Entertaining Children

"No," Chen Zhongxuan shook his head, picked up the dinner plate and said, "Xiao Yao can sing and dance, and he is also a famous genius. The contrast between him sitting together is too strong, I feel too inferior, I should find another place!"

"Senior!" Zhao Mengqi shouted with a look of fear.

"Brother Xuan, aren't you?" Xiao Yao looked at Chen Zhongxuan with a wry smile and said.

"It's okay, variety show effect!" Chen Zhongxuan winked at Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao smiled knowingly, and stopped persuading him.

Chen Zhongxuan carried the dinner plate to the other side of the dining area, Zhao Mengqi and other trainees from the same group had no choice but to follow. The trainees in Xiao Yao's group must still be with Xiao Yao. As for the other three groups without seniors in the cafeteria, one group went to Chen Zhongxuan's side, and the other two groups stayed around Xiao Yao's group. It seems that even though Chen Zhongxuan just came, Xiao Yao came a day earlier and had already contacted the trainees, Xiao Yao's popularity is still higher.

During lunch, the two groups next to them were still inquiring about the repertoire of Xiao Yao's group. Wei Yunjing and others still spoke in unison, only disclosing the progress and not mentioning what the songs and dances were like. Without being able to ask about the songs and dances of Xiao Yao's group, the girls chatted about what happened during practice yesterday and today. During this time, Xiao Yao didn't talk much, and most of the time he just listened with a smile.

Xiao Yao, a big boy, already eats much faster than girls, and since he talks less during meals, the speed is even faster. When Xiao Yao finished eating, most of the girls only ate about half of it.

"Old rules, there is a lunch break at noon, and the practice room gathers at two o'clock in the afternoon." Xiao Yao stood up with an empty plate, and ordered the six people in the same group.

"Senior, you don't have to write songs today, why are you going at noon? Are you going back to the hotel to rest?" Wei Yunjing asked.

"Going back to the hotel is too troublesome, I should just rest in the practice room." Xiao Yao said. There are several cushions, cushions, pillows and the like in the practice room. Xiao Yao slept on the floor of the practice room yesterday and didn't feel too uncomfortable.

"Then we won't be in the dormitory at noon, so we'll find you in the practice room!" Chen Ziwei said.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded with a smile, "Resting doesn't necessarily mean sleeping. If we don't practice before two o'clock, we can find something to play with!"

"Okay!" The six people in the same group obviously speeded up their eating.

"Senior Xiao Yao, can we go too?" Someone from the two groups next to him asked.

"better not.

"Xiao Yao shook his head, "It's not that you are not welcome, but that the seniors of Zhongxuan are here, and I guess the other seniors should be here almost soon. You are not so short, right? If they find you staying with me after they come, what do you make those seniors think? "

"Oh! It seems to be the same!" Everyone thought that this was indeed the case, and nodded involuntarily.

Xiao Yao didn't speak any more, put the empty dinner plate in the tableware recycling place, and left the cafeteria.

"Xiao Yao, wait!" Xiao Yao had just walked out of the cafeteria when a shout came from behind.

"Brother Xuan, what's the matter?" Xiao Yao stopped and turned around, only to find that Chen Zhongxuan had chased him out, and asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Chen Zhongxuan pulled Xiao Yao out for a few steps, looked back at everyone in the cafeteria, and then whispered to Xiao Yao, "Xiao Yao, you should also listen to Teacher Ke and Sister Xiang Lan. As I said, I’m really not good at singing and dancing, I’m really afraid that I’ll blow up the performance during the public performance!”

"Then you're still here?" Xiao Yao asked with a smile.

"No way, the company arranged it. You think everyone is like you, and you can decide what job you take!" Chen Zhongxuan said helplessly.

"Since it was arranged by the company, your agency should be very clear about your situation. Even if the show fails, you can't be blamed." Xiao Yao said, "Besides, there are many professional teachers in this show. There are five or six days, as long as you practice hard, you may not be able to perform badly, right?"

"But I'm guilty!" Chen Zhongxuan said, "It's nothing if I screwed up on my own performance. I'm not a singer or dancer anyway, but this performance is very important to those younger sisters. I'm afraid that it will drag down those in my group." indivual!"

"Yo~ You care so much about them?" Xiao Yao laughed in surprise.

"You don't care?" Chen Zhongxuan rolled his eyes at Xiao Yao and said, "You don't care and you came a day earlier than us?"

"Okay, I am also very concerned!" Xiao Yao stopped arguing, and spread his hands, "But what do you mean by telling me this?"

"I mean, of course, please give me some advice." Chen Zhongxuan said, "You are a good singer and dancer, much better than me. I just want to ask you if there is any special way to help me." I improve in the short term."

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "Don't say that I don't know any way to improve a person's singing and dancing ability in the short term. Training. You just follow the teacher arranged by the program group and practice well, won’t it be over? Just do your best!”

"Of course I'll practice well, but don't I want to find some solutions from you?" Chen Zhongxuan said, "Teacher Ke and the others have said more than once that you have many ideas, and you always go with them when you go to Kuaiben Designing the program flow and script. Even if you don’t care about Mr. Ke’s face, you still have to consider that we are alumni from the same school, so please help me, right?”

"In terms of training, I really have nothing to do." Xiao Yao said, "But in terms of performance, I can give you some advice."

"Really? What suggestion?" Chen Zhongxuan said happily.

"Although you are not good in singing and dancing, you are a graduate of the Department of Performing Arts, and you can act!" Xiao Yao said, "Why do you use your weaknesses to avoid your strengths? Leave the singing and dancing parts to the trainees. Wouldn’t it be enough for you to go on stage and just act?”

"What do you mean?" Chen Zhongxuan didn't quite understand.

"It means to design your performance stage as a stage play!" Xiao Yao said, "Although all of your groups have specified songs and dances, I heard that dance movements cannot be modified, so of course the form of performance will be different. It’s not impossible to change. You suggested to the program team to turn your performance into a musical or stage play. If the teachers of the program team can’t do it, you can do it yourself. Let the trainees be responsible for singing and dancing, and you are mainly responsible for acting. Integrating yourself into the plot is also a form of supporting performance, and it happens to be what you are good at."

"Good idea!" Chen Zhongxuan clapped his hands happily, hugged Xiao Yao and said, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Xiao Yao smiled and patted Chen Zhongxuan on the shoulder.

"Okay, then I'll go back to eat." Chen Zhongxuan let go of Xiao Yao and said, "In order to chase you, I haven't finished my meal yet!"

"Uh~" Xiao Yao choked for a moment.

After bidding farewell to Chen Zhongxuan, Xiao Yao strolled back to the practice room. After waiting for a long time, six trainees from the same group came together.

"Senior, what are we doing at noon?" Chen Ziwei asked Xiao Yao excitedly as soon as he entered the practice room.

After getting along for a day and a half, everyone was indeed much more casual towards Xiao Yao.

"What do you want to play?" Xiao Yao also asked with a casual smile.

"We want to see your performance!" Lu Mingshuang said quickly, "I just heard you sing a few songs yesterday morning, and I feel like I haven't enjoyed it yet."

"That won't work!" Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "You can't just work hard on me alone."

"Hey~ The senior is so disrespectful!" the six people said dissatisfied.

"How about this," Xiao Yao suggested, "Let's play a game, and whoever loses will perform for everyone. This is more fair!" Saying this, Xiao Yao looked at the filming crew in the practice room. This kind of talent show is also a way to win shots for several people. Even if the feature film is not broadcast, there will be a lot of behind-the-scenes special material.

"Sure," Wei Yunjing nodded with a smile, "Then what are you playing?"

"Count the frogs?" Lu Mingshuang suggested.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded in agreement.

"The senior is the top scorer in the science college entrance examination, I think we may not be able to play him!" Chen Ziwei said, "I'm afraid that we will perform in the end, and the senior will just sit and watch the show."

"Elementary school students can count frogs, right? Does it have anything to do with the top scorer in science?" Xiao Yao said with a smile. , I have to perform shows all the time, and the shows may not be enough."

"Good!" Everyone agreed.

Seven people randomly sat in a circle on the floor, and the game began.

"Turn clockwise!" Xiao Yao said, "Come on first!" Starting from the most ignorant one, Xiao Yao obviously has the intention of taking care of her.

"A frog with one mouth, two eyes and four legs jumped into the water with a plop!" Lai Zhaodi said.

"Two frogs..." Yang Shiyun on the side continued.

"Three Frogs..."

"Four frogs..."

Xiao Yao ranked fifth, but when she was fourth, Wu Huiyi made a mistake. He said less with a plop, and was immediately picked out by everyone.

"Show!" everyone yelled.

Wu Huiyi didn't hesitate, she stood up and said, "Let me sing a song for everyone!"

"Although your vocal performance is nothing new, it is barely acceptable." Xiao Yao waved his hand and said, "It doesn't need to be so formal, just sit and sing!"

"Then come something new, I'll sing a French song for everyone!" Wu Huiyi said.

"Wow~" everyone cheered together.

"A few of us don't understand French, but here are some who understand French!" Wei Yunjing laughed, "If you sing the wrong song, you will be caught out. Don't try to be fooled!"

When Wei Yunjing said this, everyone looked at Xiao Yao.

"Then ask the senior for advice." Wu Huiyi smiled.

"Don't worry, I promise not to say anything, just enjoy quietly!" Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hands, "This is not a competition, it sounds fun!"

Wu Huiyi didn't force her, she cleared her throat and sang a French song for everyone.

After singing a song, everyone gave a burst of applause, and then the game continued. Wu Huiyi withdrew from the circle and sat behind Xiao Yao as a bystander.

This time Xiao Yao clicked on Lu Mingshuang who was in front of Laizhaodi and said first, Laizhaodi was second, Yang Shiyun was third, Chen Ziwei was fourth, Wei Yunjing was fifth, and Xiao Yao was sixth. This time, he still didn't come to Xiao Yao's place. The fifth Wei Yunjing made a mistake.

Wei Yunjing's strongest talent is dancing. Of course, she stood up and performed a dance for everyone when she was training in a Korean girl group, which also won everyone's applause.

After the performance, Wei Yunjing withdrew and the game continued.

In the third round, Wei Yunjing, who withdrew, chose the initial candidate, and Wei Yunjing chose Yang Shiyun as the first one. This time, Xiao Yao and several others passed the test smoothly, and Lai Zhaodi, who was ranked fifth, made a mistake.

"I don't seem to have any talent!" Laizhaodi said in embarrassment after being arrested, "Singing and dancing, I am much worse than Huiyi and Brother Liqing."

"Talent shows don't have to be singing and dancing," Xiao Yao reminded with a smile, "I heard that you have done live broadcasts before? Show us the more interesting ones."

"That's okay too?" Lai Zhaodi said.

"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded.

"Okay!" Lai Zhaodi stretched out a hand, imitating the appearance of holding a mobile phone selfie stick in her hand, and started live broadcasting to the non-existent mobile phone camera.

"Yo, there is no physical performance!" Xiao Yao laughed, "This talent show also has a very famous name!"

"Ha~" The other girls all laughed.

Lai Zhaodi's live performance did not have much technical content, but what Shengzai said was interesting, and her cute appearance was also very lovable, and finally passed the level amidst everyone's laughter.

In the fourth round, Yang Shiyun made a mistake. She ran to the piano in the practice room and sang an English song by herself. This is actually the form of her performance when she first appeared in the placement assessment, but it was just a different song. From Xiao Yao's point of view, she does play the piano very well.

In the fifth round, Lu Mingshuang was eliminated. The show she performed was also dancing, but it was not in the same style as Wei Yunjing, but a two-dimensional dance that is very famous on the Internet. It's a pity that there is no cosplay costume, otherwise the effect may be much better.

In the sixth round, Xiao Yao and Chen Ziwei were the only ones left. The two kept talking about thirteen frogs before Chen Ziwei lost the battle. Chen Ziwei didn't sing or dance, but told everyone a joke in an ingenious way. The joke is average, but her expression is very rich, and the effect of amusing is very good. In the end, she successfully completed her performance in this show.

The remaining Xiao Yao is the final winner of this game, but the six girls did not let him go. Everyone has performed, so naturally Xiao Yao can't be pulled down.

At this time, Xiao Yao didn't hold back anymore, and nodded with a smile in agreement to the show.

"Senior, what are you performing?" Chen Ziwei asked curiously.

"Play and sing?" Yang Shiyun glanced at the upright piano in the practice room.

"You have already performed, what's the point of me performing again!" Xiao Yao took out a coin from his pocket and said, "I will make a magic trick for you!"

"Magic?" The six asked with great interest.

Xiao Yao nodded, put the coin held in his right hand in the palm of his left hand, and then covered it with his right hand. The closed palms stood up and slowly opened towards the six people.

"Eh? It's gone?" The six found that no coins had fallen, and Xiao Yao's palms were also empty.

The six people wanted to move towards Xiao Yao strangely, but Xiao Yao put his hands together again, then stretched out his right palm facing upwards and his left palm facing downwards, and slowly raised his left hand, the coin appeared on Xiao Yao's face again. In the palm of the right hand.

"Wow~ There's it again!" The six people applauded in surprise.

Xiao Yao smiled, tilted his right hand slowly, and the coin slid down to the floor. Xiao Yao clapped his right hand, covering the coin on the floor, and when he lifted it up again, there was no trace of the coin on the floor.

Before the six people could cry out in surprise, Xiao Yao slapped the ground with his right hand again, and when he raised his hand again, the coin reappeared on the floor.

"Do you understand?" Chen Ziwei rubbed his eyes, looked at the other people beside him and asked.

"No!" Several girls shook their heads together.

"Senior, how did you do it? Teach me!" Chen Ziwei looked at Xiao Yao and said.

"The secret of magic can't be revealed casually!" Xiao Yao smiled and flicked the coin in his hand into the air.

Chen Ziwei quickly grabbed it in his hand, and watched carefully. But no matter how you look at it, it is an ordinary coin.

"Give it to you, let's figure it out for yourself!" Xiao Yao smiled, took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, "It's past one o'clock, I don't want to play anymore, let's take a rest, dancing practice in the afternoon is exhausting."

"Senior, why don't you give us some music!" Yang Shiyun asked again.

"Okay! Let me play some soothing music to help you relax!" Xiao Yao stood up and sat down on the piano bench next to the upright piano.

"Oh yeah~" Several girls shouted happily, holding pillows and cushions, or lying or leaning on themselves to find a comfortable position for enjoying.

Xiao Yao shook his head and smiled, and played the song "Sundial Dreams".

"It sounds good!" Wei Yunjing whispered with eyes closed and enjoyed.

"It sounds so comfortable!" Chen Ziwei couldn't help but yawned and closed her eyes.

After playing a song, the practice room was quiet. Xiao Yao heard neither the applause from the six people nor the praise from any of them, so he couldn't help but look at the six people curiously.

It may be that the morning practice time requested by Xiao Yao is still a bit early, and it is easier to get sleepy after eating at noon, and the piece played by Xiao Yao is indeed very comfortable and relaxing. The six people fell asleep without knowing it while listening to this piece by Xiao Yao.

"Are you really daydreaming?" Xiao Yao couldn't help laughing as he looked at the six people with their eyes closed, breathing evenly, and their chests rising and falling slightly.
