Entertaining Children

When the singers and program managers entered the recording studio where the results were announced, Tao Ran had obviously been waiting for a long time. The usual seven sofas and seven high chairs became ten sofas and ten chairs, which immediately packed a stage in the recording area to the brim. However, with so many people gathered together, it was obviously much more lively than usual.

After the singers and managers were seated, Tao Ran first expressed his thanks to the singers. First of all, of course, I would like to thank these singers for their wonderful performances for the audience today. The second is to lament the coincidence of this issue, which turned a breakout competition into a special concert of works. It is foreseeable that, apart from the live finals of each season, this episode will almost certainly be the most watched recorded episode since the show started. Of course, Tao Ran also took this opportunity to emphasize once again that today's special show is a spontaneous act of the singers, not a deliberate arrangement by the program group.

Finally, Tao Ran explained to everyone the accident that happened in the last scene. In the last season of the program, there were incidents where the singer stopped midway due to equipment failure and asked to re-sing and re-record. If it happens again this year, it will inevitably cause some controversy, and it will also be a huge blow to the software and hardware professionalism that the program has always advertised. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yao picked up a cappella on the fly, and then communicated with Liu Tong covertly and with gestures on the stage in time. With the accompaniment of the band, he completed the whole performance without a microphone, making this accident a reality. A very good and classic show. Therefore, Tao Ran specially thanked Xiao Yao again.

"Director Tao, I think Xiao Yao and all of us should thank your program team," Zhao Lixun said with a smile, "If it wasn't for your microphone suddenly breaking down, Xiao Yao wouldn't have had the opportunity to perform, and we wouldn't have been able to see it." Xiao Yao’s performance was so shocking. It’s the first time I’ve seen singing in a studio without a microphone.”

"Xiao Yao helped us round it this time, but what if someone else is replaced next time? No matter what, it's our equipment that has a problem this time, and it's our program team's work error." Tao Ran formally told everyone He bowed and said, "So, in addition to thanking you, I would also like to formally apologize to everyone on behalf of the program team. In addition, we will also review this mistake carefully and try our best to ensure that this kind of accident will not happen again in the future. .”

This program is not finished this year, and I want to continue it next year, so in this kind of matter, I have to admit my mistakes and express my attitude. Tao Ran had already said these words to the audience in the studio just now, and he doesn't mind repeating them here. After all, apart from looking for audiences, this show will also invite singers next year. Although these people who are sitting now are no longer within the scope of their choice of singers for next year, it is still possible to invite some of them to be kick-off singers or replacement singers next year.

After the words of thanks and apology are finished, the next step is to enter the topic. Ten singers competed for the seats in the four finals. The competition was very fierce, and Tao Ran had to deliberately set up some suspense when announcing the results to tease the singers present. But no matter how Tao Ran plays with suspense, the result will still be announced after all. Ten minutes later, Tao Ran finally announced the results of the breakout competition.

The first place in this breakout competition fell to Xiao Yao without much suspense.

The second place was won by Tian Wei who appeared second from last, the third place was won by South Korean singer Liu Youyuan who appeared fourth from last, and the fourth place was won by Qin Xiaodong who appeared fifth from last. Except for Hua Xiaolan who appeared in the third from the bottom and did not advance, the top four are basically arranged in reverse order of appearance, which also proves the importance of appearance ranking in this program. Of course, in the eyes of many singers, as long as Xiao Yao has the accident of microphone failure during singing, he still completes the performance with a cappella and without a microphone, so no matter how many times he appears on stage, the first estimate of this performance It will all be in his pocket.

"Congratulations to the four singers who have advanced to the final!" Tao Ran continued after announcing the rankings, "Of course we also want to thank the other six singers for their wonderful performances in this season's program. , Xueying and everyone here are so wonderful! During the finals, we also welcome you to come to watch and cheer for your favorite singers!"

"Thank you!" The ten singers applauded together.

"The final is a live broadcast, and we still have two episodes of the program that have not been broadcast, so the final will be in three weeks. During these three weeks, the singers who have advanced to the final have to contact the first-round singing guests themselves, and they must Prepare two competition songs, so although these three weeks seem a bit long, it is actually not very easy for the singers who have advanced to the finals. I hope you prepare well, and we also look forward to what you can bring us in the finals. Let’s have a more exciting performance.” Tao Ran finally announced, “This is the end of today’s recording! Finally, thank you all again!” The life of the second generation of immortals

After the recording was over, when everyone opened the door of the recording studio and left, they found that Hong Wei, Xiao Siqi, and Liang Xueying, three singers who had advanced ahead of schedule, were also waiting outside the door, apparently also concerned about the result of this breakout competition.

The performances of the singers were rather reserved and restrained, but from the expression on the manager's face behind them, it was easy to tell which singers were promoted and which ones failed.

"What's the number?" Looking at Shen Man's expression, Xiao Siqi knew that Xiao Yao must have advanced, so Xiao Siqi walked up to Xiao Yao and asked about the ranking directly.

"First!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Well, as everyone expected!" Xiao Siqi nodded, then shook his head and sighed, "What a pity!"

"What a pity?" Xiao Yao looked at his father strangely.

"If you sang today's song in the second round of the finals, maybe the program team would really dare to break the rules and give you the title of King of Songs!" Xiao Siqi leaned close to Xiao Yao's ear and covered his mouth.

Although everyone understands certain customary rules, it is not easy to say such things in public. Xiao Siqi came here purely as an audience today. He does not have a microphone on him, and the distance and volume will not be affected by the microphone on Xiao Yao's collar. Take it in.

"Father and son, why are you whispering?" Hong Wei pulled Xiao Siqi, walked to Xiao Yao's side and said, "I heard you won the first place in this game? You deserve it! Bull!" Hong Wei gave a thumbs up .

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao hurriedly bowed to thank him.

"Isn't it summer vacation on August 1st? I'll ask him if he wants to go home with me tomorrow." Xiao Siqi laughed, "For this kind of family matter, of course it's up to the two of us to discuss it ourselves!"

"Not going back to Yanjing for the time being." Xiao Yao followed Xiao Siqi's words and replied, "I promised my classmates to accompany them to an event, so I have to stay in Shanghai for a while."

"I have to go to participate in activities during the preparations for the finals. I really am a busy person." Hong Wei smiled, then turned to look at Xiao Siqi and said, "Why are you in such a hurry to let him go home as soon as the holiday is off? Your son has already grown up." As an adult, you are no more famous than you, so don't keep thinking about keeping your son by your side, delaying his participation in business activities will affect his career development!"

"It's not to participate in a business event, but to have fun. I went to an event secretly to see it, and went as a spectator!" Xiao Yao laughed.

Seeing that there was still a camera filming in front of him, Xiao Yao didn't get too specific. The best secrecy in this program is the singer's identity. Now at this stage, the singer's identity is no longer a secret, and the secrecy has dropped a lot. Xiao Yao was afraid that if the people in the show leaked the news to the Internet, fans would go to the e-sports carnival to block him.

"Sister Hong, is this Bayi my son or your son?" Xiao Siqi asked amusedly, "Besides, I just asked him if he would go back home, and I didn't want to tie him back to Yanjing. It's up to me, I never forced him!"

"Well, count me as talkative, don't meddle in your family affairs, I'll go!" Hong Wei rolled his eyes at Xiao Siqi, then turned his head and walked in Qin Xiaodong's direction, "Xiaodong, congratulations on entering the finals!"

Xiao Siqi, who knew Hong Wei's personality, didn't care too much about her performance. Seeing that Xiao Yao took off the microphone on his body and handed it to Shen Man, he put his arm around Xiao Yao's shoulder and walked outside the TV station, asking, "Since you want Stay in Shanghai for a while longer, so the preparations for the final will also be carried out in Shanghai, right? Yin Xi has a recording studio and practice room there, so I don’t worry about the place. Are there any candidates for singing guests? Do you need me to come forward to help? Do you contact?" Supreme Crazy Concubine: Miss Xiemei

"No need." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I haven't decided what song to sing in the final, so I don't know what kind of singing guest I am looking for. I have participated in ten episodes of the show in a row, and I just took the final exam After finishing, I decided to relax, play it for a week, and then think about the final next week. After deciding what song to sing, I will find a guest singer."

"Play for a week first, it's only three weeks in total, you really have a big heart!" Xiao Siqi laughed.

"In three weeks, play for a week first, and prepare two songs in the remaining two weeks, one song a week on average. Isn't this the same as the previous ten episodes, so it shouldn't be a problem," Xiao Yao said.

"Okay, then you can handle it yourself." Xiao Siqi said, "The song to be sung in the finals will be decided next week. If you need me to come forward to find a guest singer, just let me know and I will help you." Although Xiao Yao's last two Xiao Yao rose rapidly in 2010, but when it comes to connections in the music scene, Xiao Yao is still not as good as Xiao Siqi, who debuted for more than 20 years.

"Don't worry, you are my father! I won't be polite to you when I need your help!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile.

"Okay," Xiao Siqi nodded, and continued, "There is one more question. You have a place to record and practice songs, but what about a place to live? It's summer vacation, and you don't plan to stay in school Do you live in the dormitory?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yao was taken aback by Xiao Siqi's question, and then realized that this was really a problem.

Both Xu Liang and Qin Hao are not natives of Shanghai. They are from big cities with good family backgrounds. Even if they want to do summer jobs, they probably won't stay in Shanghai. Do you want to apply for a one-person summer dormitory? I can't decide how long I want to live, no, it's a common space for three people, and it's not easy to put many things needed for work in the dormitory during the summer vacation.

You can sleep in the office in the design studio, but it’s okay to make do with it overnight. If you live there every day, Yin Xi will probably come to make trouble soon.

There is still a vacant room where Fang Yiran and Pei Minyi live. But aside from the fact that the room is for storing his own musical instruments and manuscripts, it is not suitable to share it with two female assistants. If it gets out, especially to the reporters of the gossip media, it will definitely be troublesome.

Looking at Xiao Yao's expression, Xiao Siqi knew that he hadn't considered this issue, so he continued: "Dad will definitely not want to tie you by your side like Sister Hong. Actually, your mother and I have also discussed it. Now, since you choose to go to school in Shenxi, the focus of your work and life in the next few years will definitely be in Shencheng. Why don't you just buy a house in Shencheng. You don't want to live on campus next year, you have a place of your own , it will be easier to do anything.”

"Don't live in school anymore? Isn't that bad?" Xiao Yao hesitated.

"I know you don't want to look too special, but at least for now, you are different from your classmates. Whether you admit it or not, this is the truth!" Xiao Siqi said, "Even if you are an ordinary college student, you can't live now. There are quite a few people renting houses off-campus, let alone you? The collective life of living on-campus can be experienced for a year, and it is enough to express your attitude."

"Here, let me think about it," Xiao Yao said, "Even if you don't live in school, you don't have to buy a house. You can rent a house. The big deal is to let Minyi come forward to rent it. Even if I buy it, I still have money I really didn't think about this matter before, now that you have reminded me, I will handle it myself, so you don't have to worry about it!"

"Okay," Xiao Siqi nodded, "I just want to remind you, and I believe you will handle it well."
