Entertaining Children

In the recording studio, after the singers and managers were seated, Tao Ran did not welcome the replacement singer first as he did last time, but looked at Xiao Yao with a smile and joked: "The makeup removal speed is quite fast, I thought I could do it here I saw a Huadan in ancient costume!"

"Come on, Director Tao, Sister Hong and the others have already added a lot of scenes of my Huadan costume to your show." Xiao Yao spread his hands helplessly.

"Well, I heard!" Tao Ran nodded, obviously knowing what happened in the rest hall, "Thank you, Teacher Hong Wei."

"Okay, first of all, let's welcome our new friend, the new replacement singer Wei Shile!" Tao Ran led the applause and returned to the original program flow.

"Thank you!" Wei Shile politely stood up and bowed to Tao Ran and the other singers.

"Participating in our program today, how do you feel?" Tao Ran asked Wei Shile with a smile.

"It's a great honor to participate in this show. The stage is great, and all kinds of equipment, including sound and lighting, are all top-notch. I enjoy singing on it." Wei Shile said with a smile, "And here is I saw a performance that I couldn't even imagine," Wei Shile said, turning his head to look at Xiao Yao, "It was really beyond my expectations. This time, the overall feeling is very pleasantly surprised. I promised to come to this show. I made a very correct decision, and I believe this is a very rare experience in my life."

"Thank you for your evaluation, and we are also very grateful for your wonderful performance on stage," Tao Ran said with a smile, "Your performance today is also a surprise to us."

"Thank you!" Wei Shile, who sat back in his seat, clasped his hands together again, lowered his head and leaned forward.

"Today is the third round of qualifying, so no one will be eliminated. After the next knockout round, we will combine today's and next round's results to come up with a candidate for elimination." Tao Ran briefly introduced After a while, he continued, "Now it's time to announce the results of the singers' votes. Whose results do you want to hear the most?"

"Xiao Yao's!" Liang Xueying said, "He's wearing a Huadan costume and singing Peking Opera today. He's really amazing. I want to know his performance the most."

"Sister Xueying, I'm sorry, you can say that you can pretend to be a female role, but the one I sang can only be called Jingyun, which is different from the real Beijing opera." Xiao Yao smiled and pointed to the camera in the studio, "This one I sing It must be pointed out, otherwise Mr. Mei will see it when it is broadcast, and I may be scolded."

"Does anyone dare to scold you?" Hong Wei asked curiously, "Mr. Mei? Which Mr. Mei is so powerful?"

"Mr. Mei Qingchang of Yanjing,

"Xiao Yao said, "My Beijing opera-like singing style and some movements and footwork on the stage just learned from him. "

"Are you Mr. Mei Qingchang's apprentice?" Hong Wei was even more surprised. She knew who Mei Qingchang was, he was a real Peking Opera master!

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, "I was just fortunate enough to accept Mr. Mei's instruction and learn some things from him, but he didn't accept me as an apprentice. Serious learning of opera comes from practicing basic skills since childhood. At this age, I have already passed the age suitable for learning opera. Mr. Mei will not accept fanciers like me as an apprentice. Of course, my attitude towards Peking Opera is not devout enough, I just mix Jingyun singing with pop music It's just for fun, and I don't expect to be able to worship under the master of Peking Opera like Mr. Mei."

"You are quite self-aware." Hong Wei laughed.

"Then shall we announce Xiao Yao's results next?" Tao Ran asked with a smile.

"Let's listen to Sami first." When Xiao Yao mentioned Wei Shile's English name, he inexplicably thought of another person. After a slightly awkward pause, he continued, "She is the first This time, she can be regarded as a guest, listen to her grades first, and don't let her keep her heart hanging."

"Okay~" Tao Ran nodded, but the next thing he said was "Then let's announce Xiao Yao first."

"What?" Xiao Yao stared and complained in his heart, "You don't listen to me, what kind of head are you nodding? Could it be that Tao Ran is now taking pleasure in playing with himself?"

"Teacher Tao, you've failed in your studies!" Everyone saw Xiao Yao's expression and said to Tao Ran with a smile.

But Tao Ran's next words immediately made Xiao Yao put his little dissatisfaction to the sky.

"Xiao Yao, ranked first in the audience vote!" Tao Ran announced while looking at the phone in his hand.

"Yeah~" There were three cheers at the scene, but Xiao Yao, who was a little dazed, was not among them. Those who cheered were Shen Man, Xiao Siqi, and Liang Xueying!

The singers and managers at the scene also gave Xiao Yao a burst of applause. Qin Xiaodong nodded with a smile on his face and commented: "Based on Xiao Yao's performance today, this number one should be well deserved."

"Thank you everyone!" Xiao Yao stood up and bowed to everyone, "Thank you Brother Xiaodong for your compliment."

"Xiao Yao won the first place. It's normal for Shen Man and Lao Xiao to be happy. One of them is Xiao Yao's manager and the other is Xiao Yao's father. Xueying, why are you so excited?" Hong Wei smiled and looked at Excited Liang Xueying said, "Does it mean that Xiao Yao won the first place, and the next show will be safe, and you can ask him to arrange music and design costumes again? Today you are hosting for him, and it will be even more exciting to go to him again this time." Are you confident?"

"No, I'm just happy for him." Liang Xueying said with a little embarrassment, "He has helped me once, and I'm acting as the host this time because of my own interest and also to repay the favor he helped me last time. I Last time I was too anxious to find him, even if I get seventh again this time, I will not go looking for him again."

"How do you say it seems to draw a clear line?" Hong Wei said with a deliberately surprised face.

"Where is that?" Liang Xueying said angrily, "I just think that everyone is a singer competing on the same stage, and it's embarrassing to bother him all the time. Besides, he hasn't gone to school for two weeks, and he has to go back to school this week. I have to make up for the missed classes, and the time must be very tight.”

"Okay, congratulations to Xiao Yao, next, we will announce the winner of the second place in this vote..." Tao Ran then announced.

"Hong Wei," Xiao Yao said quickly, "Sister Jing!"

"Xiao Yao, you!" Hong Wei pointed at Xiao Yao with staring eyes.

"Why, you don't want to take the second place?" Xiao Yao spread his hands and smiled, "Now the first place has been announced, and the one with the best result is the second. I hope you get a good result, the better the result in this game , the next game will be safer."

"Bah, I don't want to!" Hong Wei said disapprovingly, "I'd rather be third or fourth?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint Teacher Hong Wei. Second place, Hong Wei!" After Tao Ran announced, he looked at Hong Wei with a smile and answered, "Should I say congratulations?"

"This is a good grade, of course congratulations, it is well deserved!" Xiao Yao smiled and took the lead in clapping.

"You...I..." Hong Wei pointed at Xiao Yao, not knowing what to say. This guy is Hong Guoguo's revenge, but in the midst of everyone's congratulations and applause, Hong Wei still can't get angry!

"Today we will announce the results for you in order of ranking from top to bottom." Tao Ran continued to announce, "The next step is to announce the third place..."

In the end, the results of this field came out. Xiao Siqi was third, Liang Xueying was fourth, the replacement singer Wei Shile who made his debut was fifth, Liu Youyuan was sixth, and Qin Xiaodong was seventh.

Qin Xiaodong and Liu Youyuan, who ranked last two, are not pure singers like Liang Xueying. They are both creators and producers themselves, and they can arrange music. The songs in the competition are also arranged by themselves. With their personalities and their arrogance as creators, even if they were in a relatively dangerous position, they would not ask others to arrange music for them.

After returning to Shanghai after the recording of the program, Xiao Yao still quickly prepared the score and arrangement of the next competition song and sent it to the program group.

Xiao Yao still felt a little resentful towards the seventh place in the second knockout round. After winning the first place this time, he was relatively safe and prepared another folk song for the next round, and the stage design for the performance was also the same. easier. There are no supporting guests, no specially designed performance costumes, and even the gimmick of the shovel guitar. The only thing that is better than the second round of elimination is probably that Xiao Yao prepared a Chinese folk song this time.

After Xiao Yao returned to Shanghai, he did go back to school to attend classes, but he did not make up for the missing classes as Liang Xueying guessed. The lessons he missed were all recorded by Qin Hao and Xu Liang in the same dormitory with DV, and sent to him by email for viewing. With these videos of class, with his ability, it is easy to keep up with everyone's progress when he goes back to class after half a month.

Xiao Yao naturally came up with this idea. Last semester, Xiao Yao seldom asked for leave. He stayed at school for a long time, and he didn't have any celebrity airs. He went to class and lived with his buddies in the dormitory. They would play basketball together when they had nothing to do. They had already gotten along pretty well. At the beginning of the year, they took them to the press conference again. Qin Hao and Xu Liang naturally agreed to Xiao Yao's request without hesitation.

However, this approach is against the school's regulations. The courses of the Academy of Performing Arts are not public courses, and recording videos are not allowed to be spread at will. Fortunately, the award that Xiao Yao got back from Clermont Ferrand was not insignificant. Considering Xiao Yao's identity and specific circumstances, the purpose of this move was to keep up with the progress of his studies. After ensuring that the recorded class video would not be shared outside, Xiao Yao made an exception.

The university courses are not intensive, and Xiao Yao only has a lot of spare time when he only takes normal classes. Xiao Yao didn't let himself be idle either, there were still many things he could do during this period.

The first is the pure music album of the piano piece. In the last tournament, Xiao Yao gave a piano recital before the competition, which was the rhythm of preparing to release a piano album. When he was in Yanjing last week, Xiao Yao studied opera with Mr. Mei Qingchang for half the day, rehearsed with the "Women's Orchestra" for half the day, and recorded piano music in the recording studio of Qijia Studio at night. In nearly a week, Xiao Yao has finished recording nine pieces. The album of piano music he is going to release has more tracks than guitar music, with a total of thirteen pieces, and there are four remaining pieces that have not been recorded, and it will probably take two days.

In addition, it is the post-production of the MV "Thinking Out Loud" that Xiao Yao shot with Sun Tingting in the United States.

The broadcast and recording of the "Singer" program were separated by less than two periods. Before Xiao Yao went to record the third round of qualifying, the second knockout round had already been broadcast on TV. Since Xiao Yao participated in this program, his performance in each episode has been a hot topic of discussion among audiences and netizens, and that episode was no exception.

Xiao Yao's original English folk song, that weird homemade shovel guitar, and the big slide from the first to the seventh, these are the topics that netizens like to talk about, but everyone discusses the most Yes, it was the cooperation between Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying.

From the tidbits released before the game and Liang Xueying’s revelations in the pre-match interview, everyone knows the electronic music version of Liang Xueying’s "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", the beautiful lighting costumes, and the dreamy starry sky The stage effects are all Xiao Yao's handwriting. Xiao Yao also served as a live electronic music DJ for Liang Xueying during the performance. Competing opponents in the same field, this will inevitably make some netizens brainstorm and speculate about the relationship between the two.

In today's entertainment industry, it is not uncommon for siblings to love each other. This is not like how Xiao Yao helped Yin Xi earn Eva Angel's contract back then. Even if they didn't say that they were not as famous at that time as they are now, no one would connect a ten-year-old boy with a twenty-two-year-old female model. Together. But a twenty-year-old youngster and a thirty-two-year-old diva, both grown-ups, are not so unimaginable. In the entertainment industry, there are quite a few couples and even couples with an age gap greater than twelve years old, not to mention that Xiao Yao has been called an evildoer since he was a child because of his excessive precocity. If he likes a woman who is much older than him , that's really normal.

However, the matter between Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying is not like Gong Chen's scandal at the beginning, so this matter was discussed from the comments of ordinary netizens, and the media was not involved in it at the beginning. The matter of the girlfriend is well known. Although the two are separated in two places, there is no news of breaking up. Therefore, this kind of argument has not shown an explosive spread, but is only limited to the speculation of some netizens. But hunting for novelties and spreading rumors is the nature of some people. After a period of fermentation, no one knows whether this will become another scandal of Xiao Yao that spreads all over the Internet.

Faced with this kind of topic that netizens chatted about boringly, not to mention that it has not yet become a trend, even if it is spread on the Internet, Xiao Yao has no interest in holding another press conference to specifically explain it. The last time Gong Chen was also because he introduced Gong Chen Chenhe Studio only opened after signing a contract. This time there is no behind-the-scenes pusher, and Xiao Yao will not be so laborious.

In fact, Xiao Yao thought that this kind of remarks might appear. Of course, Xiao Yao was upset when he shot the MV of "Thinking Out Loud". The reason is for this situation. Just relying on the intimate movements and eye contact between the two in their sweet pas de deux in the MV, as soon as this MV is released, it is estimated that all rumors on the Internet will disappear.

According to the original plan, Xiao Yao will release the single and MV of this song globally next week, after the broadcast of the second round of the show, because in the tidbits of the show, Xiao Yao confessed that he deliberately I went to the United States to find Sun Tingting, and the two of them filmed some behind-the-scenes shots of this MV in the United States. After the show is broadcast, there will be an effect of echoing each other. The stage performance in that period was the interaction between Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting's 3D projection. After that, the MV of this song was released to clarify and counter rumors.

But Xiao Yao doesn't know how fast this kind of rumor will spread, and when the gossip media and tabloids will get involved, so Xiao Yao is going to prepare the MV first. If this kind of talk has a tendency to explode this week, then Xiao Yao Haruka didn't mind releasing the MV of this song in advance, so he took advantage of the opportunity to release the official version of this song in advance in China.
