Entertaining Children

  Chapter 966 Different childhood

   "Speaking of "Singer"," Ke Jun looked at Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao, you have a commercial, and you have had a rest for a while. Now it's time to show us your real skills, right?"

   "Okay," Xiao Yao nodded, and then said, "But my suitcase is filled with gifts, and there is only one backpack. I didn't bring musical instruments over today."

   "It's okay, he has!" Luo Chongwen pointed to Qiu Zhihao.

   "I also have an electronic organ and a guitar, which one do you want?" Qiu Zhihao asked.

   "Take them all out, he will do it!" Ke Jun said to Qiu Zhihao.

   "Good!" Qiu Zhihao got up and went upstairs to take down his electronic piano and acoustic guitar, and asked Xiao Yao, "Which one do you want?"

   "Guitar!" Xiao Yao got up and took the acoustic guitar from Qiu Zhihao's hand. He sat down on the carpet again, stretched out his hand and plucked a few strings, and tried the sound.

   "What do you want to listen to?" Xiao Yao finished the sound test, holding the guitar and asking everyone.

   "Can you still order a song?" Zhou Wenpei said to Xiao Yao who was holding the guitar.

   "Of course!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "As long as I can!"

  ""Chengdu"," Zhou Wenpei said, "I like that song very much, and Xia Lan is from Rongcheng, so I should like it very much."

   "Just sing "Chengdu", I like it!" Xia Lan applauded and agreed.

   "Okay!" Xiao Yao nodded, plucked the strings, and played the prelude to the song.

"With me, take a walk on the streets of Chengdu, oh oh~ until all the lights are off and don’t stay~ you will pull my sleeves, and I will put my hands in my trouser pockets and walk to the end of Yulin Road , Sitting at the door of the tavern~"

  It’s been almost two years since this song came out, and two of you are familiar with it. When Xiao Yao sang the chorus, Xia Lan and Ke Jun couldn't help but sing together in a low voice. However, the two of them are not so familiar with the lyrics, they just sang the chorus, and when the second verse came, they didn't sing it again.

  Xia Lan also debuted in the draft, and she was also a singer in the early stage, and she sang very well. During the second verse, Xiao Yao looked at Ke Jun and motioned, and Ke Jun immediately nodded knowingly.

   By the time of the second chorus, Xiao Yao and Ke Jun stopped singing, and only Xiao Yao’s guitar and Xia Lan’s singing were left at the scene. Xia Lan was stunned at this situation, but when she saw the encouraging eyes of Xiao Yao and Ke Jun, she continued to sing.

  After the second chorus, the song uses the first two sentences of the chorus as a transition, followed by a full chorus, and finally ends with the first two sentences of the chorus again. Xiao Yao sang the transitional two sentences himself. During the third complete chorus, Xia Lan's singing came up again, and Xiao Yao lowered the volume to help her sing the harmony.

  After the third full chorus, Xiao Yao and Xia Lan’s singing stopped, and Xiao Yao’s guitarist also stopped. Everyone thought the song was over. In the second half of the song, Xiao Yao and Xia Lan’s cooperation is quite tacit and wonderful. Just as everyone stretched out their hands and wanted to applaud the two of them, Xiao Yao played the guitar again and sang the final part of the song. Two sentences.

   "Walk with me on the streets of Chengdu, oh oh until all the lights are off, and I won’t stay here~"

   In the last two sentences, Xiao Yao sang again imitating a child’s voice with a "milk smell", and even the expressions and movements during the singing were changed to the kind of shaking his head and shaking his head like a child.

   "Haha~"

  As soon as this voice came out, the people who were all admired and intoxicated instantly broke their skills, and all smiled and squatted on the table or carpet.

   "What the **** are these last two sentences?!" Ke Jun shouted, patting the carpet.

   "I was being brought back to the tavern on Yulin Road by this song, and the show was in an instant!" Xia Lan also smiled.

   "This is the original version of this song," Xiao Yao said with an innocent look, "the last two sentences are originally children's voices."

   "Okay!" After laughing, Ke Jun still took the lead and applauded, "Although the last moment made us a drama, the performance of this song is still very wonderful!"

   "Awesome!" The others applauded.

   "Thank you," Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, then raised his hands and applauded in Xia Lan's direction, "Sister Lan can also sing very well!"

   "No no," Xia Lan waved her hand, "Xiao Yao is still good at singing, and mainly because Xiao Yao is good at playing guitar!"

  "Did these two people start to talk about each other in business?" Ke Jun smiled.

"No, I'm serious, Xiao Yao is really good at playing guitar." Xia Lan emphasized, and then exclaimed, "Actually, I find it very difficult to learn a musical instrument. I started to learn the violin at the age of seven, and I didn’t have it when I was in junior high school. It feels too difficult to learn, but can’t keep going."

   "I started to learn violin when I was five, and piano again when I was seven!" Chiu Zhihao interrupted.

   "Then did your parents force you to practice piano when you were young?" Xia Lan asked.

   "Yes." Qiu Zhihao nodded, "Should they have all?"

   "Do you know the kind of tape we listened to when we were young?" Xia Lan suddenly asked.

   "I know!" Luo Chongwen, Ke Jun, Zhou Wenpei and Xiao Yao nodded together.

   "Do you also know?" Seeing Xiao Yao nodded, Xia Lan was surprised, "You should have started listening to CDs when you were sensible, right?"

   "I have them at home, and my dad has a lot of tapes!" Xiao Yao explained.

"Oh!" Xia Lan nodded, and then said, "I will tell you how my mother forced me to practice piano when I was young. When I was in elementary school, there was a summer vacation for a year, and my mother stipulated that I had to practice twice every afternoon. Hours of violin. At that time, my parents were going to work, and I was alone at home. My mother was afraid that I would not be at home to practice the violin, so she secretly ran out to play, so I used a tape recorder to record all the sounds of the practice. She asked me to record both sides of a blank tape, and then when they came back from work, she would listen to it and check if I had practiced well!"

   "This method is good!" Luo Chongwen smiled, "The two sides of the tape seem to be about two hours together!"

   "Wow, your mother's method is absolutely amazing!" Ke Jun also smiled.

   "How did your parents force you to practice piano when you were young?" Luo Chongwen asked Qiu Zhihao again, "Are there any interesting things?"

"My mother doesn't have a job, so she supervises my piano practice at home." Qiu Zhihao said, "Actually, my mother doesn't understand music, as long as I hear me playing the piano. I practice piano in my room, and she does her own practice outside. Things, but the door of my room must be opened so that she can hear the sound of my piano practice. As long as there is no sound of the piano in my room, she will come in and let me not be lazy."

"Then you should use Xia Lan's mother's method to deal with your mother." Luo Chongwen laughed, "You record your own piano practice and put it in your room. Your mother will not come in to check if there is a sound. , You can be lazy."

   "Huh?" Qiu Zhihao was speechless for a while.

   "It's a good way!" everyone else laughed.

   "This method should be useless for Xiao Yao." Ke Jun said, "Xiao Yao's musical instrument should have been learned from his dad. Whether it is practicing or lazily playing music will surely be heard right away."

   "Then how did your dad force you to learn musical instruments?" Xia Lan asked Xiao Yao.

   "My dad didn't force me much," Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled. "There is neither a prescribed daily practice time nor supervision. I practiced by myself."

   "Are you so conscious?" Ke Jun smiled.

   "Because I want to learn the musical instrument myself." Xiao Yao said. "I started to learn a musical instrument when I was less than four years old. At first I wanted to learn guitar in addition to the keyboard and piano. But at that time I was too young and the guitar was too big, so I couldn't learn it, my dad. I said that I would teach me when I grew up. Then I watched TV and saw the ukulele. I thought this instrument was very similar to the guitar. It was small and should be able to hold it. So I told my dad that I wanted to learn it. Before that, my dad had never played Ukulele. After he heard that I was going to learn, he bought it back for self-study, and learned to teach me again. He is like this, I'm not ashamed to practice well."

   "I knew this when I was a kid. It's really not an ordinary sensible." Ke Jun commented with a smile.

   "Wenpei, what did you look like when you were a kid?" Luo Chongwen asked Zhou Wenpei.

"I, I was a wild kid when I was a kid, and I didn't seem to be doing anything other than playing!" Zhou Wenpei laughed, "I was admitted to the art troupe to learn to dance when I was a kid, but I was in the troupe when I was learning and training. Later, my family didn’t care much about me, and they didn’t ask me to learn musical instruments or go to other hobby classes. As soon as I got home, I ran sheep and played wildly with a group of children, climbing trees and everything. , I even fought with boys when I was a kid!"

   "Really?" Ke Jun said in surprise, "I can't imagine you as a lady now!"

   "How great!" Xia Lan lay on the table, looking at Zhou Wenpei with envy, "Your childhood must have been much happier than the three of us who practiced piano since childhood!"

   "Sister Lan, you just say you are fine, don't take me!" Xiao Yao smiled, "I had a very happy childhood, and I didn't do things like climbing trees and digging out bird eggs."

"How is it possible?" Xia Lan straightened up and looked at Xiao Yao. "I heard that when you were young, you not only learned musical instruments, but also learned calligraphy, painting and martial arts. How can you still have time to go out and play crazy? In the living environment, there should be no place to climb trees and dig out birds' eggs, right?"

"Before I went to elementary school, I used to live with my grandfather. My grandfather lived in the old alley of Yanjing. I never went to kindergarten when I was a child. When other children went to kindergarten, I was learning calligraphy and painting, and other children were out of school. , I'll go out and play crazy." Xiao Yao smiled.

"The daily tidbits of the first issue of "The Singer" the previous year was taken by him in the old alley where Mr. Xiao lived with the film crew. He is very familiar with the people in the alley," Ke Jun said, "He participated in "Sound in the Scene" At the time, I told Teacher Li Zhenyi that he was a kid in the hutongs, and it seemed so!"

   "Oh," Xia Lan sighed, lying on the table again, "This person is really annoying than others!"

   "Look at you stimulating Xia Lan," Ke Jun said to Xiao Yao, "Hurry up and make up for it with another song!"

   "Well, then sing a new song this time." Xiao Yao smiled.

  "New song?" Everyone's eyes lit up, and Xia Lan sat up again, and asked expectantly, "Is it the one that hasn't been published yet?"

"Well," Xiao Yao nodded, "The title of the song is "Childhood". Don't you think you were not particularly happy when you were a child, do you have some regrets? Then feel the childhood time of ordinary people from this song. ."

   "Are you trying to stimulate me again?" Xia Lan stared.

   "Haha~" Everyone laughed.

"Okay!" After laughing, Ke Jun raised his head to report to the camera, "Next, Xiao Yao will bring you his original original song "Childhood"! Blessed audiences, I ran into Xiao Yao's new song. play!"

   After Ke Jun reported the scene, Xiao Yao plucked the strings of the guitar and played the prelude to the song.

   A fresh acoustic guitar sounded, the joyful atmosphere on the scene quickly dissipated, and the expression on Xia Lan's face, who was still staring at Xiao Yao just now, also softened.

"Barefoot chasing the sunset by the railroad~Glass bead iron box hero card~Playing with rubber bands and hiding under the stone bridge~Grandma's shoes sitting on the dam~Iron door basket frame with ginkgo flowers~The thatched house can live in someone~You can play around after school. Hip-hop~the water is flowing between the ridge~"

  After a prelude, Xiao Yao's soft singing sounded.

  The melody in the previous paragraph sounds relatively simple, and the accompaniment is two repetitions of the four guitar chords in the intro, but this folk-style melody with Xiao Yao’s soft singing voice still feels very good.

  More importantly, the lyrics of this song are very graphic. The rhythm of the song is not fast, and Xiao Yao's words are very clear. During this passage, everyone felt like a few childhood scenes appeared in front of them, and they were immediately attracted.

"We just grow up every day~ the big white rabbit in the sweet dreams sticks our teeth~ also fantasizes about the fairy scientist~ stick figures of mud stains on the white wall~ we grow up every day~ the four seasons pass the sprouting old parasol trees~ there are treasures and towers in the sand~ long benches Build a home~"

  The accompaniment of the second part of the song has not changed much, but Xiao Yao’s vocal tone has improved a bit, and it seems to have entered the chorus part of the song. In addition to the description at the beginning of the first half of the paragraph, the following three sentences are still very graphic lyrics, which further reminds everyone of their childhood days.

   "It's great!" From here, Luo Chongwen has already felt the difference of this song, and couldn't help but nod his head and sigh lightly.

"Days are always awkwardly slow~Leaves fall over the pond to move to a new house~20-inch color TV leather sofa~5:30 windmill animation~After dinner, enjoy the cool starry night~Firefly breeze and crescent moon~If adults don’t understand, all ghosts and monsters will hide. Under the bed~"

  The third paragraph of the song is exactly the same in tune as the first paragraph, but eight completely different lyrics have brought you eight different pictures. Especially when they heard the fourth sentence, the others couldn't help but smile and look at Ke Jun, who looked at Xiao Yao with complicated eyes.

   Xiao Yao sensed Ke Jun's gaze, smiled and nodded, and continued singing.

"We just grow up every day~the rain keeps coming in our memory~the summer vacation is boring in the cicadas~the new school year should cut our hair again~we will grow up every day~we also start to look forward to and change~I thought how great we were~wrote a poem I dare not pass it to her~"

By the time    sang this paragraph, everyone's eyes had already left Ke Jun, and he recalled the childhood scenes following the song again.

  "We just grow up every day~ Listening to the tape and meet under the banyan tree~ White shirt dusk acoustic guitar~ Young and careless cheeks~

  After the second chorus, Xiao Yao took another half of the chorus, and the four sentences that followed were still different lyrics and different pictures.

   "Hoo~oooooo~"

  After this, Xiao Yao hummed again. Although there are no lyrics, everyone seems to be in the mood of this song, reminiscing about the childhood scenes just recalled.

   "I thought I was so great~ I didn't dare to pass it to her after writing a poem~"

After singing   , the next two sentences basically repeated the last two sentences of the second chorus, except that "Zeng" was changed to "Han". This is the first time that similar lyrics appear in a song, but it is only a word difference, which also gives people a different mood and mood.

   "Woo~ Xiaoxiaoshi dare not pass it to her~"

  Finally, after another sentence with similar lyrics but different feelings, Xiao Yao played the last few notes, ending the performance of the whole song.

   "Okay!" After the last note dissipated, everyone present clapped and screamed.

   "The lyrics are so well written," Luo Chongwen first commented, "I was full of childhood memories when I listened!"

   "Yeah, a lot of them are memories of our post-80s!" Zhou Wenpei nodded.

   "My post-70s are full of memories!" Ke Jun also said with red eyes.

"You are a person who is close to the post-zero-zero at the end of the nineties. The song "Childhood" that you wrote can actually resonate with the post-70s and 80s. It reminds us of our childhood," Xia Lan shook his head and exclaimed. , "Your childhood is really different!"
