Entertaining Children

"Really?" Mother Tang and Tang Jingjing looked at Xiao Yao happily and said. Eighty-one???? Chinese W (i) W? W?. 81 ZW. COM

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, and continued, "But I want you to promise me a few conditions."

"Tell me." Tang's mother's excitement decreased a little, but she still smiled.

"It's you first," Xiao Yao bowed and looked at Tang Jingjing and said, "Although I promised to be your teacher, I'm not used to hearing people call me teacher. So you have to promise me not to call me teacher in the future, but to call me brother, etc. When you grow up, if you think it’s awkward to call you brother, you can just call me by my name, but don’t call me teacher, okay?” This can be regarded as a little quirk brought over by Xiao Yao from his previous life.

"Okay," Tang Jingjing nodded repeatedly, "You are several years older than me, I will always call you brother from now on, even when I grow up, I will always call you that way."

"Huh~" Upon hearing such a condition, Tang's mother was slightly relieved. She didn't lose her mind just because Xiao Yao agreed to be Tang Jingjing's teacher. Without knowing what Xiao Yao's conditions were, he didn't dare to say the words "agree to any conditions", because he was afraid that Xiao Yao would make some excessive demands. Xiao Yao's first request sounds weird, but it is completely acceptable.

As a result, before Mama Tang let out her breath, Xiao Yao turned to her and said, "The next condition is for you and Jingjing's father."

"You just said that knowing my situation, I can't guarantee the teaching time for Jingjing, and I can't guarantee exactly how much I will teach her or how high her singing level will be raised. Only when the opportunity is right Teach her as much as possible under the circumstances." Xiao Yao said.

"I understand this, and we also talked about this issue just now." Mother Tang said.

"What's more," Xiao Yao continued, "Although I'm Jingjing's teacher, I'm only responsible for teaching her about music. I'm not her manager, and I'm not responsible for her current and future acting career."

"This..." Tang's mother hesitated for a moment, this was a little different from her original intention of asking Xiao Yao to be Tang Jingjing's teacher.

"Of course, I will try my best to do what is good for her acting career, but I don't make any guarantees." Xiao Yao continued, "For example, if I have a song that suits her, I will definitely choose her. Come sing, if there is a suitable opportunity to perform, I will also recommend her, but I will not write songs for her and make an album for her in order to promote her, do you understand?"

"Understood, I accept it too!" When Xiao Yao said this, it was more consistent with Tang's mother's original intention, and she immediately nodded readily.

"This guy,

I just don't want to tie myself down. Xiao Siqi made a comment from the side, then turned to Fan Linxuan with a smile, "The two songs in your album back then were brought by me for you. "

"I know, thank you boss." Fan Linxuan nodded with a smile, "But he can agree to this level, which is enough to show that he really likes this little girl."

"Also," Xiao Yao continued, "I teach Jingjing, and I won't charge any fees. If I ask Jingjing to record songs for me, I won't pay any money either. But if the song works, you should deserve it. For example, I will hand over the song I recorded this time to my dad’s studio to release a single after the press conference. The copyright of the song is naturally mine, but the revenue share that the singer deserves, you guys Talk to my dad's studio by myself, I don't care."

"Isn't this condition a bit too good?" Tang's mother frowned, "You are also teaching Jingjing to record songs. We shouldn't ask you for remuneration, and you don't charge tuition fees, and you share the singer's income. Give us Chengdu, I think we are taking advantage of you."

"You don't care who has the advantage and who suffers the disadvantage. Anyway, these are my conditions, and there is no room for negotiation. If you promise, I will accept this student." Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Such a good condition, we must have agreed." Mother Tang said.

"Okay, you guys are done talking, shouldn't it be time for us to talk?" Xiao Siqi said to Tang's mother again, "I wonder if you would like your daughter to sign a contract with our studio?"

"Ah?" Mother Tang was startled again, "You want to sign my daughter?"

"Of course," Xiao Siqi smiled, "Your daughter has become my son's student, isn't it normal for me to sign her?"

"But she's only twelve years old. Is it appropriate to sign a contract at such a young age?" Mother Tang asked worriedly.

"Don't worry," Xiao Siqi comforted with a smile, "I'm not the kind of person who exploits children as money-making machines. Xiao Yao can write songs at the age of five, but how did he grow up? Regarding the age of the girl, I will provide her with a very loose contract. There will be no restrictions on how many activities she must attend and how many commercial performances she must attend. All announcements and performances will be made in full respect of the wishes of the children themselves and your parents. The negotiation will not affect her studies and growth. I guarantee that this relaxed condition will continue until she reaches adulthood, and we will negotiate a new contract according to the situation after she reaches adulthood."

"Now sign a contract with the studio with looser terms, and you can get more benefits." Xiao Siqi continued, "Xiao Yao is a member of the studio, and his songs are usually produced by ourselves. We sell the songs of the singers we sign, and the singers can get a higher share of the song revenue. Our studio is not only a music creator, Xiao Yao, but also buys some excellent works of other creators outside the company. No one It is stipulated that your daughter can only sing songs written by Xiao Yao? If our studio has works suitable for children of her age, we will give priority to singers under our studio. In addition, if you want your daughter to try acting, we The studio also has resources in this area, but my wife is in charge of this area, and she happens to come over tomorrow, so you can discuss the terms with her."

"Xiao Yao just said that he was not responsible for Jingjing's acting career, and his father wanted to sign Jingjing with such a favorable condition. What are these father and son arguing about?" Tang's mother murmured, subconsciously looking at Xiao Yao .

"Don't look at me," Xiao Yao spread his hands, "I told you, I'm not Jingjing's agent, this matter has nothing to do with me, you can decide for yourself whether to sign or not."

"Hey, you boy!" Before Mother Tang said anything, Xiao Siqi expressed her dissatisfaction first, "Are you from the studio? At this time, shouldn't you help me persuade Mother Tang to let Jingjing and us Is the studio signed?"

"At the beginning, I just said jokingly, whoever wins, I will ask the studio to sign him, and you really signed Lin Xuan, and then when you prepared her new album, you said that you signed her because of me. , I have to contribute two songs to her new album," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I don't want to give you the same reason to force me to write songs."

"So that's how the two songs in my album came from." Fan Linxuan sighed intentionally.

"In principle, I agree with Jingjing to sign a contract with your Qijia studio," Tang's mother said, "but we have to read the specific terms of the contract before making a final decision. I will inform Jingjing's father to come to Shanghai tomorrow, and then we will Let's discuss it together." Anyway, Xiao Yao still wrote a song for Fan Linxuan. As Xiao Siqi said, there are indeed many benefits to signing a contract now. As long as the terms of the contract are really relatively loose and will not affect the children's studies and growth, then signing a contract now is a very good choice.

"Okay, no problem." Xiao Siqi said happily.

The next day, Ye Jiaying and Gong Chen, who were on the guest list invited by Yin Xi, came to Shanghai ahead of schedule.

After the two arrived at Yin Xi's studio, Ye Jiaying, who had received a call from Xiao Siqi the night before, took the contract she had brought with Xiao Siqi and discussed the details of the terms of the contract with Tang's mother and Tang's father who also came here temporarily. And Gong Chen happily ran to the recording studio to watch Xiao Yao record the little girl.

"Gong Chen, you also arrived early." As soon as Gong Chen pushed open the door of the studio's operating room, Xu Yuan greeted him with a smile, and said jokingly, "Did you hear that your studio is about to sign a newcomer, and you are worried about your status? Don’t worry, rush to see this new competitor.”

"What nonsense are you talking about, why is your status not guaranteed? I just heard that Xiao Yao wrote songs for little girls, so I just came over to take a look." Gong Chen said.

"Did you both record your songs?" Gong Chen saw that Xiao Yao was recording songs for the little girl in the recording room wearing monitor headphones, and he didn't bother, just asked Xu Yuan and Fan Linxuan.

"Recorded." Fan Linxuan and Xu Yuan nodded together. Fan Linxuan smiled and said, "Our singing skills and experience are better than those of twelve-year-olds. I don't have to ask Xiao Yao to correct her English pronunciation like a child. The boss is also more experienced as a producer than Xiao Yao. Of course we recorded faster."

Xiao Yao had already listened to the song Xiao Siqi recorded for them last night, and said that it fully met his requirements, so their task has been completed, and today they will come to the recording studio to watch Xiao Yao record the little girl.

"What about the recorded stuff? Let me listen to it first." Gong Chen asked.

"It's at Xiao Yao's place." Fan Linxuan pointed to Xiao Yao who was sitting in front of the console, "He said that our singing is fine, but he still needs to add some sound effects in the later stage, so the audio files are all in his In your hand. If you want to listen, first listen to this kid singing, it will definitely surprise you." After speaking, Fan Linxuan walked back to the console and picked up another pair of monitor earphones, motioning for Gong Chen to come and listen.

Gong Chen walked to the console and appeared in Xiao Yao's peripheral vision. Xiao Yao turned his head and took a look. He didn't express any surprise at Gong Chen's appearance. He just nodded slightly as a greeting, and continued to pay attention to the singing of the little girl in the recording room by the glass window.

"Is this sung by a twelve-year-old girl?" Gong Chen put on the monitor earphones and listened to a few words. Immediately, he lost his composure. He took off the earphones from one ear and asked Fan Linxuan with staring eyes.

"Of course," Fan Linxuan said with a smile, "Do you think Xiao Yao will accept students casually?"

"How is it? Do you feel pressure and a sense of crisis?" Xu Yuan also smiled.

The two of them have been practicing and recording songs with Xiao Siqi for the past few days. Although they knew that Xiao Yao was teaching the little girl to practice, it was the first time they heard the little girl's voice until today, and they were immediately attracted by her voice. The voice was amazing, and they had the same expressions as Gong Chen just now.

"What pressure and sense of crisis do I have?" Gong Chen smiled, "The little girl sings very well, but her voice characteristics are completely different from mine, and there is no direct competition."

"It's not the same type as Fan Fan's voice," Gong Chen looked at Xu Yuan and said, "Her voice with a slightly hoarse feeling is a bit like yours. Don't look at her current song, which is lazy and a little bit small." A melancholy song, but when she gets older, she can improve her high notes. Maybe she will feel like you when she sings rock and roll. You are not the singer of our company. You should be the one with a sense of crisis. Bar?"

"Okay. Take a break first, and continue later." Xiao Yao pressed the switch of the microphone in front of him, and said to Tang Jingjing on the other side of the glass window.

Seeing Tang Jingjing nod and took off the earphones, opened the door and walked out of the recording studio, Xiao Yao also took off the monitor earphones on his head, tapped his lips with his fingers, and began to think about something.

"Brother, how was my singing just now?" Tang Jingjing, who came out of the recording room, came directly to the operation room, and asked Xiao Yao as soon as she entered the door.

"You sang very well," Xiao Yao nodded and praised with a smile.

After hearing Xiao Yao's praise, the little girl immediately burst into a smile, and then she turned to Fan Linxuan and Xu Yuan and said, "Hello, sister Linxuan, and hello, sister Xu Yuan."

"Hi sister Gong Chen, I'm Tang Jingjing." The little girl finally said to Gong Chen who met for the first time, "I like your song very much. I have arrived at a fairy sister."

"Thank you." Gong Chen leaned over with a smile, "You can really talk! But do you only like my songs? What about these two sisters?"

"When we met yesterday, she already praised us!" Xu Yuan said from the side, "Praise is still different."

"This little girl is not only good at singing, but also very good at talking," Fan Linxuan commented with a smile, "I guess she also has high IQ and EQ."

"Okay, stop talking, take a rest first, if you are thirsty or hungry, sister Minyi has food and drink." Xiao Yao ordered.

"Oh." Tang Jingjing nodded obediently immediately, and sat down on the sofa beside her.

"Minyi," Xiao Yao beckoned to Pei Minyi again, "I'm going to use these two days to help Jingjing shoot the cover of the single. Help me find the designers under Sister Xi's team. I'm looking for a light-colored skirt suit for Jingjing, such as beige, light blue or ivory, which will give people a hazy feeling. Please ask them to help me find some alternatives and send them to my mailbox. I'll pick it myself tonight."

"Okay," Pei Minyi nodded, and then asked, "Are you taking pictures for Jingjing yourself? Would you like to bring all the photography equipment for you tomorrow?"

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "I'm going to ask my teacher to help Jingjing take pictures. After you go to the designer, go to the studio and talk to my teacher Chen Xuan, and say that I will ask him to give it to my students. Take a photo for the cover of the single. I will design the renderings tonight and give them to him tomorrow. It doesn’t matter if he refuses to agree, just tell him about it, and I will go to him again. shot."

"I'll go! Help her find clothes, design single cover photos, and ask Chen Xuan to take pictures! Is this what you said yesterday that you only teach her music knowledge and are not responsible for her acting career?" Xu Yuan looked at Xiao Xiao in surprise. distant way.

"I also designed performance costumes and masks for you and Gong Chen, and I also designed and shot Lin Xuan's album cover photo," Xiao Yao said with a smile to Xu Yuan, "Do you think I should be responsible for your acting career? "

"Then you didn't ask Chen Xuan to take pictures of Fan Fan." Xu Yuan said.

"That's because Chen Xuan happens to be here, and my photography teacher's photography skills are higher than mine, so I can justifiably be lazy." Xiao Yao spread his hands.
