Entertaining Children

  Chapter 1036 Combination "Debut"

  When Mo Lei said he wanted to sing to the bride, many guests took out their phones and took pictures of Mo Lei singing. When Xiao Yao appeared on the stage, in addition to cheering, many people took out their mobile phones to shoot videos.

  Now is the self-media era, anyone can become a news publisher. Although Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting’s participation in the fan’s wedding was neither a show nor a MV recording. It was a purely private act and did not notify the media. However, on the day of the wedding, news and videos of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting’s participation in the fan’s wedding appeared. On the network.

  It is very rare for a star to attend a fan wedding in a private capacity. If it is another star, netizens may first respond to question the authenticity of these news and videos. However, based on Xiao Yao’s previous experience in privately organizing fan offline activities, many netizens feel that this kind of thing happened to Xiao Yao. It's not incredible, so most of the netizens who saw this news believed in the authenticity of the news and the video they saw.

  It’s just that the guests attending Mo Lei’s wedding are ordinary people, and social media accounts on the Internet have limited influence, so this news did not spread too fast in the early days of its appearance, that is, during the day of the wedding day.

  Though most of the netizens who saw the video believed it, they were not satisfied with the video sent by those people. The shooting effect of the mobile phone was relatively ordinary, and the guests were all offstage at the time, and there was a certain distance between Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting on the stage, so these videos were quite limited in terms of image quality and sound effects. In these early videos, it was difficult for netizens to see Xiao Yao's face clearly, nor did they hear Xiao Yao clearly. This also affected the initial spread of the news and the video to a certain extent.

  However, the wedding was invited by a wedding company. The wedding company specially prepared relatively professional cameras and videographers to record the wedding process, and the audio equipment also had radio. Although the equipment of the wedding company cannot be compared with the equipment of the TV station or the program group of the professional production unit, it is definitely much stronger than the guest's mobile phone. On the day after Mo Lei’s wedding, the wedding company, which deliberately worked overtime to complete the post-production of the wedding video, gave the wedding video to Mo Lei and Zhao Qingru. The two cut off the parts of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting and sent it to their social media. On the media account.

  After half a day and one night of fermentation, when the two newcomers released a clear version of the video, the news finally detonated the Internet completely and became a hot topic on the Internet.

Judging from Xiao Yao’s previous behavior, he is the one who can do this kind of thing. Xiao Yao spoke at the wedding and explained why he appeared at the wedding, so everyone’s biggest question is actually reading it. The clear version of the video is gone after that.

  After some netizens picked up the video of Xiao Yao’s LifeHouse tour at Yanjing Station last year and confirmed what Xiao Yao said in the video, netizens focused on Xiao Yao’s performance in the video.

  The first place that surprised netizens was the song the bridegroom sang in the video.

The song that the bridegroom sang is very good, very touching, and the level of singing is better than most ordinary amateurs, but the netizens are surprised not by the bridegroom's singing in the video, but the origin of the song and how the bridegroom can do it. The reason behind the play. These things are mentioned in the video.

  It is not surprising that Xiao Yao should explain that the star goes to the fan’s wedding, but he wrote a song specially for the bride and groom, and spent a week teaching the bridegroom to sing to the bride at the wedding? Even with Xiao Yao, who has always been doing things in an unreliable way and ingenious in offline activities with fans, netizens and fans were still deeply shocked by this incident.

Xiao Yao did not only write songs for fans, but also other stars. But he wrote songs specifically for a married couple, and he also taught the bridegroom to sing to the bride, and it was not part of the program. Don't talk about China's stars about this kind of thing, no one in the world seems to have done it.

  Although there are still some people on the Internet saying that Xiao Yao was doing a show, most of the netizens were moved by Xiao Yao’s heart-warming behavior despite being shocked.

  After this incident spread, the happiest ones are of course Xiao Yao’s fans "Pills". After watching this video, fans' grievances about Xiao Yao's non-announcement of itinerary, not allowing fans to pick up the plane, and rarely taking photos with fans to autograph, etc., which has been different from other stars over the years, seemed to disappear in an instant.

  The second place in the video that surprised netizens was a news that Xiao Yao accidentally revealed in the video.

  As an acting star, Xiao Yao's versatility is well known. Xiao Yao not only performed piano playing and singing in "Singer", but also produced a special piano performance album. Therefore, whether Xiao Yao performed singing or instrumental performance at the wedding, it would not surprise netizens and fans too much. To their surprise, Xiao Yao said in the introduction before the performance that he and Sun Tingting were planning to form a performance group and were preparing a combined musical composition. The song "The Wedding in a Dream" played at the wedding scene is exactly the work of the combination of him and Sun Tingting.

  After a certain netizen took the matter out and said it alone, the netizens and fans who noticed the news were both happy and upset.

  The happy place is naturally because Xiao Yao will soon have new music works coming out.

  Xiao Yao has released pure music performance albums, and he has a large number of pure music fans. Sun Tingting graduated from the Chambers Conservatory of Music in the United States, and has held recitals. In the music industry, especially in the field of classical music and pure music, she is considered a small name. Such a combination of two people can definitely be regarded as a powerful combination.

Judging from the history that the three pure music albums released by Xiao Yao are all original, all or at least most of the works of this combination should be the original music works of the two people. Many fans are very interested in their combination and their music works. Full of expectation.

  The uncomfortable place is the identity of Sun Tingting, or the relationship between the two in this group.

   Xiao Yao is a person who never mind spreading dog food in public. The live performance of the two songs "Courage" and "Red Rose", the street flash mob of "How Lucky", the MV dance of "ThinkingOutLoud", a few months ago Xiao Yao also specially ran to Sun Tingting's concert as a guest performer. Sun Tingting performed together, and Xiao Yao no longer stimulated the "single dogs" twice.

  This time Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting formed a couple file to engage in a music performance group, which also means that "single dog" fans will have a lot more "dog food". Thinking of this, those "single dog" fans, especially fans of the non-two CP party, seemed to resent Xiao Yao immediately.

Surprised, happy, unhappy, netizens discussed the event of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting’s participation in the fan wedding and various topics derived from that video on the Internet, and the two protagonists of the topic were very enthusiastic. On the second day after attending the wedding, he quietly returned to Shencheng.

  After attending Mo Lei’s wedding, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting’s "Secret Garden" combination has already produced ten works, which is up to the minimum number of tracks for an album in Xiao Yao’s mind. However, most of these ten pieces only have melody and arrangement plans, and they have not had time to record, and their "Secret Garden" is said to be based on piano and violin or electric and violin, but the official version of the arrangement is not There are only two instruments, and some of the arrangements involve cello and other instruments that Xiao Yao is not very good at. Therefore, whether it is recording the official version or rehearsing the performance version of a live performance, some other musicians are needed.

  In addition to the rehearsal and recording of musical works, there is another very important thing about this combination, that is, their "debut".

  In fact, based on the current fame of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting, they must be regarded as stars who have already debuted, but as a combination, their "Secret Garden" is still unknown. Even at Mo Lei's wedding, Xiao Yao only said that he would form a performance group with Sun Tingting, and did not say the name of the group.

If according to Xiao Yao’s previous practice, he would not do any special promotion in music. Generally, it would be a live version in the program or some public occasion, and an advertisement by the way, and then release an album or put the official version online. . And this time as a combination of the two, Xiao Yao paid much attention to it. Now that there is a large-scale team like a personal studio, Xiao Yao also formulated a whole set of publicity plans for the combination of the two.

  As a music performance group, the scene must be very important. But Sun Tingting only held four music concerts a few months ago. Xiao Yao himself also participated in one of them, and four of their ten songs were performed by two of them at Sun Tingting’s Yanjing Station. Neither of them wanted to have another concert in such a short period of time.

  If there is no concert, then the way to make ten songs appear together is to release an album. There is no official live version of Sun Tingting's concert, which means that the four songs have not yet an official sound source, and it is fair to say that they appear as album tracks.

  Whether it is releasing an album or holding a concert, it is generally for promotion. Last year’s Xiao Yao’s tour and this year’s Sun Tingting’s concert were not large enough and the audience was limited. Tickets were sold out without much publicity. However, releasing an album is different from having a concert, whether it is physical purchase or online paid download. There is no limit to the number, the more the better, then the album release must be for publicity.

Almost half of the ten songs of Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting are NewAge style, and the other half are pop music style with electronic sound. Basically they are not classical music, so the positioning of this combination is not classical music performance. It is definitely not in publicity. Take the path of a classical performer with a high and low level of music, but prefer the model of popular music.

  Since it is a propaganda model of popular music, then going to variety shows for propaganda is of course one of them. When it comes to the ratings and influence of variety shows, many people immediately think of the two ace programs of Shonan Satellite TV, "Quick Book" and "Daily Upward". However, these two programs are just the top of the variety shows on local satellite TV. If you really want to talk about the highest ratings and the most influential variety TV programs, it must be the Spring Festival Gala of CCTV.

  So, in addition to participating in various variety shows on local satellite TV for publicity, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting are also preparing to show off at this year’s CCTV Spring Evening, so that people across the country will know their "Secret Garden" combination.

  In terms of popularity, Xiao Yao is definitely qualified to participate in the Spring Festival Gala. This year, his "Wali" won more than 2 billion Chinese box office, and overseas box office is still growing, and he has created several records of domestic animated films. From the perspective of personal image and topicality, he is very good. The right person. And he also has a ready-made program. If he sang the song "Childhood" or "Broken Up Embrace" that caused a wave of nostalgic memories on the Spring Festival Gala, I believe there is still great hope for the trial.

Sun Tingting’s popularity is a bit weak, but with this signature bonus from world-renowned music school graduates, the success of several concerts has added a lot of points to her, and classical music programs have a relatively small proportion in the Spring Festival Gala. It's not as intense as the pop music circle, plus her own image is very good, there is also a chance to perform a classical music in the spring evening.

  Although the two are more suitable individually, the combination that can be combined is a new combination after all. It is really not easy to say whether the program can pass the review. After all, the Spring Festival Gala is not a stage reserved for newcomers. The rules are big and the review of the program is quite strict.

  Of course, the two are not completely out of chance. After all, their music style is relatively new in China, and the pure music performance program does not involve any ZZ and orientation issues, and there are not many reasons why it may be killed.

  The Spring Festival Gala is on the night of New Year’s Eve, which is February next year in the Gregorian calendar, and there is still a long time before it. However, the preparation period for the Spring Festival Gala is relatively long. Now the various director groups for the Spring Festival Gala have been established, and they have begun to invite programs to the grassroots and conduct the first round of screening and review of registered programs.

  The first round of program review does not require performers to perform live in front of the program director group. After Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting recorded the "Mystery Garden" music album, they directly sent the entire album to the director group of the Spring Festival Gala, and signed all the ten songs in it. Of course, it is impossible for them to play ten songs on the Spring Festival Gala. Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting did this, which meant that the director team could choose randomly among these ten songs.

   After signing up for the CCTV Spring Festival Gala director group, Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting shifted their focus to the local TV variety show, and started their new album promotion of this group, which is what they nicknamed the "debut" journey.
