Entertaining Children

  Chapter 1076 Why is it?

  For Xiao Yao, going to the women’s team’s dormitory was just a temporary intention after hearing Meng Yuan’s suggestion. It was not a pre-arrangement of the program group, nor was it his main job in Hangzhou this time. His real task is to guide this girl group to complete the Korean song.

  Although he recorded more than half a day of the group show, Xiao Yao's spirit was still very good, and the next day he even arrived at the practice room arranged by Haiyan Entertainment earlier than the agreed time.

   When Xiao Yao pushed the door into the practice room, he found that there were already people in the practice room, and after a cursory sweep, he found that all eleven people had arrived, all of whom had arrived earlier than him.

   "Hello everyone!" Xiao Yao, who entered the door, smiled and waved and said hello, "It's all very early!"

  "Hello senior!" Seeing Xiao Yao coming in, all eleven people greeted him.

After the greetings, the two girls, Xin Xin and JoJo, who didn't see Xiao Yao yesterday came forward and complained: "Senior, why did you choose to be a guest when we had activities yesterday, and left before we came back? "

"Yesterday I made a temporary intention to visit your dormitory. I don't know who you are and who is not," Xiao Yao said. "I actually waited for you for a while, but it's a bit late to see later, so I can only leave first. In the future. Probably not. Starting from today, even if it is officially started, your company should tell you in advance when I will come and meet you or anyone of you!"

   "Senior? No coffee today?" Lin Yunan looked at Xiao Yao's empty hands in disappointment.

  "Coffee?" Xiao Yao was taken aback.

   "I thought I could drink the coffee brought by the seniors like Yun Jing and the others last year!" Lin Yunan said.

   "Ha!" Xiao Yao said amusedly, "When did bringing you coffee become the standard for me as a senior? Are you a little fluttering? It seems that it can't be too good for you!"

   "No, we..." Lin Yunan explained.

   "Did you bet on this?" Xiao Yao suddenly interrupted.

   "Uh~" Lin Yunan choked, and everyone else looked at Xiao Yao in surprise.

  "Is there a hidden camera installed here?" Lin Yunan looked up, "Senior, where did you hide and watch us secretly?"

"I'm not so boring!" Xiao Yao waved his hand, "Don't think about coffee! Eleven people, get eleven cups of coffee, I'm not a coffee seller! But if you behave well, meet next time I’ll bring you cat food when it’s time."

   "Yeah~" Someone cheered.

  "Snacks are just snacks, why do you talk about cat food?" came to arouse dissatisfaction.

   "Of course it's cat food again!" Xiao Yao smiled, "Didn't all the scores of the new song be given to you?"

"Okay, that's the end of the chat. Now let's start doing business!" Xiao Yao clapped his hands, "I gave you the lyrics and music scores yesterday. Now, besides Yun Jing and Yun Nan, who can tell the lyrics? Come out? No need to sing, just talk!"

   "Senior, can you take out the lyrics and read it?" He raised his hand and said, "Should I recite or read it?"

   "You can watch!" Xiao Yao nodded first, and then said a little strangely, "But in one night, you can read Korean?"

  "Look at it!" Lai Zhaodi pulled out a piece of paper from the bag in the locker next to it, walked back to Xiao Yao, and started to read it.

  "Wait!" After Xiao Yao waited to call and read a few words, he waved to stop, then pointed to the piece of paper in her hand and said, "Let me see!"

  It’s not a big problem to say it. After the first few sentences in English, the back is indeed in Korean, but the pronunciation sounds weird. More importantly, the lyrics and music scores Xiao Yao gave them yesterday were two pieces of paper, but now they only have one sheet, which is clearly not given by Xiao Yao. Even if they make copies by themselves later, it is impossible to change from two to one.

  "Oh!" Lai Zhaodi handed the piece of paper in his hand.

   "This~" Xiao Yao immediately understood when he saw it, and smiled, "Is this your own idea?"

  The white paper in Xiao Yao's hand is a handwritten lyrics. The lyrics and music scores Xiao Yao gave yesterday had tunes and lyrics, and they were written in documents on a computer. The fonts were relatively large, occupying two pages, and they were printed out on two pages. Lai Zhaodi copied it by hand, and only copied the lyrics. Of course, one page is enough.

   "Yeah!" Come and nodded.

  "Is this the way you learned English in junior high school?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile, pointing at the thing on the paper.

  Of course there is no problem with copying the lyrics by hand, but there are not only the original lyrics, but also the translated Chinese meaning and the pronunciation marked with Pinyin. Seeing the phonetic transcription in Hanyu Pinyin, Xiao Yao instantly thought of some junior high school students in his previous life using this method to learn English. He was referring to those Chinese pinyin.

   "Yes!" Came to Zhaodi and said happily, "How do you know the senior? Did you learn English like this in junior high school?"

   "I studied in Yanjing in primary and secondary school, and we started to learn English in elementary school!" Xiao Yao smiled.

   "Then when you were in elementary school..." came and said again.

   "When my senior was ten years old, I went to the United States to be a photographer for Eva Show," Wei Yunjing stopped and said, "How can you learn English in this way?"

"Senior, Yunan and I taught them last night." Wei Yunjing looked at Xiao Yao again, "but there is only one night. If we start with basic letters, vocabulary, and grammar, we can't finish teaching these basics in one night. They can only teach them the pronunciation of the lyrics first. They are afraid that they can’t remember, so they used this method!"

   "Oh?" Xiao Yao smiled, "That is to say, there are still a lot of people using this method! Who else is there?"

  "I use English phonetic symbols!" Several people raised their hands.

  "I can speak Japanese, and a little bit of Korean. I use Roman accents to mark the pronunciation!" Someone raised their hands.

  "Aren't you directly using Chinese characters with similar pronunciations?" Xiao Yao asked.

   "Me!" Lu Mingshuang raised his hand.

   "They are all smart!" Xiao Yao smiled and said with a thumbs up, "Can you show me and let me see?"

   "Senior, are you serious?" Lu Mingshuang asked carefully.

   "Of course it's not an irony!" Xiao Yao said, "This method can basically master the pronunciation of the lyrics in one night. It's really smart. I really want to see it!"

   "Oh!" Several people went to the locker to take out their lyrics.

   "Do you have a pen?" Xiao Yao took the lyrics of several people and looked at it for a while, then raised his head and asked.

  "I have it!" Come and rush to his locker and take the pen from the bag.

   "Senior, why do you want a pen?" someone asked.

   Xiao Yao sat cross-legged on the ground and spread out a few lyrics in front of him, “There is no problem with the translation of Chinese meaning, but some parts of the pronunciation are not very accurate. Help you change it!”

   "Huh?" The girls were surprised.

"Why?" Xiao Yao smiled as they looked at them in surprise. "To learn Chinese, you need to learn Pinyin, English to learn English phonetic symbols, Japanese to Korean and Roman sounds. I have learned all of these. Can I understand them all? You don’t really use these as pronunciation labels in other languages ​​like you do!"

   "Right," Lin Yunan asked Xiao Yao, "Senior, how many languages ​​do you know?"

   "Hmm~" Xiao Yao raised his head for a moment.

   "Forget it, I still don't know it!" Lin Yunan looked at Xiao Yao's appearance, and said discouragedly, "It will definitely hurt people!"

  "Senior, pen!" Lai Zhaodi ran back and handed Xiao Yao a fountain pen.

   Xiao Yao took the pen, then lowered his head and scratched himself on the sheets of paper in front of him.

  "Okay! Claim it yourself!" Xiao Yao didn't rewrite all of them, but only revised a few places where the pronunciation was not very accurate, and quickly put a piece of paper aside.

  "Mine!" Several people glanced, and they came to Zhaodi and immediately picked up the piece of paper Xiao Yao put aside and looked at it.

"Okay, next question," Xiao Yao asked the girls after he changed all of the lyrics, "Why did you all copy the lyrics and no one copied the score? Don't tell me that it is still among you. There are illiterate people!"

"No!" Wei Yunjing said, "The main reason is that this staff is troublesome to draw, and there is no blank staff paper in our dormitory. We think that familiarity with the lyrics is enough for us to spend a night, and I probably don't have the energy to be familiar with the melody. Let's practice today. After the room, you can copy your music scores, instead of copying the scores, just copy the lyrics manually. We have already copied the scores, but you just asked us to read the lyrics, so everyone took the hand-written lyrics with pronunciation annotations, and did not copy the scores. take it out."

   "Understood!" Xiao Yao nodded, "It is also a very smart choice!"

   "Today you only spent half a day rehearsing together, mainly for two tasks!" Xiao Yao stood up and said, "One is to familiarize you with the song, and the other is to teach you a breakdown of dance moves."

   "Can I teach dance without music?" Wei Yunjing asked.

"The soundtrack is ready." Xiao Yao took out a U disk from his body and said, "I will leave it to you, and you can copy it yourself. However, the dance teaching is placed at the back, and the breath is unstable, which affects singing. Let’s learn this song first!"

"This soundtrack is the complete version after the arrangement, and it is not good for you to be familiar with the melody." Xiao Yao continued, "I will play you the melody of the song several times on the piano. Look at the score to familiarize yourself, and then come one by one. Audition. Just like I was on the show last year, although this song is a group song, everyone must be able to sing it all. Also, I haven’t divided the specific passages yet. You can discuss it yourself these few days. Now, we'll make sure when we practice together next time."

  "As for the dance movement, can we also participate in and express our opinions?" Wei Yunjing asked.

"Of course," Xiao Yao nodded, "Although I made up a set of dance moves, it is not the finalized version. The group positioning during the performance was originally determined while practicing. If you have good dance moves , Of course it is not impossible to modify! We can all discuss it!"

   "Okay!" Everyone nodded in unison.

  The girls went to the locker and took out the scores. The other nine people except Wei Yunjing and Lin Yunan did not put back the copied lyrics, but took a copy in each hand and sat on the floor of the practice room.

  There is an upright piano in the practice room. Seeing that everyone was ready, Xiao Yao sat down on the piano and played the melody of the song. The eleven girls looked at the lyrics in their hands and nodded slightly as they listened. Some of them hummed softly.

  Xiao Yao first played the entire song, and then waited for a minute or two to let a few people recollect it before playing it again. After playing for the second time, Xiao Yao still left them some aftertaste time before starting the third time.

   "Okay, who will try first?" Xiao Yao asked after playing three times.

   "Senior, should you sing it to us first?" Lai Zhaodi asked.

   "Yes! Senior, let's demonstrate once!" The other girls echoed.

Xiao Yao shook his head and deliberately said: "When I was on the show last year, I showed you the lyrics and music scores for a while and then I asked someone to try it out. Don’t say I didn’t show you how to sing it first. Today I will play you three tunes like this so that you are familiar with the melody. You have all debuted in a group for a year. It is impossible for this level to regress, right?"

"Last year, who was the first one in my group to come out to try and sing for everyone?" Seeing a few girls did not answer, Xiao Yao continued to stimulate them, "Right! Yang Shiyun! No wonder the netizens felt that Yang Shiyun was eliminated. What a pity! You really don't have music literacy that can compare with Yang Shiyun!"

   "Senior!" Wu Huiyi retorted, "I was the second to sing last year! At that time, you obviously ordered Yang Shiyun's name and asked her to sing first, and she was the first to sing!"

   Said that their music literacy is not as good as Yang Shiyun, others may have nothing to say, but Wu Huiyi, who is also Vocal, absolutely can't bear it.

"Senior, you can't say that!" Xin Xin, who is also on the team Vocal, also said, "I was not in your group last year. You are too arbitrary to say that! The lyrics of this song are in Korean, and I am not sure about the pronunciation. I'm afraid of singing the wrong lyrics, so I want you to sing it again first. If you don't sing the lyrics, I can sing a cappella now and hum the melody!"

  Two of the three lead singers except Ai Jun couldn't help but vocalize, Xiao Yao's stimulation obviously worked. However, Xiao Yao didn't find it interesting to let the two lead singers try to sing the sample.

"Hui Yi meant to let me call it? Xin Xin meant that the lyrics are in Korean, so I'm not sure, so I can only order the Korean!" Xiao Yao laughed, "Wei Yunjing, Lin Yunan, who are you two? Come to make a sample?"

   "Let me come!" Wei Yunjing and Lin Yunan glanced at each other, then Wei Yunjing stood up and said.

   "Okay, let Yu Nan come to make proofs for everyone!" Xiao Yao smiled.

   "Huh?" Wei Yunjing and Lin Yunan were both stunned.

   "Ha!" Zhao Liang was the first to react, and said to Xiao Yao with a big smile, "Senior, you are too skinny!"

   "Okay, no kidding!" Xiao Yao said sternly, "Lin Yunan, get ready!"

   "Oh!" Lin Yunan said with the score.

  Xiao Yao’s piano sounded. Once the prelude was over, Lin Yunan’s voice sounded, entering the song a little earlier, but it was not obvious, and Xiao Yao did not stop. I don't know if Lin Yunan didn't hear it out or if he had better adjustment ability, there was no chaos behind it. Xiao Yao kept accompanying her to finish singing, and finally pointed out this point together with a few other small questions.

After   Lin Yunan, the others also took turns to audition. The second one is Wei Yunjing, then Wu Huiyi, Xin Xin, Ai Jun... The last one is still the singing ability who is still at the end of the crane.

On the whole, Xiao Yao feels that in terms of singing skills, except for the two lead singers Wu Huiyi and Xin Xin, who have maintained a consistently high standard with no obvious changes, the others include the third lead singer Ai Jun and the stable crane tail Lai Zhaodi. All of us have made some progress during this year.

  After everyone finished singing, Xiao Yao pointed out some problems and gave some guidance, and then the part of singing was over.

"Well, in terms of singing, please pay attention to the problem I just mentioned. Pay more attention when practicing in the future. We will see the effect when we practice together next time." Xiao Yao closed the piano cover and got up from the piano bench. "Now, it's the dance part."

  "I'll do it for you first, and then explain the decomposition action!" Xiao Yao inserted the U disk into the speaker and stood in front of the girls.

   "Good looking forward!" Wei Yunjing and other girls who are good at dancing cried.

   Xiao Yao did not start right away, but walked to the side with the photographer.

   "Brother Wang, I'm sorry!" Xiao Yao said sorry to the cameraman, then turned off the camera, and unloaded the camera's battery.

   "Xiao Yao, what are you doing?" the cameraman cried out strangely.

   "What's wrong?" Meng Yuan and the girls asked strangely.

   "He turned off my camera and even removed the battery!" the cameraman shouted.

  "Sorry, the following paragraph cannot be publicly displayed on the Internet!" Xiao Yao raised the battery in his hand, "I know that it may be useless to ask you to cut it later, so I'll be straightforward and remove the battery!"

   "Directly disassemble the camera battery of the cameraman?" The girls stared at Xiao Yao in surprise, "This senior is too fierce!"

   "Why?" To the girls' expectations, director Meng Yuan did not get angry, but looked at Xiao Yao strangely.

  Of course, this is also the question in the hearts of girls.
