Entertaining Children

Amid the applause of the audience, Xiao Yao took off the harmonica stand around his neck and handed it along with the guitar to the staff who came to the stage. Then he took off the microphone on the microphone stand and walked to the front of the stage to show They bowed and said: "Thank you!"

Until this moment, the cheers and screams of the audience couldn't help but rang out.

"Next, I'll introduce you to the next competition song..." Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hands, and continued to introduce the next singer's competition song.

"I'm back!" After all the competitions were over, Xiao Yao, who returned to the rest hall, opened the door and shouted again with a signature.

"Thank you!" Everyone still stood up from the sofa and applauded Xiao Yao's return.

"Xiao Yao, your performance just now was great. It's the first time I've seen two musical instruments playing at the same time." Wei Shile gave two thumbs up as soon as Xiao Yao sat down on the sofa.

"It's just a small skill," Xiao Yao waved his hands modestly, "I'm not the only one who knows it." In this world, Xiao Yao has never seen anyone who can play three instruments at the same time, but who can play two instruments at the same time, Xiao Yao knew that there were still some, so he didn't think it was so great to play the two instruments at the same time today.

"I know you once played three instruments together. It seems that few people in the world can do it," Wei Shile continued, "It's a pity that I didn't see it live." During the interval, both she and Liu Youyuan had already watched the video of Xiao Yao playing the three musical instruments blindly selected in "The Voice" on the mobile phone the year before last.

"By the way," Zhang Qiao, Liu Youyuan's manager, asked, "Xiao Yao, why don't you play three instruments at the same time like in that chair-turning show? Isn't that more shocking?" Liu Youyuan said to Xiao Yao The skill of playing three instruments at the same time is also very shocking, and it is also a pity that I did not see it live.

As Liu Youyuan's manager, on the one hand, Zhang Qiao spared no effort to help Liu Youyuan fight for his interests, hoping that he can achieve good results in the show and go further. On the other hand, as a Chinese, she also hopes to make Liu Youyuan Korean singers can see the excellence of Huaxia's singers, and there are also things that he, a Korean musician, can't match.

"The main reason is that this song is different from that song "Those Flowers". It is not suitable to use tambourine in the soundtrack. I can only beat one drum with my feet at most, but I can't use my feet to operate a whole set of drums." Xiao Yao smiled. Dao, "The soundtrack is still for the song. I don't want to change the drum set into an inappropriate tambourine just to show off my skills. After all, I am a singer, not a musician."

"Well said!" Hong Wei took the lead in applauding.

The other singers also nodded their heads,

Xiao Yao was given a burst of applause to show his approval.

"Everyone don't want Jiang Zi, people will be embarrassed." Xiao Yao pretended to be shy.

"Oh, I'm going, it's disgusting!" Hong Wei shook the goosebumps on his body, "This means that Cai Ruoqi is not here, otherwise you have to say that you followed her."

"Speaking of your song today," Qin Xiaodong said, "Xiao Yao, are you dissatisfied with the results of the last knockout round, and that's why you wrote this song on purpose?"

"How to say?" Other singers looked at Qin Xiaodong one after another.

"Xiao Yao sang an English folk song last time in the knockout round, and this time it is a Chinese folk song. The soundtrack is relatively simple, as if to justify his name." Qin Xiaodong said, "And the two songs are both It was sung to lovers. The first sentence of the song last time was "When Your Legs Don't Work Like They Used To Before, And I Can't Sweep You Off of Your Feet. "It means that when your legs and feet are not as flexible as before, I can't pick you up and circle around. This is when people are old. Isn't it similar to the meaning of "when you are old" today?"

"Really!" The others nodded after hearing Qin Xiaodong's explanation.

"Xiao Yao, are you using this method to publicly express dissatisfaction with the audience who voted?" Hong Wei's manager Wu You said to Xiao Yao with a smile, "You even hate the audience who voted, you are really amazing!"

"You don't want to interpret it like this, okay?" Xiao Yao said with a wry smile, "Aren't you trying to make me offend the audience who voted at the scene and be eliminated by them?"

"It doesn't matter," Shen Man comforted Xiao Yao, "This program will not be broadcast until the fourth round of qualifying next time. The fourth round only has two rounds of qualifying and knockout, followed by a breakout match. Anyway, you came in as a kick-off singer, you always have to participate in the breakout round, as long as you don't get eliminated in the next kick-off round, you will be able to participate in the next few games."

"What doesn't matter?" Xiao Yao looked back at Shen Man in surprise and said, "I don't want to score in the breakout competition? I don't want to participate in the finals? Where are you from?"

"Director, I want to change the host again!" Xiao Yao raised his hand and looked at the director on the scene.

"I'm sorry I was wrong!" Shen Man hurriedly lowered his head to admit his mistake, then looked at the director at the scene and said, "Director, cut off the part just now, don't broadcast it. They are blackmailing our singer, it's not fair to broadcast it! "

The performance of Xiao Yao and Shen Man naturally caused another burst of laughter in the hall.

"Okay, I'm not kidding anymore." Qin Xiaodong straightened his face and said, "Not to mention the technique of playing the two instruments at the same time, but just this song adapted from Yeats's poem is also very good."

Qin Xiaodong looked at Xiao Yao and said, "I like this song very much, and this song fits my style very well. Xiao Yao, I formally request you to purchase the copyright of this song. I want to do a cover of this song!"

After the last round of knockout rounds, Hong Wei, Liang Xueying and Cai Ruoqi all expressed their intention to invite Xiao Yao to sing. Xiao Yao declined because he didn't have time to write and perform songs every week. Qin Xiaodong was also present at the time, and he didn't say that he wanted to invite Xiao Yao to sing. Unexpectedly, Qin Xiaodong directly proposed the right to cover singing this time.

Facing Qin Xiaodong's request, Xiao Yao's reaction was of course...I agreed to him!

"No problem!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, "I'll ask my agent later, oh, I'm not talking about Shen Man, it's my real agent Fang Yiran, I'll ask her to leave the contact information to your team , The specific contract operation is up to her, so there is no need to talk about the fee, the copyright fee for the cover song is one yuan." As he said, Xiao Yao raised a finger.

"One dollar? What's the difference between that and free gift?" Qin Xiaodong immediately shook his head and said, "How can I do that?"

"A dollar is money, and collecting money is not giving it away for free." Xiao Yao said, "There is nothing wrong with it! I really like listening to your songs, and this song is indeed very suitable for you to sing. Let me express my love to my idol. A little kindness, I will charge you a dollar as a token." Xiao Yao really likes Qin Xiaodong, a singer who makes Xiao Yao feel like the male god in long johns in his previous life, from the bottom of his heart.

"Old Xiao, if you act like your son, your studio won't be bankrupted by him in the future, right?" Hong Wei smiled and looked at Xiao Siqi and said, "But I really like his character."

"In the future, it's not certain whether he will like Jiaying and me's studio." Xiao Siqi smiled nonchalantly, "Didn't you say he was a profiteer before? He didn't treat everyone like that. Yes, anyway, I won't worry about his future money."

"Director, cut this part!" Xiao Yao pointed to the cameras at the scene and said, "If this is broadcast on TV, the songs I write in the future will not be able to sell for a price!"

"Look, what did I say?" Xiao Siqi spread his hands and said.

"TV viewers can't see it, but we can." Hong Wei immediately said, "Xiao Yao, I want to buy the right to cover your song "Descendants of the Dragon"."

"I want to buy the right to cover the song "Red Rose"!" Liang Xueying continued.

Liu Youyuan also raised his hand: "@#%..."

Zhang Qiao helped translate and said: "Our brother Youyuan said that he has no problem with English, and he wants the right to cover the English song "Thinking Out Loud"!"

"Should I also join in the fun?" Wei Shile asked, looking at the manager beside him.

"Hmm~" the manager nodded repeatedly, then frowned and said, "However, Xiao Yao's remaining two songs, "Just Now" are not suitable for your style, and the last song "Chasing Dreams" has Jing Yun's singing, except for himself, probably few people can sing it."

"Then I also want the right to cover the song "Red Rose." Wei Shile said, "That song is my favorite."

"Sami, I want the right to cover "Red Rose"." Liang Xueying called out to Wei Shile.

"I didn't say no," Wei Shile said with a smile, "but no one stipulates that only one singer other than the original singer can cover a song."

"But our styles are not much different. It's not good to release a cover version at the same time." Liang Xueying said.

"Then how about I translate the lyrics into English and make an English cover version, okay?" Wei Shile suggested.

"Well, that's a good proposal, I agree." Liang Xueying nodded.

"Hey, are you serious?" Xiao Yao said dissatisfied, "I'm still standing here! Do I agree? You guys negotiated so seriously."

"Of course it's true!" Hong Wei glared at Xiao Yao fiercely and said, "Why, don't you agree?"

"Can't I say I disagree?" Xiao Yao smiled unmoved.

"What you can't get is always in turmoil, and the one who is favored is confident." Xiao Siqi read two lines of lyrics from "Red Rose", shook his head and smiled, and patted Qin Xiaodong on the shoulder, "Xiaodong, the one who is favored this time is You, Xueying should no longer be the only object of envy."

"I know Xiaodong is your idol, as long as one dollar is what you want." Hong Wei approached Xiao Yao, but suddenly put on a smiling face, stretched out his hand to hold Xiao Yao's arm and shook it, with a She said in a coquettish tone, "It's not like I only paid one yuan to buy your cover song, can't I buy it at the market price? You can't treat one more favorably than another!"

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you!" Xiao Yao shook off the goose bumps all over his body, pulled his arm out of Hong Wei's hand and said, "Sell it! Can't I sell it? It's all one dollar, you guys If you want to cover it, you can sing it casually."

"Xiao Yao, then you can help translate the lyrics of "Red Rose" into English. Xueying and I will sing the Chinese version and the English version." Wei Shile took the opportunity to say. She knew that Xiao Yao had written English songs. In terms of English level, whether it is listening, speaking, reading or writing, she thinks she should not lose to Xiao Yao, but when it comes to the level of song writing, she is ashamed of herself.

"Don't be so troublesome." Xiao Yao smiled, "Actually, this song "Red Rose" has a sister song called "White Rose". The tunes of these two songs are exactly the same, and the lyrics are different, but there are similarities. So it's a sister article. The point is, "White Rose" is a Cantonese song! You were born on Hong Kong Island, and today you are singing a Cantonese song, so your Cantonese should be fine. If you are interested, just Let's cover the Cantonese song "White Rose"."

"Have you ever written Cantonese songs?" Wei Shile asked in surprise, "Have you lived in Hong Kong Island or the Cantonese-speaking area for a long time? No wonder you can speak Cantonese."

"No," Xiao Yao smiled and shook his head.

"Then how can you write Cantonese songs?" Wei Shile asked strangely.

"I just know it." Xiao Yao spread his hands, "I haven't lived in Korea for a long time, and I have also written Korean songs."

"Oh!" Wei Shile nodded, "Okay, my fault!"

"However, I haven't sung the song "White Rose" in any public place, and it's not well-known yet." Xiao Yao frowned, turned to his father Xiao Siqi and said, "Why not! Dad, I want to The Cantonese song "White Rose" will be released first as a single. Anyway, the second round of my singing "Red Rose" has already been broadcast on TV. The release of "White Rose" at this time is quite timing. Not bad. Just take advantage of the popularity of "Red Rose" to stimulate the sales of "White Rose."

"Aren't you going to release the song "Thinking Out Loud" next week?" Xiao Siqi asked, "You want to put the two songs together and make a single?"

"No, separate the two songs." Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "These two songs have different styles and languages, so they are not suitable to be put together. And the song "Thinking Out Loud" has already been contacted for overseas simultaneous release, "White "Rose" has no market in Europe and America, so we have to make two singles and develop them separately."

"Okay." Xiao Siqi nodded, and then he laughed and said to himself, "Two singles and one album all at once, now the publicity department of the studio will be very busy."

"What? Xiao Yao, are you going to release an album again?" Hong Wei said, "You only sang a total of six songs on this show, and you can release an album with six songs?"

"It's not six," Qin Xiaodong reminded, "There are two episodes of the show that haven't been broadcast yet. If it's released next week, the audience will only have heard four, at most five!"

"From the time he released his album last year to the time he joined this show, he has already had seven or eight songs. Counting the four or five songs on this show, the total is enough for an album." Xiao Siqi said, "But He didn't plan to release it before the end of this program, and next week he will release a pure music album with a total of 13 piano pieces."

"Thirteen piano pieces?" Hong Wei asked Xiao Yao, "Are all of them your own original pieces?"

"Yes." Xiao Yao nodded.

"Oh, let me go," Hong Wei shouted, "How long has it been since you released your original guitar music album? Half a month? This is another original piano music album? How do you feel that you are going to Are you going on the path of a pure music composer?"

"No wonder you gave us a piano recital during the tournament last week. It turned out that you were going to release a pure music album of piano music." Zhang Qiao also said to Xiao Yao, "You are using our program to give you the piano Let's do a promotional warm-up for the release of the song album!"

"Yes! Donghai Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party and Kuaiben of your station have actually used his advertising platform. His advertisements are very ingenious, and they are combined with the content of the program. It seems casual, but in fact it is unconscious Even if you know that he is advertising, you still cannot refuse." Xiao Siqi nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Hong Wei and said, "Sister Hong, do you still think Will my studio go bankrupt in the future?"

"This is a monster!" Hong Wei pointed at Xiao Yao and stamped his feet in a weeping gesture, "I won't play with this monster anymore, I want to go home!"
