Entertaining Children

After the program recorded on May 3rd was aired, the performance of the two young female singers, Gong Chen and Xu Yuan, became the biggest highlight of the program. Both of them are young rookies with good figure, good looks and good singing skills. Both their gorgeous looks and wonderful singing are very eye-catching.

The visual effect of the two is one white and the other black, and the performance style is quiet and moving. There are strong contrasts, but they are very harmonious and tacit in their chorus. Coupled with the addition of Xiao Yao's gimmicks such as writing songs, arranging music, modeling, mask design, and being a make-up artist's attendant for the two, their limelight completely overshadowed the other four singers in the current period, and they became the audience's favorite singer. The focus of discussion and comment on the web.

The data shows that the ratings of this episode of the program have increased by a full two percentage points compared to the previous episode, and in terms of the number of hits on the cooperative video websites, the number of hits on the video network of this episode has doubled compared to the previous episode. More than doubled. Whether it is the comments from netizens under the video or the barrage sent by netizens when the video is playing, there are more numbers about these two singers than the other four singers combined. Such a result also made the program team regret letting the two leave after only participating in one episode.

In addition to the two female singers, Xiao Yao who appeared in the lounge was also a focus of attention of the audience. When they saw Xiao Yao take off his mask by himself in the lounge, many audience members exclaimed like watching a singer reveal his face. And Xiao Yao not only wrote songs, arranged music, designed masks, but also went to the scene as a follower for the two female singers, which naturally aroused many comments from netizens.

Like the guests on the guessing group, many viewers easily guessed Gong Chen's identity following Xiao Yao's clues. After all, after the gossip some time ago, Gong Chen joined Qi Jia Studio after terminating the contract with his former company. The subsequent release of singles and singing of film and television songs can be seen that Qi Jia Studio is a flower in packaging and promoting Gong Chen. With a lot of thought, it's not too surprising that Xiao Yao personally went out to do these things for Gong Chen. What makes people feel a little puzzled is how Xu Yuan was favored by Xiao Yao and enjoyed the same treatment as Gong Chen. Could it be that Qijia Studio is going to poach people again and want to sign Xu Yuan?

Following this line of thought, quite a few gossip entertainment media sent out some gossip that Xu Yuan would quit Qijia Studio. But before this news really became a trend, Qi Jia Studio, Xu Yuan himself, and Diman Records, where Xu Yuan works, each issued a statement to clarify, denying that Xu Yuan will change his hometown in the near future Rumors of Ka's studio.

So this is purely Xiao Yao's interest, and brought Xu Yuan and Gong Chen to play together on the show? Nothing to do with job hopping? Judging from the follow-up actions, it seems that this is really the case.

The way Xiao Yao's new songs meet the public is often out of routine, and they often appear suddenly in a certain program. Therefore, many of his songs have live performance versions first. As for when the official studio version will be officially released, there is no rule at all. For example, "I can only accompany you here" performed by Gong Chen and Chen Chen before, and the Korean song "alone" performed by Green Apple Girl, there has not been an official studio version until now. Many people want to listen to the studio Fans of that version are still eagerly awaiting it.

But this time Xiao Yao's movements were quite fast. Just one week after the show aired, the official studio versions of the three songs that Gong Chen and Xu Yuan performed on the show were released to the fans. Gong Chen's solo "Water Tune Getou. When Will the Moon Come" and the duo's duet "Song for Whom" did not release physical records, but released the official studio version directly on the music website , for free trial listening and paid downloading for netizens.

Although the song "Summer Light Years" that Xu Yuan sang solo was also a studio version produced by Xiao Yao himself, Qijia Studio directly handed it over to Xu Yuan's owner, Diman Records, and let them operate Xu Yuan's own music. Yuan's release work for this single.

Qijia studio's attitude towards Xu Yuan and Diman Records reminded many people of Gong Chen's former employer, AMG. Many people think that if it wasn’t for AMG’s self-assertion to hype up the fake scandal between Gong Chen and Xiao Yao, I’m afraid Gong Chen is still staying in AMG now, whether it’s a single, the ending song of a TV series or the performance in the show, Gong Chen should be the same Not a lot, and AMG will benefit a lot from it, just like Dieman now.

Both Xu Yuan and Gong Chen are singers who have only released singles but not albums. The last time Xu Yuan released a single was shortly after the end of "The Voice" last year, and it has been eight or nine months now, so after Xiao Yao gave "Summer Light Years" to Xu Yuan, Diman immediately Arranged to help her release her second physical single disc. Gong Chen's single has only been released for a month, and the number of new singles is too frequent, so Qi Jia only released the electronic version on the music website.

As for the song "Song Not For Whom" that the two sang together, Diman originally wanted to come and release it together in Xu Yuan's single, but Xiao Yao did not agree. Let this song sung by his own company's singer be released by another company. On the other hand, Xiao Yao made an MV of this song. If the copyright is sold to Diman, it will not be so convenient for Xiao Yao to play .

The MV of JJ Lin's "A Song For No One" in his previous life was filmed very carefully and very touching. And Xiao Yao happened to be shooting the MV some time ago. Now that he has written this song, he also wants to make the MV of this song, and express the meaning he wants to express in this song in his own way.

The reason why it is said to be "doing" rather than "shooting" is that Xiao Yao has no plans to shoot anything else for this MV, but plans to use existing materials to complete it through editing.

The MV in the previous life was a story in which the singer's own color images were interspersed with several black and white images. What impressed Xiao Yao deeply was the few stories in the black and white images, which gave him a sense of shock from watching a documentary. In this life, Xiao Yao intends to throw away all the singer's color shots, and present the entire MV in black and white. He wants to collect such videos of real events directly from the Internet, convert them into black and white images, stitch them together through editing, and make a truly documentary-style MV. Although the lack of symbolic color images makes the whole MV less deep and compelling than the original version in the previous life, the all-black and white documentary version allows the audience to understand Xiao Yao's thoughts more simply and straightforwardly. To express the meaning through this song.

The theme of the whole song is to express the spirit of mutual help between people and to thank all kinds of unknown people who help others when they encounter difficulties. It seems that this kind of news that promotes the positive energy of society is not uncommon. It seems that this kind of video can also be seen from time to time on the Internet, but it is not easy to find it specifically, especially Xiao Yao does not want any disputes in this MV. In addition to finding a true story video suitable for the MV theme, Xiao Yao also needs to contact the original publisher or photographer of the video, and get the video shooter to let him use those videos in the MV. license in . After this MV is released, it will also play a role in promoting this song, and this song needs to be paid to download on the music website, and he is the copyright owner of this song. These videos are included in the MV. It can be regarded as commercial use.

For such a troublesome matter, Xiao Yao naturally recruited his assistant, Fang Yiran, to help. In fact, the process of negotiating authorization is not difficult. The MV of this song is very positive and promotes positive energy. This is consistent with the original intention of most of these video shooters to publish it on the Internet. Xiao Yao, a popular talent star, personally found them to use their videos as MV materials, and they would happily agree no matter whether there was any financial reward. The difficulty is to find out the first online account among those videos that have been widely circulated and forwarded countless times on the Internet, and then get in touch with the photographer himself.

"The pregnant woman in the subway car was about to give birth, and the passengers worked together to send her to the doctor", "The wall suddenly collapsed, and the passers-by worked together to dig out the buried person", "The injured were crushed at the scene of the car accident, and everyone worked together to lift the car to save them" and other seven or eight people were captured by Xiao Yao. After some hard work by Xiao Yao and Fang Yiran, the selected videos found the original uploaders and photographers. After obtaining their consent, these videos also became the original materials of Xiao Yao's MV.

In addition to converting all the videos into black and white images, Xiao Yao also put a lot of effort into the editing of the videos. The total length of the eight videos exceeds 20 minutes, and Xiao Yao's song is only more than four minutes in total. Naturally, we don't need so much content, we only need to select the most essential parts. In addition, Xiao Yao did not simply play the eight video clips in sequence once, but made full use of editing techniques to intersperse them together so that they could better blend with the background singing. fit together.

The protagonists in these videos are all ordinary people, and there are more than one ordinary people. Whenever the phrase "who is he" is sung in the song, it is also when the most touching scene in the video appears, just like a singer Helping the audience to ask who the nameless people who are eager to help others in the video are. And when "Who is he" appeared continuously at the end of the song, Xiao Yao collectively reviewed the pictures in the eight videos by flashing the freeze-frame pictures.

Even if all the most original video materials are obtained from the photographers, the quality, clarity and stability of the shooting lens of these videos are uneven. However, after editing by Xiao Yao and adding songs to make an MV, it can touch the hearts of viewers more than any original video.

Xu Yuan and Gong Chen's singing in the show is the first time that song appeared, and it is also a live version, so whether it is the listener's attention or Xiao Yao's focus on the composition, it is to better show the two people The charm of the voice makes it easy for people to overlook the lyrics of the song and the meaning it wants to express. In the MV, Xiao Yao used the studio version that was re-recorded later, which lacked a lot of the intentional skill display in the live version, and the whole song was much softer overall. As the background music of the MV, it also makes it easier for viewers to focus on the theme that the lyrics of the song want to express and the coordination of the picture.

After the production of this MV was completed, Xiao Yao did not send it to the music channel of the TV station to participate in the ranking of the MV, but directly uploaded it to several free music websites and video websites for netizens to watch for free. After the MV was released on the website, it quickly aroused the interest of netizens.
