao also needs to find a female singer to work with.

It's still the Spring Festival holiday, but as an entertainer, it's normal to work during the Spring Festival. Working with Xiao Yao and doing the opening performance on Haiyan's show are both very attractive, and Xiao Yao estimates that it will not be too difficult to find someone.

In terms of musicians, Xiao Yao's first contact was Sun Tingting. This new work has a violin in the soundtrack. Since Sun Tingting returned to China, whenever Xiao Yao needed a violinist, Sun Tingting was naturally the first choice.

Sun Tingting originally planned to come to Shencheng to meet Xiao Yao after the New Year, but now Xiao Yao needs her help, and it is not a problem to come a few days in advance. As for other musicians, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting know a lot, Xiao Yao found a few, Sun Tingting helped recommend a few, and it was quickly determined.

In terms of singers, Xiao Yao thought about it for a while and first contacted Ai Jun. Ai Jun is a co-singer recommended to her by the program team before, and there should be no problem with the original schedule. But after all, Xiao Yao had rejected the recommendation of the program team before, and I don't know if the agency had arranged any other activities for her during this time after refusing.

Ai Jun herself didn't know that the program team recommended her to cooperate with Xiao Yao with two other teammates, but their agency of the girl group knew about it.

received a call from Xiao Yao's studio and learned that Xiao Yao had found Ai Jun to cooperate again, Haiyan Entertainment was a little overjoyed. Although the company actually arranged commercial performances for the girl group, compared with Xiao Yao's side, of course, the opportunity to cooperate with Xiao Yao to do the opening performance on Haiyan Video's new program is even more rare. Haiyan Entertainment didn't let Xiao Yao know about Ai Jun's schedule conflict, so he agreed on the phone on the spot, and then arranged to pull Ai Jun out of the commercial performance.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Sun Tingting and other musicians and Ai Jun, a female vocal, gathered in Xiao Yao's studio rehearsal room in Shencheng to start rehearsing and preparation.

However, everyone's rehearsal only lasted for two days, and on the seventh day of the new year, Xiao Yao temporarily bid farewell to the entire rehearsal team and went to Hangzhou alone to participate in the recording of Zhedong Satellite TV's "The Voice of Dreams".

"The Voice of Dreams" was not recorded in the studio of Zhedong TV, but in a studio in Hangzhou that specializes in recording such programs.

In this show, the celebrity guests are assigned to perform songs on the spot, and they are adapted and rehearsed on the spot. The stage performance part was recorded in the evening, the official song was announced at noon, and the arrangement and rehearsal time was six hours in the afternoon. This also means that Xiao Yao, the flying guest, like the four regular celebrity guests, will arrive at the filming location before noon.

"Hello Xiao Yao, I'm your co-director Huang Qi. Xiao Yao came to the recording studio from the hotel in the car arranged by the program team, and as soon as he got off the car at the door, a woman in her thirties greeted him. Behind her is a videographer with a video camera.

This is a music reality show, in addition to the performances on the stage, some behind-the-scenes footage of the guests will also be played in the show, so from the moment Xiao Yao entered the studio, he followed the shooting crew to shoot.

"Hello Director Huang!" Xiao Yao smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Huang Qi's hand.

"Huh, are you here alone?" Huang Qi found that no one got out of the car behind Xiao Yao, and the car that picked him up actually drove away directly, and asked a little strangely.

"What? Do you have to bring someone else?" Xiao Yao said strangely.

"In our program, we asked the guest teachers to adapt the songs. This kind of work, very few guest teachers are done by themselves. Huang Qi explained with a smile, "Even a singer-songwriter like Mr. Rong Jun, who is good at writing songs, brings his own producer and other music team members to help make arrangements together." ”

"I don't have a music team, I'm alone!" Xiao Yao smiled.

"Oh," Huang Qi remembered that the behind-the-scenes production list of Xiao Yao's album announced at the Golden Disc Awards that year was almost all Xiao Yao's name, nodded with a smile, and said suspiciously, "But it's just that there is no music team to help, why don't you even have a private team member such as an assistant?"

"My assistant has something at home and hasn't come back to work yet!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "It's not that I can't go out without my assistant, and I can do without an assistant." ”

After Pei Minyi finished working with the crew of "Donkey Gets Water", she resigned and opened her own studio. Xiao Yao's personal studio helped Xiao Yao hire a new personal assistant. When the new personal assistant came home for the Chinese New Year, there was an emergency at home, so he called Xiao Yao to ask for a few days off. Xiao Yao was released home on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, so he was granted leave. Today's itinerary was arranged a year ago, since Xiao Yao was allowed to take a vacation, and now he is still in the Spring Festival holiday, and he doesn't want the studio to find someone to replace him temporarily, so he came over alone.

In fact, Sun Tingting originally wanted to come to Hangzhou with Xiao Yao and give Xiao Yao a temporary cameo as an assistant. But Xiao Yao refused on the grounds that he would never treat his wife as an assistant, and left Sun Tingting in Shencheng to continue rehearsing with the musicians.

"What a good boss!" Huang Qi smiled, waved his hand and made a gesture of please, "Let's go and see your lounge first, which is also the preparation room for your song arrangement." This way, please!"

"Okay, thank you. Xiao Yao bent down slightly and followed Huang Qi to the lounge.

On the way to the lounge, Huang Qi thought of another question and asked, "I heard that your assistant is a part-time makeup artist, so you don't even bring a makeup artist?"

"Hmm. Xiao Yao nodded, "But your program team should have a makeup artist, right? Even if you don't have it, it doesn't matter, I can do my own makeup and styling." My show looks are not complicated, I can do it myself!"

Because Xiao Yao doesn't like too many people to follow, this new assistant candidate, like Pei Minyi at the beginning, is also an assistant and a makeup artist. Generally speaking, such a person is difficult to find, because it means that a professional makeup artist has to do the work of an assistant. But with Pei Minyi's example there, there is still no shortage of professional makeup artists who are willing to be Xiao Yao's assistants.

"That's what I said," Huang Qi smiled bitterly, "Our program team has makeup artists and assistants, if you need it, we can also arrange someone for you to help you temporarily, you don't have to come by yourself." ”

"Really?" Xiao Yao smiled, "Then can I still ask for a few arrangers?"

"That's not good!" Huang Qi immediately said, "In terms of music, you or your team can only do it yourself, and our program team will not provide you with any help in this regard." ”

"However," Huang Qi paused, and reminded with a smile and whispered, "Celebrity guests help each other, the program team is not forbidden, if you need help, you can go to other celebrity mentors to communicate." ”

"Okay, I remembered, thank you!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded.

While speaking, Xiao Yao had already come to his lounge.

The celebrity guest lounge in this show doubles as an arranger and creation studio, with electronic keyboards, guitars and other musical instruments in it, which are very well arranged.

"That's good!" Xiao Yao looked around in the lounge, tried the instruments inside, and praised with a satisfied smile.

"If you like it, it's fine!" Huang Qi smiled.

"Well, are the other teachers here? Can I go to the door or something now?" Xiao Yao looked up and asked.

The program team said that the designated songs for the celebrity guests were announced at 12 o'clock at noon, and the time has not yet come, and there is no way to make an adaptation in advance. This lounge is good, but it's a bit boring to stay like this all the time.

"It's coming, but the director said that your identity should be kept secret, and you can't meet with the four mentors in advance. Huang Qi said.

"Huh?" Xiao Yao was surprised for a moment, and then said dissatisfiedly, "You just said that I can communicate with other celebrity mentors! This secret identity, you can't meet in advance, how can you communicate?

"No!" Huang Qi shook his head, "What the director means is that you can't meet with the designated songs until they are revealed!"

"Isn't that right?" Xiao Yao said suspiciously, "I also watched the previous episodes, and sometimes the flying guests and the regular guests sit together to reveal the designated songs!"

"You also said that sometimes, and not every episode is like that. Huang Qi said with a smile, "The arrangement of this part of each episode of the show is different, and today's episode, you will reveal it separately from them." ”

"Since every episode of the program is not necessarily, it is not a fixed rule, and it is not impossible to change. Xiao Yao said to Huang Qi, "Do you see how lonely and boring I am sitting here alone? Why don't you talk to the director about changing the arrangement of this issue and let me meet them in advance?"

"This~" Huang Qi hesitated.

"Think about it, I know Sister Xue Ying, I want to go over in advance, and I will definitely be able to contribute some highlights to the show. Xiao Yao said again, "Don't you want the show to be more watching?"

"yes!" Huang Qi remembered Xiao Yao's past performance in various variety shows, and couldn't help but nodded.

Even if you don't consider Xiao Yao's personal relationship with Liang Xueying, Xiao Yao himself is also a good player with a very good sense of variety shows and can create highlights of the show. There is no need for such good conditions, I really don't know what the person who formulated the process of this episode of the show thought in the first place?" Huang Qi scolded in his heart, stood on Xiao Yao's side, and said to Xiao Yao, "You wait a minute, I'll go discuss it with the director!"

"Okay, I'm sorry to trouble Director Huang!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Wait a minute, I'll be back soon!" Huang Qi said, and hurriedly pushed the door out.

Although he has a walkie-talkie and a phone on his body, Huang Qi thinks it's better to say this kind of thing in person.

After a while, Huang Qi returned.

As soon as he entered the door, Huang Qi smiled and said to Xiao Yao: "The director agreed! Those people are now eating hot pot in the dream hall, let's go and surprise them!"

"What?" Xiao Yao jumped up from his chair, "They are eating hot pot in the hall lively, but I am sitting here alone, this treatment is too different, right? Fortunately, I fought for it myself!"

"Uh~" Huang Qi choked and explained with a smile, "They eat hot pot, which is an arrangement related to the process of revealing the designated songs." Besides, didn't that tell you to go with me?"
