Entertaining Children

   Chapter 887

   "Miss Jiang, sorry," Xiao Yao said to Jiang Kailin after re-entering the reception room and sitting down, "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

"It's okay!" Jiang Kailin smiled and shook her head. "By the way, you can just call me Kailin. Although it is the first time we met, everyone is a singer and will inevitably meet again in the future. Even if we know each other today, we don't need to So polite."

   "Okay!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "Just call me Xiao Yao directly."

   "Xiao Yao," Jiang Kailin adjusted her sitting posture before continuing, "I am looking for you this time to discuss the copyright of a song with you."

   "Oh?" Xiao Yao said, "It's not an invitation to the song, but a direct talk about copyright. Are you fancying the old songs I have published?"

"It's not an old song that has been released, but a new song that you have written, but has not yet been recorded." Jiang Kailin said, "I heard Wu You say that you have a Cantonese song you have written and you haven't found a good singer yet. There is no recording. I am from Hong Kong Island, and I have also released a Cantonese album. I am very interested in your Cantonese song. I don’t know if it is suitable to sing your Cantonese song. If it is suitable, I want to buy it. The original singing copyright of your Cantonese song. Of course, if you are willing to help me create other songs, I can't ask for it, and I can also ask you for another song!"

   "Is that the song I read the narration on "Sound in the Scene"?" Xiao Yao glanced at Wu You, then turned to ask Jiang Kailin.

   "Yes!" Jiang Kailin nodded, "That's it."

   "That song hasn't been published yet. You don't even know the lyrics and music. Are you interested?" Xiao Yao smiled.

"I don't know what the lyrics of that song look like, but didn't you read the two narrations of that song on "Sounds in the Scene"?" Jiang Kailin said, "I heard Wu You read those two narrations , I am very impressed. The reputation and quality of your music works are very good. I am very confident in your creative strength. The narration of the song is very good. I guess it should not be you casually writing and playing, but spent A sincere work of the mind. I believe the quality of the whole song is definitely not bad, and it is worth my trip for that song."

   "Thank you for your affirmation of my ability." Xiao Yao smiled and bowed his head in greeting.

   "Then do you think I am suitable for singing that song?" Jiang Kailin asked.

   "It should be possible!" Xiao Yao touched his chin and considered for a while, then nodded.

   "Then can I see what the lyrics of that song look like now?" Jiang Kailin said happily.

   "Of course," Xiao Yao turned his head and said to the assistant Pei Minyi beside him, "Minyi, you can go to my office to help get the lyrics and music scores. The song title is the copy of "One Plus One"."

   "Okay!" Pei Minyi nodded and agreed, and pushed the door out of the reception room.

   "Listen to this, you have written more than one song?" Jiang Kailin laughed.

   "Well the creator, just write and play when you have nothing to do." Xiao Yao said, "The lyrics and music scores of a few songs are normal."

   "Sure enough, he is a creative talent!" Jiang Kailin complimented.

   "Thank you!" Xiao Yao smiled.

  Not long after, Pei Minyi came back with a few lyrics and music scores. Pei Minyi handed the score to Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao took it and looked at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he handed it to Jiang Kailin on the opposite side.

   After Jiang Kailin took it from Xiao Yao, she immediately looked down and hummed softly in her mouth as she watched it.

  "It is indeed a very rare and good song." After Jiang Kailin finished humming, she smiled and said to Xiao Yao, "I like it very much!"

   "Just like it!" Xiao Yao smiled.

  "Then can you sell me the original copyright of this song?" Jiang Kailin said, "The price is good for negotiation. I believe I can definitely give you a price that satisfies you."

"I don't care about the price, this is my agent's responsibility, but as long as I agree to sell, this aspect is generally not a problem. My agent won't speak loudly." Xiao Yao said, "but , It’s not time to talk about the price yet."

  Hearing what Xiao Yao said before, Jiang Kailin was still very happy, but when he heard Xiao Yao’s words behind, Jiang Kailin's enthusiasm quickly faded, and she asked with some worry, "What do you mean? Don't you think I am suitable for singing this song?"

   "You are indeed suitable, but there are still some problems in it." Xiao Yao said, "First of all, did you find that this song actually requires two people to sing together?"

  Xiao Yao said in "Sounds on the Scene" that his bright voice performance is the narration of a Cantonese song of his own, so this song will be released sooner or later. Xiao Yao didn't know many female singers who sang Cantonese songs. He didn't write this song for a certain female singer. It is not a problem to sing it to Jiang Kailin. The problem is that the song was sung by two female singers, and now only Jiang Kailin is going to sing his song.

"Even if it is sold to a record company, the song I write is designated by myself to sing the singer, and I don't care about the cover, at least the original song of the song is designated by me." Xiao Yao continued, "This song, I I don’t think you have any problem as one of the singers, but this song requires two singers, and I have no idea about the other one. Since it involves three performers, the copyright issue must wait for these three. The performers will talk after they have confirmed."

   "Three?" Jiang Kailin said, "Aren't the two female singers working together? How come you have become three again?"

"There is also a narration!" Xiao Yao reminded with a smile, "The two female singers are responsible for the singing part, and one is responsible for the narration. But don't worry about the narration performers. I have performed part of the performance on "The Realm", then I will still be responsible for the narration of the official version, so we only lack another female singer now."

   "Only another female singer is missing," Jiang Kailin asked, "Are there any requirements? Can I recommend a singer candidate for you to collaborate with?"

"Of course you can recommend it to me," Xiao Yao nodded. "This is a Cantonese song. The basic requirement is a female singer who can speak Cantonese. You can recommend female singers you are more familiar with and feel better together. As for It’s up to me to judge whether this song is appropriate."

"One more point." Xiao Yao added, "I know that many singers have their own royal producers, but since I am responsible for the narration of this song and participated in the performance of this song, then this song must be I do it myself, and I can’t find another producer to be responsible. Whether it’s you or another singer, you must agree to this."

"I know that you are not only an excellent singer and music composer, but also a very excellent music producer." Jiang Kailin said immediately, "You want to record this song by yourself. I can't ask for it. I believe many singers do. Everyone thinks so, so this is definitely not a problem."

"Then there is no problem." Xiao Yao said, "I can guarantee that you will be one of the singers of this song. When the candidate of another female singer is confirmed, let's talk about the copyright and recording of this song. ."

   "Okay, no problem!" Jiang Kailin nodded.

"I suddenly have an idea." Jiang Kailin said to Xiao Yao, "You let me recommend it to a female singer who is more familiar with me and feels better when working with me. The "Singer" finals have a help sing session, as well as the guest performers. Please help sing guests. If I can enter the finals of "Singer", I will also ask guests to help sing, and the invited guests must also be familiar with me and feel better together with singers, then can we put this Get the song to be sung in the final of "Singer"?"

"It's no problem to sing this song to the final." Xiao Yao shrugged and said, "But I want to remind you that you can only hire one guest to help sing in the final of "Singer". According to this rule, if you are in If I sing this song in the finals, whether I personally want it or not, the narrator of me should not be able to appear on the "Singer" stage with another singer as your guest singer. At that time, I will only The narration can be recorded in advance and played in the background music of the accompaniment."

  At present, there is still no third narration in "One Plus One". Xiao Yao is going to stay in the final of "Sound Immersion". However, "Singer" has a total of thirteen issues, which is more than "Sound on the Scene", and the final time is later than "Sound on the Scene". When the final of "Singer" was broadcast live, the final of "Sound on the Scene" should have already been broadcast, so Xiao Yao didn't mind letting "One Plus One" make its debut in the final of "Singer".

   "This is fine too!" Jiang Kailin smiled, "As long as the narration is you!"

"Okay," Xiao Yao said, "If you make it to the finals and we have identified another female singer before then, we will record the official version of this song before the finals, and I will also help you Record a narration."

  "The "Singer" stage? I can't help singing guests, I can also be a musician. Even if I can't help on stage, I can still work behind the scenes!" Hearing Xiao Yao's words, Wu You couldn't help thinking.

"Xiao Yao, you should be relatively free this time? Don't you want to go to the "Singer" stage to play again?" Wu You saw that Xiao Yao and Jiang Kailin seemed to be talking pretty well, so he asked Xiao Yao, "The year before last. In the "Singer" program, you helped Liang Xueying arrange music, design costumes and stage lighting, and you also helped her as an electronic DJ on stage. Are you interested in playing again this year?"

  There are still several episodes before the "Singer" finals. Regardless of whether or not she can enter the finals, Jiang Kailin still has at least three opportunities to appear on "Singer". If Xiao Yao could help Jiang Kailin in a performance like Liang Xueying did, even if he couldn't help Jiang Kailin first, it would be a very topical matter and would be very beneficial to Jiang Kailin.

  "Do you want me to help Miss Jiang create another performance?" Xiao Yao smiled and looked at Wu You.

   "Can you?" Jiang Kailin also lit up, looking at Xiao Yao expectantly.

  Jiang Kailin also watched the performance designed by Xiao Yao for Liang Xueying the previous year, and knew that Liang Xueying had won the first place in the competition.

   "Um~ it's not impossible..." Xiao Yao deliberately pondered for a while before speaking.

   "Really?" Jiang Kailin and Wu You both said in surprise.

   "But~" Xiao Yao continued, "I still have the finals of "Sound on the Scene" to participate in."

"Sound on the Scene" is not the same as "Singer". The recording of the next few episodes has nothing to do with you. You just need to prepare for the finals." Wu You said, "Now there are more than 20 days before the finals, you It won’t take so long to prepare for the finals, right?"

"Yes, it’s a relatively long time since the final of "Sound on the Scene". In theory, I should have this time and energy," Xiao Yao said, "but now I have one more trouble to solve. So maybe I don’t want to spend time and energy on this matter!"

   "Trouble?" Jiang Kailin said, "Can you tell me what it is and see if I can help you."

In terms of "theoretically speaking" and "possible", Jiang Kailin heard that Xiao Yao's words did not mean directly rejecting, but saying that as long as he solves his troubles, he can help her design a performance. Jiang Kailin is of course enthusiastic. Inquire.

"My trouble is the final of "Sound on the Scene" that Wu You said just now." Xiao Yao said, "In the final, there is a stage where the guest performers and the assistant guest perform a dubbing together. I will find you Like the singing guest, I also need to find a voice-assisting guest in the final of "Sound on the Scene". My voice-assisting guest is still undecided."

   "Help the guest? Then do you think I can?" Jiang Kailin said, "If I can help you, I must be obliged!"

"I know you have been an actor and dubbed an animated film, but you are not my ideal candidate." Xiao Yao looked at Jiang Kailin and shook his head, "Since it is the final, it must take a lot of time to rehearse and prepare. , You have the task of performing "Singer" every week, and I don't want to trouble you with this matter.

After Wu You said that he would introduce Jiang Kailin to him, Xiao Yao also learned something about Jiang Kailin.

  Jiang Kailin is not only a singer, but also an actress. She has acted as the heroine of idol dramas at the beginning of her debut. In the past few years, she has also played roles in some movies and TV series, dubbed cartoons, and even acted in musicals and stage plays. She also has certain acting skills. . After learning about these Jiang Kailin's life experiences, Xiao Yao did indeed consider looking for Jiang Kailin as a guest speaker.

  But after carefully watching Jiang Kailin's film and television works, Xiao Yao still dismissed this idea. In addition to Jiang Kailin participating in "Singer", time is relatively tight, Xiao Yao still considers professional issues more. Although Jiang Kailin has also acted in theaters, she is not from a major in acting or broadcasting host. She is a professional singer, but not a professional actor or professional voice actor.

  The TV dramas she starred in are basically idol dramas. The character image is relatively single, and there is nothing too glaring in terms of acting. There are only four dubbing works in total, all of which are girl-type characters in animated films. They are more similar to her own temperament and image. They are basically played in their true colors, not bad, but they can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Jiang Kailin's film and television works and dubbing works are mainly concentrated in the early stage of her debut. In Xiao Yao's view, the reason why the film party asked her to dub was because of her fame more than her ability in dubbing.

  In addition, Xiao Yao feels that Jiang Kailin’s typical performance style in Hong Kong Island film and television dramas is not in harmony with him, and the final effect may not be very good, which seems to be somewhat contrary to the professional principle of the show.

  In terms of fame, it is of course that Jiang Kailin is better than Wu You, but in terms of dubbing ability, Jiang Kailin is no better than Wu Youqiang, who graduated from a major in broadcasting and hosting and has also worked as an actor. In terms of topicality, both of them are candidates who can arouse a lot of topics, but Xiao Yao himself thinks that it is more interesting to bring the students of the new voice class to cooperate than to find a singer in "Singer". So after considering it for a while, Xiao Yao finally made Wu You his first choice to help the voice guest.

"From what you mean, there is already the most ideal candidate?" Jiang Kailin asked Xiao Yao, "Then who is your most ideal candidate? As long as I know, if necessary, I can come forward and ask for you. ."

  Jiang Kailin also knows that "Sound on the Scene" is a very popular show. If Xiao Yao really asked her to be a guest speaker, Jiang Kailin might really agree. However, Xiao Yao said in an affirmative tone that he did not want to trouble her instead of asking if he would trouble her. That was because he had accidentally asked her to be a guest speaker.

  After all, "Sound on the Scene" is a show where actors compete for dubbing and performing. Although Jiang Kailin has acted and dubbed, she knows that she is best at singing. In terms of acting and dubbing, she thinks she is no match for the powerful actors who appear on the show. So after knowing that Xiao Yao had no intention of asking herself to be the guest of assistance, Jiang Kailin did not force it, and volunteered to be his guest of assistance, but to see if she could help in inviting people.

   "I already have a suitable candidate." Xiao Yao smiled, "Not only do you know, but the relationship should be good. You have a lot of influence. You can also come forward and invite me together."

   "Oh? Who?" Jiang Kailin asked curiously.

  Jiang Kailin does not have many celebrity friends who have a good relationship, some are basically singers, and very few are actors or voice actors. Jiang Kailin can't think of any of them that have intersection with Xiao Yao, who will be taken by Xiao Yao.

  "Far in the sky, close in front of you!" Xiao Yao stretched out his hand and pointed at Wu You, "It's her!"

   "Wu You?!" Jiang Kailin looked in the direction of Xiao Yao's fingers, and exclaimed in surprise, "Wu You is the voice assistant you want to invite?"

   "Yes!" Xiao Yao smiled and nodded, "Wu You is very good at dubbing!"

"Your voice assistant candidate is Wu You, so it's impossible to find her yet. You just went out to talk about this, right?" Jiang Kailin was surprised at first, and then a little confused, "But Xiao Yao, you said again This is an unresolved trouble for you, which means ~ Wu You refused to be your final assistant guest?!"

  Speaking of this, Jiang Kailin was even more surprised. She looked at Wu You and said, "Why? "Sound on the Scene" is so popular, how good it is to ask you to be a guest speaker, why would you refuse?"

   "I didn't refuse, I just said I want to think about it!" Wu You smiled bitterly.

   "Didn't you say that you should give me three days to consider?" Wu You turned his head and said to Xiao Yao, "Why are you still telling me to come out?"

"I have said that I will give you three days to consider, and I haven't changed my mind!" Xiao Yao smiled, "It's just because you haven't agreed, I have to keep thinking about this in my heart, and I have to consider if you refuse. If this is the case, who should I invite to be the guest of assistance. I have something in my mind, so I don’t have the mind to focus my time and energy on other things. I just explained this to Kailin, and didn’t say not to let you Considered."

"Don't bother to focus your time and energy on other things?" Wu You suddenly grasped the point of Xiao Yao's words, and stared at Xiao Yao speechlessly, "For example, including the design of "Singer" for Kailin. show?"

   "Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded with a rascal smile, "When will my voice assistant be determined, and when will I start thinking about helping Kailin design the stage for "Singer"."

   "You~ Are you asking Kailin to help you and persuade me to agree to be your assistant guest?" Wu You fully understood Xiao Yao's purpose, and said helplessly, "Are you too shameless?"

"Is it right? I don't think so!" Xiao Yao smiled shamelessly, "I have not violated the promise that I promised you to consider, nor have I promised or refused to help Kailin design the performance of "Singer". The initiative is still there. You have it."

"Also," Xiao Yao continued to add shamelessly, "Now there are about three weeks before the final of "Sound on the Scene". I want to practice the dubbing of the "Sound on the Scene" final, and I will also work with the supporting guests. I still have to go to school to rehearse the dubbing passages of the collaboration, so it may take two weeks to prepare for "Sound Immersive". The time I have free time is the next week or so, and the time is not particularly abundant."

  At this time, Jiang Kailin also fully understood Xiao Yao's meaning. But she looked a little hesitant, just looked at Wu You, and did not speak.

"By the way," Xiao Yao continued, seeing Jiang Kailin watching Wu You not speaking, "I don't plan to help Kailin do song adaptations like I did when I helped Sister Xueying, but I'm going to write a new song for her. , And the costumes I designed are tailor-made. To be familiar with new songs and practice new songs should take more time than old songs. Tailor-made costumes are also more expensive to make than costumes modified from ready-to-wear. Time. If due to time, there is not enough practice or the performance costumes are too late to make, and the performance effect is compromised, I hope you can understand."

"Wu You, the voice assistant guest in the final of "Sound on the Scene", is it equivalent to our guest singer in the final of "Singer", right? Showing strength, increasing popularity, and attracting fans should not need others to help you analyze. "Jiang Kailin finally couldn't help it, and looked at Wu You earnestly," Putting aside those things related to me that Xiao Yao had time to help me write songs and design the performance stage, just say that Xiao Yao asked you to do " "Sound on the Scene" to help the voice guest. Ask your heart, do you really want to give up such an opportunity? Will you really reject him?"

   "I~" Wu You hesitated, "Maybe, maybe not!"

   "It's not possible, it should be, I think you definitely won't! In the end, you will definitely agree." Jiang Kailin looked at Wu You and said, "Since you still can't refuse in the end, what is the difference between agreeing now and agreeing in three days?"

"But there is a difference between agreeing now and agreeing to Jiang Kailin in three days!" Wu You of course understood what Xiao Yao and Jiang Kailin meant, and turned to Xiao Yao, "Okay! I promise to be your assistant guest now." ."

"Okay! Then you can inform Ms. Jiang's follow-up team to come to Shencheng tomorrow to shoot the daily tidbits." Xiao Yao smiled, "Ms. Jiang and I appeared in the camera together. It should be the biggest look in this issue of daily tidbits. Did you order it?"
