Entertaining Children

"Speaking of "Singer," Ke Jun looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Xiao Yao, you have launched an advertisement, and you have rested for a while, now it's time to show us your real skills, come on stage?"

"Okay," Xiao Yao nodded, and then spread his hands, "But my suitcase is full of gifts, and there is only a backpack. I didn't bring any musical instruments here today."

"It's okay, he has it!" Luo Chongwen pointed to Qiu Zhihao and said.

"I still have an electronic organ and a guitar here, which one do you want?" Qiu Zhihao asked.

"Take it out, he knows it all!" Ke Jun said to Qiu Zhihao.

"Okay!" Qiu Zhihao got up and went upstairs to take down both his electronic organ and acoustic guitar, and asked Xiao Yao, "Which one do you want?"

"Guitar!" Xiao Yao got up and took the acoustic guitar from Qiu Zhihao's hand, sat down on the carpet again, stretched out his hand and lightly plucked a few strings, and tried to test the sound.

"What do you want to hear?" Xiao Yao finished the sound trial and asked everyone while holding the guitar.

"Can you order songs?" Zhou Wenpei said to Xiao Yao who was holding the guitar.

"Of course!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, "As long as I can do it!"

"Chengdu," Zhou Wenpei said, "I really like that song, and Xia Lan is from Rongcheng, so I should like it too."

"Just sing "Chengdu", I like it!" Xia Lan clapped her hands in agreement.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded, plucked the strings, and played the prelude to the song.

"With me, walk around the streets of Chengdu, oh~ until all the lights are off, don't stay~ You will hold my sleeves, I will put my hands in my trouser pockets, and walk to the end of Yulin Road , sitting at the door of the tavern~"

It has been almost two years since this song came out, and two of you here are still familiar with it. When Xiao Yao sang the chorus part, Xia Lan and Ke Jun couldn't help but sang along in a low voice. However, the two of them were not that familiar with the lyrics, they just sang along to the chorus, and stopped singing the second verse.

Xia Lan also debuted in a talent show back then, and she also worked as a singer in the early days, and she sang very well. During the second verse, Xiao Yao looked at Ke Jun and made a gesture, and Ke Jun immediately nodded knowingly.

When it came to the second chorus, both Xiao Yao and Ke Jun stopped singing, and only Xiao Yao's guitar and Xia Lan's singing remained on the scene. Xia Lan was stunned by this situation, but when she saw Xiao Yao and Ke Jun's encouraging eyes, she continued to sing.

After the second chorus, the song uses the first two lines of the chorus as a transition, followed by a full chorus, and finally ends with the first two lines of the chorus again. Xiao Yao sang the transitional two lines by himself, and Xia Lan's singing started again when the third complete chorus was played, and Xiao Yao lowered the volume to help her sing the harmony.

After the third complete chorus, Xiao Yao and Xia Lan stopped singing, and Xiao Yao's hand playing the guitar also stopped, and everyone thought the song was over. In the second half of the song, the cooperation between Xiao Yao and Xia Lan was quite tacit and wonderful. Just when everyone stretched out their hands to applaud the two, Xiao Yao played the guitar and sang the last part of the song. Two sentences.

"Walk with me~ on the streets of Chengdu, oh~ until all the lights are off, don't stay~"

In the last two sentences, Xiao Yao sang by imitating the "milk flavor" of a child's voice, and even the facial expressions and movements when singing were replaced by the shaking of the head of a child.

"Haha~"

As soon as the voice came out, the people who were originally full of admiration and intoxication broke down in an instant, laughing and laying down on the table or the carpet.

"What the hell are these last two sentences?!" Ke Jun patted the carpet and shouted.

"I'm being brought back to the tavern on Yulin Road by this song, and it's happening in an instant!" Xia Lan also said with a smile.

"The original version of this song is like this," Xiao Yao said with an innocent face, "The last two lines were originally children's voices."

"Okay!" After laughing, Ke Jun still took the lead in applauding, "Although the last one made a lot of fun for us,

But the performance of this song is still amazing! "

"Great!" The others also applauded.

"Thank you," Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, then raised his hands and applauded in Xia Lan's direction, "Sister Lan sings really well too!"

"No, no," Xia Lan waved her hands, "Xiao Yao's singing is better, and the main thing is Xiao Yao's guitar playing!"

"Have these two started bragging about each other's business?" Ke Jun laughed.

"No, to be honest, Xiao Yao is really good at playing the guitar." Xia Lan emphasized, and then sighed, "Actually, I feel that learning an instrument is very difficult. I started learning the violin when I was seven years old. I learned it, but I can’t stick to it, it feels too difficult.”

"I started learning the violin when I was five years old, and I started learning the piano when I was seven!" Qiu Zhihao interjected.

"Then did your parents force you to practice piano when you were young?" Xia Lan asked.

"Yes." Qiu Zhihao nodded, "Should have all of them, right?"

"You know the kind of tapes we used to listen to when we were young, right?" Xia Lan asked suddenly.

"I know!" Luo Chongwen, Ke Jun, Zhou Wenpei and Xiao Yao nodded together.

"You know too?" Seeing Xiao Yao nodding, Xia Lan said in surprise, "You should have started listening to CDs when you were sensible, right?"

"I have them at home, my dad has a lot of tapes!" Xiao Yao explained.

"Oh!" Xia Lan nodded, and continued, "I'll tell you how my mother forced me to practice the piano when I was a child. When I was in primary school, there was a year of summer vacation, and my mother stipulated that I had to practice two times a day every afternoon. At that time, my parents had to go to work, and I was alone at home. My mother was afraid that I would not be at home to practice the piano, so she sneaked out to play, so she asked me to record the sound of the practice with a tape recorder. She asked me to record both sides of a blank tape, and then she would listen to it when they got back from work to check if I was practicing properly!"

"This method is good!" Luo Chongwen laughed, "The two sides of the tape seem to add up to about two hours!"

"Wow, your mother's method is absolutely amazing!" Ke Jun also laughed.

"How did your parents force you to practice piano when you were young?" Luo Chongwen asked Qiu Zhihao again, "Is there anything interesting?"

"My mother doesn't have a job, so she supervises my piano practice at home." Qiu Zhihao said, "Actually, my mother doesn't understand music, as long as she hears me playing the piano. I practice in my room, and she makes her own music outside. Things, but the door of my room must be opened so that she can hear the sound of me practicing the piano. As long as there is no sound of the piano coming out of my room, she will come in and let me not be lazy. "

"Then you should use Xia Lan's mother's method to deal with your mother." Luo Chongwen said with a smile, "You record the sound of yourself practicing the piano and play it in your room. Your mother will not come in to check if she hears the sound. , you can be lazy."

"Ah?" Qiu Zhihao was speechless for a while.

"It's a good idea!" Everyone else laughed.

"This method should be useless to Xiao Yao." Ke Jun said, "Xiao Yao's musical instrument should be learned from his father. Whether he is practicing or lazily playing music will definitely be able to tell immediately."

"Then how did your father force you to learn an instrument?" Xia Lan asked Xiao Yao.

"My dad didn't force me very much," Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled, "There is no daily practice time, nor is there supervision. I practice all by myself."

"Are you so conscious?" Ke Jun smiled.

"Because I want to learn the musical instrument myself." Xiao Yao said. "I started learning musical instruments when I was less than four years old. In addition to learning the electronic organ and piano, I also wanted to learn the guitar. But at that time I was small and the guitar was too big, so I couldn't learn it. My dad He told me to teach me when I grew up. Later, I saw the ukulele on TV, and thought that this instrument was very similar to a guitar. My dad hadn’t played the ukulele before, and when he heard that I wanted to learn it, he bought it back to teach himself, and then taught me after he learned it. He’s already like this, so I’m ashamed not to practice hard.”

"Knowing this at such a young age, it's really not ordinary sensible." Ke Jun commented with a smile.

"What about Wen Pei, what were you like when you were a child?" Luo Chongwen asked Zhou Wenpei.

"Me, I was a wild child when I was a child. I didn't seem to do anything else except play!" Zhou Wenpei laughed. Later, my family didn’t care much about me, and they didn’t ask me to learn musical instruments or take other interest classes. As soon as I got home, I was herding sheep, playing wildly with a group of children, climbing trees and so on. , I used to fight with boys when I was a child!"

"Really?" Ke Jun asked in surprise, "Now that you are such a lady, I can't even imagine it!"

"How wonderful!" Xia Lan lay on the table, looked at Zhou Wenpei enviously and said, "Your childhood must have been much happier than the three of us who practiced piano since childhood!"

"Sister Lan, just say you're fine, don't take me with you!" Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I also had a very happy childhood, and I did a lot of things like climbing trees and picking out bird eggs."

"How is it possible?" Xia Lan straightened up and looked at Xiao Yao and said, "I heard that you not only learned musical instruments when you were young, but also learned calligraphy, painting and martial arts. How can you have time to go out and have fun? And with your background and In the living environment, there should be no place to climb trees and dig out bird eggs, right?"

"Before I went to elementary school, I often lived with my grandfather. My grandfather lived in the old alley of Yanjing. I never went to kindergarten when I was a child. When other children were in kindergarten, I was learning calligraphy and painting, and other children were out of school. , I’ll just go out and have fun.” Xiao Yao laughed.

"The day before last year of "Singer" there was an episode of daily highlights that he took the film crew to the old alley where Mr. Xiao lived. I also told Teacher Li Zhenyi that he was a playboy in the alley, and it really looks like that!"

"Oh," Xia Lan sighed again, leaning on the table again, "this person is really maddening to compare himself to others!"

"Look, you stimulated Xia Lan," Ke Jun said to Xiao Yao, "Hurry up and make up for it with another song!"

"Okay, then sing a new song this time." Xiao Yao smiled.

"New song?" Everyone's eyes lit up, Xia Lan sat up again, and asked expectantly, "Is it the one that hasn't been released yet?"

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "The name of the song is "Childhood". Don't you think that you were not very happy when you were a child, and you have some regrets? Then feel the childhood of ordinary people from this song. .”

"Are you trying to provoke me again?" Xia Lan stared.

"Hehe~" Everyone laughed.

"Okay!" After laughing, Ke Jun raised his head and reported to the camera, "Next, Xiao Yao will bring you his original new song "Childhood"! The audience is blessed, they have encountered Xiao Yao's new song title play!"

After Ke Jun announced the curtain call, Xiao Yao plucked the strings of the guitar and played the prelude to the song.

The fresh acoustic guitar sounded, and the joyous atmosphere quickly dissipated, and the expression on Xia Lan's face, who had been staring at Xiao Yao just now, softened.

"Chasing the sunset with bare feet beside the railway ~ Hero card in a glass bead iron box ~ Playing with rubber bands to hide under the stone bridge ~ Grandma sits on the courtyard dam with her shoes ~ Ginkgo flowers in the basket in front of the iron gate ~ There is a thatched house to live ~ Playing around on the road after school Hee-hop~ Water rushes between the ridges~"

After a prelude, Xiao Yao's soft singing sounded.

The melody of the previous section sounds relatively simple, and the accompaniment is the two repetitions of the four guitar chords in the prelude, but this folk-style melody coupled with Xiao Yao's soft singing voice is still very pleasant.

More importantly, the lyrics of this song are very graphic. The rhythm of the song is not fast, and Xiao Yao's enunciation is very clear. After singing this passage, everyone felt as if a few childhood pictures appeared in front of their eyes, and they were immediately attracted.

"We grow up day by day~ In the sweet dream, the big white rabbit has sticky teeth~ I also fantasize about fairy scientists~ A simple picture of mud stains on the white wall~ We just grow up every day~ Four seasons pass and old phoenix trees sprout~There are treasures and towers in the sand~Long bench build a home~"

The accompaniment of the second stanza of the song didn't change much, but the tone of Xiao Yao's singing has improved a bit, and it seems to have entered the chorus part of the song. In addition to the description at the beginning of the first and second half of the paragraph, the last three sentences are still very graphic lyrics, which further reminded everyone of their childhood days.

"It's really good!" From here, Luo Chongwen has already felt the difference of this song, and couldn't help nodding his head and sighed softly.

"Days are so slow~ The pond is full of leaves and moving to a new house~ Twenty-inch color TV leather sofa~ 5:30 big windmill animation~ After dinner enjoy the cool starry night~ Fireflies breeze crescent~ Adults talk about things you don't understand~ Ghosts hide Under the bed~"

The third stanza of the song is exactly the same as the first stanza in terms of tune, but eight completely different lyrics bring eight different pictures to everyone. Especially when they heard the fourth sentence, the others couldn't help smiling and looked at Ke Jun, while Ke Jun looked at Xiao Yao with complicated eyes.

Xiao Yao sensed Ke Jun's gaze, nodded with a smile, and continued singing.

"We grow up day by day~ The rain never stops in my memory~ The summer vacation is over while the cicadas are buzzing~ It's time to cut our hair in the new school year~ We grow up day by day~ We also start to look forward to and change~I thought I was so great~I wrote a poem I dare not hand it to her~"

When this passage was sung, everyone's eyes had left Ke Jun, and they followed the song to recall childhood scenes.

"We grow up day by day~ Listening to the tape and meeting under the banyan tree~White shirt dusk acoustic guitar~Young and inexperienced cheeks~

After the second chorus, Xiao Yao took another half of the chorus, and the next four lines still have different lyrics and different images.

"Huh~ woohoo~"

After that, Xiao Yao hummed again. Although there are no lyrics, everyone seems to be in the mood of this song, reminiscing about the childhood pictures they just recalled.

"I thought I was so great~ I didn't dare to hand it to her after I wrote a poem~"

After humming, the next two lines basically repeat the last two lines of the second chorus, except that "zeng" is changed to "return". This is the first time that similar lyrics appear in a song, but the difference is only one word, which also gives people a feeling of different moods and emotions.

"Woo~ Xiao Xiaoshi dare not hand it to her~"

Finally, after another sentence with similar lyrics but different feelings, Xiao Yao played the last few notes, ending the performance of the whole song.

"Good!" After the last note dissipated, everyone present applauded and cheered.

"The lyrics are so well written," Luo Chongwen first commented, "It's full of childhood memories when I listen to it!"

"Yes, many of them are memories of our post-80s generation!" Zhou Wenpei nodded.

"My post-70s listener is full of memories!" Ke Jun also said with red eyes.

"You are a person in the late 1990s, who is close to the post-00s, and the song "Childhood" written by you can still resonate with the post-70s and 80s. It reminds us of our childhood," Xia Lan shook her head and sighed. , "Your childhood was really different!"
