Entertaining Children

Shen Na readily agreed to Xiao Yao, and notified the program team of this request. As Xiao Yao said, this does not violate the rules of the competition in principle, and the program team also smoothly agreed to Xiao Yao's request.

In the following days, everyone began intense practice and rehearsal. Since Xiao Yao's learning progress of Jingyun singing is about the same as Mei Qingchang estimated, it is estimated that Jingyun songs will be too late. So a week later, Xiao Yao handed over the lyrics, music and soundtrack arrangement of another song to Shen Na. This is a song with a strong Chinese flavor, combined with Western r\u0026amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; Shen Na is also extremely satisfied with the song that Xiao Yao produced, and her confidence in Xiao Yao has also been greatly enhanced.

When the time came to the end of July, everyone's practice and rehearsal were basically completed. So Shen Na generously gave the four of them a vacation again, letting them prepare for the game in a few days with a relaxed attitude.

On the evening of August 4th, the top 16 match was recorded. The whole team booked a flight to Hangzhou on the morning of August 2nd. After a break in the afternoon, they began to practice and rehearse with the band in the evening. Shen Na, a big landlord, has taken the time to invite all the team members in Yanjing to her house as guests, and Xiao Yao, a small landlord, is naturally not easy to leave behind. It happened that August 1st was his eighteenth birthday, so Xiao Yao planned to invite all the team members in Yanjing to his home on the night of July 31st and have a birthday party.

There are three non-finalists who came to Yanjing this time, including Shen Na, there are seven people in total. In addition, including parents and Xiao Yao himself, there are only ten people in total, and it is not too crowded to gather all of them in Xiao Yao's house.

For the party invitation sent by Xiao Yao, the team members immediately cheered, expressing that they have been very curious about Xiao Yao's home for a long time. What they say is that they have long wanted to know "how evildoers are made".

The party was at night. Xiao Yao learned from the party he saw at the home of Keith Craig and Betty Bellett in the United States last year, and held a Western-style party. There are a lot of buffet meals and drinks, and everyone walks around and chats freely, freely and unrestrained.

The reason why the party was held on July 31st instead of August 1st is because Xiao Yao had already planned to spend the first day alone with Sun Tingting. The dinner on the 31st was also a family of four gathering together to help Xiao Yao hold an early birthday party, so neither Xiao Chengru nor Sun Tingting would come to join in the fun at night, and the family of three only needed to entertain Shen Na and the teammates in the team.

At nine o'clock in the evening, a group of seven people appeared at the gate of Xiao Yao's house on time under the leadership of Shen Na. Welcoming everyone in, after some greetings and introductions, Shen Na stayed in the living room to chat with Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying, while Xiao Yao took his teammates around the house for a general tour.

A pile of musical instruments in the piano room, various books on several large bookshelves in the study room, a variety of photographic equipment in the photography room, wooden stakes and sandbags in the gym, and a simple recording studio in the basement. After the six of them visited Xiao Yao's house, they didn't close their mouths much. Not only did they get a general understanding of how Xiao Yao became a "monster", but they also had a better understanding of what kind of "monster" Xiao Yao was.

After turning around, Xiao Yao took six teammates back to the large living room on the first floor. After seeing the parents who were chatting with Shen Na, Xiao Yao suddenly smiled and said to his father Xiao Siqi: "Dad, among the six people in our group, there are three who have not signed with any company. The Studio Division will sign one or two more singers, you can check them out, they are all pretty good."

"It can be considered. Anyway, there are not many singers in the studio now. If we sign one or two with strength and potential, the company can take care of it." Xiao Siqi said with a smile.

"Actually, the essence of your current program is that those new singers who have already signed a record company will make their debut and show themselves on stage with some talented singers who have not signed a record company.

Of course, our studio will also consider good seedlings who perform well in the show. Although I didn't go to the scene, we have already asked the program team to watch the live video of the program you recorded before, and we have people for inspection, but there are still two games to come, and we have to wait until the general manager to make a real decision. After the finals. "Ye Jiaying said from the side.

"Are you really waiting until after the finals to decide? Are you afraid that all the good seedlings will be snatched up by then? Your family is not the only one staring at this show." Shen Na interjected. In fact, what she talked with Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying just now was also about this issue. She was recommending to the two of them the players in her team who thought they were good but hadn't signed yet. Now she began to plan for their future.

"We are a studio with a small family, unlike those big record companies with big businesses, so of course we have to be more cautious about signing people." Xiao Siqi spread his hands, "We prefer shortages."

"Come on, you guys are still small families." Shen Na rolled her eyes at Xiao Siqi and said, "Who doesn't know that the fastest and smoothest development in the past two years is your small studio. A background dancer In just over a year, you have almost turned me into a popular actress in the TV circle. Now who in the circle dares to underestimate your small studio."

"That's the credit of my dad and Jiaying's performing arts department. The main staff of my music department, besides myself, is still studying and hasn't even released an album yet." Speaking of this, Xiao Siqi watched Glancing at Xiao Yao, he continued, "I have to be more cautious. If someone messes up after signing, I won't be able to hold my head up in the studio."

"Who are you talking about? Could it be Cheng Xi?" Xiao Yao asked in surprise, "Has she changed her career to become an actress?"

"Oh, you kid, you know how to play your own game, you don't care about the affairs of the studio, and you don't watch entertainment news." Xiao Siqi sighed deliberately.

"Your grandfather has been idle for the past two years. We invite him to come to the studio when he is free, and occasionally give acting lessons to the artists in our studio. It can be regarded as enriching his business life. Thinking about people How lively it is, your grandpa will be happier, so there are no restrictions on the employees in the company, anyone who has time can listen to it. As a result, after a few classes, the girl Cheng Xi became obsessed with acting, and your grandpa thought she was very talented. We also specially taught her for a period of time. Since we saw that she likes acting, we picked a few roles and recommended her to the crew to audition."

"Then she became red?" Xiao Yao stared deliberately, "It's so simple? I think I'm offended."

"Go, stop talking. What are you offending? He was born as a dancer, can endure hardships, looks good, and is smart. The people in our studio will naturally not start out as a fool. With your grandfather's guidance, your grandfather and I will be together Personally help her choose the book and choose the role, she started as a supporting role, and she acted in a few plays solidly, and then she took the lead." Ye Jiaying laughed, "But with her current trend, it will be a matter of time before she becomes popular. , This year's two major productions have already confirmed that she will play the leading role. Don't be too surprised if you find that your fan number in our studio has dropped to fourth place next year."

"Then she has changed careers completely? Then what about their Chenxi Dance Troupe? Does Chen Chen have any objections? It won't cause conflicts between their good friends, right?" Xiao Yao's focus was not on Ye Jiaying's mention at all.

"She basically doesn't have any activities with the dance troupe now. But she hasn't officially quit the dance troupe either. Now she is a nominal member of the dance troupe just like you. Chen Chen and the others are very reasonable, saying that since Cheng Xi can have a better development, the dance troupe The troupe will not hold Cheng Xi back. The dance troupe has already recruited someone else to fill Cheng Xi's position. With their current reputation, it is quite easy to recruit someone to replace Cheng Xi." Ye Jiaying explained.

"Oh." Xiao Yao nodded in relief.

Although Xiao Yao and Ye Jiaying were talking about actors, the team members of Shen Na next to them didn't show the slightest bit of impatience. This is an opportunity for them to have an intuitive understanding of Qi Jia's studio. Whether it is the strength of contacts and resources, or the company's internal atmosphere and way of doing things, you can hear a little shadow from it. Hearing them talk about how a back-up dancer was discovered and made into a popular newcomer in the TV industry, Xiao Yao, the "prince", still cared so much about her previous team and her relationship with friends, they were all moved by this studio up. Even though it was about Ye Jiaying's performing arts department, Xiao Siqi's way of handling things should not be too different.

Now that the conversation between Xiao Yao's mother and son had come to an end, Li Xuefeng, who was the oldest and most anxious, couldn't help but speak first.

"If someone deliberately loses to Xiao Yao when they meet Xiao Yao in the next game, will the chances of signing a contract with the studio be higher?" Li Xuefeng tested with a joking smile.

"What do you think?" Xiao Siqi smiled and looked at Xiao Yao.

"Of course not." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "And on the contrary, I think whoever can beat me in the competition and eliminate me should be signed by the studio."

"Why?" Several people showed strange expressions when they heard Xiao Yao's words, and Zeng Xia asked directly.

"Eliminating me is the proof of your strength." Xiao Yao laughed.

Li Xuefeng looked at Xiao Yao and said, "But you said that in front of us, isn't it stimulating us? If we really meet you, you are just making it harder for yourself to win the championship."

"But it's fun like this. I never said that I must win the championship if I participate in this show. For me, the championship is not important, but fun is more important. Otherwise, why should I tell Chen Nan that I will use it in the following competitions?" Original song?" Xiao Yao laughed.

"Your name really matches who you are." Li Xuefeng said enviously, giving a thumbs up.

"Hehe, I prefer to play." Xiao Yao smiled, and then greeted everyone, "When it comes to playing, everyone, don't just stand here and chat, find your favorite programs or projects to play. Let's play today. You're partying, and you're not here to talk about work."

Xiao Yao's home has two piano rooms, a studio, two gyms, and an entertainment room. There are many things and places to play. However, several of them are engaged in music, and the recording studio in the basement is the most interesting. Some of them have never been in a professional recording studio. Even if they have experience, they are still interested in the recording studio. maximum. It happened that Xiao Yao could also operate those devices, so he simply took them to the recording studio and took turns recording and playing for them.

Several people played in the recording studio until twelve o'clock in the evening, Xiao Yao's birthday came, and everyone returned to the living room on the first floor under the reminder of Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying. Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying had already prepared a cake for Xiao Yao. Everyone sang the birthday song to Xiao Yao together and cut the birthday cake before Shen Na bid farewell to the team members who still had a lot to say, and went back to the hotel to rest.
