Entertaining Children

The on-site director Zhao Mei heard this, and immediately said to the field manager next to him: "Xiao Chen, go and prepare the pen and ink immediately." Then she said to Wang Yuan through the headset: "Brother Yuan, at the end of the show, add a link where Xiao Yao writes calligraphy on the spot , as long as you know, don't say anything now, I'll let Xiao Chen prepare something."

Wang Yuan nodded slightly, indicating that he received it. He understands the intention of the director very well. After all, culture is the most important feature of their program, and it is also a very important aspect that distinguishes them from other programs of the same type. It is definitely a must for a five-year-old child to write calligraphy on the spot. A big attraction that fits the theme of their show very well.

Wang Yuan simply continued to take things from Xiao Yao and said, "Ba Yi, besides calligraphy, what else do you know? Let's just talk about it."

Xiao Yao thought for a while and said, "I have learned a lot of miscellaneous things, but most of them have not been learned for a long time. The only ones that have been practicing for a long time are martial arts, calligraphy and musical instruments."

"Do you know martial arts?" Wang Yuan asked with great interest, "What type of boxing? Which school?"

"I only know one set of Shaolin Changquan now. The master who taught me hasn't formally accepted me as an apprentice, so I can't talk about the genre now." After a pause, Xiao Yao pointed to his jeans and said, "You Don't let me perform live, my clothes don't fit today."

Wang Yuan really had the idea of ​​asking him to demonstrate on the spot, but Xiao Yao stopped him in advance.

Martial arts are not performed, and calligraphy is left to the end. Now I can only make a fuss about musical instruments. Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Yes, we don't make it difficult for others. But you don't perform martial arts, so you have to perform this instrument for us. We are all ready."

Li Xian and Liu Yang, who got the hint, immediately went to the side of the stage and brought the ukulele prepared in advance by the program crew, and helped Xiao Yao move a chair and put it in the center of the stage.

Wang Yuan took the ukulele but did not hand it over to Xiao Yao right away, but raised it up to the camera, and said: "The audience who have watched the first episode of "Where are we going, Dad?" The introduction should know what it is, but considering that some viewers may not have seen it, let me briefly say that this instrument looks similar to a guitar, much smaller than a guitar, and has two less strings called a ukulele. .”

After the brief introduction, Wang Yuan took the ukulele and asked Xiao Siqi: "You should be the one who taught you how to play Bayi?" Seeing Xiao Siqi nodding, Wang Yuan continued to ask: "This instrument is not played in our country. Common, how did you think of teaching Bayi to play this? Do you often play this?"

Xiao Siqi said: "Bayi started learning musical instruments more than a year ago. He originally wanted to learn the guitar, but because he was only about the same height as the guitar at that time, and his hands were not big enough, he couldn't learn it at all. Later, he I saw this instrument on TV and thought it was similar to a guitar, but it was much smaller, so I was obsessed with learning it. In fact, I didn’t play this instrument at that time, I just heard about it. But since Bayi wants to learn , I have to find a way, so I bought it and learned it by myself first, and taught him when I learned it. When it comes to playing this, I haven’t had much time since August 1st, and I mainly play the guitar more.”

Wang Yuan nodded with a smile and said: "If the child wants to learn, you should learn by yourself first, and then teach the child after learning. It seems that you are quite competent as a father. Originally, I wanted you to demonstrate first, since you said You don’t have as much time as Bayi, I think I’d better just let Bayi play.”

With that said, Wang Yuan handed the ukulele in his hand to Xiao Yao who was already sitting on the chair, and said, "Bayi, show us a hand."

Xiao Yao nodded, and after taking over the ukulele, he began to pluck and tune the strings one by one.

"Yo, quite professional." Andy is also a singer himself, and also knows some musical instruments. Looking at Xiao Yao's tuning, especially when he heard that the tuning is quite accurate, he couldn't help it. I like it.

"That's right, I don't even look at who my father is." Xiao Yao replied quite proudly, "My father can even find out the keys hidden in the guitar by listening to the sound. As his son, I If you can't even tune the pronunciation correctly, wouldn't it be a waste of studying with him for more than a year." Xiao Yao would not let go of any opportunity to improve his father's positive image.

After Xiao Yao said, everyone also remembered the scene of looking for the key in the secret room in the first issue of "Where Are We Going, Dad", and thought of Xiao Siqi's terrifying musical literacy, they all nodded.

After Xiao Yao tuned the strings, he started to play without waiting for Wang Yuan to call to start. What he played was the most popular song "The Most Beautiful" in Xiao Siqi's new album.

After playing a song, there was naturally applause on and off the stage. At this time, Wang Yuan stood up again and asked Xiao Yao a difficult question: "Ba Yi, don't keep coming and going and keep playing this song. You played this song "The Most Beautiful" in "Where Are We Going, Dad?" Come on, come to our show, you have to give us another song. Besides your father's song, do you know other people's songs?"

"Okay, then I'll change it." Xiao Yao nodded, and with a wave of his finger, a prelude melody that Wang Yuan was very familiar with sounded.

"This..." The other hosts also opened their mouths in surprise.

It turned out that Xiao Yao played a Cantonese song "True Me" by the late Southern Cantonese singer Chen Shirong this time. Wang Yuan once said in the show that his favorite singer is Chen Shirong, and he sang the song "True Me" more than once in the show. Not only Wang Yuan, but the other hosts who have partnered with him for several years are very familiar with this song.

After the prelude was played, Wang Yuan naturally sang along with Xiao Yao's gaze.

Wang Yuan has sung "True Me" countless times, and his singing is very good and tasteful, but he is not a professional singer after all, and he can't effectively sing with the rhythm and speed of Xiao Yao's playing. Comes at the tempo of the original. As for Xiao Yao's live performance, naturally he couldn't keep the rhythm and speed exactly the same as the original version. Wang Yuan couldn't cooperate with Xiao Yao, so Xiao Yao could only cooperate with Wang Yuan. Especially at the places where there were pauses, Xiao Yao forcibly suppressed the urge to pluck the strings with his fingers, and cooperated with Wang Yuan to wait for his voice to come out before making adjustments.

After the whole song was sung, the cooperation between the two was not perfect, but the whole singing was quite wonderful. Considering that it was the first collaboration between the two on a whim, and Xiao Yao's age. Everyone on and off the stage gave the warmest applause, and even Andy put two fingers in his mouth excitedly and whistled.

After finishing the song, Wang Yuan said excitedly: "I have sung this song countless times, but I want to say that today is definitely the most special one. When the program is broadcast, I must record this part myself. Get it down and engrave it into a CD for collection." After a pause, Wang Yuan walked to the side of the stage and said to the camera at a close distance: "I have been doing this show for six years, and I have never made any request for the later stage. Today is the first time I Make a request: You are not allowed to cut the section just now, otherwise I...I will desperately ask you for it."

"Brother Yuan, calm down!" Seeing Wang Yuan's agitation, the other four hosts hurriedly gathered around to appease Wang Yuan.

As a very experienced host, Wang Yuan's excited performance was partly for the effect of the show, and partly because he was genuinely moved by Xiao Yao. "True Me" is an old song almost twenty years ago. Neither Xiao Siqi nor Xiao Yao are people who would often listen to this kind of song in terms of age. Compared with the smooth "Most Beautiful", Xiao Yao Obviously playing "True Me" is a bit jerky. Obviously, he learned this song specially for him. This kid is really caring. No wonder he was the first to add food to the filming crew in "Where Are We Going, Dad?" He is the one who sends warmth.

Wang Yuan, who was pulled back to the center of the stage by the other four hosts, deliberately took two deep breaths before pulling back the rhythm. Thinking that the father and son had enough time alone, they took advantage of the opportunity to enter the next part of the program.

Wang Yuandao: "Thank you Bayi for bringing us a wonderful performance. We also experienced the ukulele, an uncommon instrument through Bayi. In fact, there are many other musical instruments in the world besides guitars and ukuleles. We will introduce several other plucked string instruments to you below. Some performers are invited to bring their instruments to the stage. Siqi and Bayi are invited to sit and rest and watch." Wang Yuan led Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao He sat down on the chair prepared by the stage.

A burst of music sounded, and with the sound of music, four people with musical instruments came up from the background. Xiao Yao paid attention to the musical instruments held by the four of them, and saw that they were two Western musical instruments and two traditional Chinese musical instruments. Xiao Yao knows both of the two western musical instruments, one is the same ukulele as he owns, and the other is known to Xiao Yao because he watched a video of Taylor Swift’s live performance in his previous life, and he knows it’s called the banjo. But never played. The two traditional Chinese musical instruments, Xiao Yao, both look like pipas, but they seem to be a little different from the pipas in my impression, so I'm not sure.

The four people stood on the stage with the music and made a collective appearance, and then took turns walking to the microphone fixed on the pole in front of them to introduce the instruments in their hands.

The first one to come up was a young man in his twenties who was holding a ukulele, and he said with a wry smile: "Hi everyone, my name is Wu Le, and the instrument I brought to you is ukulele Kerry, but just now I saw the performance of my little friend Bayi in the background, I think I seem to be a bit redundant today." After finishing speaking, he retreated with everyone laughing.

The second person who came up was another young man holding a banjo, his expression was much more beautiful, and he said with a smile on his face: "Hello, everyone, my name is Chen Wen, and today I bring you this The instrument is called the banjo."

The players of the two western instruments are both men, and the players of the two traditional Chinese instruments are both women. The third young woman who came up was not tall, and looked like a Jiangnan woman. She said softly: "Hello everyone, my name is Ruan Yuan, and the instrument I brought to you today is called Liuqin."

The last young woman had the same temperament as the previous one, and said to everyone with a gentle look: "Hi everyone, my name is Liu Ya, and the instrument I brought to you today is called Ruan."

"Welcome, welcome." Seeing that the four had finished introducing themselves, the five hosts also walked to the middle of the stage again.

The jumpy Andy was the first to suggest: "Brother Yuan, let's talk about this ukulele first. This Mr. Wu Le, please go back and leave. Let's invite Bayi up .” Saying that, he waved to Xiao Yao who was beside him.

A camera immediately focused on Xiao Yao who was sitting on the side. Xiao Yao knew that Andy was purely teasing the guests on the stage, so he waved his hand quickly, signaling not to go.

Wu Le glanced at Andy resentfully, and turned around to leave.

"Hey! How could you do this?" As the boss, Wang Yuan immediately grabbed Wu Le, came out to uphold justice, and said, "I'm already very sad, you are too hurtful."
