Entertaining Children

   Chapter 1169 How can there be so much fairness?

   "Of course your material is enough." Huang Qi smiled, "It's just that, I thought you want to play snooker, because you want to show off your snooker skills in our program!"

"The audience knows that I know enough." Xiao Yao said, "It's not a rare thing to play snooker, so there is no need to show it. I really want to play snooker and do some activities after dinner. That's it."

   "Okay, then I will play with you for a while!" Huang Qi said, "But I still have to shoot. I will let the camera find a few shots that only have you, use it or not, broadcast it or not, let Director Xu decide."

   "Okay, it's up to you!" Xiao Yao shrugged.

  Strictly speaking, follow-up is Huang Qi's job. Xiao Yao didn't intend to express it specifically, but he didn't have to hide it from the shoot.

  Huang Qi really found a pair of billiard **** in a box from under the table. The two set the ball and started the fight.

  Xiao Yao and Huang Qi's billiard skills are pretty good, and their level is similar. The two played for about half an hour, and they actually played five rounds. Xiao Yao narrowly won by three to two.

  After playing billiards, Xiao Yao didn't show any more moths, and went straight back to the lounge to make arrangements.

  "Do you need us to help you print out the lyrics and original scores?" After entering the lounge, Huang Qi asked Xiao Yao on his own initiative.

   "No," Xiao Yao shook his head, "Are there any blank sheet music and pens in the lounge?"

   "Yes!" Huang Qi pointed to a cabinet in the lounge, "There!"

   "Okay, that's enough!" Xiao Yao said.

   After saying this, Xiao Yao stopped talking, and sat on the chair in a more comfortable position, then closed his eyes.

  Huang Qi and the cameraman looked at each other, and after thinking about it for a while, they still didn't say anything.

   Xiao Yao sat for a while, suddenly opened his eyes, and then bounced on the electronic keyboard in the lounge. Huang Qi heard that Xiao Yao was playing a short melody. Not only did he never connect the whole song, the timbre of the melody was different, and he never sang it.

  After tossing for a while, Xiao Yao went to the cabinet and took a pen and paper, sat at the table and started to write.

   "Director Huang, what are the rules for practicing with the band?" After writing for a while, Xiao Yao put down his pen and raised his head to ask Huang Qi.

  This is a very professional music program. In the show, all performers are accompanied by live bands. But in a show, there is usually only one live band.

  Shonan Satellite TV’s "Singer" is also all live band accompaniment, but in that show, the competing singers spent a week preparing the arrangement. On the recording day, the program team directly arranged time for the competing singers to practice with the band. This program is arranged by the tutors on the spot. The completion time of each tutor cannot be determined in advance, and the program group cannot arrange in advance. So the program group must have certain rules in the time allocation for joint training with the band.

"The rule of the show is that after the guest teachers have completed the adaptation, they can apply for joint practice with the band. They will line up in the order of application, but each rehearsal time cannot exceed half an hour, and time must be set aside for others." Said, "Then half an hour before the start of the recording of the show, each guest teacher has a chance to rehearse for the last time."

   "Then can I apply to practice with the band now?" Xiao Yao asked.

   "Huh? Are you doing it right?" Huang Qi asked in surprise.

  A hot pot meal and about half an hour of billiards, Xiao Yao was delayed for more than an hour. Huang Qi didn't say anything, but was a little worried for Xiao Yao, afraid that he would not have enough time. Unexpectedly, less than an hour after entering the lounge, Xiao Yao would find a band to practice together.

   "Hmm!" Xiao Yao nodded.

   "So fast?" Huang Qi said.

   "The regulations are adapted, but it doesn't say how far it will be adapted!" Xiao Yao smiled, "I think it's okay."

   "Well, maybe it hasn't changed much!" Huang Qi found a reasonable reason for Xiao Yao's efficiency in her heart.

   "Okay, I'll apply for you!" Huang Qi said, "Now the six hours of preparation time is less than half. Other teachers should not be so fast. They should start joint training soon."

   "Okay, then I will work hard for you!" Xiao Yao nodded.

   "Okay, you can go to practice with the band now!" Not long after, Huang Qi came back and said to Xiao Yao.

   "Go!" Xiao Yao sorted out the pile of paper on the table, held it in his hand, and stood up and said.

  The place where he practiced with the band was in the studio during the official recording. When Xiao Yao entered, a middle-aged man in his forties stood in the middle of the stage.

  "Xiao Yao is here! Welcome! I knew you would be the fastest!" The middle-aged man smiled and said to Xiao Yao.

  "Hello, Teacher Wang, it's been a long time since I saw you, thank you very much!" Xiao Yao smiled and hugged the middle-aged man.

  The middle-aged man is named Wang Yue. He is the music director of the show, as well as the conductor, pianist and keyboardist of the live band. When Xiao Yao participated in the "Singer" of Xiangnan Satellite TV a few years ago, Wang Yue was a member of the live band on the show, serving as a pianist and keyboard player. The two had cooperated before and knew each other.

   "It's not hard," Wang Yue said with a smile, "cooperating with you is always easier!"

  "The arrangement is ready?" Wang Yue asked.

"Well," Xiao Yao handed a stack of papers to Wang Yue, "You should know what my designated song is? Compared with the original version, I added some violin and string music to the soundtrack. Brass instruments, are you okay?"

"You are going to make a big change!" Wang Yue smiled while flipping through what Xiao Yao handed over, "No problem! There are four violinists and two cellists in the band of our show. In terms of wind instruments, We also have six musicians, most of whom take care of two to three wind instruments, including French horn, tuba, trombone, trumpet, and saxophone. As long as it is not a single instrument, the total number should not exceed six. , Basically it can be sorted out, should it be enough for you?"

   "Enough, enough, enough!" Xiao Yao smiled.

   "But," Wang Yue said, looking at Xiao Yao, "Since you have a violin in the soundtrack, why didn't you bring your wife? She is not available?"

  Wang Yue remembers that when Xiao Yao participated in "Singer", Sun Tingting was still in the United States. Xiao Yao used a 3D projection to put Sun Tingting's violin accompaniment on the "Singer" competition stage. Now that Sun Tingting has returned to China, Xiao Yao made a successful proposal in public some time ago, and the relationship has already been settled. It should be even more important to bring Sun Tingting to perform on the same stage.

"It’s not that I’m completely out of time to come," Xiao Yao said, "It’s mainly because I didn’t know what song the show crew would assign to me before I came, so I didn’t know how I would adapt it, and naturally I didn’t know what my music was Will the violin be used? I was worried about letting her run for nothing, so I didn't call her."

   "With you, even if you don't do anything, it's not a run for nothing, right?" Wang Yue smiled.

"But if she comes, I can't leave her alone in the hotel. I will record the show by myself?" Xiao Yao said, "It's okay to take her to record the show, but if she wants to perform together on stage, it's better to say. If you don’t go on stage and only appear in the behind-the-scenes footage of the show, it’s better to keep a low profile so that it doesn’t seem a little too deliberate."

   "Are you still afraid of being high-profile?" Wang Yue smiled, "I think you are sprinkling candies, but it doesn't matter the occasion."

   "There is another reason." Xiao Yao continued, "She is also a big star now? But the show team only hired me. The show team didn't give her an appearance fee. Why should I bring her here?"

  Huang Qi under the stage heard Xiao Yao's words and couldn't help rolling her eyes.

   "Haha!" Wang Yue laughed, "You still put this kind of dead money on your lips!"

"Okay, let's not talk about your daughter-in-law, let's do business!" Wang Yue took a closer look at the things in his hand, and pointed to one of them. "This place, are you sure you want to do this? Isn't it a bit of a singing? too difficult?"

  "Try it!" Xiao Yao said, "If you can't change it again. It's not difficult to change this place!"

   "Okay!" Wang Yue nodded, "Are you ready!"

  After finishing talking, Wang Yue left the stage, walked into the band, gathered the musicians, distributed the things in his hands, and gave another order.

  On the stage, a staff member put up equipment such as earphones for Xiao Yao and sent a microphone.

   "Okay, let's try it once!" After a while, Wang Yue waved to Xiao Yao and shouted.

   Xiao Yao nodded and exhaled softly.

  Music played over the band. After the prelude, Xiao Yao raised the microphone and sang.

   "Wow~" After Xiao Yao sang the first time, applause broke out in the band.

  In the first joint training, there will inevitably be some mistakes and flaws, which are definitely not perfect, but one of Xiao Yao's passages is so amazing that the musicians can't help but applaud Xiao Yao.

   "Cow!" Wang Yue gave Xiao Yao a thumbs up, "But there are still some mistakes in some of them. You can adjust it and we will do it again in a while."

After    finished speaking, Wang Yue went to a few musicians and began to communicate in a low voice. In fact, the mistakes in the first joint practice were not only due to Xiao Yao, but also from the musicians. Of course, Wang Yue had to explain to several musicians.

  The second joint training, the effect is much better.

  In less than half an hour, Xiao Yao practiced four times together, and Wang Yue even nodded his head to express satisfaction.

   Xiao Yao himself is also very satisfied with the results of the joint training. Now that Wang Yue nodded, Xiao Yao thanked the band's musicians and said goodbye, leaving the rehearsal studio.

   "True cow!" Huang Qi also said to Xiao Yao after she left the studio.

After watching Xiao Yao’s co-training with the band, Huang Qi was as amazing as the musicians in a certain place, but also found that Xiao Yao’s version is quite different from the original version of the song, that is to say, Xiao Yao’s programming degree is changed. In fact, it is not small. Think about the time it took Xiao Yao to adapt, and then look at the efficiency of his co-training with the band. Huang Qi is now completely impressed by Xiao Yao's musical talent.

   "Thank you!" Xiao Yao smiled and asked Huang Qi, "The adaptation task is completed, what should I do now? I'll check with other instructors, can I stop by?"

   "Of course!" Huang Qi said, "Which teacher's lounge do you want to go to? I'll take you there!"

   "Look, if you have time, of course you will go all the way." Xiao Yao said, "First of all, of course I should go to Sister Xueying first!"

   "Okay, go!" Huang Qi said.

  Huang Qi took Xiao Yao to the door of Liang Xueying’s lounge. Xiao Yao did not push the door in a hurry, nor knocked on the door. Instead, he leaned on the door and listened. Hearing that there seemed to be only talking and no music, I knocked on the door, then opened the door and walked in.

   "Sister Xueying! Hello, Teacher Sang!" Xiao Yao smiled and waved.

  In the lounge, not only is Liang Xueying alone, there is also a young woman in her thirties sitting behind the electronic keyboard next to Liang Xueying. This young woman was named Sandy, she was Liang Xueying's queen producer and arranger, and was a member of Liang Xueying's private team. Xiao Yao had seen it before and knew it.

   "Xiao Yao is here!" Liang Xueying smiled and stood up to greet her. Sandy also got up and bent his head slightly and gestured.

  "Sit!" Liang Xueying let Xiao Yao sit down at the table and asked, "How is your song? I'll go and see you in a while!"

   "It's done, even the band has practiced together. Just waiting for the last rehearsal before the show is officially recorded!" Xiao Yao laughed.

   "So fast?" Liang Xueying was surprised, and then smiled, "But it's normal if you put it on you little monster!"

   "How are you doing here?" Xiao Yao smiled and asked Liang Xueying.

   "Basically it is done, not much difference." Liang Xueying said.

"That's good!" Xiao Yao smiled, "You know, it's the first time I participated in this show, so I'm here this time to ask you to help me and teach me a little experience. After all, you are like this. The two seasons of the show are veteran, what should I pay attention to, what are the tricks, please feel free to enlighten me. It will not delay you now, right?"

"Delay is not a delay, but with your ability, do you still need me to teach you any experience in recording programs? I have participated in two seasons, and I don't have your ability to deceive other people." Liang Xueying laughed. .

   "Sister~" Xiao Yao said bitterly.

"I know, for the effect of the show, I'm not blaming you!" Liang Xueying smiled and waved her hand, "I mean, your sense of variety is much stronger than mine. In this show, except for stage performances, you can play well at will. Now, those three have very good personalities, and there is nothing special to pay attention to."

  "But when it comes to helping, I need your help!" Liang Xueying said again, "I wanted to find you, but you just delivered it yourself."

  "Bring it to the door by myself?" Xiao Yao said with a look of horror, holding his arms, "Why do I have an unknown premonition? What are you going to do?"

"Hey~" Liang Xueying smiled gloomily, and then she didn't hold her back, smiled and patted Xiao Yao and said, "What else can I do? My song needs a pianist who cooperates with me on stage to give it to me. Piano accompaniment! How about you come and help me play the piano?"

"Piano accompaniment? Don't you have Teacher Sang?" Xiao Yao looked at Sandy strangely, "Mr. Sang was originally a very good pianist, as well as your queen producer and arranger. You cooperate like this It’s been a long time, anyway, better than you and me, right?"

"It was originally!" Liang Xueying said, "but Sandy is not feeling well these days. Discuss the arrangement with me below. It's okay to play a few melody at random, but if it's on stage to accompany him, Sandy feels like himself It may not be able to guarantee the state on stage."

   "Yes!" Sandy also said, "If I can, we won't bother you. I know my own state, and I'm really afraid of messing up Xueying on the stage."

   "Okay, then!" Xiao Yao saw that Sandy's face was indeed not very good, and he nodded, not like a fake.

   "Oh, you agreed so quickly?" Liang Xueying was a little surprised, and asked with a smile, "Don't you say that two instructors working together on the same stage are two to one, which is unfair to the challenger?"

   "I personally think that if you just play the piano and don't sing, the impact should be small." Xiao Yao smiled, "Besides, there are so many unfair things in this world. How can we expect everything to be so fair?"
