Serve as Contrast Team in a ‘Dad with Baby’ Show

Chapter 54: Theme song

Views:

Lin Cheng is going to take Lin Momo to record the theme song of "Living with Dad".

Initially, when netizens discovered that Lin Cheng and Lin Momo's voices did not appear in the program's theme song, the program team explained that Lin Cheng and Lin Momo were added to the program as replacements, and they had not yet joined the program when the theme song was produced, so they did not participate in the recording.

However, it is obvious that netizens and fans do not buy the program team's explanation.

Under pressure, the program team promised online that Lin Cheng and Lin Momo would re-record the theme song.

Yes, before Lin Cheng and Lin Momo got off the plane, the program crew had already arranged a recording studio.

Lin Cheng and Lin Momo soon arrived at the recording studio.

At this time, the assistant of the recording studio was already waiting at the door of the recording studio. Seeing Lin Cheng and Lin Momo arriving, the assistant greeted them warmly and welcomed them in.

"What we are going to record today is the theme song of 'Living with Dad'. Here are the lyrics and score. You can take a look." The assistant said as he handed the theme song's lyrics and music book to Lin Cheng and the others.

"You can take a break here and prepare for a while," the assistant said, looking at Lin Momo and said softly, "Children, please wait a moment here. Our teacher is stuck in traffic and is on her way. She will teach you to sing this song when she arrives."

The assistant had just finished speaking when Lin Cheng said, "No need."

"She can sing." Lin Cheng said: During the recording of the program, he had heard the theme song of the program coming out of Lin Momo's mouth more than once.

"Can you sing?"

Lin Momo also nodded and said, "I can sing."

After saying that, Lin Momo opened the lyrics book in front of her and sang out the lyrics word for word.

Lin Momo didn't recognize the musical notation, but she sang the melody of the whole song without any major problems.

The assistant looked at Lin Momo in surprise - although Lin Momo's mastery of the song was not perfect, she was very skilled. It was obvious that before this, Lin Momo must have practiced this song specifically, even many times.

The assistant didn't understand why the program team didn't allow Lin Cheng and Lin Momo to participate in the recording of the theme song.

However, thinking of Lin Cheng's previous fame and status in the entertainment industry, the assistant immediately understood something.

"How snobbish..." the assistant muttered secretly in his heart.

Facing Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, the assistant smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go notify the recording teacher to get ready. You guys familiarize yourself with the song first, and we'll start as soon as possible."

After the assistant left, Lin Momo held the lyrics and music notebook and started practicing.

The girl's voice was not loud, but one could tell her intentions.

Lin Momo sang the first part several times, very smoothly, without any problems, until she got stuck in the second part of the chorus.

"We moved into our beautiful new home together..."

Lin Momo felt something was wrong, so she sang it twice: "We live together in this beautiful house..." "We live together..."

Looking down at Lin Momo who was singing with a frown and a distressed look on her face, Lin Cheng could not help but smile. Then he took the notebook from Lin Momo, borrowed a pen from the staff, and used small vertical lines to mark the pauses and punctuation points on it.

Lin Cheng squatted down in front of Lin Momo and began to point at the music score to teach her how to recognize this part and how to sing this sentence.

Every time Lin Cheng sings, Lin Momo will sing along.

Only when Lin Momo could sing fluently did Lin Cheng lead her to sing the next sentence.

Different from before in the company when Wang Xi and Zhou Qi simply asked Lin Momo to sing along with them and then practice over and over again, Lin Cheng would teach Lin Momo how to recognize the musical notation and how to match the lyrics with the music score.

Lin Cheng taught carefully and Lin Momo also studied seriously.

Several young workers beside the lounge watched the scene between the father and daughter and couldn't help but talk about it in a low voice.

"Oh my god, so loving!"

"Really! I really like the group of Lin Cheng and Momo. They are so loving."

She is also a passerby fan in Lin Cheng and Lin Momo's live broadcast room: compared with other father-son and father-daughter combinations, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo have less so-called "loving" parent-child interactions in the live broadcast. However, the other groups have too many "loving" scenes, which makes people feel that they are too forced and too performative. They are not as natural as Lin Cheng and Lin Momo's performance, which is comfortable to watch.

"Before, several other fans said online that Lin Cheng and Momo rarely interacted and that the father-daughter relationship was not close... Isn't this good? It's much better than those groups that have to show their close relationship every minute." The girl muttered.

The other girl next to her also nodded in agreement.

"The singing teacher is still on the way, can we still use it?"

“…” It seems that it is no longer needed

Soon, the previous assistant came to the lounge and took Lin Cheng and Lin Momo to the recording studio.

After Lin Cheng had a brief exchange with the sound engineer, he took Lin Momo into the recording studio separated by a layer of glass.

Looking at the equipment around her that she had never seen before, Lin Momo seemed a little restrained. She sat upright on the chair specially prepared for her by her assistant, with her hands resting at her sides, not daring to touch these things.

"Are you nervous?" Lin Cheng lowered his head and asked Lin Momo.

"No," Lin Momo shook her head and said, "I'm not nervous."

Hearing this, Lin Cheng's gaze fell on Lin Momo's hand.

Because of nervousness, Lin Momo's hand subconsciously grabbed the corner of Lin Cheng's clothes and held it tightly.

Lin Cheng was silent, and did not expose Lin Momo. Instead, he pointed at the various equipment in the recording studio and introduced them to Lin Momo one by one.

Lin Momo carefully wrote down the names that Lin Cheng mentioned, what each item was used for and how to use it, and forgot about her nervousness for a moment.

Lin Cheng signaled to the sound engineer outside, the sound engineer nodded, and the first recording began.

Lin Momo sang the first sentence of the theme song into the microphone.

The girl's clear, soft voice, unique to a child of her age, surprised the sound engineer and several assistants outside the studio.

What surprised them even more was Lin Momo's pitch.

Of the previous families, except for Duan Bei who recorded the demo in the recording studio specially arranged by their company, the rest recorded the theme songs here. Lin Momo's pitch should be the best among the children, even better than adults like Gao Yuankai and Zheng Chengye.

In the recording studio, after Lin Momo finished singing the first part of the verse, Lin Cheng's voice was also added at this time.

The father and daughter both have very recognizable voices, but when put together, one is cute and the other is generous and calm. Instead of being abrupt, they seem very harmonious.

After singing the chorus, Lin Cheng stopped, Lin Momo sang two lines, and then Lin Cheng continued to sing the next two lines...

The two sang the last part in duet.

The first test recording is completed.

Several assistants and recording teachers outside the recording studio looked at each other.

"It feels good." One person sighed.

The sound engineer also nodded: Lin Cheng has been so confused in recent years that he almost forgot that he is a singer.

"Not bad. The transition between the third and fourth sentences should be a little flatter, the second part of the chorus should be a little lower, and then the third sentence here at the end..." The sound engineer looked at the audio data on the equipment and his own records, and pointed out a few minor problems to Lin Cheng.

"Okay, let's do it again."

Lin Cheng and Lin Momo have a high pitch accuracy and very few problems, so the entire song recording process went smoothly. In less than two hours, the two completed the recording of the theme song.

After Lin Cheng took Lin Momo away, although the song production still needed some time, the staff arranged by the program team had very efficiently edited the behind-the-scenes footage of the father and daughter recording the theme song and some demos of the song into a video clip and shared it on the official Weibo of the program team.

As soon as this Weibo post was released, it quickly attracted the attention of netizens.

Did the program team finally arrange for Lin Cheng and Momo to re-record the theme song

That's right. It was originally a program for five celebrity families, but it's outrageous that the theme song only has the voices of four families.

That's good, it's finally recorded.

Will we be able to hear Lin Cheng and Momo’s voices in the new version of the theme song soon? Looking forward to it!

‌ said that although there was only a short clip in the video, it felt that Momo’s father sang very well and his voice was nice too.

Yes! Momo also sings very well! Her pitch is better than mine.

After all, he is a singer's child, hahaha, he has a good foundation.

And both of them are very serious.

Just when many netizens began to discuss how well Lin Cheng and Lin Momo sang, some of Duan Bei's fans jumped out to express their dissatisfaction.

The songs have already been recorded, so it’s not a big deal to re-record them now.

Yeah, it's just a theme song. If it wasn't recorded, then it wasn't recorded. But to re-record it, that's a bit of a big shot.

The reason why these fans are dissatisfied with Lin Cheng's re-recording is not because they find it troublesome.

Duan Bei is a newcomer strongly promoted by the entertainment company. He originally sang almost half of the theme song. Now, with the addition of Lin Cheng's family's part in the theme song, the singing parts of other groups will inevitably be reduced. Duan Bei's agent has received news from the program team that Duan Bei's singing part will be compressed by 15 seconds.

This matter was sent to the big fan group by the agent. After the news spread, some of Duan Bei's fans became dissatisfied and jumped out at this time.

I don't deny that Lin Momo sings well, but pitch and the like are not really an advantage for a little kid, right

That’s right, it’s just recording a song, why take it so seriously

Speaking of which, isn't it because the theme song was recorded by little babies to make it cute and adorable? It's actually more adorable when the babies sing a little off-tune.

The singing is not standard but it loses the soul and the feeling of childlike innocence.

There's no need to be so serious about it.

The fans' criticism gradually brought out the rhythm.

Fortunately, many rational netizens jumped out and refuted:

I don't know since when would one be criticized for singing well.

Fans of some people, how are your values

That is, we think it's cute when the babies don't sing standardly, out of tolerance for human cubs, but it's not a bad thing if they sing standardly.

Praise Momo...

As more and more voices of rebuttal emerged, those criticizing Lin Cheng and Lin Momo had to die down.

The small incident did not have any impact on Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, but it did attract a lot of attention to the show "Living with Dad".

On Saturday, before the program was aired, many viewers were already waiting on the video side.

This also includes Lin Momo who was watching TV.

"dad."

"Um?"

"Is it about to start?" Lin Momo asked Lin Cheng.

"Yeah, almost there."

"dad."

"What?"

"What time is it now?" Lin Momo couldn't help but ask.

Lin Cheng had no choice but to glance at the time on his phone and said to Lin Momo, "Five more minutes."

"Stay away from the TV." Lin Cheng reminded.

"Okay." Lin Momo nodded, stepped back, and sat on the sofa side by side with Lin Cheng.

After staring at the advertisement on TV for a full five minutes, the cover image of "Living with Dad" finally popped up on the TV screen, followed by the melody of the show's theme song.

Just like the previous version, the opening part is still the voices of Bai Yulin and his daughter. The difference is that this time the parts sung by each family are almost the same length.

The parts about Lin Momo and Lin Cheng are placed in the fourth paragraph.

When the voice of her and Lin Cheng was heard on TV, Lin Momo jumped up from the sofa excitedly.

“It’s our part!”

After saying that, Lin Momo started singing along with the melody on TV.

Seeing Lin Momo's excited look, Lin Cheng also followed suit.

In addition, this episode was also launched simultaneously on the TV side on the two app user sides, Orange Video and iwo.

Hearing the voices of Lin Cheng and Lin Momo appear in the theme song, many viewers who had been waiting expressed satisfaction:

The first thing I reported to was to hear whether the parts for Momo and Momo's dad had been added.

Haha, me too.

I only had a little bit of it in the behind-the-scenes footage before, but I finally got to hear the full edit!

It’s really beautiful to sing!

I really want to hear Momo and her dad sing a complete song!

Want to hear +1

Momo really sings well.

It’s mainly because my dad gave me good genes, and of course he taught me well too, haha.

If Momo can't keep her restaurant going when she grows up and she doesn't want to act anymore, she can definitely inherit her father's career and become a singer!

Tsk, if you hadn’t told me that before, I would have almost forgotten that Lin Cheng is a singer.

Amid the discussion among the crowd, the theme song finished playing, and after a narration of the previous story, the third episode officially began.

In this episode, five groups of families started their new week of life experience.

Bai Yulin transformed into a university music teacher, actor Gao Yuankai became a hardware store owner, wealthy father Zheng Chengye joined the company as a senior executive, and newcomer Duan Bei was drawn to be a telephone customer service.

In this episode, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo's parts are still broadcast fourth.

After the program finished showing the parts about Bai Yulin in college, Gao Yuankai in his own store, and Zheng Chengye in his high-end company, the scene changed to the alley where Lin Cheng and Lin Momo lived. Here, the father and daughter were standing in front of a bunch of small advertisements, looking for a house leak repairman.

Hahahaha, as soon as the show came to the part about Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, even the style of the show changed.

What is the way to open this

I lowered my head and then looked up again, and I thought I had changed the variety show.

The painting style is unique, but this daily survival is still very good to watch, haha.

The audience watched Lin Cheng and Lin Momo clean and tidy up the house, and watched them find a master to fix the leak in the house... Just when everyone was watching with relish and wanted to see more, the program cut to the next day. Lin Cheng went to buy flour, and took Lin Momo to the market to buy other necessary ingredients.

Originally, the audience thought that a star like Lin Cheng would not bargain, and they were all waiting to see Lin Cheng's failure. As a result, after Lin Cheng arrived at the market, his direct and comprehensive purchasing method left many people dumbfounded.

Damn, Lin Cheng’s purchasing method is so clever!

I learned it. I learned it.

I came here to watch the live broadcast in its entirety. Lin Cheng's method of purchasing materials is really amazing.

Ah, what a pity, I didn't see the live broadcast. The live broadcast room will be offline shortly after the current live broadcast ends, leaving only some highlights of the live broadcast. Now if I go to the live broadcast room to look for it, I can't find the complete live broadcast of this section.

I decided to follow the live broadcast!

I also want to follow the live broadcast, but when I saw online that Lin Cheng and Lin Momo's group drew the 'Happy Bowl Farm Operator' profession next week, I was a little hesitant whether to go and watch it.

I heard that during the third week of recording the show, actor Gao Yuankai was assigned to work in the company and he started to perform madly. Even his fans in the live broadcast room couldn't stand it anymore.

Lin Cheng won’t have an accident next week, right

I'm worried too... I don't dare to watch it.

At this point, someone came up with a different idea: Lin Cheng seemed to have a good business sense when purchasing ingredients, so he shouldn't fail.

It's hard to say. Running a farm is different from simply planting crops or opening a small shop. It's as difficult as running a theme park.

I feel like I'm going to flip...

Amid the discussion among the crowd, the parts about Lin Cheng and Lin Momo were quickly finished.

With the broadcast of this episode, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo’s popularity on the Internet has increased a lot, and even a lot of wild fans have appeared.

Some fans created a thread about Lin Cheng and Lin Momo on the Internet.

Therefore, after the other four families on the show "Living with Dad", Lin Cheng and Lin Momo finally had their own related topic community.

And Lin Cheng finally logged into the account he hadn't used seriously for several years and secretly "sneaked" into the topic community.

The number of fans in the community is not large yet, but since it has just been established, the fans are very active.

Many people shared photos of Lin Momo and Lin Cheng, most of which were screenshots of the live broadcast.

The first one is a screenshot of Lin Momo selling scrap, with the text on it: This is a day of working hard to earn money to support Dad.

The second photo is a photo of Lin Momo squatting in a corner counting money with a "sad look" on her face, with the caption: I, a little kid, have contributed so much to this family...

The third one is a screenshot of Lin Momo being mistaken for a beggar. It is also the screenshot of Lin Momo later on the crew pass, with the caption: It’s a ‘begging’ day.

Lin Cheng: “…” What the hell.

Looking at this "ugly" photo of his daughter, Lin Cheng frowned and continued to flip through the pages.

In addition to the funny pictures, there are also many cute photos of Lin Momo. Lin Cheng liked each of these beautiful photos.

Lin Cheng's actions did not attract the attention of other fans in the topic community, but they attracted the attention of Wang Xi and others.

In the company, Wang Xi and a few others were browsing Weibo on their phones, thinking about how to maintain and operate Lin Cheng and Lin Momo's topic community from their official side. As a result, they found that the account that was getting crazy likes seemed familiar.

"Brother Yu! Look at this account! Is it Brother Cheng's?" Wang Xi pointed at the enthusiastic fan's profile picture on the phone and asked Chen Yu.

"Yes..." Chen Yu nodded.

Since Lin Cheng's negative information was exposed, his account was blocked for several months and even his certification was cancelled. After so many years of being out of favor, his original fans have almost all disappeared. However, from the avatar, account number, and the few reposted Weibo posts, Chen Yu could still vaguely recognize that this was Lin Cheng's account.

"Ah! It's true. Should we stop Brother Cheng? He has liked more than fifty Weibo posts and forwarded more than a dozen Weibo pictures in just a short while!" Wang Xi said nervously.

Zhou Qi on the side was relatively calm.

"It shouldn't be a big deal to just forward and like it."

“But there are too many clicks! If fans find out if they click on more, my image will be ruined!” Wang Xi said.

Before participating in the show, Lin Cheng always had a cold and aloof personality. After joining the show, although the cold and aloof personality has collapsed a bit, Lin Cheng also gave the audience the impression of a mature and steady father. If he continues to like his posts, this personality will probably be gone.

Hearing this, Zhou Qi muttered, "No one should know that it's him, Brother Cheng."

Wang Xi: “…” It seemed to make some sense, but I was speechless.

Chen Yu: “…” Although, you can’t do whatever you want just because you are not well-known.
