Entertaining Children

"Yes," Tao Ran nodded, "Liang Xueying, who was seventh in the last round, was No. 1 in this round, and Xiao Yao, who was No. 1 in the previous round, was seventh in this round. The two of them happen to be at the same head and one tail!"

"There is such a huge difference in rankings between two adjacent games, and it is the first time in the history of our program that two people appear at the same time." Tao Ran looked at Liang Xueying, then at Xiao Yao and said, "I am now You can guess Liang Xueying's feelings, so at this moment, I want to hear if Xiao Yao has anything to say."

Xiao Yao smiled at Liang Xueying, who was looking at him with complicated eyes, and then sat in his seat and said, "Actually, my dad has already analyzed the reason for this result in the rest hall, so I'm not particularly surprised by this result."

"From the perspective of mathematical statistics and probability theory, it is impossible for the remaining singers to have the sum of the two rankings less than eight. Although there is the most extreme case where they are all eight, this probability is very high. It’s very small. Normally, there will definitely be people whose rankings add up to more than eight. Although the program counts the sum of the votes won in the two shows, it doesn’t mean that the singer with the highest combined rankings in the two shows must be the one who is eliminated. But the ranking can also reflect some trends to a certain extent. Every time a singer is eliminated in this show, the combined ranking of the two competitions is generally greater than ten, so even if I get seventh this time, it is relatively safe Yes." Xiao Yao continued, "I can have the opportunity to sing the songs I want to sing on this stage, and at the same time, I can continue to stay on this show. I am already very satisfied."

"Of course, the results this time also sounded a wake-up call for me. Next week's match will be a single-elimination kick-off match. There will be no combination of two results. I will pay more attention to my preparations!" Xiao Yao added added.

"You mean, you prepared hastily for this performance?" Tao Ran asked, "Is it because helping Xueying involved too much energy?"

"Of course not," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "This time my performance looks relatively simple, because I think the performance of this song should be like this. That's how the show was designed, and it has nothing to do with helping Sister Xueying prepare for her performance."

"I said prepare more attentively. I mean song selection, oh no, when writing songs, be less self-willed and think more about the stage effect. The songs that will be produced in the future are more suitable for the nature of the competition on this stage. "Xiao Yao continued, "As for today's song, it's just not suitable for competition on this stage, but I still have confidence in this song itself, and I plan to release this song in the future At that time, in addition to Huaxia, it will also be released overseas simultaneously."

The song "Thinktloud" that Xiao Yao sang today is a song that Ed Sheeran, Huang's boss, won a Grammy award in his previous life. Xiao Yao doesn't believe that in this world, the performance of this song will be poor.

"I can help you with this!" Liang Xueying immediately grabbed Xiao Yao's wrist and said,

"My current record company has a long-term strategic partnership with Universal Music. The physical records are distributed by them and are responsible for overseas publicity and promotion. Universal's headquarters is in the United States, at least in North America. They have very good resources. There are also very good music publicity channels and experience.”

Universal is a world-class record company. After her debut, Liang Xueying was an artist under the Huaxia branch of Universal Records. After her contract expired, Liang Xueying came out with her friends to open a cultural communication company that is both a record company and an entertainment agency. Just as Xiao Siqi maintained a close cooperative relationship with China Entertainment after he came out of China Entertainment and opened his own studio, Liang Xueying's company also maintains a close long-term strategic cooperation relationship with Universal.

Compared with domestic resources, China Entertainment is slightly stronger than Universal, but when it comes to capabilities in overseas markets, a multinational group like Universal is obviously much stronger than a local company like China Entertainment that is based in China and radiates overseas. Liang Xueying was able to bring the concert to the United States, and the credit of Universal Music is indispensable.

"Thank you," Xiao Yao patted the back of Liang Xueying's hand holding her wrist, and said with a thankful smile, "but when it comes to overseas distribution channels, at least they are distribution channels for music in the United States, and I have one myself. Actually, I Two songs have already been released in the U.S. through Time Records.”

The two songs that Xiao Yao talked about were "aded" and "stosleep". Helping him release these two songs is the "Time" record company, also headquartered in the United States.

This record company is also a multinational group whose strength is not inferior to Universal. Its publicity and distribution capabilities in North America are not inferior to Universal. Although its influence in China is not as good as Universal, its distribution capabilities in Europe are slightly stronger than Universal. More importantly, Xiao Yao did not release these two songs through the Huaxia branch of "Time" Records to contact the "Time" US headquarters for overseas release, but "Time"'s US head office through the introduction of Keith Craig. The one who took the initiative to find Xiao Yao.

"Bayi has five songs on the Billboard singles list in the United States, three of which have reached the top 50, and one has entered the top ten. The song "Sugar" written for "Daydream" also won the The champion of the Billboard singles chart," Xiao Siqi broke the news with a smile, "Don't say that if he wants to release his music in the United States, he won't be able to find a local American record company to help him release it. It is much easier for any of us here. When he was an exchange student, some fans worried that he would not come back after staying in the United States. It is not unreasonable." Super Junba

Xiao Yao's single that entered the top ten of the Billboard was the song "Immortals" by the Immortals band. Relying on that animated movie, this song also made their band the first student band to appear on the Oscars stage. The song "thephoeni" written for the band Immortals last summer, and the three songs "aded" and "stosleep" that I collaborated with Gong Chen broke into the top 50 of the billboard without any other topics. .

"Oh, I'm going! The bulletin board's top list is all here. The most powerful big devil here is not me, but you!" Hong Wei looked at Xiao Yao and said. After several episodes of the program aired, some netizens on the Internet nicknamed Hong Wei the "Big Demon King".

"Sister Hong, don't be afraid, he wrote the championship single, not sung by him. Besides, this is a Chinese show, not in the United States!" Hong Wei's manager stretched out his hand, as if comforting He patted Hong Wei on the shoulder and said.

"Have you ever seen the Great Demon King who took seventh place?" Xiao Yao spread his hands and smiled wryly.

"Go, talk nonsense, who is afraid?" Hong Wei brushed off the manager's hand on his shoulder and said, "Will I be afraid of him, a young brat?"

"Well, Xiao Yao," Hong Wei leaned forward again, turned his head and said to Xiao Yao, "I think your song today is pretty good. As a human being, if you don't admit defeat, you can pick up wherever you fall. Get up. So you should come with an original English song in the next issue, and it would be better if it is a folk song! I don’t believe you will be seventh in the next issue!"

"Sister Hong, enough is enough!" Liang Xueying laughed and shouted, "Can you stop being so deceitful?"

"I'm not stupid!" Xiao Yao also laughed, "The next tournament will be eliminated in a single game. If the players in the gym get into the top four and I get seventh, then I have to get out! "

"By the way," Xiao Yao pointed at Hong Wei again, "When I came to kick the hall last week, I saw that you called everyone to unanimously deal with the singers who kicked the hall. Why did your style change after I became a regular singer? Change, or continue targeting me?"

"Uh..." Hong Wei was at a loss for words, but finally waved his hands and said, "Okay, I was wrong! Those who stay, everyone should continue to deal with the singer who kicked the hall."

"Let's stop talking here for now," Tao Ran had to take over the flow of the scene, "There are still five singers whose rankings have not been announced! Now we will continue to announce the rankings of other singers. Who do you want to listen to?"

"Sister Hong's?" Xiao Yao suggested, "She was second in the last round, so it should be relatively safe."

"Okay." Tao Ran looked at his phone and announced, "Teacher Hong Wei is still ranked second!"

"This ranking is definitely safe!" Hong Wei's manager immediately cheered.

"Congratulations!" The other singers also politely applauded.

"Thank you!" Hong Wei stood up and bowed to everyone.

"Sister Hong, I'll give you a nickname!" Xiao Yao looked at Hong Wei and said, "The big devil that the netizens picked is not good, how about mine?"

"Huh? What nickname?" Everyone looked at Xiao Yao and said.

"Just call you Sister Jing!" Xiao Yao laughed.

"What do you mean?" Everyone asked in confusion.

"Second in the last game," Xiao Yao stretched out two fingers of one hand horizontally, and then put the two fingers of the other hand vertically, "This game is also second, together, it is A tic-tac-toe!"

"Oh, I'm going! I'm a dick anyway! Are you saying that I'm a dick?" Hong Wei understood immediately, stood up excitedly and said.

"Calm down! Calm down!" Xiao Siqi and Qin Xiaodong beside Hong Wei pulled Hong Wei, and Qin Xiaodong comforted him, "Sister Jing, don't be like a child!" Han Yu's most cat demon

"I'll go! Are you really screaming?!" Hong Wei stared at Qin Xiaodong and said.

"Ah? I'm sorry," Qin Xiaodong said with a smile, "It's just that this description of two is too vivid, and I accidentally said what I was thinking."

"Who made you want to trick him just now," Xiao Siqi also said with a smile, "Guy Bayi never takes revenge overnight."

"I'll go, I asked for the co-authorship!" Hong Wei said.

"Okay, let's announce the third place!" Tao Ran said again.

"It's obviously an important moment to announce the results of the knockout round. Why are these singers so noisy all the time and can't get nervous at all?" Tao Ran thought helplessly in his heart, and the rhythm of announcing the results was obviously much faster. . Starting from the third place, every time the singer's name was announced, the singers were only given time to applaud and stand up to bow, and then began to announce the next one.

After the rankings of the seven singers were announced, there were finally two singers whose rankings were not ideal. Some nervous expressions appeared on the faces of the singers. The singer was eliminated after the field's votes score.

In the end, Cai Ruoqi, who ranked sixth in the previous stage and fourth in this field, had the lowest comprehensive score and became the third singer to be eliminated.

Hearing this result, Xiao Yao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and thought very unkindly: "Since Cai Ruoqi has been eliminated, she shouldn't come to me to help her design the stage for the performance, right?" Waiting for the breakout game. Now there are still four programs before the breakout competition, and Cai Ruoqi has more than a month to prepare the breakout repertoire, and it is unlikely to waste a lot of time ahead just waiting for Xiao Yao.

Of course, Xiao Yao definitely wouldn't show it on his expression, he gave Cai Ruoqi a parting hug with regret like other singers.

After Cai Ruoqi gave an emotional farewell speech, the recording of this episode of the show ended, and everyone began to walk outside the recording studio one after another.

The singer's follow-up production team cannot enter the studio to listen to the results, and can only wait outside the gate of the studio with the singer's real manager in reality. Seeing the singers pushing open the door and coming out, the film crew also went up to meet them, filming the discussion between the singers in charge of their team and their manager about the result of the match when they went out.

"Director Mei," Xiao Yao didn't discuss Cai Ruoqi's elimination with Shen Man after he left the house, but went straight to himself and said to Mei Fang, the director of the filming crew, "I got seventh in this one! In preparation for the competition, I plan to go to the United States to find someone to help me."

"Just now it was said that you are very good in the United States, so you immediately went to the United States to find someone to help?" Shen Man said excitedly, "You were stimulated by today's seventh place, and you are going to make a big move. !"

"That's right," Xiao Yao nodded, and said to Fang Yiran, "You and Min Yi will go together this time."

"Okay!" Fang still nodded immediately.

"How long are you going? When will you leave and when will you come back? Should we shoot our daily highlights before you go or wait until you come back?" Mei Fang asked concerned about her mission.

"It takes more than ten hours to fly to the United States one way, but there is only one week before the next competition recording, so I am going to leave for the United States tomorrow, and I estimate that I will not come back until the night before the competition. All the preparations, I plan to finish all in the United States." Xiao Yao said, "The daily sideshow recording of this issue will either be filmed on the day of the competition recording, or you will go to the United States with me. I just don't know if everyone in your film crew has passports , Does the program team have the funds to let you go to the United States with me?"

"Well, I'll go and ask Director Tao for instructions right away." Mei Fang said immediately, "By the way, where are you going in America? Los Angeles?"

"No, New York!" Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "Today's recording is over, let's go back to the hotel first. After we go back, we have to book tickets quickly, so no matter whether your film crew can go together, please give us a message as soon as possible !"

Go find Dao Dao now! "Mei Fang nodded and Xiao Yao signaled, and immediately pushed open the door of the recording studio, went in and found Tao Ran who hadn't left yet, and said, "Director Tao, Xiao Yao said that he is going to the United States tomorrow, and he is looking for someone to help prepare for the next scene." Prepared for the competition, and did not come back until the night before the recording of the next competition. We want to shoot daily highlights, so we can only go to the United States with him! Do we have the funding? "
