Entertaining Children

Xiao Yao is no stranger to worrying about all kinds of salty carrots in the gossip media. And now Xiao Yao has no time to express any opinions publicly, because amidst the noise from the media and netizens, Xiao Yao in Hangzhou finally ushered in the "Voice of China" top 16 competition recording.

Different from the program in the previous life, the "Voice of China" in this life adopts the form of on-site group drawing. Inside an opaque lottery box, there are sixteen small balls the size of ping-pong balls, with letters from a to d and numbers from 1 to 4 marked on them. That is to say, the sixteen students will be divided into four groups of abcd. In each group, No. 1 and No. 4, and No. 2 and No. 3 will face off in pairs. Final Four finalists.

It looks like a group draw in a football game, but it is different from the principle that teams in the same country's league can avoid being together in a football game. There is no principle that students in the same group can also avoid. Number, what is drawn is what it is. So the most extreme situation is that four students from the same mentor are drawn into a group, which ensures that at least one student from that mentor can enter the final finals. But this kind of situation is extremely rare, it didn't happen in the first three seasons, and more often, the trainees of several mentors are separated into different groups, and no mentor can guarantee that someone under him can enter the final finals.

Xiao Yao got the number b2, and seeing this number, Xiao Yao unconsciously showed a bitter face. I have nine years of elementary school and middle school, my school names are two, and my classes are all two classes. Now I participate in a competition and draw a number and get b2. How many do I have? It seems that my life cannot escape the number 2.

Seeing Xiao Yao's expression, Chen Nan came over and asked him jokingly: "Xiao Yao, what did you mean by that expression just now? Do you think you are going to eliminate another beautiful woman?" The order of Xiao Yao's draw is still relatively At the back, before him, the number b3 that will be played against has been drawn out by Xu Jingqi in Yu Qing's team. The highest value.

"That's right, why do you have that desperate expression, are we the ones who are going to cry?" Yu Qing, who was sitting on the mentor's seat beside the court, couldn't help but ask. Two of his students were drawn into Group B in the same group as Xiao Yao.

"Yu Qing, you don't have enough confidence in your students to pk Xiao Yao. You are timid before fighting, what do you make your students think?" Yi Kun challenged with a relaxed smile. None of his students were in the same group as Xiao Yao, and the other player in group b was from Chen Huan's top four team.

"Shut up! I know there are no students of yours in this group." Yu Qing said angrily to Yi Kun.

"I just think that I have a special relationship with the number two." Xiao Yao explained with a wry smile, "Nine years of elementary and middle school combined, my school name has two in it, and the class is also class two. Now participating in the competition is also a draw. When it comes to number b2, God thinks I'm so second?"

The word "two" has now developed the same meaning as Xiao Yao's previous life, so hearing Xiao Yao's words, the audience at the scene were all amused by him and laughed. Even Yu Qing, who was still upset just now, didn't hold back, and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay," Chen Nan wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and shook his head helplessly, "Then let's see how "two" you are in the meeting, and then we will continue to draw lots."

Soon, all the students drew lots, and then the pk of the official competition began. The order of the competition was the first round of pk for each group in the order of abcd. The first to sing was No. 1 and No. 4 of group A. Then go to the sidelines and wait in the position reserved for them.

Naturally, the judges of the top 16 competition could no longer be a few mentors, but the 500 spectators at the scene. After the two contestants finished singing,

First, the tutor will make a comment, and then the audience will vote with the voting device in their hands. The one with the most votes will win, and the one with the fewest votes will be eliminated.

Twenty days of adjustment and training time should be very sufficient, and it should have a great effect on the top 16 students. At least the performance of the six students in the first three pk games has improved to varying degrees compared to before. The more the audience watched, the more involved they were, and they looked forward to the performances that followed.

Because of the on-site voting and the instant announcement of the results, the results of the first three games had already been announced before Xiao Yao came on stage. One student from Yi Kun, Chen Huan, and Shen Na's team was eliminated. According to this trend, it seems that it is the turn of the students from Yu Qing's team. In addition, this is against Xiao Yao, Yu Qing will appear even more. nervous.

"Next we will have the fourth duel. The first one to show everyone is Xiao Yao who has just drawn number b2. Let us welcome Xiao Yao to play!"

"Wow~" Hearing that Xiao Yao was about to enter the stage, the audience immediately applauded more enthusiastically than before.

Seeing Xiao Yao walking straight to the stage with a microphone, Shen Na smiled and said to Qing: "This time he didn't bring an instrument on stage, you won't suspect that he didn't play an instrument and didn't know where to put it, and he couldn't sing, right? ?”

"That's all I said, and I didn't mention him," Yu Qing pouted, and then said with wide eyes, "Wait, he didn't bring a musical instrument to the stage this time, but why did he bring someone up?" , is this in line with the rules?"

At this time, Xiao Yao had already walked to the edge of the stage, and the audience also saw Xiao Yao holding a microphone in his right hand and holding a person in his left hand, a beautiful girl holding a violin in her left hand and holding a bow. Seeing this, the audience immediately clamored.

"I want to explain this," Chen Nan, who hadn't left the stage, said to the instructors and audience in the audience, "The one that Xiao Yao brought up...Of course, everyone already knows who she is without mentioning it. What I want to say is that she is Xiao Yao's musician on stage, and since she doesn't participate in the singing, it is in line with the competition rules of our show."

"Isn't this Xiao Yao's girlfriend?" Some viewers commented. At this time, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting had come from the darker area at the edge of the stage to the center of the bright stage. Although Sun Tingting lowered her head shyly, the audience could still see her face clearly.

"You can tell by the way the two of them are dressed, this is a show of affection." An audience next to them pointed to their clothes and said. Today Xiao Yao wears a white jumper, black slacks, and white sneakers, while Sun Tingting wears a black sleeveless shirt, white knee-length skirts and black high heels. Standing with Xiao Yao is the complete opposite of black and white color matching, It can be regarded as an alternative couple dress up.

"Does her girlfriend know how to play the violin?" A less well-informed audience member asked doubtfully, "This is a competition. Don't screw up Xiao Yao's performance just to get your girlfriend on stage."

"Have you not been online recently?" Someone helped to explain, "Xiao Yao posted a Chinese painting of his childhood sweetheart on Weibo, announcing his girlfriend's identity, and netizens have been gossiping about his girlfriend's information for a long time. He won the first place in the youth group of the National Violin Competition. Now some netizens and gossip media are saying that Sun Tingting is not good enough for Xiao Yao. He and Zhu Zitong are more suitable. Xiao Yao brought his girlfriend to the stage for everyone to see Are they worthy or not?" After two days of dissemination, many people in the audience already knew about the online debate about Xiao Yao's girlfriend.

"But it only took a day or two for this debate to come out. If Xiao Yao really decided to let his girlfriend take the stage temporarily because he knew the comments on the Internet, how long will it take for them to practice together? Can it work? Others But they all practiced for 20 days." Some people expressed concern.

"I'll know if it's okay or not. My childhood sweethearts have played together since I was a child. Maybe they have a tacit understanding. They can cooperate well with just a little practice." Someone beside him responded.

Chen Nan on the stage was not as concerned about the cooperation between Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting as the audience below. The reason why he stayed on stage was because he still had questions to ask Xiao Yao.

"Could you tell me if the song you're about to perform is your original song again?" Chen Nan asked Xiao Yao, "I think many people are as concerned about this issue as I am, and we don't want to ask about it later. While listening to it, I wonder if I've heard this song before."

"Well, the next song is called "Courage", which is my original song. And I want to tell everyone that all the songs I will sing on this stage in the future will be original." Xiao Yao nodded.

"Then I suggest that when Xiao Yao sings on stage in the future, his lyrics will be played on the big screen." Chen Huan suddenly said, "I am very interested in the lyrics in his songs now."

"Of course not." Chen Nan immediately refused, "Xiao Yao wants to use our show as an original song conference, that's his freedom, we can't help it, but our show can't be included in the original song show." As he said that, Chen Nan said to the audience: "By the way, I would like to remind everyone that this is a competition for singing and voice. When voting later, please ignore Xiao Yao's creative talent. It has already been affirmed, our program hopes that everyone can judge purely from the aspect of singing, so as to give you a precious vote."

"Agreed!" Yu Qing smiled and gave Chen Nan a thumbs up.

"Just from the point of view of singing, we are not in vain at all." Shen Na shrugged indifferently.

"Okay, please enjoy Xiao Yao's performance next." After Chen Nan finished speaking, she immediately stepped back from the stage.

It was not until Chen Nan stepped down that Xiao Yao released Sun Tingting's right hand. Sun Tingting took the bow of her left hand with her right hand, put the violin on her left collarbone with her left hand, and put the bow of her right hand gently on the strings. Originally, when Sun Tingting was dragged onto the stage by Xiao Yao, she seemed a little restrained and shy, but now she put the violin on her body, giving people the feeling that her whole temperament is a little different, demure and elegant. There is an aura of strong confidence.

Xiao Yao made an OK gesture to the band in the audience, looked sideways at Sun Tingting, and nodded slightly.

Seeing Xiao Yao's eyes, Sun Tingting took a light breath, moved the bow in her right hand, and a melodious violin melody sounded.

About seven or eight seconds later, the piano sound from the live band also joined in, and the sound of the violin together made this prelude more dynamic.

At the end of the prelude, Xiao Yao raised the microphone to his lips and began to sing: "I finally made this decision. I don't care what others say, as long as you are the same. I am willing to take you to the ends of the world. I know that everything is not easy. ..."

Xiao Yao sang "Courage" by Liang Jingru in her previous life. Xiao Yao also adapted the arrangement and soundtrack. In the released album version, the main soundtrack instrument of this song is the piano, and the violin does not account for a large proportion. However, after more than ten years of music study, Xiao Yao has a good ability in arranging and making music, so Xiao Yao borrowed from Liang Jingru's performance at a certain concert, and greatly strengthened the proportion of violin in the accompaniment of this song. Almost the violin runs through the entire song.

At the same time, in terms of lyrics, Xiao Yao also seems to be a bit machismo, changing "I am willing to go with you to the ends of the earth" to "I am willing to take you to the ends of the earth". Anyway, Sun Tingting also said before that if Xiao Yao is going to the North Pole and Africa, she must take her with him, which fits the revised lyrics really well.

Although the program group did not release the lyrics of Xiao Yao's song on the big screen as Chen Huan wished, everyone could easily hear the lyrics of Xiao Yao's song for such a slow-paced song. This is a heart-warming song that touches people.

The sound of the violin can infect everyone's emotions, and what is more infecting everyone is that whether it is Xiao Yao who is singing, or Sun Tingting who is playing the violin, the two of them look at each other affectionately almost throughout the whole song. There seemed to be no one else present at all. Many viewers who were still saying in their hearts that they were abusing single dogs in public, after seeing the performance of the two on the stage, had to sigh in their hearts: "This is the golden boy and the jade girl. Yilian, let us finish this bowl of dog food!"

"I can feel you when the crowd is crowded. Put it in my hand, your sincerity..." At the end of the song, Xiao Yao also extended his hand to Sun Tingting again, and after Sun Tingting played the last note of the song, He also naturally handed over the bow to his left hand, and put his right hand into Xiao Yao's palm.

At the end of the song, the audience applauded vigorously. This time, there were not many screams and cheers. The camera lens on the scene swept towards the auditorium, and found that many audience members were moved by Xiao Yao's song just now, and many of them secretly wiped the corners of their eyes.
