Chapter 890 I saw an acquaintance

  Although the layout of the lounge on the first floor has been changed, a guy as big as a grand piano will not move easily. When Xiao Yao was just down there, he recognized that the piano in the hall was the one that he felt inaccurate and tuned himself halfway through the show the year before, but he didn't play it. Henderson is also a very professional singer, if the piano is not accurate, he can hear it.

   "No need!" Jiang Kailin's filming director laughed, "Since your time, as long as our program is recorded, our Taoist director has arranged for someone to regularly tune the piano."

"Oh!" Xiao Yao nodded, and then laughed, "Director Li, if I hadn't heard the sound of the piano when I played the piano the year before last, you would not be able to tune that piano by yourself. Thinking of finding someone to tune the piano regularly, right?"

Jiang Kailin’s follow-up production group was the one that followed Hong Wei the year before, and Xiao Yao participated in the first episode of the show that he had secretly filmed Hong Wei in his team, so he was the second familiar with this director besides Mei Fang. of.

"Yes, it wasn't that you had a piano recital on the show the year before, and Director Tao probably can't remember this!" Director Li smiled, "But what do you want to do with this now? Wouldn't you want Director Tao to give you an increase? Appearance fee, right? You are not a guest in the competition this time, and there is no appearance fee at all!"

"Cut~ Am I the one who just thinks about money?" Xiao Yao curled his lips, "I find it doesn't matter if I don't know how to make a piano by myself, but if someone internationally finds that the piano is inaccurate, I can't find the tuning for a while. Teacher, if you lose your interest in playing, I'm afraid you have to question the professionalism of your program group."

   "This~" Director Li said helplessly, "Yes, you are right, we thank you!"

  When Xiao Yao was bickering with Director Li, the following performance had already begun.

  Seeing that Ellie Henderson ran to play the piano and sang, Jiang Kailin, who had helped Xiao Yao finish the cover, was too embarrassed to go upstairs and leave immediately, and sat down with Wu You to listen.

  Ellie Henderson did not perform for too long, but stopped after a short period of self-playing and singing.

  "Bravo!" Although it was only a short paragraph, Allie Henderson's agent applauded loudly.

   "Great!" Jiang Kailin and Wu You, who stayed with him in the lobby on the first floor, also gave a round of applause.

   "Thank you!" Allie Henderson bowed her head slightly to thank, and smiled and said, "This is a song I wrote when I was nine years old. It's just fun to play."

"This is a song she wrote when she was nine years old." Allie Henderson's program manager turned her head and translated it with a thumbs up to the camera lens on the scene, and then smiled and shook her head and exclaimed, "I am also ninety years old. Can't write it!"

Allie Henderson’s program agent is not the host of Shonan Satellite TV, but a singer named Jiang Jun who has participated in the talent show of Shonan Satellite TV. He did not act as an agent in "Singer" the year before last. Newly joined this year. He is currently a manager of a foreign company participating in the draft festival, and his English is very good. The program team arranged for him to be the program manager of the British female singer, Allie Henderson. As the program manager of Allie Henderson, Jiang Jun will naturally not let go of any opportunity to help the singer he brings to enhance the image.

  Jiang Jun wants to make Allie Henderson shine, but Wu You will not let Allie Henderson shine alone. Although Wu You's singer Jiang Kailin doesn't know how to play the piano and can't directly perform PK on the performance, but she can also make Ellie Henderson look less dazzling from the side.

   "You can't write it," Wu You said with a smile, "but we can compose and write songs in Huaxia when we are more than five years old!"

  On the level of playing the piano and the age when she started to write songs and compose, Wu You feels that Ellie Henderson is not as good as Xiao Yao. Now that the evildoer was upstairs, Wu You couldn't possibly miss it, so he naturally carried Xiao Yao out. Of course, it is definitely inappropriate for her agent to directly evaluate Ellie Henderson. She spoke to Jiang Jun, who is also an agent, but the meaning in the words implied that Ellie Henderson was not unique in this aspect of writing songs and composing music at a young age, and it was not so rare.

   "You mean Xiao Yao?" Jiang Jun quickly understood.

  Hua Xia can write songs at the age of five, and only Xiao Yao is known at present.

   "Yes, both "The Original Scenery of Hometown" and "Chongerfei" were written when he was five years old." Wu You smiled and nodded.

   "Who are you talking about?" Ellie Henderson asked curiously. She also has a Bluetooth headset with translation software in her ears, and she can also understand the Chinese they are talking about.

   "Yang Xiao, a very young music genius in China." Wu You replied in English.

"I know him!" Ellie Henderson exclaimed, "I like his song "ThinkingOutLoud" very much! A singer who has never performed in the UK, but his song can be on the British charts. After finishing third, I am very interested in him!"

"Xiao Yao, Allie Henderson know you, it seems that you are also an international superstar!" Director Li leaned behind Xiao Yao and laughed, "You, the international superstar, came to be a makeup artist for someone else, hiding in Peeking and eavesdropping here, does it harm your image as an international superstar?"

   "What international superstar? Isn't Jiang Kailin's little follower?" Xiao Yao smiled.

   "Ellie, Young sang "ThinkingOutLoud" for the first time on this show, just the year before last." Jiang Kailin also said.

   "I know," Allie Henderson nodded, "I only learned about this show after watching his singing video."

   "It turns out that you agreed to participate in this show, it is still related to Yang!" Wu You smiled, "Do you want to see him?"

   "I'm going, Wu You won't sell me now, right?" Xiao Yao whispered.

   "Of course!" Allie Henderson said in surprise, "Is he the new singer today?" She heard that there are Chinese singers who have participated in this show more than once.

   "No, he is not among the competing singers for this show this year. Today's new singer is a female singer." Wu You shook his head and smiled, "But I think you will have a chance to meet him."

   "Well, I hope so." Allie Henderson said with a little regret.

The program team did not tell the other contestants that Xiao Yao was coming. It was intended to make Xiao Yao appear in Jiang Kailin's performance and give everyone a surprise. Of course, Jiang Kailin and Wu You would not disclose to other guests in advance. Wu You said that and did it. Warm up. Everyone turned off Xiao Yao's topic, and after chatting for a while, they went upstairs and went back to their own lounges.

  After staying in the lounge for a while, the staff came to inform Jiang Kailin to go to the rehearsal. Xiao Yao is not only Jiang Kailin's makeup artist, but also the arranger of her competitive songs and the guitarist on the field. This rehearsal is also accompanied by Jiang Kailin.

The rehearsal is on the stage in the studio, and the lounge for the singers has two doors, one is in the rest hall for the singers, and the other door is connected to another channel that leads directly to the stage of the studio. That passage, at this time, the rehearsal also goes out from this place, and does not need to pass through the rest hall, so Xiao Yao doesn't have to worry about being discovered by other singers.

   Xiao Yao does not need to keep secrets from the band members, so there is no need to pretend. After following Jiang Kailin to the studio, Xiao Yao, who only wore a baseball cap, was quickly recognized by the show's music director Liu Tong and well-known musicians in the show's band for several seasons. These people have worked with Xiao Yao for a season, and they are also old acquaintances with Xiao Yao.

   "Xiao Yao, long time no see! Welcome back!" Liu Tong took the initiative to give Xiao Yao a hug, smiled and said, "I feel a lot easier when I see you."

"Do you mean that I arrange the music by myself every time, which reduces your workload?" Xiao Yao smiled. "There are several competing singers in each season, not just I am one."

  "But our favorite is you!" Amur, the piano and keyboard musician in the band, followed up and shook hands with Xiao Yao, and said with a smile.

  At that breakout match, Xiao Yao suffered a microphone failure, and his on-the-spot performance was changed to complete the entire performance without a microphone, which has become the most classic performance in the history of "Singer". In the second half of that performance, Xiao Yao’s microphoneless singing was accompanied by a band, and the two sides cooperated very well. In other words, the classic performance was completed by the singer Xiao Yao and the band directed by Liu Tong. The outstanding performance of the band directed by Liu Tong also made a very important contribution to the performance.

  In addition to admiring Xiao Yao’s awesomeness, the audience also praised their band’s on-the-spot reaction, and the leaders of the station also praised their band’s performance. Both financially and reputationally, their band has benefited a lot from that.

  In the previous season's show, Liu Tong and the entire band were very impressed with Xiao Yao. The abilities that Xiao Yao showed in that incident made them amazed, and it really brought them benefits, and they had a very good impression of Xiao Yao. Seeing Xiao Yao again at this time, the old men in these bands naturally seemed very affectionate.

  After Liu Tong and Amur, several old members of the show band also took turns shaking hands or high-fiving Xiao Yao, and greeted enthusiastically.

  When Jiang Kailin and Xiao Yao arrived, Gesanglam and several harmonizing children had also arrived. After the music director and several old band members greeted Xiao Yao, the rehearsal began immediately.

  In addition to serving as the guitarist in the band, Xiao Yao also played more of the role of one of the conductors in this rehearsal.

During the rehearsal, in addition to the music director Liu Tong, Xiao Yao also called for a stop several times. Not only did he point out some problems with Jiang Kailin, Gesang Ram and a few children in singing, but also pointed out some flaws in the band's performance. . Liu Tong and several old members of the band did not express any dissatisfaction with Xiao Yao's behavior, and the new members who joined the band last year and this year have nothing to say.

  Facts have also proved that Xiao Yao’s ear sensitivity and music level are really not weaker than Liu Tong’s existence. After everyone made adjustments according to what Xiao Yao said, the overall effect has really improved. When you look at Xiao Yao, the appreciation and admiration in everyone's eyes has become more intense.

  After the rehearsal, Jiang Kailin was called by the program staff to the recording studio for an interview. During rehearsal and formal competitions, the route of the contestants is not to pass through the lounge when they go to the studio, and pass through the lounge when they return from the studio. At this time, if you return the same way, you may meet the next singer who will come to the studio for rehearsal. Xiao Yao will feel very strange to go back alone, so Xiao Yao did not go back alone, but waited outside the studio. I am going to wait for Jiang Kailin to finish the interview before pretending to be her assistant and follow Jiang Kailin through the lounge back to her lounge.

  When Kailin Jiang came out of the interview, the on-site director who interviewed Kailin Jiang also went out of the recording studio, and Xiao Yao, who wanted to wait outside the door, also went in for an interview.

  Of course, Jiang Kailin had no opinion on interviewing Xiao Yao, and even expressed her willingness to wait outside for Xiao Yao to finish the interview before going back together. However, Xiao Yao was reluctant to accept the interview, and refused because he was not a guest in the competition. In the history of the show, there have been interviews with vocalists in the final stage, but it is indeed a precedent that there is no interview with the arranger or musician invited by a competing singer.

  It is not that Xiao Yao has such a strong principle of breaking the rules of the program, but he can guess the problems that he will face during the interview. How do you feel about returning to the show as a behind-the-scenes arranger and musician? Why would you agree to help Jiang Kailin write song arrangements, design costumes, be a musician on stage, and even design the entire performance? These are almost certainly two problems.

  The former Xiao Yao can talk about it casually, but for the latter question, Xiao Yao can’t tell the camera lens that he helped Jiang Kailin to make Wu You agree to be his assistant guest in the final of "Sound on the Scene", right? Even if Xiao Yao really thought so, he did it, but he couldn't say that publicly.

A big-name singer who was invited to "Singer" as a contestant and has more than 10 million Weibo fans in Xiao Yao's eyes is not as good as an agent in her show, and a Weibo affiliated with Xiangnan Satellite TV has less than one follower. Millions of "newcomers" host? If this goes out publicly, Xiao Yao is said to be self-willed, but the key is that it still hurts Jiang Kailin's face, kills Wu You, and makes people have an excuse to mock Jiang Kailin and help Wu You be black.

Although Jiang Kailin and Wu You are not real friends of Xiao Yao, at least they are acquaintances with good looks so far. Especially Wu You and Xiao Yao still appreciate it. Xiao Yao doesn't care about being hacked, but no matter how capricious he is, this kind of thing that may bring harm to acquaintances around him will not be easy. Since it was not a mandatory interview required by the program, Xiao Yao didn't bother to make up nonsense. It would be better to refuse the interview altogether.

   Xiao Yao insisted that he was unwilling to break the convention to accept the interview. The program team had nothing to do with him, and the on-site director for the last interview had no choice but to let him go.

  After rehearsal and interview, when you go back to the lounge, you have to pass through the lounge. Jiang Kailin opened the door of the lounge and walked in directly, but Xiao Yao immediately retreated and stopped Jiang Kailin from behind and said with the cameraman of the filming team: "Brother Zhao, give me the camera, I'll help you shoot!"

   "Why do you want to be a guest cameraman again?" Director Li smiled.

"I saw an acquaintance!" Xiao Yao pointed to the inside of the lounge. "Teacher Shazhou is down there. I don't want to be recognized by him now. I can only use the camera to block it. Of course, I will take photos of everything I should take. of!"

  When Jiang Kailin opened the door just now, Xiao Yao, who followed behind, caught a glimpse of a sandbar standing in the rest hall before he immediately retreated.

  Shazhou used to be Xiao Yao's mentor in "Good Voice", and later cooperated with Xiao Yao in electronic music programs. He has a good relationship with Xiao Yao and is relatively familiar. Before participating in this program, Shazhou had asked Xiao Yao to help him write songs and arrange music, but Xiao Yao was too busy to have time and refused. If Shazhou finds himself here, Xiao Yao knows that he will be scolded by Shazhou.

  Although Xiao Yao is going to perform on stage with Jiang Kailin tonight, it will always be exposed in the end, but Xiao Yao also hopes that this moment of facing the sandbank will come as soon as possible.

  Jiang Kailin met other singers in the lounge. It is certainly impossible to ignore the other singer and go straight to the room. It is at least polite to stop and say hello to the other singer. This also means that those who come back with Jiang Kailin will stay in the lobby on the first floor for a while.

  Xiao Yao only wore a hat, not wearing sunglasses or masks. If it’s someone else, Xiao Yao might still stand in the camera crew, but he appeared in front of Shazhou for a long time without any cover. Xiao Yao was not confident that the other party would not find out, so he acted as a cameraman again. Up. When carrying the camera, the camera's viewfinder and preview screen can cover most of the cameraman's face, which is much safer for Xiao Yao.
