Entertaining Children

"Sister Guo, with makeup and styling, half an hour should be enough, right?" Xiao Yao, who returned to the room, did not rush to change clothes and make up, but asked a woman in her thirties in the room. For this competition, Xiao Yao not only brought Pei Minyi, but also specially brought another makeup artist. The person Xiao Yao is asking questions now is the makeup artist specially invited by Xiao Yao.

"With Minyi's help, it should be enough." The woman Xiao Yao called Sister Guo nodded and said. During this week, Xiao Yao was rehearsing and preparing to compete, and Pei Minyi was learning from her how to apply the makeup that Xiao Yao needed for today's performance.

"Then I'll go out and drop by. When I come back later, you should prepare your things first." Xiao Yao stood up and said.

There is still more than half an hour before the start of the competition. This time Xiao Yao didn't need to be the host, so he didn't need to memorize the script, and he seemed relatively relaxed. He didn't want others to come in and see his makeup, and he didn't want to lock the door deliberately to prevent others from entering, so he decided to go out and visit by himself.

Fifteen minutes and five minutes before the start of the competition, there will be a countdown broadcast in the lounge to remind the singers. Generally, from the 15-minute countdown, very few singers will drop by. Fifteen minutes plus the performances of the first five singers, no matter what, it took more than half an hour. This is why Xiao Yao cheated when playing the game and deliberately chose to be the last of the first six singers to appear on stage.

After leaving his room, Xiao Yao led the filming crew to Liang Xueying's room. Liang Xueying is acting as the host instead of herself today, and it is also the first time to be the host. Xiao Yao feels that she should care about it.

"Sister Xueying, can you come in? I'm Xiao Yao." Xiao Yao knocked on the door of Liang Xueying's room and shouted outside.

"Here we come!" With Liang Xueying's shout, the door opened, and Liang Xueying, who came to open the door herself, let Xiao Yao in with a smile, "Please come in!"

"Still reciting the host's script?" Xiao Yao who entered the door noticed that Liang Xueying was still holding a few pieces of paper in her hand when she opened the door, and there were a few hand cards on the table in the room. The screenwriter of the program group was also sitting in Liang Xueying's hand in the room.

"I'm not like you who can host without a script, but I can't memorize it. I have a hand card, so I read it." Liang Xueying smiled and raised the paper in her hand, "It's just that it's my first time as a host. It’s inevitable that I’m a little nervous. I’m afraid of making mistakes on stage, so I want to hurry up and practice as much as possible. You host so well even when you’re out of the script, if I read it wrong, it’d be too embarrassing.”

"Okay, it was my fault again!" Xiao Yao spread his hands with a wry smile, then looked at the notebook in Liang Xueying's hand and said, "Then how are you practicing?"

"I didn't see that the screenwriter is still sitting here, of course it's not doing well." Liang Xueying said with a bitter face on purpose, "You seemed to be very relaxed in the past few episodes, and I still joked in my heart about the old brother Zhao Lixun. host

Unexpectedly, when it was my turn, I realized that it was not simple at all! "

"Is it difficult?" Xiao Yao asked, "Will that affect your performance? Although no one will be eliminated in today's qualifying round, the results of this round will affect the candidates for the next knockout round. "

"Then you can help Xueying prepare for the next performance. Last time you helped her prepare "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" and won the first place." Liang Xueying's manager Zhou Xiao interjected with a smile .

"Don't listen to Zhou Xiao," Liang Xueying smiled and waved her hands, "It's not that I look down on you. Your last grades are there, but I don't want to, and I can't rely on you every time! I heard Teacher Xiao just now Said that you have been in Yanjing last week, Shen Man also said that you have been in the United States last week, you should have not gone to school for two weeks, right? I don’t want to waste your time anymore. "

Since he came back with an award at the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival with "The Tuner", Xiao Yao has no resistance in applying for a leave of absence. He had indeed been on leave for two weeks in a row, and he hadn't gone to Shencheng to attend classes. He originally planned to go back to Shencheng to go to school for classes this week no matter what.

"Actually, these are not that difficult. I was teasing you just now." Seeing that Xiao Yao was silent, Liang Xueying continued, "I have almost practiced these strings of words, and now it is the relatively long advertisement that I The reading is not particularly fluent, and there is still about half an hour left, I will practice again, and it will definitely be fine."

"Advertisement? Is it the part where I said the tongue twister?" Xiao Yao asked.

"Well," Liang Xueying nodded, "This paragraph is too long, and it's all sponsors' advertisements, don't talk about tongue twisters like you, I have difficulty reading it completely now, I really don't know you How did you say it so quickly like a tongue twister?"

"Then don't talk about it, leave this part to me." Xiao Yao said.

"You say it? How do you say it? You are not the host." Liang Xueying asked strangely.

"After I finish the performance." Xiao Yao said, "Isn't it possible for a singer to stay on stage to introduce the guests after the performance? Let this time be a little longer, and I will say this paragraph after I have introduced the guests. .”

Xiao Yao turned his head to look at the screenwriter in the room and said, "Screenwriter Qi, the sponsor requires each issue to say their advertisement, but there is no rule that it must be said at the opening? Let's move it to my Is it okay to say it after the performance? In fact, this way the audience will be more impressed, and the advertising effect on them will be better. Besides, I promised the audience that as long as I stay in this show, I will tell them every episode I don’t want to break my promise to the audience for the tongue twister of the advertisement!”

"I'm not sure, and I haven't read the specific terms of the contract with the sponsor." The screenwriter said with some hesitation, "But I think what you said is quite reasonable. Deliberately changing the time period is indeed a disservice to them. ads are more effective.”

"Well, let me contact Director Tao and ask her." Writer Qi took out his mobile phone and said, "She should be more clear about the terms and details of the sponsorship contract."

"Okay! Then please ask Director Tao to make sure." Xiao Yao smiled and nodded.

"Director Tao said there's no problem." After talking on the phone with Tao Ran, screenwriter Qi smiled and said to Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying, "There will be no problem with the sponsor."

"Then it's settled, you don't need to practice any more for this part." Xiao Yao looked at Liang Xueying and said.

"Okay, then I'll leave this part to you." Liang Xueying picked out a hand card from the table and said, "After you sing the song, it must be unscripted. The advertisement is on it, do you want to?" Take it back again?"

"No, I've said it three times, I'll remember it." Xiao Yao pointed to his head and said.

"You can read commercials, but you can't be a host," Liang Xueying smiled and said to Xiao Yao, "I'm very curious about your performance today. I only have the title of the song you performed, and I don't know you What is your performance like, can you tell me, what is the big move you want to use?"

"Of course ~ can't!" Xiao Yao panted deliberately, "You can see it when the competition is officially held."

"It's boring~" Liang Xueying rolled her eyes and said, "You see, I've already replaced you as the host, so keep it a secret from me?"

"Well, I won't delay your script practice, goodbye!" Xiao Yao greeted, opened the door of Liang Xueying's room and slipped away.

After leaving Liang Xueying's room, Xiao Yao didn't hang out with other singers, and went back to his room directly. Seeing that there were less than 20 minutes left before the start of the competition, Xiao Yao simply locked the door of the room, sat in front of the dressing table and let the makeup artist start to make up and style himself.

The competition started, and the five-second countdown sounded in the studio. Amidst the cheers of the audience, a figure appeared in the passage. Because of the backlight, the audience at the scene couldn't see the faces of the figures in the channel clearly at first, but judging only from their figures, many people found that the host who appeared first today did not seem to be Xiao Yao. Some discussions.

The figure walked to the center of the stage, and the lights above the stage turned on. Liang Xueying, dressed in a small women's suit, holding a microphone in one hand and a hand card in the other, appeared in front of the audience with a smile. Seeing that today's host has changed again, the applause and cheers at the scene also turned into exclamations.

"Hi everyone! Welcome to the "Singer" program competition site broadcast exclusively by Qingying Gel Water! I am singer Liang Xueying!" Liang Xueying waved to the audience with her right hand holding the hand card With a wave, he said the opening remarks with a smile.

"I think many viewers will have some doubts about me standing here today. Let me explain to you a little bit here." Liang Xueying said with a smile, "The previous host was not eliminated in the last competition. , just because his performance today is quite special, he is not suitable to be a host, so I will host the first episode on his behalf. Today is the third round of qualifying, and there will be no elimination places, so regardless of today's competition Regardless of the results of the show, at least in the next episode, he will return to the role of host and continue to host for everyone."

"Huh~ So that's how it is!" Hearing what Liang Xueying said, many viewers heaved a sigh of relief.

Seeing the host change, the first reaction of many viewers was that Xiao Yao was eliminated. After all, the last match was a kick-off match, and there would be eliminated singers, and the recorded program had not yet been broadcast on TV. The audience also didn't know the result of the last kick-off match. The difference between this show and the previous show is that in order to increase the sense of surprise for the audience by the new singer, the program team distributed the ballots printed with the singer's name and profile picture to the audience to vote after all the competitions were over. At the beginning of the competition, the audience did not fully know who the seven singers will be on stage today.

"As for how special his competition today is, so that he can't even be the host?" Liang Xueying said here, deliberately putting off the air, and paused, seeing the expectant expressions of the audience. , spread his hands, and continued with a helpless face, "I don't know either! I'm as curious as everyone else about what his performance is like today."

"Cut~" The expectant audience waited for Liang Xueying's next sentence, and immediately let out sporadic boos in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, let's not talk about the host for now." Liang Xueying waved her hand and said seriously, "Today is the first qualifying match of the third round, and we will welcome a replacement singer again. About today This replacement singer, I can disclose some information to you in advance. This is a new generation singer who may not be very familiar to you, but is very powerful. Apart from the enchanting host, she is our present She is the youngest among all competing singers, and at the same time, she is not only unquestionable in her strength, but also very good-looking, please look forward to the wonderful performance of this replacement singer today!"

"Wow~" Hearing Liang Xueying's introduction, the audience at the scene were very excited and gave a burst of applause and cheers to today's replacement singer. who is it.

"Viewers who are familiar with the rules of our program should know that the replacement singer's first appearance is the last one to appear on the spot, so if you want to see the wonderful performance of the replacement singer, you have to wait for a while. "Liang Xueying continued, "Now, let me introduce to you the repertoire of the first singer to perform today."

"It's so soon to introduce the first singer's competition repertoire? Why does it feel like something is missing?" Many audiences thought a little strangely.

"Wait," Liang Xueying seemed to know what the audience was thinking, she stopped introducing the first singer to perform, and then looked at the audience and said, "Do you think there is something missing?"

"Yes!" The audience shouted.

"Advertisement!" yelled some in the audience who remembered what was missing.

"Yes, I haven't read the sponsor's advertisement yet." Liang Xueying smiled and nodded, "But I won't read today's sponsor's advertisement, I will leave it to the original host to read."

"Huh? Xiao Yao read the advertisement, and he is not the host, how can he read it?" The audience was puzzled and thought.

"So the host said," Liang Xueying continued, "he promised you that as long as he continues to be on this show, he will read the advertisement every episode like the first time he hosted it. I can't learn his ability to read commercials, and I can't help him fulfill his promise to you, but he can't host today, so we discussed with the program team and moved the time for reading this commercial After his performance. When he finishes his performance and introduces his supporting guests, he will personally read this commercial to everyone in that way!"

"Yeah~" There was a burst of cheers at the scene.

"Xiao Yao can hear him read the commercials even if he is not the host? It's great!" The audience cheered, on the one hand because they were impressed by Xiao Yao's way of reading the commercials, and they really couldn't hear enough, but on the other hand On the one hand, it is because from Liang Xueying's words, it can be heard that Xiao Yao invited guests to help out today. From participating in the show to the present, Xiao Yao has not invited any guests to help out, except for Sun Tingting, who used a virtual 3D stereoscopic projection in the last episode.

"Okay, that's the end of the digression," Liang Xueying continued the program flow, "Next, I will officially introduce the competition repertoire of the first singer..."
