The party started soon.
One after another, there were swan dances, dramas, crosstalk, sketches, choruses, street dances, piano solos, and even acrobatics...
After all, it is a college-level arts evening party, with a rich program and all the talented people in the school appearing. The quality is more than one level higher than the department-level art evening parties.
Therefore, it is really not easy to stand out on such a big stage. The cultural and entertainment departments of the student unions of each department try their best to discover the most talented elites, hoping to bring glory to the department.
Backstage at the party.
When Tao Min found Su Zelin, the gangster was happily taking pictures of the girls with his Casio.
He gained a lot from this school's cultural evening. After a few rehearsals, he almost got to know all the girls who were performing.
They are all dressed up tonight, it would be a shame if Teacher Su didn't seize the opportunity to take more photos to enrich his portfolio.
Tao Min felt a little dizzy.
I'm really impressed! Although I know he won't be stage frightened because of the upcoming performance, but aren't you too relaxed
Can't you have a little bit of tension
Tao Min pulled him aside: "Hey, what are you doing?"
"Senior, I'm taking pictures!"
As he spoke, Su Zelin smiled, raised his Casio and took a photo of Tao Min.
"I mean, you can't just run around, you have to be prepared!"
"Haha, senior sister, I'm just preparing for the performance. I just want to chat with others and relax."
Su Zelin was very confident.
Well, you have a lot of crooked ideas, I really can't argue with you...
"It's almost time, you have to put on makeup!"
This is also the purpose of Tao Min looking for Su Zelin. After a few shows, it will be his turn to perform.
"Makeup?" Su Zelin laughed, "I'm naturally beautiful, I don't need that kind of stuff."
"Don't be silly, everyone on the show has to wear makeup!"
Tao Min dragged Su Zelin to the dressing room without further ado, where professional makeup artists were doing makeup for the performers.
The makeup artist took a look at Su Zelin and said, "He has great skin and a fashionable hairstyle, so he doesn't need to wear makeup."
Tao Min: “…”
Oh my god, I don’t even need to wear makeup!
It’s amazing that he is handsome, has good skin and a fashionable hairstyle!
In fact, the actors who need to wear makeup mainly have bad skin conditions, such as dull complexion, acne or acne scars, and poor hairstyle.
In this case, the makeup artist has to change the hairstyle to a more eye-catching one and apply a little foundation to cover the blemishes.
However, Su Zelin's skin condition was impeccable, and when he was a boss in his previous life, he had a professional stylist. His personal image taste was naturally very high, and he was very trendy just by doing his own hairstyle, so the makeup artist thought there was no need to add anything unnecessary.
Afraid that Su Zelin would run around again and accidentally miss the performance, Tao Min didn't go to watch the show and stayed with Su Zelin. She couldn't feel at ease until she saw this kid on stage.
After waiting for a while backstage, with only one show left before it was his turn, Su Zelin stuffed the Casio into Tao Min's hands and said, "Senior Tao, please take a few more photos of me backstage later. Make sure they look handsome!"
"I see, you want to wash it out and keep it to fool girls later, right?"
Tao Min said jokingly.
"No way!" Su Zelin would naturally not admit it: "This is the whole school's cultural evening party. It's such a rare opportunity. I'm going to print a few pictures and send them to my parents to tell them that their son has made it!"
"Okay, okay, okay. Got it. Leave this to me. Anyway, you have to work hard and bring honor to our School of Economics and Management!"
Tao Min warned.
Su Zelin gave a thumbs up and said arrogantly, "Senior, you will soon witness how a heartthrob is born!"
"vomit!"
…
The audience seats for the cultural evening.
"We've been waiting for so long, why hasn't it been the monitor's turn yet?"
"More than 20 performances have already passed, the class monitor is about to come on stage!"
"I can't wait, I just want to see the monitor playing the guitar, he was so handsome during the last team building!"
"… "
The people in the Class 1 of the Regional Finance School of the Department of Economics and Management were getting a little anxious as they waited.
Although the other programs were also very exciting, they came mainly for Su Zelin tonight.
In fact, no matter which class has someone on the big stage in the evening party, the others are also looking forward to it. It’s just that Su Zelin is very popular, so the people in the Finance Management Class are more excited and feel particularly eager.
At this time, a show ended and the female host of the evening walked onto the stage again to announce the show.
“Many people say that boys who can play guitar are the most handsome.”
"Carrying an acoustic guitar on your back, in this spring night, letting the strings move with your heart, humming your favorite songs, and quietly feeling the light passing by, isn't that the most romantic thing!"
"The next program is a guitar solo performance by Su Zelin, a freshman in the Finance and Management Department. Let's welcome this handsome guy with warm applause!"
During several rehearsals, Su Zelin became almost familiar with everyone in the evening party team, especially the girls. The female host was also coaxed by the gangster a few times and had a good impression of him. She even added some private work to her announcing duties.
The original last line was "Let's welcome him with warm applause", but the "he" was changed to "this handsome guy".
As soon as the female host finished her announcement, the Finance Management Class 1 was in an uproar.
"It's the monitor's turn. It's finally the monitor's turn!"
Everyone was extremely excited, and both boys and girls were waving their glow sticks wildly.
Luo Xi immediately gave orders: "Everyone, be ready at all times and keep in formation!"
Accompanied by applause from the audience, a boy carrying an acoustic guitar slowly walked out of the performance channel. It was Su Zelin.
Today, the gangster wore a plaid shirt, which made him look very casual compared to the formal performance costumes of other performers.
However, even such a casual shirt does not prevent Su Zelin from being the most handsome guy on the stage tonight.
In fact, many times a boy’s handsomeness is not only reflected in his appearance, but also in his body movements, and the handsomeness expressed by this kind of body movements is more effective on the big stage.
For example, those audience members who are too far away to see the performer's face clearly can also notice that this boy's every move is free and easy. In short, at first glance, you can tell that he is someone who has a strong sense of stage and is very relaxed.
In short, it’s Brother Xiaosa.
For this reason, when Hunzi first came on stage, he received even more enthusiastic applause than other performers.
"start!"
Luo Xi gave orders decisively.
Both boys and girls sprang into action.
Soon, the girls' glow sticks formed a big heart shape. Luo Xi and Nanazi in the middle each held up a large piece of cardboard. On the sign were the two big words "Class" and "Principal" made of a large number of glow sticks.
Since these two words are difficult to arrange and a large number of glow sticks are needed, the girls came up with this little trick and glued them on two large pieces of cardboard in advance.
When other people looked over, they couldn't see the two cards due to the light. There were just two big words wrapped in the big heart-shaped pattern.
The boys on the other side followed suit, but their creativity was different from that of the girls.
They just lifted up four large pieces of cardboard.
"Old", "big", "powerful", and "strong".
Both sides took up their formations and slogans rang out again.
"Boss, you are the best. Our hearts are with you!"
"Class monitor, you are the most handsome. All of us girls love you!"
The large characters and the green heart-shaped light were particularly eye-catching in the darkness, which was considered quite innovative in the fan support group of this evening party. Coupled with the uniform slogans of the Finance Management Class 1, even though there were only fifty or sixty people, the scene was extraordinary, which made other audiences unable to help but look sideways, and almost everyone in the audience noticed it.
"It turns out that this boy is the class monitor. He seems to be very popular in the class!"
"We are both squad leaders, why don't I get this treatment? It's so frustrating to compare myself with others. I'm so envious and jealous 55555..."
"Ah, you guys are so nice to me, I'd rather die right now!"
"… "
Somewhere in the audience, Qin Shiqing's pretty face was full of surprise.
Although she knew that Su Zelin was the class monitor, she initially thought that her childhood sweetheart had tricked his way into the position with his good speeches. However, she did not expect that he was so popular in the class.
"Haha, Shiqing, your Su Zelin seems to be very popular as the squad leader."
Yan Qingyi smiled and said, "I have organized various evening parties at the college and department levels in the Student Union Arts Department at least a dozen times. This is the first time I have seen a class working so hard to support the performers! I'm afraid no one could have imagined this in high school!"
Hunzi was very famous in No. 2 Middle School back then, and she had heard of him.
Not to mention Yan Qingyi, even Qin Shiqing, who knew Su Zelin well, couldn't think of it.
"Zerlin has indeed changed a lot since entering college!"
She said with a hint of emotion.
"Boys like this are very popular in college, Shiqing, you have to pay more attention to them!"
Yan Qingyi teased.
"What are you talking about, Senior."
Qin Shiqing felt a little embarrassed after being exposed. She had specially run to the Finance College to see her childhood sweetheart. Of course, a girl as smart as Yan Qingyi could see a lot of things.
VIP seats for leaders at the party.
"Wow, I didn't expect Xiao Su to be not only smart, but also multi-talented!"
Kang Yulian, who was sitting next to Dai Chuangxing, looked at Su Zelin on the stage with a amiable smile on her face.
The college-level cultural evening party was highly valued and almost all the important leaders of the college came, and Dai Chuangxing would naturally not be absent.
"It's a pity that our daughter is three years older than Xiao Su and has a boyfriend."
The Vice President's wife sighed again.
She liked Su Zelin more and more.
The couple has a daughter who is studying in a university in another city. She is about to graduate and has a boyfriend.
Dai Chuangxing thought that even if she didn't have a boyfriend, it would have to be that Xiao Su liked his daughter, and they couldn't just match them up randomly.
What Vice President Dai cares more about is the support that the Finance Management Class 1 gives to Su Zelin.
It is really rare to invest in a digital store and personally manage it as a store manager, and still have such popularity in the class.
Originally, Dai Chuangxing was worried that Su Zelin would neglect his studies and class affairs because of his business, but he found that he was worrying too much.
After the end of last semester, Vice Dean Dai even checked Su Zelin's grades personally and found that his scores in every course were almost the highest in the class, and some of them even got full marks, which was incredible.
"Hello, good evening, everyone! I am Su Zelin from the Finance Management Class 1. I am honored to have the opportunity to perform on the stage of the May 4th Cultural Evening!"
The gangster had seen such scenes many times before. Facing the thousands of gazes from the audience, he was not embarrassed at all. He greeted everyone casually with a smile on his face, and his clear voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of every audience member present through the microphone.
"I would like to thank the College Student Union, the Department Student Union, the Cultural and Entertainment Department, and all the audiences!"
"Of course, I am most grateful to those lovely guys in the Finance Management Class 1 who supported me in the most enthusiastic way. Yes, they are the beautiful girls who screamed the loudest and the girls who whistled the loudest!"
"… "
The audience couldn't help but laugh.
Except for programs with a large number of people, such as group dances and choruses, other performers will prepare an opening speech before going on stage.
Almost all the others are well-behaved, and very few are so naughty.
Through this short opening speech, the audience immediately had a certain impression and understanding of Su Zelin.
This boy is obviously an optimistic, cheerful and humorous person. He is also very relaxed, as if being on this big stage is a pleasure, unlike many performers who are a little nervous and restrained.
In fact, the audience's mood is greatly affected by the performers. If the performers are relaxed, they will feel more relaxed. If the performers are nervous, they will also be infected and fear embarrassing situations.
As a performer, if you want your show to be good, you have to use some tricks to adjust the audience's emotions before you start the performance, commonly known as setting the rhythm.
"This guy is still the same on stage as he was in high school!"
Yan Qingyi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
When Su Zelin was in No. 2 Middle School, he was also a frequent guest at cultural evening parties. He had a gangster mentality and a great sense of stage. He was very good at making things happen and was an expert at setting the pace.
Every time there is a cultural evening with him, there is always a lot of laughter.
In addition to his outstanding talents, even though Su Zelin did not have a good reputation at the time, he always had a place in every school cultural evening.
Regarding this point, even Yan Qingyi, who is a broadcaster, couldn't help but admire it.
After entering university, Su Zelin still has that "happy to be naughty" style, but the stage has become bigger.
Tao Min, who had already returned to the audience, was cheered up.
The junior student performed very well in this opening speech. Let’s see how he performs with guitar and singing next!
After leading the trend, Hunzi didn't waste too much time. After all, the time each performer has on stage is strictly limited.
"Tonight, I am bringing you a song that is very popular recently and is loved by many people. Its name is..."
Su Zelin paused for a moment before continuing, "'It's Not My Choice'!"
The audience seats, which had just calmed down, suddenly became noisy again.
This time, it wasn’t just the girls in the Finance Management Class who were screaming.
"Wow, it's the theme song of Meteor Garden!"
"I love Meteor Garden so much. I didn't expect someone would play and sing this song at the party!"
"Meteor Garden has only been released for a short time, and you have already learned its theme song. This is amazing!"
"… "
Just by announcing the title of a song, the entire venue was in a state of excitement, especially the girls who were extremely excited.
There are some tips on choosing songs for this kind of solo performance.
Lei Jun’s famous saying “If you stand on the right spot, even a pig can fly” is actually equally applicable on stage.
"Meteor Garden", a youth campus idol drama, is just that style. It has huge topicality and traffic, so the program effect is naturally beyond reproach.
Another very important point is that because the drama was aired not long ago, it is very likely that no one in any university has ever performed guitar singing on stage. After all, practice takes time.
In this way, the program effect is maximized.
As long as your performance is not too bad, the audience will basically support you.
As for why the theme song "Meteor Shower" was not chosen, but the interlude "Love Is Not a Choice", there is also a reason for this.
Because the lead singers of "Meteor Shower" were four well-dressed singers, many boys were actually not interested in them, and some even held a disgusted attitude towards them. This was one of the reasons why "Meteor Garden" was later criticized by many people.
But "Love Is Not a Choice" is different. The singer of the interlude is Harlem, and Teacher Yu made a cameo appearance as a passerby in the play, which received very good reviews and word of mouth.
Not only girls, boys also like him, which caters to all audiences.
Speaking of the song "Love Is Not a Choice", it has been sung for more than ten years and is still popular. It can be said to be a must-have song for boys to learn guitar and express their love!
So, Su Zelin chose this song perfectly.
The reaction on the scene also proved that his choice was quite wise.
"Oh my god, it turns out to be the theme song of Meteor Garden. The monitor said it was recently released and we girls would like it very much. How come I didn't guess it? I'm so stupid!"
Naitang was excited but also annoyed, feeling that he was a bit stupid and foolish.
"Actually, I did wonder if it was related to Meteor Garden, but then I thought it had only been released for a few days, how could the monitor learn it? Well, I was wrong, I underestimated the monitor's speed!"
Luo Xi shrugged.
"I'm looking forward to it, but also a little nervous. The monitor hasn't been learning for long, so I hope he can perform well!"
Nanako is a girl who yearns for romance, and she even tends to be a bit of a Meteor Garden fan.
The song that Su Zelin performed on stage was actually his favorite theme song from "Meteor Garden". It was impossible for him to say that he was not excited, and it was also impossible for him to say that he was not nervous.
All the lights on the stage suddenly went out, but this did not affect the guitar performance.
The moonlight is very bright tonight, which adds a touch of tranquility to the atmosphere.
Bathed in the bright silver light, the young man who was very active just now suddenly turned into a quiet handsome man.
He gently plucked the guitar strings and sang softly along with a light and lyrical melody.
…
I can't forget the first time I saw you
A pair of charming eyes
Your image in my mind
Can't be dispelled
Hold your hands and feel your tenderness
I really can't breathe.
I want to cherish your innocence
I will be sad to see you being wronged, oh
I'm afraid I'll fall in love with you
Don't dare to get too close
I'm afraid I have nothing to give you.
Loving you also requires a lot of courage
I'm afraid I'll fall in love with you
Maybe one day I won't be able to help myself
Missing you only makes you suffer
I have no choice but to fall in love with you
…
The worries of Nanazi and other audience members were unnecessary, as Su Zelin, a reborn person, had already played the song "Love Is Not a Choice" to perfection.
In fact, just when "Meteor Garden" was just being aired in his previous life, Hunzi's keen sense of smell detected that this song would be a killer weapon to pick up girls, so he practiced it as soon as possible.
There is no doubt about Hunzi's singing ability, he has a nice voice, slightly magnetic, full of energy, and can easily hold both low and high notes.
Halfway through the song, the party was completely out of control, especially the girls who were screaming and shouting hysterically.
It’s such a crazy scene that if you don’t know the situation, you might think that some male celebrity has dropped by the campus.
When it came to the ** part, the whole audience sang along spontaneously.
I'm afraid I'll fall in love with you
Maybe one day I won't be able to help myself
Missing you only makes you suffer
I have no choice but to fall in love with you
…
The original solo performance suddenly turned into a massive chorus of tens of thousands of people, like a tsunami, drowning out Su Zelin's guitar and singing, but it no longer mattered.
When the guitar strings slowly stopped, the party scene had become a hot and unrestrained ocean of passion!
While Su Zelin was greeting everyone, he took out a pair of small-framed sunglasses from somewhere and put them on.
This is exactly the classic look of Harlem, the singer of "It's a Raid", in the TV series "Meteor Garden".
Everyone then realized that the plaid shirt he was wearing, his hairstyle today, and the pair of small-framed sunglasses were all tributes to Teacher Yu, and they looked very similar.
This is another way of setting the tone. This guy is really scheming when it comes to making things happen.
The quiet handsome man switched to funny mode, blew kisses to the audience while holding his guitar, and then left the stage.
The applause, cheers and screams continued until his figure disappeared from the performance channel, especially the little fans like Nanako from the Finance Management Class 1, who were so excited that they covered their faces and cried.
Things didn't calm down until the host stepped onto the big stage again.
"It's over, Shiqing. I'm afraid your Su Zelin will become a popular figure in the Finance Institute. It will be a headache for you!"
Even Yan Qingyi, who had often experienced the tricks used by gangsters in high school, was convinced.
I have to admit that this boy has a big heart.
Far from becoming a pressure or obstacle, the bigger stage has instead unleashed even more amazing potential and made him shine brightly.
Qin Shiqing didn't say anything, her heart was in turmoil.
"I'm just afraid that I will fall in love with you, so I dare not get too close to you, for fear that I have nothing to give you..."
Zelin, is this a reflection of your inner self
Less than a year into college, you've already started your own business.
As the class monitor, he was extremely popular.
Now, he is more likely to become the most dazzling star in the School of Finance.
Isn’t this enough
Zelin, Zelin, you once said that you were not walking fast.
I originally wanted to walk slower and wait for you.
But I was wrong. Maybe I should be the one to chase!
…
The performance of Su Zelin's song "It's Not a Choice" was so powerful that it overshadowed the following unlucky programs and the audience lost interest.
This continues until the end of the evening party.
After the show, when the gangster was walking back to the dormitory with his guitar on his back, he got 100% attention. Some bold girls even came up to him and flirted with him.
Haha, before I knew it, I actually became the most handsome guy in the Finance College!
Thinking this in his mind, Su Zelin walked to the gate of the boys' dormitory and suddenly stopped. He looked ahead, his pupils suddenly contracted, and his face was full of shock.
A graceful figure stands under the moon with her hands behind her back. Who else could it be but childhood sweethearts.
"Qin Shiqing, why... are you here?"
The girl came over and said with a smile, "Do you think you, the governor, are allowed to set fires, but we, the people, are not allowed to light lamps?"
Hearing this, Su Zelin instantly understood one thing.
Damn, my tower was stolen!
This woman, Qin Shiqing, actually sneaked into the Finance Institute's cultural evening party without making a sound.
But how did she know that I would be performing on stage tonight
I didn't tell her!
Yes, it should be Yan Qingyi.
The former senior from Jianglan No. 2 Middle School is now an executive of the college student union. She and Qin Shiqing used to be announcers together, and they had a very good relationship.
"Zelin, if you have a chance, let's go watch the meteor shower together!"
Looking at Su Zelin's face with clear lines and as if it was cut by a knife, Qin Shiqing said seriously.
The bastard snorted, "Boring, no interest!"
"You say one thing and mean another. If you're not interested, why are you still singing the theme song of Meteor Garden?"
"You don't understand, it's mainly for the show effect!"
"I don't care, anyway, you have to go with me!"
"I'm so annoyed. Let's talk about it later!"
"… "
