Entertaining Children

When Xiao Yao returned to the backstage, Pei Minyi immediately greeted him with a smile all over his face: "Congratulations boss! It's a victory!"

"Let's play for a while!" Xiao Yao smiled and stuffed the trophy into Pei Minyi's hand, and asked as he walked quickly to the dressing room, "I have to change clothes quickly and get ready to go on stage, are the clothes ready? "The song Xiao Yao is going to sing is a folk song, and he feels that it is not appropriate to perform in a black formal suit, and he needs to change his clothes before going on stage.

"Don't worry, everything is ready, it's in the locker room!" Pei Minyi held the trophy and walked to the lounge with Xiao Yao, "Do you want me to change it?" Of course Pei Minyi would not go into the locker room with Xiao Yao, but Helping Xiao Yao untie the shoelaces and buttons can also save Xiao Yao some time. After spending so long in the studio of Yin Xi's studio, Pei Minyi also learned how to help models change clothes, which is now comparable to professional clothing assistants and styling assistants.

"No, although the time is relatively short, I'm not that nervous. Just help me guard the door of the dressing room so that no one can come in." Xiao Yao smiled.

The award ceremony is different from ordinary TV programs. The celebrity guests who are not on the show time are all sitting in the front audience to watch the awards. Only when the show is about to go on stage will they come to the makeup artist in advance to change their clothes and do styling. Therefore, the organizer did not prepare many lounges, but only arranged two dressing rooms with dressing rooms for the stars who are preparing to play to use in turn.

Xiao Yao changed clothes very quickly. In less than three minutes, Xiao Yao came out of the dressing room. His black formal attire changed into a gray T-shirt over a black and white checked cotton shirt, blue jeans, and black casual shoes. Rubbing his hair in front of the vanity mirror, fluffing up the originally exquisite hairstyle, Xiao Yao took the harmonica handed over by Pei Minyi, and walked quickly to the aisle behind the stage.

"It's fast enough! Wait a minute!" Seeing Xiao Yao appearing at the entrance of the passage, the live director turned around and praised Xiao Yao. !"

The live stage of the "Golden Disc" award this time is composed of a trapezoidal and a circular stage. The larger trapezoidal stage at the back is the performance stage, and a much smaller circular stage in front of the trapezoidal stage is the area where the host announces the curtain and awards. When the awards are being presented, the host will retreat to the edge of the big stage on both sides of the back, which is close to the audience.

Xiao Yao peeked around secretly, and found that the musicians and backing singers of the band had already appeared on stage, and he was the only one left among the performers. However, the musicians and staff of the band are still making preparations together, obviously they are not fully ready yet.

The preparations on the stage did not attract much attention from the audience, except that the light on the back stage was relatively dim, and it was also because everyone's attention was focused on the brightly lit small stage in front of the standing man holding the trophy. on the female singer speaking her acceptance speech behind a microphone. Xiao Yao recognized that it was a female folk singer named Shao Yun, who seemed to be the winner of the best folk album. Remembering that the female singer seemed to be around thirty years old, Xiao Yao touched his nose unnaturally.

"Okay, let's go on stage!" Seeing that Shao Yun had finished his acceptance speech, and the preparations on the stage had also been completed, the director at the exit of the passage handed the microphone in his hand to Xiao Yao, signaling Xiao Yao to go on stage.

The two award-presenting guests and the award-winning female singer did not need to return to the backstage. They walked off the small stage from the front and returned to their seats. Lu Ke also walked to the small stage from the side of the big stage at the back and introduced Said: "The winner of the best folk song just now will bring his performance to all of us!"

"Wow~" After hearing Lu Ke's introduction, the applause that had just stopped from the audience rang out again. Although the name was not mentioned directly, the winner of the best folk song just left the stage from the back a few minutes ago, and everyone knew that Lu Ke was referring to Xiao Yao.

"What he brought to everyone is an original new song, tonight is the first public performance!" Lu Ke continued.

"Oh~" Hearing that it was the premiere of the original new song, the applause and cheers from the audience increased a bit, and there were also some discussions on the scene and on the Internet.

"It's an original song again! It really is Xiao Yao's usual style!"

"It's the first live version again, yes, this is very Xiao Yao!"

"He said on the red carpet just now that he would sing a new song, I expected it!"

"I just don't know what song he will sing on this occasion."

"I bet it's a ballad."

"Just because he just won the best folk song? He has received a lot of nominations this year. How do you know he won't win other awards?"

"No, you didn't pay attention to what he said just now? He said that seven folk songs have been released, and after tonight there will be eight songs, which means that he must sing new folk songs tonight. Unless he has a performance later, otherwise this The song is definitely a ballad."

"It seems to be true! Is he going to book the Best Folk Song Award for next year?"

"Next, I invite Xiao Yao to bring his performance!" Lu Ke finally turned slightly behind him, raised his hand and pointed behind him, and stepped back quickly.

"Wow~" The lights above the big stage at the back turned on, and Xiao Yao, who had changed his clothes, appeared in front of the audience, and the audience cheered a little louder.

"Huh?" Amidst the cheers, there were also a few soft exclamations, "Isn't he singing folk songs? Where's his guitar? Why didn't he carry the guitar?"

So far, all the folk songs Xiao Yao sang live were playing and singing by himself holding the guitar. It seems that many viewers are used to Xiao Yao playing the guitar and singing folk songs.

After the lights on the rear stage were turned on, the scene on the stage also appeared on the big screen at the scene. However, in front of these pictures, there appeared six large white characters - "30-year-old woman".

"Is this the title of the song?" Many viewers understood, "Thirty-year-old woman? A song for a thirty-year-old woman?"

"As long as you can come back tomorrow." Before the music started, Xiao Yao raised the microphone in his left hand to his mouth, but instead of singing, he lowered his head and said helplessly in his tone made a monologue.

After saying this, Xiao Yao let go of the microphone handle with his left hand, and the microphone in his hand fell down. But before the audience could cry out in surprise, Xiao Yao closed his left hand again, pinching the grille on the head of the microphone with the lower half of his palm.

After the monologue, the guitarist in the band plucked the strings, and a burst of guitar sounded. Xiao Yao also raised his right hand to his mouth at the same time, and put his left hand holding the microphone grille together.

"Woo~" One bar later, the sound of the harmonica was added to the guitar sound in the prelude of the song. Only then did everyone understand that Xiao Yao was still holding a harmonica in his right hand, and deliberately held the microphone in his left hand to the position of the grille, in order to facilitate playing while holding the harmonica with both hands, so that the microphone could clearly receive the sound of the harmonica.

After the sound of the harmonica, the sound of the guitar alternately became the main body of the prelude. This unique combination gave the audience a very novel listening experience. In addition, the melody of this prelude was also very beautiful, and the audience was quickly fascinated by this Attracted by the prelude music, the scene quickly quieted down.

In addition to being attracted by the melody of the prelude, many audience members were fascinated by Xiao Yao's slightly lowered head, holding the harmonica and microphone in both hands on the big screen.

"Even if there is no guitar, he is still so handsome!" Many female stars and female audiences couldn't help clasping their hands together and sighed in their hearts.

In stage performances, Xiao Yao has only played the harmonica twice before, one time "Those Flowers" played by three instruments at the same time in "The Voice", and "When You Are Old" played by two instruments at the same time on "Singer". up". In those two times, Xiao Yao was still playing the guitar while playing the harmonica, so he couldn’t free his hands, so he played the harmonica on the harmonica stand and hung it around his neck. The audience had never seen Xiao Yao on the stage. The appearance of playing the harmonica alone.

Although there was a video of Xiao Yao playing the harmonica for the wounded in the medical tent in the disaster area last year on the Internet, Xiao Yao, who was sitting at the door of the tent playing the harmonica at that time, obviously couldn't match the current performance on the stage in terms of movements or expressions. Compared with Xiao Yao who only has a microphone, even without the iconic guitar on his back, Xiao Yao can always make the audience's eyes firmly fixed on him with this harmonica-playing shape alone.

"She's a thirty-year-old woman who hasn't been married yet~ Her smiling face has several ripples around her eyes~"

At the end of the prelude, Xiao Yao put down his right hand holding the harmonica, loosened the palm of his left hand, and squeezed it down, then pinched the handle of the microphone again, raised the microphone to his mouth and began to sing.

"I'm going, what is this singing about, a woman who is not married at the age of 30? Ripples? Wrinkles? Wrinkles at the age of 30? Why do you feel like you were stabbed at the beginning?" Many viewers were slightly stunned.

Because it was a new song, the big screen at the scene not only played the picture of Xiao Yao on the stage, but also simultaneously presented the lyrics of the song sung by Xiao Yao, even the line in Xiao Yao's monologue just now, "As long as you can come back tomorrow." "Just do it" was not missed, so the audience all knew very well what Xiao Yao was singing.

"Thirty years old~ The brilliance and passion have been polished by the years. Is the life of one person happier than two people?"

Xiao Yao's singing continued, but the eyes of many audience members began to change, especially those single young women who were around 30 years old or even over 30 years old.

"I like the tenderness unique to a thirty-year-old woman. I know that the loneliness in the middle of the night is unbearable~"

Xiao Yao sang softly, and the eyes and expressions of many older single young women at the scene also changed with the lyrics. When the first sentence came out, many people smiled knowingly, but when the second sentence came out, the smiles on those people's faces disappeared, and their eyes and expressions became dim.

"You said that at work, you have been busy for too long. Before you know it, it has been thirty years. Picky, rotate, you choose again and again~"

Xiao Yao on the stage swayed slightly from side to side, while many of the female audience listening to the song lowered their heads thoughtfully.

After this verse, the song comes to the interlude. Xiao Yao released his left hand again, pinching the grille of the microphone, and raised the harmonica in his right hand to his mouth again, and started playing the harmonica just like the prelude. The harmonica melody in the interlude is more complicated than the prelude, and Xiao Yao also showed more harmonica playing skills. It's just that at this time, except for some male audiences who stared and raised their eyebrows slightly, no female stars and female audiences were thinking about how handsome he looks when he plays the harmonica.

"She is a thirty-year-old woman who has not lost her figure~ Can such a woman retain a trace of innocence from back then?"

After the interlude, Xiao Yao's singing sounded again, and the heart-wrenching lyrics caught the eyes of many audiences again. The auditorium under the stage was unusually quiet, and even the ordinary audience of star fans in the back were completely silent, and all looked at Xiao Yao's singing on the stage with complicated eyes.

"But in this world~sometimes appearance is everything. But no matter how brilliant your appearance is, you can't stand aging~"

Xiao Yao's singing continued, but the harmonica in the accompaniment sounded again. It was another harmonica player in the band who started playing. After the melodious harmonica was added to the singing, it obviously made people feel low and graceful, but many girls in the audience unconsciously caressed their faces, wanting to shout to Xiao Yao on the stage, "Shut up, don't sing any more!" up!"

"I heard the sound of lonely heels and your laughter. You can just find someone to rely on!"

The female audience at the scene were completely moved by this song, and they asked themselves along with the lyrics sung by Xiao Yao in their hearts: "Can I really find someone to rely on?"

"So after the cold winter, before the hot summer, who will give you the same love as spring? After the sunset, the most beautiful, time has slipped away."

The structure of this song is slightly different, there is no standard chorus, but these two lines are added very smoothly after the verse of the second verse. And it is these two sentences that make many viewers feel extremely heartbroken.

"Tick dah~ dahhhhhhhhhhhhhh~~~~oh~~~~~" Two paragraphs later, Xiao Yao sang a seemingly impromptu humming with the accompaniment of the sound of a harmonica , in the last part of the humming of "Oh~", several harmony actors on the stage also joined in, and the live appeal of the whole song was a little bit stronger.

At this point in the song, many viewers have red eyes. Among them, not only female audiences in their thirties or above, but also young female audiences and male audiences can also feel the emotions expressed in the songs.

"At work, I have been busy for too long, and it has been thirty years before I know it. I am picky, I am in rotation, and you choose again and again~ Then after the cold winter, before the hot summer, who will give you the same love as spring? After the sunset, the most beautiful, Time has slipped by."

After a chorus of humming, the end of the first verse of the song and the last two lines of the second verse combine to form the final verse of the song. When he sang "You Choose Again and Again", Xiao Yao deliberately emphasized his tone, as if making people recall the whole song again.

"After sunset, the most beautiful one has slipped away~"

In the fading accompaniment, Xiao Yao sang the last line of the lyrics at a slower rhythm, and deliberately omitted the word "time", as if the most beautiful thing that slipped away was not just time.

"Yeah yeah~ oh~~~" After the accompaniment gradually lowered and the accompaniment finished singing "Slipped Away", the song didn't end, the accompaniment was strengthened again, Xiao Yao also started humming again amidst the sound of the harmonica. However, the humming didn't last too long this time, Xiao Yao took out the harmonica again, and finally ended the whole song and his performance with his own harmonica playing.

"Thank you everyone!" After the music stopped completely, Xiao Yao put down the harmonica and bowed to the audience.

There was no cheering at the scene, but including the celebrity guests in front, many audience members stood up from their seats, applauding Xiao Yao on the stage with red eyes. Although the lyrics sound very heart-wrenching and made many people's eyes red, it also shows that this song has sung to the hearts of these people and touched them greatly. Therefore, among the red-eyed standing ovation audience, there are also single female stars and female audiences in their thirties.
