Entertaining Children

"Ah?" Azi was a little dumbfounded, and was speechless for a while.

Xiao Yao was not in a hurry to leave at the moment, picked up a fork to fork a piece of dessert in front of him, and ate it leisurely, only occasionally smiling and looking up at Azi.

"I don't think it matters," A Zi thought for a while, and seemed to have finally found a reason for himself, looked up at Xiao Yao and said, "I just don't want to lie to you again, I told you my real name, at most it was accidentally By the way, I said my brother's name. I didn't say my dad's name first, but you guessed it yourself, I just admitted it. "

"Is there any difference between saying your brother's name and your father's name?" Xiao Yao smiled, "I don't mind playing this kind of word games. Will your father accept your statement?"

"Well, even if I revealed my family background to you, we have to look at the essence through the appearance." Azi seemed to have considered the rhetoric, and then said, "The name is just an appearance, my father won't let me tell I am his daughter for others, and the essence is that I don’t want others to be affected by his status and take extra care of me. For you, I don’t think my dad has much influence in your heart. You have no intersection with him, and you don’t need to ask He showed his favor, even if you help me, it won't be because of my dad's influence, so even if you know that I'm his daughter, it doesn't actually violate the agreement between me and my dad."

"It's just that I don't have any contact with your father now, how do you know that I won't in the future? How do you know that I don't need to show favor to him?" Xiao Yao laughed, "He is a famous master, and his connections are very tough! "

"He only talks about cross talk, even if he is a master, it has nothing to do with you as a singer." A Zi said, "You don't need to show favor to him at all."

"According to what you said, those record companies make music, and there is no need to show affection to your father, a cross talk master." Xiao Yao said, "But why did you vote for a DEMO to the record company under the stage name "A Zi"?" ? You actually know in your heart that if you say you are Zhang Baoqing's daughter, the record company is more likely to take a fancy to you. This is the basis of the agreement between you and your father."

"But you are different from the record company." A Zi said, "The record company has many singers and needs many performance opportunities. More or less, they will meet with my dad and other folks in the music industry, and more or less they will need their help. Unlike you, you don’t need anyone’s help at all. Although on the surface, you have the backing of your parents’ studio, but with your ability, even if you don’t have a studio at home, you can still have the current one. Achievements. You got the role of "Chengying" through interviews, and you won the Oscar entirely on your own. With your performance on "The Voice", any record company wants to sign you. Why is your agent now No? Because you have always chosen the job, not the job to pick you!"

"Okay," Xiao Yao waved his hand, "Even if I can ignore your father's influence, why should I help you?"

"My so pious dream of a singer,

Doesn't it impress you a little bit? "A Zi tilted his head, clasped his hands in front of him and said.

"Hey~ You can really say anything? This is not the scene of a talent show!" Xiao Yao stared.

"As you said, this is not a talent show!" A Zi sat upright and said, "On the talent show, many contestants' stories are made up, but what I said is true, why can't I tell it? ? If I really want to sell it badly, I will go to the talent show and cry."

"This is a way, haven't you tried it?" Xiao Yao smiled.

"Let's not talk about the effect of going to the talent show to sell miserably," A Zi pouted, "If I really do this, my family background will definitely be dug up by gossip reporters soon. The promise is that I must lose."

"Yes." Xiao Yao nodded.

"I think you are not only very capable, but also a person who is willing to help people realize their dreams," Azi said seriously, "so it is the most correct choice to find you."

"Willing to help people realize their dreams?" Xiao Yao shook his head and laughed, "Do I have to agree to whoever comes to me to help realize their dreams? I'm not a Bodhisattva in the temple, even if I am a Bodhisattva in the temple, I don't respond to requests."

"Although you are not a Bodhisattva, you are an angel!" A Zi laughed, "Didn't the friends of the water say that you are the angel of Lajie? I have thought about it more than once, why was the outdoor live broadcast next to the food stall by the river that day Sister La is the one who sings, not me! I haven’t responded to the invitation email I sent you, and my work call was blocked by your agent. If I don’t know your address, I would like to learn "Cheng Menli" Xue "Just stood in front of your house like that."

"Xiaomen Lixue? Be careful that I'll arrest you as a bastard." Xiao Yao was taken aback.

"What are you afraid of? Wasn't your manager caught by you?" A Zi smiled, "Maybe he was caught once, and he can join your private team."

"It's because you don't understand our story clearly enough." Xiao Yao said.

"Just kidding," A Zi said, "I have done research on your situation."

"It's true that you can't help everyone, but as long as you meet, most of them will be able to make a move." A Zi continued, "I read a report that told the story of you and Cheng Xi. Back then you You joined the dance team of Cheng Xi and Chen Chen, and specially choreographed a dance for them, just to help them win the chance to sign a contract with your studio. At first you just touched her ice cream when you got off the car and got married to her. She knew her, and you lost one to her at that time, and you didn't owe her anything at all. But after you got to know her, you still tried your best to help her. "

In one episode of the "Singer" program during the summer vacation, Xiao Yao invited Cheng Xi to dance. In the daily tidbits of that issue, there was an interview process with the filming director Mei Fang, and Cheng Xi also told Mei Fang in detail how he and Xiao Yao got acquainted. Later, only a part of the clip was shown on TV, but this experience still aroused the interest of many people. Not only did an ice cream brand ask Cheng Xi to endorse and shoot an advertisement as Xiao Yao expected, but also the media asked Cheng Xi for an exclusive interview. Talked about this matter, and reported it in detail.

"But it's not that I've gained nothing," Xiao Yao said, "I helped Cheng Xi and Chen Chen choreograph, and they taught me to dance, rap, and do graffiti. I also helped Sister La and Yiyi to write songs, also because They helped me gain popularity by making room rounds when I was live-streaming under an alias, and Sister La also taught me how to live-stream and how to interact with water friends. If I help you, what good will I do?"

"First, don't talk about money!" Xiao Yao raised two fingers and said, "Let's not talk about whether I lack money or not. You don't have a big record to help you announce, so our partnership must be split, not Buy out the copyright. The more I earn, the more you earn. Under this model, whether it is Fan Linxuan, Gong Chen, Sister La, Yiyi from my studio, they all have an advantage over you. Second, don’t Let’s talk about the live broadcast. Not to mention whether I will go to "Kirin" to broadcast live, even if I go, it is impossible to broadcast anonymously again, and you have no influence on me even the ward rounds."

"I~" Ah Zi hesitated for a moment, then blurted out suddenly, "I can teach you how to say cross talk!"

"Huh?" Xiao Yao was stunned.

"Although I don't like to talk about cross talk, and my level is average, after all, I grew up in a family of cross talk, and I know all about cross talk!" Azi said, "I have seen your performance as the host on "Singer". You Words are very powerful, and many professional cross talk actors may not be able to speak at the speed of your commercials, but cross talk is not just about lip service, there are many ways in it, if you want to know, I will I can teach you."

"This~" Xiao Yao fell silent.

Seeing that Xiao Yao seemed to be moved, Ah Zi immediately hit the rails while it was hot: "I only want to be a singer, but you are different. You are not only a singer and actor, but also a photographer. You have written poems, participated in American hip-hop competitions, and done As a screenwriter, once a director, and now a network anchor, don’t you think about going to the folk art world and trying to talk about cross talk?”

"You are a famous genius, and your creative ability is beyond words." A Zi continued, "You wrote the songs you sang, you made up the dances yourself, and you wrote the scripts for the short films you directed. I believe as long as you You have learned the basics of cross talk, and it is not difficult to create a cross talk book yourself. In this way, if you want to go to the cross talk world in the future, you don’t need the support of my dad and others. You can also get the opportunity by yourself. Famous for playing!"

"You're right, I am indeed interested in this area." Xiao Yao nodded, and then asked, "Then do I need to be a teacher?"

Xiao Yao's goal in life is to play in various ways, and it is indeed a very attractive proposal for him to get involved in the traditional folk art world. However, the traditional folk art world has strict rules, and the master-student relationship is a very serious relationship, which is not much worse than the master-student relationship in the martial arts world. If he really had to kowtow and offer tea to the girl in front of him who was no older than him to be a master to learn cross talk, Xiao Yao couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.

"Apprenticeship? You worship me as a teacher? Of course not!" A Zi immediately shook his head and said, "I will tell you anything you want to know about cross talk, but don't say that I am not qualified to accept you as an apprentice. It will make you my father's disciple, and make my father proud!"

"But when it comes to apprenticeship~" Azi looked at Xiao Yao and said, "In terms of music, you are definitely qualified to be my teacher. I would like to recognize you as a teacher, but I don't know if you would accept me as my teacher." student?"

"What? I'll take you in as a student?" Xiao Yao laughed.

"That's right," Azi said, ""There is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher". Although I am a few years older than you, but with your current achievements in music, I think I can be your student. Nothing is impossible."

"Let's talk about the matter of recruiting students," Xiao Yao put the matter aside and asked Azi, "The conditions you agreed with your dad just now are the signing of the company, going to the Spring Festival Gala, single score, The number of fans and the number of website and radio subscriptions must be met at the same time, or only one of the conditions must be met? Also, you said that you and your father agreed on a period of three years, how long has it been?"

As a reborn time traveler, Xiao Yao really has a bit of God mentality of "helping those around him realize their dreams as much as possible". Leaving aside his identity as the second-generation star and the third-generation star, Xiao Yao didn't mind throwing out a few songs to help her when he told Azi so much while sitting here tonight. Now that Azi is talking about teaching him to speak cross talk, Xiao Yao doesn't want to write her a few songs to dismiss her, but wants to try his best to make her reach that bet-like agreement.

It is not too difficult for Xiao Yao to achieve single results and the number of fans, but Xiao Yao is not so confident about the Spring Festival Gala and the signing company. Anyone who wants to go to the Spring Festival Gala can go there, record company, let alone his studio is not a record company, even if it is, he doesn't want to involve his parents.

"The number of Weibo fans and the number of website and radio station subscriptions are one condition. There are four in total. As long as three of them are met." A Zi knew that Xiao Yao had at least agreed to write a song for himself, and immediately replied happily, "As for the time?" , We made this agreement after I graduated from university, I first wandered around for half a year, and worked as a network anchor for a year, and now I have one and a half years left."

"Okay, I see." Xiao Yao said noncommittally, "Just wait for my news!"

"Wait for the news? You still have to think about it?" Azi said anxiously, with the smile disappearing on his face.

"First of all, I am not Sherlock Holmes. To be on the safe side, I will find a way to verify everything you said tonight. Don't worry, I will not let your father know that I know you are his daughter during the verification process." Xiao Yao said.

"What I said is true, I'm not afraid of you to verify it." Azi said confidently.

"I basically believe it, just to be on the safe side." Xiao Yao nodded, and continued, "Secondly, it's easy for me to write three songs for you, and it's not even difficult for me to record three songs for you, but I There is no guarantee that you will be able to meet three of the four conditions agreed with your father if you have three of my songs. Whether it really makes your father have nothing to say, or for your future development in the music world, I also It takes time to think about how to help you plan.”

"No matter what, I will contact you again!" Xiao Yao took out a business card and pushed it over, "If you are worried, this is my private phone number, and you can call me too!"

"Okay, I'll wait for your news!" A Zi put away his business card and said.

"By the way, where do you live now?" Xiao Yao asked again, "I'm asking which city you live in now, which is not available on the Internet. If all goes well, I may ask you to go to my recording studio during the New Year's Day holiday Audition, if you don't live in Shanghai, you may have to make another trip to Shanghai in the near future."

"I live in Jiangcheng now. I will stay in a hotel in Shencheng for the past few days, and I will come to Shanghai for a vacation. If you want to find me, you can call me at any time, and I will be there whenever you want "Azi said, "I rent a house in Jiangcheng. If necessary, I can move to Shencheng to settle down at any time. Anyway, my main business is live broadcasting now, so it doesn't matter which city I live in."

"It's better to be in Shanghai these days, it's more convenient." Xiao Yao said, "As for the matter of moving, we'll see it later, and you decide for yourself."

"Okay!" A Zi, who was completely relaxed, picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip.

When he put down the coffee cup, he saw the dessert in front of him, and Azi, who was interested in chatting, pointed to the dessert in front of Xiao Yao and asked, "Do you know the meaning of the dessert "Tiramisu"?"

"I understand Italian." Xiao Yao nodded.

"Ah~ I forgot that you not only know a lot of foreign languages, but also a "walking encyclopedia"." Azi covered her mouth in embarrassment.

"But I'd still like to hear you explain it to me." Xiao Yao said in a very face-saving way.

"Okay, then I'll show off in front of your "encyclopedia"." A Zi said, "In Italian, "Tiramisu" means to take me away immediately. You clicked this after you came in, yes Didn't it indicate that I'm destined to hang out with you in the future?"

"Tonight is my treat," Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, "I treat you to eat tiramisu, that means I say "Tiramisu" to you and ask you to take me away, which means I will hang out with you in the future. Don't forget that you promised to teach me cross talk."

"If you want to say that, then I have to treat you tonight." Azi said, then turned to wave to the waiter, "Waiter, pay the bill!"

"It must be me who is following you!" Azi turned her head and stared at Xiao Yao and said, "Don't mention your gentlemanly demeanor at this time!"
