While Xiao Yao was busy writing and recording songs for Chen Chen, Shen Yinan and Xiao Siqi were not idle either.

At the end of November, the selection of members of the "Women's Orchestra" was finally completed. Shen Yinan selected fifteen official members to form the basic configuration of an orchestra with one dulcimer, two guzhengs, four pipas, four flutes and four erhus. At the same time, I also have a lot of information on outstanding female folk musicians, as a resource for the orchestra's substitute members.

After the "Women's Orchestra" was established, the first task was to rehearse. On the one hand, it is to cultivate the tacit understanding among the members, and on the other hand, it is necessary to be familiar with this new performance form and to practice cooperation with modern Western musicians. According to Xiao Yao's design, the focus of this folk orchestra with the characteristics of a "visual orchestra" is not on the release of albums, but on live stage performances.

More than half of Xiao Siqi's new album for Fan Linxuan has been recorded. Xiao Siqi prepared a total of ten songs for Fan Linxuan, four of which were written by Xiao Siqi himself, two of which were Shen Yinan's works, and the remaining four were copyrights of new songs bought from creators other than other studios. Now seven of the ten songs have been recorded, and Xiao Siqi expects that Fan Linxuan's new album will release twelve songs, and the remaining two are the "homework" assigned to Xiao Yao.

The homework in Xiao Yao's school was either directly negotiated with the teacher for exemption based on his academic performance, or he had to finish it ahead of schedule. Since Xiao Yao didn't shirk the songwriting task assigned by Xiao Siqi, there was no reason for Xiao Siqi to remind him. So when Xiao Siqi asked, Xiao Yao handed in the homework with the song he wrote.

"Isn't this yo-yo love song inspired by the Kangding love song?" Xiao Siqi looked at the music score in his hand with a smile and said, "Isn't it something that came up when I saw them rehearsing the Kangding love song a few days ago?"

"It's about the same," Xiao Yao nodded, "The main reason is that I think that since we launched the Women's Band and Fan Linxuan's new album at about the same time, it's better to use some songs to connect them. I think the song "Water Town in Dream" is a bit lacking. That's why I made this song based on the Kangding love song. The soundtrack of this song is also folk music plus modern Western instruments, and it contains the lyrics of the Kangding love song. It is easy for the audience to think of the Kangding love song from this song, and then think of us from the women's band."

The yo-yo love song that Xiao Yao took out was the one sung by Karen Mok in his previous life, and the chorus part contained the complete lyrics of the Kangding love song. Although Fan Linxuan's voice is not as unique as Karen Mok's, but the voice can give people a lazy and fashionable taste, so singing this song is also suitable.

"What about this song? One is like summer and the other is like autumn. It has such a long title, and it's about the relationship between girls, right? When did you know so much about the relationship between women?"

"I have to thank my new assistant." Xiao Yao smiled, "On her first day on the job, she went online to read news and comments about me, and then told me that there was a hot post on my post bar. It was my fans who said I only wrote a song about dudes for guys and urged me to write them another song about dudes."

"Are you still a "proposition composition"?" Xiao Siqi said.

"Yeah," Xiao Yao nodded, "Since Fang Yiran told me, I asked about the story between her and her best friend, and then I went to Cheng Xi to chat about her and her best friend, and then I got This song. The title of this song is like summer and autumn is the original words that Fang still said.”

"I never imagined that you could write songs for you with an assistant," Xiao Siqi said with a smile, "If you know that's the case, you should have hired her to be your assistant a long time ago."

"It does have something to do with it," Xiao Yao said. Although it was a song from the previous life, if it wasn't for Fang Yiran's words, Xiao Yao would not be able to remember the song about girlfriends by Fan Fan and Fan Weiqi in the previous life. After all, Xiao Yao didn't have a deep impression of this female singer in his previous life.

"That is to say, during promotion, this song can be linked with your previous buddy? Of these two songs, one can be linked with girls' band and folk songs, and the other can be linked with your previous song. Brothers are connected, did you think about the direction of publicity when you wrote the song?" Xiao Siqi said with satisfaction, "It seems that you are also very concerned about Fan Linxuan's new album."

"I still need Fan Linxuan's help." Xiao Yao said, "Didn't the fans say that there are only buddies and no sisters? This one is for Fan Linxuan. I have another song called There is a kind of Nuannuan is called Sisters, and like Buddies, it contains rap songs and is intended for Chen Chen to release a rap single. There is also a female vocal part in this song, and I want Fan Linxuan to be in charge of this part."

Xiao Yao accepted Chen Chen's proposal with great interest. In order to come up with a song that fits what Chen Chen said about girls who rap like buddies, Xiao Yao searched his brains and remembered a song from the previous life Xinjiekou Group and Cui Zige that had a kind of warmth called sisters. In order to complete this electronic rap style song, Xiao Yao also deliberately went to understand and learn how to make electronic music.

"It's a good idea for the two of them to collaborate on a song, so that the three groups of newcomers we are going to release in the near future can all be connected with each other." Xiao Siqi said, "We can formulate some songs based on the connection between these songs. With a targeted publicity strategy, these three groups of newcomers can form a group effect when they come out together, allowing their fans to influence each other and create as many intersections as possible."

"But what about the score of your sister's song? Show me too." Xiao Siqi stretched out his hand again and said, "Why don't you add it to Fan Linxuan's album as well."

"Of course not," Xiao Yao immediately refused, "Fan Linxuan's album already has twelve songs, and Chen Chen only has two. For me, rap songs are more difficult to write, and I managed to come up with these two songs. You still want to take another song? I will make this song, you just need to lend me Fan Linxuan."

"Then you mean it's easier to write a song without rap?" Xiao Siqi said, "It's okay to borrow someone, but do you want to show it with another song?"

"Dad, are you threatening?" Xiao Yao rolled his eyes and said, "What kind of propaganda strategy did you just mention?"

"Putting the song on Fan Linxuan's album will not affect this mutual promotional strategy. Anyway, the cover of Fan Linxuan's album has not been filmed yet, and the number of songs has not yet been determined. Chen Chen can also release a single for a single song. Then I've listened to the first Yanjing native's demo, and just by this song, Chen Chen is enough to leave a deep impression on people." Xiao Siqi spread his hands a little rascally.

"You..." Xiao Yao rolled his eyes and said, "If I give you another song, will you lend me Fan Linxuan?"

"Of course." Xiao Siqi smiled and nodded.

In fact, even if Xiao Yao didn't release a single song, Xiao Siqi would not stop Fan Linxuan from recording for Xiao Yao as long as the work in the studio required it, but if there was a chance to squeeze out more from Xiao Yao, Xiao Siqi would also I will never let it go. Some time ago, Xiao Siqi kindly gave Xiao Yao a break from work, but Xiao Yao didn't expect that Xiao Yao started to take over the work by himself again. Since he has spare energy, it is better to let him do more. As Xiao Yao grew up, Xiao Siqi became more and more fond of all kinds of "making things difficult" for Xiao Yao.

"Okay, I just happen to have another song in stock. Since you want it, I'll write it to you now." Xiao Yao smiled.

The place where the father and son are now is Xiao Siqi's piano room at home. This kind of place where Xiao Siqi is engaged in music creation will never lack blank staves and pencils. Xiao Yao took the pen and paper, and after a few minutes, handed over a completed song, lyrics and score to Xiao Siqi.

"Song of pigs?" Xiao Siqi's eyes widened when he saw the title of the song, "You still write songs for pigs? Are you kidding me?"

"I made this by accident when I was hanging out with Duo'er last time. Although it's a bit unorthodox, it's still a complete song." Xiao Yao said with a smile.

Xiao Siqi read the lyrics of the whole song full of curiosity, then frowned and said: "It's a very fun and funny song, and it really fits your personality. This song is basically nothing to Fan Linxuan. It's difficult, but the style of this song is too different from her new album, so it can't be included in Fan Linxuan's new album."

"Then it's not my problem," Xiao Yao shrugged, "If you want a song, I'll give it to you. Remember to spare Fan Linxuan's time this Saturday and leave it to me."

"You just use this to get rid of me?" Xiao Siqi raised the paper in his hand and said.

"What's wrong with this song? Although it seems a bit playful and casual, if it is really published, it will definitely be a divine comedy that can be sung all over the streets." Xiao Yao couldn't help laughing, "Okay, just a reminder, it's not suitable for playing In the album, you can make an animation video as a game and release it. Fans will not position Fan Linxuan because of this song. Just like when I posted the lazy song video, it is purely for fun and to give fans a little fun .This can also add some affinity to Fan Linxuan."

"You say it's a game, so it's not a very formal song," Xiao Siqi said, "If that's the case, then you can work harder and help take pictures of Fan Linxuan's new album cover. Well, it would be even better if you can help with the overall cover design and post-production effects.”

"It's fine to take pictures, I have to do the cover design and post-effects of the photos? Is the studio empty?" Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Siqi and said.

"You are ys, an internationally renowned photographer, how can the contracted photographers in the studio compare to you?" Xiao Siqi said, "You also know Fan Linxuan, but we spent a lot of money to snatch the contract from others. That's why I'm so interested in her new album. If her new album doesn't do well, we'll be laughed at by others. It's about the studio's reputation in the industry and Dad's in the circle. Face problem."

If it weren't for Xiao Yao's casual words at the beginning, Xiao Siqi would not have spent so much effort and price to sign Fan Linxuan, so it was really hard for Xiao Yao to ignore Xiao Siqi's words for this sake. For taking pictures, as long as the preparations are done in advance, half a day is enough to get it done. As for the cover design and the post-production effects of the photos, Xiao Yao is not incapable of doing it. The cover design and post-production effects of Ye Jiaying's first and only album so far were all handled by Xiao Yao.

"Okay, anyway, I have to do the cover for Chen Chen's single, so I might as well do it together," Xiao Yao said ruthlessly, since he couldn't refuse, "A sheep is leading, but so is a herd of sheep." Hurry up. The Women’s Band will not be releasing an album for the time being, but they still have to take some promotional photos. They might as well take some photos for Chen Chen and Fan Linxuan for future use, whether it’s a photo album for personal encyclopedias or future promotions. I’ve been waiting too long I didn’t take pictures anymore, so I might as well take a good one at a time.”

"This is the best, Dad, I can't wait for it." Xiao Siqi was overjoyed immediately, and then he said with a little worry, "I'm going to launch them in the middle of next month. Is there time? You still have recording tasks, and you have to going to school."

"Chen Chen's song has already been recorded, and the remaining song with Fan Linxuan will be finished this Saturday. Taking photos, plus a weekend, a total of three days is enough." Xiao Yao said confidently, "At the beginning, I gave the country The members of the men’s basketball team take promotional photos. I can take pictures of three people in one night, and each person can produce more than a dozen qualified photos. Therefore, it should be enough for Fan Linxuan and Chen Chen to add up to one day. Although there are more people in the women’s band , but mainly group photos, three or five photos per person is enough, so three days should be enough to finish shooting.”

"However, I don't have so much time to do the preparatory work for this photo shoot." Xiao Yao continued, "The studio has to help me contact the venue, equipment, lighting engineer, sound engineer and other staff in advance. Clothing and styling I design it myself. I will give a list of clothing, and the studio can communicate with those clothing brands in my name based on the list, and help me get the clothing. The three newcomers and the combination of us are no better than the national men's basketball team. The team members are well-known, so there may be some expenses in terms of expenses, I don’t care about this, you find someone to take care of it.”

"No problem," Xiao Siqi said with an OK gesture, "You are the most professional in this area. In this matter, the manpower and material resources of the studio are at your disposal, and I can also follow your instructions."

"Okay, then I'll let you know after I make the design." Xiao Yao nodded.

When it came to the photo shoot for the national men's basketball team, Xiao Yao recalled the scene of eating supper with Sun Tingting that night, and he seemed to owe Sun Tingting a set of photos. At that time, Sun Tingting didn't want Xiao Yao to be too tired, so she rejected Xiao Yao's proposal to continue taking pictures of herself with the equipment and personnel used to shoot the national men's basketball team. Originally, he wanted to go to Xiao Yao's small studio to shoot after he finished taking pictures of the men's basketball players, but later because of Sun Tingting's cryptic confession, Xiao Yao deliberately pretended to be stupid and avoided Sun Tingting a little, so he promised her that the photos would also be taken. Still haven't shot.

Now that we are going to take pictures on a large scale again, why not take this opportunity to take advantage of the ready-made venue and equipment, and help Sun Tingting take a set of photos together to pay back the debt. To be continued.
