Chapter 854: The Straight Man of Steel
"Let's not be kidding, are you all serious about what you just said?" Xiao Yao asked seriously, "If it's serious, I'll find someone to follow up on the cooperation I just said?"
These four mentors are all first-line celebrities in the music world, and they all have a considerable say in their work schedules. If they agree, they will have to find someone to formally follow up and talk about cooperation.
"Of course I'm serious!" Liang Xueying said first.
"As long as the quality of the songs is also sufficient, I don't mind singing OST for you!" Even Yiling said.
"If you ask me to write a song, of course I'll have no problem, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to like what you write when the time comes!" Rong Jun said with a smile.
"Me too!" Ling Chengjie also nodded.
"After the song is written, I will give it to the two teachers. Xiao Yao said to Lian Yiling and Liang Xueying, "But I may not have time to write songs in the near future, and it is estimated that it will take a while." Fortunately, the production cycle of the TV series is not short, so we don't need to worry. Let's settle the cooperation first, and when my song is written, the two of you think it's okay, and then we will slowly discuss the recording time. β
"As for you two teachers who write songs," Xiao Yao looked at Rong Jun and Ling Chengjie again, "If you need to, I can send you the script first, and you can see if there is any inspiration for the script first, if not, just wait until you finish filming and watch the sample before writing, anyway, post-production will take a lot of time!"
"No problem!" all four nodded.
"Okay! Then it's decided!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
A drama series can have these four big names in the music world as OST singers and creators respectively, which can definitely be regarded as a top-level configuration in Huaxia. Being able to pull all four of them into the behind-the-scenes music team of his TV series project, Xiao Yao was very proud.
After Xiao Yao returned to the lounge, he waited for Li Shiyu to come over and leave each other's contact information before saying goodbye to her and leaving, and happily went to supper with several tutors.
promised Li Shiyu something, of course Xiao Yao would not break his promise. However, he only promised to write a song for Li Shiyu on stage, but he didn't promise to be a pusher to hold her. Xiao Yao didn't plan to invite Li Shiyu to go with him, so he didn't even mention it to her.
After participating in "The Voice of Dreams", Xiao Yao's next work itinerary is Haiyan Video's new program "Instant Electronic Music". The recording place of this show is still in Hangzhou, eastern Zhejiang Province, Xiao Yao returned to Shencheng and practiced with Sun Tingting and Ai and others for two days, and then came to Hangzhou again.
Xiao Yao is only the opening guest of the first episode of this show, neither a resident celebrity guest, nor a special guest who only appears in certain episodes, if it is not necessary, he may not even have to say anything. Although the preparation time is relatively long, relatively speaking, this is Xiao Yao's shortest recent appearance time and the smallest proportion of the itinerary in the show.
Although Xiao Yao's appearance in this show is not long and accounts for a small proportion, for the stage effect of the performance, Xiao Yao still brought people to Hangzhou a day in advance, so as to have a better state to rehearse and perform at the program recording venue.
The show was recorded at Haiyan's own filming base. The year before last, Haiyan Video recorded "Creation 101" here, and the program team also arranged Xiao Yao and his party in the hotel where Xiao Yao stayed when he came to record the show.
The official recording of the show was on the evening of the second day, and the rehearsal time for Xiao Yao's opening performance was scheduled in the afternoon, and Xiao Yao and the others did not have any tasks on the day they arrived in Hangzhou. After settling down in the hotel, Xiao Yao gave the accompanying musician and singer Ai a vacation, and took Sun Tingting to Hangcheng City to play.
When Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting confirmed their relationship, Xiao Yao participated in "The Voice" in Hangzhou, and at that time, the two went to West Lake to play a lap as soon as they confirmed their relationship.
Although Hangzhou was still winter at this time, the temperature was only in single digits, and the sky was rainy and rainy, it did not affect the enthusiasm of the two to travel together.
The winter rain can't extinguish the enthusiasm of the two, but it can wet their hair and clothes. Although both of them had prepared rain gear, after playing outside for most of the day, they couldn't help but look a little embarrassed when they returned to the hotel that night.
Tomorrow there will be a rehearsal and recording of the opening performance, and the two are also afraid of catching a cold and getting sick. After returning to the hotel, both of them rushed back to their rooms to take a shower and change clothes.
After the beauty bath, it is naturally a unique style. The two took a shower and changed into clean clothes, Xiao Yao looked at Sun Tingting's flushed face, and couldn't help but feel moved.
"Knock knock!" Just as Xiao Yao wanted to find Sun Tingting to do something unspeakable, a knock on the door sounded very inappropriately.
"Who?" Xiao Yao muttered very irritably, turning around and walking towards the door.
"Wait a minute, change your clothes!" Xiao Yao looked at the cat's eye on the door, looked back at the bathrobes on himself and Sun Tingting, and shouted helplessly outside the door.
"Who?" asked Sun Tingting curiously.
"Xin Yi!" Xiao Yao turned around and said, "I guess I came here to say hello, and there is a camera behind me, so it's not good not to let people in!"
Xin Yi is the three star managers of this show, that is, one of the three resident guests equivalent to the roles of mentors and captains.
"The camera doesn't seem to say that there is such a link!" Sun Tingting said strangely.
According to the process of the program, Xiao Yao, the guest performer, may not even meet the three star managers during the recording tomorrow, so the program team did not specially arrange for Xiao Yao to meet with the three star managers.
"Maybe he's coming on his own? He came back from South Korea, and he has always been known for his hard work and politeness. Xiao Yao guessed, "The program team probably thought it was a good material, so they sent a follow-up crew to follow the shooting!"
Xin Yi was previously a Chinese member of the South Korean boy group and returned to China a few years ago to develop. Although he is now one of the top traffic stars in China, he has always maintained a hard-working and humble attitude.
"I knew I wouldn't share a room with you!" Sun Tingting glared at Xiao Yao, quickly packed up a set of clothes that would not be rude in front of the camera and went to the bathroom to change.
Xiao Yao took off his bathrobe directly and took out a few pieces of clothing to put on.
Although there is a camera outside the door, Sun Tingting's makeup is also very good. Considering that people were still waiting outside, Sun Tingting didn't even put on makeup after changing her clothes, and after hurriedly packing up the bathrobes of the two, she let Xiao Yao open the door and let Xin Yi outside.
"Hello Teacher Xiao Yao, I'm Xin Yi!" After Xiao Yao opened the door, Xin Yi stood at the door and bowed slightly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb!"
"No, no," Xiao Yao held Xin Yi's shoulder, stretched out a hand and shook it with him, "Brother Xin Yi, you can call me Xiao Yao!
"This is Teacher Sun Tingting, right?Hello, I'm Xin Yi!" After being let into the room by Xiao Yao, Xin Yi saw Sun Tingting and bowed slightly again.
"Hello Teacher Xin Yi!" Sun Tingting smiled back, "Please take a seat!"
"First meeting, a little heart!" Xin Yi did not sit down immediately, but reached out and handed over a paper bag he was carrying.
"Brother Xin Yi is too polite!" Xiao Yao took it with a smile, "I don't have any gifts!"
"No, no!" Xin Yi waved his hand again and again, "I'm uninvited, of course I have to prepare some greeting gifts, you are bothered by me, where do you need any gifts?"
"Please take a seat," Xiao Yao waved his hand again to invite Xin Yi to sit down on the sofa, and said with a smile, "Brother Xin Yi is too polite, you are older than me, I should visit you." β
"No, no," Xin Yi shook his head and said, "Actually, the program team didn't arrange for us to meet at all." It's just that I often hear Master remind you that you are very good and that there is a lot for me to learn. If I have the opportunity to meet, I will be close to you, so I took the liberty to come and visit you!"
The master in Xin Yi's mouth refers to Luo Chongwen. Luo Chongwen and Xin Yi are both resident guests on a reality show on Donghai Satellite TV, and the two are commensurate with their master and apprentice in the show. Originally, it was just a title in the show, but because Luo Chongwen had a very good relationship with Xin Yi, he took care of him very much in private and taught him a lot of things. Xin Yi regarded Luo Chongwen as a real master, so he brought this title outside the show.
The resident MC in that show is six male stars, and the relationship is very good. Xin Yi is the youngest of the six, who is both hard-working and humble, very polite, and a little cute, and is very loved and cared for by the other brothers. Although Xin Yi was often the target of "bullying" during the recording of that reality show, in private, several brothers were very good to him.
Xin Yi is from a Korean idol boy group, and he is very good at singing and dancing, but he is a little worse in acting, and he has been deliberately developing in the direction of an actor over the years. In the past two years, Xin Yi has starred in a TV series and a movie in which the two brothers are the protagonists in the reality show, and they are all big supporting roles, including the help of the two brothers.
Although Luo Chongwen has not acted in film and television dramas with Xin Yi, he is the master in Xin Yi's program and a mentor in his private life, and he has not mentioned Xin Yi's name in other programs, which is also very good to Xin Yi. When Xiao Yao recorded "Longing for Life" as a flying guest, Luo Chongwen also mentioned Xin Yi to Xiao Yao, and Xiao Yao naturally knew who Xin Yi's "master" was.
"I've also heard Teacher Chongwen mention you!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "So I didn't call you teacher since I saw you, I just called my brother." β
"Really?" Xin Yi asked with a smile, "Then how did Master tell you about me?"
"He said you worked very hard and were very humble and polite. Xiao Yao smiled, "Especially humility and politeness, let me learn from you!"
Don't look at Xin Yi's age is older than Xiao Yao, and he is a top traffic star in China, but in Luo Chongwen's eyes, Xiao Yao is much more mature and sophisticated than Xin Yi. So when Luo Chongwen mentioned Xin Yi to Xiao Yao, he said that he would try to take care of Xiao Yao when he had the opportunity to meet Xin Yi, and not let the "little sheep" be bullied. This kind of thing, Xiao Yao is not easy to say to Xin Yi, not to mention that there is a camera next to him, Xiao Yao just casually talks nonsense.
"No, no!" Xin Yi smiled humbly.
"Teacher Xin Yi, drink water!" Sun Tingting took out a few cans of drinks from the Xiaoice box in the room and placed them on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and said to Xin Yi.
"Thank you, thank you!" Xin Yi stretched out his hand, stood up and bowed slightly.
"That's not it?" Xiao Yao chuckled, "It's going to change me, and the most I can do when I say thank you is to sit and bend over or nod!"
In fact, this is also the normal reaction of most people, and it is already very polite. Xin Yi smiled, "It's just that I used to be in South Korea, and the rules and training in this area are very strict!"
"It's too!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, looking at Xin Yi and not speaking.
Now that the politeness is over, it's time to get down to business. Xin Yi opened the drink in front of him and took a sip, and asked Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao, I heard that you are the opening guest of the first show tomorrow?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yao continued to nod.
"I heard that the music you will perform tomorrow is a new song?" Xin Yi continued.
"Hmm!" Xiao Yao nodded again.
"Then you should have a demo, right? Can you let me listen to it first?" Xin Yi asked.
"Huh?" Xiao Yao looked at Xin Yidao with some surprise, "You came here to listen to my new song?"
Although Xiao Yao and several celebrity managers will not meet during the recording tomorrow, when Xiao Yao does the opening performance, several managers are sitting in the observation room on the second floor and watching, and they can also see and hear Xiao Yao's opening performance. Taking a step back, Xiao Yao will go to the program recording venue for rehearsals tomorrow afternoon, even if Xin Yi wants to listen in advance, he can go to the recording venue tomorrow afternoon to watch him rehearse, and if he can afford to come over and listen to it at night?
"Yes!" Xin Yi nodded, "In addition to visiting you this time, I also want to hear the new song you will perform tomorrow." β
"Our show is an electronic music show. A lot of the music I make contains electronic elements, and I like it very much, so I came to be the manager. Xin Yi continued, "I believe that there are very good electronic music people and electronic music works in the Chinese music scene, but to be honest, there are not many excellent and famous electronic music works now, especially there are not many internationally renowned electronic music works. Really counted, among the Chinese musicians, it is your electronic music works that are the most well-known in the world. β
"It's over!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"No, I really think so!" Xin Yi waved his hand and said, "You are the opening guest of this show, and the performance must also be an electronic music work, so I can't wait to hear it!"
"There is a demo, but isn't it better to listen to it live tomorrow?" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly, "It's night now, you still have to record the show tomorrow, is it better to rest early?"
Although the opening performance this time is also a new song, it is not a whim in the show, but it has been rehearsed and prepared in advance. Although Xiao Yao did not record the official version, he also recorded some samples during rehearsals.
"It's okay!" Xin Yi waved his hand, "I often make music until the early hours of the morning, and I can still work the next day, I'm fine!"
"But I have a problem!" Xiao Yao smiled bitterly again, waved his hand at Sun Tingting and said, "There are still people in my room." β
"I know, Teacher Sun Tingting, your girlfriend, you successfully proposed last month, and she is already your fiancΓ©e, otherwise you would not be able to live in a room. Xin Yi said, "Congratulations!"
"Thank you, but that's not the point!" Xiao Yao said helplessly.
"Oh~" Xin Yi suddenly said.
Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're afraid of disturbing her rest, aren't you?" Xin Yi pulled Xiao Yao to stand up and said, "Then you take the computer to my room! It just so happens that I also have some half-finished music works that I want you to listen to and give me some opinions! Let's exchange and learn from each other!"
"Huh?" Xiao Yao glared at Xiao Yao.
"What's wrong?" Xin Yi asked, "Everyone is a musician, isn't it normal to communicate more?, you don't want to talk to me about music?"
"I finally understand now that you haven't been in love at such an old age, and you don't even have a slightly decent scandal!" Xiao Yao sighed helplessly in his heart, "It turns out that it's not because you're a little sheep, but because you're a straight man of steel who can't understand words!"
