Entertaining Children

"Next, I will introduce to you the repertoire of the next singer." Xiao Yao took two steps forward, leaving room for the staff to clean up the stage and prepare for the next singer, Liang Xueying, and began the next process.

After the fifth and sixth performances of Liang Xueying and Xiao Siqi, the seventh singer finally made his debut. Unlike most other singers, today's singer did not sing her own original song when she made her debut, but chose a representative work of a senior female singer who participated in the show last year Come do your own repertoire.

When Xiao Yao was in the rest hall just now, he had already judged from the body shape and hair that today’s kicking singer is a young female singer. When he got the script, he immediately judged that today’s kicking singer is not singing the original song Yes, so Xiao Yao didn't know who the kicking singer is until now when the kicking singer appeared on the stage.

Today's kick-off singer is named Lan Ruixi, who is the champion of the first season of "The Voice". Speaking of which, she can also have something to do with Xiao Yao. As the champion of the first season of "The Voice", her momentum was very strong when she debuted. After participating in the show, she released two original singles, and she released one original song in less than half a year It was a mixed album with cover songs, and the champion of the second and third seasons after being popular in the music scene that year was about the same as Fan Linxuan who won the championship of the fourth season of "The Voice" the year before last, and it was only slightly worse than Xiao Yao, the enchanting runner-up. .

Now that five years have passed, although Lan Ruixi is not as popular as five years ago, her development is relatively smooth. She has released three albums in five years, and the results are not bad. It can be regarded as a firm foothold in the music scene. fan base and a group of die-hard fans. At the age of 27, she is among the top female singers in her age group, both in terms of singing skills and fame. It should be a very good choice for the program team to choose her as the second singer to kick the hall.

Judging from the reaction of the audience, Lan Ruixi's performance seems to be very good, but from the perspective of Xiao Yao, who watched all the singers' performances as the host, Lan Ruixi wants to squeeze into the top four today. , it seems that it is not so stable.

"Thank you Lan Ruixi for the wonderful performance! This is the end of today's competition! Next, please vote for the performance that touched you the most tonight, thank you everyone!" Lan Ruixi left the stage Afterwards, Xiao Yao stepped onto the stage and said the closing remarks. After bowing for the last time, Xiao Yao walked off the stage and left the studio through the passage in front.

"I'm back!" After pushing open the door of the rest hall, Xiao Yao still shouted with a signature.

"Thanks for your hard work!" The singers who had finished the competition also stood up and applauded as usual.

"Sister Ruixi, hello!" Xiao Yao stepped forward to greet Lan Ruixi. This hall is full of acquaintances, only Lan Ruixi is here for the first time, the other singers must have greeted her when she came in, and now only Xiao Yao is left.

"I'm not good!" Lan Ruixi deliberately put her hands on her chest and said,

"After listening to the two piano pieces you gave me, I pretended to be a staff member and was dismantled on the spot, which made me cry for a long time in the temporary lounge. How can I get better?"

"Ah? You really heard it all!" Xiao Yao was dumbfounded.

"Okay, I'm just kidding you!" Lan Ruixi smiled, stretched out her arms and walked forward to hug Xiao Yao, saying, "Your piano music is very nice, and your performance on the stage just now is also very good. Great! I really cried, and that’s when I heard your song "Red Rose"."

"Thank you for the compliment!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

Lan Ruixi's program manager interjected: "Ruixi and Xiao Yao are both singers from "The Voice". They have the same experience, and they should get closer."

"Don't say that!" Lan Ruixi waved her hand immediately, "It's true that I came out of "The Voice", Xiao Yao doesn't count! Xiao Yao was already very famous before participating in "The Voice", and just With his original songs on "The Voice", even if he doesn't participate in "The Voice" and releases an album directly, the results will not be bad!"

Xiao Yao smiled and touched his nose, but declined to comment.

"Xiao Yao, come here!" Hong Wei waved to Xiao Yao, "May I ask you, the 3D projection on the stage just now is your girlfriend?"

"Yeah, my girlfriend Sun Tingting. Even if you don't know each other, my dad definitely does." Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Siqi, and said strangely, "Didn't my dad tell you?"

"Your dad was the last one to sing. When he came back, Ruixi's performance started. We were watching Ruixi's performance. Then Ruixi came back. We were busy welcoming Ruixi, and I didn't have time to ask What about your dad, you came back, of course I will ask you directly." Hong Wei explained, "Actually, what I want to ask most is, what happened to the rose you handed to your girlfriend at the end? It's a 3D projection, how come the rose really ran from your hands to hers."

"Magic!" Xiao Yao said succinctly, "You must have seen similar magic on TV, right? I specially asked someone to learn it, and it is similar to the one on TV."

"Can you still do magic tricks?" Hong Wei asked with great interest, "How did you do it?"

The other singers also looked at Xiao Yao curiously.

"Well, the rules of a magician's job are not to reveal the secrets of magic casually, otherwise I won't be able to find a magic teacher to learn other magic tricks in the future." Xiao Yao said awkwardly.

"Cut~" Hong Wei rolled his eyes, and the other singers also looked disappointed, but everyone has heard of this rule, and no one will continue to embarrass Xiao Yao.

"However," Xiao Yao said, "Although I can't say it, I can do another magic trick for you."

"Really? Come on!" Everyone said happily.

"Sister Ruixi, please cooperate." Xiao Yao bent over, with one hand behind his back and the other hand forward, making a very gentlemanly gesture of invitation. It's just that the left hand is stretched forward and the right hand is behind. This action seems to be done in reverse.

"Me? Alright!" Lan Ruixi pointed at herself in surprise, then put her hand on Xiao Yao's outstretched palm and stood up.

When Lan Ruixi stood up, Xiao Yao's right hand, which was originally carried behind his back, quickly extended to the back of Lan Ruixi's left head. Just when Lan Ruixi thought that Xiao Yao wanted to touch her hair and subconsciously shrunk her head back, Xiao Yao's right hand had already been retracted between the two of them. On the original vacant right hand, she was holding a red roses.

"For you!" Xiao Yao smiled and handed the rose to Lan Ruixi.

"Thank you!" After a moment of astonishment, Lan Ruixi smiled and reached out to take it.

"Is this the flower you used when you performed on stage? Have you always hidden it on your body?" Qin Xiaodong asked curiously.

"En!" Xiao Yao nodded.

"Give roses to girls casually, be careful that your girlfriend will get angry if she finds out." Liang Xueying joked with a smile.

Xiao Yao pointed to a group of videographers opposite the singers and said, "Sister Rui Xi sits at the very end. This position is the only one that won't be seen through by you or captured by the cameras. I can only give it to her!"

Besides Xiao Yao, Lan Ruixi, who was the last to enter the singer's lounge, sat at the farthest side of the sofa. In the hall, there was only a row of cameras in front of the singers, and there were no cameras on the sides of the singers. Xiao Yao turned his back to the camera, and the camera in front of Lan Ruixi was blocked by Xiao Yao's own body, and the camera on the other side could only see the left side of Xiao Yao's body like other singers, so they could only see Xiao Yao showed them the appearance of magic, but they couldn't see the tricks Xiao Yao played when his right hand was stretched on the left side of Lan Ruixi's head.

"To explain in such a hurry, it seems that you care about your girlfriend's opinion." Liang Xueying smiled, "No wonder your girlfriend dares to let you go to the United States by herself in China. As expected, the one who is favored has nothing to fear."

"No," Xiao Yao said, "Actually, she hesitated for a long time before going to the United States, but Chambers' opportunity is so rare, I told her that the distance is not a problem, and I promise to go to the United States as soon as I have the time and opportunity." Look at her, she made up her mind to go."

"I just heard from Shen Man that in order to prepare for today's competition, you specially went to the United States last week to shoot the 3D projection just now?" Liang Xueying said, "So you went to the United States this time to take advantage of the opportunity. Will you drop by to see your girlfriend?"

"That's right," Xiao Yao nodded and spread his hands, "I need a violin accompaniment for this song, and my girlfriend happens to be the best violinist I know. So, why don't you go to her? It’s only an hour’s flight, but it’s not impossible to go.”

"A flight of more than ten hours is nothing more than that?" Hong Wei shook his head, "Young people are fierce."

"Don't keep talking about me, isn't our protagonist today supposed to be the new singer, Sister Ruixi?" Xiao Yao pointed at Lan Ruixi, signaling for everyone to change the subject.

It's just that before everyone started talking about Lan Ruixi, the staff came in and told everyone to go to the recording studio to listen to the voting results.

In the recording studio, chief director Tao Ran is already in place. After the singers and managers took their seats, Tao Ran still led everyone to welcome the new singer Lan Ruixi. Then, Tao Ran routinely asked about Lan Ruixi's feelings about participating in the show.

"I'm very happy to have the opportunity to compete with these very powerful singers. I feel very honored and very excited." Lan Ruixi said with a smile.

"I didn't expect to be able to listen to a piano solo concert in this program, which is also a surprise." Lan Ruixi looked at Xiao Yao and said, "It's just that the pretending staff were dismantled on the spot, which scared me and ran away. I'm so frustrated."

"It's Sister Hong who exposed you, what do you think I'm doing?" Xiao Yao pretended to be innocent.

"Huh?" All the singers looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.

"Isn't it?" Xiao Yao said deliberately.

"I saw you whispered to Sister Hong first, and Sister Hong came to me." Lan Ruixi said, "And when I went back to the hall after singing and greeted Sister Hong, Sister Hong also told me that you actually recognized me." Let me come and let her come forward to expose me!"

"From the time you went back to the time I went back, it took only a few words. Sister Hong, you sold me so soon?" Xiao Yao turned to look at Hong Wei and said.

"A good man is a good man when he does things!" Hong Wei said with a smile.

"Okay, now it's time for us to announce the audience voting results for this competition." Tao Ran waved his hand.

Hearing what Tao Ran said, everyone stopped, sat upright, and looked at Tao Ran.

Soon, five of the seven singers announced their results. One of the remaining singers whose results have not been announced is Lan Ruixi, the kick-off singer, and Xiao Yao. The rankings that have not yet been announced are the third and sixth.

"Why do you have to announce the ranking of me and Miss Ruixi at the end?" After the fifth singer's ranking was announced, Xiao Yao pretended to be dissatisfied and shouted, "If Miss Ruixi fails to kick the club, it will look like me She looks like she was kicked away! If sister Ruixi succeeds in kicking the gym, it seems that brother Youyuan, who is ranked seventh, was eliminated because I didn’t hold the top four position. It looks like it’s all my fault, I don’t want to bear it !"

"That makes sense!" Qin Xiaodong nodded.

"I was thinking that both of you are kick-off singers, and you happen to be in the top four and the bottom three, so I decided to announce the two of you at the end." Tao Ran said with a smile.

"Director Tao is right, and you and Lan Ruixi have the most stories in this episode, I think it's most appropriate to announce the ranking of the two of you at the end." Hong Wei also laughed.

"That... okay!" Xiao Yao retorted powerlessly.

"Xiao Yao, come on!" Liu Youyuan raised his fist and said to Xiao Yao.

"The voting is over, now it's resignation!" Xiao Yao looked at Liu Youyuan and said.

"Okay, the third place in this field is~Xiao Yao!" Tao Ran deliberately prolonged his voice, and finally said, "That is to say, Lan Ruixi's score in this field is sixth. It's a pity that Lan Ruixi kicked the team Failed, we will bid farewell to our stage for the time being, and we will meet you again at the breakout match."

"Huh~"

"Wow~"

Liu Youyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhang Qiao couldn't help raising his arms and cheering, but immediately put down his raised arms with restraint.

Then came the moment of farewell. Lan Ruixi gave a parting speech to the applause of several singers and managers. After hugging and saying goodbye to all the singers one by one, she took the lead to leave the recording studio with her manager.

"Remind everyone, the next round is the third round of qualifying. At the same time, we will also have a new replacement singer joining in. I hope everyone will prepare well." After bidding farewell to Lan Ruixi, Tao Ran is also ready to announce the end of this issue The recording is finished, "The recording of this session is all over here, thank you everyone, everyone has worked hard. See you next time!"

"Wait a minute!" Xiao Yao suddenly raised his hand and shouted.

Everyone looked at Xiao Yao strangely, and Tao Ran asked suspiciously, "What's the matter?"

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, stood up and said, "My next performance is rather special, and I'm not suitable to be a host. I want to find a substitute host to host the next competition temporarily instead of me."
