Entertaining Children

The temporary program that invited Gong Chen was called "Masked Singer", which is similar to the previous "Masked Singer" and "Masked Singer Guess Guess". The rule is that the singer wears a mask to sing, and then the guests of the guessing group and the audience will guess who the singer is.

There will be six singers appearing in each program. After the first round, they will be divided into three groups for two-two chorus, and each singer will perform a solo again. Afterwards, the guests of the on-site guessing group guessed two names for the audience to choose. If the majority of the audience chooses correctly, the singers will take off their masks on the spot, and they will leave the show when they reveal their true faces. If the guessing guest fails to guess the singer's name or most of the viewers make a wrong choice, the singer can keep the mask and continue to participate in the next episode of the show. So if you want to stay in the show for a long time, the important thing is not to sing the best, but to hide your original voice as much as possible.

The fun of this program is actually more attractive than the music, and Xiao Yao is not completely uninterested. In the past, it was mainly due to lack of time. Although he has the opportunity to participate in the first phase now, Xiao Yao still has no plans to be the singer who fills in halfway.

After more than ten years of practice, Xiao Yao feels that the plasticity of his voice is still very strong. The released album includes rock, folk, rap, lyrical, and even opera and other styles of songs, which means that there are quite a lot of genres he can control. Xiao Yao is confident that if he participates in that show, he can sing different feelings in each song, and he can completely distract the guests of the guessing group, and at least he can stay in it for three or four episodes and sing a song It took six or seven songs to be recognized.

If he really hides and sings, the guests and audience will not be able to guess, and he will have no time to continue participating later. If he took the initiative to reveal his face and left after participating in the first session, Xiao Yao felt unwilling again. So when faced with another invitation from the program group, Xiao Yao still refused.

But even though he refused to be a replacement singer for the show, Xiao Yao still has some interest in the show. It happened that there was nothing to do during the May Day holiday, so Xiao Yao decided to participate in the show with another identity.

This is a program in which a singer sings in a mask and asks the audience to guess their identity. Before the singer took off the mask and left, the singers wore masks all the time whether they were singing on stage or waiting in the backstage lounge. So the masks worn by the singers have become a highlight of the show. In order to stand out in the show, the singers have also spent a lot of thought on the masks, and some singers even invited professional fashion designers to design and make masks for them to wear in the show.

As a newcomer, Gong Chen doesn't have any resources in the fashion industry, so she doesn't get such good treatment. Fortunately, she met Xiao Yao who just happened to be free, and Xiao Yao who also happened to want to go to that show. Yao took the initiative to take over the work of Gong Chen's personal styling and mask design, and acted as Gong Chen's personal stylist. The program will also broadcast some pictures of the singers waiting in the lounge. In order to prevent the audience from guessing the identity of the singer by recognizing the team members accompanying the singer, the private team members brought by the singer must also wear masks throughout the process. Haruka was just in time for another sneaky trick.

Since both Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao declined the invitation to be replacement singers,

The program team also selected another new singer from the list of candidate singers to be a replacement singer with Gong Chen. Since this new female singer, like Gong Chen, has both good looks and good singing skills, and her singing style is very different, the program team also arranged the two together in the first chorus segment.

Since it is a chorus, whether it is the choice of singing repertoire, the arrangement and soundtrack of the live performance, and the distribution of the aria, it is necessary for the two singers and their teams to discuss and decide together. In view of the fact that Gong Chen had a lot of itinerary some time ago, and people were working hard, Xiao Siqi, the boss, has a good temper and humor, and the environment and atmosphere in the studio are more relaxed than that of a big company. So the singer who sang with Gong Chen in the first round, after receiving the notice from the program group, brought his personal team to Qi Jia's studio to discuss with Gong Chen about the first round of chorus songs.

When the singer came to the door, Xiao Yao and Gong Chen happened to be discussing the design of masks and costumes in a studio. When the singer knocked on the door and entered the studio led by the staff, Xiao Yao was a little surprised that the new female singer who sang with Gong Chen was actually an old acquaintance of his.

"Xu Yuan, it's you. Long time no see." When she looked up and saw that the female singer who entered the door turned out to be Xu Yuan, who had a PK with her on the stage of "The Voice" last year, she was the first to greet her with a smile.

"Xiao Yao, long time no see." Xu Yuan responded to Xiao Yao with a smile, "You monster is getting more and more monster. Congratulations on winning the Gold Disc Award and the first prize in the art exam. Although I sent you a congratulatory message, but Now that we've met, I think it's better to say it in person. Niu!" After speaking, Xu Yuan gave Xiao Yao a thumbs up.

"Hello Xu Yuan, I'm Gong Chen, I've heard your song before, it's very powerful, it's great!" Gong Chen knew that Xu Yuan was the singer who sang with him, so he came forward to greet him with a smile.

"Hi, I've heard your song too." Xu Yuan smiled and shook hands with Gong Chen who met him for the first time, "Your voice is really nice, and of course you sing very well. But I'd rather What envies you is the songs you sing, most of which are written by this guy." Xu Yuan pointed to Xiao Yao beside him.

"Not most of them, but all of them!" Gong Chen said silently in his heart. Now Gong Chen has only five original songs in addition to some early cover songs and the adapted songs of the first episode of the electronic music program. It is the ending song of the TV series signed by Xiao Yao with XY. Xu Yuan, who didn't know XY's true identity, obviously only counted four songs, but Gong Chen already knew that XY belonged to Xiao Yao.

"Speaking of which," Xu Yuan turned to Xiao Yao and said, "Xiao Yao, write me a song sometime. You don't just write songs for singers signed to your studio, do you? You write for Gong Chen Those four songs were all written for her before she signed with your studio."

"This...Let's talk about it later." Xiao Yao scratched his head and changed the topic, "Aren't you here today for the chorus? It's more important to get down to business first."

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now," Xu Yuan looked at Xiao Yao and said, "After the chorus songs are discussed, I will treat you to dinner in the evening, and I will also invite Fan Fan. I saw her. I ask you to write a song, and we will talk about it at dinner tonight."

Fan Linxuan and Xu Yuan were both students of Chen Huan's team in "The Voice" at the beginning, and they were teammates. The two of similar ages were also very close after they met, and they have been in touch since "The Voice". Part of the reason why Xu Yuan took the initiative to come to Qi Jia's studio was because he wanted to take the opportunity to meet two old acquaintances, Xiao Yao and Fan Linxuan. Seeing Xiao Yao was inviting songs for reminiscing about the past, while seeing Fan Linxuan was simply chatting about reminiscing about the past between the sisters.

"Okay." Xiao Yao nodded and smiled, "Fan Linxuan has a business event today, and she's not here now, but she should be free tonight. I'll call her later."

"Hey, you know Fan Fan's itinerary very well." Xu Yuan laughed.

"Of course, I'm still a small boss. Of course, the whereabouts of the generals under me must be monitored at any time." Xiao Yao said boldly.

"Okay, you're amazing. Let's talk about the chorus." Xu Yuan gave Xiao Yao a thumbs up again, turned to Gong Chen and started talking, "Gong Chen, do you have any thoughts on the song? Huh... What is this? The sheet music of your candidate song?" Xu Yuan found a few blank sheets of paper scattered on the table in front of Gong Chen who was sitting back at the table.

"No, this is the concept drawing of my costume and mask design drawn by Xiao Yao." Gong Chen replied with a smile.

"Xiao Yao? You can also design costumes and masks?" Xu Yuan looked at Xiao Yao in surprise and said.

"I can't talk about costume design, but I'm also a photographer. I have some experience in costume styling and costume matching." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "When Chen Yuhan and I sang together in the show, her outfit I helped her get the costumes and accessories, don’t you remember? I am now an image designer in Gong Chen’s private team for that show, and I am in charge of her mask and costumes.”

Xiao Yao is not really a fashion designer. But as a photographer, Xiao Yao has worked with quite a few designers, and he has also seen what the conceptual drawings of fashion design look like. It is not difficult for Xiao Yao, who has good drawing skills, to draw a picture. There are many classic fashion costumes and styles that I have seen in previous and present lives. Xiao Yaodong put together some of his own understanding and ideas. So far, many girls have designed the styles and costumes for performances. Still pretty good. In this show, the audience can't see the singer's face, except for the mask, they look at the clothes. Since Xiao Yao has taken on the task of designing the mask, he also handles Gong Chen's performance costume styling all by himself.

"The small boss of the company personally designs masks and costumes for you. This treatment...is simply amazing." Xu Yuan said to Gong Chen, "I envy you even more now."

"If you change jobs and come to our studio, you can also enjoy this treatment." Xiao Yao joked with a smile, "Fan Linxuan also enjoyed it."

"Forget it, Mr. Chen Huan is now the art director of our company. He takes good care of me. I'm not a traitor!" Xu Yuan seemed to be afraid that Gong Chen might misunderstand something, so he quickly added, "Our company And I didn't fabricate and hype my scandal without my consent. The company didn't apologize to me first, so I can't do things that are sorry to the company. "

"You're kidding, do you really believe it?" Xiao Yao smiled and shrugged. He knew that after Xu Yuan participated in "The Voice", he was signed to his record company by the mentor Chen Huan on the show. In the six months after the show ended last year, other than Fan Linxuan and himself, the two champions and runners-up, released new albums. Besides, among all the other students, only Xu Yuan released a new single. You must know that Xu Yuan didn't even make it to the final four after being eliminated by him. This treatment is enough to show that the company values ​​her, and she is unlikely to change jobs.

"I said you're not doing your job properly," Xu Yuan said a little annoyed, "What a singer-songwriter, in Gong Chen's team, instead of writing songs for her, go to do some modeling?" Having said that, Xu Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Anyway, the duet song for me and Gong Chen hasn't been found yet, why don't you write us a new song for us to sing together on the show? Don't you really like doing this?"

"Do you want to help the two of you write the solo song?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes and asked.

"Okay. That's what you said." Xu Yuan said immediately.

"I agree too." Gong Chen also nodded with a smile.

"I..." Xiao Yao stared.
