Entertaining Children

Xiao Yao worked in many film crews when he was a child. When he grew up, he directed and filmed short films and V, and acted in movies and TV dramas. He was not discovered when a videographer sneaked into Hong Wei's team last year. Now he has seen two reality shows with follow-up shoots, and he has a better understanding of the position and status when working with the photographer. No problem at all.

After Jiang Kailin found out that Xiao Yao didn't come in with her, she discovered that Xiao Yao had pretended to be her follow-up photographer, but Jiang Kailin didn't expose Xiao Yao on the spot. Guessing that Xiao Yao didn't want to be exposed in front of Shazhou right now, Jiang Kailin didn't chat with Shazhou for too long, but after a polite greeting, she bid farewell to Shazhou temporarily, and returned to her lounge with her team.

After returning to the lounge, Xiao Yao returned the camera to Jiang Kailin and the videographer of the filming team, and sat in the corner of the room with a makeup case. Whenever other singers came to visit Jiang Kailin's lounge, Xiao Yao would pick up the makeup case and put it on his lap to open it, and lowered his head to fiddle with the cosmetics inside without being noticed.

One hour before the start of the recording, all the singers had arrived, and the rehearsals were all over. The staff of the program team came in and told Jiang Kailin to go down to the first floor to gather and draw lots for the order of appearance.

This time, Xiao Yao didn't pretend to go with the photographer anymore, but stayed alone in the lounge waiting for Jiang Kailin.

After a while, Jiang Kailin and Wu You came back with a follow-up team. After entering, Jiang Kailin also showed Xiao Yao the lottery number she had drawn. In this game, Jiang Kailin got the fourth place to play, which is considered a very good starting position. In addition to Jiang Kailin's own lottery pick, Wu You also told Xiao Yao the appearance picks of several other singers.

After determining the order of appearance, the singers began to make preparations for the stage. Jiang Kailin first went to the dressing room to change into her costume, then sat in front of the dressing table and asked Xiao Yao to put on makeup for her. During this period of time, no other singers came to visit, and Xiao Yao stayed peacefully until the recording started.

After the recording started, the TVs in each lounge were also turned on. Jiang Kailin was the fourth to appear on the stage. In the first two and a half performances, Xiao Yao and Jiang Kailin watched the live broadcast on TV in the lounge.

"By the way, I have watched all the previous programs of this season, and I have always had a small question in my heart." Seeing the host making the opening introduction, Xiao Yao turned his head and asked Wu You, "Why is the host of this season not called the host? It has been changed to be a speaker.”

"It's not because of you!" Wu You said with a smile, "How can there be so many first-class Mandarin singers among the singers, who can speak tongue twisters and off-script hosts? With you standing in front, other singers are embarrassed to call themselves hosts." It’s too late, so the program team changed its name to “Speaker”, otherwise I’m afraid we won’t find guests who are willing to come on stage as guest hosts.”

"Is this my fault?" Xiao Yao pointed at himself in surprise,

"The hosts in this show are all guest starred by singers! Guest hosts, who would ask them to use the standards of professional hosts?"

"You won't, netizens will!" Wu You said, "You don't care, but some people may care!"

The tradition of "Singer" is to let the singers who participate in the competition host the introduction, and this season is no exception. However, because Xiao Yao did a great job as a guest host in the season of the previous year, last year the two competing singers who played guest hosts successively were complained by netizens that the difference between their hosting skills and Xiao Yao’s was too great. Some changes have been made in this area as well. In the program before the final finals, those who were introduced by guest singers who appeared on the screen were no longer called hosts, but instead called program speakers.

"But your co-speakers this season are not the most standard mandarin among the singers this season!" Xiao Yao pointed to the TV screen.

The first guest speaker of this season is Lin Huijun, a female singer from Taiwan. Her Mandarin is relatively standard, and her accent has the unique flavor of girls in Taiwan, which can be regarded as very distinctive. At present, the seventh episode of the program has been recorded, and she has not been eliminated as a singer, so she is still the speaker for today's competition.

"It's not the host anymore, and there's no need to find the most standard mandarin!" Wu You laughed.

"Cut~ It's not at all the standard of Putonghua that is the primary consideration for you to choose guest hosts." Xiao Yao pouted, "Do netizens' comments have that much influence? Your name change is clearly a gimmick along with the program revision. , but dumped the pot on my head, you are so unkind!"

While the two were chatting, Lin Huijun on the stage finished his opening speech and began to introduce the competition song of the first singer.

"Next, we will introduce the first contestant singer. The song he will bring to you tonight has a lot to do with our show. The first time this song appeared, it was on the stage of our show. The debut time was the year before last!" Lin Huijun introduced while looking at the card in his hand.

"The first time it appeared on our show the year before last? It must be your song!" Wu You turned to look at Xiao Yao and said, "Can you guess which song it is?"

During the recording of the "Singer" program last year, the program team contacted Xiao Yao to ask for the performance copyright of his songs in order to compete as a singer. Xiao Yao has no objection to the singers covering his own songs on this show. In order to avoid too much trouble talking about each song, he simply instructed Fang to still authorize the copyright of all songs under his name to the show group. Pay for a song with a song, just pay the bill directly. Last year's "Singer" had singers covering Xiao Yao's songs, so in theory, Xiao Yao didn't know which song by Xiao Yao the first competing singer was going to sing.

"The song that suits him is probably "Li Ren"!" Xiao Yao turned to look at Wu You and said, "What I'm more concerned about is, isn't this intentionally arranged by your program team? Does he know that I'm coming today?"

The first competing singer to appear was a male singer from Taiwan, named Li Chuanze, who was in his forties this year. He was most popular more than ten years ago, and he has been relatively quiet for more than ten years, so his masterpieces are not too many. There are only three or four songs that mainland audiences are familiar with. Xiao Yao has never met him in private, but he has heard his songs and knows him. In terms of his singing style, among the songs Xiao Yao sang on "Singer" the year before last, "Li Ren" is the most suitable for him to sing, which is not difficult to guess.

What Xiao Yao is more concerned about is whether Li Chuanze sings his songs at the behest of the program group. After all, Jiang Kailin's follow-up team went to Shanghai to shoot daily highlights. Even if the program team didn't know that he would come to the "Singer" scene, they knew very early on that Jiang Kailin would sing a new song written for her by Xiao Yao. After this episode is broadcast, Xiao Yao will definitely become a topic of "Singer", and other singers singing his old songs will also be able to gain popularity. This is good for the program group and the singer himself.

"I don't know, but I don't think so." Wu You shook his head and said, "We talked about you with Ai Li and Jiang Jun just now, and they don't seem to know that you are coming. If the program team only tells you Some singers would not just tell Li Chuanze but not Mr. Shazhou, who has a better relationship with you. If Mr. Shazhou knew that you were coming, he would know that you were coming with Kailin. You shouldn’t have been there when you pretended to be a cameraman just now. It's so easy to hide."

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, feeling relieved in his heart.

It would be fine if Li Chuanze sang his songs alone. There were also singers who adapted Xiao Yao's songs in last year's "Singer". What Xiao Yao is worried about is that there will be another special concert of Xiao Yao's works on the "Singer" program, which will be the same period when he appeared on the stage of "Singer".

"Applause, please invite the first competing singer ~ "Liren"!" Lin Huijun turned her head and pointed to the back of the stage.

"It's really "Li Ren"!" Jiang Kailin clapped her hands and laughed.

"Do you know the most famous cover version of my song "Li Ren"?" Xiao Yao suddenly remembered something, and asked Jiang Kailin with a smile.

"Ah? I really don't know!" Jiang Kailin shook her head.

"All the netizens and water friends, the classmate Chen from the third class of civil engineering is fake, and the "Liren" sung by brother Li Chuanze is real!" Xiao Yao turned to look at the camera lens and said.

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Kailin asked with a puzzled look on her face, "What classmate Chen from the third class of civil engineering?"

"Some time ago there was a hot topic on the Internet. An internet anchor pretended to be a girl to rape a boy who was said to be a scumbag. As a result, the scumbag sang "Leaving People", which actually conquered the anchor and many netizens. , and some people say that classmate can sing better than me, the original singer!" Xiao Yao said, "That so-called scumbag is a student named Chen from the third class of civil engineering in a certain school. It is said that there is still a brokerage company looking for it. He signed, let him debut."

"Is there such a thing?" Both Jiang Kailin and Wu You asked, "Really?"

"What's the real thing? Internet marketing is just hype with a script!" Xiao Yao laughed, "But it's quite fun as a topic. This is already an Internet meme. After this episode is launched on the video website, In the barrage, there must be something about classmate Chen!"

While speaking, Li Chuanze had already appeared on the stage, and the band was ready. The prelude music of the song came from the TV, and everyone quieted down, focusing on Li Chuanze's performance.

Li Chuanze has made a lot of changes in the arrangement, soundtrack and performance of this song. During the performance, the whistle in Xiao Yao’s original version disappeared, and in the arrangement and soundtrack, the most distinctive saxophone accompaniment was changed to violin accompaniment. In addition, his age is quite different from Xiao Yao’s, and the timbre It is different from Xiao Yao, so the song he performed is quite different from Xiao Yao's original version, which gave the audience a different experience.

Although it is different from Xiao Yao's version, Li Chuanze's version is also very enjoyable to listen to, and the overall effect is very good.

"What a singer! You sing really steadily! It's so comfortable to listen to!" After Li Chuanze finished singing, Xiao Yao also applauded.

Li Chuanze left the stage amid the cheers of the audience, and Lin Huijun, the speaker, returned to the stage.

"Thank you Chuanze, his performance just now was really wonderful!" Lin Huijun, who returned to the stage, praised Li Chuanze's performance, and then introduced the second competing singer, "The second competing singer The singer brought a very special song to everyone. This is a two-dimensional song!"

"Two-dimensional? Teacher Shazhou?" Xiao Yao looked at the TV screen in surprise, then shook his head and said, "I can't imagine! Teacher Shazhou is getting better at playing!"

Xiao Yao knew that after Li Chuanze, his old acquaintance Shazhou was the second to appear.

"And this song is not only a two-dimensional song, it is also sung by a virtual human voice synthesized by a computer. The title of the song is "Bell Bottoms"!" Lin Huijun then introduced the situation of the song, turned her head and waved, "Let us please go down A competing singer."

"I'll go!" Xiao Yao smiled at the camera, "Mr. Shazhou, you are going to become a new generation of barrage male gods! Also, congratulations on joining the family of ghost animal stars!"

"You Duan went out to fight without a blade of grass growing! Everyone act quickly!" Xiao Yao finally said, clenched his fists.

Both worlds are the same in many ways. This world also has vlids, but the virtual singers it creates are not Hatsune Miku and Luo Tianyi, but other images and names.

"Flipped Pants" is a song by the Chinese virtual singer in this world. Bell-bottom pants were a popular symbol of China in the 1980s and 1990s. The name alone is very attractive. The lyrics of this song are very simple and interesting, and the melody is also very brainwashing. It is definitely a two-dimensional brainwashing divine song. After it was released on the barrage website last year, the song became extremely popular on the Internet and among young people. Last year, a well-known singer in the traditional entertainment circle even performed this song at Shonan Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party.

This is not the first time that this song has been covered by traditional singers, but the one who sang this song at the Shonan Satellite TV New Year's Eve party is a young female singer who is "very good at playing". Shazhou, as a more traditional male singer who is over 40 years old, his cover of this song is much more interesting than that young female singer.

As a network anchor, Xiao Yao, who has watched a lot of live barrage and is also very familiar with barrage websites, is very clear about the temperament of a certain group of netizens. No matter how Shazhou adapts this brainwashing divine song, as long as he sings this song on "Singer", his singing video will definitely appear on the barrage website at the first time, and there will definitely be countless ghost versions. Made by netizens.

"Are you trying to make Teacher Shazhou an internet celebrity?" Wu You laughed.

"Is there a generation gap between me and you?" Jiang Kailin covered her forehead and said, "Why can't I understand what you are talking about?"

"These are all internet jokes too." Wu You said to Jiang Kailin with a smile, "Xiao Yao has been an internet anchor, and the number of exchanges and interactions with netizens is not comparable to that of ordinary performing arts stars. He understands internet jokes and internet jokes There are much more than other stars in the entertainment industry. It is normal that you don’t know some things and you don’t understand some words.”

"Yeah," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I'm talking to the netizens, as long as the netizens understand what I'm talking about! You always have to find something fun to do when you come to the show. It's okay to throw out some memes and try to let them After the video of this episode was launched, it became the episode with the largest number of barrage on the video website."
