Entertaining Children

"Seeing your smile makes my heart warmer and stronger~"

"Strong~"

In the second sentence of Xiao Yao's solo, Liang Xueying still sang the "strong" at the end of the sentence, but the difference from the previous sentence is that Liang Xueying did not sing along this time, but sang with Xiao Yao at the same time, and performed a chorus .

"Because of having you by my side, I believe in those tears, and sometimes~ I will shed for happiness!"

"Because there is love, in the heart, there is also sunshine in the dark night, lighting up the whole~grey city~"

And when the song entered the chorus, not only the chorus of Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying in the front, but also the student choir in the back joined in and sang in unison. The momentum and appeal of the whole song also instantly improved a lot.

After the chorus part, there was an interlude in the song, and Xiao Yao also picked up the electric guitar he was carrying in front of him without any scruples, and played a short section of calm and cool electric guitar solo.

"When I met you, hope grew between us. Just like that building that is being built. One day, it will become our shoulders to rely on."

In the second verse of the song, the solo in the first half was replaced by Xiao Yao, still playing and singing by himself while playing the guitar.

"A sad song, if you sing it once, forget it. People who have never cried don't know how to appreciate it. Flaws in life are sometimes a kind of strength~"

In the second half of the second verse, it was not Liang Xueying's solo, but Liang Xueying's lead singer, and Xiao Yao, who was playing the guitar, echoed softly and helped her sing along.

"Because you are by my side"

"Ah~"

After the second verse, the song enters the chorus again. The chorus of this song is the same, but the performance of the second chorus is different from the first chorus. The second chorus is still the chorus of Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying, and the chorus behind also joined in again, but the chorus behind did not sing the lyrics of the chorus, but hummed for the chorus of the two Accompaniment was sung.

"Ah~"

"Because you are by my side"

After the second chorus was over, another repeated chorus followed. This time, the two lead singers in front and the chorus behind were switched again, and the chorus sang, with Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying humming. .

In the previous period, the choir was strictly an accompaniment to enhance their singing.

But after this exchange, the bright spot is not the choir behind, but still them, because their humming is not as regular as the accompaniment of the choir in front, but has various rising and falling notes in it. The sound transfer not only showed the musical skills of the two professional singers, but also made the singing of the choir behind them a foil for their humming.

"La~la hey~"

After repeating the chorus twice in a row, the ending stage of the song was still the melody of the chorus, but this time it was replaced by the humming of everyone on the field. Some of the humming shows more singing skills.

Although it is a song with a relatively simple melody and structure, and there are no particularly intense and shocking high notes in it, Xiao Yao has played a lot of tricks in the arrangement of the composition and soundtrack and the arrangement of the performance. Compared with the previous inspirational public welfare songs, this song, which was not a public welfare song, is much more popular in terms of popularity. In addition, Xiao Yao's special arrangements for composing, soundtracking and singing also make it more popular. This song became the most enjoyable and most listenable program in the whole party.

However, during the performance of Xiao Yao's song, the most attractive thing was not the special arrangement of Xiao Yao's song arrangement, soundtrack and singing. Although most of the audience enjoyed listening to Xiao Yao's song, but Their attention was all attracted by the big screen at the scene. Boundless song

For most of the first half of the show, the live big screen and the performance on the stage were basically separated. Whether it is a singing program or a recitation program, during the performance of the program, only a few lines of the theme of the party are displayed on the big screen at the scene, and in the gap between the programs, there are videos on the big screen. . While Xiao Yao, Liang Xueying and the choir were singing, instead of the subtitles of the party theme displayed on the big screen at the scene, many photos were played like a slide show.

These photos are black and white, and some are in color, and the subject and content of the shooting are a bit mixed, but without exception, it is easy to see that they are photos of the rescue scene in the disaster area. Most of them are rescuers such as search and rescue teams and first responders as the protagonists, some are disaster-stricken and rescued people as the protagonists, and some are simply taking environmental photos of some collapsed houses or mountains in the disaster area.

Up to now, the party has played many videos on the big screen, but it is the first time to show photos. Although the subject and content of these photos seem to be complicated, every photo that appears can be linked to the lyrics of the song being performed on the stage. The lyrics sung by Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying happened to be the footnotes of these photos. The audience looked at the photos and listened to the two singers and the choir singing on the stage, as if they had watched a documentary with a soundtrack, and they were no less shocked than those videos with rich voices just now.

Last year, there was a very popular MV called "Songs Not For Whom", which was made of some real videos released on the Internet with songs. It felt like a public welfare documentary to the audience. The TV station intercepted the clip of the MV and played it on TV as a public service promotional video. Last year's Spring Festival Gala, the MV was also moved to the Spring Festival Gala stage in the form of live performances by singers and the video content in the MV played on the big screen on the stage. The form of performance now is very similar to that at that time, the only difference is that the video is replaced by photos.

The songwriter of that song was Xiao Yao, and the producer of that MV was also Xiao Yao. Although Xiao Yao didn’t design the show on the Spring Festival Gala, the original MV that used popular songs and live videos was Xiao Yao’s idea. The Spring Festival Gala program group just put the music part of the MV on the live stage and restored the MV. The song being performed on the stage is also Xiao Yao's original new song, so is the whole performance also written by Xiao Yao?

Whether it's "The Voice" or "Singer", the program team has revealed more than once that Xiao Yao's live performance is the overall stage effect designed by himself, and he obviously has the ability in this regard. Seeing this kind of public welfare documentary-style performance in the same strain as "Song Not For Whom", many people tend to believe that this performance is also Xiao Yao's own creativity.

Why can a young rookie star like Xiao Yao get the same chance to perform solo as a national treasure singer when there are so many big-name senior singers present? Many people think that in addition to the fact that he has done many things in the disaster area, this ability to design stage performances for himself should also be one of the important reasons.

As for the source of those photos, most people think that Xiao Yao should have collected them from the Internet or news media reports. Xiao Yao found all eight videos in the previous MV of "A Song For No One" from the Internet. Now that the earthquake has just passed, there are a lot of related photos on the Internet and in the media. Xiao Yao will definitely collect them. It's a lot easier than finding videos when making that MV. But as the performance of this show progressed, everyone found that this did not seem to be the case.

When the performance of this song was more than halfway through, the audience suddenly discovered that none of the photos seemed to have been seen on the Internet or news reports. Few people have watched all the eight videos in that MV, but at least they have an impression of one or two of them. In the same way, if these photos are collected from the Internet and media reports, it is possible that one or two have not been seen. After all, it is impossible for anyone to see all the photos published on the Internet and media, but the song More than halfway through, the audience didn't see a familiar photo, which was a little strange. You must know that these photos give people a strong sense of shock. They are obviously the works of professional photographers, and they cannot be taken by just anyone with a mobile phone.

Reminiscent of what Guo Xiaohua said in the interview just now, he was curious about what the photos taken by Xiao Yao looked like. Xiao Yao said that he had the opportunity to show everyone. Then Xiao Yao showed so many rescues that no one had seen before on the big screen during Xiao Yao’s performance. Looking at the photos on the scene, many people naturally made a bold guess: "These photos were all taken by Xiao Yao himself, right?"

With this idea, the audience's sense of surprise was even greater. drunkenness

Xiao Yao has already disclosed his identity as a photographer, but in addition to some sporadic album cover photos he has taken in China, several relatively large-scale photography projects can be counted. Far away is the group of promotional photos taken for the national men's basketball team a few years ago, and the near one is the promotional photo taken for Tu Yiyuan, a star player of the "Ancient Poetry Conference" earlier this year, and the "Li Qingzhao" also featuring Tu Yiyuan as the protagonist. static movie. Like the sporadic album cover shots, these are all studio photography.

In the eyes of the public, Xiao Yao may be regarded as a very powerful fashion photographer, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an international fashion photographer. But no matter how good he is, he is just a fashion photographer who is good at studio shooting. Fashion photographers are not the same as factual photojournalists. As for the photos released on the big screen, many of them can be directly used to participate in this year's On-site Photojournalism Award, which is not something that any fashion photographer who is accustomed to shooting in a studio can do.

Will Xiao Yao be an on-site photographer who can take so many shocking photos? Many people can't believe it!

As the singing by Xiao Yao, Liang Xueying and the following choir ended, all the photos on the big screen at the scene were also played. When all the music at the scene disappeared, the last photo on the big screen faded away, and a few lines of white words appeared on the darkened screen.

"Because I have you by my side, I believe that tears sometimes flow for happiness! Because there is love in my heart, and there is sunshine in the dark night to light up the whole gray city!——

To all the rescuers in the earthquake disaster in Wuyou County. "

The appearance of the same sentence as the chorus of the lyrics not only means that Xiao Yao’s song is written for all rescuers in rescue operations, but also seems to indicate that the design of the entire program is indeed written by Xiao Yao. So were those photos taken by Xiao Yao?

After the show ended, Xiao Yao and Liang Xueying bowed to the audience and left the stage with the choir members behind them, but the two hosts who appeared later gave everyone the answer.

After Xiao Yao and others left, the hosts who appeared on the stage were not Luo Bin and Guo Xiaohua who had just interviewed Xiao Yao, but replaced by two other hosts, Mo Lai and Sun Bo. Although the host has changed, what they said is still related to Xiao Yao.

"Thank you Xiao Yao, Liang Xueying, and the students in the choir for the wonderful performance just now." After thanking all the performers on the stage, the host Sun Bo mentioned Xiao Yao separately, "I also especially thank Xiao Yao for being here Here are the photos he took at the rescue site, which moved us a lot.”

"Now I know why Xiao Yao can become a contracted photographer and photojournalist for those two foreign media at such a young age," Morley continued, "Thank you for recording so many touching moments with your camera."

"What? Those photos were really taken by Xiao Yao himself?"

"Yeah, no wonder Xiao Yao was able to become a contracted photographer and photojournalist for two foreign media outlets. Isn't this guy too monstrous?"

As soon as the two hosts said their words, the audience, including those big leaders, showed shocked expressions. There was also the warmest applause since the party started.

After the applause given to Xiao Yao by the audience gradually fell, the two hosts did not continue to talk about Xiao Yao, but began to introduce the next program.

Xiao Yao's appearance was in the second half of the whole party. After his and Liang Xueying's performance, there were still seven or eight programs behind, and there was no shortage of big-name stars. But whether it was a chorus show with big-name stars or a solo performance by an old national treasure artist, it seemed that Xiao Yao's show was not as attractive and moving as it was.

The CCTV disaster relief show lasted nearly four hours, and the results were very good. During the evening, the hotlines for fundraising announced by the host almost never stopped. According to statistics, this gala raised a total of more than 1.73 billion donations, and also created a new record for the amount of funds raised by various disaster relief galas these days.
