Chapter 824 Adjustments and Changes
After the first performance of Yanjing, Xiao Yao rushed to the airport with the whole team and flew overnight to the city of Xi’an, the next stop of the tour.
When we arrived in Xi’an, it was already early in the morning. After everyone checked into the hotel booked in advance, they all fell asleep.
According to the previous arrangement, this tour is all morning rest, afternoon rehearsal, evening performance, midnight and early morning. The next morning, Xiao Yao did not go out after getting up, nor disturbed the band’s musicians to rest. After going to the hotel restaurant for breakfast, Xiao Yao went back to his room, surfing the Internet and thinking about the evening performance.
In general, last night’s performance was definitely a success, but after all, it was the first commercial performance organized and arranged by himself. Xiao Yao still felt that there were some problems and wanted to make some adjustments later. After last night’s performance, there should also be relevant news on the Internet. Since there is a need to adjust, Xiao Yao also wants to check the opinions of netizens and fans online, and consider it comprehensively.
Last night’s performance, Xiao Yao did not prohibit the audience from using their mobile phones to take pictures or take videos. At that time, many people took photos with their mobile phones. After the performance, many viewers uploaded their live photos or videos to the Internet.
Xiao Yao personally went to the gate to check tickets and stamps, refused to enter the venue, and sold tickets at the “lottery”. The opening was a new song cooperating with Azi, interesting interactions with the audience fans during the performance, and finally the audience came to the stage to dance. Being an Encore, there are really many highlights of the whole show.
Almost no one in the live audience can record all the highlights from more than an hour before the opening to the end of the performance, but there are a lot of live audiences who posted the video. Combining all the released videos, it can almost be pieced together to restore it. The process of last night’s performance.
Although the scale of the LiveHouse tour is a bit smaller, as Xiao Yao’s first public tour, this event is still being watched by many netizens and fans. Many fans who have not grabbed tickets are also waiting for those who have been to the scene. Of people post photos and videos. When the photos and videos of the first performance appeared, they quickly spread on the Internet. Not only netizens and fans talked about it, they reposted it and discussed it. The entertainment media reposted it, and even some celebrities who had a good relationship with Xiao Yao also participated.
Thousands of tickets for the nine tours are not worried about selling. Xiao Yao did not make any publicity at all except for posting a Weibo, but this does not mean that Xiao Yao’s tour is completely without publicity. Many star singers who have a good relationship with Xiao Yao, after seeing Xiao Yao’s Weibo, also reposted and sent blessings such as “I wish the show a success”. After the various videos of the first show appeared and circulated, the star singers who knew that Xiao Yao was on tour also saw them, and then posted new Weibo posts one after another.
“I watched the video of Xiao Yao’s LiveHouse performance last night, I really want to go to the scene! But now all the tickets for the show are sold out and I can’t buy the tickets. Are there any friends who are willing to transfer the tickets for the next few shows? Buy it at a high price!”
From the videos circulating on the Internet, Xiao Yao’s performance is very interesting. This time, in addition to the Weibo congratulating Xiao Yao on the success of his first performance, some singers publicly asked netizens for votes on Weibo.
Star singers want to go to a show and ask for help from netizens and fans because they don’t have a ticket. This is also a rare sight. As soon as these microblogs were published, they also aroused ridicule from many netizens.
Some netizens asked them to go directly to Xiao Yao to ask for votes in their replies on Weibo, but they replied that Xiao Yao didn’t even give the reporter’s face, so they shouldn’t break Xiao Yao’s rules and honestly rely on votes to compare. it is good. When such a reply came out, it also surprised many netizens.
After some consideration, Xiao Yao called Fang Still to discuss it. In the end, Xiao Yao not only made some adjustments to the Xi’an station tour tonight, but also made some new arrangements for the next few stations. Xiao Yao took care of the changes in the content of the performance, and Fang still took care of the work that needed to communicate with other parties.
One morning, Xiao Yao and Fang still worked on the changes and modifications to the tour. In the afternoon, Xiao Yao and the band went to rehearse in the practice room where the place was booked in advance, and Fang still went to implement the changes.
Xi’an is the second stop of Xiaoyao’s LiveHouse tour. The venue is a LiveHouse called Aperture Club. It was also 6 o’clock in the evening, and there was a long queue of fans and audience waiting for admission in front of the very famous LiveHouse in Xi’an.
After the fans arrived, they soon discovered that the name of the show had changed.
Although Xiao Yao’s tour did not prepare his own record, photos, posters and other goods signing activities, LiveHouse always puts up or affixes a poster telling the performance content at the door of each performance. In the previous performance at Yanjing Station, the name of the performance on the poster at the entrance of LiveHouse was the same as “Night of Folk Songs” as the online ticket sales, but on the poster at the entrance of this LiveHouse, the name of the performance became “Want to sing me I’ll listen to you”.
There is Xiao Yao’s portrait and name on the poster, and some people who have watched the video of last night’s performance know that “Want to sing me to you” is the opening track of last night’s performance, but no one thinks that they have found the wrong place, and they reacted quickly. Come over, Xiao Yao, this is to change the name of the show. Change the name at will on the way of the tour. From this behavior, fans can also feel Xiao Yao’s randomness.
Before the ticket check began, the fans in the line had been staring at the staff at the door, obviously wondering if Xiao Yao would run out to check and stamp their tickets like the one in Yanjing. But to their disappointment, the staff at the door did not have any disguise and could see the whole picture at a glance, and there was no Xiao Yao among them.
This time, Xiao Yao honestly stayed in the backstage lounge after arriving, and did not go to the gate to be a guest ticket inspector to stamp the audience.
After the ticket check started, several unwilling fans also called for Xiao Yao to come out and stamp them. However, the staff did not go in and inform as everyone wanted, but had been prepared to answer everyone Xiao Yao’s preparatory work before the performance, and did not have time to come out to stamp everyone.
The staff explained that because Yanjing was the first performance, Xiao Yao went to Yanjing two days in advance to make preparations. For this second performance, Xiao Yao only arrived in Xi’an early this morning. The situation is different. Besides, Xiao Yao is here to perform, and his job is not to stamp, so the fans just shouted a few words, and did not insist too much.
However, although Xiao Yao did not come out to check and seal the ticket today, there are still cases of temporary on-site ticket sales. After all the audience with tickets entered the venue, there were still more than a hundred fans who could not enter the venue without tickets. The old method is that each person receives a number, and then draws the number on the spot. The lucky ones who draw the number will buy a ticket at the original price. The difference from the previous one is that because the venue of this LiveHouse is larger and the reserved space is larger, the lucky ones who bought tickets on the spot were not 30 people, but forty-five people, which is more than last time. half.
At eight o’clock in the evening, the performance officially began.
Xiao Yao walked onto the stage with his guitar on his back as in the previous one. There was also no host, no narration introduction, Xiao Yao did the job of introducing the scene for himself.
After the performance began, Xiao Yao still invited Azi out first. The first song in the performance is still the song “Want to Sing Me to You” with Azi.
Xiao Yao has a long-term mission to help Azi gain a foothold in the music scene, and plans to put Azi on the stage of this year’s Spring Festival Gala. His own tour is also a very good opportunity for publicity. Of course Xiao Yao will not let it go. The first selected guest is A Zi. This song “Want to Sing Me to You” is also to let A Zi be here this time. I wrote it out for a better appearance during the tour.
According to the original plan, Xiao Yao only planned to let Azi participate in the three stops of the tour. But after yesterday’s performance, Xiao Yao felt that the effect was very good, and the meaning of the song was also very suitable, so he changed the name of the tour to the name of the song, and decided to use this song with Azi for all nine performances. The first song of the same name is the opening.
Of course, Xiao Yao changed the name of the tour not just to sing the song with Azi at the opening.
In the beginning, Xiao Yao didn’t plan to arrange a solo performance by the guests. In terms of Xiao Yao’s current ability and physical strength, a two-hour performance is no problem. But after last night, Xiao Yao discovered that although he could hold on by himself, he still had a lot of burden on his throat if he kept vocalizing for two hours. There will be eight performances in the future, and it must be worse as you get to the back. Xiao Yao didn’t want to compromise the performance, nor did he want to be too tired, so he decided to add a solo performance by the guests in the next few performances, so that his voice could take a break.
The price of Xiao Yao’s performance was set low because he didn’t plan to make money, but he also didn’t plan to post money in. There was no guest fee in the budget. Without the budget for invited guests, Xiao Yao didn’t feel embarrassed to invite many guests. He just chose a few people who didn’t have the money and embarrassed to call. But since some people have asked netizens for tickets on Weibo, they are obviously still very interested in his performance. There must be no tickets. It is estimated that it is difficult for them to get them online, so it shouldn’t be a problem for them to play as guests.
This decision was made this morning. It must be too late to find someone temporarily, and tomorrow will be more appropriate as soon as possible. Xiao Yao naturally hit his mind on Azi who came to Xi’an with him. After yesterday’s performance, Xiao Yao felt that the audience in his performance was still very receptive to Azi, so he planned to let Azi perform his own songs. Not to mention that Azi’s two songs are not folk songs, and many of the guests planned by Xiao Yao do not sing folk songs. It is not appropriate to use the name “Folk Song Night”, so this is why Xiao Yao temporarily changed the name of the tour. One reason.
Although Xiao Yao intends to let Azi perform alone in the second stop, Xiao Yao let the guests perform so that his voice can rest, and he will definitely not let Azi play in the second song at the beginning of the show.
After singing the first song in the opening show, Azi left the stage with the microphone on a microphone stand just like in the first show.
After Azi left the stage, a musician also walked onto the stage and stood in front of the microphone that Azi left behind. However, the musicians on stage this time are different from the previous performance. They are not a male musician holding a harmonica, but a female musician holding a flute.
“The next second song has something to do with where we are now,” Xiao Yao pointed at his feet and said, “because the first time I sang this song, it was in a small bar in Xi’an. ”
Xiao Yao not only changed the name of the tour, but also added guest performances. Even the repertoire he sang has undergone some changes compared with the previous one.
“Oh ” Some fans in the audience knew which song Xiao Yao was talking about, and raised their hands and cheered. Other audiences showed a trace of dazedness.
“Speaking of it, I don’t seem to have released the official version of this song yet.” Xiao Yao saw the blank-faced audience, suddenly scratched his hair, and said embarrassedly, “It seems that some friends have not watched the online video. .”
“But that’s okay,” Xiao Yao laughed again. “For those who have not watched online videos, this is a new song. You can hear two new songs that have not yet been released in a performance, everyone is Don’t you feel more pleasantly surprised?”
The audience below “Yu ” laughed and made some boos.
“Actually, there are surprises for those who have watched the video,” Xiao Yao ignored the boos and continued to laugh, “because I was temporarily called on stage by fans, and I only had a guitar. Accompaniment. Compared with the official version of the soundtrack, that version lacks a very important instrument. Today I bring the original version of the complete soundtrack to everyone, I believe it will also give those friends who have heard this song a different experience.”
“The very important instrument in this song is the flute,” Xiao Yao said, reaching out to the musician standing next to him. “I would also like to introduce this star musician who was specially invited to cooperate. Du Xiaowen, the beautiful musician of the orchestra “Women’s Band”!”
“Women’s Band” is not as popular as it was when it was first launched a few years ago, and there have been some changes in personnel. However, there are many performance opportunities every year, and it is still a good orchestra. After several years of development, they can be considered to have a firm foothold in the music world, and they still have a good reputation in the hearts of music fans.
“Women’s Band” is a star artist group under Qi Jia Studio, but its essence is still an orchestra, which has the function of accompaniment for singers. Last year, after Xiao Yao invited the “Women’s Band” to accompany him on “Singer”, the “Women’s Band” also followed a small fire. When folk musicians were needed for this tour, Xiao Yao naturally thought of the “Women’s Band”. .
Du Xiaowen was one of the four folk musicians who recorded the soundtrack for “New Drunken Concubine” when Xiao Yao recorded his first album, and was responsible for playing the flute. She is one of the first four people who met Xiao Yao in the “Women’s Band”, and this time she was specially invited by Xiao Yao to perform this song.
Although it is only a LiveHouse tour, Xiao Yao will also introduce the musicians on stage to the audience during the performance, just like some star concerts. Xiao Yao usually introduces musicians in the middle of the performance, but Du Xiaowen is a star musician in the star orchestra, and he is also a guest specially invited by him, so Xiao Yao specially introduced it separately when performing this song.
“Oh ”
Sure enough, after Xiao Yao introduced the star musicians in the “Women’s Band”, the applause and cheers from the audience for Du Xiaowen were obviously louder than the voices of the audience when Xiao Yao introduced the band members yesterday. .
Different from the lively nature of Zhou Jin, another veteran in the orchestra, Du Xiaowen has always been a quieter temperament. Hearing the applause and cheers of the audience, Du Xiaowen just smiled and nodded, even if she said hello to the audience.
“Speaking of this song, I think of someone coming.” After introducing the musicians, Xiao Yao still didn’t start performing, but looked at the audience below and said, “I want to ask, Miss Yu’er is here. ?”
“Xiao Yao, you big liar!” a girl near the front row below shouted.
“Oh ” There was an exclamation in the audience below.
Xiao Yao looked in the direction of the voice, and she saw the girl named Xie Yu that she met in a bar in Xi’an last time.
“Didn’t you say that your name is Min Jia?” Xie Yu shouted again.
“Huh?” The audience looked at Xiao Yao on the stage strangely, with gossip light flashing in their eyes, “Is there any story between these two people?”
Fans who were traveling with Xiao Yao only took videos of Xiao Yao singing in the bar, and there was no need to record the following conversations with Xie Yu, the bar owner, and the band. There was no related video, so there was no need to record it. Several people know why that girl called Xiao Yao “MinJia”.
“I acted secretly with the fans at that time, isn’t it inconvenient to reveal my real name?” Xiao Yao smiled, “Furthermore, I told you that I was talking about a fake name!”
“When did you tell me?” Xie Yu asked strangely.
“You read the name Min Jia upside down.” Xiao Yao reminded with a smile.
“Min Jia, Jia Min? Kana!” Many audience members chanted it twice as quietly as Xie Yu, and they reacted at once.
“Haha ” Some viewers laughed. Although I don’t know what happened, it is indeed very Xiao Yao just this way of doing things.
“Huh, don’t you tell me, who can think of it!” Xie Yu exclaimed dissatisfiedly, “I not only gave you wine for you stupidly, but after I went back that night, I also looked for someone called “Min Jia” on the Internet for a long time. It was not that someone posted a video of you singing in the Xu Ge bar on the Internet. I didn’t know that it was you originally!”
“By the way, thank you for your wine!” Xiao Yao smiled, “The bottle of wine was later drunk when we were camping in Guangyuan.”
“Well, Brother Wang, at the end of a while, give this sister a bottle of “Johnny Walker” to take away, and it will be charged to my account!” Xiao Yao shouted to the bar in the distance.
“Who cares about your wine?” Xie Yu was still dissatisfied, “How do you calculate the account you lied to me? As a star, it is so sad to cheat fans!”
“How can I count it?” Xiao Yao said helplessly, “I’m looking for you, just to see if you have come and have you received a ticket from me. Although this is not a concert, there are no VIP seats, but you are The only one of the nine tours who don’t need to buy tickets by myself and let me deliver them, do you know that many celebrities are now asking for tickets for my performances online? Also, there was no Xi’an station in my tour plan. , I just remembered that I had promised to invite you to watch my performance, so I put Xi’an in this tour plan. Isn’t this enough to offset the resentment of giving you a fake name?”
“Really?” Xie Yu asked.
“I swear!” Xiao Yao raised three fingers and said.
Actually, when Xiao Yao chose the city to tour, he did see Xie Yu’s business card and decided that Xi’an was one of the stops.
“Wow Xiao Yao decided to perform in Xi’an because of her?” There was an exclamation in the audience.
At this moment, the eyes of the audience watching Xie Yu were all envious.
“Okay, then I will forgive you! Come on, sing well!” Xie Yu finally smiled and waved to Xiao Yao in a cheering gesture.
Not long after the video of Xiao Yao singing in a bar appeared on the Internet, Xie Yu already knew that the “Min Jia” he met was Xiao Yao. Xie Yu was very pleased to think that she had actually communicated face-to-face with a big star, and she naturally became a big fan of Xiao Yao. As a die-hard fan, he naturally understands Xiao Yao’s character and style. Xie Yu’s anger just now was basically she pretended to be deliberate, but it was actually to help Xiao Yao enliven the atmosphere on the scene. Now that Xiao Yao said that, she really couldn’t play it anymore.
“Okay, here is a song that was premiered in a Xi’an bar, “Painting”!” Xiao Yao introduced with a smile.
