Entertaining Children

"One more song!" After Xiao Yao smiled and bowed to several singers and managers, Hong Wei and Liang Xueying couldn't wait to say in unison.

"It's so lively, did I miss something?" Wei Shile said after pushing the door in, looking at the lively singer's lounge.

"Of course I missed it," Hong Wei said with a smile, "Xiao Yao is giving a concert again, this time playing the saxophone."

"Oh, what a pity!" Wei Shile clapped his hands regretfully, and then asked, "Is it over? Is there anyone else listening?"

Just as Hong Wei was about to answer that it had just started, another staff member opened the door and came in. It turned out that it was time for Xiao Yao's rehearsal, and this was to inform Xiao Yao to go to the studio for rehearsal.

"I'm going to the rehearsal first," Xiao Yao spread his hands with a smile, and handed the saxophone in his hand to Hong Wei, "Play slowly by yourself."

"One song is not enough, we will wait for your return." Hong Wei shouted. The rehearsal must not be delayed, but she didn't intend to just let Xiao Yao go.

"Let's talk when we come back." Xiao Yao waved his hand and walked towards the gate of the singer's lounge.

Xiao Yao's concert was suspended, and Tian Wei also walked towards the newcomer Wei Shile with a gift. Xiao Siqi was called to go to the rehearsal after she arrived. She had already seen her just now. Wei Shile who just came in was the last singer to arrive today. After Xiao Yao left, everyone's focus was on today's newcomer Tian Wei.

Xiao Yao's competition song this time is to be sung and danced at the same time, so naturally he also sang and danced during the rehearsal. When the rehearsal was over, Xiao Yao, who had danced continuously for more than half an hour, returned to the waiting room with an obviously soaked top and sweat all over his head. Seeing him like that, the other singers were embarrassed to pull him to play the saxophone immediately, but urged him to go back to the room to clean up and change clothes to avoid catching a cold.

After drying himself and changing his clothes, Xiao Yao came out and was called to film the pre-match interview. When he returned to the waiting room, Hong Wei, who was the most active, was called to the rehearsal. Tian, ​​who greeted everyone and gave gifts Wei bid farewell to everyone and went back to her room, and the other singers also went back to their rooms. As for Xiao Yao, everyone knew from the way he came back from the rehearsal that he was going to sing and dance today, which was hard work, so they didn't insist on letting him continue to play for everyone, so that he could recharge his batteries with peace of mind.

The rehearsals of several singers were all over, and the seven singers who reunited also left the room, and went to the hall on the first floor to start the fixed program of the show and decide the order of appearance.

This time the decision method was still drawing lots, and Xiao Yao still sent Shen Man to draw for him. This time, Shen Man helped Xiao Yao get a pick that he hadn't had before but looked very good, the fifth place.

The draw is over,

As usual, Xiao Yao went back to his room to meet with the screenwriter and get the script of the host. After making a few minor revisions, Xiao Yao quickly memorized the script.

The competition started, and after the five-second countdown sounded, Xiao Yao appeared on the stage in the studio again.

"Hey, why is this kid dressed coquettishly today? Is it because he wants to dance?" Hong Wei pointed at Xiao Yao on the TV and smiled.

Xiao Yao on the stage is wearing a fuchsia suit. This color is rarely seen in Xiao Yao's dressing style. What's more, the fabric of the clothes is also mixed with some thin gold and silver threads. The geometric pattern decorations made of crystal stones have slight reflections under the light, making him shine on the stage. This is the most attractive of the regular costumes that Xiao Yao wears, not counting the two special costumes that Xiao Yao wore when he sang "Descendants of the Dragon" and the Huadan costume when he performed "Dream Chasing Order". up.

Everyone knows that with Xiao Yao's character, he would definitely not choose this outfit specially for the host, and he also said last time that he would no longer go backstage to change clothes for the performance, so everyone guessed Xiao Yao's outfit must be his performance costume for today's competition. For Xiao Yao, who will bring them other extra surprises besides the song and singing itself in every performance, the audience is also looking forward to what kind of tricks he will play today.

The opening remark reminded the audience that today is the last kick-off match, and some singers will be eliminated today, and then it was time to read the commercials that made the audience scream excitedly. Xiao Yao presided over it according to the script and his previous habits, After completing several fixed procedures, Xiao Yao began to introduce today's first competition piece to everyone.

Four singers Xiao Siqi, Wei Shile, Qin Xiaodong, and Hong Wei presented wonderful performances in turn under the introduction of Xiao Yao. Next, it was Xiao Yao's turn to appear fifth. where heaven left

"Thank you very much for the wonderful performance brought by Sister Hong! Let us give the applause to Teacher Hong Wei again!" Xiao Yao, who re-entered the stage, guided the audience to the audience who had just left the stage and was still on the exit channel. Hong Wei sent applause.

"Okay, I'm going to introduce the next competition song to everyone." Xiao Yao waited for the applause of the audience to pause before continuing, "Everyone knows that in our show, every singer in each episode There is only one chance to go on stage and sing a song for everyone. We singers prepare carefully every week for the performance of that song on the stage. Here, what we have and what we need is just a Song time."

"The title of the next song happens to be "Give Me Time for a Song"." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Why would the next competing singer choose such a song? I guess, this It is exactly what he wants to say to everyone. I hope that after everyone listens to this song, he can still have a song time on this stage next week. Of course, except for the host time! Please applaud and please next time A competing singer!"

"Wow~"

"Woo~"

There was a burst of cheers mixed with boos from the audience. When everyone heard the title of the song they had never heard before, the audience's first reaction was that the next singer to appear was Xiao Yao, but the sentence "I guess" made the audience doubtful again. If it was really Xiao Yao, words like "I guess" would not have been used, but the last sentence "except for the time of the host" made everyone sure that the next singer to appear was Xiao Yao, so Xiao Yao's mysterious words before , some audience also laughed and booed.

"I'll go, this boy Bayi has started to use the title of the song directly to solicit votes!" In the lobby of the singer's lounge, Xiao Siqi smiled and looked at Xiao Yao in the live TV screen.

"Then he has to be able to write such a song." Qin Xiaodong said, "He doesn't necessarily have to put a song that doesn't match the content of the lyrics in order to say this sentence on stage. the title of the song?"

On the stage in the studio, when Xiao Yao was introducing the next competition song, several figures appeared behind the stage one after another. When Xiao Yao finished his introduction, the audience realized that he did not exit from the front of the stage, but turned around and walked towards the middle and back of the dimly lit stage.

Although the light is not good, the audience can't see Xiao Yao's appearance clearly for the time being, but judging from the movements of Xiao Yao's figure, it seems that Xiao Yao took a hat from a figure that appeared on the stage and put it on Then he took a pair of gloves from the man and put them on his hands.

Xiao Yao's figure put on his hat and gloves. After turning to face the audience, he didn't look sideways at the band conductor Liu Tong, signaling to him that it was time to start. The scene above the stage was still dark. Turn on the lights when you're ready.

Just when the audience was a little confused, a bell sounded like a countdown to the opening, but this time, the bell didn't ring five times, but after the third bell fell, the lights on the stage suddenly turned on, and the band The other side also moved at the same time. Accompanied by the sound of music, the scenes on the entire stage were clearly displayed in front of the audience.

There are no musicians on the stage, but four men, four women and eight people standing. Xiao Yao is holding the microphone and standing in the center of the front. There are three boys on the left, three girls on the right, and a girl behind him standing directly behind Xiao Yao. The front is blocked by Xiao Yao, and his face cannot be seen clearly for the time being. . The whole team stood in a diamond shape, and following the prelude of the song, the eight people moved forward slowly on the stage while doing dance moves in unison.

"Is this going to be singing and dancing?!" Looking at the eight people on the stage, the audience immediately understood and burst into applause and cheers.

Now Xiao Yao's "Thinking Out Loud" MV is very popular, and many people have watched it. Everyone's evaluation of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting's very professional-looking modern dance in the MV is very high. When I was interested in Xiao Yao's dance skills, I didn't expect Xiao Yao to give you a dance today.

Among the eight people, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly Xiao Yao standing in the middle of the front. Everyone's guess just now is correct, Xiao Yao now has a black top hat with purple sequins on his head, and a pair of black fingerless gloves embellished with small crystal particles on his hands, coupled with handsome dance moves, The whole person seems to be shining.

"So handsome~" After the cheers, many viewers commented in their hearts. Among them, several singers in the lounge hall who had finished singing and Liang Xueying and Tian Wei who were still waiting in the room were also included.

"The rain wets the sky, and it's very ruined~" After the prelude part of the music ended, Xiao Yao raised the microphone to his mouth and began to sing. At the same time, his dancing movements did not stop. Except for the left hand holding the microphone, all his dancing movements were still very neat and consistent with the other seven dancers on the stage. Destroyer Supreme

This is a song by Jay Chou in his previous life. Xiao Yao's competition was also inspired by Jay Chou's performance of this song with Jolin Tsai at a certain concert. It's just that in Jay Chou's concert and Jolin Tsai's performance, the dance part probably only accounted for half of the whole song, so most of the dances that Xiao Yao performed this time were designed by Xiao Yao separately.

Looking at the difficulty and technical content of the movements alone, the dance movements designed by Xiao Yao for this performance can't be compared with the very professional modern dance in the "Thinking Out Loud" MV, even compared to the ones he collaborated with Chen Chen before. The dance in "The Great Wall" is also far inferior.

The last time Xiao Yao sang and danced on stage was probably when he performed the song "The Great Wall" on the Spring Festival Gala. Because that song was performed by Xiao Yao and Chen Chen, except for the interlude in the middle and the end of the song, the movements of the two were the same. At other times, he and Chen Chen took turns standing at the front to sing and dancing among the supporting dancers. Both of them don't dance when they sing, and they don't sing when they dance, so it can't be regarded as singing and dancing in the true sense.

For this reason, the dance movements of the song "The Great Wall" designed by Xiao Yao are much more difficult in terms of technical difficulty than the general singing and dancing backup dancers, and even used a lot of "Torrent" dance troupe to participate in the "National Street Dance" "Contest" movements, but because the LED light suit is too eye-catching, not many people discuss the difficulty of dance movements alone.

Xiao Yao can only sing this time alone. What Xiao Yao wants is not for a group of people to dance with him when he sings, but for himself to participate in the whole dance, to have a real singing and dancing. However, due to the limitation of holding a microphone, the dance movements designed by Xiao Yao for this performance cannot be very difficult. There is no way to do this.

In terms of the difficulty of the dance moves in the previous group dance, Xiao Yao's dance is at the level of difficulty of dances performed by ordinary stars in concerts. For the audience at the scene, being able to see the singer showing a general concert-level dance during the singing and dancing on the stage of "Singer" will already satisfy them, let alone Xiao Yao is still here. A lot of novel moves that seem not too difficult but feel particularly handsome or cool have been added to a section.

Although the audience seemed satisfied, Xiao Yao was not satisfied. Since he couldn't increase the difficulty of his dance moves, Xiao Yao wanted to play tricks elsewhere, which is why Xiao Yao specially invited Cheng Xi.

Of course, Cheng Xi is not the first bright spot in the dance of this song. The first highlight was completed by several accompanying harmony singers on the high stage behind the live stage to help Xiao Yao.

"Even if it's a mistake, I'm just afraid of making mistakes~"

"Pass~"

When Xiao Yao sang the fourth line of the first verse, he deliberately dragged out a long sound on the penultimate word, and the last word in this line was followed by four accompaniment singers sang it. The word they sang was also a drawn-out sound. When the accompanying harmony singers sang this word, Xiao Yao let his left hand holding the microphone leave his mouth, opened his arms, and joined the backup dancers. Made a cool street dance move.

"Call together~"

"Dream~"

"Separate call~"

"Pain~"

After this movement was completed, the dance movement happened to retract both arms, and Xiao Yao took advantage of the situation to retract his left hand to his mouth, and then sang the next line of the song. When the first half of the fifth sentence was sung, Xiao Yao still left the last word for the accompanying harmony singers, and the dance at this time happened to be a movement of opening his arms from his chest to his sides, Xiao Yao also let his left hand holding the microphone leave his mouth again, and he and the backup dancers fully demonstrated this movement. The same thing happened again in the second half of the next sentence.

"Wow~" Seeing Xiao Yao's seamless transition between one-handed dance and two-handed dance, the audience excitedly gave a burst of applause and cheers.

This movement is almost not difficult technically, but to have such a smooth effect, it is a test of composition, choreography, and the ability to match the two. Now everyone knows that Xiao Yao has very outstanding abilities in these two aspects, and since Xiao Yao participated in the show, he has never done choreography and music arrangement by others, and has always designed it by himself, so this The burst of applause is also the audience's affirmation of Xiao Yao's talent in choreography and arrangement.
