Entertaining Children

"Then what if we ask for harmony?" Samien suddenly asked in Chinese. ． update the fastest

"I said I sang a Chinese song," Xiao Yao replied, suddenly realized something was wrong, and exclaimed in Chinese, "Damn it! You can speak Chinese?"

"We all know it!" Dean patted Xiao Yao, smiled and said in Chinese, "We all took Chinese courses after entering the university. Are you surprised or surprised?" Obviously they are not just studying in class, I must have visited Huaxia's website, and I even know the popular Internet terms in Huaxia.

"You guys!" Xiao Yao gave a thumbs up. No matter which world, for foreigners, Chinese is definitely one of the most difficult languages ​​to learn.

"Sammy's Chinese is the best!" Mike pointed at Sami En and said, "We all started learning Chinese in the first year of college. She entered college a year earlier than us, and learned a year longer than us."

"Start learning when you enter university?" Xiao Yao said, "You already knew how to speak it during last summer vacation. Why didn't you hear it when you were in the United States last summer vacation?"

"Not long after we met that time, three police officers came to arrest Tiana, and then all your attention was on her. Do you still care if I can speak Chinese?" Samien said. pouted.

"That's right!" Thinking of what happened last summer vacation, Xiao Yao scratched his hair with some emotion.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Samien asked again, still in Chinese.

Xiao Yao didn't care about her punctuation problem, and said with a smile, "Of course there is no problem. Guests like you are hard to find, but I can sing a lot of songs. I can just change to a song with the harmony of the band members. Of course, it’s still a Chinese song, anyway, you all know Chinese.”

The song Xiao Yao originally planned to sing in the second round of the "Singer" finals was "Broad Sea and Sky" by the "Xin Orchestra" in his previous life. Although it was a rock song, the soundtrack of the first verse was very simple. The sound of the acoustic guitar, and the accompaniment of other instruments such as drums in the chorus. Of course, there is no problem when Xiao Yao plays alone, but since he brought the "immortals" weapon over there, it is a bit inappropriate for them to stand for so long. Now that Samion said he wanted to sing harmony, Xiao Yao decided to change to a song that could better reflect the band as a whole.

After discussing this point, everyone decided to participate in the "Singer" finals. Just when Ye Jiaying came up to inform that lunch was ready and told everyone to go down to eat, Xiao Yao took the four of them out of his room and went downstairs to the restaurant.

During this meal, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying also fully demonstrated the hospitable character and enthusiasm of the Chinese people. A meal for seven people,

There were more than a dozen dishes on the table. Considering that several young people are from the United States, the dishes are still a mixture of Chinese and Western, including traditional Chinese food, as well as common western salads, pasta, steak, mashed potatoes and other foods.

During the dinner, Ye Jiaying was obviously more enthusiastic towards Samien, a beautiful girl who praised her beauty. Not only did the parents chat more shortly, but also greeted her to eat, and helped her take food more times than the three boys. So much, Xiao Siqi couldn't help laughing and teasing in Chinese: "Your son has a girlfriend now, don't you still miss this American daughter-in-law?"

What Xiao Siqi said was that when they watched the live broadcast of "immortals" performance at the Oscars on TV, after the camera swept across Samien, Ye Jiaying once marveled at the beauty of this girl, and then asked Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao Will you bring a foreign girlfriend back and obviously refer to her.

"Huh?" Hearing Xiao Siqi's words, the three boys looked over in surprise. Samien looked embarrassed, and immediately looked at Xiao Yao with complicated eyes.

"Dad, they all understand Chinese!" Xiao Yao said with a helpless wry smile, "Also, it's impolite to speak a language they don't understand in front of foreign friends."

"Oh, let me go, why are these words so illogical?" Xiao Yao then laughed at himself.

"It's just a joke!" Xiao Siqi smiled awkwardly, addressed the others in English, and casually gave Xiao Yao a look.

Both Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying's English is very good. Although not as good as Xiao Yao's, there is no problem with general conversations, so since meeting several members of the "immortals" band, they have always communicated in English. Neither Xiao Siqi nor Ye Jiaying thought that these young Americans could actually understand Chinese, and Xiao Yao never mentioned it to them before.

"I didn't teach them Chinese when I was in the United States. They learned it after they went to college, and I just learned about it." Xiao Yao understood the meaning of Xiao Siqi's stare at him, and spread his hands, "I'm very glad that I didn't use Chinese after meeting. I said bad things about them." Han Dingshi (Korean Entertainment's My Chairman)

"Bad things? What bad things can you say about us?" Dean asked curiously.

"You don't want to know. Few people can bear this guy's venomous tongue!" Xiao Siqi switched back to English and changed the subject, "How long will you stay in China this time? Do you have any plans where to go?"

"About half a month," Dean replied, "we have no plans, we listen to Yang's arrangement. But we don't seem to have much time and opportunities to play. He said he would take us to Shanghai to rehearse, and then to a TV show to fight you."

"A TV show? "Singer"? Are you going to be his guest? Do you want to sing with him?" Ye Jiaying immediately asked a series of questions.

"We are guests, but we are just musicians and backing vocals, and he is a single lead singer," Dean replied.

"Hey! Dean!" Xiao Yao interrupted, "The two in front of you are our opponents, you shouldn't tell them my plan!"

"Both of them? You just said that your father is your opponent, and that the contestants on that show are professional singers, while your mother is an actress." Dean asked curiously.

"My mother can also sing, and guests can be invited to help in that show." Xiao Yao said, "My father is a contestant, and my mother is my father's guest, to help him. Just like you are going to help Same as mine!"

"It's different, right?" Xiao Siqi looked at Xiao Yao with a smile and said, "You should have at least one other guest, right? The song Immortals performed at the Oscars was in the form of dual lead singers. At first Xiao Siqi thought that Xiao Yao would He sang with Dean, but he could tell from what Dean said about the single lead singer just now that "immortals" was not Xiao Yao's supporting singer, but was reserved for the second round of solo.

"Is there another guest? Immortals" all four people looked at Xiao Yao.

"Yes," Xiao Yao admitted with a nod, "There are two rounds in total in this final. In the first round, each of the seven contestants finds a guest to sing as a chorus, and the audience votes to eliminate one contestant. The remaining six singers enter the second round Perform a solo, and combine the results of the two rounds of voting to determine the final ranking. You are my trump card, and of course you will stay in the second round to play. You don’t think I can’t even pass the first round, do you?”

It is not unreasonable for Xiao Yao to be so confident. Even because of his age, "Singer" is unlikely to give him the championship, but as the most topical contestant on "Singer", and no matter how well he sings, almost every performance of his is the best in the current period. It was an interesting performance, he didn't believe that the show crew would let him not even enter the second round.

The Xiao family's villa has enough rooms, and with the fact that they are flying to Shanghai tomorrow, Xiao Yao is too lazy to book a hotel for them. After discussing with Ye Jiaying, he arranged for the four friends to stay at his home for one night. After lunch, Xiao Yao wanted the four of them to rest and adjust the time difference. But all four of them said that they slept well on the plane and were in good spirits. They didn't need to rest to adjust the jet lag at all, so they asked Xiao Yao to take them out to play happily.

Although this world does not have the very famous poem "If you don't reach the Great Wall, you are not a hero", the "Great Wall" is still one of the miracles that foreigners have the deepest impression on China. Now that he is in Yanjing, Xiao Yao took the four of them to climb the Great Wall.

The temperature at the beginning of July was already quite high, and this day happened to be cloudless again. Climbing the Great Wall under the scorching sun in the afternoon completely wiped out the physical strength, energy and enthusiasm of the four of them. When they got back to Xiao's house, the few of them had dinner, took a shower, and fell directly on the bed. As for the previously discussed activities such as asking Xiao Yao to take pictures of them in the small studio of Xiao Yao’s house, and going to the recording studio in the basement to play musical instruments and record other activities, the four of them also threw them to Java.

The next day, Xiao Yao flew to Shanghai with the four of them. Xiao Yao's rented place must not be able to accommodate the four of them. Pei Minyi, who had heard the news a long time ago, booked a hotel for the four of them in advance. After getting off the plane, Xiao Yao sent the four of them to the hotel to arrange their luggage, and then took the four of them to Yin's studio.

When they visited Xiao Yao’s home yesterday, the four friends were already surprised enough, but when they saw that Xiao Yao still had such a studio in Shanghai, the four of them felt that Xiao Yao’s studio and recording studio were not the same. nothing.

Although Xiao Yao said that this studio is not his, and that he only owns half of one of the design studios and the right to manage and use a recording studio, the lady at the front desk and the dozen or so designers in the office area shouted They can understand the word "Mr. Xiao" in the office, and there is also a nameplate of "Design Director" in Chinese and English on the door of the large office on the second floor of the design studio. Married to Concubine Xiao, the prince is hard to resist

"It's no wonder that Keith's invitation to go to the United States has been rejected several times. If I have such a place in China, I don't want to go anywhere." Dean couldn't help but muttered in a low voice.

Xiao Yao did not take them to visit the recording studio, but took them to the design studio first, not just for showing off. When they first appeared on the Oscar stage, they were a high school student band, and they were also very pink newcomers. They performed in their own clothes to highlight their rustic true colors. Now that they're a star band, it wouldn't be appropriate to wear their own clothes to a show.

Moreover, the "Singer" final stage is such a high-profile occasion, and "Immortals" is such a famous band, how could Xiao Yao miss such a good opportunity to promote his brand. Xiao Yao brought them here to prepare costumes for them. But this time Xiao Yao didn't plan to do it himself, but was going to hand over the work of designing styles for them to the designers in the studio, so he naturally wanted to bring them over for the designers to have a look at.

In the design studio, the members of "Immortals" unexpectedly met an acquaintance, that is Rick McCullin who works here. The members of "immortals" went to the rehearsals and competitions of the "Torrent" dance troupe with Xiao Yao more than once, and they knew many people in the dance troupe. The band members are also familiar with this guy who tinkered with lighting costumes with Xiao Yao.

In the words of the Chinese people, they can be regarded as "meeting old acquaintances in a foreign land", so the few Americans who accidentally met on the land of Huaxia were also very happy, so Xiao Yao took advantage of the opportunity to design and produce the costumes of the four people. Handed it over to Rick.

After visiting the design studio and letting the designers measure the body data of the four, Xiao Yao took the four of them to the annex building where the recording studio is located for a visit. Just in time, Hong Xiuyan came to the recording studio to practice. Xiao Yao introduced the two parties again.

Hong Xiuyan knew this student band who had performed on the Oscar stage, and also knew their relationship with Xiao Yao, so she was very polite and enthusiastic towards them. But the band members didn't know Hong Soo-yeon, and only after hearing Xiao Yao's introduction did they know that the beauty in front of her was a Korean multi-dwelling female star who is relatively famous in Korea and China. In addition, there is also a certain age gap between the two parties, so there is a certain amount of politeness. Yes, but in terms of enthusiasm, it is obviously not as good as Hong Xiuyan treats them.

Xiao Yao planned to practice the first round of chorus songs with Hong Xiuyan before starting to practice with the band members, so after showing the band members around and introducing Hong Xiuyan to the band members, Xiao Yao ordered Pei Minyi Take the four little friends of the band to Shanghai for a stroll and have fun, and I plan to practice with Hong Xiuyan as planned.

But after the four band members visited Xiao Yao's recording studio, they lost interest in going out to play, and asked Xiao Yao for the score of the second round of solo songs in the final. Based on the understanding they had spent together in Calabasas for a year, they knew that Xiao Yao's musical instrument level and musical literacy were much higher than the few of them. In order not to hold him back, they decided to practice in advance. Anyway, there are all kinds of musical instruments here, and there is not only one practice room, and it will not affect Xiao Yao if they find another practice room to practice playing instruments.

Hearing that the four friends wanted to practice in advance, Xiao Yao naturally wished for it, and immediately wrote them the music scores for each instrument in that song. Anyway, that song is also a song from a previous life, and the arrangement has already been made by him. In his mind, it only takes ten minutes to write it on the spot, which is not a problem for him at all. Although they changed their minds and didn't go out to play, Xiao Yao arranged for Pei Minyi to accompany them. Here, if they have any needs or encounter any problems, Pei Minyi can basically solve them.

In the next few days, Xiao Yao's life became routine. Rest in the morning, take the band members to the recording studio in the afternoon, practice with Hong Xiuyan, and the band goes to another room to practice their own. During the break, I ran to the next room to listen to the band's practice effect, and if I have any questions, I can give you guidance by the way. In the evening, I take the band members out to play and visit Shanghai, an international metropolis.

When Xiao Yao participated in the previous episodes of "Singer", he went to school and recorded pure music. He also filmed mvs, recorded other songs, and did many other things. The preparation time for each song was calculated to be In less than a week, this time because the two songs are co-authored with others, the preparation time reserved is longer.

Although Hong Xiuyan is a multi-habit star, she first debuted as a singer. Not only is her singing skills online, but she also has rich experience in singing and cooperating with others. "Immortals" has only a few simple harmonies, mainly instrumental performances, and a "dumb bird flies first" action. Therefore, the efficiency and progress of the joint practice between the two groups of guests and Xiao Yao exceeded Xiao Yao's expectations. Originally planned to practice two songs in two weeks, but after a week, Xiao Yao felt that he had almost practiced both songs. For the "Singer" finals, it seems to be ready.
