Entertaining Children

The ten songs of the album are finally complete. Xiao Siqi is the producer himself, and it is an album that he regards as a turnaround. He has very strict requirements on the quality of the songs. Naturally, there is no problem in submitting ten songs to the record company for review. Immediately afterwards, the record company arranged a series of work such as arrangement and recording.

Entering the stage of album production, the record company provided Xiao Siqi with a complete production team. Xiao Siqi is the original author of the lyrics and music, and has the deepest understanding of the songs. At the same time, because he is also a producer, he also has the ability to arrange music. So in addition to singing and recording, he has to participate in the early arrangement of each song and the later track synthesis.

Shen Yinan is a very experienced professional composer, arranger and producer of China Entertainment Records. He has cooperated with Xiao Siqi not once or twice. He was the arranger and producer of Xiao Siqi's first two albums. He and Xiao Siqi co-arranged and produced it. He is quite familiar with Xiao Siqi's music style, but when he got the score and lyrics of Xiao Siqi's ten songs this time, he found that three songs were quite different. In the past, Xiao Siqi's style was all little love songs with some sad feelings, but this time, two of them took on a sweet and brisk style, while the other one was from childhood sadness to extreme grief all at once. What's even more strange is that Xiao Siqi, who has always insisted on independent creation, has other people appearing in the signature of two songs this time. In the past, other people's names did not appear in Xiao Siqi's works, but those were composed by Xiao Siqi and written by others. But these two songs, lyrics and music are both in the names of two people.

"It's definitely not easy for you, a little stubborn, to change your style and be willing to sign and co-create it." Shen Yinan raised the two lyrics in his hand, "Xiao Qi, tell me, who is this XY?"

"This... Teacher Shen, keep this secret." Xiao Siqi scratched his head in embarrassment. He had already been questioned once by Xu Ting and the art director of the record company, and finally managed to deal with it, and now it happened again.

"You boy, are your wings hard? Keep it a secret from me too?" Shen Yinan rolled up a few pieces of paper in his hand, and tapped Xiao Siqi's head gently. Shen Yinan is in his fifties, not only a veteran in the company and the entire industry, but also a teacher who teaches Xiao Siqi's arrangement and music production, so he is qualified to treat Xiao Siqi like this.

"It's not that I want to keep it a secret from you," Xiao Siqi rubbed his knocked head with a wry smile, "It's XY who asked to keep his identity a secret, and I've already promised him, you can't just keep your word, right? I'm definitely not targeting you. Last time Director Cheng and my manager, Sister Xu, jointly extorted a confession, I didn't say anything. I still hope that they will continue to cooperate with me in the future."

Hearing that neither the high-level art director of the company nor the manager who is close to Xiao Siqi knew the identity of this mysterious person, Shen Yinan felt better. At the same time, she also knew that since these two people did not let Xiao Siqi speak, how could he force him to ask? , This little stubborn probably won't say anything.

"Okay, then tell me about the creation process of these two songs, how did you collaborate, which ones were written by you, and which ones were written by that XY?" Shen Yinan retreated and asked the next best thing.

"Well, XY said it, and it has to be kept secret." Xiao Siqi said carefully.

"You..." The scroll in Shen Yinan's hand was raised again, Xiao Siqi quickly put his head in his hands. Seeing the funny look of Xiao Siqi holding his head, Shen Yinan couldn't help being a little funny. In the end, he had no choice but to say to Xiao Siqi angrily: "Go in and audition!"

Xiao Siqi slipped into the recording studio as if he had been pardoned, and he couldn't help but think of Xiao Yaolai who was the one who started the crime, and wondered what he was doing with his father Xiao Chengru at the moment.

At this moment, Xiao Yao is in the Hengdian Film and Television City in Zhejiang Province, and he is happily mixing with Xiao Chengru in a certain TV drama crew.

Since Xiao Siqi is very involved in the production of this album, and there is a lot of work to be done, he doesn't have much time to accompany and take care of Xiao Yao.

When encountering difficulties, the first thing Xiao Siqi thought of was his father.

Xiao Chengru is naturally 10,000 willing to take care of his grandson. Xiao Yao didn't have any objection to staying with Xiao Chengru. He originally thought that with Xiao Chengru this time, he would still practice boxing in the morning and calligraphy in the afternoon like half a year ago. What he didn't expect was that this time Xiao Chengru actually took over the filming of a TV series, and discussed with him to take him to the Hengdian Film and Television City in Zhejiang Province in the south to film together.

In recent months, although Xiao Chengru was not by Xiao Yao's side, he still knew Xiao Yao's situation quite well. Practicing boxing, calligraphy, learning music theory, and practicing musical instruments almost occupied Xiao Yao's entire time every day. On the one hand, Xiao Chengru felt relieved that a four-year-old child was so diligent in studying and practicing, but on the other hand, he also felt that the child was pushing himself too hard. At Xiao Chengru's current age, it is rare for him to play the leading role in a film and television work. The TV series he is now accepting is a relatively important supporting role such as the protagonist's father. Although he has weight, he is only a supporting role after all. He appears in about one-third of the episodes in the whole drama. The role is not too heavy, and there is still a lot of free time. The filming location is Hengdian in Zhejiang Province in the south. The film and television city happened to avoid the cold winter in the north, so Xiao Chengru simply took Xiao Yao to work and play in the warm south.

So, Xiao Yao followed Xiao Chengru to this film and television city in Zhejiang Province. When Xiao Chengru was filming, Xiao Yao found a corner on the set of the crew to stay quietly by himself. When Xiao Chengru was not required to participate in the filming for more than one day, Xiao Chengru took Xiao Yao to some beautiful and worthwhile places around the film and television city to appreciate the lush greenery of the southern country in winter.

The vast majority of people are very curious about things like filming, and Xiao Yao is naturally no exception. In the previous life, Xiao Yao didn't have a chance, but in this life, since Xiao Yao had the opportunity to enter the set, he wouldn't let it go for nothing. When Xiao Chengru was filming, although Xiao Yao's body and mouth were very quiet, his mind and eyes were not idle. The operation of the entire crew, the different divisions and collaborations of various parts, and even the performance of the actors, the arrangement of the camera positions all attracted Xiao Yao's attention. And whenever Xiao Chengru came to him without a role, Xiao Yao would always have a bunch of related questions waiting for Xiao Chengru.

Xiao Chengru has been in the industry for nearly forty years and has been on countless sets. In addition to his own professional performance, the crew's camera, lighting, costumes, make-up, props, and even the director and scene record, the work of various departments also has a good understanding of the work of each department. Can answer with ease and without leaking. But as Xiao Yao's questions became deeper and more professional, Xiao Chengru, who gradually felt that he couldn't handle it, had no choice but to take Xiao Yao to ask the heads of various departments of the crew with a shy face. Of course, it must be during the rest time that will not affect people's normal work.

In the entire crew, Xiao Chengru is the tallest regardless of age or seniority. From the director to the drama manager, everyone has to address him as "Old Xiao" or "Teacher Xiao" when they meet. For Xiao Chengru to bring his grandson to ask for advice in person, even if they were not flattered, they would not hide and pretend. In addition, as a child, Xiao Yao deliberately used shameless tricks such as being sweet and cute. These usually work behind the scenes. Guys who seldom receive praise and admiration naturally know everything and talk endlessly when their sense of accomplishment and vanity are greatly satisfied. And as Xiao Yao stayed longer and longer in the crew, and everyone liked him more and more for his sensibility and cuteness, some people even dared to cherish themselves as if they were their lives. The eating guy gave Xiao Yao a hand to play, and got a feel for the actual operation.

Later, even if Xiao Chengru was not in the scene, Xiao Yao would pester Xiao Chengru to take him to the crew's set to watch when he was not needed to go to the set. When it was time to take a break between filming, Xiao Yao enthusiastically jumped to the side of the bunch of uncles, aunts, sisters, and brothers he had just met. Some time ago, Xiao Chengru could not go to the set to take him out for a walk, but now Xiao Yao is not interested at all. Seeing Xiao Yao enjoying himself in the crew, Xiao Chengru felt that his plan to take his grandson out to relax was completely bankrupt. Originally, I wanted him to forget about studying for a while, but after this trip, it seemed that he had learned more.

"Bayi, I see that you are so interested in all aspects of the crew. Do you want to do this when you grow up? What exactly do you want to do? Be a director?" Seeing Xiao Yao's enthusiasm so high, Xiao Chengru finally couldn't help it. Take the opportunity to ask him one night.

"Director? It seems that the entire crew has to take care of everything. I feel so tired and troublesome." Xiao Yao shook his head. This is also his most intuitive feeling about being a director during this period.

"Then what do you want to be when you grow up?" Xiao Chengru asked seriously. To say that the average child asks this question at this age is mostly just for fun, and they don't take it too seriously. But Xiao Yao's mind is far beyond that of ordinary children of this age, Xiao Chengru thinks that the answer Xiao Yao gave at this time should not be such a joke. If he really has a goal, he should also be guided and cultivated in a targeted manner, so as not to waste his learning talent that surpasses his peers.

"I haven't thought about it... No, I haven't thought about it yet, I'm still young." Xiao Yao said in a nonchalant tone: "Learn first when you encounter something you are interested in. If you are always interested, keep learning. It’s fine if you’re not interested. I didn’t even go to elementary school, so it’s too early to think about my future career now.”

After hearing Xiao Yao's words, Xiao Chengru's expression was a little weird. Although Xiao Yao is indeed still young, Xiao Chengru still felt a strange feeling when he heard Xiao Yao say "I'm still young" confidently in person. What Xiao Yao said was also very reasonable, but when such reasonable words were spoken from a four-year-old child, it seemed...very unreasonable.

Fortunately, Xiao Chengru was used to Xiao Yao's unusualness, so in the end he could only heave a long sigh, and said helplessly, "Forget it, you can do whatever you want, learn whatever you want, as long as you don't cause trouble. "

"Really?" Xiao Yao asked again.

Seeing Xiao Chengru nodding, Xiao Yao immediately said: "When I was chatting with the sister Tian Tian who played your daughter yesterday, she said that when she was studying at the film school, she had to do morning exercises every morning. And she practiced morning exercises when she was doing morning exercises. That "three-chamber resonance" seems to be different from the practice of hanging my voice in the morning that my father taught me, isn't it?"

"Of course actors practice their lines differently than singers practice their vocals." Xiao Chengru said with a smile, "One is for talking and the other is for singing. Can it be the same?"

"Then you can also teach me what the "Three Chamber Resonance" is." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Starting tomorrow, we will also do the morning exercises. After the morning exercises, I will practice boxing again."
