Entertaining Children

When sending Sun Tingting back to the room, Xiao Siqi also sent Shen Na's private phone number. Seeing that the time was not yet eleven o'clock in the evening, Xiao Yao directly dialed Shen Na's phone number.

Shen Na who received Xiao Yao's call first cared about the situation of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting. Hearing the news that the two were together, Shen Na was also happy for the two, but she heard Xiao Yao said that she wanted to take Sun Tingting to the guidance During class, Shen Na still refused. Although Xiao Yao is a star student she values ​​very much, she doesn't want Xiao Yao to appear too special in the class, making other students in the class feel that there is a privileged class in the team. However, Shen Na said that Xiao Yao can take Sun Tingting to the TV station together. During the guidance class, she can arrange for her assistant to stay with Sun Tingting in other rooms and wait, because there are a total of 14 students divided into seven groups, calculated on average , There is not a lot of time allocated to each group of students every day.

Even Sun Tingting did not express any dissatisfaction with Shen Na's arrangement. All she thinks about now is Xiao Yao, so she naturally doesn't want to cause any barrier between Xiao Yao and his teammates because of her relationship.

After agreeing on tomorrow's arrangement, Xiao Yao asked Sun Tingting to go to bed early, and left Sun Tingting's room. On the way back to the room, Xiao Yao stopped by Ma Peng and Chen Mingfei's room to check. Seeing that the two had come back, they went in and sat down again. In addition to satisfying the curiosity of the two classmates and friends about the affairs between themselves and Sun Tingting, they also told them about their arrangements for tomorrow. At the same time, tell them to practice the songs for the next game in the next week, and let them arrange the following activities by themselves.

At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, Xiao Yao appeared on time in the No. 3 rehearsal room of Zhedong Radio and Television Building, and met with his mentor Shen Na, his assistant mentor Sha Zhou, and thirteen other students in Shen Na's team.

Since the previous blind selection was divided into five sessions in total, that is to say, the fourteen students were selected by Shen Na after recording five times. Some of them did not know each other, so Shen Na called everyone to introduce themselves first. After a while, I introduced Shazhou, the assistant mentor, to everyone.

Shazhou is a relatively active Mesozoic male singer in the Chinese music scene in this generation. He is in his thirties and is in the prime of life. When he is in full swing, he has a lot of experience and skills in singing since his debut for more than ten years. Groups of trainees are more than enough.

What Shen Na is most famous in the entertainment industry is that she has a strong network and very good popularity. Apart from her carefree and generous personality, many unique ways of doing things are also one of the important reasons.

After everyone got to know each other, Shen Na was not in a hurry to start grouping them and arranging songs for chorus, but first set up a group on the communication software and pulled all the students in. Then, she selected the oldest member of the student team as the captain, and asked the captain to be responsible for organizing and taking care of all the team members during the subsequent games. In the end, it was boldly announced that everyone in the team would have a dinner in the evening, the captain was responsible for organizing the reservation, and she was responsible for paying the bill. After everyone cheered and began to look like a team, she started today's business.

According to the rules and procedures of the program, the next stage of the competition is the mentor selection competition. Each instructor will divide the 14 students under his command into seven groups, and then they will sing a song together in pairs. After they have finished singing, the instructor selects the student who performed better to advance, and the other one will be eliminated. After the seven advanced students are determined, the instructor will select one student from the seven according to the previous performance to directly advance to the next stage of the mentor competition, and the remaining six will sing again in the form of solo with self-selected songs. pk, based on this, the instructor selects three more people, together with the student who was directly promoted before, to form a four-person team for the instructor battle match.

The first thing Shen Na needs to do is to pair the students into groups. These students were all selected by Shen Na during the blind selection or snatched back. She has a good understanding of their singing style and voice characteristics.

So on how to group and match them, Shen Na already had a plan in mind, and the process went smoothly.

In the end, Shen Na put Xiao Yao and a twenty-year-old girl named Chen Yuhan together. In the whole team, the two of them are the youngest two, and the reason Shen Na gave for grouping and pairing is precisely for this reason. But in the opinion of several students who have watched the live performance of the two of them blindly selected, although this Chen Yuhan is two years older than Xiao Yao, compared with Xiao Yao, he is inferior to Xiao Yao in terms of live performance and singing skills. with a cut.

There is one most intuitive point that can explain the problem very well. Xiao Yao is a four-turn player who has been recognized by all mentors, while Chen Yuhan only got the favor of Shen Na in the blind selection, and she was the only mentor at that time. turned around for it.

Of course, no one thought that Shen Na was going to escort Xiao Yao because of this. Because in the previous seasons of the program, it wasn't that the first-rank players overthrew the fourth-rank players in the chorus stage, and even Shen Na's team had this situation. Although Xiao Yao's performance in the blind selection was amazing, it was mostly because of his amazing skills in playing the three instruments at the same time. Although he sang that song very well, it was a folk song, and the treble that was the most attractive and the basis for many people's judgments in this show did not show at all. So Chen Yuhan is not completely without opportunities.

And Shen Na's subsequent performance also made everyone feel that Shen Na really didn't look like she was going to escort Xiao Yao. Because according to several team members who have heard Shen Na guide the two to sing songs, it seems that Shen Na not only did not lean towards Xiao Yao, but seemed to be favoring Chen Yuhan and deliberately making things difficult for Xiao Yao.

The first is the song selection after the grouping. Shen Na chose "Dark Night" for Xiao Yao and Chen Yuhan. This is Shen Na's own song, that is to say, it is a girl's song. This is relatively beneficial to Chen Yuhan, a girl. As for the distribution of song singing passages, the passages that are more familiar to the audience, relatively simple and expressive, all fall on Chen Yuhan's head. Most of what Xiao Yao is responsible for is relatively difficult and not very brilliant. Not only that, Xiao Yao was also arranged by Shen Na to play the piano during the performance. It is self-evident which is more difficult, playing and singing or just focusing on singing.

Even Shazhou was somewhat puzzled by Shen Na's arrangement. Although it's his first time to be a support mentor, he has watched the previous seasons of this show, and he also has a better understanding of the difference in popularity between Xiao Yao and Chen Yuhan. Is Shen Na trying to weed out a high popularity student and keep a low popularity student behind? Is she out of her mind?

Of course Shen Na's brain is not faulty, she dared to make such an arrangement, she naturally had absolute confidence in Xiao Yao. After all, she had heard a lot about Xiao Yao himself and about his talent and ability in music from Xiao Siqi. As long as Xiao Siqi is not a false flattery that completely disregards the facts, Xiao Yao's performance is enough for her to choose Xiao Yao to advance in the mentor selection competition. At the same time, this kind of arrangement can also block the doubts about her arranging the fourth-rank students and the first-rank students together.

Xiao Yao's performance in the next few days, while not disappointing Shen Na, also made the support mentor Shazhou approve of the arrangement of his old friend Shen Na.

In the guidance class on the first day, the performance of the two who also got the scores of the chorus songs for the competition for the first time was quite different. Xiao Siqi told Shen Na more than once that Xiao Yao's memory is surprisingly good. Xiao Yao also confirmed this very well in front of Shen Na and Shazhou. Five minutes after getting the score, Xiao Yao took the lead in singing the whole song in full in front of the two of them. Not to mention the level and effect of the singing, the fact that there is no mistake or omission in the whole song is enough to surprise Shazhou. As for Chen Yuhan, who sang after more than ten minutes, it was very normal that there were two small mistakes in the lyrics and the tune.

The contrast between the two became more obvious in the segmental exercises later and when Xiao Yao joined the practice after playing the piano. During the blind selection, Xiao Yao showed off his multi-purpose skills. At that time, he played three instruments at the same time, and also sang while playing two instruments, and played the piano while singing, which required dual-purpose skills. Naturally, it is a matter of course. What Shazhou didn't expect was that after listening to Xiao Yao's piano performance on the spot, he found that Xiao Yao's piano playing level seemed to be higher than the guitar he played for the longest time when he was blindly selected.

Because there are seven groups of students in total, Shen Na arranged to work seven hours a day. Each group of students has one hour of tutoring time every day, and the rest of the time is for practicing by herself. According to the arrangement of Shen Na and Shazhou, in the first few days, the two will respectively instruct one of the students in each group, and each will be responsible for the part that the student needs to sing and perform. It will not be until two days before the competition that the students in each group will be divided. Two students put together for chorus practice.

No matter how good Xiao Yao is, it is impossible to sing a song perfectly when he sings for the first time. The emotional expression in the voice, the mastery of the rhythm, and even the expression on his face when singing are all under the guidance of Shen Na. But because of Xiao Yao's strong memory and the skills and ability to control his own voice accumulated over more than ten years of practice, he has almost no repetition problems, so it is very easy for Shen Na to guide.

In comparison, both basic skills and performance experience are very lacking, but Chen Yuhan, who rushed into Shen Na's team of 14 students with her unique good voice, gave Shazhou a lot of headaches.

Then Shazhou discovered that Shen Na could rest at least half an hour longer than him every day. Because he spent much more time guiding Chen Yuhan than Shen Na spent guiding Xiao Yao. Most of the time, it was Shen Na who, after completing the task of instructing Xiao Yao and sending Xiao Yao away ahead of schedule, joined him in the guidance of Chen Yuhan's singing with a leisurely and playful look, and continued until the arrival of the next group of students.

And after the last two days of joint practice, Shazhou also had to admit that unless Xiao Yao performed abnormally on the day of the competition, or Chen Yuhan suddenly exploded, the solo song that Chen Yuhan prepared should have no chance to appear on the stage.

Shazhou felt this way, and Chen Yuhan's feeling was even more obvious as the person involved. It is obviously a song that is more beneficial to her, and the paragraph allocation is also the part that she sang more brilliantly, but the effect of her singing during rehearsal is not as good as the part sung by Xiao Yao. This is when Xiao Yao still has to take care of playing the piano accompaniment. So on the first day of joint training, she performed abnormally due to psychological frustration, and her state of frequent low-level mistakes was even worse than her performance on the second day of solo training.

Regarding Chen Yuhan's performance, Shen Na and Shazhou could only sigh helplessly. But the chorus performance is two people, and one of them is too bad. In the end, Shen Na and Shazhou patiently helped Chen Yuhan with psychological counseling and psychological construction, and then she slowly returned to normal. (To be continued.)
