Soon, Hwaseong Dance Academy and the crew of "Wait for a Extreme Day" finalized the matter of coming to the school to perform, and the time was set on the second day after the official start of school.
The school is full of promotional banners and roll-up posters. The posters are designed with a very artistic sense. There are only the simplest black and white colors. Xiang Gu's silhouette occupies half of the picture. It was a beautiful and eye-catching close-up. The boy's facial features were exquisite, his eyes were shining, and he was looking into the ethereal distance.
He was waiting for his extreme day, for the sun that rescued him from the boundless darkness.
Everyone who passes by the poster will stop and look carefully at the appearance of Xiang Guess on the poster.
Two young girls stopped in front of the propaganda display board, with deep admiration in their voices.
"Look! It's my husband!" A little girl took out her mobile phone and handed it to her best friend next to her, "Quick, quick, please help me take a photo with my son!"
The best friend complained: "Husband? Son? Didn't you call him brother yesterday?"
Having said that, the best friend still took over the phone and took a beautiful group photo for the friends in front of the exhibition board.
Don't think that the students of performing schools don't chase stars, they not only chase stars, but also their brothers and sisters. They are striving for their idols, hoping to one day be on stage and perform with the people they admire.
The two little girls left talking and laughing. If they walked slower and concentrated their energy to look around, they would find that in the tree-lined road not far away, the person they were talking about just now was standing. Look at them from behind the tree!
"Husband? Son? Brother?" Tan Yiming suppressed the laughter in his throat, looked at the shy little swan beside him, and repeated these three words teasingly.
Xiang Guai hid himself behind a tree, embarrassed and happy at the same time.
"Don't talk about it..." he whispered, "They are my junior girls, and they are also from the Huawu High School. They are joking."
"I don't think they are joking." Tan Yiming said, "You can be invited back by the school to report for the performance half a year after graduation. Even if this achievement is not unprecedented, there are no more than five people in the school's history, right?"
"That's because the script is well written, and the director and the two directors are very good." Xiang Chai is still as humble as he is, and he doesn't want to take all the credit for himself, "There are many brothers and sisters who are better than me, but I'm luckier. ."
"Guess, this can't be explained with the word 'luck'." Tan Yiming said, "Even if it is a pie that falls from the sky, some people can catch it, but some people will be choked to death. You have been for so many years. Come and work hard, so when the opportunity comes to you, you can take it."
Tan Yiming encouraged him: "You are already very good, you can be even more powerful - from now on, learn to praise yourself, okay?"
"..." Xiang Guai didn't say anything, just nodded with pursed lips.
There are still a few days before the official start of the school year, and there are very few students in the school. The two of them came to Hwaseong Dance Academy specially today. The first purpose was to see the performance venue, and the second purpose was to visit the campus.
As a top-class dance school in China, Huacheng Dance Academy has a very high status. After graduation, many students directly enter the dance troupe with the national prefix, and some people go abroad to study and continue their studies abroad.
Tan Yiming was so curious about this place. After learning that this was Xiang Chai's alma mater, he checked a lot of information about this school on the Internet, but he never had a chance to walk in.
Today, that wish finally came true. As his guide, You Xiangchai listened to the boy narrate all kinds of interesting things about life on campus, and he was in a trance, as if he had accompanied Xiangchai through those years of campus time.
While introducing to Guai, he recalled. The food in the cafeteria is delicious, the teachers of the physical education class are not very responsible, the principal has to speak for half an hour every time the school's general meeting is held, and the dormitory auntie always turns off the lights in advance...
The university life that I once thought was boring and boring, when I recalled it after graduation, it all turned into a full of fun.
"Speaking of which, your school is really small." Tan Yiming exclaimed. The two walked around the school for a few minutes, and then the whole school was turned over.
"We are a professional college, there are only ten departments in total. In addition to the attached high school next to us, our school has only 2,000 students." Xiang Chaiyu said with envy, "I heard that those comprehensive universities are only students from one college. More than our entire school."
He turned his attention to Tan Yiming: "Is there a lot of people in your school?"
"Indeed." Tan Yiming said, "My alma mater covers a large area. Our finance department has a separate library and teaching building. There is also a lake in the school. Every morning and evening there are many students at the lake. While running. There are many Asian students in the school, and the school has specially set up an Asian-style cafeteria, but to be honest, those dishes are so badly cooked that the taste is very strange. Asians don't eat them, only white people eat them. "He suddenly suggested, "Why don't we go to the United States sometime? I'll show you around my alma mater, and then go to the surrounding big cities."
His suggestion made Xiang Guai excited for a while.
"But my passport has expired, and I have to apply for a visa in advance."
"It's okay, it's not urgent. We have a long time to plan this trip slowly." Tan Yiming asked, "Have you ever applied for a passport before?"
"Yeah." Xiang Chai was silent for a while, then replied, "When I was in the middle school, I was sent by the school to study in Vaganova."
Vaganova…
It is the most famous ballet school in St. Petersburg, Russia, and the cradle of the world's top ballet dancers. Every two years, Huawu High School will send several top students to Vaganova Ballet School for exchange and study.
Xiang Guess once was one of them.
When he, with black hair and black eyes, stood on a foreign land and was surrounded by those blond actresses, he believed that his future was on that stage.
Regrettably, his life trajectory has changed dramatically since then.
Fortunately, even though he was off course, he found a new direction.
The time I studied in Vaganova is like a memory from a previous life when I recall it now. Xiang Gu let out a sigh of relief, watching a cloud of white mist drifting away in the icy air.
Tan Yiming knew how he felt. He looked at him, then gently took his hand, clasping his cold fingertips in his own.
"It's better than this." Tan Yiming suggested, "Let's go to St. Petersburg when spring comes?"
Go to see Vaganova, go to the ballet, go to the place where the boy once slept in his dreams.
Tan Yiming wanted to buy a pair of ballet shoes there and put them on for his little swan.
Xiang Gu opened his lips and smiled softly, "Okay."
The two held hands like this and walked slowly along the quiet and uninhabited path.
They walked from the school theater to the gymnasium, and from the gymnasium to the teaching building.
There are two teaching buildings in Huawu, one is for students to take cultural classes, and they are all amphitheatre classrooms. Because the school has not yet started, they are all empty now.
The other one was completely filled with rehearsal halls. The dance majors were very hard-working and had to take at least six hours of professional lessons every day. The dance halls in the whole building are clearly divided according to the departments: the Chinese dance department is on the fifth floor, the ballet department is on the fourth floor, and the national standard dance department is on the third floor…
Tan Yiming asked, "What about your musical theatre department?"
"We're on the first floor!" Xiang Guai said proudly, "There's no need to climb the stairs, and there's a vocal music classroom next to it, so it's convenient!"
The uncle who was the gatekeeper in the security booth did not know where he went, so Xiang Chai led Tan Yiming to sneak into the teaching building.
The two first went to the exclusive dance classroom of the Musical Theatre Department, but unfortunately the door was locked. Tan Yiming could only stand outside the glass door and carefully observe the rehearsal hall.
The rehearsal hall is very large, with an area of 80 square meters. It is transparent from north to south and has excellent lighting. There are mirrors inlaid on one wall, fixed handle bars on the other three sides, some mats for basic training are piled up in the corners, and the whole classroom is clean and bright.
Tan Yiming saw such a wide rehearsal hall, and then thought about the cramped practice room at home, and suddenly an urgent need to "make a lot of money and buy a big house" arose in his heart.
Xiang Guai certainly didn't know what he was planning in his head. The boy took his hand with great interest and walked to a smaller classroom next to him.
The door of the small classroom was hung with the number of "Vocal Music Classroom", and he pushed tentatively to Guess—the door was not locked!
This small classroom is only half the size of the rehearsal hall, and the room is covered with sound insulation materials. There is an upright piano under the window, and dozens of chairs are scattered around the piano.
"The vocal teacher has good ears." Xiang Gu shivered, "She is like a humanoid tuner! During the chorus, if someone sings half a note, she will catch her!"
Xiang Guai closed the door gently, thought for a while, and then locked the door uneasy, for fear that the sound would come out and attract the uncle of the security guard.
He walked around the chair and sat down directly in front of the piano.
It is estimated that there is no dust on the piano because someone cleans it every day. Xiang Gu lifted the lid of the piano, his two wrists were half-sunk, resting on the keys.
He first simply played two sets of scales, and then practiced crawling. At first his fingering was a little jerky, but he gradually found the feel of playing the piano.
"What do you want to hear?" Xiang Guai turned his head and asked Tan Yiming, eager to try.
"You can play the piano?" Tan Yiming was very surprised. He had lived with Xiang Chai for so long, and he had never heard him mention that he could play the piano.
Guess how many advantages he still has that he hasn't discovered
Xiang Guai said shyly: "Instrument is our compulsory course... When I was in middle school, I could choose one of the violin and the piano. I didn't know anything about strings, so I chose the piano. I continued to practice the piano after I went to college. But I can play it well. It's not good, and it's been so long since graduation, I haven't touched the keys for more than half a year, so I can only play some simple things now."
He paused and added awkwardly: "I'm not very good at playing, so I'm definitely not as good as Director Yao."
"..." Tan Yiming said helplessly, "Why did you mention Yao Yin so well?"
Xiang Guai also felt that what he said was pointless. He clearly knew that Yao Yin and Tan Yiming had never been in a relationship, but sometimes he would be inexplicably careful.
... Maybe, this is the stupid thing to do after falling in love.
Xiang Guai's face was hot, he quickly turned his eyes back, and stared at the black and white keys in front of him.
He asked himself: what song is he going to play? What song does he want to play
At that moment, countless love songs poured out from his brain memory, from pop songs to elegant operas, there are so many notes in this world that can be used to sing love—
Tap the keyboard with your fingertips.
Before his brain could react, his heart had already chosen a song for him.
A song that is most suitable for Xiang Gu and Tan Yiming, as well as Guess and Wang Qingyun.
"Would you hold back if I walked up to you
Will you chase me if I stop
The world is holding me back,
And I'm still trying to run wild, towards my dream. "
The piano was melodious, and along with the boy's singing, it floated in the direction of Tan Yiming.
This song is a song sung by the male protagonist when he courtes the female protagonist in the musical "Famous in the World". This show is not so well-known, but the song is very popular. In the play, the male protagonist sits in front of the piano and plays and sings. From beginning to end, his eyes never leave his beloved girl.
And Xiang Gu is the same.
"If I sing for you, will you sing along
If I dance for you, will you dance together
If I give you my heart, will you give the same? "
The question of a sound, in fact, has already been answered.
This answer lies in Tan Yiming's kiss, in Tan Yiming's eyes, and in Tan Yiming's embrace.
Tan Yiming stood quietly beside the piano, fascinated by his singing. Tan Yiming has heard Xiang Guai sing many times, some are sad, some warm, some longing... But this time, Tan Yiming heard the overflowing happiness from his singing.
The boy is still singing, still singing.
"Even if I'm not ready,
But I want to fight for your love.
i will … try for your love. "
No more fighting.
Tan Yiming wanted to tell him: Guess, you already got all my love.
…
Half a year ago, Xiangchai graduated from Huacheng Dance Academy. At that time, as an outstanding graduate representative, he was selected to give a speech on the stage.
At that time, the audience was full of students and parents. But when he looked down, he found that in those smiling faces, no one came for him.
At that time, Tan Yiming could only silently send blessings to his boy through the live broadcast network.
And now, this regret belonging to the two of them has finally been filled.
The author has something to say: Guess is singing "try", the theme song of "Fame".
In the curtain call part, I chose this musical/music movie because I hope Guess, Old Talk, and all those who have dreams in this article can be famous all over the world.
There is one last chapter in the curtain call.
