Entertaining Children

"You mean, Xiao Yao wants to bring Sun Tingting back to Huaxia to help him compete?" Mei Fang looked at Fang Yiran and said.

"It should be." Fang Yiran said, "I told you before what I found strange. If you are looking for teammates from the dance team, Xiao Yao can just call and invite them to Huaxia. He ran to the United States. His girlfriend is a student of the Chambers Conservatory of Music. Xiao Yao came to the United States to rehearse, probably to save his girlfriend’s time, so that she would not have to take too long leave and try not to delay her studies."

"Sister Mei, I have an idea!" Wang Dachuan interrupted on the side, "Do you think Xiao Yao helped Liang Xueying so much in the last issue, and he was afraid that others would say that he had a special relationship with Liang Xueying, so he will be interviewing immediately." In the next episode, I brought my girlfriend to perform on the show together, deliberately showing a sense of presence? Tell everyone that they are a couple. The last time Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting performed "Courage" on "The Voice" together, it seems It is because some people on the Internet matched him and Zhu Zitong together!"

"With Xiao Yao's character, it's not impossible!" Fang still nodded, "It's not that Xiao Yao is afraid of his girlfriend misunderstanding, even though his girlfriend has been in the United States for more than a year, but their relationship has always been very stable. Xiao Yao took the time to visit her in the United States last summer. It’s just Xiao Yao’s character, and he likes to do things that are beyond everyone’s expectations.”

"Does that mean that he may perform another sweet love song like "Courage" and "How Lucky" this time?" Wang Dachuan asked speculatively.

"Maybe." Fang still said.

"As his manager, you are guessing here with us two outsiders." Mei Fang laughed, "Your manager is really good enough."

"What can I do?" Fang still spread his hands, "My manager is not his boss, but he has always been my boss. Even business matters are up to him. What's more, this kind of music matters. He will discuss business matters with me, and he won't even talk to me about this kind of music professional matters. To be honest, from participating in the program to now, I don't know When were those songs he put out in each issue written?"

"Hey, you guys! What are you talking about?" Xiao Yao turned around and shouted, "Hurry up and get in the car!" It turned out that the three of them were walking and chatting, and they had already distanced themselves from Xiao Yao and others before they knew it. Yao and the others got to the side of the car and were about to get in the car, but the three of them were still far away.

"Here we come!" The three of them agreed and rushed a few steps.

TJ and Paul each drove over in a car. The three people who picked up the plane plus Xiao Yao and his party of five, the eight people happened to be divided into two cars. After everyone got in the car, Paul and TJ drove them to the hotel where the room was booked in advance.

"Director Mei,

I'm going to the recording studio right now. If you want to follow the filming, please gather in the lobby in fifteen minutes. After completing the check-in procedures and getting the room card, Xiao Yao said to Mei Fang again.

"You just arrived in the United States. You put your luggage and went to the recording studio, didn't you even take a break?" Mei Fang was a little surprised, "Also, you don't have a recording studio in New York, do you?"

"The recording studio is rented." Xiao Yao said, "I have already contacted my friends before leaving, and they have already rented the recording studio for me."

"I have a lot of things to do this time, so the schedule is tight." Xiao Yao continued, "I will use the recording studio from afternoon to night. If you are tired from flying, take a rest first. It doesn’t matter if you come here later by yourself, I’ll send you the address of the recording studio later.”

"No, no, no, our task is to follow up and shoot your activities. If you don't rest, why should we rest?" Mei Fang waved her hands and said, "I see you rushing so fast, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it, in case you get tired and sick , appearing sick in the next competition will affect performance. Even if the singer is sick, our program will not tell the audience and judges the news of the singer's illness in advance, and there will be no sympathy votes."

"It's okay, I'm in good health." Xiao Yao smiled, "It's not easy to come to the United States, I have to do what I have to do together."

"Okay, then we'll see you in the lobby in fifteen minutes!" Mei Fang nodded and said.

Half an hour later, the group of eight arrived outside a recording studio in New York. When getting out of the car, Sun Tingting opened the trunk of Paul's car, took out a violin case and held it in her hand. Nucleus Storm

This is a recording studio that provides rental services. The equipment inside is first-class and the instruments are well prepared. However, there is only one employee at the front desk and a technician for debugging and maintaining the equipment in the entire recording studio. There are no sound engineers, etc. Any professional, so Xiao Yao has to do it himself for recording.

After entering the recording studio they rented, Xiao Yao sat in front of the console in the control room by himself, while Sun Tingting directly opened the case of the violin and entered the recording room with her own violin.

Just like in the previous episodes of daily tidbits, Xiao Yao still refused to let cameraman Wang Dachuan enter the recording room to shoot, and could only shoot the shot of Sun Tingting playing the violin through the glass window in the control room.

Mei Fang and others could clearly see that Sun Tingting had received Xiao Yao's music in advance and had practiced it in advance, so the whole recording process went smoothly. When Sun Tingting was playing to the microphone in the recording room, Xiao Yao rarely interrupted. About half an hour later, Xiao Yao, wearing monitor headphones, gave Sun Tingting in the recording room a thumbs up through the glass window.

When Sun Tingting saw it, she happily left the recording room and returned to the control room.

"Great!" After Sun Tingting entered the control room, Xiao Yao pulled down the monitor earphones on his head and gave a thumbs up again, "As expected of a top student at Chambers, the score I sent you the night before yesterday was recorded today. It's done in an hour! Do you want to hear it now?"

"No need, I have confidence in myself." Sun Tingting wrinkled her nose and said, "Let's listen to it after you finish everything. I still have a class in the afternoon, and it's time to go back to school. I'll come to see you in the evening."

"Okay," Xiao Yao nodded, "I can't see you off now, so be careful on the road!"

"Let me take Tiana back to school." Paul stood up from the sofa in the control room and said, "Anyway, you're going to be here for a long time, and I'm fine sitting here."

"I'll go too." TJ also stood up and said, "Your assistant should be able to drive. I'll leave my car to you. If you need a car, you can drive my car. I'll go with Paul Go out and get some air." With that said, TJ took out his car keys and handed them to Xiao Yao. As dancers, they are actually very interested in music, but Xiao Yao is recording now. This console has no external speakers, and they can only hear the sound in the recording room through the monitoring headphones. They are not interested in listening to this music with headphones on. Planting half-finished music, sitting bored and wanting to get out of the way.

"Okay! I'll trouble you this time! When I'm done, I'll treat you to dinner!" Xiao Yao took TJ's key with a smile, and handed it to Fang Yiran.

"We're all brothers, so there's no need to say these things." TJ punched Xiao Yao in the chest.

"Compared to eating, I want you to help us choreograph another dance sometime." Paul said.

"Look, white people are more cunning than black people!" TJ rolled his eyes and said.

"No, I'm smart!" Paul laughed. "But when it comes to smartness, the Chinese are the smartest. Just look at Yang. The most frustrating thing is that he is not that kind of nerd! So his That's cunning!"

"Both of you! Get out!" Xiao Yao pointed at the two and cursed with a smile.

After Sun Tingting and the other three left, only Xiao Yao and his five people from China were left in the recording studio. If the location hadn’t been changed to New York, the United States, this scene seems to be not too different from the previous episodes of daily tidbits. .

However, unlike the previous episodes, when Mei Fang and the filming crew followed Xiao Yao to shoot the daily highlights of the previous episodes, every time they captured Xiao Yao playing the guitar in the recording room, this time, Xiao Yao entered In the recording room, instead of playing the guitar, the drums were played. Xiao Yao had never performed on stage before, and it was the first time Mei Fang and Wang Dachuan saw Xiao Yao playing drums.

In addition to the drum set and the violin played by Sun Tingting just now, Xiao Yao also went to the recording room to play and record the soundtrack of the electronic piano. Then, Mei Fang and the others discovered to their surprise that Xiao Yao started recording his singing voice into the microphone again. star equipment

What Mei Fang and the others didn't know was that when the previous competitions ended, the first thing Xiao Yao did when he returned to Shencheng was to record the official studio version of the song he was going to perform on stage in the next phase Yes, but I have been pinching it and not publishing it. This time, Xiao Yao came to the United States directly after the competition without returning to Shencheng. They also followed Xiao Yao all the way on the second day after the program was recorded, so they were also fortunate to see Xiao Yao singing in the recording room.

But seeing the appearance is obviously not enough. In the past few times when shooting daily highlights, Xiao Yao recorded guitar songs that had nothing to do with the competition repertoire, and his competition repertoires were all original new songs that had not yet been released. It was only during the rehearsal that day that I found out what Xiao Yao’s competition song looked like. Seeing Xiao Yao singing in the recording room this time was obviously related to the competition song, so Mei Fang couldn’t help but walked to the console and picked it up. The monitoring earphones listened to the content of the song sung by Xiao Yao. She knows Xiao Yao's rules, as long as you don't touch those buttons on the console, there is nothing wrong with listening to it with monitor headphones.

"What is this?!" Mei Fang was immediately dumbfounded when she heard Xiao Yao's singing in the monitor earphones.

Although she didn't understand what Xiao Yao sang, Mei Fang could tell that Xiao Yao sang in Cantonese! Moreover, Mei Fang also heard that this Cantonese song had never been heard before, and Xiao Yao once said that all the competing songs would be his new songs, so this song must also be a new song written by him. Just because of the language of the new song, he got the seventh place in the last round. Could it be that Xiao Yao will sing an original Cantonese new song in the next round? Not many of the 500 audience members had a high level of Chinese and English, but even fewer of them could understand his new Cantonese songs!

As far as Chinese people can write English songs, there are actually quite a few in the music scene, but a person who has never lived in a Cantonese-speaking area for a long time wrote a Cantonese song, which in itself is enough to make people feel shocked. But now Mei Fang is completely unaware of this, and just wonders in her heart whether Xiao Yao is going to play tricks to die. You must know that there is an elimination quota for the next round. If the kicking singer enters the top four, the seventh place will be eliminated. He seems to be taking it seriously these days, and hastily rushed to the United States, planning to use a new song in Cantonese that not many people at the scene can understand?

Therefore, when Xiao Yao came out of the recording room again and came to the console to process the audio tracks he had recorded, Mei Fang, who was full of worries, finally couldn't help pulling Xiao Yao and asking: "Xiao Yao, what's your next session?" Are you going to sing a Cantonese song?"

"No!" Xiao Yao looked at Mei Fang and shook his head.

"Then why did you sing in Cantonese just now?" Mei Fang said, "I listened to the soundtrack of the song, which is the drum set and piano you just recorded, and the violin sound that Sun Tingting just recorded. Don't tell me what you are recording now is not The song for the next competition?"

"Oh, the soundtrack is, but what I sang just now is not!" Xiao Yao said, "There are two versions of this song, Mandarin and Cantonese. The soundtrack is exactly the same, but the lyrics are different. I will sing the Mandarin version and the Cantonese version in the next performance. I saved it for future releases. Since the Cantonese version is more difficult, I recorded the Cantonese version first."

"One song has two versions in both Cantonese and Cantonese. This is generally something only singers from Hong Kong Island or Guangdong Province can do," Mei Fang said incredulously, "You, a Yanjing student who is studying in Shanghai, how can you play this?"

"Why can't you play?" Xiao Yao smiled, "It's just that only singers from Hong Kong Island and Guangdong Province have done this kind of thing, so I want to do it."

"My God! You are really a monster!" Mei Fang was speechless.

"Okay, Director Mei, the interview is over, I have to continue working." Xiao Yao sat back in front of the console, turned around and said to Pei Minyi, "It seems to be getting late, and I'm hungry too! Minyi went to buy some Come back after eating. The car keys are still there. Forget it, you and Minyi can go together. If you are away from home, the two of you can take care of each other. This place is no better than Huaxia. You two should pay attention to safety. Remember to be the first time if you have anything to do Call me."

"Okay!" Fang Yiran and Pei Minyi nodded together, Fang Yiran looked at Mei Fang again and said, "Sister Mei, what do you want to eat?"

“Takeaway arrived!”

Before Mei Fang could answer, the door of the control room was pushed open, and a person walked in with a few paper bags and a smile.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Yao looked up at the person who came, and stood up from the chair in surprise.
