Entertaining Children

After Xiao Yao's whistle and piano sound stopped together, the follow spot lights above his head were turned off, and the main light above the stage was also turned on, and the whole stage became bright again. ． update the fastest

"Thank you!" Xiao Yao took off the microphone on the microphone stand with one hand, held the saxophone in the other hand, walked to the side of the microphone stand and bowed to the audience.

There was a burst of warm applause from the audience. Similar to the last time when Xiao Yao performed "When You Are Old" on this stage, many audience members stood up from their seats, some of them had red eyes with tears in the corners of their eyes. Everyone was just applauding silently, there was no cheering or screaming.

"Thank you, band teacher!" Xiao Yao thanked Liu Tong and other live band members on the side of the stage. He pointed to the saxophone player standing behind him on the stage and said, "I would like to thank Mr. Shuo Kai on the stage, a great saxophone player!"

Although this saxophonist named "Shuo Kai" was found by the program team for Xiao Yao and not invited by Xiao Yao himself, since he appeared on the stage with him, Xiao Yao felt that it would be better to thank him alone .

Turning around to see Shuo Kai also bowed to the audience. After leaving the stage, Xiao Yao continued to introduce the next singer's competition song: "The next singer will bring you a Chinese song A classic old song in the music world, "Iris" sung by Gao Wei, a senior in the music world. I did the math just now. When this song was the most popular, I didn't seem to be born. This should be a classic song that everyone remembers deeply , but the singer who will appear next has made a relatively large arrangement of this song, I believe it will definitely bring you a brand new feeling. Applause, please invite the next competing singer to appear on the stage!"

Under the leadership of Xiao Yao, the audience applauded the next singer. The lights above the stage were dimmed, and the spotlights in the entrance passage behind the stage were turned on from the back to the front, which also attracted most of the audience's attention to the singers who appeared on stage. At this time, not many people noticed that Xiao Yao, who had introduced the next singer, did not walk off the stage from the front side of the stage as usual, but retreated quietly to the side and rear of the stage.

Xiao Siqi, who stepped out of the stage aisle, walked directly to the front of the stage, smiling and bowing to greet the audience. At the same time, in the darker area in the middle of the stage, a group of staff also ran up quickly and quickly started preparations.

Seeing Xiao Siqi's appearance, the audience also greeted Xiao Siqi's appearance with bursts of applause and cheers.

Xiao Siqi straightened up and waved to the audience, then turned to look at the stage behind him. Unlike the audience in the audience, where he stood, he could clearly see the preparations of the band behind him.

The lights around the outside of the stage changed colors,

Remind everyone that the preparations have been done and the performance will start soon. The audience at the scene fell silent, Xiao Siqi turned to face the audience, turned his head and nodded in the direction of the band conductor Liu Tong, indicating that it is time to start.

"Woo~" Liu Tong, who was in charge of the on-site band conductor, waved his hands, and the flute sounded on the spot. The sound of the flute is soft and melodious, which immediately gives people a feeling of tranquility and subtlety.

"Ding~" Not long after the sound of the flute sounded, another special sound sounded, joining the melodious sound of the flute.

"Boom, ding ding ~ dong, ding ~ ding dong ding dong" The newly added instrument is a percussion instrument, which is more rhythmic than the flute sound, and this sound is exquisite and clear. It sounds not only soft and warm, but also has a kind of Very ethereal feeling.

"The prelude is really nice, and it feels more flavorful than the original version. I just don't know what instrument the voice behind it is." Such a special prelude, especially the sound of the somewhat unfamiliar ethereal instrument, immediately caught the audience the audience's ears.

After the prelude ended, Xiao Siqi also raised the microphone to his mouth and began to sing.

This is a very famous classic old song in this world, and the audience is familiar with it, but when Xiao Siqi sang it, they really heard a different taste. Story of the Star Field

This song is the most popular typical lyrical song in the 1990s, and it is also the style characteristic of Xiao Siqi's early debut. In Xiao Siqi's adaptation this time, on the basis of retaining the lyrical characteristics of the original song, he changed the song to be more "big". Whether it is the soundtrack or the singing, it looks very deep and far away.

In fact, this is not the first time Xiao Yao has presented this type of adaptation on stage. As early as the first episode of the show that Xiao Yao participated in, that is, the first round of the kick-off competition, Xiao Siqi added the soundtrack of the ocarina to the arrangement of the song he performed, and invited Cao Zhongyun, the master ocarina player, to live accompaniment. It's just that what Xiao Siqi adapted that time was a pop rock song, and the chorus part kept the enthusiasm of the original version of the song, which is not as thorough and vivid as this time's adaptation.

After the chorus of the first part is sung, there is an interlude in the middle of the song. The flute sound similar to the melody of the prelude sounded again, Xiao Siqi also put down the microphone raised to his mouth, turned around and walked towards the middle of the stage.

"Ding, ding ding ~ dong, ding ~ ding dong ding dong" Not long after the flute sounded, the unusually ethereal musical instrument sounded again. And as Xiao Siqi gradually walked to the middle of the stage, the lights in the area where the musicians were located also gradually turned from dim to bright!

As the lights above the middle of the stage came on, the audience and the singers watching the live broadcast in the lounge could also see the musicians in that area clearly. The most eye-catching thing is the musician sitting on a chair in the middle, with both hands beating on a musical instrument resting on his legs.

"I'll go! Is that Xiao Yao?" The audience and the singers in the lounge all stared wide-eyed.

Although the singer in the middle position lowered his head and tapped the instrument on his lap, judging from his clothes, he was clearly the host Xiao Yao who just finished performing. Many audience members looked towards the front of the stage subconsciously, and found that when the first few singers sang, Xiao Yao's position in the audience standing and watching was really empty. As a result, many audience members firmly confirmed that the musician on stage was Xiao Yao.

As if feeling that Xiao Siqi came to his side, Xiao Yao slowly raised his head while playing, and the camera installed on the rocker arm at the scene immediately advanced to give a close-up shot of the singers watching the live broadcast in the lounge It was also clear that the musician playing the weird instrument was indeed Xiao Yao.

"Wow~" The audience and other singers watching the live broadcast exclaimed in a low voice.

Ever since Xiao Yao appeared on this show as a singer who kicked the pavilion, the competition between Xiao's father and son has always been a big attraction. Although the two are competing with each other in the show, both the live audience and the TV audience are looking forward to the performance of the father and son on the same stage.

According to the rules of the program, both the regular season and the breakout match are solo, and guests cannot be invited to sing in chorus, so unless one of the two is bored or shameless and runs to the other side's lineup of harmony singers to become a harmony singer, Otherwise, if you want to see father and son singing together on the same stage, at least you can get the help singing part in the first round of the final. The audience is also expecting that both of them can enter the finals of this season, and then you will sing for me in the first round of the finals, and I will sing for you, and there will be two choruses. Thinking about it, I found it very interesting.

However, since Xiao Yao appeared in Liang Xueying's competition as a live electronic music DJ, the audience also thought of another possible way for father and son to perform on the same stage. Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao are not and have never been harmony singers. It is indeed a bit boring and shameless to be harmony singers for each other on the show, but both of them can play musical instruments. If they are on the show It is not so unacceptable to be a musician for the other party and perform live accompaniment. Just like Xiao Yao's live electronic music DJ for Liang Xueying, it is completely acceptable.

According to their identities, most people guessed that Xiao Siqi was going to accompany Xiao Yao. Although Xiao Yao has a good reputation as an evildoer, and his performance in this program is no worse than that of Xiao Siqi, but in terms of musical instrument playing ability alone, most people still think that Xiao Siqi, the old man, is better than Xiao Yao, the son. But what everyone didn't expect was that the first time the father and son performed on the same stage, it was the son Xiao Yao who came to help Laozi Xiao Siqi to be the live accompaniment.

"What is that thing that Xiao Yao is knocking on?" After being surprised by Xiao Yao appearing in the hands of the musicians on stage, many people focused their attention on the strange instrument on Xiao Yao's lap. The stunning concubine is too frivolous

"It looks like two pot lids put together, it looks a bit like a flying saucer, is that sound coming from this thing?" Some viewers wondered in their hearts.

Xiao Siqi asked Xiao Yao to be the live accompaniment musician, not for the booing of his father and son on the same stage, but because he felt that including himself, among the people he knew, there was no better choice than Xiao Yao. In terms of playing musical instruments, even Xiao Siqi can feel inferior, and if there is no musical instrument with a better player than Xiao Yao, then it can only be a new musical instrument invented by Xiao Yao himself in this world—hand disc.

The hand disc production company of Xiao Yao and Ake Robinson has not been established for a long time, and there are not many pieces of this musical instrument produced in total. Several singers and musicians who ordered hand discs from Xiao Yao at the backstage of Donghai Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party didn't take long to get their instruments, and they are still in the stage of learning. Xiao Siqi is considered to be the person who has owned this instrument for the second longest time. Even he himself dare not say that he has mastered it completely. He can play it perfectly in public performances, let alone other people. Therefore, apart from Xiao Yao, Xiao Siqi really has no better choice.

Since playing once at Donghai Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party this year, Xiao Yao has recorded a few hand-disc performance videos by himself and put them on the Internet. He has never performed publicly on other occasions. Other people who have this instrument include Xiao Siqi. Nei is still in the learning stage, and will not take it out for public performances, so this instrument has not really become popular yet. This is the second time that Xiao Yao has publicly played the handpan on a TV show, so it is normal that some people at the scene do not know this instrument.

Of course, the influence of Donghai Satellite TV's New Year's Eve party is not small. There are also people in the audience who have seen and remembered the musical instrument played by Xiao Yao, but they will not and have the opportunity to do science popularization for people who don't know it. So whether you know it or not, you can only temporarily suppress your surprise and curiosity about the instrument in Xiao Yao's hand, and focus on the father and son on the stage.

Xiao Yao raised his head to look at his father Xiao Siqi who was beside him, and Xiao Siqi also happened to lower his head to look at Xiao Yao who was playing. Both of them were smiling. Judging from the interaction of their eyes, they were not like father and son, but more like a pair of like-minded friends in music. When the director at the scene put the close-up shots of the two people's eyes captured by the camera on the big screen at the scene, the audience at the scene burst into applause again.

At the end of the interlude, Xiao Yao stopped fluttering his hands on the instrument, Xiao Siqi also ended his interaction with Xiao Yao, and began to sing the rest of the song. While singing, Xiao Siqi also walked to the front of the stage again, and the lights above the area where Xiao Yao was also dimmed again.

In the singing of the second half of the song, the ethereal voice of the hand disc will occasionally sound, cooperating with Xiao Siqi's singing, further bringing the feeling of emptiness and distance to the audience.

After the singing part was over, Xiao Siqi's performance was not over yet, and the ethereal voice of the hand disc was still ringing on the scene. Xiao Siqi also turned around again and walked towards the middle of the stage.

The lights above the middle of the stage came back on. Everyone was surprised to find that there was an extra chair next to Xiao Yao, and on it was another strange musical instrument in the shape of a flying saucer that Xiao Yao was playing.

"Could it be?" the audience thought excitedly.

Sure enough, Xiao Siqi inserted the microphone in his hand into a short microphone stand in front of the chair, and sat down on the chair with both hands holding the instrument. After Xiao Siqi sat down, he put the hand disc he was holding on his lap, stretched out his hands to tap on the hand disc, and started playing.

The sound of two ethereal hand discs sounded at the scene, and the audience felt even more special.

Both Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao were playing hand discs, and they both turned their heads to look at each other with smiles, but the movements of their hands were different. Judging from the proficiency, fluency, and frequency of the movements, it is obvious that Xiao Yao is the main player among the two, while Xiao Siqi is only assisting Xiao Yao in playing.

Even so, when the audience saw Xiao Siqi and Xiao Yao sitting side by side and playing the same musical instrument, performing such a beautiful performance on the same stage, they also let out a burst of excited exclamation and applause.
