Entertaining Children

In the studio, after the opening remarks, Xiao Yao didn't chat with the audience anymore, and directly entered the next link according to the process. It was also a repertoire for himself as the host, and he quickly read the advertisements. ． The update is the fastest, counting Liang Xueying as the acting host, and the time when Xiao Yao made up for it in ancient costumes after the performance. As excited as the first time I heard it, after the commercial was over, the applause and cheers were generously given to Xiao Yao on stage.

Next, Xiao Yao began to follow the script written by the scriptwriter of the program group, and introduced step by step the repertoire to be sung by the singers. Although Xiao Yao revises the screenplay written by the screenwriter every time, most of them just revise his own introduction, and occasionally change the chatting and interaction with the audience at the beginning of the show. For other singers' introductions, Xiao Yao rarely moves.

More than half an hour later, the first four singers appeared on stage one by one to present their performances, and it was Xiao Yao's turn to be the fifth singer to appear.

"The next one to appear is the fifth contestant singer." After leading the audience to bid farewell to Tian Wei, who appeared fourth, Xiao Yao began to introduce the fifth singer.

"First of all, let me declare that the following remarks only represent personal opinions and have nothing to do with the position of the program group!" Xiao Yao did not introduce the song directly, but suddenly said this, and then began to comment on the next singer who appeared, "I personally I think the next singer to appear on the stage should be the weakest singer in this show."

"Huh?" Hearing Xiao Yao's comment, many audience members were subconsciously stunned, "Is it really good to publicly comment on other singers like this on the show, saying that they are the weakest? Although you are not afraid of offending people, But there's no need to deliberately offend people, right? Are you really crazy?"

"Unless" Many quick-response viewers immediately thought of a possibility.

Sure enough, what Xiao Yao said next made the audience suddenly realize.

"Why do you say that?" Xiao Yao continued: "Because I have read a lot of comments and comments from viewers on the Internet recently, saying that this singer has to play tricks in every episode of the show, it is because he can't sing well, I can’t sing well at all, I can only rely on those clothes, musical instruments and other things to grab attention and attract everyone’s attention, and rely on these off-the-chart tricks to win some extra audience votes, so I can always rely on this show. I think After reading these comments, I think it makes sense, so I also think this guy is weak, what do you think?"

"No!" Many audience members shook their heads and shouted.

Before the plagiarism incident came out, Xiao Yao's performance in the show was the most talked about on the Internet. Everyone has read these comments. When Xiao Yao said this, the audience at the scene immediately understood who he was talking about. Before yesterday's press conference, Xiao Yao had never publicly responded.

Unexpectedly, if he didn't talk about it, he would take it for granted. Once he said it, he not only angered the reporters at the press conference, but also brought this topic to the stage.

"No?" Xiao Yao smiled, and suddenly put on a disgusted expression and said to the audience in the audience, "You are not as knowledgeable as some netizens! Everyone has said that this show is called a singer, no It’s called a musician, and it’s not an opera show. Except for the episode of opera, what’s the matter with singing with an instrument on the stage every day? If you have the ability, don’t take any instrument, and sing honestly for the first episode , to see what you can sing!"

"Woo~" There was booing from the audience, and it was unknown whether it was some netizens who booed, or Xiao Yao on stage.

"Could it be that this time there are no tricks, no musical instruments, is he going to sing honestly?" Many audiences guessed in their hearts following Xiao Yao's words, and at the same time, there was a sense of disappointment in their hearts.

"So how did the singer respond?" Xiao Yao stretched out his hand and pointed to the side of the stage, "Look!"

The audience looked in the direction Xiao Yao pointed, and found that while Xiao Yao was speaking just now, the staff of the program group had already moved a black grand piano to the stage.

"He said, I just want to be a singer and a musician, you bite me?!" Xiao Yao said loudly.

"Ha!" The audience laughed and burst into warm applause.

"The next song, "I Want Us Together", is for everyone!" Xiao Yao finally announced the title of the song, turned around, walked to the piano and sat down, and put the microphone in his hand on the microphone stand next to him Top it up.

In this performance, Xiao Yao did not nod to the band conductor Liu Tong. He exhaled lightly, and stretched out his hands to play directly on the piano keys. God-level loyal dog can't get rid of

As soon as the piano prelude sounded, the eyes of many audience members brightened. It’s not that the prelude melody in these few seconds is amazing or catchy, but judging from the prelude melody and Xiao Yao’s state of expression through movements when playing, it feels that this is a song similar to Xiao Yao’s previous works. Songs with very different styles, at first glance, it sounds a bit like jazz casually. And when the prelude ended and Xiao Yao began to sing, this feeling became even stronger.

"The wind blows my face, my hands, my hair, my heart, and my eyes from far away~

You stay far away in that city, that road, that room, that light, that window~"

"Wow~" Just the first two sentences, Xiao Yao made the audience in the audience let out a burst of exclamation.

With the performance of reciting the commercials so many times before, the audience was not surprised that Xiao Yao could sing these two unusually long sentences, but it is very strange to write a song like this and sing it like this. It was beyond their expectations.

"This is a jazz song, it sounds so good!" Wei Shile said while watching the live TV.

"My dear, is this little guy playing jazz again?" Hong Wei, who was sitting next to him, even changed his exclamation, turned to look at Xiao Siqi on the other side, and said, "Old Xiao, your son can even play jazz? In my impression, it seems that you have never written a jazz song, have you?"

Xiao Yao is the fifth to appear on the stage. Now, except for Liang Xueying who is sixth and Hua Xiaoyun who is seventh, the first four singers who have finished singing have all returned to the rest hall to watch the live broadcast of the singers behind.

"It's also the first time I've heard a jazz song written by him." Xiao Siqi laughed, "I haven't written a jazz song, but it doesn't mean he can't write it. I haven't written a rap song yet. Look at him How many rap songs have you written? His music style is more complex than mine, no, it is much richer. He said that his style is no style, and he will try any style and genre. His basic music theory knowledge and composition are all I taught it, but in terms of musical style, I have always been influenced by him."

"I remember you used to close your eyes and hug me as if I was your face, smiling~

I don't know how to smile at you, cry at you, and ignore you like a machine~"

On the stage in the studio, after Xiao Yao sang the four lines of the first verse, the song did not enter the chorus, but another verse with the same melody and long-sentence lyrics.

At the end of the second verse, the audience who could see the teleprompter had already heard that this is a sad love song with a slightly decadent atmosphere. After so many episodes of the show, everyone is not too surprised that Xiao Yao wrote this type of song. What surprised the audience is the strong jazz style in Xiao Yao's song. In the impression of the audience, Xiao Yao has played folk songs, rock, r\u0026b, hip-hop, and even opera. jazz? This seems to be the first time.

In addition to the surprise brought by the style of this song to the audience, the audience also discovered that Xiao Yao's performance today is also different. It is not the first time that Xiao Yao has played and sung on the piano on stage, but whether it is the song "Now" or the song "Red Rose", Xiao Yao's piano performance is not consistent throughout, nor does it last for a long time. Take the piano as the only soundtrack. But this time, Xiao Yao sat quietly in front of the piano, and sang the entire two previous verses with the accompaniment of the piano he played.

This song "I Want Us Together" is a representative work created by Li Quan in his previous life for Fan Xiaoxuan's transformation. Li Quan studied piano since he was a child, and also majored in piano in the Conservatory of Music. In his works, the piano has always played a dominant role in the soundtrack, and it is also the biggest feature of the soundtrack arrangement. In this jazz-style song, the piano also occupies a dominant position, with very distinctive features.

The piano sound in this song is already very attractive. This pure piano accompaniment without the interruption of other instruments made the audience concentrate on Xiao Yao. In addition to being amazed by Xiao Yao's rare jazz style and singing voice, Xiao Yao's free and easy piano performance also impressed the audience.

"I'll go, Xiao Yao is too slick at playing the piano!"

"Looking at his state, playing the piano is almost like playing!"

Many audience members sighed in their hearts.

When I saw Xiao Yao’s piano performance on stage the previous two times, it was obvious that the piano playing was just an auxiliary in the song performance. Self-singing" and so on, at most, he expressed his surprise at his age and his ability to play. As for how he played, most of the audience felt that it was not much different from many singers who played the piano while singing. Stunning agent crossing: the overbearing king after Shura

But this time, such a long piano solo soundtrack gave the audience a different feeling. This kind of jazz style that feels very casual, and Xiao Yao's performance on the spot made many people immediately distinguish Xiao Yao from other singers who performed piano performances in concerts or TV shows. open. I think this is the kind of performance that can be held alone at the level of a piano recital.

Although Xiao Yao did give a piano recital for more than half an hour in the program, and the singers had already seen his piano skills, but due to the time limit of the program, such tidbits could be broadcast on TV. What the audience can see is only tens of seconds of clips. For many audiences, this is the first time they have experienced the concert-level piano performance on the singer's stage.

Even those singers who had heard Xiao Yao's private piano recital were a little surprised at the moment. However, what surprised them was not Xiao Yao's piano playing skills, but Xiao Yao's song.

"I see!" Tian Wei suddenly patted her hands and shouted.

"What do you know?" Hong Wei looked at Tian Wei and said, "What are you doing, you're so surprised?"

"During a break in my rehearsal, I heard the musicians in the band chatting that Xiao Yao had changed songs in the middle of this competition, and now I know why!" Tian Wei said, "The piano in this song is really too sweet. It's brilliant, he deliberately used this method to respond to the accusations on the Internet that he plagiarized other people's piano music! It turned out that it was just a development conference, telling everyone that he is Y is not enough, he also needs to use works and actions on the stage to further improve prove yourself!"

"Really?" Hong Wei looked at Xiao Siqi, "Don't tell me that he wrote this song after the plagiarism incident came out?"

"Don't look at me, and don't ask me!" Xiao Siqi spread his hands, "I don't even know about his song change midway. We don't ask each other what song the other is singing."

"Hey, I said you father and son, what's the matter?" Hong Wei rolled his eyes and said.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh~

You said you said we want to be together~"

Entering the chorus part of the song, the soundtrack finally added the sound of drums and other instruments.

It's not that Xiao Yao didn't think that the whole song would be completed with the accompaniment of a single piano. In his previous life, Li Quan himself had a version of this song with pure piano accompaniment, and it's not that Xiao Yao himself couldn't play like this. But considering that this is a competition scene after all, instead of just playing casually in the recording studio, you still need to consider the audio-visual experience and appreciation needs of the audience, so Xiao Yao still adopted Fan Xiaoxuan's version of the soundtrack, in the chorus part The accompaniment of drums, accordion, viola, violin and other instruments was added to enrich the expressiveness of this song during live performance.

But even with the addition of other instruments, the main soundtrack of this song is still the piano played by Xiao Yao.

This song is a relatively rare structure with two consecutive verses followed by three consecutive choruses. There is a relatively long interlude between the first chorus and the second chorus. In this interlude, whether it is the characteristic long accordion performance in the first half, or the snare drum in the first half of the drum kit in the second half and the ensemble of accordion, violin and drum kit in the second half, there is no pressure at all. the sound of the piano. The piano has always been the most recognizable and characteristic accompaniment instrument throughout this song. Xiao Yao also never left the piano bench under his buttocks from the beginning to the end, and he performed the piano part of the whole song by himself throughout the whole process.

"It's not like now, I can only sing about you from afar~"

Among the three choruses, the first two are exactly the same, and the third chorus at the end, except that "Life is effortless" has been changed to "Loving you is effortless", only added this very A sad sentence.

After singing the last line, Xiao Yao raised his head slightly, left the microphone in front of him, closed his eyes and played the ensemble with the accordion at the end of the song.

"Xiao Yao!"

"Xiao Yao!"

When the piano sound of the last note dissipated and Xiao Yao retracted his hands to his knees, many audience members couldn't wait to stand up from their seats, raised their hands and shouted loudly while clapping. This time, no one in the excited audience yelled y on purpose, they all yelled his real name Xiao Yao.
