After the broadcast of this episode recorded on May 3, the performance of the two young female singers, Gong Chen and Xu Yuan, became the biggest highlight of this episode. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBoth of them are young newcomers with good figures, good looks, and good singing skills, both of which are gorgeous and beautiful, and their wonderful singing are very eye-catching.

There is a strong contrast between the two in terms of visual effects, white and black, and still and moving in their performance styles, but they are very harmonious and tacit in their chorus. Coupled with Xiao Yao's gimmicks such as writing songs and arranging songs, doing styling, designing masks, and being makeup artists, their limelight completely overshadowed the other four singers in the current period, and became the focus of discussion and comments on the Internet by the audience.

The data shows that the ratings of this episode of the program have soared by two percentage points compared with the previous issue, and in terms of the number of clicks on various cooperative video websites, the number of clicks on the video network of this episode of the program has more than doubled compared with the previous issue. Whether it is the comments of netizens under the video or the barrage sent by netizens when the video is played, there are more information about these two than the other four singers combined. Such a result also made the program team regret that the two of them left after only participating in one episode.

In addition to the two female singers, Xiao Yao, who appeared in the lounge, was also a focus of attention from the audience. When Xiao Yao actually took off his mask in the lounge, many viewers exclaimed as if they were watching the singer unveil his face. And Xiao Yao not only wrote songs, arranged songs, did styling and designing masks, but also personally followed the scene to be a follower for the two female singers, which naturally attracted comments from many netizens.

Like the guests of the guessing panel at the scene, many viewers easily guessed Gong Chen's identity by following Xiao Yao's clues. After all, after the scandal some time ago, Gong Chen joined Qi Jia Studio after terminating the contract with the previous company, and the subsequent single release and singing of film and television songs can be seen that Qi Jia Studio has put a lot of thought into packaging and promoting Gong Chen, and it is not too surprising that Xiao Yao personally went out to do these things for Gong Chen. What makes people feel a little puzzled is how Xu Yuan was favored by Xiao Yao and enjoyed the same treatment as Gong Chen, could it be that Qi Jia's studio is ready to poach people again and wants to sign Xu Yuan?

Following this line of thought, there are really a lot of gossip entertainment media that have sent out some gossip that Xu Yuan will jump to Qi Jia's studio. It's just that before this news really became a trend, Qi Jia Studio, Xu Yuan himself, and Xu Yuan's Diman Records issued statements to clarify, denying the rumors that Xu Yuan would change his hometown in the near future and jump to Qi Jia Studio.

So this is purely Xiao Yao's interest, and he took Xu Yuan and Gong Chen to play in the show together? It has nothing to do with job hopping or anything? Judging from the follow-up actions, it seems that this is really the case.

The way Xiao Yao's new songs meet the public often doesn't follow the routine, and often suddenly appears in a certain show. As a result, many of his songs are first performed live, and there is no pattern to when the official studio version will be released. For example, Gong Chen and Chen Chen performed "I Can Only Accompany You Here" before, and the Korean song "Alone" performed by Green Apple Girl, there has been no official studio version until now, and many fans who want to listen to the studio version are still looking forward to it.

But this time, Xiao Yao's movements were quite fast. Just a week after the show aired, the official studio versions of the three songs that Gong Chen and Xu Yuan performed on the show met with fans. Gong Chen's solo "Water Tune Song Head: When Will the Bright Moon Be There" and the two sang "Songs Not for Anyone" did not release physical records, but directly released the official studio version on the music website for netizens to listen to and download for free.

Although the song "Midsummer Light Year" sung by Xu Yuan is also a studio version produced by Xiao Yao himself, Qi Jia Studio directly handed it over to Xu Yuan's owner Diman Records, and let them operate the release of Xu Yuan's single by themselves.

Qi Jia Studio's attitude towards Xu Yuan and Diman Records reminded many people of Gong Chen's former employer, AMG. Many people think that if it weren't for AMG's own hype about Gong Chen and Xiao Yao's fake scandal, I'm afraid Gong Chen would still be staying at AMG now, whether it is a single, the ending song of the TV series or the performance in the show, Gong Chen should be the same, and AMG will benefit a lot from it like Diman now.

Xu Yuan and Gong Chen are both singers who have only released singles and have not released albums. The last time Xu Yuan released a single was when the iron was hot not long after the end of "The Voice" last year, and it has been eight or nine months now, so after Xiao Yao gave "Midsummer Light Year" to Xu Yuan, Diman immediately arranged to help her release a second physical single disc. Gong Chen's single has only been released for a month, and the re-release of singles is a bit too frequent, so Qi Jia only released an electronic version on the music website.

And the song "Song Not for Anyone" sung by the two, Diman originally wanted to come over and release it together with Xu Yuan's single, but Xiao Yao did not agree, on the one hand, Qi Jia did not want this song with the participation of singers from his own company to be released by other companies, on the other hand, Xiao Yao made a MV with this song, and if the copyright was sold to Diman, Xiao Yao would not be so convenient to play.

In his previous life, Lin Junjie's MV for "A Song Not for Anyone" was filmed very carefully and touching. And Xiao Yao happened to have been filming the MV some time ago, since he wrote this song, he also wanted to make the MV of this song, and express the meaning he wanted to express in this song in his own way.

And the reason why it is said to be "doing" rather than "shooting" is because Xiao Yao didn't plan to shoot anything more for this MV, but was going to use the existing materials to complete it through editing.

In the previous life, the MV was a story in which the singer's own color images were interspersed with several black and white pictures. What makes Xiao Yao remember deeply are the few stories in the black and white pictures, which gave him a sense of shock watching a documentary. And in this life, Xiao Yao plans to throw away the color shots of all the singers, and the entire MV is presented in black and white. He wants to collect videos of such real things directly from the Internet, turn them into black and white images, and clip them together to make a real documentary MV. Although the lack of interspersed with those symbolic color pictures makes the whole MV a little worse than the original version in the previous life in terms of depth and force, the all-black-and-white documentary version can allow the audience to understand the meaning that Xiao Yao wants to express through this song more simply and directly.

The theme of the whole song is to express the spirit of mutual help between people and the gratitude to the nameless people who help others when they are in trouble. Speaking of this kind of news that promotes positive social energy seems to be not uncommon, it seems that this kind of video can be seen on the Internet from time to time, but it is not a very simple and easy thing to really find it, especially Xiao Yao doesn't want any disputes in this MV, in addition to finding a true story video with a suitable MV theme, Xiao Yao also needs to contact the original publisher or photographer of the video, and obtain permission from the video shooter to let him use those videos in the MV. After the release of this MV, it will also play a role in promoting the song, and this song needs to be paid to download on music websites, and he is the copyright owner of this song, these videos can be regarded as commercial use when they are put into the MV.

For such a troublesome matter, Xiao Yao naturally pulled his assistant Fang to help together. In fact, the process of negotiating a license is not difficult, and the music video for this song is a very positive and positive music video, which is in line with the original intention of most of these video shooters to post it online. Xiao Yao, a talented star who is just popular, personally found them to use their video as MV material, and they would happily agree regardless of whether there is financial remuneration or not. The difficulty is only in those videos that have been widely circulated and forwarded on the Internet countless times, and then find out the online account that was first sent and get in touch with the photographer himself.

"A pregnant woman in the subway car is in labor, and the passengers work together to send her to the hospital", "The wall suddenly collapsed, and passers-by worked together to dig out the buried", "The injured at the scene of the car accident were pressed, and everyone worked together to lift the car to save people" and other seven or eight videos selected by Xiao Yao found the original uploader and photographer after Xiao Yao and Fang Yi's efforts, and after obtaining their consent, these videos also became the original material for Xiao Yao's MV.

In addition to converting all the videos into black and white, Xiao Yao also put a lot of effort into the editing of the videos. The total length of the eight videos is more than 20 minutes, and Xiao Yao's song is only more than four minutes in total, so naturally there is not so much content, only the most essential clips need to be selected. In addition, Xiao Yao did not simply play the eight video clips in such a sequence and finished, but fully used the editing technology to intersperse and combine them together, so that they can better cooperate with the background singing.

The protagonists in these videos are ordinary people, and there are more than one ordinary people, and whenever the phrase "who is he" is sung in the song, it is also the most touching scene in the video, as if the singer is helping the audience ask the audience who the nameless people in the video are who are enthusiastic about helping others. And when "who is he" appears continuously at the end of the song, Xiao Yao reviewed the pictures in the eight videos collectively by flashing the freeze-frame frame.

Even if all the original video materials in the hands of the photographer are obtained, these videos are uneven in terms of image quality and clarity and the stability of the shooting lens, and the picture quality will inevitably deteriorate further after being converted to black and white pictures, but after Xiao Yao's editing and the song is made into a MV, it can touch the viewer's heart more than any original video.

Xu Yuan and Gong Chen's singing in the show is the first time that the song has appeared, and it is a live version, so both the attention of the listeners and Xiao Yao in the focus of the arrangement are to better show the charm of the two voices, and it is easy for people to ignore the lyrics of the song and the meaning they want to express. In the MV, Xiao Yao used the studio version that was later re-recorded, and there were many less intentional skills in the live version, and the whole song was a lot softer. As the background music of the MV, it also makes it easier for the viewer to pay attention to the theme and picture that the lyrics of the song want to express.

After the production of this MV, Xiao Yao did not send it to the music channel of the TV station to participate in the MV chart, but directly uploaded it to several free music websites and video websites for netizens to watch for free. And after this MV was released on the website, it quickly aroused the interest of netizens.
